Ayers Sarsaparila.

Six months ago was completely covered with
terrible humor and scrofulous sores. The
humor caused an incessant and intolerable
itching, and the skin cracked SO as to cause
the blood to flow in many places whenever
moved. My sufferings were great, and my
life burden. / commenced the use Of the
SARsAPARILLA in April last, and have used
it regularly since that time. My condition
began to improve at once. The sores have
all healed, and feel perfectly well in every
respect-bein now able to do good days

what has wrought such a cure in my case, and

The Jews were heaven-taught SANTA
rians, and they kept huge fires burning
outside their cities to receive lost mat
ter. Cremation is the only fitting
turn in the circle of creation; inert
matter goes into a veil of rosy, fiery
vapors, and vanishes, as it's essence
vanished before it, into mystery. A
few hours, and it is redeemed from moi
some, slow decay. At least, there is
nothing to repel or alright us in the
handfuls of white dust, fine as the star
dust that falls from kindled meteors
and leaves the heavens aglow for sea-
sons after. Out of the city's waste,

Platinum and Its Uses.

From the New York Mail and Expressl
There is only one establishment in
New York where platinum articles are
manufactured. The place is on Bond
Street, the industery being conducted
on the third floor of a building. AL
though it's surroundings are unpreten-
tious, college professors and scientific
men from all part of the United States
are familiar with it, and large bust
ness is carried on. It's proprietor,
who is an old resident of the city, was
asked by a reporter for some particu-
lars regarding the trade in platinum.
''There isn't much to tell YOU" he
said. Eyes, this is the only place of it's
kind in the city, and Ihave been estab-
lished here a great many years.. Plati-
mum, generally speaking, is one-third
the value of pure gold. 1t is worth, in
round figures, So a troy ounce Most
Russia. We get it from Russia in what
is known as fiat stock or sheets, and
in thick wire rods" "Isn't it found in
American" asked the reporter.
''Not to any extent. Wedo get some
from Oregon and South America, but
not much, and the trouble now is that
the price is going up while there are no
new supplies forthcoming. It lis manu-
featured chiefly for laboratory use, in
colleges and elsewhere. The sheets and
wires are made into small vessels and
for experimental purposes, the value
of the metal consisting in it's resistance
to heat. It takes double the heat to
melt it that is required to work cast
iron. The articles made from,it include
boilers, alembics, crucibles, syphons,
tubes, wire gauze, blow pipes, spoons,
spatulas, refining syphons and jewelers.
coloring baskets. | supply colleges
with these articles in all parts of the
country"
The speaker here showed the re-
porter a piece of the sheet platinum.
1t measured II inches long by 6inches
wide, and was about half an inch thick.
1t had the appearance of full silver and
was very heavy.
"You might not think it," he added
'Ebut [ would not take 81, 900 for that
piece of metal. It's great weight is re-
markable, as you see; it is the heaviest
of the commercial metals"
"What is increasing the demand for
platinum ?" was asked.
'"The electric lights. In these, of the
incandescent description, the platinum
is used in the globe of the burner, being
the two fine wires that are used in the
globe to connect with the leading copper
wire. No other metal could be
fused into the glass that would
not become oxidized. OF course,
the increased demand for the
electric lights increased the demand
for platinum. Why, to show you how
much of it is used, when one of the
electric light companies was started
and they were both using and spelling
great many of their lights, they were
paying me $1,000 per week for pla-
tinum wire.

Wealth in the Dust Heap.

From the Boston Saturday Evening Gazette]
The questions of sewage and SANTA
ry matters are not nice at first glance
but they have a fascination for one
who Is anxious to have public and
private interests right from the foun-
dation. The public, too ignorant and
finical to be really refined, averts it's
eye from the unpleasant subject of
dead cats and dogs and street sweep
ings, and goes on living in dirt, breath
The purist, impatient to have an Of
tense swept from the face of nature,
and air and earth restored to it's pris-
tine freshness, delves into the dismal
subject to have done with it once and
forever. Probably no new theories
are to be evolved. The race has
known what to do with it's wastes from
the beginning, as soon as it titled the
ground Or knew the use of fire. 1t
takes ages for the world to come to the
use of common sense and common
methods. The trash of cities is to be
disposed of simply enough by enforc-
ing rigidly the separation of garbage
and sitting of ashes. All litter should
be burnt in the range or furnace at
once; all food waste, treated with
chemicals like rex magnus to prevent
ferment, should go to feed cattle. The
beef of Boston, could be raised within
fifty miles of Boston, and largely fed
on compressed food from city Kitchens
which could beinexpensively delivered,
not half spoiled, as brewery waste
and Stops are now used, by far
mers, but as wholesome as when
it left the cooks hands. The
sifted ashes from every grain of
cinder would be the best filling for low
lots, not fever in a city full Of it, and
less likely to freeze pipes laid in it. All

skimmed-or by putting on pasture
before the grass is sufficiently mature.
A good remedy is phosphate of lime,
six ounces; powdered ginger, three
ounces; charcoal four ounces; golden
seal, two ounces; bayberry bark, one
ounce: mix and divide the mass into
twenty parts and mix one of them in
oatmeal Cruel and give night and
morning. If the calves are quite young
once a day will do.
SIR J. B. LAwEs, in an article on en-
silage in the Scottish Agricultural Ca
zette, thinks it extremely difficult that
COW eating seventy pounds of silage,
containing only fifteen pounds of dry
matter, could be kept in milk and i'm
proved in condition, when, according
to German experiments, it would re-
quire some seventeen pounds of dry
matter to merely sustain existence.
He says the experiments SO far re-
| ported with silage are more or less like
experiments with pigs, in which an I'M
| known weight of food is stirred in a
pail of water and the weight of the
mixture is taken. He thinks we have
arrived at the fact that various green
|
duce good food, but beyond that
point it is not easy to advance with
out very careful experiments.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Country
| Gentleman has this to say about oil
meal for calves. Take old process oil
meal and pour hot water over it, and
| let it soak from one feeding to another,
and heat before feeding. Ihave found
dry oil meal do calves but little good.
| Their stomachs are too weak. Feed
from one tablespoonful to half pint
per calf, with milk, dishwater, etc.
Get them to eat whole oats, if you
can, in addition to other feed, always
being careful not to overfeed. Many
young calves are ruined by overfeed-
| ing. Calves, to do their best, ought
always to have access to good, pure
water, to drink, as milk will not
| Quench thirst. Some dairymen took
to feeding cottonseed meal to calves
several years ago, with bad results,
owing perhaps, to their not giving
them plenty of water.
HORSE RADIsH is extensively grown
by market gardeners near large cities
1t requires a very rich, deep, rather
moist soil, and is raised from sets,
that is, thin pieces of root, the trim
mings of the previous years crop, cut
into pieces Of four to six inches in
length. The land should be well
worked before planting, which has to
be done early in spring. In field cul-
ture the sets are planted in rows about
three feet apart and eighteen inches in
the rows. The planting is done by
simply making a hole with a pointed
stick, dropping the set SO that it is
about three inches below the surface,
and then pressing it firmly with the
foot. During the first month or two
the ground has to be kept we'll culti-
waited and clean; later the leaves cover
the entire ground SO as to make Guilt
walton useless or unnecessary.

An Angel Rat-Catcher.
From the Sacramento Union. l


There Is at present in the county
hospital a professional rat-catcher,
named Angel He is a haf-witted,
low-browed fellow, and his looks in
dictate that he is anything but what
his name would imply. AS rat
catcher, however, he is a success, and
late yesterday afternoon he gave an
exhibition of his powers that was SIM
ply wonderful. Several of the best
rat terriers in the city were procured,
and against these Angel was pitted.
The first exhibition of his beastly
work was at the hospital, where TWEEN
ty-fve rodents were dispatched, Angel
killing a majority. The party then
went over to Gerber Brothers slaugh-
ter-house, where the ''game" was found
to be more plentiful. There dents had
congregated by the score under bales
of hay, and the exciting contest was
kept up for over an hour. The dogs
and man would gather about bale,
some one would give the hay sudden
tip, and the rat-catchers would rush
in. Angel, with the rapidity of light
ming, would grasp g. rat with his left
hand, and with his right gave the
rodents head aquick twist that would
break it's neck instantly. At other
times he would grasp a rat in each
hand, dash them together, and both
would fall to the ground lifeless. Over
one hundred were killed here, and Angel
killed two to the dogs one. Prior to
Angel going to the hospital, he gained
living solely by killing rats, and on
one occasion slaughtered forty-fve in
onehour in the basement of K Street
establishment.

Indian Graves to Order.
from the Popular Science. I


So determined, indeed, are some Of
the fabricators of frauds that the fol-
lowing incident is worthy of being pub
lished to show the ingenuity they exer-
else in their peculiar calling. To dis
cover an Indian grave is, of course a
red-etter day for the arch@ologist.
Now, Indian graves are manufactured
to order, it would appear. At least,
the following recently occurred in New
Jersey: A Philadelphia Flint Jack Sc
cured half-decayed skeleton from a
potter's field in the vicinity, and
placed it in a shallow excavation on
the wasting bank of a creek in New
Jersey, where Indian relics were fre-
quently found. With it ne placed a
steatite tobacco pipe of his own make
steatite carving of an eagles head,
and beads. With these were thrown
numbers of genuine arrow-heads and
fragments of pottery. The earth was
blackened with powdered charcoal.
This "plant" was made in November,
and in the following March, during the
prevalence of high waters and local
freshets. he announced to an enthusi-
astic collector that he knew the loca-
ton of an Indian grave, and offered to
take him thither for $50, the money
to be paid if the search proved success
full, which of course it did. The crani-
UNI of that Philadelphia pauper
passed through several craniologists'
hands and was gravely remarked up
on as OF unusual interest, as it was q
marked dolichocephalic skull, whereas
the Delaware Indians were bracby-
cephalic.
