Major Camp, leaves this week for Jack

the winter, and perhaps remain longer,
if the climate there suits him; but he il
doubtful if the sunny south will agree
with him as well as Dakota. His many
friends in this vicinity will follow him
with heartiest good wishes. He will visit
his brother-in-law, John Hancock, broth
re of General Hancock.

How Plug Hats Are Made.

To make the silk stove-pipe hats, a
large square of muslin is dipped into
shellac, wrung out and then stretched
over a wooden frame to dry. After
drying it is cut up into sizes and shapes
suitable for the various parts of the
hat. Some pieces are cut on the bias
for the crowns Of hats, others are stiff
ened particularly for the brims, while
the muslin for the central cylinders,
which are the sides, is cut into oblong
squares. The material for a dozen Of
these hats is then given to a workman,
who draws the frame of the hat to-
gether around the block and fastens it
bv means of a hot iron. The shell of
the hat, as it is called, is then var
nished and dried, making it stiff, and
then the silk plush is put on, a man
ironing it to the shellac-covered shell
and sponging it with every stroke of
the iron. Girls sew in the crown and
the brin after the sides of the shell
have been fastened. and then the seams
are gone over with a hot iron. which
conceals all traces of them. The brim
is then curled, as in the case of the felt
article, and then the hat goes away to
the luering machine, where polish
brushes, revolving rapidly, give it q
high polish. From the luering ma
chine it goes to the hands of a girl,
who trims it and puts in the lining

Advice to Bathers.

Cold water bathing may prove bene-
fetal or injurious. Much depends upon
the method and still more upon the
person who practices it. A recent
writer in the British Medical Journal
lays down the principle that there are
those whom a cold bath will injure in
stead of invigorate. The readiest test
of benefit is the glow of free surface
circulation, or, at least, the absence OF
any decided chill after immersion.
Those who take to it should begin in
summer, not winter, and so become
gradually accustomed to its lowest
temperature. No n should linger
over it, three or four minutes are am
pie. After immersion the body should
be quickly and we'll dried and rubbed
before dressing. Light gymnastic OF
dumb-bell or club exercise may occupy
the next few minutes, the clothing be-
ing partly on if the weather be cold,
and breakfast or a cup of warm OF
coffee should shortly follow to prevent
chilling

Criminal CareIessness.

The news columns of the New York
Herald recently directed public atten-
ton to the dangers attending the pres
ent methods Of selling rat and bug
poisons. While the law in many States
has made careful provision for the pro-
lection of the people through the regis
tration and proper labelling of such
poisonous drugs IS pharmacists keep
in bulk, yet patent-right poisons are
daily sold to patrons without register
or label. A little child can get a box
of Rough or Something Or Other, con-
tanning arsenic; the druggist will sell
it without question or without even
knowing who sent the child; and some
poisoner like Maxwell is then at liberty
to kill a houseful of people. No one
will ever know where he got the
arsenic with which he did his work.
This matter needs the attention simply
of the executive authorities. The law
is ample to the whole question.

The Easiest Method of Restoring Them to

The Easiest Method of Restoring Them to
yigor.
When apple and other fruit trees
lose their vigor from age, or from
neglect or want of fertilizing, there are
different modes for restoring them to
vigor, which may be used to the best
advantage during autumn. One of the
easiest of application is to spread a
coat of barn manure broadcast for
twenty-five or thirty feet distance from
the trunk of the tree on each side.
This treatment will frequently be suffi-
Gent of itself, in addition to pruning
out any dead branches, or thinning in
the head from the outside, or both.
C%ultivating the surface while the tree
is dormant is an additional aid. For
s mailer trees which are required to
stand in grass, or where they can not
be cultivated, a strong impetus may be
given by cutting radiating trenches
from within a few feet of the tree a rod
or so in length on all sides and filling
these with compost. The large roots
which lie on each side of these trenches,
will send their side roots into the COM
post, and the trees will be pushed
rapidly in growth. The trenches may
be from one to two feet in depth, and
the width that of the blade of the
spade. Another mode instead of cut
ting these radiating trenches, is to GU,
a circular ditch around the tree a
some distance from the trunk and to
fill this with compost. The severa
roots will 500 send new tibres into
the compost, while the pruning which
the roots receive will promote fruitful
ness. Some judgment must be used to
cut the ditch at the right distance; il
too near it will temporarily check the
growth too severely, before the new
roots are formed; andif too far away the
labor will be too great, and the result
less striking. In most cases, however,
and with orchards Of some size, cult
waiting and top dressing will be suti-
Gent. All cutting Of the roots OF
branches must be done while the trees
are not growing.-Coumtry Gentleman.

enco explains itself, and is y glow ing
trihute 10 the various preparations made
by the Home Bitters Co.. including the
celebrated Home Sanative Cordial:
WASHINGTON, ID. e. Sept. II, 1893.
GENTLEMEN - In your case they
fully recognize the medicinal classIfca-
ton of your preparation and the recent
decision of Collector Snrgeon, and hold
that all your preparations may be sold as
medicines without the payment of special
taxes.
Your preparations will now in my opin-
ion, gain stronger fOOthold than ever
before, rs they can in good faith be sold ~
medicines, and will, under the rulings,
crowd out other less valuable prepara-
tlOnS, and will have this advantage: the
Commissioner now has confidence ~ them,
aud 1 am satisfied he will not allow any
petty annoyances concerning them.
You should emphasize in your adver-
tlSenIents that your preparations arc
mdHatdctared az medicines, adrertised ~
medicines, and sold ~ medicines and used as
medicines, and highly endorsed by the
medical profession as rdiudbie medicines.
