A notable meeting was held in
Chicago on Sunday, at which de-
bate occurred between the represen-
satives of trades unions and the
socialists, at which the condition OF
the working classes was discussed
The trades union men argued and
proved that the condition of the
working men was very much better
than it ever had been, and their re.
lation with capital WAS much more
satisfactorily. The socialists, on
the other hand, cont ended that the
poor were growing poorer and the
rich growing richer, and that moth
ing short of a redistribution of the
wealth of the country would cure
the ills of the suffering poor. While
there is a great deal of truth in the
complaint of the socialists, it will
not justify their remedy, which,
though presently both chimerclal
and absurd, is none the less incen-
diary and dangerous. But SO long
as the trades union men hold the
position they defended on Sunday
there need be no fear of the social
lists. They are merely so many
gas bags.-Appeal.

When the weather is too severe
or unfit for out door work, there Is
no place whore 8 farmer can employ
a part of his time to q better adj
vantage, and with mere profit and
pleasure than in fixing up and ar
ranging and rearrangiDg his sta
bles. 1t must be 8 stupid man ia
deed who cannot find something
about the farm or stables that can
not be improved upon, and by E few
hours or perhaps a few minutes
work, much annoyance ana labor
might be saved. If the managers
are too high or too low now is the
time to change them. If there are
rickerty doors, or broken hinges, or
fastenings that are hard to adjuat,
there is no better time to attend to
it than now. 1t is impossible,
would time and space admit, to emu
marate all the details OF the stable
which often need attention. The
greatest difficulty is generally over
come when such work is once be-
gun. To get at it is the trou BILE
not because of the work it involves,
but because it is SO easily put off
from one time to another. After
the start has been made, one. i'm
provemsnt will suggest itself after
another, and the farmer who has
the least symtoms OF pride in regard
to the convenience and appearance
OF of his barns and their surround
ings will wonder why he delayed
the matter SO long. The barn
should be held in the same esteem
by the farmer as the house is by
farmers wife,

Mr.. w. H. Curtis of Hominy, in

been subject to the most violent at
tack of neuralgia in the head, at
times almost driving him mad. A
few days ago he had another at
tack, which, if anything, was more
severe than any previous, and it
lasted several days and nights. His
remedy was quinine in heavy doses
which he again tried, but as soon
as the effect of quinine was off his
pain returned seemingly with in
creased intensity. Finally recol-

The Therapeutics Of a Gold,

This is the season OF the year
( for catching cold. The fact
that no one was ever known to
catch heat is spoken of as evidence
that heat travels faster than cold.
Patience with O cold seldom, con-
suit a physician unless it is unusu-
ally severe, but since they do come
occasionally it is well to have the
most successful methods of treat
ment in mind. Tho first object of
the treatment Of any disease is
diagnosis. This is difficult in some
diseases, and the treatment proper
tionately so. OF cold, however, a
few questions will usually suffice:
you do not look well, how's
your c1ldr' "Breddy, bad thag
you''-and there, the first difficulty
is solved, the diagnosis is clear
enough. Skill in diagnosis usually
implies competency for treatment,
and who so competent to arrive at
a correct diagnosis of a cold as an
editor? The very nature of his oc-
cupation favors it, as intent upon
his work, he sits In the highest,
coolest, and generally most cheer
less room of the establishment, his
only thought for the future being
of beneftting his readers and get
ting out in time.
Editors are seldom handled in
the lap of luxury. They may seem
a rolicking sec of fellows, but they
know what it means to have ''the
nose on the grindstone," and are
very familiar with colds, cold
shoulders, etc. 1t was an editor
who. when asked why he spoke of
gresnback as ''ten-dol-
lar William" said he did not feel
well enough acquainted to call it
"BilI."
As he sets with ink daubed fin
gers, head bent over his work, and |

editor2 The whole fraternity and
all their readers owe q debt of
gratitude to the editor who placed
on record the following plain treat
ment which was successfully car
ried out by one Of his corps: He
boiled 3 little boaeset and hore
hound together and drank freely of
the Infusion before going to bed.
The next days he took five pills to
''open the bowels"-they opened
them and no mistake-put one
kind of plaster on his breast, an
other under his arms, and other on
his back. His mother put some
onion draughts on his feet, and
gave him a lump of tar to swallow,
and friend Of his mother advised
him to apply mustard paste after
removing the plasters. They came
eff hard, but he finally removed
them, using an oyster knife. Then
he put hot bricks to his feet and
went to bed. Next morning snoth-
er lady, Sc dear SOUL" brought in
some goose oil and gave him sons
on quill, and an aunt arrived
from the country bringing him a
bundle of sweet fern, which she
made into tea and gave him ev-
cry half hour until noon, when he
took large dose of salts. Later
in the day he took half pint OF
hot rum at the suggestion of an
old sea captain in the next house
and steamed his legs with an alco
hol bath. A this crisis an old Ia
dy from the next block arrived
who had had much experience il
doctoring, and who saw at once
that his blood was out of order
and gave him half gallon ofspear
mint tea and big dose of castor
oil. Before going to bed he tool
eight of new liver pill, wrapped /,
flannel soaked in hot vinegar anc
salt abont his neck, and had feath
ers burned on a shovel in his room

Soon the busy season for farm
teams WILDE fully upon us. Break
ing sod for corn should be begun as
early as weather will permit, and it
is certainly about rs hard work as
horses are required to do, at least q
part of the winter, it Is necessary
that they have some preparation fer
this trying ordeal 10 the way OF
strengthening food, careful groom
ing, plenty OF exercise. Horses
that have had steady work all win
ter will be found able to do much
the most work with the least ia
tigue and we are much less liable to
have sore shoulders; hence the Ad-
vantage of keeping them busy if
possible. If well summered is half
wintered, as the old sdags has it
concerning all kinds of live stock,
it is safe to reverse it in regard
to horses at least, and say that
well wintered is half summered.
The value of farm teams during
the busy season depends a great
deal more upon the condition they
are in when they enter upon it than
many suppose. This ID more espe-
cislly true in regard to the heavy
work OF early spring than any other
time, and the farmer who has not
already begun to temper his teams
for the work they have before them
stands in his own light.

True Heroisna,

A general in the Esglish army,
having halted for the night, having
lost his baggage, lay down tired and
sick without any blanket. An Off
Ger came up and said, "Why, you
have no blanket. I'll go md get
you blanket. He departed a few
moments and then came back. and
covered the general up with a very
warm blanket The general said,
Whose blanket is this?" The Off
Ger replied, Il got that from a pri-
vate soldier in the Scotch regiment,
Ralph Mcdonald" Now" said the
general, "You take this blanket
right back to that soldier. He can
no more do without it than can.
Never bring to me the blanket of a
private soldier" How many men
like that general would it take to
warm the world up2 The vast ma
jority of US are anxious to get more
blankets, whether anybody else is
blanketed or not

Comncsition.

Here is little Laura's compost
ton of COW: "a cow is an ami
NAL with four legs on the under
side, on each korner. The tail is
longer than the legs, but it's not
used to stand on. The COW has big
ears that wiggle on hinges; so does
the tail. The COW kills flies with
her tail. A cow is bigger than a
calf, but not as big as an elephant.
She is made small, so she can go in
the barn door when nobody is look
ing. She tossed the dog that wor-
ried the catasthat killed the rat.
Black cows give white milk; so does
other cows. Milkmen sell milk to
buy their little girls dresses, which

Tha Hair.


DR.. Wilson, of England, is high
authority on the hair. He con
demns washing it, and advises, in
stead, thorough brushing. This
promotes circulation, removes schrf,
and is, in all respects, better than
water.
Cutting the hair does not, as com
monty thought, promote its growth.
Most of the specifics recommended
for badness, not excepting petrole-
um, are mere stimulants and are
seldom or never permanently sue
cessful. Some of them give rise to
congestion of the scalp When a
stimulant is desirs BILE, ammonia is
the best. 1t is safe,
For falling out of the hair, Dr.
Wilson prescribes a lotion com
posed of water of ammonia. almond
oil and chloroforn, one part each,
diluted with five parts alcohol, or
spirits of rosemary, the whole made
fragrant with a drachm of oil of
lemon. Dab it on the skin, after
thorough friction with the hair
brush. 1t may be used sparingly
or abundantly, daily or otherwise,
For cooling lotion, one made OF
two dra chms of herax and glycerine
to eight ounces of distilled water is
effective, sllaying dryness, subdu-
ing irritability, and removing scurf
Both baldue ss and grayness de
pend on defective powers Of the
scalp skin and are to be treated
alike. What is needed is moderate
stimulation without any irritation
The following is good; Rub into

Bible work a. the N. Q. Exposition

I
The American Bible Society has
secured the privilege of placing the
scriptures in various languages on
sale and for gratuitous distribution
in the main building of the Cotton
Centennial Exposition at New Or
leans. 1t has been thought very
desirable to reach not only the En-
glish speaking population, but es-
pecially those who read the Spanish,
Portuguese, German and French Ian
guages. 1t is believed that many
persons from Mexico, Central Amer
lea and South America may thus be
supplied with tbs word of life who
could not easily be reached at any
other time or place.
This work will call for very con
siderable extra expense, which it is
believed many will be willing to aid
the Society in meeting, by special
and prompt contributions to its
treasury. Such contributions are
earnestly solicited.
