Lemons and Their Uses.

AS a health-giyiug fruit the lemon is
greatly undervalued. Its frequent use,
especially in the warm season, is preventive
of the malaria that comparatively new and
fashionable disease. The Juice of two
lemons taken in half glass Of water before
each meal is a powerful remedy for rheu-
matism, and it is also considered almost u
specific for intermittent fever. The Juice of
one lemon taken three times day in cup
OF clear, strong coffee, will often cure chills
and fever, when the disease is stubborn
and unyielding TO all other remedies.
Lemon Juice is cooling and purifying to
the blood, and valuable regulator for
many of the ailments peculiar 10
spring. For its good medicinal effects
ii should be taken without sugar, but
always somewhat diluted; if clear, its
powerful acid has injurious effect upon the
coatlrgs of the stomach and the teeth We
know of u physician who used lemsn Juice

is excellent for cold. but, as it produces
perspiratlon, 1t should be taken only upon
retiring. The white of an egg beaten to a
stiff froth and whipped up with the Juice
of lemon, relieves hoarseness and sore
ness of the chest at once, taken by the
teaspoonful half hourly. The pulp of L
lemon, bound on for three successive
nights, is said to cure corns. and a few pearl
shirt buttons dissolved in the juice Of one
lemon forms thick, creamy ointment that
will almost surely cure them. So we find
the medicinal properties of the lemon are
many and varied; their value in culinary
art is also great The rind, thinly pared off,
is an agreeable fayoring for custards,
creams and blanc mango. 1t should be
cooked in the milk ard removed before the
other ingredients are added. The yellow
rind only is fit for use-the white part is
always bitter. The juice of lemon added
to an apple pie when the apples are not
tart, or when they have become insipid in
spring, is greatimprovement. The grated
rind, also, imparts pleasant flavor, other
fiavorings being omitted. Used in cookery,
We find this acid fruit makes many deli

SQUIRRELS As PRosPEcToRs.-We find
the following in the Virginia (Nevada)
Chronicle
Bradley, the prospector who discovered
the new mining camp in Esmeralda, form
erly known as Lake District, but now
changed to Hawthorne, gives the following
account of how he found the rich gold
bearing vein on which the La Panta and
other claims are located through the
merest chance The La Panta lode is what
is known as "blind ledge" there being
no surface groupings to indicate the exist
ence of mineral bearing vein at the point
where it is located: In passing along the
side of the hill Bradley's attention was at
tracted by a mass of decomposed quartz
mingled with dirt, that had been scratched
out by ground squirrels in digging holes in
the side of the hill. which was fairly hon.
eycombed with them. He collected some
of the quartz, crushed it in a mortar and
horned it out, getting a fine prospect of
gold. This led him to search for the vein
whence the decomposed quartz had beer
excavated, which he found by following
the squirrel holes, which extended close up
to the rim of the vein or gold-bearing
ledge, one claim on which has been dis
posed of for SIS, coo. Had it not been for
the excavations of the whiskered little ro-
dents the gold bearing vein that is now at
tracing so many prospectors and mining
men to Esmeralda might have remained
hidden for countless centuries.

authority than President Cleveland, but
what kind of q gun is not mentioned.

called a cannon, and the material is too soft
for musket; be has neither lock, stock nor

about him to make q ramrod. nor cart

that he has any claim to anything higher

While storm-clouds veil, when earth needs

Know why the weakling with LIES chances

To those who idly ritter them away,
While others, who, to us, have nobly strfyen
For Gods good gifts go empty on their way.
Sometime, my child, thou'lt know why hearts
are ever thirsting
For waters hid whose gurgle they can hear
Why the Forbidden Fruit hangs DER us ripe to
Why the Far Of cannot be the Near
Sometimes, my child, thou'lt know why tears

From eyes that i'll become the most of grief :
Why friends we thought were constant, prove

Why hfes burden-death a sweet relief.

THE RED SUNsErs.-The after -giows +"
which became nearly extinct last winter
have again become very apparent to obsery-
ers. in western Europe, at least. AT Mon
calieri, snd in other parts of Italy and
Sicily, also, they became very intense
toward the end Of the month Of May,
and their briHiancy was even in
creased during the first days Of June. On
June 18th especially. the effects were most
surprising. rivaling those Of the winter of
1888. P.J Denxa considers that all this
tends to confirm his own theory, that the
crepuscular CLOVIS are due, not to the Kra-
katoa eruption, bat mainly to the vapor of
water disseminated throughout the higher
regions of the atmosphere.

seconds to pull myself together. and ask:
Well, who are you, stopping me like this?'
Why, I'm little Danny. l can't work

cause won't stay there; but can't, that's
ALL"
1t must be an unnatural mother who
would desert her child in his wretched con-
dition. Evidently he was in consump-
tons last stages, though there was no hec-
tic flush which generally marks that dread
disease. Glad to escape such an unhappy
sight, Mortified with the contrast between
this vampire-like creature and the pleasant
memory Of Little Danny" went about
making some inquiry, and learned this:
30, he struck you for coin, eh2 He's
like lightning; never goes twice tothe same
place 50 you'll not see him again. DRINK
Oh, no. He told the truth. Cousump-
ton? Well, hardly. Just broke up az he
says. Queer, you say? Now, LOOK here:
have You been IN California steen years
and don't know q fend when you see
one?"
What do You mean by fend?'"

Now do you know Little Danny is
good for just about three more months of
this life. He neither eais nor sleeps. but
lives on opium. His folks have done
everything, but he is past redemption.
They've bad him jailed, and run him of,
but he always gets back here to work the
joints" He's sold his banjo, clothes and
soul to Chinese devil, but holds on to his
outfit until death. An OUTFIT Well, his
is beautiful box about as large as deep
cigar box. It is made of polished Califor-
MIA laurel, inlaid with solid silver, and
holds his pipe and other tools. His opium
box he had made Of silver dollars, and
worships il so he almost prays to it. The
outfit is worth full $50, but he would die
before he'd part with it. He's a fool, but
I'm sorry for him, because he's young yet
and was the brightest boy in his business
this coast ever turned out. Opium's a
heap worse than drinking. and that's where
Prohibitionists ought to turn their tongues
toward. If California boys take nothing
worse than California claret they will
never get where Dan is to-day. You can't
find many Sons of the Golden West done
from drink but you can find hundreds,
and the number increasing, who are Just
where he IS from opium. Investigate and
You will find out that to be the case"
There is an entire sermon in the above
facts. CAROL GROUSE.

COMPOSING AND STBREorYPING MACHINE
The compositors of Chicago are consider
ably exercised over startling rumors con-
corning machine which, it is claimed, will
do away with the services of type settlers
altogether. 1t is positively stated that five
or six of the most prominent newspaper
proprietors of the country have purchased
the invention, which has been in course of
improvement for year past, and is now
secured by fifty patents. It is claimed that
arperfect machine will cost only $3.50 that
by means of a key board similar to that of a
typewriter, matrices are operated until q
line of newspaper column is completed,
when, by simple and ingenious contriv-
ance, the line is instantly and perfectly
spaced out, but is now only in papier-msche
indentations-not in type. The papier
mache line now enters another part of the
machine, where molten type-Inetal is intro
duced, and perfect line drops out, type
high, instead OF q single letter, as in the
ordinary type-casting machine. The opera
ton is said to be almost as rapid as type
writing, and that one machine viii do the
work OF from eight to ten ompositors, and
even more, when it is considered that no
distribution is required. The lines as cast
are arranged automatically upon galley,
which, when filled, is proved and read as
ordinary type, an error or change necessi-
tadng the resisting of fhe line. The
operators do not need to be printers all the
requirements being intelligence IN reading
manuscript, in punctuation. etc, and
manual dexterity.-llnlandP Printer.

Or LIGHTNING RoD-A big stir was
created at Harrisburg by the impaling of
an osprey on the lightning rod of the
Pine-street Presbyterian Church at hight
of 100 feet. The bird, which measured
about six feet across the wings, was caught
in the right wing. Crowds gathered about
the church all day, Witnessing its desperate
struggles for freedom. A handsome reward
was offered for the capture of the wounded
bird, and several efforts were made to Sc
cure the prize. The Mount Vernon Hook
and Ladder Company got one of the Hays
trucks in the hope of reaching the dizzy
hight with the ladder. A daring fellow
climbed out of one of the windows of the
spire and drew himself up the lightning
rod by sheer force until he had covered
about two-thirds Of the required hight
from the place of starting, when he weak
ened and descended to point Of safety
After the bird had suffered for several
hours it was killed by rife BALI Phila-
delphia Times. E.
