The Cause Of Scratches.

Ine cause Oh scratches.
The disease known as scratches is pro-
duced by local irritation from any cause,
such as exposure to wet, mud, or filth
operating upon disordered condition of
the blood. There is a contagious form
of the disease produced by a. parasitic
fungoid growth, which is spread by the
spores from diseased surface becoming
attached to any wounded part of the
foot. A scratch or cut by calk on h
horses foot may thus be infected by con-
tact with litter or manure upon which a
diseased horse has trodden, and the dis
order is often spread in this manner in
large stables or the stables of hotels and
liverymen. The treatment is similar in
either case. The diseased skin should
be washed with warm water and soap
and bathed freely with saturated solu-
ton of hYposulphite of soda; or solu-
tion of one dram of sulphate of zinc in a
pint of water twice day. An ounce of
hyposulphite of soda should be given
daily for two wecks.-New York Times.

Picking Pears.

n
York Tribune: Some sorts of summer
pears ripen we'll upon the tee, and re-
guire no other special care but to use
them as soo1 as fully fit, for their decay
is very speedy. Others are much the
better for being taken into cool room
to ripen as sooa as the scptum is formed
so that they will detach there. When
taken into cool, still air, ripening is less
rapid, there is less danger Of rot at the
core, and there is more juciness and ia
vor, and more delicacy of color.
1t is very common to see pears which
are ha: d and green in October, left on
the trees, or otherwise neglected as worth.
less, when they are really capable Of
ripening into finer maturity of tender
flesh and rich flavor than any Of the
earlier sorts. For it is general lule
with all fruits that those which require
the longest term to complete their growth
reach the hight st perfection and value.
The very late sorts should be left upon
the tree as long as the night frosts are
light-usually till late in October. 49,
1t is important to pick with care not
to break the stem, but to sever it at its
natural septum of partition. This leaves
it sealed, but if broken nearer the fruit
leakage is opened through which Juice
escapes, and the fruit soon begins to look
shrivelled about its base, and loses quail
ity and capacity for keeping. 1t should
be kept covered so as to prevent draught
of air, and in cool place not too dry.
Ripeness can be fastened by removing
some to drawer in a warm room, when
usually a high color and favor will be
developed, if the due season has arrived

Terrible Fate of an A, ON F am;Iy.

AKRON, o., May 19.-The little home
of Mrs. Mary Mooney, widow, living
on 40 acres of land about a mile North
of the city is in ruins this morning. and
in tub standing in the yard are cal
cined bones and charred bits of flesh,
all that is left of her four little children
who perished in the flames. The fire
broke out shortly before last midnight,
and it is thought caught from an over
heated wood stove. Mrs. Mooney and
her five children Thomas, aged IL,
Julia, 10, Nellie, Z, Lawrence, 4, and
Maggie the baby, aged 2, were asleep
upstairs in one room. Her brother-in-
law, Lawrence Mooney, aged co, and
her grown-up son were in another
room, and her grown daughter Lizzie in
third room also upstairs. Mrs. Moon
ey awoke choked with smoke and called
to the Others TO save their lives. She
got all the five children awake, and
telling them to follow her, jumped with
her babe in her arms. Both babe and
mother escaped with slight injuries.
The elder son and daughter also es-
capped, as did the ebrother-in-law. When
the latter got to the ground, he found
that the four children were still in the
building, from which flames were burst
ing at every window. He rushed fraE-
tically back. only to be terribly burned
and blistered. Again add again he at
tempted to enter the house, which was
now a furnace of fire, but at length
gave up, falling exhausted, with flesh
hanging in shreds from his hands and
face. The four children, crying until
flames choked their voices, were con-
sumed. Lawrence Mooney,the brother
in-law, is in critical condition, and
Mrs. Mooney is almost bereft of rea-
son.
Word this afternoon from the scene
of last nights fire, is that Mrs. Noon
ey has settled into helpless melon
choly that will probably end in insani-
ty. She says nothing, only wings her
hands and means. Her two grown up
daughters, living in this city, went out
to the homestead this morning, ignor-
ant of the terrible calamity. They
raved like maniacs when they beheld
the charred remains of the little ones.
Lawrence Mooney, ethe uncle, it is
thought, can not survive; Patrick, the
eldest son, is lamed for life by his terri
BILE burns. Subscriptions are being ta-
ken up for Mrs. MONEYS relief.

The Legislature has passed the bill
providing that the terms of county au-

necessary by the adoption of the consti-

State elections to the first Tuesday alter
the first Monday of November. Under
the old law the incoming auditors as

DEATH OF MRS. PENDLEroN.
She is Killed by a Runaway Accident
at New York.

NEW YORK, May 20.-Mrs. Alice PEN
dleton, wife of ex-senator Pendleton,
of Ohio, present Minister to Berlin, was
thrown from her carriage while driving
in Central Park this afternoon. The re-
suit was compound fracture of the
skull and conclusion OF the brain, from
which she died ten minutes after the
accident.
Ms. Pendleton was sixty-one years
old, and came from Berlin less than two
months ago with her daughter, Miss
Jane Frances Pendleton, to attend the
funeral of her daughter-;n.law, Mrs.
Frank X. Pendleton, who lived at No.
105 East Thirty fifth street. Since the
funeral of young Mrs. Pendleton the
old lady add Miss Jane had remained
with Mrs. Pendleton's son, who
is q we'll known lawyer of this
city. 1t had been their practice since
coming to New York to take livery
on pleasant days, and go for drive.
Following this custom they engaged a
Victoria and driver this afternoon.
AS they were proceeding through
Central Park, the horses became un-
manageable and ran away, dragging the
driver from his seat. The park police
affirm that when the horses bOlted, the
two ladies, becoming frightened, leaped
from the carriage, one from each side,
the elder lady striking on her head and
causing compound fracture of the skull
and conclusion of the brain. The park
officer who first reached her found her
dead. The daughter, little distance
away, lay unconscious upon the
ground. She was taken up and carried
to the Presbyterian Hospital. The
body of Mrs. Pendleton was borne to
the Arsenal Station in the park, and
thence, after an inquest, to the home
of her son. The verdict of the Coroi,.
ers jury was in accord with the facts
stated, and exonerated the driver, who
had been arrested. The young lady's
condition at IL o'clock tonight was
still that of unconciousness,w with doubts
as to her recovery.
