Hot Water as n Medicine.

In drinking hot water it should be
slipped, and not drunk so fast as to dis
tend the stomach and make it feel un-
comfortable. From fifteen 70 thirty
minutes may be consumed III drinking
the hot water. A period of six months
is generally required TO wash out The
liver and intestines thoroughly. Not
more than half a pint of hot water
should be drunk with the meals. To
make the beverage paIatable. or to med
icate it, ar0mantic spirits Of ammonia,
clover blossom, ginger, lemon juice,
sage, salt OF sulphate of magnesia are
sometimes added. Where there is in
tense thirst or dryness a pinch Of chic
ride Of calcium or of nitrate of potash
may be added to allay the thirst and
leave moistened flmover the parched
and dry mucous surface. When there
is diarrhPa, cinnamon, ginger and pep.
per may be boiled IN the hot water, and
the quantity of sulphate of n2agnesis, or
I half teaspoOnful of taraxacum, may be
used in hot water. Inebriety has a
deadly foe in this use of hot water. All
thirst and dry mucous membrane disap-
pear in few days and a moist condi-
tiOn of the mucous membrane and skin
takes place. The relaxing influence of
the heat inside the alimentary canal re-
lieves spasms and collie OF the bowels,
Just as heat outside the abdomen re-
lieves. Hot water dilutes the ropy
| secretions of the whole body, and rem
ders them less adhesive and tenacious.

substances that may be in the blood and

| leaves 1t fresh and clean for eating
| It promotes elimination everywhere.
AS We are rs per cent. water, to keep
from stagnation we need continual re-

will be but little need of taking water

Singapore a City Of Pets.

The city of Singapore is the chief en-
treport of the Asiatic pet trade, All
along the harbOr the clamor OF captive
birds and monkeys halls the purchaser
from hundreds of shops. Chinese
trainers, Parsee Wholesale dealers and
Malay peddlers are ready to sell or buy
anything from paIoquet to hunting
leopard. Singapore is the Cape Town of
the Asiatic continent. Vessels of all
nations call either for trading purposes
or for supplies and repairs, for
the harbor has the best dry docks
south of Canton, and the cheapest pro-
vision market of any Asiatic coast city.
Splendid mangosteens, combining the
taste of banana and raspberry, can be
bought for few cents a bushel; sago
and yam-roots are equally cheap, and, as
the Malay trappeTs work for shilling a
week the menagerie dealers can afford
to sell a monkey at slight advance on
the aggregate of his board bill.
The forest of half a hundred islands
and peninsulas contribute 20 their stock
in trade. The Malacca junks bring
Gibbon apes, restless climbers with enor-
nous arms and stumpy legs. Siam con-
tributes lemurs and hanumans. Borneo
an occasional orang; Java, parrots and
wild peafowl; Papua, birds of paradise.
OF the lemurs alone tue local market
terms distinguish some twenty differen:
varieties, including the long tailed Tar
sins and the Chirmundi Billi-"B "Bashful
Billy"-a curious, phlegmatic variety
of the genus Lora. - DR.. OstUald in Gin

He Didn't Bite.

There is sharper's game which has
been played for the last hundred years,
and as the turning point is avarice the
game works fOrty-nine times where it
fails once. Two sharpers set out few
weeks ago to play in on a Wayne county
farmer. One of them came along one
day and wanted to buy the farm. AS
the farmer wanted to sell it was quite
easy to strike a bargain. The price
was to be $4,000 in cash, and the man
handed OTer $3.50 to bind the bargain.
Within two days a second stranger came
along and wanted the farm. He want
ed it so bad that he couldn't stand still
He found indications Of coal, natural
gas and coal oil, and he was willing to
give Sc, 500 for the place. The idea was
of course, that the farmer would be aw-
full sick of his first sale and seek to buy
the man off. II would pay him to offer
the man 81. 500 to release him.
The second stranger was only out of
sight when the first one turned up
again. His mouth watered over the
prospect but not for long. The farmer
explained that he had been offered 81
500 more and added
But I don't care for money. The
q, 900 is enough for me and it's all the
old farm is worth. When you are ready
to pay the balance we'Il make out the
papers,
The purchaser offered to release bin
for 81 1000 35OO-S3OO, but the
farmer didn't want to be released. He
hung to the bargain money and he's
got it yet, while the pair of sharpers
rave and gnash their teeth every time
they think of the thickness of his

Orchard Work in June.

Much may be done IN the way of ''an-
tieipated pruning" by going among
newly planted trees and rubbing off all
shoots that appear where branches are
not wanted. BY doing this now the
trouble of saving off large branches
some years later may be avoided. Crafts
that were inserted this spring, and are
beginning TO grow, should be treated as
if they were young trees and brought
into proper shape by judicious pruning
If one bud on a graft takes the lead of
alllOtheIs, stop it by pinching. In short
treat graft as if it were a young tree
planted in the soil, instead of being
planted in another tree. If shoots APP
pear on grape vines where they are not
wanted, remove them. If an old tree
has been severely pruned, numerous
buds will appear on the old wood. These
are generally not wanted and should be
broken off as soon as they appear. This
will be lively month with insects. The
curcuIio attacks the plums soon after
the fruit is set. JaTTing the trees and
catching the fallen insects upon sheet
spread on the ground it the only effec-
tive remedy. Plant lice often appear at
the ends Of the branches of cherry, pear
and other fruit trees. If these can be
bent down and dipped into strong soap
suds, the insects may be killed. If out
of reach, syringe them with kerosene
emulsion. This is so generally useful
as an insecticide on plants that we re-
peat it here: Stir kerosene with half as
much milk until no oil is visible; then
dilute with twelve times its bulk OF
water. This will kill almost all insects
without injury to the plants.-American
AgricllIturiSt.

The MIfe,s Share.

No class of men are more indebted to
to them, than are farmers. The wife
and the mother who has the courage to
go out with the husband of her choice
and commence the struggle of life with
with but little capital, except that
boundless capital Of head and heart, is
worthy 10 stand by the side of the Spar
tan woman of praise. Upon her falls
the brunt of the strife. no matter how
hard the husband may toll; his work
closes with the day, but hers continues
long after, and with her children and
the small chores that many of the be-
ginners look after, her lot is not one to
be envied. And when, after years of
struggle, success, with reluctant feet,
comes to crown the husband with honor,
the brightest wreath should adorn the
brow of the noble wife, who was the
stay and anchor, the comfort and the
source of ali hope in the stormy days of
trial. The wealth should crown her
queen.
We hear much OF the man. We hear
that so-and so is making money. and he
gets the credit Of being a fore handed
man, but it IS quite as often that the
noble little woman, who has toiled and
complains not; who has pir"hed, and
saved, and murmuTed not, is tae ore TO
whom the State and Nation is most
greatly indebted. These are the women
who lead men up TO the higher and
nobler manhood, TO that shrine, where,
like knights of old, they bend the knee
of homage. not to beauty, but to worth
worth and royal manhood. .-Furmer' 5

4 calculation made by the figures of
a mile-long railroad train drawn by a

were 3,252 tons weight on this train,
which was drawn by single fifty five

continued in that pursuit until the
spring Of 1877, when he entered upon
the practice of law; was defeated as
the Greenback candidate for Con-
gress in 1880; and was elected to the
Forty-eighth Congress on the Union
ticket, receiving 16.32S votes against
1903 votes for Julius c. Burrows,
Republican.
J. ID. Turnbull was a member of
the Democratic Committee on Gre
dentials, and Mayor Harshaw was one
of the Vice Presidents of the Green
back Convention.
Mr.. Yaple was selected by the
Greenback Convention OH the first
ballot, and made the following re-
marks:
In accepting your nomination de-
sire to return my sincere and heart
felt thanks for the favor you have
conferred upon me. The Democratic
and Greenback parties, as expressed
in their conventions, arc one in spirit.
Both work in concord in the cause of
Individual liberty. They unite in a
contest with a party Of oppression, a
party of monopoly; in their plat
forms they clasp with their right
hand the hand of labor. This is no
compromise of principle, but the
massing of one army against that of
organized conspiracy against freedom
the Republican party, which is m
obstruction in the path of liberty, an
obnoxious tariff on human progress.
The great problem of the times is
how to increase the purchasing power
of human labor. The history of the
Republican party is blotted all over
with efforts at the depreciation Of Ia.
Dor. There can be no promotion of
labor until every law depressing the
value of man has been blotted out
from the statues. The artificial jew
eled hand of aristocracy yields the
poNeT' iHe pioSPooIS VI INV WI"
try's future depends on better dis
tribution of labor. There is now
constantly increasing work and con-
stantly decreasing pay. The Repub'
lican party has been guilty Of treason
to the people. Of the prostitution Of
public affairs to private gain, The |
work of the Democracy is to rescue
The people.
In accepting Jour nomination L
promise to enter the canvass and to
grandly stump it out for the common
good. A victory has been won in
gaining new administration. Many
things have been advanced. On the
question of finance and tariff have
my own views. You know what they
are. They are not for sale for any
mans favor. They are growing prin-
,iples. There is less faith in the old
