CARPET BEATING
NOTICE.

There is no article i'm a household that
collects more unhealthy dirt than Car
pet. After carpet has been in use for
some time, sweeping takes Off only a
part Of the dust and dirt, and the rest
settles down into the fibre. No ordinary
beating will remove it. Hand beating
is ineffective, and the common beating
machine process but little better. Our
method is thorough and effedtiye one,
and the super heated steam as applied
by our process will effectually relieve
the Carpets of all impurities, thereby
promoting health and comfort. Ma

In the Commons.

LONDON, May 13.-In the House of Com
mons today, NJ. Embellishments said
he was authorized to deny that Gen. Lord
Woiseley had declared that if home rule
were granted Ireland and he were ordered to
suppress an UlsterIpebellion he would resign
and with 1000 other British officers join the
Ulster rebels. He characterized this story
as an absurdity.
Gladstone Stated that the government
would propose that the debate ON the Home
Rule bill should be from day to day, begin
ming next Monday. The government would
not take tomorrow friday for such debate,
because Morley, chief secretary for ireland,
would then move the second reading Of tne
bill relating to the purchase and use OF arms
in Ireland.
Debate on Gladstone's bill was then resum-
ed by Rt Hon. Sir Henry James. He criti-
cised the bill, saying it made excellent pro-
visions, but provided no security for the exc
cution of these provisions. Sir Henry did
not believe that the bill would prove final
settlement of the Irish question, but did be-
lieve that Irishmen would use it simply as
vantage ground for a warfare upon England
to obtain, eventually, total separation. He
believed the bill would lead to confusion and
chaos. He hoped the House would maintain
unbroken the three kingdoms which formed
the present union.
Campbell-Baunerman followed in support
of the measure. He did not believe the
Irish would exhibit all the vices and none OF
the virtues Of nation. The government
had allowed things in Ireland to drift, until
English rule in Ireland had become to be de-
spised He believed a majority OF the House
favored the cardinal principle OF the bill In
conclusion Baunerman declared the govern
ment were quite ready to consider all tne
suggestions for retention of the Irish repre-
sentatives at Westminster.

Threatening Attitude Of Ulster Loy-

LONDON, May 13.-The threatening atti-
tude of the Ulster Loyalists is beginning to
disturb the government. 1t is stated that
many families are preparing to quit the pro-
vince, and many agents of landlords are re-
signing, .under the fear that rebellion is
certain.
ARMAGH. May ia large association of
Loyalists has been formed here for the pur-
pose of arming and drilling the opponents
of home rule. This organization has arrang-
ed for the purchase of an ample number of
rifles at 25 shillings apiece, and quantities
of war material have already been obtained
and stored. Several bodies of men have al
ready been under drill for some days, and
the Loyalists hereabouts express stern re-
solve to resist home rule in any shape.

MADRID, May 13.-A terrible hurricane
has just swept across the middle of Spain.
In this city, 70 persons are known to have
been instantly killed, and 200 Others serious
ly injured. The wind struck the city with
the suddenness of lightning. Tram-cars and
cabs were overturned and broken to splin-
ters Roofs were dislodged and telegraph
wires were everywhere torn from the poles.
Parks in and about the city were devastated,
and in some cases entirely denuded. one
church tower was blown down, number of
houses in the suburbs were entirely wrecked
and of many cottages on the outskirts of the
Capital, whichwere blown from their foun-
dations and wrecked, some were so COM
pletely and quickly broken up and scattered
by the wind that they may be said to have
simply vanished before the storm. Tele-
graphic communication -has been so COM

lieyed that the ruin wrought by the hurri-
cane has been widespread.

A GRIM DESTROYER.

The Rum Power Seeking to Ruin tho
Sabbath, the Working-man, and All Re
strictive Laws.
The rum power is Fastening to its
final downfall, itself urging on tho
movement that will destroy it. 1t has
refused TO be controlled. 1t has Knocked
at law, at religion, at morality. 1t has
set to every criminal in the land the
example of open, fragrant violation of
every statute that would interfere with
it. 1t has attempted the destruction
of the Sabbath, and set the example of
continuing labor through the entire
seven days of the week 1t has fur
nished places of resort for the vicious
and deprayed classes, and refugees for
the criminal.
The rum power lays its hand upon
labor, and levies upon the working
classes tax far heavier than any gov
eminent ever dared impose. 1t con-
dennis an unaccounted host to live in
squalid poverty, and drives thousands,
when their working days are over, into
the poOr-houses to spend their old age.
1t increases taxation upon every kind
of property, in order to support the
police force of every city and town,
the courts, their officers, and to erect
jails and penitentiaries, rendered neces-
sary largely through its accursed in
strumenrality.
The rum power is an unmitigated
curse to the Nation. The traffic has
not one relieving feature, and the men
VINO are interested in it resist to the
last any law which endeavors to I'M
pose tax upon their unholy occupa-
ton, in order that it may help to sup
port the enormous burdens upon the
State which it renders necessary. The
rum power practically assumes that
the Nation exists only to become its
own prey. 1t resists all efforts to shake
off its yoke, and hesitates not to appeal
to the law, of which it is the great vio-
lator, in order that its vested right to
ruin and destroy may not be hampered
IN the smallest degree.
Need any one wonder that the people
whose eyes are opened to the enormity
of the evils of rum are demanding the
utter destruction of the traffic? Is 1t
not rather a surprising thing that the
long-suffering people have not risen in
their might to destroy by the strong
hand the cause of such fearful woes as
follow in the train of rum, to lift by
violence from their necks the yoke of
such an unholy and tyrannical mon
ster?---I Toledo Blade.

A Family Wrecked by Drink.

James Welsh, formerly a member of
the New Jersey Senate, and his wife
Sarah, were lately arrested in Phila-
delphia on charge of drunkenness
and neglecting their children, and
were sent to the House of Correction
for six months. Their sons, Thomas,
fifteen years old, and Joseph, thirteen,
were taken in charge by relatives,
while two younger ones, eleven and
five years old respectively, were given
to the care of the Society to Protect
Children from Cruelty. Welsh for
merly lived in Monmouth County, N.
j., and was at one time worth consid-
cradle property. He came to that city
eleven years ago, and entered down
ward course until his little fortune was
swept away-ruined by rum. His wife
also took to drink, and they gradually
sank in the social scale until Ehey had
disposed OF nearly all their furniture
for rum. The earnings of the older
boys were also spent to procure liquor,
and the children were compelled to beg
for the necessities of life. The case
finally came to the notice of the Of
ficers of the ChiIdren's Society, and
they had the unnatural parents ar
rested and committed. The family was
found in a wretched condition in
room almost bare of furniture and
reeking with filth and dirt-PhitadeL-

bay, as do spirits of campho: and col

the bite are camphor, ammonia, soda wet

Every living active part of plant
contains a certain amount of water
From many juicy parts ninety per cent
of water can be expelled by drying;
many green leaves from seventy-five to
eighty, while from seeds which we call

off about ten per cent. Part of this water
is SO intimately combined with the plant
structure that if it is once expelled it
can not be again taken up in such a
manner as to restore the plant to its
former condition.

Dishorning Calves.

The popular time for dishorning is
when the horn has grown so it may be
fairly seen. But dishorning may be
done at any time later. For young
calves the buds should be taken off
close to the head, and prefer
able by a sharp tool that will cut deep
est in the center. The wound may or
may not be lightly touched with hot
iron, but if SO the iron should be very
hot-that is, approaching white heat.
If the horns are considerably grown, at
the slight enlargement near the head
will be indicated where to saw. In
this case the proper implement is fine
toothed, sharp, frame-back saw. But
we do not advocate dishorning aged
cattle except in the case of tricky or
vicious cattle. Farm, Field and Stock

Value of Vaccination.

Prof. Koch, of Berlin, published re-
Gently some statistics concerning the
mortality from smallpox. He showed
that in the years between 1900 and 1870
from 20 to SO out of every 100000 in
habitants OF Prussia died annually of
smallpox, but that since the introduce
ton Of compulsory vaccination and re-
vaccination. in 1874, the mortality in
that country has decreased to from .07
to SO out of every 100000 inhabitants.
AS the mortality from smallpox has
remained unchanged in Austria, En-
gland and France. liz decrease in Prus-

THE BEAN CROP.
Curing Beans in Stacks or by Laying
Them In Rows.


Them In Rows.
The sooner beans are pulled and
stacked when ripe, the better They
should be threshed as soon as they are
dry enough. Swelling and drying
cracks them. and often turns them
yellow, and spoils the taste. When
the vines are small, and the beans
pretty ripe, they may be pulled and
laid in rows to cure, which they will
do in day or two, if warm sunny
weather; but if the vines are green,
they should be stacked to cure. The
best form of stack is to set poles
about seven feet high into the ground
firmly, and put brush or pieces of
boards on the ground, and then place
the beans on this foundation with the
roots toward the pole, laying tiers
around one above the other with a
slant downward. The stacks should
be tied at the top around the pole,
and a cap of rye straw put over. When
beans are carefully put up in this man
ner, if they are quite green, they will
cure finely, and may be left long
time without much injury.
Every farmer should raise a small
patch of beans for his own table, and
any surplus viii always sell well. 1t
is no use to save crop over the second
year for eating, as they will always
get hard, and can not be cooked soft
and made eatable. They Will do for
seed when a number of years old.
Beans may be planted between the
corn hills, and sometimes do well.
have known of large crops to be raised
in this way. When planted alone they
should be put in drills.
Beans and buckwheat cakes will
keep man from getting hungry longer
than any other food. They make an
excellent diet for hard work and cold
weather. Our fathers who cleared up
the land knew the value of pork and
beans. In several counties in Central
New York beans have been made an
extensive crop, and all the appliances
for their cultivation and harvesting
have been brought to high degree of
perfection. The Gull beans are bought
and used by other farmers for feeding
sheep in winter. Early varieties may
. be planted the first of July, and they
will get ripe if the land is not too rich.
On rich land they will keep on grow
ing until the frost kills them.
Bean straw is good food for sheep.
Very poor land will grow beans. a
pinch of superphosphate will carry a
hill of beans through, or very small
amount of manure. They may be
planted between the rows of the early
potatoes, and they will ripen after the
potatoes do. r. d. Curtis, in Country
Gentleman.
