Diabetes Cured.

New Orleans Picayune, Jan. 20, 1884.
Mr.. Matthias Doll, business place No.
a North Peters street, residence Royal
street, between Jeanne and Bartholomew,
New Orleans, has been a most intense
sufferer from kidney trouble (diabetes) for
the last six long and weary years. He
said to us: Even earlier than that fire.
uuentIy suffered from pain in the back,
and frequent making of water, but gave it
no thought until about the time stated,
when the almost constant desire to make
water became uncomfortable. The pain in
the back, and sometimes in the legs, made
me so lame at times that could scarcely
walk. consulted one of the best doctors
in this city, and was under his constant
treatment for one entire year without de-
irving the least benefit. then consulted
from time to time, during the last five or
six years, six other physicians, each one
standing in the front rank of the medical
profession in New Orleans, and though
sometimes was little relieved of some
excruciating suffering, yetupon the whole
I was not only no better, but in many re-
spects much worse. My limbs became so
swollen and sore that could not cross
nv legs when sitting on a chair-all of
which, they said, was caused by diabetes.
I then tried some highly lauded patent
medicine. But they all turned out to be
humbugs. had given up all hopes of
ever getting relief, much less being cured,
when noticed in the papers some won
derlul cures that PERUNA had made in
this city, as prescribed by DIR. Hartman,
giving the name and address of each per-
son treated. called to- see him; he at
once prescribed his PERUNA, which is not
over three weeks. ago. am SO much
better that if would not improve any
more, would not for any amount that l
had not placed myself under his treat
ment. All my pain and lameness is gone.
The swelling and stiffness in my legs has
disappeared, and instead of making water
every fifteen minutes, now make it once
in three hours during the day, and only
twice in a whole night. am, indeed,
quite well again. Don't hesitate, don't
say humbug, but get the PERUNA at once
and take it as its printed label directs, or,
If YOU think this is only an advertisement,
and not strictly true, call and see me and
see for yourself"
Mrs. Huldah RIPPLE, Smethport, Nc
Kean county, Pa, writes: (" DR.. S. B.
HARTMAN, & Co., Columbus, o. have
used your PERUNA and it has done me a
great deal of good. Have recommended it
70 many of my friends, who have since ex-
pressed themselves as wonderfully pleased
with its virtues"

A letter from our esteemed CORE
spondent Of Hawkins county sug-
gests the idea Of work on rainy days.
He says he loses a good IDEAL in the
course of the year in wages during
rainy days. A farmer friend tells
US he really does not have enough
rainy days-he has more work set
aside for those days than be can do.
We propose to tell his plan, with the
hope that it may be of some benefit
to our readers.
He keeps a record, or diary, in
which he sets down such farm work
as can be done on rainy day as
well as on a clear one, and which
can be postponed. Among such he
places cleaning up the stables. He
has q manure shed in which he
throws all manure, without going
out into the rain. He also ovcrhauls
his harness, mending and greasing
it all over, which should be done at
least once every two months. He
shucks and shells corn, keeping n
few barrels on hand all the time, so
that he does not have to stop at in
convenient times for that purpose
Every farmer has experienced the
Inconvenience of Smelling to go to
mill when his cook. calls out npty
meal tub. Then there are jobs of
patching up the barn, fixing latches,
locks, etc. No farmer can afford to
do without a werkship, with all
tools appropriate to it. He can
generally find work in it on rainy
days about his implements, such as
plows, hoes, cradles, etc. Ifhe does
justice to himself he will keep his
wood under shelter, and here is
work in plenty for q a rainy day,
providing wood for house and stove,
all packed up out of rain or moist
ure. Let him keep in mind every
odd job as it comes mp, and decide
if it can be postponed until rainy
day; if so, put it on his list, and he
will not forget it. BY following
these and other suggestions the far
mer will always have plenty of work
for a rainy day.-Spirlt of the
| Farm.

A PHENOMENAL YOUNG INVENTOR.

A Louisvillian Who Bids Fair to Rival
Edison-Ingenious Contrtvances.
A well known figure in the west end is the
young inventor, George Bucket, who lives at
Eighteenth and Market streets. He is about
% years old and an upholsterer by trade.
Mr.. Buckets genius has been directed toward
electrical inventions, and he has succeeded in
creating some marvellous works in that line
What he does not know about electricity Is
not worth bothering about. His inventions,
when patented, will put Edison to shame
One of the most important of his creations Is
q patent cooler This is small IRON contriv-
ance about the size Of a wooden bucket,
which throws out rays of cold just as a stove
radates heat. 1t will freeze water in q room
during summer time, and Will prove a price
less boon to laborers in the hot sun, who can
cool themselves by this instrument.
Another one of Mr.. Buckets inventions is a
patent electric whip. This is so contrived
that the driver, by touching button on his
seat, can form circuit which will shock the
horse and urge him on Still another patent
Is a coffin which will forever preserve q
corpse in life-like state Mr. Bucket has
also improved the telephone that the
listener standing at one end can see tho per-
SON talking to him, and also hear the loudest
yell or smallest whisper as distinctly as if the
speaker were at your elbow.
The latest invention made by Mr.. Bucket is
an electrical apparatus to quiet uncontrol-
able maniacs in asylums Other inventions
are soon promised to the public by this young
man He is at present searching for capital
to back him, and says that he will make the
man millionaire who will properly en-
courage and set them before the world

A Curious Lawsuit,

A curious lawsuit is in progress in small
town in Saxony. A man caught rat, tied a
small bell round its neck and let it go again,
as he had heard that such rat would scare
every other rat out of the house. The plan
succeeded, and his house in few days was
clear OF the plague. A few nights later how
ever, his neighbours family We're nearly fright
ened out of their wits by hearing the mys-
FERROUS sound of a bell in various parts of the
house. They came to the conclusion that the
house haunted, until the servant girl
accidentally heard of their neighbours doings,
who now is to be fined, if he loses the suit,
for creating nuisance.-Chicago Herald.

Sole Survivor of Clusters Command.

The sole survivor of the Custer massacre, a
bugler named Martin, is in the city appi-
cant for a messengership in one of the de-
partments. He is Endorsed by Gen. Sheridan,
and will probably get place in the war de-
partment. Martin said to-day he was with
Custer when he spied the Indian village, and
was sent with order hurrying up Maj.
Reno and Capt. Benteen. To this circum-
stance Martin probably owes his life, as when
he returned the other 265 men of Clusters
command were dead upon the ground II

There was an Indian scout named Curly
who made his escape. Before the battle COM
menced he saw that it would be a massacre,
so he loosened his hair, snatched a piece of
red trimming from his clothes to tie 1t with
tore black blanket in two and wrapped it
around his legs, as if he wore leggings, and
then throwing a blanket over his shoulders
he looked not unlike hostile Sioux. He
dashed into their midst and was not detected,

SPARE THE PRETTY BIRDS.
Brooklyn Girls Pledge Themselves to
Wear No P1umage on Their Hats.

Brooklyn Girls Pledge Themselves to
Wear No P1umage on Their Hats.
The students of the Packer institute, in
Brooklyn, have for a week past been banding
themselves together into a branch Of the
Audubon Bird Protection society, and have
pledged themselves to do their best to stop
the slaughter of birds of handsome plumage
for the decoration of bonnets. Their enthu-
siasm for the cause was due to the appeals of
Professor Walter Stevens, who is member
Of the Audubon society, and Of the teachers
of the institute. The girls were told they
did not need to give up wearing hats they
had already bought, which had bright feathers
for trimming, but that they should refuse to
buy any more of them when the hat was worn
out.
Four days after these appeals were made
100 slips Of printed paper had been handed in
to the teachers, bearing signatures 10 this
pledge:
II pledge myself not to make use OF the
feathers Of any wild bird ornaments OF
dress or household furniture, and by every
means In my power to discourage the use Of
feathers for decorative purposes"
The girls who signed the pledge are hand
ing around among the other girl Of Brooklyn
statistics showing these details Of bird
slaughter:
"A single local taxidermist handles 10000
bird skins in one year; single collector
brought back from a three months trip II :,
600 skins; from one small district on Long
Island about 10000 birds were brought to
New York In four months time. In New
York one firm had on hand Feb 1, 1886, 2OO,-
600 skins. The supply is not limited by do
nestle consumption. American bird skins
are sent abroad The great European mar
kets draw their supplies from all over the
world. In London there were sold in three
months from ono auction room 4O4 464 West
Indian and Brazilian bird skins, and 356, 3S9
East Indian birds. In Paris 100, 900 African
birds have been sold by one dealer in one
year. One New York firm recently had a
contract to supply 10000 skins of American
birds to one Paris firm. These figures tell
their own story-but it is a story which
might be known even without them; we may
read it plainly enough in the silent hedges,
once vocal with the morning songs Of birds,
and in the deserted fields where once bright
plumage flashed in the sunlight New

Cruel Duck Shooters.

About the most cruel thing that has been

A gale was blowing, and bevy of quail,

alghted on the duck shooters boat, too weary
to fly any further. The shooters deliberately
shot ten of the tired little fellows, and the few
that escaped went YEARLY winging their way
