BOILS.
A Boys Composition ON the BENEFITS to be

A Boys Composition ON the BENEFITS to be
Derived from Jobs Comforts.
A boil is generally very small at first
and fellow hardly notices it, but in a
few days it gets to be the biggest of the
two, and the chap that has it is of very
little account in comparison with his
boil, which then "has him." Boils ap-
pear mysteriously upon various portions
of the human body, coming when and
where ''they darn please" and often in
very inconvenient places.
If boil comes anywhere on per-
son, that person always wishes it had
come somewhere else. although it
would puzzle him to say Just where.
If chap has boil he generally gets
. good deal of sympathy from others,
''in horn" 1t is very wicked to make
sport of person with boils; they can't
help it, and they often feel very bad
about it.
Boils are said to be "healthy," and
Judging from the way they take hold
and hang on and ache and grow and
burn and raise Cain generally, there is
no doubt about it. They are generally
very lively and playful at night.
Boils tend to purify the blood
strengthen the system, calm the nerves,
restrain profanity, tranquilize the
spirit, improve the temper and beautify
the appearance.
1t is said that boils save the patient
6t of sickness, but If the sickness is
best not to have the ALFRED mean
thing it must be. 1t is also said that q
person is better after he has had them.
and there is no doubt that one feels
much better after having got rid OF
them.
Many distinguished persons have en-
joyed these harbingers of health. Job
took the premium at the county fair for
having more achers under cultivation
than any other farmer. Shakespeare had
them and said: 'One woe doth tread
upon another's heels, so fast they fol.
low"
Treatment: There are great many
remedies for boils, most Of which are
well worth trying, because il they don't
do any good they don't hurt the boil.
Everybody knows "a good thing for
them" Among these remedies are
shoemakers' wax, trix, Spalding's glue,
soothing syrup, Charlotte russo, sedleitz
powders, gum-drops, waterproof black.

Glover for Orchards

J. A. Fetters gave an account Of his
orchard management 10 . meeting Of
the Ohio Horticultural Society. The
orchard has been twenty years in bear
ing, and the trees are as thrifty as ten
years ago. 1t is kept mostly in clover.
occasionally breaking it up and sowing
again to clover. The hogs are kept in
the orchard all the time, but when the
fruit is ripening, they are driven to
closed quarters every night, and in the
morning before turning them out again
the apples are gath which have
fallen. From sixty trees, six hundred
bushels were gathered. 1t is well to
bear in mind that clover would be detri-
mental to the success of the orchard, IL
manufactured into hay and drs wn from
the ground yearly; while with a suffi-
cient number of swine to keep it eaten
down, the clover and swine together
would keep the orchard in fine condi-
ton. On land not naturally rich. an
additional top-dressng with manure
would be important.-C0antry Gentle

A Lewiston business mans wife has
been away on visit to her old home in
another city. He has lived, during her
absence, ostensibly at home, but really
has been living on porterhouse steaks
at the hotel, and had just been elected
president of new whist club. in which
he had a young red-cheekcd girl for .

oUATEMALAN WOMEN.

The Picturssqus Costamss wor. by TIE
Peasant Girls Of spanish Amsrfcs.
The prettiest and most picturesque of
the native costumes To be found in
Spanish America, Is worn by the
women of Guatemala, who are Of .
dark complexion; nearly that Of . mu-
latto type, but are famous for their
beauty Of form. A Guatemala girl in
her native dress makes as pretty pict-
ure as one can find anywhere. Her face
is bright and pretty, her figure as per-
feet as nature unaided by art can be,
and her movements show a supple grace
and elasticity that can not be initiated
by those of her sex who are encumbered
BY modern articles of feminine apparel.
Her head is usually bare, indoors and
out, and her thick black tresses
hang in braids. often reaching
to her heels. Her garments are
only two. "guipil' and "sa-
bana." The first is square piece Of
cotton of coarse texture, covered with
embroidery of brilliant colors and SIM
pie but artistic designs. In the center
Of the "guipil' is an aperture like that
in the ordinary poncho, through which
her head goes, and it is usually wide
enough to constitute when worn a low
neck waist The ends are tucked in her
skirt at the belt Her bare arms come
through the open folds of her "guipil,"
and when she raises them her side Is ex-
posed. Her skirt is a straight piece of
plaid cotton Of brilliant colors, like the
Scotch plaids, and is wound tightly
around her limbs. II is secured at the
waist by sash, usually of scarlet, woven
by her own hands of the fibers of the pita
grass, and executed in the most skillful
manner. These belts in their texture
resemble the Persian camel s-har shawl,
and often cost months of labor. Very
often the name of the owner and some-
times notices are woven into the tex
ture, and they are brought away from
the country as curiosities by travellers.
This costume is worn only by the peas
ants. Every article the Guatemala girl
wears she makes with her own hands,
and the natives Of that country are the
most ingenious and intelligent to be
found in Spanish-America. Tho upper
classes dress just as they would in New
York, and the fashions are followed
quite as closely. of Fabrics.

points huge safety valves are Inserted,
so that when the pressure is greater
than certain number of pounds the
valves are blown open and the gas es-
capes.
To separate the gas from the water
that pours out along with il power
ful tank is placed at the mouth
of the well Confning the gas as
it escapes is called piping off,
. well. The gas and water are to-
getber conducted into the large tank.
The water being heavy falls to the bot
tom of the receiver. The gas rises to
the top, and passes into a pipe. which
conducts it away in any desired direc-
ton. Connected with each well is one
of the iron ''stand pipes" mentioned,
through which the fluid escapes when
not in use. Ii is ignited at the top OF
the tube, so that it may not poison the
atmosphere. The stand pipe must be
some distance away from the derrick
and buildings around the mouth of the
well, otherwise with every gust of wind
it would lap them in flames and destroy
them.
This fuel gas is not good illuminant

pipes are necessary, therefore, Il, houses

mating as well. If this be true, then the
problem will be indeed solved. The
Bunsen burner is used for the fuel gas,
both in private houses and factories.
The white hot heat that can thus be pro.
ducod is something marvellous. A flue
must be provided to carry off the pro-
ducts on combustion, otherwise they
would soon poison the air.
When gas is common for fuel, cooking
will be as neat work as piano playing.
II will be a good deal more fun. AT
least a third of the burden of house,

that has been certainly proved in the
search for it is that geologists are igno.

found exactly where they have staked
their scientific reputation that there was
none. 1t does not particularly follow
the oil fields. 1t has, more often than
otherwise, been struck in regions where
there are clay and limestone layers
above and sand below.
In boring, the bit passes through -four
strata of sand at the West Pennsylva-
MIA wells. There is no sign of diminu
ton in the supply so far. One well has
been dscharging twelve years, and is
as flush as ever. The gas is believed
to be in constant course of formation,

A Now Sort Of Jewel.

The fashiona BILE gem Of the day In
Paris is the oudja. The oudja is simply
q charm, the virtue Of which lies in the
fact that it is as old as the pyramids. The
oadja is made of delicate parallelo-
gram of gold or silver. in which is seen
an eve, elongated in form. from which
falls tear and divides into smaller
drops. 1t serves as an ornament for
charms, brooches, pins and especially
bracelets.
A strange and inexpllcable symbol,
the oudja was nevertheless at once
adopted by people of taste and Gle
gance. In London it is creating furor

made chest of large capacity to re-

was conducted to cook fodder and grain,

feeding he made similar preparations.
His cattle were fed cooked feed through
two winters, and he continued longer to
cook for swine. While he made no

through general observation, was that

CONSUMPTION.

important to the Public % well ~ the
Medical Profession.
Halls Journal Of Health, referring to Con-
sumption, makes the following important
statement:
Consumption usually begins with q
slight, dry cough in the morning, then on
going to bed, getting more and more fre-
quent, with more and mere phlegm, in
creasing debility, thinness Of flesh, short
ness Of breath, and quickness of pulse" "
and it may be added that In des-
perate cases, and, in fact, in all cases
Of Consumption, or troubles of the
throat and lungs, immediate relief may be
obtained and a permanent cure effected by
the use of DIR. VIM. Halls Balsam for the
Lungs, a medicine known for more than
thirty-f five years as an unfailing remedy for
coughs, colds, bronchitis and all pulmonary
and pectoral diseases. That the worst cases
Of Consumption have been cured by the use
OF Halls Balsam has been attested to by
the thousands who have used 1t, or have
been cognizant of its wonderful remedial
efficacy. For sale by all druggists
