B. 3. B. is without doubt one of the most
valuable and popular medicines known to the
medical science and has relieved more suffer
ing humanity than any other medicine since
it came into use. 1t has never failed in sin
gle instance to produce the most favorable re-
suits where it has been properly used. Ply
sicians everywhere recommend it as doing ev-
cry thing that it is claimed to do. The follow
ing certificates are from two prominent physi-
clans. who have done & large and successful
practice for many years and upon whose judg-
ment the public can safely rely:

What Caused TiIden's Death.

Mr.. Tilden's gardner is quite proud
of the fact that he had something to do
with the good mans death. 1t appears
that on Saturday of last week the gov
ernOr walked into the greenhouse with
his gardner. The gardner displayed
his treasures with evident satisfaction,
for one habit of Governor Tilden was
to compliment his men and to notice
each little effort of theirs to please him
by bestOwing upon them kind word.
At last he stood beneath peach tree
which had been placed under the glass
by the gardner. One peach hanging
from the branches attracted Mr.. Til
denis attention.
"That's nice peach" whispered he,
as he reached up to pluck the fruit.
"Oh, Mr.. Tilden," demonstrated the
gardner, for DR.. Simmons instructions
about the sick mans food were we'll
known. But the governor was especi-
ally fond of peaches, and he softly
brushed the down from its fat cheeks
as he stroked it softly in his hand.
"Weigh this for me, will you it's a
large one," said the governor. The
gardner reluctantly took the peach and
weighed it. 1t turned the scale at nine
ounces. The governor took the peach
to the house with him and ate it. This
was, probably, the cause of the diar-
rh1a that caused his death; and yet
there is no probability that there was
any change in the last will and tesla
ment.-[ Howard in Boston Globe.

A Modest Soldier.

A singular instance of sOldierly mod
esty was brought to light recently in
Washington. Almost verybOdy who
has been familiar with the Capitol for
the past six years must have noticed
an elderly man with one arm, who was
dOOrkeeper to one of the ladies' CALLER
les of the house of representatives.
He was notable for his courtesy and
his infallible punctuallity at his hum
BILE post of duty. Few people in Wash
ingtOn knew anything about him ex-
cept that he was faithful doOrkeeper
at 500 per month. Those who saw
his empty sleeve naturally suppOs-
ed that he had lost an arm on one side
or the other of the civil war. He was
a quiet, dignified old gentleman, who
came from his home to the capitol and
returned to his home again when his
work was done. One day last June he
did not appear. A pale woman came
to say that he was very sick and could
not be at the door for day or two.
He was never there again. In week
he was dead from pneumonia. Then
the reporters began to write long
sketches of the dead doOrkeeper. 1t
turned out that he had history. His
name was George j. Stannard. He
volunteered in Vermont as soon as war
was declared. Promotion came to him
rapidly, and at last he rose to the rank
of major general. There never was a
Drawer soldier. He was shot ten times
and had his right arm taken off AT the
shoulder by a shell. At Gettysburg
and Cold Harbor he greatly distin
guished himself. In the army he was
universally loved and honored. Not
one of his associates at the capitol ever
heard him speak of his services, brilli-
ant as they were. He accepted his lot
in life with cheerful resignation, and
fought adversely to the last as bravely
as he ever faced hostile army. He
was a faithful, modest man, who never
dreamed that he was a hero. He left
nothing but one months salary At
lanta Constitution.

A CROWD EASILY DUPED.

Another sad example of the "gulli-
bility" of mankind was afforded on
Merchants Row Saturday evening, in
the exploits of street vender who
picked up about 5000 from crowd in
short time and left number of
worthless watch chains in return.
About eight o'clock a man drove up to
the depot park with a two seated liv
cry turnout, and adjusting his naptha
lamps began the usual harangue ex-
pected from street vendors. He was
accompanied by a demure looking wO-
man Oh the back seat, who pretended
to read n newspaper by the fiaring
light of the torches. A crowd soon
gathered around, and as the glib
tongued speaker entertained them he
opened case and began carefully
wiping some snowy watches with a
chamOis skin. After talking aimlessly
for half an hour he produced some
sleeve buttons, which found ready sale
at 25 to so cents pair. With cOnsid-
cradle display the vender returned
each mans money after delivering the
goods, in several cases doubling the
amount. This unaccustOmed generOs-
ity naturally interested the crowd, and
gave many assurances of the honesty
of the dealers intentions. "But | will
get even with you yet; am not Civ
ing away money tonight" the speaker
shouted mechanically, but unfortunate
ly the crowd did not catch the import
of his words until he was safely out of
their reach. Some cheap, gold wash
ed watch chains were then produced,
and the man promised present to ev-
cry one who bought one of these gaudy
trinkets, paying a dollar apiece for
them. The crowd took this bait with
a rush, and the man could hardly sup
ply his victims with chains. Made
bold by success, the man ventured on
different plan. He offered "gOld
watch and chain" for So, and found nu
merOus purchasers of these. He then
made another venture, all the time
asking purchasers of watch chains to
be sure and keep near the wagon and
get their presents. Taking paper
case he recklessly piled up glittering
watches and chains into it, until the
eyes of the unsOphisticated gamins
around fairly bulged out in astOnish-
ment.
To cap the climax he shut a $40 bill
into the face of one of the watches and
offered the whole for $40. There was
a dash for this article, and the man
who stood nearest and could get $40
bill into the hands of the vender first
captured the booty. "NOw don't open
this" he said to the purchaser, appar-
ntly relenting his generosity. Mean
time the holders of brass chains got
uneasy, undoubtedly because they
were enviOus of the last prize package
purchaser Finding that his articles |
had glutted the market the speaker
rallied watch chain holders around the
carriage, and as they waited in eager
expectation he drew out box of steel
pens from his vest pocket and cOnde-
scendingly presented each of his vic
tins with pen. A general howl arose
but the man was ready for the emerg |
ency, and had his things packed, the
lights went out in twinkling, the
team whirled away, and before the
crowd had recovered from its astOnish-
ment, the sharpers were safely slowed
away in their hotel Rutland Herald.

in the most severe and scathing terms,
Commander Johnson went from Bur-
lington to the naval academy at An
napolis, where he graduated with high
honors. His home has been in that
city since, where his wife and family
reside. When off duty he has spent
much of his time at Burlington, and
this action of the court martial will
bring sorrow to his many friends and
acquaiDtances. He has been an ex-
cellent officer of ability and undoubt-
ed loyalty, and has an enviable record.
But, unfortunately, he became addict
ed to habits of intemperance to which
all of his troubles are to be traced.
The charges made against him were
chiefly for ungentlemanly conduct at
his home. He can easily build up
again by renouncing his cups, which
his many friends indulge the hope he
will do. There is no man too strong
to be overthrow by strong drink, and
the fate of Commander johnson proves
the truth of the statement. Young
man, know your great enemy and give
it a wide berth.-[St. Adams Messen-
ger.

Rice Thowing at Weddings.

Those who assist at a wedding cere-
mOny may usually be excused if they
forget that, even at such Il time, there
are bounds to merriment; but the
sport may sometimes be too serious
for excuse, as in an instance lately re-
ported. A bridal couple were leaving
the church of st. James the Less, Beth
nal Green, and, according to custom,
were greeted with liberal shower of
rice. The bride, fortunately, found
her veil a sufficient protection, but the
bridegroOm's eyes have suffered SO Sc
verely that he is now under treatment
in a hospital ward. The practice of
pelting with rice, we are given to I'M
derstand, is even more prevalent at
st. James than elsewhere, from the
frequency of marriages among the poor
of the parish and it is said that the
accident above described is no singu-
lar example. Without at all wishing
to mar the good humOr of such Occa-
siOns, we would point to the obvious
moral of this occurrence. We should
like to know who and by whom this
rice at weddings was introduced. 1t
seems to us, and has doubtless often
before this appeared to others, to be a
singularly incOnvenientand uncomfOrt
able means of practical raillery. Per-
haps economy has found other uses for
the old slippers which followed the re-
treating steps of our parents and
grandparents. Perhaps, also, careless
hand might do some damage even with
these time-hOnOred symbols. Anyhow,
it must be owned that the rice-throw-
ing custom is more than a harmless
pastime. Inflammation induced in an
eye by such an accident might easily
lead to grave mischief before it could
be checked, might result in permanent

MIR. Finch Lost His supper.

Mr.. Finch had an interesting, if not
instructive experience while in Bur-
lingtoD. The story is too good to keep.
One of the shrewdest political OBJ
servers and keenest newspaper writers
in the cOuntry-a Mr.. l., connect
ed with the New York Tribune-is
now travelling from state to state,
working up, in quiet way, the Blaine
boom for 1888. Vermont is one of his
bases of operation /; and his business in
this state, it is understood, is to Coop
crate with certain democrats for the
purpose of killing off Senator Edmunds'
presidential chances. Mr.. Lis an
acquaintance of Finch's; and know
ing that the latter gentleman was ex-
pected in this city the evening before
the prohibition convention was to meet
he set democratic ward politician to
watch the hotel registers and catch
him as soon as he should arrive. Mr..
Finch had scarcely reached his room
after registering, and had not had time
to brush off the dust of travel, when a
note was placed in his hands which re-
quested him to come Immediately to a
certain house for an interview. 1t was
8 o'clock in the evening, and Mr.. Finch
had not yet had his supper; but, sup
posing that the case was an urgent
one, and that he would not be detain-
ed long, he went with the messenger
after few minutes preparation, and
was ushered into the presence of Mr.. |
L. That talented gentleman pro-
ceeded to unfold the object of his visit
to Vermont, giving the prohibition
chairman plainly to understand that
he was there to elk" things with the
democrats for Blaine and against Ed
munds. What he wanted of Mr.. Finch
was for him to use his influence at the
convention and prevent sep
arate nominations. He was willing
that the prOhibitiOnists should adopt
The strongest kind of resolutions, but
anxious that they should not nominate.
Mr.. l. talked so interestingly that
Mr.. Finch did not reach his hotel until
Ii o'clock, and had to retire with an
empty stomach. This was the only
lire consequence wrought in the re-
yions OfprOhibition party vitals. 1.-THE

SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION,

Washington, ID. c., July 81, 1886.
Madam:-Y letter of July % was
duly referred to the acting curator of
entomology in the national museum,
who reports in reply to your inquiry
as follows
"The term buffalo moth is applied
to the larva of a common beetle, an
threnus ScrOphulau@, Il species imported
from Europe not many years since.
The beetle deposits its eggs under the
edge of the carpet, and from these eggs
of the larva, commonly knows as 'buf
falO moths The remedy, where the
insects have attacked the carpets, is to
put a thoroughly wet cloth over. the
infested spots, and with a very hot
iron press over this, so as to drive the
steam through the carpet. Thi S kills
all the larvae and eggs. Preventive
measures are strips of tar paper under
the edges of the carpets, or paper soak
ed in tallow. The carpets should be
thoroughly swept at least once a week,
taking care to reach the edges and cor
ners. Very respectfully,

Why Shoe Horses!

An advocate of non shOeing makes
some good points in the following in
the n. Y. Tribune: Horses feet are
first what nature made them and next
what man makes them. A little fell
low passed to mill last fall with bag
of corn to grind. He was barefoot,
and the roads were dry and hard. |
asked him if his feet were not sore,
and he said "NO," and showed me how
the sole was callOused and appeared
quite proud of his "callouses." "Paw
don't need to buy me any shoes now,
but when | go to school next summer
he is going to get me some shoes. |
don't like shoes; they make my feet
sore. | can walk over briers and run
over rocks, and it don't hurt me Bit"
Now, this young mOuntaineer was just
like his fathers mule colts in regard to
his feet. Nature provided for its own
needs and the feet were protected
against the wear by hard, horny
growth, just as my own hands are
where the pillow handles and AK wear
them, and when l wear gloves to do
the work my hands are blistered. How
many diseases are produced by shoe
ling! Consult any good veterinary
work and refer to navicular diseases !;
amOng the causes are bad shooting and
cutting the frog, SPAWN, strains from
shoe calks, sprains of the back tendOns,
cOrns, quarter cuts from caulks, and so
with seedy toe, laminitis, thrush, and
every other disease of the foot and
most of those of the limbs, and injuries
from falls and kicks of other horses
all are owing to the shoes. An unshod
horse can walk on ice; the frog like a
rubber shoe prevents slipping. A shOd
horse costs his owner his full value ev-
cry five years for shooting, and is made
30 per cent. less useful for it. If oxen
can work right along without being
shod, why cannot horses

Watering Plants.

Watering must be done judicio usly
or it will result in harm rather than
good. Water should be at least as
warm as the air, and if slightly warmer
all the better. 1t ought to be applied
in the evening, and if there is not much
around the plant scrape away some
loose soil and replace after watering.
Another good way is to make deep
holes near the plant with a crowbar
and fill these with warmish water, let
ting it soak into the adjoining soil be-
fore refilling the holes. If dry earth is
spread over the wet soil it will be
mOistened before morning, as the water
will rise by capillary attraction.
