A Big Steer.

The biggest steer in the Chicago Live Stock Show was owned by Fowler & Van Natta, of Fowler, Ind. He is three quarters Hereford, weighs ?, 565 pounds, and has a girth of nine feet ten inches. The man who takes care of the big beast says that he has made gain of 1.50 pounds per day since his birth on May A, 1882. Aside from his grvat weight and height this steer would attract e'- tention almost everywhere. His hug but symmetrical frame is covered with a beautiful hide, the splashes of white anl brown being thrown together with crazy
 quilt disorder. His great spread :ng horns look Ike long tapering bars of smoked pearl, with a dash of ivory he:e c and there, while his little stout legs are indi ativc Of the enormous strength which the beast possesses. The steer has not yet attained its full growth.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
About Patching and Darnfng,

Not every one is able to neatly lay a patch or darn a rent who may desire to do so; hence we advance a few helpful suggestions: In pl: ching start by cutting a piece of material of a size slightly larger than to completely cover the worn place, Cut it accurately by the thread :; nothing looks more untidy than crook cd patch with unshapely corners,
 Next turn in narrow fold on the four sides of the patch. lay il. in place outside the worn part and tack fast. Sew 1t on all around, either like a scam, or else fell it. If it lies close and flat the tacl1ing threads may then come away.
 Now the work must go on from the wrong side, by first cutting away the worn pie e, leaving enough mar yin to turn in as for hem. Cut little hicks at the corners to allow it to lie uat, and fell it all around. The corners should be as well shaped as are those of the patch To have the piece square on theright side and then an ilt-shared circle of much smaller dimensions oli the wrong side, as one sometimes sees, is to spoil the work so lar as looks go.
 To nearly match the stripes or figure of the garment by tho new material is one-half in doing fine patching. When patch is completed lay an old handker- ch of or other thin cloth over it and press out with hot iron.
 Flannel may be mended in the same way as described, only that instead of the edges being folded in, leave flat, and instead of being felled they should be herring boned all round,
 Sheets and similar articles that arc worn thin by long use, and are tod weak to patch nut be darned. For this, real alarming cotton, not that used for stock. ings. but soft, fine article made for the purpose, should be used.
 When darning take quite half an inch extra qn either side; and not just tho very thin place itself and that only. Ii so done there is danger of the mended part not getting through tho first wash without breaking out. By running several lines of strong sewing cotton round tho thin part before doing the alarming it will strengthen the founda tioh greatly, and will not show after Wards.
 Use long, fine darner for fine fabrics, tn cker one for coarser cloth. Take { thread and miss two threads uniformly going straight across. Leave mod crate loop at the end to allow for shrink ing, turn and go back again, getting your stitches on line with each other

We Appeal to Experience. For a long time we steadily refused to pub fish testimonials, believing that, in the opinion of the public generally, the great majority were manufactured to order by unprincipled parties as means of disposing of their wortk- iess preparations.
 That this view of the case is to certain ex tent true, there can be no doubt.
 At last, several years ago, we came to the conclusion that every intelligent person can readily discriminate between spurious and bona fide testimonials, and determined to use as advertisements few of the many hun. dreds of unsolicited certificates in our posses. sion.
 In doing this, VIC published them as nearly as possible in the exact language used by our cor. respondents, only changing the phraseology, in smaller space than they would otherwise occupy, but without in the least exaggciating or destroying the meaning of the writers; was correct onc-that letter recommend ing an article having true merit finds favor The original of every testimonial published by us is on file in our office, an inspection of which will prove to the most nkeptical that our assertion made above, that only the facts are given as they appear there in, is true. But as it would be very inconvenient, if not impossible, for all of our friends to call on us for that purpose, we invite those who doubt Q1 there be such), to correspond with any of the parties whose names are signed to our test monials. and ask them if we have made any misstatements, so far as their knowledge ex- tends, in this article. In other words, if we have not published their letters as nearly yer batim as possible.
 Very respectfully,
 E. Il. HAZELTINE, Proprietor Piso's Cure for Consumption
 and Pisos Remedy for Catarrh We append a recent letter, which came to us entirely unsolicited, with permission to pub ish it:
 DAYTON, Ohio, Jan. 12, 1SS6. You may add my testimony as to the merit. of Piso's Cure for Consumption. I took severe cold last February, which settled on my lungs. They became Liberated and were So painful that had no rest for two days and nights. I got bottle of Piso's Cure for Con- sumption, and was relieved by the time had taken half of it. Since that time I have kept Piso's Cure in the house, and use it pre- ventive, both for lung troubles and croup, foy which I can recommend it as the best medi- cine ever used; and that is saying great deal, for have used at least twenty, others, besides Piso's Cure for Consumption has never failed to give relief in my family.
