Brigham Y0ung's Progeny.

"Judge Baskin tells me-" says a Washington correspondent, that though Brigham Young left over mill lion, his children are fast going through it. Many of the girls have not turned out we'll, and, in his opinion, none of the children have the ability of their father. I came across a curious fact in connection with Brigham Young the other day, and that is that his children acted in the Salt Lake Theatre when it was first started. The Mormons are not proud of this, and when asked MT. Caine about it one day he evaded an- swering the question"

Household Hints.

Seal the juice left from canning fruits in small bottles and keep for making fruit pudding sauce.
 Strong brine may be used to advan- tage in washing bedsteads. Hot alum water is also good for this purpose.
 If gilt frames, when new, are covered with coat of white varnish, all specks can then be washed off with water with out harm.
 If the wall about the stove has been smoked by the stove, cover the black patches with gum-shellac, and they will not strike through either paint or kalso. mine.
 A tcaspoonful of borax put Tn the last water in which clothes are rinsed will whiten them wonderfully. Pound the borax so it will dissolve easily. This is especially good to remove the yellow that time gives to white garments that hare been laia aYay tuV q thrse 1earA

The Baseball Season.

When summer hangs her jewels rare On every plant and tree, And soft and balmy is the air,
 As happy still is he. The baseball season has come round, And, with joyous shout, He rushes to the baseball ground Each day when school ''lets out" You'll find he can at once recall Each champion players name; He's an authority on all
 The technics of the game. Some early day you'll see his face And eyes with rapture shine When he achieves the honored place Of captain in the nine. First lease of power that he has known Who can describe his joy! The sceptred monarch on his throne Would envy then the boy.

 We have so often seen fatal results follow the declaration that it can be cured, that we have unconsciously settled down in the belief that this disease must necessarily prove fatal.
 It is true that occasionally community has witnessed an isolated case of what may ap- propriately be termed spontaneous recovery, but to what combination of favorable circum- stances this result was due none have hitherto been found able to determine.
 We have now the gratifying fact to announce that the process by which nature effects this wonderful change is no longer mystery to the medical profession, and that the changes brought about in the system under favorable circumstances by intrinsic causes may be made as certainty and more expeditiously by the use of the proper remedy. In other worlds nature is initiated and assisted.
 Tuberculous matter is nothing moro or less than nourishment imperfectly organized. Now, if we can procure the organization of this food material so that through the process of elective affinity it may take its place in the system, we can cure the disease. This is just what Piso's Cure for Consumption does. It arrests at once the progress of the disease by preventing the further supply of tuberculoua matter, for while the system is under its in- fuence all nourishment is organized and as- simulated. It thus controls cough, expectorA- tton, night-sweats, hectic fever, and all other characteristic symptoms of Consumption. Many physicians are now using this medi- cine, and all write that it comes fully up to it's recommendations and makes Consumption one | of the diseases they can readily cure. The forming stage of disease is always the | most suspicious for treatment. This fact should induce persons to resort to the use of Pisos Cure when the cough is first noticed whether 1t ha. | consumptive diathesis for its cause or not for this remedy cures all kinds of coughs with unequalled facility and promptness. In coughs from a simple cold two or three doses of tht medicine have been found sufficient to remove 1 the trouble. So in all diseases of the throa
 and lungs, with symptoms stimulating those of Consumption, Piso's Cure is the only infal lible remedy.
 1 The following letter recommending Piso's | Cure for Consumption, is a. fair sample of the 1 certificates received daily by the proprietor o 1 this medicine:
 ALBION, N. Y., Dec. g, 1885. l I had terrible Cough, and two physicians
 said would never get well. I then went to 6 1 drug store and asked for good cough medicine
 The druggist gave me Piso's Cure, and it ha.
 done me more good than any thing ever used | Ido not believe could live without it. 1 EONnp VEPNIJJ.VEA

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
Preparing Manure.

A barnyard can and should be kept neat. The manure should be stack',d ln the centre, and the droppings in the other parts of the yard should be thrown on this stack at least once a day. The manure stack should be kept lowest in the central part, and if the drainage of the roof be occasionally turned on this all the better. This mass can be loaded more easily into wagons, and will be found of greater bulk and strength than if allowed to scatter over the yard, ex- posed to sun and rains. When the ground is settling so manure can be moved to the fields, fortunate is the provi- dent farmer who has turned his manure pile twice, and now has it fine and re- duced in bulk. It is in condition to be appropriated as plant food, and can be taken to the field with half the labor required had it not been worked over. It can be spread evenly on the wheat or meadow lands, while the crude manure is thrown off in chunks of forkfuls, to smother plants and be nuisance on the meadow or wheat field. There is class of farmers who have mania for making manure. Making manure for the sake o1 the manure is little like paying dollar or two per cord for it and hauling it sev' eral miles to the farm. #

Tho Ideal Potato.

My ideal of perfect DO tato, writes a correspondent of the Rural Ne'o Yorker, is one of medium size, with a clean, white skin (although any kind of color would not be objectionable, provided it possessed all the other qu.alifications), with very shallow or slightly raised eyes
 flesh pure white, cooking dry and foury without any earthly or other decided flavor, unless it should be a peculiar nutty taste, occasionally found in some sorts when grown under favorable con
 ditions. The plant should be stout, but not rank, and the tops should not be too spreading, while the yield of marketable tubers should be large, with very few o
 no small ones. It should be a gooe keeper, retaining it's early good qualit, until late in the season. The tuber
 should grow compactly in the hill, ani be produced at shallow depth, withou any tendency to grow out of the soil Moreover, it should be adapted to wide range of country, retai'aing its size quality, productiveness, etc., nearl. everywhere, on an almost irfinite variet, of soils. Although we have hundreds o varieties, we have as yet no single potat
 with all the above qualifications. Il order to bring about this desired i'm provement there is evidently but on way-to save the fruit of sorts mos nearly approaching the 'id.eal" in ever. particular (cross- breeding or hybridlzing if possible, kinds which together posses all that is desired), and plant the seed from these fruits until the perfect idea potato is obtained,
