COLD BATHING.

The use of cold water as a bath for or

pose of reducing the temperature OF the
body in certain states of disease-is pure

bath by the weakly o. unSound More

there is seldom too much energy to spare

cold bathing. We would 60 SO far as to
say that no one above that age should use
the tub quite cold unless under medical

robust and for all the average purposes
of life, healthy, and yet to have such dis

heroic measures, even in the matter of cold

AHANDs0ME A TOILET.

1t is one thing to make dress ones whole
aim in life and another to be daintily and
neatly attired, and the woman who is SO
indifferent as not to desire the latter is
scarcely womanly. Avoid being in the ex-
treme OF the fashion, as extremes are never
popular long, and when once cut offashion
are always ridiculous. Always buy good
article. You will have more satisfaction
from one handsome toilet than you will
from the same sum expended ON two or
three cheap suits. s.-Atlaata Constitution

Gratifying evidence of the advancement
of woman in England appears in the state
ment that of about 1000 students from the
Liverpool region examined in science and
art at South Kensington, more than 200

magnetism and electricity, twelve in inor-

up six weeks in hot port. When deliver
ed it was SO much damaged that after re-
moving the handsome marble teps the

FIRE and the furniture was burned. On his
return home, after hearing Of the loss of
his furniture, he found that one Of the work
men had let something fall on one Of the
marble slabs and broken it, He Thought
that he would finish the business, SO he
got sledge-hammer and smashed the

attributed to catarrh. Do not bore

Bee Notes for July.

Wherever the Eastwood, or Ameri-
can linden tree (Tiia Americana), is
abundant, the choicest honey OF the
season will be collected. Not only
does this tree produce honey in great
abundance, but it's quality is regarded
by many as equal, if not superior to
that yielded by white clover. As the
Eastwood is fine shade tree, bee
keepers should encourage planting it
in their vicinity. 1t is much better
suited to our climate than the
European linden, often used as a
street tree in villages. When the
yield of Eastwood honey is abundant,
it is well to empty the combs Of other
honey in order that this superior prod
uct may be kept separate. To be
able to do this is one of the ad-
vantages of the honey extractor.
Those who have not learned the
merits Of the extractor are behind the
times. This, however, would be of no
use, unless that greatest improvement
In modern Bookkeeping, the movable
comb hive, has been already adopted.
With movable combs, and the ex-
tractor, the bee has its usefulne g, as
q collector of honey, greatly increased,
and the bee keeper who has not adopt
ed them will find his profits CORE
spondingly deficient. The worm or
larva of the bee moth should not be
overlooked; the moth lays her eggs
every month in warm weather.
Strong colonies suffer but little, but
weak and strong should be examined
for the enemy, and the only remedy
killing-applied. Perhaps the best
plan to diminish the numbers of the
worms is to destroy the parent moth.
A mixture OF molasses, vinegar and
water is very attractive to the moths,
and If saucers containing this are set
near the hives toward night, in the
morning numbers will be found capt
ured-victims to their appetite for
drink of this kind. Italians defend
themselves from the moth much
better than the black bees. Cap
ping of cells removed in ex-
tracing, and all odds and ends
of comb that accumulate in the op-
erations OF the apiary should be con-
verted into wax. There are machines
for effecting this, but a ready way is
to place the wax on q cotton cloth,
with a clean stone heavy enough to
sink the whole; tie up the cloth to
form tight bag, and boil the whole in
a large kettle of water. The wax as it
is melted, will ooze through the cloth,
float to the surface, and is then
skinned off.-American Agricu7turist.

A Crushed Journalist.
From a New York Letter.

IrTOm d new 1OEk LeUISr.l
Once during the career OF young De
Nyse he was made managing editor OF
the Telegram, and he was informed by
Mr.. Bennett that the editorials for
the paper would be furnished from
day to day by Mr.. Levein, who occu-
pied q position on the Herald staff.
These editorials used to come in writ
ten in q number of different hands,
and marked "must" by Levein. De
Nyse became dissatisfied with them
and imagined that they were hurting
the paper very much. So one day he
called on the proprietor. Said he:
''Mr. Bennett, you have made me
managing editor of the Telegram, and
[ am trying my best to push the pa
per to success. But this man Levein
IS hampering me very much.''
chow SO ?" questioned Mr.. Bennett,
looking up with some surprise.
''Well, don't want to interfere with
any man who Is earning his bread and
butter, but, at the same time, Levein
sends in a lot of editorials every day
that are not written by himself, and !
suppose he is getting his friends to do
the work for him. | shouldn't object
to that If the editorials were good,
but they are simply Internally bad.
There is one man IN particular who
turns in about the worst rot I ever
saw in a newspaper. I haven't the
faintest notion who he is, but the
stuff he sends through Levein is
laughed at all over the Office, and is
SO trivial that it just about destroys
the effect of any work do in the news
department. Here is some of the
manuscript"
Mr.. Bennett took up slip of paper
and looked at it for moment. Then
he said: $50 you don't think this
writer ought to be allowed to put his

"Quite possible, said Mr.. Bennett

gasp. His hair fairly stood on end
He started to make some sort Of ar
explanation, but Bennett cut hin
short.

prietor of the Herald; "none of that

Mr.. De Nyse returned to his post
considerably saddened, but he never
had any further editorials from MIR

Glover Sick-Land.

Sir John Lawes ascribes what is
called "clover- sickness to the plant
not having accumulated a sufficient
store of food in it's roots during the
first year of it's growth. This, he ex-
plains, may happen from a variety
of causes-such as the roots of previ-
Gus crops taking some years to decay,
and the want of sufficient alkaline
salts in the subsoils. He lays particu-
lar stress on the fact that all our
agricultural operations tend to &C.
cumulate the food of plants close to
the surface of the soil, while it is only
such soluble salts as chlorides and
nitrates of soda and lime which pass
quickly into the subsoil and are car
ried away in the drainage water. He
also points out the fact that q deep
roofing plant like clover, feeding on
lime, has little chance against a. creep
ing plant like coach grass, which feeds
on silica, g. far more abundant prod
uct in most soils. 1t is to be remem-
bered, however, that there are many
forms of GLOVER Sickness" and prob
ably as many different causes. One
form of it is due to a fungus, and
"clo7er fungus" is more common than
is generally supposed. Some German
observers hold that clover sickness is
due to parasites in the soil, but they
have adduced no positive evidence of
this. AS, however, "beet sickness"
has, in certain instances been traced
to parasites in the soil, it is quite
within the range OF possibility that

MIST KEN.

The play was done, and toward the stage
impatient to be gone,
The pleasure lovers turned their backs,
With many,a smothered yawn.
The hour was late, and each man strove
To make his exit through
The crowded door, with tooth and nail,
AS well-bred people do.
And one-a husbanG-as he pushed,
Was aided in the strife
BY her whom he had sometime made
His lawful, welded wife,
Whose zeal-a woman's zea1!-Outran
Her reason as she wrought,
Who lost her husband in the crowd,
Nor found him when she sought.
But he-all painting from the fray
ESpied a slender FORM
Arrayed III robes whose cost he knew
He seized her by the arm;
And being somewhat worsted in
The competition past,
With angry words he greeted her,
And gripped her hard and fast.
She answered not as some might do,
But with a timid grace
She lifted toward his Redeemed phiz
A sweet, reproachful face
A face that made his conscience sting
His manhood like a knife.

HornIess Cattle.

Hornless cattle are coming into
favor in the great ranges of the West,
where what is a worthless appendage
is terribly in the way when cattle have
to be packed into railroad cars for
transportation. The short horns of
the Durhams. the trim horns of the
Devons, the longer horns of the Here
lords, and the strong, tapering horns
OF the Texas natives are all doomed
by the modern cattle tanciers.
Some even go so far as to claim that
the coming breed of cattle for America
will first be hornless, and then COM
bine as many OF the traits OF excellence
common to the several English and
Scotch breeds as is possible for nature
and skllful breeding to combine in one
animal of the bovine species. Such an

Lock-

Moisture, In the form of vapor-
bath, is an excellent remedy for
tetanus, or lockiaw. The immobility
of the Jaw is only this culminative
symptom of a complaint which might
be defined as a rigor of the upper mo-
tor muscles. The affection begins with
q peculiar stiffness in the back part of
the neck, rendering every sideward
motion of the head painful or even i'm
possible; before long the cramplike SEN
sation extends to the spine; the pa
tient feels impelled to bend forward to
relieve the strain on the shoulder
muscles; headache and a feeling or
general numbness beget g. disposition
to sleep, and on awakening from g. fit
full nap the teeth feel Set as firmly as
those of powerful steel trap. The
patient leans his head on his clutched
fist, while spasms of the neck-muscles
often beget g. sensation as if the hinges
of the jawbones were mechanically
riveted, and could be moved Only by
a breaking force, if not by miracle.
Yet a steam bath, or even g. wetpack
Ia sheets drenched with warm water, is
generally sufficient to accomplish that
miracle. The combined influence of
warmth and moisture seems to relax
the rigor of the muscles; first the spine,
and by and by the neck and jaws, feel the
relief, and by continual friction the dan
ger of q relapse can be obviated for a
quarter of an hour, after which the
abnormal symptoms will be reduced
to a lingering numbness, as after a
stunning fall.
