ONLY A TRAMP.

There was great deal OF mysterious talk
and grave anNieties over passenger who
arrived over the Charleston railroad yester-
day morning. The party got aboard at Ross
vile, had no health certificate, aud drew
attention by remarking that he had walked
all the way from Grand Junction to take
the train at that point, Passengers aboard
the train remembered that a few days ago
some parties were put oifnearGrand Junction
by quarantine officers because their replies
To questions were unsatisfactory. They re-
membered this occurrence, and instantly
suspected that the mysterious passenger was
one of this number. The conductor, quar-
antine officer and County Register n. +. lIar-
rison saw that the man did not escape, and
when the train pulled up at the depot in
this city he was turned over TO the police.
Taken before the health authorities, the man
proved 10 be only a harmless type of the
tramp, gave undoubted proof that he had
not been within several hundred miles of
case of fever, and was released.
But the public will commend those who
were interested enough TO see that the tramp
was not impregnated with yellow fever
germs.

NEURALGIA.

A very simple relief for neuralgia is
to boil a handful of lobelia in half a
pint of water, till the strength is out
of the herb, then strain off and add a
teaspoonful Of fine salt. Wiring cloths
out of the liquid as hot as.possible, and
spread them owe the part affected. 1t
acts like a charm. Change the clothes
as soon as cold, till the pain is all gone;
then cover the place with soft, dry
covering till perspiration is over, so as
to prevent taking cold.
Take two large tablespoonfuls Of
cologne and two teaspoonfuls of fine
salt; mix them together in a small bot
tie; every time you have any acute
affection of the facial nerves, or neu-
ra1gia, simply breathe the fumes into
your nose from the bottle, and you will
be Immediately relieved.
Prepare h~orse-radish by grating and
mixing with vinegar, the same as for
the table, and apply to the temple
when the face or head is affected, or
to the wrist when the pain is in the
arm or shoulder. .,.

Budding A SILO.

Experiments at the Massachusetts,
Agricultural College, in building silos,
show that the principal involved in
building ice-houses may be applied to
silos. 1t is shown that a hollow frame
of scantling, of suitable size, covered
on the outside with matched boards,
and lined on the inside with two thick
nesses of one inch matched boards,
with a layer Of tarred paper between
them, thus securing a partially air
tight enclosure, surrounded by a head
space as a protection against frost, is
the best and cheapest form of construc-
ton, and that if the boards and timbers
are saturated with hot coal tar, the
duration of the silo will be very much
increased. One great objection to the
building Of silos heretofore has been
their cost. The idea is worth elabora-
ton and those who have ensilage to
put in this fall may still have time to
erect this cheap building.-FaJm Field

TEACH THE GIRLS TO BE
USEFUL,

Give your girls a thorough educa-
ton, Teach them to wash, to iron and
darn stockings; to sew on buttons and
to make bread. Teach them that a
well-managed kitchen lessons the doc
tors account. Teach them that he
only can lay up money whose expen-
ses are less than his income, and that
all grow poor who have to spend more
money than they receive. Teach them
that a calico dress paid for fits better
than a silk one not paid for Teach
them that a full healthy face displays
a greater luster than fifty cosmetic
beauties. Teach them that an honest
farmer or mechonic in his working
dress is a better object of esteem than
a dozen naughty, finely dressed idlers.
Teach them that the happiness of mat
rimony depends neither on external
appearances nor on wealth, but on the
mans character. Teach them that
good common sense, self-help and in
dustry bring success.-F. H. P, in
Farm and Home.

HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS.

Use a pallet knife to scrape pots and
kettles.
Sweep and dust once a week the rooms
which do not daily receive this attention.
For intense itching, battle in salt water,
dry with a coarse towel and rub with
sweet oil.
Salt plentifully sprinkled on the icy
doorstep will have a better and cleaner
effect than ashes.
A mass of cobweb pinched up in a wad
and pressed to a fresh cut will stop the
flow of blood instantly.
Remove fruit stains from white goods
by pouring boiling water directly from
the kettle over the stains.
Keep your bread pans and pie dishes
free from i'll flavor by always washing
them in hot water after using.
To have poached eggs look very nice,
cook each egg in a muffin ring placed in
the bottom of a saucepan of boiling water.
Dissolve a box Of p~earline in two quarts
Of hot water. Let it remain over night
undlsturbed, and you will have a splendid
soft soap.
To make a corset feel comfortably, lace
up to fit the form neatly, then sew five or
six straps Of gum ribbon across and re-
the strings.
After buttering the tin for a boiled pud-
ding, dust it with pounded bread crumbs;
baking pans can We treated with flour in
the same way @ud the cake Will never
stick.
When fine f,rihers have been strewn
over the floor dtnpen the carpet slightly;
you can then Get the feathers together
with light sweeping and taken the up in
a Wad.
The gloss that the Chinese laundrymen
give to collars and cuffs is not altogether
due to the starch, but to heavy pressure,
the articles passing through heavy rollers
tightly adj usted, and very hot.
To preserve eggs for Winter use you
will require one pint of fresh slaked lime,
and one-half pint common salt, to three
gallons Of water. Use a ladle with which
to put them into the crock, cover with an
old plate and keep in a dry place.
In cases of freezing rub the body with
snow, ice or cold water. Get up all the
friction you can with these articles. After
a while let heat be applied in the most
gentle manner. If animation does not
return, try artificial respiration, as in cases
of drowning. Heat first applied is GER
tain death.
Ink spots may be removed from pepper
in the following manner Take a thick
blotting-paper, steep it several times in a
solution of oXalic acid or oxalate of pot
assium, and then dry it. While the spot
is moist apply the blotter which has been
prepared in this fashion to it, and the ink
will be entirely removed.-4merican

NEW AND SELECTED RECIPES,

CAND1ED FRUIrs.-Boil peaches,
plums, pears, aprlcots, cherries. or
almots any fruit dressed, in a thick
syrup made with a teacupful of water
to a pound of sugar, until tender. Let
them remain two days in the syrup;
then take them out, drain them, and
sprinkle sugar yer each piece separ-
ately. Dry them in the sun or in an
over not too warm.
PRUNE PUDDING.-A delicious prune
pudding is made by stewing a pound
of prunes till they are soft, remove the
stones, add sugar to your taste, and
whites Of three eggs beaten to a stiff
froth. Make a puff paste for the bot
tom of a pudding dish. After beating
the eggs and prunes together till they
are thoroughly mixed, spread them on
the crust. Bake for half an hour, or
until you are sure the crust is done.

season of the year when it can best be
done, and when such attention secures
the best results. Poultry should be
provided with a warm house that has
an exposure to the sun during the day,
SO that on cold days they may enjoy
the luxury Of it's rays. 1t should have
a dry floor, over which, and especially
under the perches, should be spread
dry sand or sawdust, in which they
can scratch and so get exercise. Elk
ercise is very essential to health, and
to the production of eggs; and SO some
scatter leaves so that hens are com
PEELED to scratch for their food. In
the winter, when hens are confined al
most wholly to the house, the food
should possess as much variety as is
possible, as this tends to the best pro-
duction of eggs.
1t is an indisputable assertion that if
there is a profit coming from the care
Of hens it must be largely made up in
winter, and hence if the feed is given
in variety, chopped apples, cabbage,
turnips, ETC., with scraps Of meat and
grains Of various kinds supplemented
with skinned milk warmed for their
use and broken shells to assist diges
ton and form the shell of the eggs,
satisfactory results will follow.
An occasional feed of scalded meal,
sailed a little, with a good sprinkling
Of pepper or mustard, will produce
good results. Or let corn be set over
the fire to boil awhile in water in which
a pepper pod has been placed, and the
effect will be felt in egg production

PROFIT IN POULTRY.

It is no uncommon thing to hear the
remark: "There's no profit in poul-
try" but that should be taken with
great allowance, The various condi-
lions that assist in any such conclusion
may be such as would be very likely
to cause failure in any other branch Of
farming operations,
In the first place in order to secure
success in poultry raising, there must
be the same degree of attention and
care that would be given to stock-rais-
ing or the growing Of crops, with this
very distinct and important difference,
that the best attention be paid at the

DAIRY MANUFACTURES IN THE
ORIENT.

u Butter and cheese are frequently
mentioned in the Bible, and the Arabs
and Syrians probably followed the old
Hebrew style of dairy manufactures.
The milk for butter making is put into
a copper pan, placed over a slow fire,
adding a small quantity Of sour milk,
or the dried entrail of a lamb. After
the milk is warmed through, and be-
gins to curdle, it is poured into a goat
skin bag, which is then tied to n of
the tent poles, and kept constantly in
motion for two hours. The, butter
then separates from the fluid part and
is placed by itself in another skin. In
two days after it is again put into a
pan, and subjected to the action of q
slow fire, with the addition of bourg' ii
wheat boiled with leaven and dried in
the sun), and allowed to boil for some
time, during which it is carefully
skinned. The bourgoul precipitates
all the cheesy matter, and the butter
then remains quite clear above. This
butter is Of a white color, and posses
ses a flavor not at all relished by
Americans or Europeans, or, indeed,
by any one accustomed to the use of
butter made from cows milk churned
in the usual way.
The cheese now made in Palestine is
a very inferior article. The milk is
curdled either by sour buttermilk, or
a decoctien of the great-headed thistle,
u,;Id ar+iehola The curd IL the
put into small baskets and pressed. 1t
is excessively sailed; and when the
cheese is made it appears in the form
of small, round, white cakes, without
rind, which soon become hard and dry
throughout. At some of the Connect
icut diaries excellent limitations are
made of Brie, Neuchatel and other
Swiss cheeses, but l have never seen
any imitation of the hard, rancid, bad
tasting cheese Of Palestine.-Amerlcan

GLASS.

"Whats that p
"Glass."
"Well, what is glass 2"
"It's glass"
$50 it is, but what are the ingredi-
ents? Pudding is pudding, but it has
to be made first"
"Don't know"
"Have you a dictionary in the
house ?"
Eyes, two of EN-"
We'll, you take down Webster
and turn to page SO, and you will
read "A hard, brittle, transparent
substance, formed by fusing sand with
fixed alkalies' Now you've got a
start, and we'll post up a bit on glass;
Glass is moulded, blown and rolled.
The big sheet Of plate glass you see in
the store windows are mostly of Eng
fish and French make. We have just
as good machinery and workmen in
this country, but it would seem that
the materials are not as good, for
American plate glass takes second
rank. The sheets r rolled OF hot
iron beds. with red-hot rollers, and it
is a tidy bit of work to turn out the
big panes free from flaws. It is said
that there are only two localities in
America where sand for the manufac-
ture Of the best glass a be had, and
there are several counties in Europe
without a grain.
1t isn't SO many hundred years ago
that the houses of kings and emperors
were without a pane Of glass, and long
enough after the substance was known
glass was made only for the nobility.
In building houses eve fifty years
ago, glass was looked upon as one Of
the big items Of expense, and for this
reason the sashes were fashioned to re-
ceive small panes. Up to 1860 a store
window which had a pane 36x40 was
looked upon as a mammoth concern,
and the glass was only common at
that. Nowadays panes six feet by
ten, and half an inch thick, are plenty
enough.
Blue. red and other colored glass
r simply the plain glass covered with
a preparation and submitted to a bak-
ing until the color sets fast.
All the hand-work on stained glass,
such as flowers, birds and borders, is
put on with the brush, and the glass is
then baked like the other. Just what
the preparations are the glass men will
not tell you, each manufacture seeming
to have some secret which he does not
want another to discover.
Efforts have been made for a good
many years past to render glass MALE
able in order that it might replace
iron, tin and earthenware to a great
extent. If this discovery could be
made it would be good-by to the tin
stores. All u pans, basins, pals,
kettles, spiders, pie tins and so on
would be of glass, able to stand any
heat and warranted not to break when
flung across the house.-M. Quad, IN

brush, and put on to boil with plenty Of
cold water. Allow a quarter of an hour
to each pound of cooking, and do not boil
too fast. Do not remove the skin until
cold; it will come off easily and ~cleanly
then, and the juices are better preserved
than when it is stripped hot. Cut very
thin when arriving.

An Explanation.

What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be af-
hicted? If you will remember a few
years ago the word Malaria was CON-
paratively unknown,-to-day it is as
common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only
the meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in times past. So it
is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what
our grandfathers called Billiousness,
and all are caused by troubles that
arise from a diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing its func-
tions finding it cannot dispose of the
bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You
who are suffering can well appreciate
a cure. We recommend Green's Au-
gust Flower. Its cures are mar
yelous.

To the Session of the First Pres6y-
teriG1l Church of astoria, oregon i:
GENTLEMEN:-By request of the
meeting of the members and congre-
cation of our church, called on Tues
day. July 10, 1893, to consider the
resignation of our dearly beloved pas
tor, Rev. E. w. Garner, we hereby re-
port the unanimous feeling of the
meeting to be that we fully appreci-
ate his earnest, able and loving labors
among us, and feel that this bond
which unites him to us as pastor and
people, can never wholly be broken
while he lives. That we deeply de-
plore the irreparable loss We should
sustain in the seyering of our
relations with him as pastor, teacher
and friend, and anxiously hoping, if
possible, to retain him after a much
needed rest, we suggest vacation of
three months, to begin Immediately,
with the regular salary continued.
The foregoing communication was
submitted to DR.. Garner by the ses-
sion last evening, to which he
replied in affectionate terms
but stated that it was with
great reluctance. and even pain,
that he felt himself obliged, on ac-
count OF impaired health, to adhere
to his former resolution.
