Sudden Hospitality.

y couple OF tramps stopped at a farm
house in West Tennessee. You can
come in and drink all the water YOU
want, y said the farmer, "but you neen-
ter ask for anything to eat, for you
won't get IT.
The tTampS looked at a table that
had Just been set for dinner and sighed.
'N GU neenter sigh said the farm
er, "fur you don't git a bite of that
grub. Wy We've got 'pOssum, don't
you see; sweet potatoes. billed ham,
curly mustard greens and three kinds
of bread. l wouldn't twit YOU fellers.
but the last tramp that come along here
stole the only good set ofharness on the
place"
Don't put yourself TO any uneasi-
ness on our account replied one of the
tramps, ''for we amt hungry"
Not huugry!" the farmer exclaIm-
ed.
NO; all we want is 4 place to sit
down in the shade"
"Wau, this is the first time l ever
heered of trampS not being hungry
Its sorter rare with US, L can tell
you. I'm sOrter feverish, myself.
Don't exactly understand it, for never
was this way before. Oh, l have had
slight bilious attacks, but 1 never had
such pains in the back of my neck be-
fore. just before leaving Jackson
ville-n
y sudden scutllinS in the room caus-
ed the tramp to break off his narration.
The skirts of the farmers wife Tapped
against the gate, and an old man lost
his hat as he leaped into the road. The
two trampS moved their chairs up to
the table.
The hospitality of this neighbor-
hood one of them remarked, ''has
found place in romance and verse"
Yes, the other one replied, ''and
the peculiar charm about it is its ey
treme suddenneSS.' -

THE Chinese minister at leading
European court was condoling with an
eminent Englishman because his wife
had gone TO England for the education
of their children "I on must be very
lonely" said he, "but, Of course, you
have another wife?" 'Ah, no; that
would be quite out of the question, -
said the Englishman. my religion
and the law of my country both forbid
it. My wife would be in rage If L
took a second one, and my government
would punish me severely" The Chi

presently said, ou Europeans have
so much intercourse with the Chinese
that we may hope you will soon become
sufficiently civilized to act as we do"

Dream OF Fair Women,

Tennyson in his exquisite poem, dreams
OF long procession of lovely women OF
ages past. This is all very well, but the
laureate would have done the world a
greater service if he had only told the
women of the present how they could i'm
prove their health and enhance their
charms. This he might easily have done by
recommending the use of DIR. Pierce's Fa-
yorite Prescription. Health is the best
friend of beauty, and the innumerable ills
TO which women are peculiarly subject, its
worst enemies. Long experience has proven
that the health of womankiud and the "Fa-
vorite Prescription" walk hand In hand,
and are inseparable. 1t is the only medicine
for women. sold by druggists under a posi-
tire guarantee from the manufacturers, that
1t Will give satisfaction in every case, or
money Will be refunded. This guarantee
has been printed on the bottle-wrapDer,a and
faithfully carried out for many years.

Il cure for the Morphine HaJu.-As
cure for the morphine habit
haczorowski (HedycyaG, 1887, Nos. %
and 26) recommends the following.
After the sudden withdrawal of NOR
phine, opium is to be administered:
Tinct opil, twenty parts; tInct, lodi two
parts; twenty drops to be taken every
two hours, day and night. The opiate par
tally takes the place of the withdrawn
morphine, and the iodine, as an anti
fermeat, maintains the appetite ard
makes possible normal and inefficient
digestion; vomiting and dIarrhea are
rare; the symptoms of deprivation are
mild and harmless. The dose is grad
ually reduced to nothing, and the cure
Is soon complete.

scribes how, by planting at proper dis

not one-fourth as much work with the

THE SAVAGE WAY.
How the Indian Treats an Injury
Old Time Methods.

The savage is emphatically the child
of nature. He lives close to nature,
his only education is gained In natures
school.
When the Indian receives an injury,
he does not seek a cure IN mineral
Loisons, but binds OH the simple leaf,
administers the herbal tea, and,
with natures aid, comes natural
recovery.
Our rugged ancestors, who pierced
the wilderness, built their uncouth but
comfortable Log Cabins and started the
clearings in the woods, which in time
became the broad, fertile fields of the
modern farmer, found IN roots and
herbs that lay close at hand natures
potent remedies for all their COM
mon ailments. 1t was only in very
serious cases they sent for old saddle
bags" with his physlc, which quite as
often killed as cured.
Latter day society has wandered too
far away from nature, in every way,
for its own good. Our grandfathers
and grandmotheIs lived wholesomer,
purer, better, healthier, More natural
lives than we do. Their minds were
not filed with noXiouS isms, nor their
bodies saturated with poisonous drugs.
Is it not time to make a change, to
return TO the simple vegetable prepara-
tions of our grandmothers, which con-
tained the power and potency of nature
as remedial agents, and in all the or
dinary ailments were ef1icacious, at
least harmless?
The proprietors of Warmers Log
Cabin remedies have thought so, and
have put on the market number of
these pure vegetable preparations. made
from formulas secured after patient
searching into the annals of the past,
so that those who want them need not
be without them.
Among these Log Cabin remedies
will be found 'Log Cabin sarsapa-
rilla," for the blood; LOG Cabin hops
AID buchu remedy" a tonic and stom-
ach remedy; !"Log Cabin cough and
consumption remedy" Log Cabin
hair tonIc," for strengthening and re-
newing the hair; LOG Cabin extract"
for both external and internal appllca-
tion; "Log Cabin liver pills. LOG
Cabin rose cream, " an old but effective
memedy for Catarrh. and "Lug Cabin
plaster" All these remedies are care
fully prepared from recipes which were
found, after long investigation, TO have
been those most successfully used by
our grandmotheTs of ''ye olden time. "
They are the simple, vegetable, efIica-
cious remedies of Log Cabin days.

gives the following as a method of
bleaching tibres: The cotton, fax or
other fibre IN any stage of its manufac-
tHre is first washed in a solution of sui
phate OF soda for three hours. The
strength of the solution corresponds to
four ounces of sulphate of soda to
gallon or water. After the fibre has
been stepped in water in order to get
rid of all traces of the sulphate, it Is
subjected to the action CT a solution Of
chloride of lime. of a strength of one
to two ounces per gallon of water, un-
til it Is sufficiently bleached. The next
bath consists of week solution of
sulphuric acid. and all traces of the
chloride of lime are finally removed by
a bath of alkaline sulphite.

COOLING 5IILR.-As a rule every
farmer now cOol5 his milk, but many
OF them never stop to think which is
the best way to cool for given purposes.
II you wish TO make butter, more
cream Will be obtained from a given
amount of milk If set to cooling at
once, without stirring.
To facilitate the separation of cream
from milk, three things are essential:
First, that tie cream should be cooled
from the top, sides and bottom at the
same time. Second. that it should be
kept perfectly mOtiOnless while the
cream IS separating or rising. And
third, 1t should be cooled so rapidly
that no possible change can take place
in the milk until all the cream has
rIssn-
Because of this, always have the
cans or pals IN which you set your
milk completely under water; If you
have no ice, have the cold water enter
the cooling tank at the top, and let the
milk lie undlstErbed after being drawn
from the COW if you wish TO make
butter.
If you wish milk at its best for
drinking, it should be submerged at
once and kept thoroughly stirred or
mixed while cooling. In this way the
original emulsion IS completely pre-
served; that is, the cream is prevented
from separating, and will not readily
afterward.
