Uses of Lemon.

Lemonade from juice of the lemon is one
of the best and safest drinks Tor any per
son, whether in health or not. 1t is suita-
bic for all stomach diseases, gravel. liver
complaint, inflammation of the bowels and
fever. 1t is a specific against worms and
skin complaints. Lemon juice is the best
antiscorbutic remedy known 1t not only
cures this disease, but prevents it. Sailors
make daily use of it for this purpose. |
advise every enc to rub their gums with
lemon juice to keep them in good condi-
ton. The hands and nails are kept clean,
white, soft and supple by the daily use of
lemons instead of soap. 1t also prevents
chilblains.
Lemons is used in intermittent fever.
mixed with strong hot, black coffee, with
out sugar. Neuralgia may be cured by
rubbing the part affected with cut lemon.
1t is valuable, also, to cure warts and de-
stroy dandruf on the head, by rubbing the
roots of the hair with it. 1t will alleviate
and finally cure coughs and colds and heal
diseased lungs, if taken hot on going to
bed at night. Its uses are manifold, and
the more We employ it externally the bet
ter We shall find ourselves. Lemon Juice
is useful in removing tartar from the teeth,
anti-febrile, etc. A doctor in Rome is try
ing it experimentallv in malarial fever
with great success, and thinks it will in
time supersede quinine.-Erchanqe

Working for Other Men.

All honest men are working for other
men. If a man works exclusively for him
self, he is counterfeiter, or forger, or a
sneak thief, or perchance highwayman.
All love of industry, all love of integrity,
all love of kindred, all love of neighbor,
all love of country and all love OF human
ity is expressed in labor for Others. For
this service thus performed right to re-
ward is required, and he for whom the
service is performed has imposed upon him
the duty to render the reward, and the
service is rendered in the hope of the re-
ward. Everywhere in civilized society
men are thus working for Others
Every man, in all the years of his labor,
tolls for his fellow man, and the practice
is universal among all honest civilized
men, and last from generation to genera
ton; and universal practice is gradually
becoming crystallized into universal habit.
One man is trying to make better houses
for his neighbors, another man is trying to
make better shoes for his neighbors, an
other man is trying to make better laws for
his neighbors, and another man is trying
to make better books for his neighbors.
Every man is thus forever dwelling upon
the welfare of his neighbors, and making
his best endeavor for their good and thus
the habit grows from generation to genera
ton, until at last some men forget that
there is reward for service, and labor for
their fellow men because they love their
fellow men.-Major j. W. PoueU.

VIII 1888 Be a Year of war;

The present year is the fifth year of
modern times in which the aggregate of
the figures is 25, and there will be but FIVE
more years in which such combination is
possible prior to the year 2599. Probably
but few have ever heard of the old proph-
ecy, which runs as follows:
In every future year of our Lord.
When the sum of the figures is TWENTY-FIVE
Some warlike kingdom will draw the sword
But peaceful nations in peace will thrive.
Students of modern history will readily
recall how faithfully this prophecy has
been fulfilled in the four previous years to
which it applied.
In 1899 Russia, Denmark and Poland
formed the coalition against Sweden, which
inaugurated the great war that ended in
the disastrous defeat of Charles XII. at
Pultowa.
The year 1889 will ever be memorable
on account of the breaking out of the
French revolution.
Seventeen hundred and ninety-eight
witnessed the campaign of Bonaparte in
Egypt and the formation of the second
European coalition against France.
In 1879 war broke out between England
and Afghanistan, followed by the invasion
of the latter country by British troops.
In what manner the prediction is to be
verified In 1888 remains yet to be seen, but
the present condition of Europe seems to
promise an abundant fulfllment of the
prophecy.-Philddelphia Inquirer.

SHOT FROM AMBUSH.
Particulars of the Murder of John L.
Serpa In Fresno County.

PARTICULARS OF The Murder of John L.
Serpa In Fresno County.
Copyright 1888. by ae California Associated Pres..l
FRESNO, May lst.-The Deputy Coroner
and surgeon just in from the foothills
bring the first authentic account of the
murder of John L. Serpa the sheep herder.
Serpa, with his partner, named Marcal,
each having band of sheep, started from
the West Side about a week ago for the
foothills. On Sunday morning, while
driving along the road beside Sycamore
creek, the men passed house in which
were ten or twelve men. Two came out of
the house and demanded of Serpa and
Marcial their destination, at the same time
telling them that they would not allow
them to range bands in that neighborhood
Hot words passed between the men and
Marcial, and finally the latter and Serpa
drove on about two miles beyond the
house, and at noon camped. Shortly after
men from an ambush at the top of hill
(ths camp being in valley began firing
on Serpa's camp. In all twenty or thirty
shots were fired. Serpa was killed by
bullet which entered over his left eye and
went through his head None of the party
saw the men that were doing the shooting.
The brothers OF Serpa have offered a
reward Of 500 for the arrest of the MUIR
dere1s, but it is not likely they will be
caurbt

Grape Cuttings.

Grape cuttings should now be taken
from the cellar, or other places of storage,
say the Vineyardist, and buried in dry
sunny place, top-end down, SO that the
upper end is about ten or twelve inches
below the surface of the ground, then put
on about two inches of good soil, and cover
with a thick layer of fermenting horse
manure. This. with the warm rays of the
sun, soon warns the layer of earth on the
cuttings, and not only induces the rapid
callousing of the butts, but the formation
of roots also. AT the proper time take up
the cuttings and put them in well pre-
pared cutting bed, and the growth will
astonish YOU.

A Movement on Foot to Close Cut Some
Insurance Companies.
copyright. 1885, byDe California Associated Press.l
new YORK, May 1st-There was con-
sternation in insurance circles to-day when
1t became known there was a movement
on foot by the stockholders for the purpose
OF throwing two or three important com
panies into liquidation. 1t was stated that
IN one instance a petition had been
prepared and signed by numerous stock
holders setting forth that the business of
certain insurance companies had become so
Improbable, owing to the wholesale cut
ting of premium rates, that twas advisable
to shut up shop" and permit the capital
lists interested,in the enterprise to devote
their money and energies to other branches
of business.
Franklin Webster, the editor of an insur
ance journal, does not favor the movement
TO have any of the companies go out of
business. In plain terms, it is intimated
that ire insurance men were obstinate, be-
cause they did not unite and work together
for the common good.

Thick and Thin soIes.

The feet can be kept warmer in cold
weather by wearing Shoe with light
sole than thick one. With the former
the shoe has chance to work, thereby
keeping up circulation. This, of course,
applies only when the weather is dry; but
when 1t IS wet, and rubbers are necessary,
it is best to bear single-soled shoe inside.
In the summer the thick sole should be
worn, for it keeps the heat from striking
through to the foot. This is all so con-
trary to the preeonceived opinions of the
public that it is doubtful whether it will
receive much credence, but it is..the fact all
the same.-Shoe and Leather Reporter.
