Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers of suffocatiOn while
lying down: to breathe freely; sleep sOundly and
undiSturbed; to rise refreShed; head clear; brain
active and free from pain or ache; to know that no
poisonous, putrid matter defiles tie breath and
hearing; to feel that system does not I. rough it's
veins and arteries, suck up the poison that is sure
to undermine and destroy, is indeed a blessing be-
yOnd all other human eniOyments. TO.purchaSe
immunity from such fate should be the object of
all afflicted, but those who have tried many remedies
and physianeianS despair OF relief or cure.
Sanford's Radical Cure meets every phase Of
Catarrh, from simple head cold to the most IOat-
some and destructive stages. 1t is local and con-
StltutiOnal Instant in relieving, permanent in
curing; safe, economical and neYeT-failing. a.

LESS than ten years ago Democratic
organs and stump speakers declared
that John Sherman's resumption law
was fraud, a delusion and a snare;
that it would never go into practical op-
Grafton; and that no boy or girl then
living would ever see the day when gold
and silver coin would circulate as cur
rency, or when the paper circulation
would be based upon coin, or converti-
bic into coin. The Republican resump-
ton law was not repealed, as demanded
by the Democrats, and all Republican
statutes relating to the currency and the
public debt are still in force, the result
of which is that on the 1st day of Janu-
ary, 1888, we had in the country $942,-
100000 of American gold and silver coin,
and a paper circulation, at par with
gold, of 1924, 100000 total of 81, $685.
100000, or $31.10 per capita of the en-
tire population-the largest per capita
circulation on record. If Democracy
had had its way ten or twelve years ago
the circulation Exclusively inconverti-
bic paper would perhaps have equaled
or eXcelled the present volume, and
would have been worth 35 to 40 cents
on the dOllar-O. s. Journal.

TIIISBE.

The garden within was shaded,
And guarded about from sight;
The fragrance flowed fran the south wind,
The fountain leaped 20 the light,
And the street without was narrow,
And dusty, and hot, and mean;
But tie hlush that bore white roses,
She leaned to the fence between.
And softly she sought a ereyiee
In that barrier blank and tail,
And Shyly she thrust out through it
Her lOVeliest bud of all.
And tender TO touch, and gracious,
And pure as the moons pure shins,
The fun rose paied and was perfect,
For whose eyes, for whose lips, but mine!

THE successful journey of Lieutenant
Younghusband from China across Cen
tral Asia to India is regarded in Eng
land as of considerable political import
ance. The traveller himself had no po-
litical object, but the fact that he sue
ceeded in passing without difficulty
through regions which no European was
previously allowed to visit is regarded as
evidence that Central Asia is settling
down quietly under Chinese rule, and
that the Chinese have lost that violent
dislike and distrust of Englishmen, at
least in those regions, which they have
manifested over and over again toward
other travellers.

THE GARFIELDS.

Cleveland Leader.
Thomas Garfield, brother of the late
President, was in the city three hours
yesterday. He arrived from Mentor early
in the afternoon, and departed for his
home, near Grand Rapids, Mich just be-
fore o'clock. Mr. Garfield has been for
three weeks at the bedside of his mother
who, he said, is not far removed from
death. In a conversation with reporter
Mr. Garfield stated that his mother was
eighty-six years old on the 18th day of
last September, and she is gradually Civ
ing way to old age. For six weeks she
has been utterly helpless and her attend
ants have even been obliged to assist in
changing her position i'll bed. She is at
tended by Mrs. TrOwbridge, her eldest
daughter. The physicians say that she is
not suffering from any specific malady, but
that her atiiictiOn consists in the weak
ness of advanced age, with attending ills.
Mr. Garfield was OF the opinion that her
death was only question of little time.
Mrs. j. a. Garfield, with her daughter
and eldest son. are still in Europe.
Thomas Garfield is sixty-six years of
age, and was the Oldest male member of
the fanny. IN speaking of his early eX-
perience he said: =" We removed to Orange
when l was six years of age, and l can
well remember when all that part of the
country was a wilderness. 1 remember
when not single tree had been cut on
the present sight of Chagrin Falls. After
leaving Ohio went TO the wilds of Mich

CHINESE pheasants were introduced
into Oregon four years ago and law
passed protecting them. The result has
been that the birds have increased to a
marvellous extent. 1t is said there are
thousands of them in Willamette Val
ley, and that they destroy so much wheat
that the farmers will attempt to have the
protective law repealed this winter, be-
cause one pheasant destroys more wheat
than forty other birds.

THE RECENT PHENOMENOl

CLIMATIC AND ATMOSPHERIC.
Pittsburgh Times.
A striking popularity OF the dreadful
Northwestern blizzard, whose victims
continue to increase in number, is that it
came without warning out of clear sky,
on an exceptionally fine day. So prom
ising was the weather that people pre-
pared to go out unusual distances and
longer time than common. The air was
of crystal clearness, the wind being from
the South and balmy, giving premonition
of thaw. Suddenly, about noon, cloud
arose, stretching in semi circle from the
West to the Northwest. In short time
the sun was obscured, the gale became
furious, the snow binding and the biz
Zard in brief time was "full high ca
reering." That was in the Northwest.
In Kansas, Colorado, Iowa, and through
out a wide extent of country, embracing
several States, the fierceness of the gale
and intensity of the cold were about the
same. Human beings and animals were
frozen almost in their tracks. Animal
life withered beneath the blast, whose
suddenness gave no opportunity for
flight or preparation. Some of the pecu-
liarities of this climatic phenomenon de-
serve such explanation as science is able
to give. One thing seems to be certain,
there is no knowing when such vista
tions will be made, with small chance of
being ready for them.

THE Oil City Derrick prints an ac-
count of a dog that had become SO great
a nuisance around a neighbor's house,
where he made frequent visits, by getting
in the way and undog- like conduct gen
orally, that the family began to talk in
his presence about killing him; where
upon the dog rose up, went straight
home and was never seen there again,
The question is: did he understand what
was said about killing him?

ATTEND TO FOWLS YOURSELF

ATTEND TO FOWLS YOURSELF.
The poultry editor of Farm and Gar
den gives this timely advice in relation
to supervision of poultry yards: 1t has
been demonstrated, by repeated failures,
that no one can delegate the duty of at
tending to poultry, must do it himself
To secure competent man to manage
a large poultry farm is no easy matter,
and a really competent assistant or
manager will want something more than
the ordinary monthly wages and board.
Nearly all failures result from incompe-
tency. To get together large flock of
hens, and put ''a man" over them who is
not only an inexperienced person, but be-
low the average in intelligence, is ruin
Gus to the prospects. Itrequires knowl-
edge and intelligence to manage large
poultry farm, and quite salary is re-
quired to secure the right kind of a
manager, for they are scarce Any per-
son engaging in the poultry business
must be sure and be on the grounds at
all times. He may have an assistant,
and even foreman and other help, but
single mistake may changea prospect
i've profit to loss, and hence the care
full and watchful eye of the owner must
be over the work, and he will even find
that no one can do what is required so
well as himself, for disasters have been
the results of many ventures.

A PROCESS has lately been discovered
in Great Britain for the manufacture of
smokeless gunpowder, and the prelimi-
nary steps toward the formation of a
company had been taken, when the gov
eminent stepped in, made inquiries and
secured control of the entire scheme
This was an easy matter, as the powder
is made by secret process, known only
to the inventor, and for which no patent
was asked. 1t is further stated that this
smokeless powder is mainly made from
straw, and that the British government
has dispatched agents TO all grain grow
ing countries with instructions to pur-
chase all the straw in the market, as
well as that now in process of growth, to
the end that she may have at least
years start in her new industry.

FARM AND GARDEN.

From the Country Gentleman.
The farms of the United states num-
Der about 100000, of which nearly
l 100000 are worked under lease or on
shares.
Two crops may be profitably taken in
year from farm lands-the hrst, corn
fodder for ensilage; followed by thick
rye to be ploughed in late next spring.
The most successful dishornlng OF
cattle is when they are three weeks
calves, and when only little button,
easily removed, is the horn.
Galvanized barb-wire viii last many
years without rust or harm; II only
painted it requires re- painting, or 1t Will
rust.
Prof. Arnold saws the running ex-
pense in labor and fuel for evapoSatng
apples is 10 to II cents bushel; for
raspberries, half cent quart; Tor
peaches, % to 35 cents bushel.
Fruit rooms or fruit houses, to be kept
cool, should be entered from above, to
prevent the cold air from flowing out
if the entrance is on the same level.
1, Kalamazoo is reported as having 5000
acres af celery in her market gardens
reclaimed land.
Manure finely diffused through the
soil lessons dryness in a dry time; if left
in Jumps when ploughed under it in
creases it.
Finely pulverized and well interniixed
through soil, manure is worth more than
double if left in Jumps, even in wet
season.
Every farmer should have workshop,
with distinct place for every tool, and
boxes with compartments for nails,
screws, bolts, ETC., of different sizes.
Paris green is the most efficient nfect-
ieide, and succeeds with potato beetles,
canker worms, eodling moths, and all
other insects which devour leaves, but
fails with plant lice, which live by suck
ing juices.
To find the contents of crib, multi
ply the length, breadth and height for
the cubic feet; multiply the same by
four and strike off the right hand figure,
and the result will be the shelled bushels.
To keep fruit without deeaying, let
the fruit room in winter be steadily near
the freezing point, regulated with two
cheap thermometers.
The kitchen in every country house
should be on level with the principal
floor, and should have ample windows
for light and ventilation on opposite
sides.

What is said about keeping animals
warm during the winter, does not apply
to manure. Smoking is more injurious
to the compost heap than to boys.
Farm animals are hurt more by medi-

We would once more ask those of our
farmers who are raising wheat or rye, to
spread some short manure over a small
portion so that the effects of the light
covering may be compared with the rest
of the field next season. 1t should be
spread as evenly as possible while the
ground is frozen.
