The opening of the $500" bridges al
Sault Ste. Marie early next year com
pletes the Northern Pacific's connection
with the Canadian Pacific railroad, and
virtually brings Portland, Boston and
New York 200 miles nearer the North
west. The bridges are owned by the
Canadian Pacific, the Duluth, South
Shore and Atlantic, and the Minneapolis,
Sault Ste. Marie and Atlantic companies.
The new transcontinental route which
the bridges effect is said also to be a Ink

LOST FAITH IN PHYSICIANS
There are innumerable instances where
cures have been effected by Scovill's
Sarsaparila, or blood and liver Syrup,
for all dieases of the blood, when they
have been given over by their physi-
clans. 1t is one of best remedies ever
offered to the public, and as it is
prepared with the greatest
care. as a specific for
certain diseases. il is no wonder that it
should be more effectual than hastily
written and carelessly prepared pre-
scriptions. Take this medicine for all
disorders arising from impure blood.
1t is endorsed by leading professional
men.
PERHAPS no local disease has puz-
zeled and baffied the medical profession
more than nasal catarrah. While not
Immediately fatal it is among the most
distressing, nauseous and disgusting ills
that flesh is heir to, and the records
show very few or no cases of radical
cure of chronic catarrah by any of the
multitude of modes treatment until the
introduction of Ely's Cream Balm a
few years ago. The success of this pre-
paration has been most gratifying and
surprising. 45w2.

was taken down with what the
physicians called bronchitis Gan or
binary cold) aud was very sick for
two weeks; she seemed to be filled deep
in the chest with phlegm which we
were unable to loosen; she could not lie
down at all, but bad to be held upright
else it caused her to cough severely; the
physician did not give her any relief.
although the prescriptions were changed
every day and sometimes twice dag;
this treatment was continued about ten
days and we finally determined to try a
bottle of Chamberlains Cous Remedy.
We obtained bottle and after giving a
few doses she was relieved, breathing
easier and throwing off the phlegm and
and getting to sleep. getting we'll in o
few days, and we believe we owe her life

The Perfect Horse.

The perfect horse is yet to be foaled, and
we must take facts as they are, and not ex-
pect to find all good qualities in any one
horse. In dealing with a stranger rely
largely on your own Judgment, and en-
deavor not to be misled by any questiona-
BILE statements he may make. See that
the horse stands squarely on its feet, and
that it does not toe out behind, or toe in
forward. Run your hand slowly and care
fully down the inside of each leg if there
is bunch there you will feel it. See that
the feet are sound and well spread A
dark hoof, if sound, is always preferable to
white or streaked one Look sharp at
the eye. A bright full eye denotes spirit
a mild, pleasant eye, with a brownish cast,
indicates pleasant, affectionate disposi-
ton, while an eye with a good deal Of
white denotes temper. There is, perhaps,
no other way to judge horses disposition
so we'll as by careful study of his eyes,
and too much Importance cannot well be
attached to the necessity of good dispo-
sition. In every case take bill of the
horse, written by the seller himself, with
the horse described therein as sound or
unsound. If buyer is personally ac-
quainted with any reliable person who has
satisfactory horse for sale, it is better to
purchase of him, even though it may cost
more. Nearly every man feels indignant
at the suggestion that he is not competent
to handle any horse, while the fact is this
"That after YOU and | are taken out of the
list, there remains comparatively few men
really competent to handle a fine, high
strung, nervous horse, although it may not
be in the least vicious" Many man has
made a serious mistake by getting more
horseaesh than he can handle. He may
lack the patience required with wide
awake horse.-American Agriculturist for

Black Knot.

The american Agicuitnist says black
knot is due to fungus, and the trouble is
communicated from one tree to another. II
the disease is taken in hand upon its first
appearance, when first seen breaking up
through the bark, and the branch re-
moved, or, if the branch is large, the af-
fected portion cut entirely away, down to
sound wood, afterwards washing the wound
with solution of chloride of lime bleach
ing powder, it can, if this is persisted in,
be subdued. Where the neighborhood is
filled with diseased trees it will be of little
use to try to cure your own, for Your neigh
bors' trees will continue to infest them or
any new ones that may be planted. If all
plum growers in the vicinity would agree
to cut down and burn every diseased tree,
and if the healthy trees remain free from
the "knot" for couple of years, it may
be safe to plant new trees. The knot often
attacks the Morello cherry, and may exist
in locality where there are no plum
trees, and when these trees are planted the
cherries communicate the disease to them
Thorough cutting, if it takes the whole
tree, is the only hope for the present trees;
if beyond this, cut down all the diseased
trees and do not plant any more plums
until the disease seems to be extirpated in
the vicinity. 1t has been stated that vel
low plums are less liable to the knot than
those with purple fruit, but this is not well
established.

Feeding Hogs for Fat or Lean.

The experiments conducted by Professor
w. A. Henry, at the Wisconsin Agricult-
ural Experiment Station, last year, in
feeding hogs, have excited much interest.
The character of the growth was found to
be largely influenced by that of the food.
Regarding these experiments Professor
Henry writes to us: "I am repeating the
experiment in different forms, and have
confrmatory evidence that the compost
tion of the body of the hog can be very
considerably affected BY the kind of food
given. Do not try to show in the Ameri-
can Agr,cuiturist that we can produce car
cases fat and lean at will for the table, be-
cause the notifications by feeding have in
reality rather narrow range. If we can
modify the form slightly in one genera
ton by the way we feed, it is natural to con-
clude that in few generations we can
very materially affect the form and consti-
tuition of an animal by proper or improper
feeding. The hog being greedy animal
and easily satisfied when enough food is
supplied, has been greatly abused, espe-
cially here at the West, in the great corn
district. The sermon | wished preached
from the text l have given is one in
breeding rather than producing lean meat
as against fat for the table, though we GER
tainly can increase the lean by proper
feeding to degree worthy of considera-
tion, and Its flavor is also capable of being
improved. Witness the Irish and South
ern bacon in comparison with that of Illi-
nois."

Sore Eyes in Horses, Cattle and Sheep

J, T., Rome, n Y: I notice what J.
g., of West Lebanon, \. Y, says in late
Rural about sore eyes in his horse. If the
horse were mine | would wash the eyes
with warm water, no soap, and then turn
his head to one side by the help of an
assistant and put a few drops of pure
strained honey in each eye morning, noon
and night never yet had on my farm
sore eve from any cause in either horse, OK
or sheep, that this treatment did not cure
in short time. ] have had severe cases
in sheep where they went perfectly blind,
the eyes being as white as the white of an
egg, but the honey cured every case. My
cattle have also had films grown over eyes
that were perfectly sightIess, but l have
never had one that the honey treatment
did not cure, removing all films and sore
ness.-Rurdi Ne,u Yorker.

AMONG THE FLOODS.
| Another Freshet Visits the Allegheny
and Monongahela Valleys.

PIrrsBURG, July 13th.-The Allegheny
and the Monongahela valleys were visited
by another heavy rain last night The
rivers are again rising at the headwaters.
This has caused some apprehension, but
old river men do not anticipate another
food.
The rivers are still receding here, with
eight feet six inches in the channel 1t is
clear and very cold, the mercury dropping
240 in a few hours. Last night was the
hardest of all or the $50 families in Pitts
burg who had to move out of their shanty
boats. Their floating homes were in bad
shape when the river fell yesterday and
not fit for occupancy. Then the weather
suddenly grew quite cool, and the rain
soaked their bed clothes and wet their other
goods piled up along the river bank in the
yard of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Rail
road. Many of the women and children
were cared for by neighbors, and men built
fires and passed the night on the wet
grounds as best they could.

Canada Is for Cleveland.

The Iowa State Register says: The senti-
ment of Great Britain has always been
friendly to Cleveland since it was known
that he was a friend to free trade. The
people of Canada who have the same interest
in breaking down the American system of
protection, are equally fond of the Demo-
cratic candidate. The Toronto Mail in a
recent issue discusses the chances of Mr..
Cleveland's reelection and halls with
great pleasure the indication that it would
mean free trade with the United States. 1t
predicts the abandonment of the protective
system in case the Democrats are success
ful, as follows: If Mr.. Cleveland be
reelected, and all the signs point to his
return, the protectionist system in the
States cannot long survive. The Mills
bill now before Congress will doubtless be
followed by measures of a more sweeping
character, until the war tariff is reduced
to twenty-five per cent, and the free list
enlarged by the addition of raw material
of every sort. 1t is safe to say that protec-
tion in Canada will also receive a fatal
shock"

making twice as much as it paid out. Was
not this an ignoble policy, and beneath the
dignity of the nation to use for the purpose
OF making money line sustained by for
eigu Governments? The New Zealand
Government had become disgusted with
the extremely conservative policy of this
Government and would no longer aid in
maintaining the service unless the United
States would meet it halfway.
Owen of Indian advocated the amend
ment as means of advancing the business
interests of the United States In the great
consuming countries of South America.
Nelson of Minnesota referred to the coun.
try of bis birth Norway as too poor to subsi-
dlze single ship for year, yet with free
trade and tree ships she stood next to the
United States in tonnage and commerce.
The granting of a subsidy to few steam
ship lines would not stimulate commerce,
but would arm them with weapons to
light off competition. France had given
subsidies, but her shipping interest was
now in dilapidated condition-the result
OF over production. England kept up her
system of subsidies in order to connect her
with her ontlying colonies.
FELTON, thanked God that he came from a
country that would avoid the cheap and
nasty as long as possible.
Nelson" You have been hating Chinese
SO long,you can't help hating all foreign
ers."
FELTON," You can't pay me higher
compliment than to say hate the Chi
nese."
Nelson The gentleman from Califor-
MIA hates the cheap and nasty manafactur-
ers. This country wanted the cheap and
nasty in the shape of labor, and we had to
pass laws to prevent them from getting IT,"
FELTON, said he had presented labor bills
which had never been reported from the
| committee.
Dockery argued against subsidies, an d
contended that the effect of the amend
ment would be to discourage the building
of additional lines and enable snch poor
men as Gould, Savage and Huntington to
prevent competition to the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company.
Pending further debate the House took a
recess until SO clock.

MAIL SUBSIDIES.
Interesting Debate in the House-Felton
Has Tilt.

WASHINGTON July 13th-In the House
to-day Blount submitted the conference
report on the postoffice appropriation BILL
An agreement had been arrived al on all
the amendments except the subsidy amend
ment. Postage on seeds, plants, bulbs,
roots and scions has been fixed at one cent
for each two ounces or fraction thereof
The report was agreed to.
Bingham moved to concur in the Senate
subsidy amendment, with an amendment
reducing the appropriation from 500, 600 to
$450,000, and authorizing the Postmaster
General to increase the mail facilities not
only between the United States and Central
and South America and the West Indies,
but between the United States and Canada
Japan, the Sandwich Islands and Australia
and providing that American ships carry
ing mails shall be allowed four times the
amount of compensation they now receive
Bingham said the question was not one
of subsidy or bonus, but question as to
the readiustment of compensation, under
the law of 1868, as applied to the sailing
OF American steamships under the existing
conditions of 1888. If the conditions to-
day were different from the conditions ex-
isting at the time the law of 1858 was
passed, a fair readjustment of compensation
allowed to American vessels carrying the
mails should be made.
Blount opposed the motion. The line to
China and Australia now received from so
to 90 times more for mail transportation
than il did for freight transportation, and
vet it was proposed to give it four times as
much as now received. He believed the
existing provisions for the service were
ample, and that to-day the United States
has the best mail service on earth.
Dingley supported the amendment.
Holman attacked the principle of subsi-
dies. and referring to the Reed resolution of
inquiry adopted in February, 1874, into the
charges that money had been used to secure
the passage of the Pacific Mail subsidy,
said the House had been dishonored by the
results of the inquiry, yet it was now pro-
posed that that very steamship line should
receive another subsidy, after having driven
honored and prominent men into obscurity
and dishonored graves.
FELTON, of California cited the case of the
line plying between San Francisco, Aus
tralia and New Zealand. Here was a line
receiving s150,O00 subsidy from foreign
Governments. The mail service on this
line was not part of the Postal Union serv-
ice. and therefore the United States Gov
eminent collected between $40 900 and
$47. 600 annually as postage, while it paid
to the line $4,000. The Government was
