immense Pattern Mandatory, and yet

to the purchasers and subscribers to that
wonderful Family Magazine, Demorest's
Monthly. Each Magazine contains an order
emitting the holder to any pattern they
manufacture. We do not see how they can
afford it, for their editions are immense,
and it seems Incredible that each Magazine
(Send ten cents for sample copy), contains
an order for pattern worth from 20 to 80
cents. This will certainly hurt the pattern

Poison ivy, while it is very poison
Gus to some, is entirely harmless to
others. Actual contact with the plant
is not in all cases necessary to poison
man. Persons are known to have been
poisoned by simply passing by places
where the vine grows abundantly.
Those>who are not familiar with these
plants will on general principles do
we'll to avoid any vine or bush growing
by rocks, fences and wood sides with
glossy leaves arranged in trees, and in
the fall any particularly brilliant tree
in swampy places, with leaves resemb-
ling, but slightly broader than the
common sumach.
Fortunately ivy poisoning is not a
dangerous affection, although persons
severely poisoned present a very dis
tressing appearance. Ne scars or per-
manent injury to the skin or general
system are apprehended In ordinary
cases, and no danger of catching it by
contact with the eruption upon another
person need be feared.
The bruised leaves of the common
plantain are an excellent antidote and
always convenient. Rub them over the
eruptions and bind them on If possible.
Fine table salt often effects cure. Ap-
plications of soft soap sometimes af-
fords relief. Sweet oil is one of the
surest and most agreeable remedies.
Battle the irritated parts freluently
with the oil. A leading physician
speaks in the highest terms of sulphite
of soda as a remedy, prescribes it for
his patients, as he knows its value from
personal experience. As to his own
case he was completely covered with
the poisonous eruptions and tried all
the old and new cures without any good
resulting from them, until one day a
drug clerk gave him ten cents worth of
sulphite of soda, dissolved in one pint
Of water, with which he bathed the
parts freely. 1t acted like magic; it
allayed the itching and was very sooth-
ing. The cure was complete in week.
Sulphite Of soda can be obtained at any
drug store. but in ordering it will be
we'll to state that it is sulphite Of soda

Log Cabin Grandmothers.


An Indiana doctor has recently discovered
IN common weed whose medicinal qualities
have never before been suspected, yalu-
able remedy for bowel disorders.
There is nothing particularly strange
about this fact.
Nothing.
And yet the very simplicity of the new
discovery would, with some, seem to throw
just doubt upon its power To make it one
has only to pour hot water over the leaves
Of the plant. In its preparation no vast
chemical works and appliances are re-
quired.
Is it to be wondered at since such plainly
prepared remedies are accounted as of such
great merit in these days, that such
wonderful results attended our grand
mothers, whose teas and infusions of roots
and herbs and balsams, have exerted so
great an influence in tho maintenance Of
health and lifea
Certainly noti
The greatest pieces of. machinery strike
US most by their exceeding simplicity.
The secret Of the success of grand
mothers remedies was their freshness and
simplicity. Every autumn found the little
Log Cabin abundantly supplied with fresh
leaves, roots, herbs and balsams, which
were carefully dried and prepared and laid
away for use. DreadlDg to call a doctor be-
cause Of the expensiveness of his far-made
trips, they Immediately gave attention to
the disease and routed 1t before it had
gained foothold.
The old Log Cabin grandmother, In cap
and high tucked gown, and perchance be-
spectacled in rough silver, her weary feet
encased in "hum made" slips, is the dear
sweet nurse who rises to the view of many
man and woman to-day as the early years
OF life pass in retrospect.
The secrets of grandmother's medicines
were rapidly being forgotten and the world
was not growing in the grace of good
health. To restore the lost art Of log cabin
healing has been for years the desire Of a
well-known philanthropist in whose ances-
trail line were eight "goodly physicians" Of
the old style, men who never saw q medical
college save in the woods, nor medical
diploma" except that inscribed on the faces
of healthy and long lived patients. Much
time and money was expended in securing
the old formule, which to-day are put forth
as LOG Cabin remedies" hops
and buchu, cough and consumption, and
several others, by Warner, whose name is
famous and standard for medical excel
lence all over the globe. These oldest, new
est and best preparations have been recog-
nized as Of such superexcelleuce that to-day
they can be found with all leading dealers.
When Col. Ethan Allen was making his
tory along our northern frontier during the
revolution, Col Seth Warner, the fighting
Sheridan of that army, who was skillful
natural doctor. used many such remedies,
notably like the Log Cabin extract, sarsa-
pariIla and cough and consumption remedy,
among the soldiers with famous success.
They are noble inheritance which we Of
to-day may enjoy to the full, as did our fore
fathers, and using, reap, as did they, the
harvest Of a life full Of days and full Of use
fulness.

FARM AND FlREsIoE.

"A sure and safe way to remove
grease spots from silk is to rub the
spot quickly with brown paper. The
friction will soon draw out the grease.
If you will be as pleasant and as
anxious TO please in your home as you
are In the company of your neighbors,
you may have one of the happiest
homes In the world.
In putting away summer lawns and
muslins it is best not to starch them, as
1t rots cotton when long in it. Wash
and dry thoroughly and roll away till
spring time.
The average farmer can not see
where his independence comes in
when he has to work hard all summer
to pay the interest which falls due ON
his mortgage in the winter.
1t is of no advantage for an animal
to be 'small eater" In order to
produce largely the animal should con-
sumo as much food as possible, and
always have great appetite.
Gull out the flock and fatten for
the butcher those sheep which failed at
'shearing-time to yield a profitable
fleece. Lambs that are intended to
urn of should be given generous feed.
: Cows lying out in the pasture or
open barnyard through chilly nights
will entail loss in diminished milk
yield of far greater amount than the
cost of keeping them under shelter at
night and during cold storms. After
the frosts come pasturage should be
supplemented by liberal rations of
bran, ground oats. or other feed.
Never grow trees of different kinds
together until satisfied one docs not in
jure the other, as is frequently the case
when plums are grown near peaches,
thus inducing the curculio to sometimes
attack the latter. A single wild-cherry
tree near an apple orchard will pro-
vide harboring place for caterpillars,
which finally injure the apple orchard.
Those who sow wheat after corn
should move lively or they will be too
late. Fall plowing for spring crops
should be done at once, except on land
infested with foul grasses. which
ought not to be touched until just be-
fore freezing up. While waiting don't
forget to provide plenty OF good fuel
for winter, and thus increase the hap
pieess of the household.-N Y Iude-

last clause of tho above is correct; but
If there is anything in tho law. q copy

the Sheriff to notify inspectors or fur
