The Watermelon.

1t is frequently asserted that the
watermelon lacks distinctive taste,
and some persons regard this as a
serious objection to that luscious
vegetable. Colored people general
ly regard such a suggestion as alto
gether hypocritical; but the fault
if it is one, seriously diminishes the
popularity of the fruit. Fortunate
ly, however, the difficulty has a
length been overcome by an ingen-
ious horticulturist Of Arlington Ga.
who has invented a way of commu-
nicating to the watermelon any fla
vor that may be desired. His meth
Cd is, before the fruit ripens, to Gu
slit about an inch long in tn
stem and pour in a drop or so 0
favoring extract for say two week 3
After the operation is performed Tt,
wound is closed and the stem tiet
with q string. In this manner it il
possible to obtain a melon a la choc
olate, la strawberry, la vanilla
and cream, la most any thing yot
please. Red pepper, mustard ant
other condiments may be lntroduc-
ed, if it is wished, and the tast,
thus raised to point sufficient,
high to suit any palate.-New Eng
land Illustrated Magazine.
IL the Citizen remembers correct
ly Mr.. Madison Harwell, of thiI
county, made this discovery NOR,
than ten years ago, and his melon!
are said to be the best in the world

Purcell IND. TERRITORY
April 10th 1856

To THE CITIZEN
AS m any of my friends know ]
left Pulaski en- the 18th, and went
tn Decatur that night. After de
lay of IA hours we left for Mem.
phis on u train two hours late, ar
rived in Memphis at $50 o'clock
at night. On the 18th left Mem
phis at 7 o'clock, passed through
I35 miles of swamps. Saw three
droves of wild turkeys on the trip.
Arrived at Tearcanna about $3.50
o'clock at night; stopped over un-
til 7 next morning. While stand
ing on the platform waiting for the
train for GAINESVILLE, the Maloem
train backed up, ran off the track
into the platform, making kindling
wood Of everything, covering wo-
man and child in the wreck and
thought killed them both as they
lay there until we pulled them
out. They did not seem much
hurt. The railroad men took them
off and we started on our trip to
the promised land. We left Tear
CANA aud travelled through some
beautiful country; arrived at
Whitesboro, stopped one hour and
changed cars for GAINESVILLE, stayed
all night there. You will see we
have done all our trav, ling in day
light. Left GAINESVILLE at 3 O'clock
April 18th, crossed the river over
into the Indian Tel ritory, arrived
at Purcell at II o'clock at night
had some trouble getting a place to
sleep, finally gett ng cot in a
room with eleven strangers.
neglected to state that ! left Will
Roberts at GAINESVILLE, owing to a
sprained ankle which was paining
him very much. He thought il
best to rest, and will follow on in a
day or two.
| will not attempt now to de
scribe the Oklahoma lands, because
! have not been in the county yet.
From Purcell across the Canadian
river it looks like q beautiful coun
try.
We have every class OF people 10
the world here. The only thing
makes it so man can live here is
there is no whisky sold here.
Gambling of Every description
is going on here on The streets and
every one seems in good humor
but great deal of swearing and an
awful hard lot OF characters here
l don't know when l ever wrote

MOthArS.

There are upon the skin OF every hu-
man being, child and adult alike, 1900
600 pores. Through these pores in the
form of insensible perspiration, is ex-
PEELED more than one quarter of the
nourishment taken into the system.
The Importance of keeping open these
perspiration valves upon child's body,
is second only to thBt of promptly d.
costing the TODD eaten. 1t was to open
the pores of the skin and to assimilate
the food that DR.. Pitcher formulated
Castoria. Loose bowels, constipation
fesers and eruptions which are so con-
slant among infants and children, and
which kill one-third of all children be-
fore they are five years old, arise prin-
cipally from these two causes. It is
from the wonderful results attendant
upon the use of Castoria in regulating
the stomachs and bowels ard keeping
open the pores of the skin, that Casio
ria acquired its world wide reputation
With plenty of water for the body
pure air for the lungs and Castoria to
assimilate the food, there need be nc
unaccounted for sickness among Chi.
dren. Castoria is vegetable prescrip-
ton without morphine or other narcotic
proper y. Thirty years extensive use
has given it a history yer attained by
another medicine.

4 yeny Science.

A method of drawing of drawing
out disease from the huma.. body
by sort OF filtering process is the
latest addition to therapeutic sci
ence. The patient is seated in an
air-tight receiver in which the at
mosphere is rariiied by means Of
pump. Through hole in the glass
rubber tube passes TO the mouth
of the occupant, who iahales by this
means an atomized solution, the
chemical institution of which Ia,
as yet, a secret. THE fluid makes
its way quickly from tue lungs out
ward through the pores of the skin,
The rapidity Of the action - greatly
increase d by the dimioisLel atmos
pheric pressure on the surface, AMI
in case OF sickness the body is sat.
uraLed with it until all the impu-i-
ties which give rise TO or are tue re
suit of morrill, conditions are ex-
PEELED. The exact time required tor
the passage of the solution from the
lungs to the cuticule has been as
certained by che very simple expe-
dent of cooring the liquid and
placing a small piece of white cot
ton cloth on the back: it will sohw
within two minutes after
the atomizsd flid was inhaled. This
affords a suggestion VIII Oh will
doubtless, be very useful in diagno-
sis. Experiment will probably es-
tablish the fact that certain diseases
produce certain color effects upon
the medicinal solution, and in fu-
tnre, in order TO find GU. what i
the matter with any one. 1t viii
simply be necessary to stick white
plaster on his back and put him in
to the exhaust receiver for minute
or two, at the end Of which time his
complaint will be definitely indicat
ed by the TINT registered. In case
where a variety OF diseases are pres
ent a rainbow effect will exhibit the
complicated nature of the disorder
Thupathology will attain the rank
of an exec science, instead of being
as it is now, rather matter o
guesswork than Of knowledge; an(
the day is. in all probability, no
far off, when the spectrum analysis
will be as valuable an aid to TIL,
physician as to the astronomer.

The VaL1e of Lon0eUity.

| DR.. Felix L. Oswald, in writing
of the value Of longevity, says:
"Can there be doubt that Burns
and Keats foresaw the issue or
their struggle against blgotry, OF
that Ceruantec, in the gloom Of his
misery, could read the signs Of the
dawn presaging sunburst of posth
umous fame?
"Spinoza aud Schiller died at the
threshold of their goal, Pascal,
Harvey, Macauiey, Buckle and
Bichat left their inimitable works
half finished; Radical, Mozart and
Byron died Ct tha verge of q sum-
NIT which perhaps no other foot
shall ever approach.
"Who knows how oftan, since
the dawn Of modern science, the
chill of death has palsied a hand
that had all but lifted the veil of
Isis temple? Or in how many
thousand lives time alone would
have solved all discords into har-
monies? An increase of longevity
would indeed, solve the vexing rid
dies Of existence; it would furnish
the peculiar endorsement of Mr..
Mallock's conclusion. 1t woaid
give the vicissltudes Of fortune "a
chance to assert their equalizing ten
denotes, it would supply missing
link In the arguments of that natu-
raj religion that trusts the equi-
poise ofjustice in the apparent cap
ricec of human fate.
81 he price of longevity would re-
deem the mortage of our earthly
paradise"-and it can be prolonged
and should be, with care and the
use of proper medicine at the righ'
time.
| Owing to the stress, the worry
and the annoyance OF every day
| life, there is no doubt but that ten:
of thousands Of men and womer
yea,ly ill pi emature graves.
Especially after middle life should
a careful watch be kept over ones
physical condition. The symptom
of kidney disease, such as becom
ing easily tired, headache, neuralgia
feet BILE heart action, fickle appetite
a splendid feeling one day and al
all-gone one the rext persisten
cough, trouble in urinating, etc.
should be diligently looked int,
and at once stopped through -
faithful use of w arner's Safe Cur
which has cured ters of thousand
Of such troubles and will cur
yours.
Experiencing no pain in th
region OF the kidneys is no evi
dence that they are not diseased
as those great purifying orgau
have very few nerves Of sensation
and oitentimes the kidneys are pos
itively rotting and being passe'
, away through the urine before tn
|, victim is aware he is suffering fror
, ADVANCED kidney disease, which
only another name for Brights dis
case.
To preserve life and to be W.
while you live are two cardinal vii
su,s, and it is time well spent t
give this vital subject earnest an
careful attention, aud to use tn
knowledge acquired in a judiciou
and intelligent manner.
