There are upon the skin OF every hr-
man being, child and adult alike, 1890
900 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.
gesting the food eaten. It WAS to open
the pores of the skin and to assimilate
the food that DR.. Pitcher formulated
Castoria. Loose bowels, constipation,
feyers and erupticns which are so con-
slant among Infants and childron. and
which kill one-third of all children be-
fore they are five years old, arise prin-
cipally from these TWO causes. 1t is
from the wonderful results attendant
upon the use Of Castor in regulating
the stomachs and bowels ard keeping
open the pores of the skin, that Casto-
ria acquired its world wide reputation
With plenty of water Tor the body,

assimilate the foad, there need be no

ton without morphine or other narcotic

For Nails in the H00f.

You ask practical farmer for
practical facts, writes Ezra Herr in
tac New York Tribune. Here is
one that every owner OF a horse
should know. Nails will be thrown
into the street, despite of all we
can say to the contrary. Have a
small vial of muriatic acid ON
hand, and when IL horse has picked
up nail go tor the vial first OF all,
then get pinchers and pull OUT the
nail; soon as it is out pour in the
acid, before the hoof contracte
then put cotton on top and cover
with tall1w, melting it with n hot
poker. The next morning open
and add more acid, closing as be-
fore. Do this three times; then
apply cotton and tallow only daily
for about week the wound will
then take care Of itself. have
had more than dozen nails, from
heavy spikes down to seven pennys
III my horses feet, and cured them
all this way. Do not pull out the
nail first, and then go for the vial,
AS you will not thus get the acid to
the bottom OF the wound.
l know this TO be reliable, and
only ask fellow farmers TO try ii

Then others and others were pro-

SO maLy toasts-the greater num-

not be drunk without making some
impression on the spirits of the
quick blooded southrons. Nobody
was intoxicated, but there was
buoyaney enough to Aoat balloon

had been spoken.

Every man stood, his head bowel,

WGshingtOn's Personal 1p-
pear0Nce.

Washington had large, thick
nose, AMI it vas very red that day,
giving me the impression that lie
was not 80 moderate in the use of
liquors as be was supposed TO be.
/ found aferward tina. this was q
popularity. His nose was apt 70
turn scarlet in cold wind. He
was standing near small camp
fire, evidently lost III thought, and
making no effort to keep warm.
He seemed 81 feet IN height, was
as erect as an Indian, and did not
fcr moment relax from military
attitude.
Washington's exact height was 6
feet 2 inches in his boots. He was
thea little lame from striking his
knee against tree. His eyes was
so gray that it looked almost white,
and he had q troubled look on his
colorless face. He had piece of
wooden tie around his throat and
was quite hoarse. Perhaps the
throat trouble from which be final
~ died had its origin about then.
Washington's boots were enor
nous. They were No. 10. His
ordinary walking shoes we're No.
IL. His hands were large in pro
portion, and he could not buy a
glove to fit him and bad TO have
his gloves made TO order, His
mouth was his strong feature, the
lips beng always tightly compress
ed. That day they were compress.
ed so tightly as to be painful to
look at.
At that time he weighed 200
pounds and there was no surplus
flesh about him. He was tremen-
dously muscled and the fame Of
his great strength was verywhere.
His large tent when wrapped up
with the poles, was 50 heavy that
it required two men to place il in
the camp wagon. Washington
would lift it with one hand and
throw 1T 10 the wagon as easily as
if it were pair of saddlebsgs. He
could hold a musket with one hand
and shoot with precision as easily
as other men did with horse piss
tol. His lungs were his weak
point and his voice was never
strong.
He was at that time in the prime
of life. His hair was chestnut
brown, his cheeks were prominent,
and his head was not large in con-
trast to every other part Of his
body, which seemed large and boDy
at all points. His finger joints and
wrists were so large as 81 be genu-
inc curiosities. AS to habits at
that period | found out much hat
might be interesting. He was an
enormous eater, buo was co tent
with bread and meat, if he had
plenty of it. But hunger seemed
to put him in rage. 1t was his
custom to take drink of rum or
whisky on awakening in the MON
ing.
OF course, all THE was changed
when he grew old saw HIM at
Alexandria year before he died,
Ills hair was very gray and lis
form was slightly bent. His chest
was very thin. He had false teeth
which did not fit, and pushed his
under lip outwsrd.-Albany Ex-

Onions for Nervous Prostration

Those who are in the habit of in
dulging in raw onions may be con
soled for the mature ind able bod
led odor which wraps them as in q
veil, and causes men, women an d
children To dee from their ma odo-
rous vicinity, by the fact that
onions are the best nervine known.
No medicine is really so eilicaeions
10 cases of nervous postration and
they tone up worn out system in
a very short time. Their absorb =
ing powers are also most valuable,
especially in times of epidemic. 1t
has repeatedly been observed that
an onion patch in tho immediate
vicinity of q house acts as n shield
against the pestilence, which is
very apt TO pass over tho inmates
Of that house. Sliced onions in n
sick room absorb all the germs and
prevent contagion. During an
epidemic the confirmed onion eater
should, however, eschew his usual
diet, as the germs Of disease are
present in the onion and contaQion
can easily resnlt.-G obe-Demo-
