What is ScrofuIa

tits that impurity in the blood, which pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings on the
glands of the neck; causes running sores
on the arms, legs or feet; developes ulcers
in the eyes, ears, or nose, often caus-
trg blindness or deafness; is the origin
of cancerous growths, boiis, pimples, or
"humors." 1t is more formidable enemy
than consumption or cancer alone, for scrof-
ula combines the worst possible features of
both. Being the most ancient, it is the
most general of all diseases or affections.
How can it be cured? By taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla, which, by the cures it has
accomplished, has proven itself potent
and peculiar medicine for this disease.
Some of these cures are really wonderful
If you suffer from scrofula in any of its
various forms. be sure to give Hoods Sar-
saparilla trial. Send for book of cures.

A Cunning Restaurateur.

"Why do you keep it so blazing hota"
inquired patron of the proprietor as he
entered restaurant ''Because it is cold
outside" replied the proprietor. After
the patron had left the premises the
restaurant proprietor confidingly made
the following confession to newspaper
man: "You see, I've been in the bust
ness for a quarter of century, and my
experience has taught me that under
ordinary circumstances men devour
more food at single meal in piercing
cold weather than when the outside
temperature is moderate. When first
embarked in the eating house business
| was green enough to economic in
wood for heating the premises, imagining
was thereby saving money, but soon
discovered my mistake as the patrons of
my restaurant devoured such inordinate
quantities of food in winter that bank
ruptcy stared me in the face 1t was
here learned lesson from a cook, and
through which have since acquired a
snug fortune. My cook ate barely
enough to sustain life in canary bird,
and inquired the cause of his lack Of
appetite. He replied that it was due to
his being constantly employed about a
hot fire, and remarked that if would
keep my restaurant red.hot in winter my
boarders would not consume one-half
the amount of food. tried the expert
ment and soon found that whereas l had
heretofore saved probably $40 month
in fuel by half-freezing my boarders,
that was saving at least twenty cents
a meal in the decrease in the amount of
food each one consumed while the
premises were kept red hot. - FirgiRia

Carpets Of Pine-leaf Fabrics.

A new industry, which promises great
things for those enteringit. is that of the
manufacture of pine leaf fabrics. Pine
leaves are abundant and cheap, and if,
as claimed, very good article of car
pets or mating can be made from them,
there is, apparently no reason why the
industry should not be made a paying
one. By a peculiar process in the
progress of manufacturing the material,
an oil valuable for its medicinal proper
ties is extracted from the green leaves,
which are then boiled in water, mixed
with alkali to remove the silica OF which
the leaf covering is composed. 1t then
undergoes series of operations to soften
and release the fibres and is finally dried
thoroughly and packed in bales.
Through all of these processes the straw
retains its peculiar aromatic odor. When
made into carpet it resembles the finer
grades of cocoa mating so closely that
were it not for the smell, which is said to
give an additional charm, it would be
difficult to distinguish one from the other,

tion Of large size, and especially leave
knots split only so much as may be nee
essary to put into the stove, for the reason
that coarse wood burns slower and makes
coarser Goals when burned, and may
therefore be considered much more
durable, At the same time there should
DO sufficient quantity finely split SO
that a fire may be kindled in the quickest
possible time, Those who enjoy the
constant heat of continuous coal fire
know little of the discomfort Of occupy
ing ten or fifteen minutes in building a
fire under unfavorable conditions.
After the wood is prepared for use, IL
should remain exposed for time in or
der to aid the process of seasoning, and
then it should be placed under cover,
carefully piled up, and remain ready for
future use.
Even if the wood itself is dry, it is
not a comfortable duty to dig it out Of
the snow in winter to secure it for use,
and this can be avoided il it is properly
sheltered, as it should be.
With the variety of opinions regard
ing the best woods for fuel, it may be
said that considerable depends upon
how it is to be used; for burning green
some kinds are far superior to others,
but when seasoned any will answer the
purpose, although there is always
preference for the harder and more com.
pact varieties.
The hard birches, hickory, ash and
and oaks, are good and will not fail of
making good heat. Some of the soft
are equally as good, but are consumed
much more rapidly, which is objection
able for winter use. NJ York Observer.

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

There are beautiful songs that we never SIN I
And names that are never spoken,
There are treasures guarded with jealous care
And kept as secret token,
There are faded flowers and letterSdim
With the tears that have rained above them,
For the tickle words and faitheSs hearts
That taught us how to love them,
There are signs that come in our joyous hour
To chasten our dreams OF gladnsss
And tears that spring to our aching eyes
In hours of thoughtful sadne S.
For, the blithest birds that ring in spring
VIII Tit the waning summer,
And lips that we ssed in fonlo,t love
Win smile on the first new conner
Over the breast where the lilies rest
In white hands still forever,
The roses Of June will nod and blow,
Unheeding the hearts that sever,
And lips that culver in silent grief,
All words of hope refusing.
Will lightly turn to the lseting joys
That perish with the using.
Summer blossoms and winter SHOWS
Love and its sweet elysian,
Hope, like q siren dim aud fair,
Quickening our fainting vision
Dropping spirit and failing pulse,
Where untold memories hover,
Eyelids touched with the seal of death,
And the fitful dream is over.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
A Pretty Floral Decoration.

A very pretty foliage decoration for
rooms or Conservatives can be made of a
white sponge. Fill the sponge full Of
rice, canary, hemp, grass or other seeds.
Then place it In a shallow fancy glass
DISH. The prett'cr the dish is, OF course,
the prettier the decoration will DO, Pour
water IN the dish; the sponge will absorb
tins. Keep enough water to always have
the sponge moist. In a short time the
seeds will sprout and make the sponge
look very pretty, The dish can then be
placed or table, or the sponge can be
suspended without the dish Ia some posi-
ton where IT is exposed to the sunlight.
IL must be well watered, so that the
sponge is always moist, and it will then
exhibit mass of delicate green foliage.

Farmers FueJ.

Comparatively few farmers employ any,
thing but wood as fue! for family use.
There is every reason why this should be
so; upon most farms where there is much
extent OF timber or wood laad, there is
generally enough dead wood to furnish
all the light fuel for summer, and the
| cutting of timber for necessary repairs
Will go far toward affording the supply
for winter, when the demand is n ore
severe. In any event, the farmer who
has wood growing upon his farm, which
he can by turning on his labor convert
into fuel, and so secure'a supply without
any cash outlay, will be likely to resort
TO- that means in preference to any
other.
A wood fire requires considerable at.
tention in order to secure the best re-
suits, but for general use both summer
and winter, for family purposes there is
nothing better.
And yet, counting the value of the
wood standing, the time required in cut
ting to haul, hauling, and time required
to prepare it for use at regular wages, the
cash value would prove an obstacle to its
use.
AS before stated, because it can be Sc :
cured wholly without any cash expendi-
ture, aud because it can be cut and pre-
pared for use when there is no other
work of the farm pressing, renders it the
popular fuel among farmers.
But in order to secure the best results,
wood should be thoroughly seasoned be.
fore 1t IS used In burning green wood
that is filed with sap or moisture, there
must be certain amount OF evaporation
carried on before the fuel will burn, and
certain amount of heat must be en-
ployed in the process: how much of that
heat can be utilized during the process it
Is difficult to determine, but it is rea-
sonable to suppose that but small
amount of it can be made available.
Then there is lost in burning green wood
Just as much heat as is required to ex-
pei the moisture from the green wood.
When there is years supply in adj
vance no Il ouble in this line need arise,
and if it is desirable to occasionally use
stick of green wood to regulate the
heat little better, or to prevent too
rapid combustion of the dry, it can be
used.
1t is always best to perform the labor
required in the woods to get ready for
hauling in the early winter, or what is
better, in the late fall, SO as to take
advantage of any favorable condition
for hauling, and SO as to have a supply
at hand for the employment of spare
hours.
If wood is to he hauled upon snow we
much prefer cutting in eight feet lengths,
as it requires less hauling and is fully as
convenient for chopping at the wood
pile. In cutting a thought should be
had for the season of year in which the
bulk of the pile is to be used, aud place
by itself that hich is smaller and light
wood iot summer use. In preparing for
the winter supply it is very good
economy to leave considerable proper.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Cattle Stalls.

An excellent arrangement for cattle
stalls, says New York Tribune CORE.
spondent, consists in a feeding rack for
coarse fodder raised about three feet
from the floor and the top pitching to-,
ward the animal, Under the rack at one
end Is n feed.box for fine feed. The
animal, of course, must be fastened with
tie. When it is eating from the rack
mark on the floor where the toes of the
hind hoofs rest; then spike to the floor
just even with and forward of the mark
a round stick, flattened on one side and
about four inches thick. When eating,
the animals hind feet will stand outside
the stick, and the droppings will fall
there, and when it desires to lie down it
will step over the stick and put its head
down under the rack, as the stick is so
thick 1t will not rest its hips on that.
This style Of stall obviates the necessity
OF drop in the floor, and the animal
keeps cleaner and rests better; but each
stall is only suitable for cattle Of the
same length of body.

Preparing Bees For Winter

One OF the many problems for the bee
keeper to solve is: "How to winter bee.
successfully" There are a number OF
ways, each of which have their advo.
Gates, and many practical bee men are
successful In winterng their bees in a
cellar, IN burrying them in a cave and in
wlntering them on their summer stands.
1t is OF this last method of which intend
TO write, as 1t is one that is generally
used by the average farmer and is as
practical and gives as good results as
any.
The qualifications for successful win
terings are First, plenty of bees. Sec.
ond, sufficient amount of food in the
hive Third, proper protection from the
cold.
There are generally plenty of bees in a
healthy colony as long as the honey is
beng gathered freely. In this section
the honey flow lasts till the first frost.
About this time it is we'll to examine
each colony, and if weak one is found
unite with one that is stronger. One
strong colony is worth half a dozen
weak ones for wintering.
II any of the colonies have at least
thirty. pounds of good honey in their
hive they should be fed honey, or sugar
syrup enough to make up the deficiency.
A good syrup for feeding bees is made
by dissolving five pounds of granulated
sugar IN one quart of water heat until
1t forms smooth syrup, feed to the bees
while warm.
The matter of protection is a harder
one to deal with. Ii your bees are not
lntchatf hives they must be protected
from the piercing winds and cold storms
OF winter. If there is thick hedge or
tight board fence to the north and west
OF the apiary the chances of winterinp
are much better. Extremes of tempera,
ture should be guarded against, This
can be done by banking the hive with
straw and covering with boards, leaving
the entrance open so the bees can tiv
should there be continuous smell of
warm weather during the winter, Or
the farmer can use such protection as his
ingenuity suggests only that the result
be the same. He who cannot think and
invent for himself will never make sue
cessful bee keeper.
Alter protecting the bees from the
SIDE we must try to keep the warmth
from the cluster in the hive by placing
chaff cushions, folded newspapers, leaves
or something of that sort above the
quilt covering the bees. Always re.
member to put some bent pieces of wood
or some other device between the quilt
and brood frames to allow the bees to
pass from one frame to the other. If
your bees are in chaff hives, as thew
should be, all that is needed is to protect
from above, as already described.

warming Water for Farm Amin ais

The question, Does it payl has been
propoundea to several dairymen who
have warmed the drink for their cows in
cold weather, and every one has an
sweTed, Yes. How could the answer be
otherwisel il the water is not warmed
for the animal, it must warm it itself. In
the stomach the water is brought to a
temperature of nearly one hundred de-
grees. When the animal warns the
water, it uses its food for fuel. If corn,
hay, ETC., were burned by the stockman
to warm the water, then there might be
no gain; but he uses much cheaper fuel.
1t is hardly more trouble to put fuel
under tank than to give the animal the
extra food required for the heating of
the food in the stomach. Tank heaters,
are now manufactured, and by using
them the water can be heated easily and
economically. Heating the water pays
for the further reason that cold water
taken into the stomach arrests digestion
and then causes loss of food. whereas
warm water stimulates the digestive
organs to vigorous action. The animal
that drinks water at the free ling point
is chilled and encrvated. -dmeri an
