Foreign advices inform us that Buffalo Bill,
on q recent Sunday, turned away {, 600 people
from his show 1t IS not stated whether he
turned them away because he thought il was
wicked TO attend shows on Sunday, or just
because there was not room enough in the
tent. Unless Buffalo Bill has lately and ma
terialy changed, the latter, is the most rea-
sonable suggestion.

How to Obtain Health.

The great secret of unvarying health
is before every thing, to have a body
in high state of vigor, and once hav-
ing that to keep it. There is less wis.,
dom in studying the ways of curing
an ailing frame than in giving your at
tention to those OF obtaining hearty
one that never becomes ailing. A
proper physique sheds pains, aches.
disorders, illnesses, diseases, epidemics
as a duck does water, and enables its
owner to laugh at doctors bills. 1t
confers upon its possessor happiness
amid the heaviest misfortunes and
gives the surest promise Of longevity.
TO obtain it, have some regular BUSH
ness that will give you an interest in
life and make you alive all over,
without over-working you; shun
care and worry; be systematic in
your habits; avoid dissipation; sleep
enough; eat plain, wholesome food. the
best OF the kind, and, above all. devote
yourself methodically to some athletic
pursuit, such as will give you exercise
all round, and spend all the time you
can in the open air. Then forget you
have body that can by any possibility
get out of order, and never think Of
your health. Nesoburypor Herald.

Safe Burial Of BowIders.

Having buried many large stones, l
affirm that the dangers incurred is
very slight if the work is attempted in
the right manner. Do not dig under
it at all. Keep the excavation about
six inches from the nearest side OF the
stone. Make it long enough. wide
enough and deep enough to contain the
stone with room to spare. When the
hole is dug, then with long-handled
tools carefully remove the six-inch
shell of earth as low as you can reach
easily without taking any risk OF being
crushed. A plank laid along the further
edge of the hole may give you some
advantage in digging. Next dig mar
row trench along the opposite side OF
the stone from the excavation. Make
this trench close.to the stone and part
| ly under it. Now pour water into the
trench, and keep on pouring until the
earth underneath is softened into mud,
when the stone can usually be slid
without much trouble into the hole.
A lever can be used to give it a start.
Farm Life.

fields, later peas, sweet potatoes and
ground peas, large numbers OF hogs
can be grown and the expense, as COM
pared to the income. scarcely appre-
ciable. To raise hogs successfully,
and at profit, we have only to get
ready for it.
The main reason, / imagine, why
farmers do not give more attention to
raising hogs, is the destruction
caused By contagious diseases. This
objection can not obtain in any
more force with us than at the
West Nebraska. recently, suffered
loss of two million dollars from swine
plague. and Iowa nearly as much. In
deed. know Of no section any moro
exempt from the ravages of disease
than the States at the South. No adj
vantage, therefore. can be claimed
over us in this particular. The meat
We buy has been grown under the
same chances for loss as that we raise.
After getting pastures and crops ready
we must use the best means known to
prevent losses from disease. In this
connection it may not be amiss to say,
that have never lost my hogs from
disease, when gave them turpentfne
regularly-one teaspoonful to each
hog once a week. / shall not under
take to give the reason for the remedy.
/ state only the result.
Possibly the best argument for rails
ing our own supplies is found in the
fact that those farmers who live at
home, invariably have money. while
those who buy what they eat are al
ways financially pressed.
| / can not believe it pays to delay
time and waste food on inferior stock.
We do not want hogs two years old be.
fore they are ready to be slaughtered.
Get the best breeds, such as develop
rapidly. push them early, give them
good care and constant attention

Long John Wentworth. who recently
died in Chicago. used to tell this story
of how he got the name by which he
was so well known: When / was going
TO school down in Connecticut / was
the longest and skinniest boy you ever
saw. was fourteen years old. used
to have habit in those days OF getting
my heels up on the seat, 50 that my
knees lowered above my head. I was
sitting that way one day in school,
when one OF the examiners came
around. He. said to the teacher:
whats that boy doing stading up on
the benchp Why don't you make him
sit DOWN." The teacher said was
sitting down. "Who is hep" asked the
Examiner. ..John Wentworth said
the teacher. ''He's a pretty long
John" said the examiner; and ever
since that day the name has stuck to
ms.-N y. San.
