An awful Spectacle. Doctors useless. Cure
hopeless. Entirely cured by the Cuticura

am going to tell you of the extraordinary
change your CUTICURA REMEDIES performed on
me. About the list OF April last noticed some
red plmples like coming out all over my body,
but thought nothing of It until some time later
on when it began to look like spots of mortar
spotted on, and which came OF in layers, &C
night until was raw, then the next night the
scales being formed meanwhile, were
scratched of again. In vain did 1 con
suit all the doctors in the country
but without aid. After giving up all hopes of re
coVery, happened to see an advertisement in
the newspaper about your CUTTCURA REMEDIES,
and purchased them from my druggist, and OBJ
tanned almost immediate relief began to no.
tlce that the scaly eruptionS gradually dropped
on and disappeared one by one, and have
been fully cured. I had the disease thir.
teen months before I began taking the CUTI-
CURA REMEDIES, and in four or five weeks
was entirely cured. My disease was eczema

REMEDIES to all in my vicinity, and 1 know of q
great many who have taken them, and thank
me for the knowledge of them, especially moth

shInIess Farming.

That farming is too often carried
forward in a happy-golucky way may
account for the large number of
shabby buildings, dilapidated fences,
and rundown appearances of the
farms generally. The owner may be
more often found Iounging about the
village saloon, or dawdling about
the streets in an aimless way, than
at work on the farm. This is the
extreme case. His children are poor
ly clad, but often clean, for the poor
wife may be struggling to do her best
by them, despite the intemperanee of
the husband. If the husband is
struggling to better himself and fam
lily, the buildings and fences will be
kept in decent repair until the time
comes when BETTER can be built, and
the farmer will be found at home,
working earnestly to this end. He
is not unthrifty. Years may come
and go. A good vegetable garden
will be cultivated, and trees here and
there will be planted to give needed
shade and protection. The time as
length arrives when, the mortgages
having been lifted, a modest house
is built, and barns and sheds are adj
ded. The stock is thrifty and ac-
cumulating from year to year,
the farm becomes more and more
fertile and somethinglike the picture
of the home of Farmer Thrift is pre-
sented to the view of the passer by.
Fortunately, in the West, compar-
atively few surroundings of the first
class are found. There are however,
enough to keep in mind the fact that
thrift in agriculture means careful
attention TO the work in hand, and
that an accurate knowledge from
month to month is necessary to
bring the balance at the end of the
right side of the ledger. Young
farmers, commencing to carve out
a farm, which picture will be your
aim through liie?-Prairie Farmer.

"LoYe Your Enemies,

When the Eighth acknowledgement
was in louisiana one of the officers
was taken very i'll, and left in charge
of a picket post. A woman living
near by urged him to come TO her
house, as the climate was malarious-
He declined her hospitality, but be-
fore long became so much worse that
his companions carried him to the
house in almost dying condition.
Mrs. Sparks-this was the good
woman's name-preceived his almost
desperate case, but had no medicines
nor could any be procured nearer
than New Orleans, ten miles away.
What could she do for this enemy2
Her husband was infirm, and the few
negroes who remained to her were
old and decrepit.
Moreover, it was late in the after
noon, and rain was falling heavily;
but something she must do, even
though the sick man was in arms
against her government.
She sent one of her servants to the
house of a neighbor, five miles dis
lance, and this woman, a violent
secessionist, went herself to New Or
leans, through drAnching rain, for
the medicine. She Travelled fifteen
miles in the storm AMI darkness, and
crossed the Mississippi river twice,
and all to save the lite of an enemy.
The officer remained in the house for
six weeks, and was cared for most
assiduously. Such deeds are worth
recounting; they go far to redeem
the horrors of war.-Youth's Com
panion.

To Secure Married Happiness.

The solution is simple. This is to
be done by not trusting to the love
10 take care of the marriage, but by
using the marriage to take care o.
the love. This lisa point that few turn
over in their minds. 1t is well worth
1rooding over. The secret of happi-
ness is in it. Young couples marry
ior love. Then they say. each in his
DR. her heart, 'Now we are safe, the
reefs are passed, we love each other,
and are married; all is done; our hap
oiness is made; love takes care Of
that; we viii ride at rest in the har-
Dor"
Fatal errorl Love itself must be
taken care of. 1t belongs to the class
Of fine things that win not thrive
without exceeding care; only weeds
grow without looking after. This is
The best definition of weed-a plant
that thriyes on neglect. Weeds have
been defined POLITICALLY as plants of
ghich we know not yet the use. Ali
But let a use be found, and instantly
we shall need to improve the plant
Then there is tussle with it; and
then it is not weed. What if one set
out q rare rose bush in bed, and
say. .SThere, now grow" but never
tend it, dig about it, shade it2 Yet
Just so many unthinking young coup

There, bloom now!n ond go about
their business; and their plant of
Paradise becomes dried up and eaten
Of canker worms. tbs done before
they know it. They discover it when
they go for a flower and find none.
Therefore we repeat, Trust not to
love to take care of the marriage; tits
the business ofthe marriage olook af-
ter the love. This must be done as
one takes care of anything else, by
forethought aud invention. They
must plan for it, be ingenious for it,
Let the wife consider in the morning:
sHow can | send my husband off for
the day with bit of attention that
will cling to his neart till he comes
back to mel" Let the husband ask
himself: "What can / invent now
that will show my wife that I've had
thoughts of her in the midst of bust
ness cares?"
Let each do that frequently, and
give mind to it, and say: Il must
take care of that love; it is too cost
ly bloom to let droop." Our word
for it, that is kind of inventiyeness
in which every one viii succeed who
will give mind to it.-Detroit Free

Artificial Derormity.

From the New York Press.
The great trouble with the man of
the present day is his feet. The
average complexion is well enough
but the average foot is a fright. Al
most every man you see has an
enormous protuberance on his big
toe-ioint, buttons, | think they call
them, which is far from pleasing to
the sight or helpful to the gait. l
suppose this is occasioned chiefly by
the high heels worn by very young
men and very silly women. Nature
intended the heel TO be fiat on the
ground, butfashion not only hoists it
UP an inch or two, but sends it for
ward toward the middle of the foot.
This of course jams the toes into a
a contracted space, and a growth
which, ifnormal, would be all right,
being abnormal seeks room where it
most easily can find it, and the con-
sequent is Disagreement ola very
essential and interesting portion OF
our anatomy.

Agricultural Notes.

Cayenne pepper in moderation is a

Eating to the internal organs.
The winds Of this season viii make
sad havoc with the fiocks if they are
exposed, and especially should the
hens be protected atnigbt.
When man is frightened or angry
his digestive organs do not work;
this is also true of an animal-hence
the profit of keeping it in a peaceful
and fearless state by kind treatment.
In fattening hogs, have dry
ioored pen and plenty of clean bed
ling. Dispense with that half of the
pen generally allowed for roofing in
the ground.
1t is an old belief that an animal
that goes into winter quarters fat is
half wintered. Perhaps there are
none OF our domestic animals to
which this saying is more applicable
than tosheep.

question about the economy of TAX

few farmers who will take the trouble,
and the least they can do is to see
that the chilly watering places arc
not rendered inaccessible by ice block.

When the horse after working is

with mud on feet and legs, if he isnot
hot and the weather be warm, the
legs and feet may be Immediately
washed with moderately cool water,
and then rubbed dry. But if the

rubbing dry a thick flannel cloth be
wound around each limb, and kept
there till it becomes warm, and no
moisture left remaining. The cloth
may then be taken of, and there will

the case unless this precaution is

The American Girl.

1t may fairly be acknowledged that
the American girl is the girl of the
period. What she may become in
the future nobody can tell. At pres
ent her destiny seems superb. Her
father finds silver, strikes oil, kills
pigs by the million, and raises corn
by the square mile. She is pretty,
can talk well, does not know what
Difference means, and enters Europe
full of money. IF he but shake a
travelling cloak, Down our Appian
roll the scudi, said Mrs. Browning's
Roman of John Bull. 1t isstill truer
of the little girl whom Uncle Sam
does his best to spoil by unlimited
tenderness and innumerable cheques.
As a result of her beauty, her smart
ness, or her wealth-sometimes all
combined-she has French mobiles,
Italian princes, and English dukes at
her feet, and can capture coronets at
her will. Sometimes as Henry James
and Mr.. Howells point out, she is
not so eager for these ornaments as
might be expected. For the truth
must be told-marriage does not
seem to the fair American what il
still means to the majority of En-
glish women. Whether we call it a
virtue or a fault, she can do without
it. French women, their countrymen
say, are not blameless as wives, but
perfect as mothers. Young Ameri.
can ladies of culture do not greatly
desire, it is said, either to be wives OF
mothers. 1t is well, then, that they
should come to English soil to find
for themselves the attractiveness o.
English nurseries and homes. They
will learn here that no queen in socie
ty has so true throne as the wife

Naval YARNS.

The story has been attributed to a
former secretary that under his first
visit to man-of-war he expressed
his astonishment at finding ''the
darned thing holler." The yarn,
from frequent use, has become some
what threadbare, and the following
has been substituted: Shortly after
IA new secretary had assumed charge
of the department he made a tour of
inspection, and while on board a
craft in process of construction, was
asked to define the proper dimensions
of a hatchway. It was something OF

Clover For swine.

1t viii be a sign ofprogressive farm
ing when the owner of swine saves
clover for his hogs in winter, or goes
further and preserves in a silo sweet
corn with which to winter and help
fatten his hogs. The possibilities OF
hog rearing with the right kind of
silage are beyond reckoning. We
must have more hogs on the farm to
make more fertility. The cost OF
wintering is the present drawback;
but with clover, silage, and roots
there may be an immense increase
with corresponding profit. A good
breeding SOW is n good investment,
with little more faith in the natur-
al food for swine.

Care Of Cattle.

II the cattle are turned out of
doors to drink or forexercise, do not
let them remain out to long. and
guard against their having to plunge
through snowdrifts or against slip
ping upon icy places. A little ex-
ercise in the open air in pleasant
weather is beneficial to all animals,
but a half-hour in each afternoon is
enough when the thermometer marks
below the freezing point in the sun,
and is too much in cold rain or n
clustering cold wind. Perhaps the
young stock, if well fed and lively
enough to caper and play about the
yard, may not be injured by a longer
season out of door, but they should
be taken in before they begin
to hump up their backs and turn
their tails toward the wind.-Cultiva-

A strange HaIlncInatIon.

A panic recently occurred at
Shanghai in connection with the
building Of the cathedral. The idea
rot abroad that the municipal coun-
iii wanted certain number of hui
man bodies to bury beneath the
foundation of,that edifce; a general
dread of venturing out after night
fall-especinlly of going past the
cathedral compound-prevailed for
weeks with all kinds of variations
and details. A similar notion was
snid TO be ut the bottom of the riots
which broke out last autumn at Sc
IN. Foreigners-the missionaries for
choice--were accused of wanting
children Tor some mysterious pur-
nose, and the mob seized and decapl-
lated in the public streets nine 20
rom officials who were said to have
heen parties to kidnapping victims to
sunply the want. This, however,
seems more akin to the curious de-
sire for infantile victim which was
charged against missionaries in the
famous Honan proclamation that
preceded the Tientsin massacre, and
which was one OF the items in the in
dictment agaii the Roman catho-
lies on the occasion ofthat outbreak.

How 10 MIA a Cow.

The most economical way to milk
a COW, all things considered, is to
milk the two fore teats clean, leaving
off with a pretty full stream, and
then milk the hind ones down to a
short stream, and, returning to the
fore ones, milk them to thesame con-
dition, not touching the hind ones
again. This will leave the teats
empty, and the bags too. 1t is a
false notion that Juggling away at
the teats stimulates COW to give
more milk; but, on the contrary,
employing the bag as soon as possible
yields more; then the COW can have
the extra time to eat, which is bet
ter stimulus than either. A slow
mixer is never tolerated in the dairy
districts, and ''stripper" is an iniu-
nv anywhere. The sooner the cow is
MIXED, and all the organs connected
with feeding, digestion and secretion
are left in their natural condition, the
better it is for the cow.-Rural Cana
