CURED ofBRIGHT'S DISEASE.

Mr.. James Clark has, for Is months, suffered
untold misery from Bright's disease of the kid
neys He had great pain and soreness in his
kidneys and across the small of his back, and
more or less soreness all over his body. The
urine voided gave him great pain and con-
tanned much aIbumen and uric acid. He lost
all desire for food, and he could not sleep. He
found his memory fast failing and he grew
weaker and more feeble until he was obliged to
give up all employment. Having read in the
papers testimonials from patients cured by the
physicians of the Polypathic Institute OF dis
eases similar to his, he began treatment with
them. He says: 81 take great pleasure in
stating to the people of Pittsburg that have
been entirely cured of the above disease, and

GIGANTIC BOARDS.

Wonderful Figures from tho Worlds
Greatest Lumber Region.
A lumber pile made of boards each
100 feet long and six feet in width
would be an unprecedented sight in
the East, but a gentleman recently re-
turned from a visit to the coast of the
North Pacific Ocean says that piles OF
lumber such as that are common to
the mills on Puget sound. 'Boards
100 feet long and six feet wide, with
out knot in them," he said, ''are
common cuts from the gigantic fir
trees of the Puget sound forests.
These trees grow to the enormous
height of 250 feet, and the forests are
so vast that although the saw-mills
have been ripping 500, 100000 feet of
lumber out of them every year for ten
years. the spaces made by these tre-
mendous inroads seem no more than
garden patches. Puget sound has
1900 miles of shore line, and all along
this line, and extending thence on both
sides miles and miles further than the
eye can see, is one vast and almost I'M
brok en- forest of these enormous trees.
There is nothing like it anywhere on
the Pacific coast. An official estimate
places the amount of standing timber
in that area at 500. 900, 600, 900 feet, or
thousand years. supply. even at the
enormous rate the timber is now be-
ing felled and sawed. The timber
belt covers 80, 600, 600 acres in Wash
lngton Territory. an area equal to the
States of Vermont. Massachusetts,.
Connecticut and New Hampshire. The
markets for the Puget sound lumber
are entirely foreign. being South
America, Australia, Central America
and the Pacific Ocean Islands,

Many Orchards Ruined by Hasty and In
considerxte Planting.
1have seen so many orchards ruined
at the very outset by hasty and lncon-
siderate planting that / think a few
remarks on this subject not at all out
of place. A lot of trees arrive from
the nursery at time when all hands
are busy at the crops. putting them
into the ground in the spring. It hard.
ly seems possible to get away from the
pressing work in the field; but the
farmer knows that the trees must be
set, and that at once. or they are lost.
Yes, he must set them. of course, but he
can't afford to spend much time. The
ground is hastily plowed. just as he
would pillow it for any other crop, no
doubt, which will be much too shallow
for an orchard. The trees are set in
holes that reach down to the hard
pan. After hurriedly shoveling the
filing of raw earth in about them he
leaves the work with q sigh of relief,
fondly imagining that he has done his
part toward starting an orchard, and
that nothing more need be done for
the trees during that particular season
at least. In many cases trees so set
might just as well have been left tied
up in bundle at the depot for all the
good the owner will get from them.
for the after care, or rather the lack
of it, is apt to be quite on par with
the setting. Those that do not perish
the first summer will be quite likely
to the next winter, and If by chance q
few of the most hardy should survive
a year or two they are quite apt to
succumb to after neglect
The agent, the nurseryman. the sea-
son and perhaps the country are all
cursed as being responsible for the
non-success of the trees so handled.
While there may be much ground for
complaint on these heads ] am thor
oughly satisfied that there are more
trees lost through Encouragement and
downright neglect than through all
other causes combined Have the

TAKING DOWN STOVES.

How to Perform This Dissgreeahle Part
Of summer House-Work.
The taking down and putting away
Of the parlor or sitting-room stove
should not be thought Of until the
weather is sufficiently settled. A few
warm days now and then are no cri-
terion Of the kind of weather that is to
follow. and in q climate like ours
ought not to be trusted. Owing to
this uncertainty. it is hard to say
when the stove may be taken away.
and, where the room is not wanted. il
is much the better plan to keep II
standing. 1t is q strange summer. in
deed. when there are not few days
in which wood fire is welcome, as
well as necessary.
While the fire is still going, in a
stove that is to be put away, throw on
the hot Goals handful of salt which
is to loosen any clinkers that may have
formed during the winter. When the
fire is out, and the ashes removed.
with a cold chisel and hammer take of
the clinkers. If some do not come of
easily it is best to wait another day
and try the salt second time, and
there is not as much danger of taking
pieces from the lining, which are sure
to come when the clinkers are hard to
remove. A handful of oyster shells
is said to be good for loosening
clinkers, if thrown on hot fire and
allowed to burn for some time, remov-
ing the clinkers when the stove is cold.
Clean out the inside of stove when
to be taken down, take down the fun
mel carefully. having laid large news
paper under it to catch any SCOT that
may accidentally be shaken out, carry it
outside, and shake and brush it as free
from SCOT as possible. Carry the stove
into the yard and brush it thoroughly
inside and out Mix stove polish pow
dered fine and melted lard to the con-
sistency of cream, and rub the stove
with it, making sure that the lead gets
into every crevice. Rub over the fun
mel and all accessories in the same
way. Kerosene oil is frequently rubbed
over stoves when putting away for the
summer, but we have found that, un-
less the stove is looked after frequent
ly when stored, the kerosene is likely
to eat the iron. Linseed oil or lard
oil is much to be preferred to kero-
sene, but the lard and lead is the best
of all.
Put the stove away in a dry place,
above all things. A cellar is seldom
fit for storage, even though of the
driest, and a damp one is never to be
used for this purpose. 1t is much bet
ter to let the stove stand all summer
in its accustomed place than to run
the risk of running it. If a cellar must
be used, place under and around the
stove quantity of coarse bagging, and
look at it often during the warm
weather, so that any sign of rust mag
be found and remedied. If in dry
place. the lard and lead will keep it as
free from rust as when in use.-Boston
