The Chautauqua Circle held its reg
ular nesting on Monday night. The
attendance was very good. The menl-
bers responded 10 roll call by giving
some item of historical interest con-
nected with Canada.
Miss Dora Cudabac then entertain
ed the audience by an instrumental
solo, which was very pretty, and well
performed.
The leading feature of the evening
was a debate, participated in by
Mcssrs. Huntington, Durrow, Byers
and Wood, the subject being: Ore
solved, that the annexation OF Canada
to the United States would be a mu-
taal benefit to both countries"
The question was very well argued
by both sides, but was decided by the
committee, consisting of Mcssrs. Car
ley, DAIMLER and Colmcr, in favor of
the negative. Canada will therefore
have TO remain out in the cold a while
longer.
After a very sweet song by Miss
Flora Cudabac, and some miscellane-
Gus business, the Circle adjourned.

Care Of Umbrellas.

After coming in out Of the rain let the
umbrella down and stand it on the han
die, that it may dry in this position; the
water will thus drip from the edges Of
the frame and the cover dry uniformly.
When placed with the handle upward,
as is frequently done. the water runs to
the top of the umbrella and the moisture
is there retained in the lining under
meath the ring for some length of time,
causing the silk or fabric with which
the frame is covered to become tender
and soon rot. Ordinarily the top of an
umbrella wears out sooner than the other
part of it. and in the majority Of cases
may be thus accounted for. A silk UNI.
brella is much injured by being left
open to dry; the silk becomes stretched
and stiff and will sooner split thus cared
for. When not in use let the folds lie
loose, not fastened down, the creases are
less apt to split from this usage. Dis
pense with all umbrella case except in
travelling, as protection from dust and
cinders. To the friction from the case
is partially due the minute perforations
that appear in the silk in spite of all care
and expense in purchasing. When car
ried in the hand in anticipation Of fall
ing weather, the folds may be strapped
down as it adds to the neatness OF it's ap-
pearance. -Nea0 TorG I2dependent.

Home Cheese Making.

For the manufacture of cheese on a
small scale are required cheese hoop
about ten inches in diameter with fol
lower, a new washtub and press. The
milk should be taken perfectly fresh
from the COW and strained through a
cloth into the cheese tub. AS a gallon
of milk will make one pound of cheese
the precise quantity at a time should be
noted. Part of it should be warmed,
so that the temperature of the whole
when in the tub shall be raised to eighty
three degrees Fahrenheit. The rennet.
thoroughly cleaned or prepared, should
then be added, enough being used tC
produce cuTdling in abour forty minutes
AS soon as the curd will break smoothly,
it should be cut with curd knives into
squares and then allowed to stand until
the whey runs OF. Part of this whey
is then heated, the mass Of curd is lifted
and broken in minute pieces and warm
whey is added until the the temperature
of the whole is raised ninety eight de
grees Fahrenheit When cool this oper
ton is repeated until the curd becomes
crumbly, easily falling to pieces when
pressed in the hand. The whey is Their
all drained off and the curd put into the
cooler and cut up with curd knives
when the temperature has fallen some
what it is turned over and left until il
assumes faky condition. When nearly
dry salt is added, and the whole is
mixed thoroughly with curd mill. Il
is then put into the bandage inside OF
the hoop, and is put on the press. At.
ter remaining there from two to four
hours it should be taken out and turned.
The next day it may be taken from the
press and put on a shelf to cure.-Ncu

Causes OF Diseases in Fowl.

One of the commonest plaques Of the
fowl-keeper is the scurvy. 1t is really
no easy matter to keep a flock of fowls
clear Of it, for sooner or later it will peep
out here and there in spite of all precau-
tons which may be used. The greatest
cause is usually dampness in their quar-
tiers or runs, and can often be rcmedied.
If filth is permitted to accumulate IN
the nests or coops, the fowls will be sure
TO show this disease. It can be cured by
pouring kerosene oil over the affected
parts. But better remedy. though not
quite as quickly applied, is to make a
salve of lard and tower of sulphur, and
rub on once or twice.
The universal use of corn is the cause
Of nine-tenths of the soft heled eggs,
leg weakness and other ailments. 1t is
too heating and fattening fed alone.
Oyster shells and bone meal will not
help matters, as they act mechanically,
the same as gravel and cinders, and no
amount of them will assist a corn-fed
hen to lay hard shel!ed eggs, or a young
chick to grow sound bones. The corn,
fed horses Of the West are VIGOROUSLY
weak in this respect, and the breaking
and swapping of bones is not an infre-
quent occurrence there.-Tdrm, Field

Queer Stories Of Horses.

A Bayville (Ga.) horse which lost all
his teeth has been fitted with a set of
false ones.
A horse in Norwich, Conn, swallowed
a large ball of Irvine the other day, and
had to be held while two men pulled the
cord out of his mouth, unraveling it inch
by inch.
A drover in West Plains, Neb., has
trained one of his horses to go out and
drive the cattle home. At about five
o'clock every evening the animal starts
out unbidden and duly appears in the
course of an hour at the heels of the
herd.
Cowbows in Franklin County, Texas,
frightened a wild pony into dashing
blindly over a precipice into a river
thirty feet below. After the lapse of
few moments the pony appeared, climbed
on to the opposite bank, and dashed
away, apparently uninjured by his big
dive.
A Maryland horse has developed a
wonderful appetite for oysters. A pail
of the succulent mollusks was recently
left in his stall by mistake. He at once
devoured them, and since then he mani
tests the greatest delight when any of
the bivaIves are put where he can get
them.
James McCloud, of Lodi, owns horse
on his Dakota fam which has eight feet.
1t is perfectly formed in all respects, ex-
cept that it has eight feet. Not until
the pasterns Or fetlock joint is reached
in the descent from the shoulder to the
foot is there any apparent difference be-
tween the horse and any other. But at
the pastern joint, or lower end of the
shin bone. the branch begins. and two
perfectly formed feet are found on each
of the four legs. The horse runs on the
range the same as any and as fast as most
of them, and all eight feet are shod, OK

Postal Card Well Filled.

When some antiquarian of the future
reports that citizen of Belfast wrote on
postal card the whole of one of the
annual messages of President Cleveland
the inference will be that President
Cleveland was a man of few words, but
the inference will be wrong. The mess
age contained Is, 900 words, yet Mr..
Kila Kittredge got it all on the card
with steel pen and ink, each letter, as
seen through microscope, being beau
tifully formed. Moreover, a border
three eighths of an inch VIDE is placed
around the card, representing string
of beads, ffty-two in number, each
three-sixteenths of an inch in diameter,
and most of them containing the Lords
Prayer; 1000 words are put into this
border Mr.. Kittredge is seventy seven
years old, and says he could get $4,000
words on postal card. 1t took him
forty-fve days to write this ne.-Leac-

No sensible surgeon will attempt the per-
Torrance Of an operation involving human
life in a room secluded from the proper
amount Of light. A practitioner will not
attempt the diagnosis of complicated dis
ease unless he can see the sufferer and make
an examination upon which to base his
opinion relative TO the course or treatment
necessary TO bring about complete reSIora-
ton Of health
Notwithstanding the improperly Of such
action there seems TO be great deal Of doc
toring done in the dark.
By this it is not intended that Literal
meaning be inferred, but that a great many
mistakes are committed because Of the dark
ness which is the result of ignorance. 1t
needs no illustrations TO demonstrate that
gross ignorance has caused many fatal mis-
takes to be made in the treatment OF diseases
by those who profess 30 be learned IN the art
Of healing.
In many diseases several organs are more
or less implicated and what seems primary
aiiment may be one quite remote. For in
stance, a severe headache may have its
origin in disturbed stomach. On the other
hand, sickness at the stomach may be caused
by blow on the head. The seat of typhoid
fever is in the upper part OF the bowels, but
most Of its worst symptoms are often IN the
brain.
Symptoms Of disease as we'll as diseases
themselves are oftentimes followers or con-
comitants Of some unsuspected organic dis
ease and this is peculiarly true of lung, liver,
brain and heart diseases in general for it is
now known that they are the result of kid
ney disease, which shows its presence in some
such indirect manner.
Several years ago a gentleman became
convinced Of the truth of this, and through
his efforts the world has been warned of kid
ney disease, and as result of continued eff
fort specific known as Warmers Safe Cure
was discovered, tie general use of which has
shown it to be Of inestimable benefit in all
cases where kidney treatment is desirable or
necessary.
When consumption is threatened see to it
that the condition of the kidneys is imme-
diately inquired into, and if they are found
Warmers Safe Cure, and the symptoms Of
lung decay will rapidly disappear.
There are too many instances already re-
corded of the terrible results produced by a
lack of knowledge concerning the cause of
disease and human life is of too much i'm
portance to be foolishly sacrificed to bigotry
or ignorance
