An Ancient Coin.

While little son Of Mr.. w, L.
Adcock, ofChurch Hill, was digging
into a nest of bumDle-bees on his
farm he unearthed a Spanish dollar
100 years old. The place was near
tho root of q stump upon the edge of
a sink-hole and the coin came up
with the roots of bunch Of weeds
pulled up. 1t is almost as bright as
when new, though II is just a centu-
ry old and had been buried for per-
haps the greater part of that time.
On one side was the Spanish coat of
arms and the words "Hispan. Et. Ind.
Rex. M. SIX. Il. NJ" On the other
side was a cast OF the Kings profile,
surrounded by the words "Carolus

Our Natal Day.

The "Glorious Fourth" was as
pretty and pleasant summer day as
one could wish 10 see. A balmy
breeze made the weather delightful
and all nature seemed to be spreading
herself for the occasion. The day
was observed by the public offices as
holiday, but the public generally
gave no evidence of any unusual pat
riotic feelings.

sudden and occurs when the animal is

weakness in one hind leg. which will
be thrown out toward the shaft or

asuaiiy occurs to the driver is that

chances of recovery are very much di.

In the meantime, after reaching the
stable apply water as hot as it can be

FARM AND HOME.



When II requires double the time 10
mature ons animal that it takes to
mature another. and then after ma
turity the slow maturing animal is not
worth as much ms the rapidly matur-

production of meat is profitable in

scrub stock does not possess the quality
Of early maturity. The thoroughbred

respect and at almost every fair held

10 the satisfaction of every one who

TO begin at the fair. Take the trou-
bic to inquire as 20 the age of the
Shorthorn. Hereford, Polled Angus and
Galloway exhibits. and then compare
the animals with those of the same
age that are within your knowledge.
Frequently the two classes stand side

complete opportunity to make The
comparison. It is very true. and it
ought not to be forgotten, that as

Household Hints.

You can mako cloth waterproof by
vanishing it with linseed oil, coating
with solution of rubber in naphtha.
To take ink out Of linen-Dip the
ink spot in pure melted tallow; then
wash out the tallow and the ink will
come with it. This is unfailing.
To protect children's clothing from
fire-Add one ounce OF alum to the
last water used in rinsing clothes. This
renders them uninfiammabIe.
To revive old silk-When silk has
lost its gloss and becomes llmpsy it
may be restored by sponging with a
solution of half an ounce of gum trag-
acanth in pint Of hot water.
Earache in any form is said to be
quickly relieved by filling the ear with
chloroform yapor from an uncorked
bottle; vapor only, not the liquid.
Ten drops upon 2 lump Of sugar is
also considered an excellent remedy
for hiccough and ordinary nausea.
Keep your stove blacking-brush and
plate handy, and after dinner each day
brush off your stove. and you will find
it much nicer than washing It off; be-
sides. with an occasional brushing
your stove win always look nicely. and
if your stove is not kept looking clean,
