n Reminded Mr.. Allen of Il
Story.

The day after the last national
eleotion Senator Blackburn and
Representative Allen of Miss
issippi---a man who is described by
the Kentucky Senator as the wit
tiest and loneliest looking man he
ever met-were together In the
Capitol building when they were
approached by young editor Hearst
who excitediy showed them IL tele-
gram from his father, the California
Senator. The message ran in this
way.
AS sure as there is God in
Heaven Grover Cleveland has
carried California.
At that time it was well known
that New York State had been
carried by Harrison, and it made
no earthly difference what the vot-
ers of California had determined
their verdict should be. Allen
read the telegram, and then hand
ing it back to the young San Fran
cisco editor said to him solemnly:
"Young man, your fathers words
remind me of an acquaintance of
mine who went out to Colorado
and was thrown from a bronco
pony and killed. His companions
sent this graphic message to his
widow:
"Jim has been thrown by bron-
co, and his neck, both legs, and one
arm broken"
Several hours later they sent
the widow this additional tele-
graphic message:
Later particulars: Matter not
as bad as first reported. Jim's
arm was not broken"

A Big Game Slaughter.

A Summerville wv. Va.) dispatch
says: Henry Murray farmer in
the mountains of POcahOntas
County, has been annoyed and
damaged by the squirrels, chip
hunks and other four-legged pests
which nightly swarmed from the
woods and ate his corn. They
literally destroyed everything be-
fore them until he accidentally
struck upon plan by which he
has destroyed almost all of the
pests. He one day noticed a
chicken which had stepped into
a pool of coal tar. The fowl
wandered about for few minutes
until it's ieet became so covered
with sticks and leaves upon which
it stepped that it could go no fur
ther and fell helplessly to the
ground. Murry, struck with the
idea suggested by the plight of the
chicken, Immediately set to work
and filed large kettle with coal
tar and other glutinous substances,
which he heated.
The conglumeration he spread
thickly upon the top rail OF the
long fence which stretched around
thecorn- field and into the woods.
Before day break he accompanied
with his boys and half dozen dogs,
went into the corn-field, and rails
ing yell, started the affrighted an
imals by the dozen from their work
of destruction. In an instant
long line of gray, brown and STRIP
ed animals were jumping and
scurrying along the top of the fence
towards the woods. Before they
reached the woods many of them
had so covered their feet and sides
with the gummy stuff that they
either stuck fast or fell to the
ground, when they were quickly
dispatched. In the open woods
ut the end of the fence the scene
was an animated one OF rolling,
tumbling squirrels, coons and opos-
sums, with feet, sides and back
covered with the adhering leaves,
sticks,&c., with which the ground
was covered. Sixty seven squirrels
thirty,four chipmunks, three opos-
sums and ten unlucky copns fell
victims to Murray's "tar-heep mix
ture.
A few others succeeded In get
ting into the trees, but they could
not get out of the hunters sight
the feet either sticking to the
branches or falling to hold at all.
In a short time Murray literally
depopulated the side OF the noun
tian OF the pests. II was but

this rule holds good with potatoes
more so than with many other
crops. The bin should be examin.
ed occasionally in order to observe
II the potatoes are keeping well,
and it will pay to assert the tubers
Tor the purpose of selecting the
seed. If this plan is pursued the
quality of the crop will be improv
ed each year.
The popcorn crop is a profitable
one i'm some seasons. 1t is sold by
the pound, grains and cob together
and, as the stocks will produce
from three to eight ears each, the
crop derived from an acre is some
times as large as that obtained
from the ordinary Dents or other
corn field crop. For poultry it is
one of the best foods that can be
grown. The best varieties are the
rice and pearl pop-corns.

spoon and pour on the "bad place."
The soreness disappears, and in a
few days the edge of the nail can
be cut as usual.
2. Nose-bleed: Grasp firmly the
nose with finger and thumb of the
right hand for fully ten minutes,
completely stopping the movement
of air through the nose. 1t will
stop the bleeding, which will not
return. This is the advice of an
eminent surgeon.
8. When you spill the ink:
Hurry for some cold water, an
empty cup and spoon. Pour IL
little water on the stain. The wat
er dilutes the ink, making the
stain less deep, of course. Then
dip it up lightly and quickly into
the cup. Go on pouring clean
water on the spot and dipping up.
You can repeat this until there is
not the slightest mark left of the
accident, no matter how much was
spilled.
To remove a dry ink stain dip
upon it hot milk and rub it. Re-
peat until the stain is gone.

Luxuriant Hair

Can only be preserved by keeping tho
scalp clean, cool, and free from dam
druff, and the body in healthful
condition. The great popularity of
Ayers Hair Vigor is due to the fact
that it cleanses the scalp, promotes the
growth Of the hair, prevents it from
falling out, and gives it that soft and
silky gloss so essential to perfect beauty.
Frederick Hardy, OF Roxbury, Mass,
gentleman fifty years of age, was fast
losing his hair, and what remained was
growing gray. After trying various
dressings with no effect, he commenced
the use OF Ayers Hair Vigor. "It
stopped the falling OUT" he writes
"and. to my great surprise, converted
my white hair (without staining the
scalp) to the same shade Of brOpn Il
had when was % years OF nge."
