Mr.. S. H. Curtiss, of Waverly, Iowa,
can take the medal for discovering
how to preserve the corn from the
ravages of the gophers. 1t cost the
farmers of Iowa $4,000, but here it
is for nothing. Smoke the seed just
as you do meat One Mr.. True
smoked before Smelling, Mr.. Curtiss
after shelling, putting it in gunny
sack. He found cases where they
dug down to the corn and left it I'M
harmed and not a kernel did they eat
of the smoked seed while some hills
planted with unsmoked seed were
every one dug up and destroyed.
This is worth the price of this paper
for long time to every reader.-Ex.
Good advice always: An exchange
truthfuHy says: When you want
mechanic, or laboring man, employ
worthy citizen, a neighbor who will
use his wage-money in purchasing
your goods. When you want any ar
ticle of merchandise, buy it of reput-
able home dealer that the profit may
remain to enrich the community. All
these people help educate your child
rem, share your tax burdens and help
make your city the desirable place it
is. Send your money abroad only for
what you cannot purchase at home.
Home talent, home labor, home indus
try, home capital and home pleasures
are things to be fostered, encouraged,
patronized. Show your patriotism in
every day life as well as in the annual
Fourth of July celebration.
The last horrible fire reported oc-
CURED at Washington last. Monday.
The house of Secretary of the Navy
B. F. Tracy took fire in the early
morning, and for some almost I'm
accountable reason, three of the in
mates, including the wife and daugh-
ter of the Secretary, persisted, and Mr..
Tracy sustained such injuries that at
first he was reported past recovery.
Subsequently he rallied, and the pros
poets are now favorable. 1t is sup
posed that the smoke so quickly filed
the house that most of the inmates
were rendered partially unconcious,
while asleep, and were not aroused
until the fire, which had spread be-
meath the floors, burned through and
broke into fierce blaze on striking
the air and spread everywhere. A
police officer who rushed into the
house found Mrs. Tracy trying to drag
her unconcious husband to the window
to save him. Flames were close
about them. He seized the form of
Secretary Tracy and hurried it out.
In the mean time Mrs. Tracy, almost
asphyxiated, leaped from the window,
and, falling upon the pavement, re-
ceived injuries from which she soon
died.

The Father of Photography.

What fact more commonplace to our
mind than the Photographic process Of
portrait takingl Many of us remember
the original form of these sun pictures
the daguerreotype, specimens of which,
once in awhile, we draw forth from some
unexplored drawer, carrying us back to
the forgotten days of childhood. It was
no further off than 1888 that Madame
Daguerre, the wife of the inventor of tho
process, had an earnest consultation with
one of the medical celebrities of the day
concerning her husbands mental condi-
ton. After acquainting the physician
with the many indications of Daguerres
mental alteration, she added, with tears
in her eyes, that the concluding proof of
his insanity was his absolute conviction
that he would succeed in mailing his own
shadow to the wall or in fixing it on
magical metallic plates.
The physician listened with profound
attention to this eliminating evidence
of mental arrangement, answering that
he, himself, had observed in Daguerre
strong symptoms of madness. He closed
the consultation by advising that her
husband should be sent quietly and with
out delay to the well known lunatic asy
lynn, Bicetre. Two months later the
world of art and science was stirred to
its center by the exhibition of number
of pictures actually taken by the new
process. Arago, in January, 1889, laid
an account of the process before the
Academic DIES Sciences, and soon the
climatic" was beralded "a the father of
photography.

NOW TO DRESS CHILDREN.
The Material should be Fine, al
though the style may be very Plain.

Ladies' Home Journal
The maternal pride that prompts all
mothers to dress their children as we'll
as possible under adverse circumstances
also induces them to spend many an
hour over their clothes without begrudg-
ing either the labor or time. Fortunately,
the most appropriately dressed girls are
the plalnest clothed; but, by being plain
In style, it docs not follow that the little
irock Is not to be of dainty n2terial,
tastefully made aud in becoming man
ner. Do not put too somber color
upon a sad faced child; neither have all
around sashes on stout little figure,
which requires tapering effects.
A little thought will soon settle this
part of the task, which is the simplest.
Blouse suits of the cottons initiating
flannel; lawn tennis flannel, which is
part cotton, and all wool blue and white
flannel and serge are the most comforta-
BILE of play dresses, and for little ones
nothing can replace them. Iftrimmedin
any manner, let itbe with cotton orwoolen
braid, according to the material Of the
dress. Sew the gathered skirt, which is
amply full and hemmed, to a silesia I'M
derwaist, and have sailor blouse, with
the regular sailor collar and coat or shirt
sleeves, with round neck or tiny band
as preferred. Misses wear the blouse
suits made in similar style, and their
half worn skirts may be entirely worn
out with two or three odd blouses made
in this fashion, or as belted waists of
wash surah or striped tennis flannel.
Nainsook for gimps may be had
ready tucked, or the white embroidery
can be used. Separate gimps are ad-
vocated, as they are easier to wash.
White frocks are of plain nainsook or
embroidered houncing, twenty-seven
inches wide. Those Of last season may
be remodeled by adding waist belt of
insertion, vest of the same and revers of
edging over a tucked gimp, If the
skirt is too short, lengthen it with row
of insertion let in. Plaid and striped
ginghams are always neat with accesso-
ries of embroidery, and small figured
sateens are frequently made over for lit
tie ones and worn with the inevitable
gimp, which is called an American
idea," though it originated in France.
Any dress to be made over for young
girl can have new sleeves, yoke and skirt
border of tartan plaid wooden goods, cut
bias. This may be used for any plain,
dark wooden goods, and if the renovated
dress is of striped material the extra
portions added are of plain cashmere
Their sleeves are full, collars high, or
plated and turned over, and the skirts
are usually full and gathered Round
waists, jacket bodices and pointed basques
having full fronts, are worn by young
girls, with full vests, girdles, half belts
and cuffs similar to those worn by older
girls. The only silk addition made to
their toilets is Of surah or India silk j.

DO YOU LOVE ATHLETICS?
If SO, Read What One of the Eend-
ing Athletes of merica nys.

america leads the world in all athletic sports,
and New England leads America"
The above remark, made by the president OF one
OF our New England colleges upon Pettitts re-
cent victory, is true. There never was an age,
even in classical times, when so much attention
was given to, and enthusiasm displayed about
athletics as at the present time. Men, women
and children are enthusiastic over them. People
of all ages and both sexes play lawn tennis until
they are weared, pull rowboats until they are
fatigued and applaud trained athletics in base
ball and other games until they are exhausted. 1t
has become craze.
There can be no doubt that, when properly
done, exercise is beneficial; but did 1t ever occur
to the athletic enthusiast that all games and con-
tests demand a tremendous expenditure OF nerve,
muscle and brain force? Why should people De
tired or exhausted II the brain, nerves and mus
Giles were not tagged? Every movement OF the
body exhausts, and violent exerton exhausts ire
mendously. All persons who indulge IN any form
of athletic exercises should-must- exercise the
greatest care.
The above remarks were occasioned by recent
interesting talk with Mr. Geo. Wright OF the wen
known firm of Wright & Ditson, dealers in athie-
tic supplies, $50 Washington ST., Boston. Inere
is no man in America better known, or VINO mas
contributed more to the cause OF true atnletlcS
than Mr.. Wright. For years he was known as tne
king of base bal players" and even today, ne
has few equals ia al that goes TO make Up gooa
marks, he said:
"During the past spring did not feel in the
best of health. do not mean to say that this is
strange, because most people, during the past
season, have been out Of sorts, but was troubled
with tired, languid feeling-a thing quite I'M
usual to me- was not what might be called

That Is what Paine's Celery Compound did for
me-"
The experience of Mr.. Wright furnishes an ex-
ceedingly valuable lesson, and especially to all
New Englanders. 1t shows that, no matter how
good the constitution and how perfect the health,
there are times when WEAKNESS, oyerwork and
exhaustion demand that nature must have assist
ance. 1t proves that, when such times come, the
best and most modern of scientific discoveries
should be used. rather than any cheap nostrum.
Improves that this grand compound, which has
done so much for restoring the health, preserving
the strength and prolonging the life of thousands
of people, is worthy of the highest confidence,
and it should become. as it already has become in
numberless cases, a "household remedy"
