There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, anu until the last few years
WAS supposed to be ineurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
local disease. and prescribed local re-
nj dies, ard by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurabe. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease. and there

A Spanish Bull Ffehter.

espadas, francisco Sanchez and Louis
Mazzantini. The latter I have known.
Perhaps the most famous of all mata-
dores, the espada primero Of the world, is
Francisco Sanchez (alias Lagartijo). He
is probably the most daring, skiilful bull
fighter that ever lived. His handling of
the wild and savage bulls Of Jaraina is
something marvellous. He now seldom APP

Cardinal Newman at Ninety.

cardinal Newman, who is now in his
ninetieth year, was able on Whit Monday
to attend mass ut the orstory, Birming-
ham, the occasion being the feast Of St.
Philip Neri. says the London Nens. By
st. Philip Neri the first orstory was estab-
lished, and the society known as the Con-
gregation of the Oratory was organized
under the permission of a bill dated July
Is, 1875. The english house was founded
in lS47, and owes its celebrity to its being
the place selected by Cardinal Newman for
his abode after his submission to the Ro-
man Catholic church.
on Whit Monday is in part attributed to
the keen desire to see the venerable cardi-

THE e
A Country Sittinp.Room

There is nothing prettier in a country
s~itting-room thar q few pieces Of rattan
furniture, either in natural color with
cushions OF India silk, or enamelled in
white and gold and fitted up with striped
tapestry, cretonne, or any artistic ma
terlal the owner fancies. There are two
kinds of furniture classified under the
head of rattan-the genuine rattan and
the reed or wicker. The wicker chair is
less expensive than the rattan, but it is
not to be despised for this. reason. It
certainly possesses one advantage over
rattan-it cannot be twisted into such
preposterously ugly shapes as rattan
has been by some manufacturers. The
nature of the material prevents it being
woven with backs in the shape of Jap
anese fans and various other styles
which are parodies of Oriental art.
The Chinese chairs that come to this
country are combinations of rattan and
wicker-work. It is difficult to get these
chairs here in rs fine a quality as they
nre made. The American rattan-work
is liner than anything that comes from
China, but the shapes. are far inferior
to the Chinese or English work. The
English make q delightful student chair
in wicker-work, with o basket ut the
side for papers. 1t has a high, square
back, a broad, roomy seat, and is made
more comfortable by the addition of soft
tufted cushions, which can be removed
when necessary to be beaten. It is
altogether an example of the excellent
efect of using material in q manner
adapted to its nature.-NeW York Tri-
bune.

Management of Young p,,s.

If only two litters of pigs are bred q
year they may be allowed to suck until
eight or even ten weeks old, the last two
weeks being given to those rather I'M
dersized, so as to bring them up to the
average and make an even lot. We
have known the titman by an extra three
or o u weeks pull at the teat to grow so
that it could hardly be distinguished
from the best. But long before the
weaving is accomplished the pigs
should be taught to eat, and given three
or tour times a day all they will eat up
clean. Some milk should if possible
form a part of the ration. To this may
be added fine wheat middlings, ground
oats or peas, and q very little corn meal.
1t there is no milk to give withhold the
corn altogether, With q good run ut
pasture or in o bearing orchard the pigs
will make a large growth before fall,
and be ready if we'll fed for killing at
any time. The SOW will take the boar
three or four days after the pigs are
weaned. 1t is important that her milk
flow should stop SO soon US she is with
pig, hence such milk producing foods
as bran and fine middlings should be
withheld at least for q week or two. The
trouble will be to keep the SOW that has
been sucking a lot of ravenous pigs
from growing too fat when they are
taken from her.

Gates Instead of Bars.

A necessary p%recaution in THE manage
ment of q flock is to use gates instead
of bars, to all Enclosures used by the
sheep and lambs. To let down bars at
one end frequently causes a broken leg,
the sheep stepping between the bars and
getting fast, fracture the bone in efforts
to free themselves. When such an acct
dent happens, the injury may be easily
remedied by wrapping the broken limb
with stiff paper, wetted and dipped in a
thin paste of plaster of paris. This is
wrapped in a bandage of cloth treated
in the same way and fastened with strips
tied around it. In IN hour the plaster
sets and the bandage becomes stiff and
firm. The bone thus supported heals in
three or four weeks. Broken legs Of
poultry may be thus mended, and larger
animals may be treated in the same way
if supported in slings until the bone
unites. Thus it is not necessary to kill
a valuable animal when it is thus dis
abled.

THE STOCK RANCH,
Dat for Young s1ock.

Oats we'll deserve their reputation MS
the best feeding grain for young ami
mails. For calves, this grain is espe-
cially useful, being digestible and con-
tanning in the right proportions the
different elements of nutrition. The
large proportion of husk dilutes the
more concentrated kernel of the grain,
and furnishes the rough and coarse
material which is required for the
beautiful digestion of the grain itself.
of good, sound oats twice o day with
benefit, while two quarts twice o day will
be excellent for a weaving colt. Oats
contain the required material for bone
and flesh; hence for young, growing
animals they are the best grain food
that can be given to them.

Whena Woman Is Well Dressed.

The general woman is the woman
you know and I know, you like and I
like. She has and wit enough to
realize that the most expensive FASH
ions are often the keynote to the devel-
opment ofpretty coats and frocks in less
costly fabrics. If she is wise she will
study out the colors and stuffs that suit
her best. She will buy each frock
and gown with the thought to that
which is already in her wardrobe, and
in this way will avoid inharmonious
effects. Gowns, gloves and hats in
harmony are what, after all, make q
weu.dressed woman. They need not
absolutely match, but not a color must,
as the French people say, Swear at
each other The general effect must
be that gained in a many-hued flower,
each shade blending into each other
until perfection is obtained, and the
woman, like . flower, is a symphony in
tints. Mrs. Mallon, in Ladies Home
Journal.
