ENORMOUS SHIPMENTS.

Frequent shipments of carload lots

country, are necessary to supply the
unprecedented demand for these world
famed remedies. No other medicines

larity which they enjoy. No other
medicines possess such superior and
positive curative properties as to war

A NEW COW TIE.

This Appears to He an Excellent Device.
am pleading for the COW, writes
O, II. Smith, of Cattaraugus County, N.
v, in the Rural New Yorker, in de-
scribing the device shown in this
article. The picture hardly needs any
description. A is standard plank one
foot wide and two inches thick; B is q
lever one inch thick, tapering in width,
being two and one-half inches at the
wide end and one inch at the site" end;
is the slat bolted to the standard
with pieces inserted between the slat
and the standard, so as to leave space
in which the lever Is held in place
while allowed to work up and down
freely; d is a bolt fastening the lever
to the standard; Z is peg on which the
ring on one end of the chain is hung
When the COW is let loose the ring
should be hung on the peg. When she
is to be tied she puts her head and neck
over the lever and the chain is handy
to go around her neck. The chain from
each lever is always to be hung on the
next standard. The lever has the mo-.
ton of the cows neck-when she is up
the lever is up; when she is down the
lever is down.

THE LADIES' LUNCHEON.
1t Frequently Rivals in Elegance the Din

ner of Ceremony.
BY process of evolution, almost as
gradual as that of the development OF
the human species, the early dinner has
become merged into the luncheon, sc
that instead of the old formula of break
fast, dinner and tea, we have the modern
one. which calls for breakfast, luncheon
and dinner, the old-fashioned supper be.
ing almost a thing of the past.
For many years after the luncheon
became an established institution, it
was the informal meal of the day, hur-
riedly eaten, and mostly composed OF
what had been left over from the dinner.
The luncheon of the present, even en-
famille, has but little affinity with that
of the past, often being as ceremonious
and as carefully prepared as the late
dinner. 1t is, however, essentially a
lady's meal, for few men possess suf.
ficent leisure to enjoy this repast in
their own houses
America can claim the honor of in
augurating the lady's luncheon, with it's
ten courses, its hand-painted menus and
it's flower-bedecked tables. These
lunches frequently rival in elegance and
ostentation the dinner de haute cere-
monte, the sole difference being that
the ladies do not come in full dress. On
these occasions they wear handsome
visiting toilettes, retaining their hon
nets, although, of course, removing the
gloves Dresses of heavy texture should
be eschewed, as the apartments in this
country are generally overheated; the
smaller and lighter the bonnet the more
comfortable one is apt to be, and there
seems really no reason why it should be
worn at all.
AS gentlemen are excluded from all
participation in the ladies' luncheon, a
delightful absence of formality is the
result, and in consequence the liberty
of saying just what one pleases is fre-
quently abused. Often choice dish of
scandal is served up with a sauce
piquante, but in the best houses the
hostess frOwns upon all unkind and
flippant remarks, and If she is possessed
of tact, she can readily turn the tide of
into some less dangerous
channel. To discuss the shortcomings
of ones servants and the cute sayings
of ones little ones is both uninteresting
and in very bad taste, when there are
80 many matters of current interest
upon which one can converse.

"A warm salt bath is very refreshing
to any one suffering from the exhaustion
of travel or of a long shopping expedi-
tion-which is as trying to mind and
body as any thing that can be under
taken by woman. Away from the sea-
shore very simple substitute for sea-
water is cup of rock-salt dissolved in
warm water and added to the bath.
When the salt is irritating to the skin,
take warm bath and sponge off with
mixture of violet or lavender water and
alcohol, about half and half, and rub
briskly with warm friction towel.
Such a method prevents the exhaustion
and danger of cold which follows warm
bath-N " Tribune

Taking Care of Young Turkeys

1t will soon be time for the young tur-
keys, and as they are very tender, some-
thing should be done for them before
they are hatched, and that is to get rid
of lice from the old birds by cleaning
up their roosting places and dusting
them we'll with insect powder. Hum
dreds of young turkeys die because of
the large, gray lice that infest tho heads,
and as these pests never show them
selves, they are seldom seen. They
pass from the old birds to the young
ones, and the loss of young turkeys is
often ascribed to some other cause than
lice, simply because the lice can not be
found, though they are doing the injury.

ued: mo clocks wanted. No rugs

| Modes of Life.
Charles Louis Freycinet, who has just
become Prime Minister of France for the
fourth time, is furtive-faced, insignifi-
cant-looking little man Of enthusiastic
manner. He is sixty-two. He is also
the clever husband of an ambitious wife.
He has perpetrated several works on
mechanics and political economy, and
his intimates call him the white
Mouse"
Professor John Tyndall the famous
scientist, has sparse, gray beard, but
shaves his upper lip. He is a cantan-
kerous controversialist, who does not
care always to be polite, but lives in
comfortably contrived house, walled off
from the public gaze by ungainly fences
the height of the house, constructed by
himself of scaffolding poles covered with
wattles and dead heath. He does not
believe in miracles, knows more about
the glaciers of Switzerland than any
half-dozen other men put together, and
is married to dukes niece, who is
young enough to be his daughter. He
is an Irishman by birth, and his years
are seventy-one.
Edmund Clarence Stedman, the poet
banker, wears full beard, has rare
collection of autograph letters, and gives
Sunday evening rece ptions to which the
elite of the literary world delights to re-
sort. He is ia nimble-footed, bright-eyed
man of kindly manner, and divides his
time about equally between literature
and banking. He can talk of books and
authors at length without being fatigu-
ing and brings the double acumen of q
student and man Of business to bear
upon his analysis; but the idea never
occurs to him of talking on any subject
on which he is not thoroughly posted;
and when he quotes any thing, which is
he docs not quote mething
else by mistake. His reading imper-
ceptibly leaks out in his conversation,
for he has great memory, and he is
one OF the most accurate men that ever

FOREIGN SERVANTS.
An Exploded Fallacy Touching the Do
mestic Service Business.


mestic Service Business.
"The theory that great many house,
holders have" the head of large fam
lily remarked yesterday, that it is a
good policy to get a servant from the
other side of the water and break him
or her in to suit the requirements of the
household ought to have been pretty we'll
exploded by this time. / have expert
mented upon it three times during the
last five years, and i shall mover be
caught by it again. 1t takes about eight
months to teach raw German, Irish or
Swedish girl her business. After she
has thoroughly learned 1t she usually
requires from ten days to two weeks TO
make up her mind about the exact hour
of her departure, Then she disappears
and takes service in another family,
and her instructors are left feeling
vaguely about for the object of their
crea ton. 1t is curious thing that
some Of the most valuable servants in
Europe become utterly worthless when
they are imported into this country.
Like many other Americans have been
struck by the efficiency OF
servants in English households, and
both my brother and ! have imported
several women from London to act as
and housemaids. We have
never found them at all available. Their
heads become turned almost immediate-
ly after they have arrived here by the
iifferent conditions governing the rela-
lions of master and servant and they
are nearly always unable to do any
hing outside of the beatem paths of
heir duties. American servants must
nave an all-around efficiency. An En-
slish servant, II she is housemaid,
would no moro think Of performing the
minor functions Of a cook than she
would consider it feasible to write short
,and with her toes. Hence the domes-
ic difficulties which English servants
learly always inspire here.--N. Y. Star.

Rising at morning or evening from some
lowland, often carries in its folds the
seeds of malaria. Where malarial fever
prevails no one is safe, unless protected by
some efficient medicinal safeguard. Hos
tetter's Stomach Bitters is both a protec-

its, or sojourns in u miasmatic region of

flying agent, which is also the finest known
remedy for dyspepsia, constipation, kidney
trouble and rheumatism

The Usual Outcome.

AL1TE, La, June 28.-The alarming re-
ports that have been in circulation for
some time that misled colored people of
this place held frequent night meetings
and we're procuring arms and ammuni-
ton from many quarters to use against
the white people in a race conflict they
contemplated to bring about, events re-
Gently would establish the fact that they
we're not groundless, and the white peo-
pie had good reason to prepare them
selves Oh a war footing. About 7 o'clock
this morning several gunshots were
heard about a mile above town. Shortly
after George Howard, the most desper-
ate negro in the parish, came in on a horse
wounded in the arm by a Winchester
ball, and reported that he had been in
tercepted on his way to work by an
armed posse of white men and shot.
Within five minutes after Howard ar
rived there was a simultaneous charge
on the town from every road, of armed
men on horseback, numbering about 200.
The greater part of them were disguised.
They surrounded the important squares
of the town, killed George Howard,
wounded three others, and siezed a large
number of fire arms. The crowd then
left.
