any attention to it, not seeming to realize until
too late that other dangerous Diseases such as
bronchitis and consumption, are very sure to

Quick Consumption.
II am happy to say that my wife was cured of
very bad cough and what was called quick
consumption. by Hoods Sarsaparilla. She was
restored to perfect health, which she has enjoyed
ever since. Our little girl was poor and puny;

Sledges for Celestials.

Two wonderful! slcdges have just been
turned out at the factory of Edward
Kuhlstein, in Berlin, to the order of the
Emperor of China. One is for himself
and the other is for his wife.
These slcdges are probably intended
to be drawn along the smooth roads
within the great palace gardens, where
few foreigners ever penetrate, or on the
tops of the immensely wide walls which
shut out the ruler of the Celestial Empire
from the common herd. They will also
be useful in case of snowfall.
The vehicles are built in most luxurious
manner and cost several thousand dollars
each. The walls are dark red, the
handles and mouldings arein rich gliding,
and the Chinese dragon figures every
where in the ornamentation. Inside,
both sledges are beautifully upholstered
with gold silk.-Neao York Journal.

Florida's "Sinks."

Among the many natural curlosltles OF
Central Florida none attract more atten-
ton from the native and the Northern
traveller than the many small ponds in
the section where they abound as 'sinks. !"
They are usually of irregular, round or
oval shape, and are found scattered
throughout the pine forests. Generally
speaking they have neither visible supply
nor outlet, and yet their level scarcely
ever varies from one season to another.
They are not supplied by rains, since they
are generally found in perfectly fiat Sec
tions, where there is but little, if any,
drainage. Their waters are perfectly
pure, sweet and cold, as rule, indi-
eating hidden springs as their source of
supply. Some of them are very deep,
one in particular, in Leon County, which
has depth greater than the combined
lengths of all the sounding lines in the
neighborhood. Nearly all of the Florida
"sinks" contain fish, which, on account
of the crystal clearness of the water, may
be soon many feet below the surface.
How these '"sinks" manage to maintain
a uniform level; whether the evapora-
ton just balances the supply or whether
they have subterranean outlets as we'll as
inlets is still matter of speculation. Pos
sibly the now generally accepted idea
that the whole of Florida rests upon
bed of coral as a foundation may offer
some exclamation of these facts. As the
matter now stands, these "sinks" pre-.
sent the strange spectacle of ponds that
are not affected by drought or rain,
maintaining the same level from year to
year. Orlando, the county seat Of Orange
County, has one of the largest and most
remarkable of these "sinks" upon its
eastern outskirts, almost within the linn
its of the town. 1t covers between one
and two acres, and like the others OF the
same section is always pure and sweet

CLEANING COFFEE POTS.

There is always disagreement among
housewives about how the coffee pot
should be cleansed. Some women take
great pride in washing theirs both In
side and outside every morning with hot
soapy water. Some authorities say, how
ever, that soap should not touch the in
side of coffee pot. One good way is
to wash the outside, and then rinse the
inside thoroughly with clean hot water.
It may then be put on the stove to dry,
and when dry may be rubbed we'll with
a clean, dry cloth. The brown sediment
may be rubbed off in that way, without
the aid of soapy dish cloth. I, how
ever, take a medium course, as once
every week wash the inside of my cof-
fee pot out thoroughly with clean, hot
soapy water, and then rinse several times
with clear, hot or boiling water. After
this, however, regularly every morning,
l use only clean, hot water, etc., as I
I have just described, as "a good way"
to do it. If after breakfast you have
coffee remaining in the coffee pot that
you desire to use again, put it, grounds
and all, into bowl, so that you may
cleanse your coffee pot out as usual

Buffalo Herds a Half Century Ago.

I think I can truly say, writes General
John Bidwell in the November Century,
that I saw in that region in one day more
buffalocs than I have seen of cattle in
all my life. have seen the plain black
with them for several days journey
as far as the eye could reach. They
seemed 70 be coming northward con-
tinually from the distant plains to the
Platte to get water, and would plunge in
and swim across by thousands-so
numerous were they that they changed
not only the color of the water, but its
taste, until it was undt to drink; but we
had to use it. One night when we were
encamped on the South Fork of the
Platte they came in such droves that we
had to sit up and fire guns and make what
fires we could to keep them from run
ming over US and trampling us into the
dust. We could hear them laundering
all night long; the ground fairly
trembled with vast approaching bands; :;
and ifthey had not been diverted, wagons,
animals and emigrants would have been
trodden under their feet.

wNTERING HORSES CHEAPLY.

! It is the custom of farmers in some
places to take horses for winter keep at a
very low rate, sometimes not more than
81 week, and relying on the manure
made by working up unstable fodder for
the profit. A little better feed is, how
ever, better for horse owner and the
farmer who feeds him. 1t should be
compensated either by increased price of
board or by liberty to put the horse at
work one or two days in the week. To-
ward spring, especially, work and extra
grain feed should 60 together if the horse
is expected to do good service the fol-
lowing season. Mules are sometimes
winter fed mainly on straw, and get lit
tie attention on account of the danger
from their heels, being allowed to run in
the yard together, with all shoes taken
off so that they cannot seriously injure
each other. But even mules straw fed,
unless they have something beside, come
out very poor in the spring.-Boston Cul-
ticator.

not saying, however, that good butter
cannot be made in dash churn; it can
be if you know when to stop churning,
and do not pound the life out of the but
ter. There is a right time to stop.
When is it2 Just when the butter is
ready to gather; when it rises readily to
the top of the buttermilk so that the
latter can be drawn off from it. 1t is
then in the granular state, and has "life"
in in. If little cold water is added to
the buttermilk just as the butter is ready
to gather, BY churning agaln very lightly
the granules will quickly form.
If the reader who may have little faith
in the theory just pronounced, will step
into a creamery or butter factory some
time when the opportunity offers, he will
be pleased to see that this "theory"
works beautifully in practice, and we
hope he will then 60 home and edo
likewise And there is right way to
work butter after it is churned, and that
way is not the one usually in vogue
where the over-churning process is prac-
ticed. Do not spat or smooth the but
ter; this breaks the granules and renders
the mass sticky and like paste.-NeU
York Independent.

SELLING STRAW.

Where farmer sells all his straw to
be carried off the farm he is selling fer
tiity and robbing the land. When rye
straw will sell for as much or more per
ton than hay the inducements to let it go
will generally prevail, but something suf.
icient to compensate for the loss should
be substituted. Wheat straw is better
for bedding animals than for feeding to
them, although the dry COWS and young
stock will be benefited by having access
to the straw stacks through the winter.
Whatever they eat will be saved for the
farm in the manure, and while the
nourishment they will get from it will
not be large it will make considerable
saving in hay and fodder. The same
care should be exercised in getting all
that is valuable out of the straw as from
the other farm products; and where
straw is sold for bedding to stables in
the towns the farmer should stipulate
that he is to be paid in manure. Where
SO much is yearly taken off the farm that
does not return in any form care should
be taken to utilize everything that will
retain fertility on it. Bedding the ami
mails we'll through the winter keeps them
clean and comfortable, and they will
thrive on less food than they will on
bare or filthy floors. Besides, it makes
the best use for most of the straw

BLACK LEG IN CATTLE.

Black leg, "black quarter" and
bloody murrain are all one and the same
form of an infammatory fever in which
there is an extensive engagement of
shoulder, quarter, neck, breast, or entire
side of the animal. Swellings appear on
various parts of the body which, when
pressed by the fingers, make cracking
noise. The joints are also affected, and
the animal moves with difficulty. Young
cattle are far more liable to be attacked
by this disease than those four or five
years old, and the most vigorous in ap-
pearance and fattcst are very likely to
die first. This disease often runs its
course so quickly that its victims die be-
fore remedies can be applied or used.
When there is an opportunity for treat
ment, bleeding usually proves beneficial,
especially with plethoric animals. Clear
ing the bowels TO eliminate the poison is
also recommended, giving sulphate Of
soda, tartrate of potassa and common
salt. The sore spots may be sponged
with cold water, and rubbed dry, or
bathed in camphor or oil of turpentine.
DR.. Law recommends giving twice daily
sixty drops nitro-muriatic acid and three
grains bichromate of potassa and two
drachms of chlorate of potassa. The
cause of this disease is supposed to be
pasturing on new, low and undrained
land, which in summer becomes dry,
emitting malarious germs. The bodies of
all animals dying of this disease should
be buried deeply, or, better still, ,cremated.

HOW TO TREAT A SILK DRESS.

Get good silk, but don't trim it to
death, that is, not expensively, at first.
Its gloss and freshness carry themselves
we'll enough, but when it begins to show
wear the velvet and passementerie will
be kind to its failings and give a new re-
spectability.
But if there is certainty of a silk
gown later, our little matron will do just
as we'll, so long as there is baby in the
case, to have something more youthful,
dark clear blue cashmere, or dahlia
faced cloth, with the braided or embroid-
cred sleeves, belt and border to the
skirt. Velvet sleeves and girdle would
probably be more convenient under the
circumstances. Or gay little gown of
check wool, in dark red, blue and black
with bourette threads of vertical lines of
golden russell, made with plain skirt,
slightly draPed in front, and coarse silk
open stitch above the hem, and dashing
little. Norfolk jacket and belt with blue
velvet collar and facings to the cuffs
would be stylish and becoming, while it
would bear the rough handling certain to
come later with the invincible baby.
1t is plain that this Juvenile mamma is
inclined to take things seriously, and
wishes to dress with gravity beyond her
years, perhaps to increase her dignity.
Married and q mamma at twenty is
enough to give one serious views of life,
but it is a mistake to nope in grave
colors so early.-Neao York Herald.

The New National Park.

The new National Park takes in the
entire draining area of the Yosemite, and
much more. 1t embraces the whole OF
the Upper Tuolumne River and the
greater part of the Tuolumne watershed.
1t includes Mount Lyell and its glaciers,
Lake Eleanor and the Mariposa, Merced
and Tuolumne groves of Big Trees. 1t
stretches from Lake Eleanor to Wawona
and beyond, and from Hazel Green be-
low Crane Flat to the highest ridge Of
the Sierra. 1t is about fifty miles in
length by thirty-five in width, and con-
sidcrably exceeds the State of Rhode
Island in area. This magnificent reser-
vation will be by TAR the most beautiful
park in the world. 1t will lack the weird
marvels of the Yellowstone-the geysers,
the painted rocks and the stalagmitic
formations-but in the magni6cence and
charms of forest, cliff and waterfall it
will be beyond comparison.-San Fran

Helen Hunts Odd Monument.

The site of the woman posts
grave just back from the outer
spur of the Cheyenne, in Colo
rado, is now marked by a missharen
heap of stones, which has accidentally
followed out, in sort of grotesque paro-
dy, the shape of huge coffin. The pile
is now about five feet from the ground,
and is growing rrpidly every year. In
accordance with Helen Hunts wish, most
of the pilgrims to this shrine of senti-
ment cast two stones upon the grave,
taking one from it es memento. The
heap is composed of every variety of
mountain mineral, with the granite, field
spar and quartz, which predominant here,
in abundance. The ground for radius
of many yards around the grave is
stripped bare Of every stone, pebble and
boulder of portable size.-Ghicago Neles.

HANDY WAY OF WATERING CATTLE.

dAND1 Wal oc WsiChlNt CA1lLEs
Of late we have advised Witness read
ers to have better facilities for watering
stock, and here is an improvement which
must prove of decided benefit to those
who keep many cattle. Mr.. Willis Brown,
of Dutchess County, N. Y, describes a
new method of supplying COWS with
water in the stables, which is being tried
in his locality. 1t is an iron or wooden
bucket filed by constant stream. These
buckets are fastened to an upright part
of the stanchion, twenty-six inches above
the feeding floor and between the heads
of every two COWS, so that both can reach
it. All these buckets are on the same
level and connected by one and quar-
ter inch pipe, which rests on the sill of
the stanchion and runs from one to the
other through the whole length of the
stable. The water from the outside comes
first into tub IN the stable, which is on
q level with the buckets, and from it they
are supplied. The overflow is carried
away at the farther end. The cost va
ries with the kind of buckets used. If
they are of iron the cost is about $50,
but the expense is soon saved by the ex-
ira comfort and health of the cattle.
Every farmer knows how much discom-
fort and loss come by turning the cattle
out in the winter weather when they can
drink but twice a day, and the timid
ones not that.-Nsw York Witness.

cHuRN1Na AND WORKING BUTTER.

There is wide field for missionary
labor in improving the methods of churn-
ing and working butter. After years of
instruction in better methods through
the columns OF the agricultural press, the
same old evil exists, and we presume it
i will continue to exist as long as butter Is
made in farm dairics. Is it too much to
say that three out of every FIVE farm
''dairiLs where butter is made in small
quantities only, the old dash churn il
still used and butter is smothered and
Ipatted and pounded to death?
AS some ore has said: "The old dash
churn and the gathering of butter in a
lump are twin relics of the unfortunate
past, one of needless hard labor, and the
other Of needless poor butter" VIC arc
