Remedies.

Ihave been afflicted for 20 years with an obsti-
nate skin disease called by some NJ. d. 's Psori-
asis, and others Leprosy, commencing on my
scalp; and, in spite of all could do with the help
of the most skillful doctors 1t slowly but surely

my entire person in the form Of dry scales. For
the last three years have been unable to do any
labor, and suffering intensely all the time. Every
morning there could be nearly dustpanful of
scales taken from the sheet on my bed. some Of
them half large as the envelope containing this

One Hundred Boats Lost in st. Mary's Bay
Still Sail Its Waters.

One Hundred Boats Lost in st. Mary's Bay
Still Sail Its Waters.
New York Tribune.l
The legend of the spectral fishing feet of
St. Mary's Bay is of more modern ori-
gin. In 1862 fishing feet, homeward
bound from the Grand Banks, was driven
by stress of weather into 81. Mary's Bay.
The storm increased in fury, and 100 boats
went down on that August day in the
storm-tossed waters.
There are now hundreds of fishermen
ready to swear that ever since. when they
haveisought shelter in fog and storm in st.
Mary's Bay, they have caught glimpses of
phantom feet, heard the Tapping of the
sails and the shouting of the sailors when no
fleet was there. This may be accounted for
by the fog, which nearly always hangs
about the bay, for any one who has sailed in
fog knows that he can see and hear almost
anything he pleases in it.

THE NEW HAMPSHIRE MUDDLE.
Clerk Jewett Files His Answer to the Demo-

CONCORD, n. H., Dec. 27.-Clerk Jewett
filed this afternoon the answers to bills en-
tered against him by the Democrats in con-
nection with the makeup of the roll OF the
next House of Representatives. He AYERS
therein that he has refrained from deter
mining any question that may arise on the
certificates, and he says he supposes it to be
his duty to put on the roll II names, men,
toned in the petition, provided the proper
certificates are presented, and that he now
intends to nut them on unless he shall be-
come satisfied that such is not his duty,
But, nevertheless, he prays advice, in
struction and decree of the court as to his
duty in the premises.

kept in good condition by this law. Chronic
violators of the law and old-timers are to be
kept indoors at labor and their work goes
10 the support oil those on duty inside.
This plan also relieves prisoners from the
evils and vitiating influence OF asso citation,
and the Commissioners believe it to be salu-
tary prison reform.
A close and careful examination has been
made into the management of various State
institutions, like the soldiers orphans
schools, the asylums for the insane, the hos
pitals benefited by State appropriations, the
blind and dumb asylums and the reforma-
tories. The report embodies recommended
tions of reform in this part of the system.
The commission had before it statistics
taken from pamphlet laws passed in the last
decade showing that the State has appro-
priated in various sums $40 000, 900 to $780,
600, 900 to blind and deaf asylums, hospitals
and other institutions, in the distribution
and use of which the State has had no
voice
To Keep Track of Expenditures.
The public treasury has been literally
public grab bag and beyond the record of
the law and warrant of allowance there has
been nothing done. The commission finds
that the management of these institutions
consists of boards of managers and directors,
the only qualification for membership being
a small annual subscription, in some cases
amounting to So only. The report recon-
mends that the State shall make provision
by act of Legislature for an inspector or
board of inspectors, who shall be represented
in every governing BODY of the institutions
receiving State aid and who shall give an
annual statement on the expenditures of
every such institution.
SC al MI Ia doa nf
sponsibility on the boards. Under the
present system it is always difficult and in
some instances impossible to ascertain the
disposition of appropriations made by the
Legislature. This is not the case at asylums
for the insane like Dixmont, Warren, Har-
risburg, Danville and Norristown, nor in
the case of soldiers orphan schools, ,retorma-
tories or the penitentiaries, where annual
reports submit almost every matter to proper
inspection; but abuses at the blind asylum
in this city and Irregularities in others show
the need for State inspection and constant
vigilance.
Must Have a Head.
The commission will recommend plan
to secure some uniform system of accounts
by compulsory statements showing what be-
comes of every dollar of the appropriations.
The main idea of the Commissioners as mar
rated in their coming report is to have
definite head and a defined responsibility at
taching to all institutions and this head is
to be held to strict account for all funds and
aid given by the State. The members of
the commission believe that their work has
really begun. 1t is complicated, intricate
and irving, far beyond any expectation had
in the beginning and they have labored
earnestly to cover great deal of ground.
The report touches caustically and at
length on abuses in certain public institu-
tions, particularly the blind asylum in this
city, but the nature of The recommendations
is kept secret.

The Capital Can Muster Enough Farmers for
an Organization.
WASHINGTON, Dec. N.-Very few peo-
pie outside of the Farmers Alliance are
aware of the fact that that order has an AL
lance in working order in this city. The
local membership is not large, for the num-
Der of farmers in the district is necessarily
small, and as a fact there would be no Or
ganization in Washington were it not for
the fact that many National Alliance Off
GERS are located here.
This part of the great agricultural camp
is known as Capital Alliance No. %, and is
under the jurisdiction which controls the
State of Maryland. Farmers, farm labor
ers, country mechanics, country physicians
and country preachers alone are eligible,
and these must all be men OF good moral
character. Infdels, merchants, lawyers and
all persons connected with or employed by
corporations of any kind are shut out.

THE NATURAL GAS SUPPLY.
Fort wavne Factories Will be Deprived OF
1t for a Season.


1t for u Season.
FORT WAYNE, IND, Dec. 27.-Consid-
cradle apprehension for the continuance of
the hitherto abundant supply of natural gas
has followed the announcement by President
Paul that after January 1, the railroad
shops and all manufacturing establishments
will be expected to resume the consumption
of coal. Gas has been denied to the local
electric light power station for several
weeks.
! Reviewing the situation to-day, President
Paul stated that the economical order was
promulgated, not because OF any expected
failure of gas supply, but because it was
feared that the amount the big 40 mile main
could deliver to this city would beso largely
used by manufacturers that private con-
sumers might suffer. A second and larger
main will be laid to the gas fields this
spring.

The Fall Calf.

The fall calf has as much potential
proitableness as has the spring calf,
says writer in the American Agricult-
urist- But to make it actual, more and
better care is required. The most crit
ical part of the animals life is the first
six months. During this period the
spring calf has pasture and favorable
weather, but the fall calf has neither.
and must therefore, have the better
care. My fall calves are generally sup
posed to be two years old when they are
only eighteen months. To make them
profitable they must have extra care,
which gives them increased value. I
give them full milk until they are q
week old. Then change gradually to
skim milk. After two weeks of age, as
good a calf can be reared upon skim
milk as from whole milk, provided
is added to take the place of
the cream. For this nothing is better
than oil meal boiled to a thin jelly. Per-
sons not accustomed to its use are moro
likely to use too much than too little of

The Monarch Of tho Farm.

OF all creatures the bull is the most
favored. He is king, major, general and
autocrat Of all about him. It is no won
der that people have been found to re-
gard the animal as sacred. The bull is
q four-legged John Sullivan. Once In
awhile somebody is found who looks at
his bullship and thinks or saws:
''You great arrogant lazy loafer,
You ought to be put to work. It
would do you good and take some of
the kinks out Of you" But sure as that
idea is advanced, somebody else
bobs up and says: THAT is a very
pretty theory, but there is too m UGH
danger connected with working bull
to make it practical" and so Mr.. Bull
continues to be boss of the whole farm.
The idea of working the loafer is part
of the design to make him harmless.
He is dangerous, partly because he has
nothing else to do but concoct deviltry.
Nobody expects that q full-grown, inn
pudent, believing bull is to be broken
to work. But If bull is trained to
work when young and kept at it, and
treated with kindness bat firmness he
will not be dangerous. -Rural and
