A short time ago the drift of testi-
mony was against the value of tuber
euiin, or Dr koeh's lymph. New testi.
mony is coming in which indicates that
il has some value, though not the elixir
Of life which early reports represented
1t. DR.. Bergman of Berlin. has given
the results of his treatment with It.
which he claims establishes its value
Several New York physicians have
also concluded experiments which
show that it will be of much use. While
the testimony appears very conflicting
it can really be hsrmonized rs showing
that the lymph is not available for the
advanced stages Of consumption, but
may be Of great use in the earlier stages
Thus 1t gradually assumes the character
Of an important discovery, though not
the general salvation Of pulmonary
humanity that II was supposed to be.
Further experience is needed to make
this conclusion fiusl; but the tendency
Of the evidence Is as stated.

Washington's Pugnacity.

It is related Of John Adams that when
Stuart exhibited his portrait OF General
Washington Mr.. Adams went tC see it.
After gazing at IL for several minutes, he
exclaimed, That's the portrait Of a max
who knew how to hold his tongue, which
this old fool never did
The portrait does indicate that the
original could be reticent bot it also
shows that he could control himself The
square, massive jaw, the full, broad based
nose, and the compressed lips express
pugnacity and passion, such as require q
strong viii to keep them in subsection
Sometimes even Washington allowed
his passion to have sway.
When Glover's Marblebead fishermen
and Morgan's Virginia rifiemen were en-
gagged in a rough and tumble fight. Wash
ington lesped his horse over the bars Of
the camp fence, dashed among the riot
ers, threw himself of, seized two brawny
riAemen by the throat, and shaking them
at arms length, subdued not only them,
but the entire band.
It was the victory due to commanding
strength, presence and manner. The
men saw that they must obey, and they
obeyed.-Hsutd's l9npaAi0a.

Our Tramps.

A distinguished clergyman preached
upon Tramps the other Sunday, and
opened by remarking that when he be-
gan to preach, forty years ago, there was
not a tramp in the United States. There
are tranps now on every road, and
tramps sleep every night in station
houses, in barns, and under the shelter
of walls and sheds Many Of them have
become demoralized, and find the wan
,iering life of tramp preferable TO that
of steady industry.
It Is easy TO eensure and despise these
forlorn wayfarers but we are bound TO
bear in mind that in bad times the first
men to be discharged are the less cap
able and the less worthy. Employers
hold on 10 their best men 10 the Iast
grasp of solvency, and are frequently
glad Of pretext to dismiss their less
skillful and less agreeable ones. From
this cause alone there are many trzmps
in dull times.

Cremation.

"The sentiment in favor Of cremation
is gaining ground at a wonderful rate
among the mora intelligent classes Of the
East, said ". Il. Heritage, Of the Taco
ma Chemical Works, last night to the
Rotunda Rambler. aIn Philadelphia,
where live, there Is a crematory or
burial reform society to which I belong.
which has a very large membership. m
cluding doctors, ministers, teachers, be-
sides the very best class Of citizens.
When this society was organized, four
years ago, it wasn't considered even re-
respectable now it has the sanction and
patronage Of the best people in the COM
munitv. We have a crematory and
colunbarium in East Washington lane,
q short distance from Walnut Lane sta
ton, where cremations take place almost
daiIy. The edifce is an elegant one, in
the Moorish style Of architecture, and is
provided with a little chapel for religious
services, as well as with the most approv-
ed means for the incjueration Of bodies.
The columbsrium is used for the deposit
Of the ashes after reduction. snd con-
tains many thousand inches. leased BY
thOse:desiring to have their ashes depos-
tied in the institution. BY the rules Of
the society anyone paying 81 a month
into the treasury for fifty months IS en-
titled to free cremation, As well a. al the
necessary Perquisiies Of z funeral. One
Of the objects Of the society IS that Of
discouraging tie practice Of large outIays
on funerals, something which in these
times Of extravagance in this line is i'm

Flower Garden and Lawn.

In most northern localities May is the
time to ~slick up about the dwelling.
Whether one has large lawn or only a
limited dooryard, it needs cleaning and
improving at this season. Rubbish of
all kinds should be raked Up and remOv-
ed. Trees and shrubs that have been
injured during the winter require atten-
ton Everything about the rural or
suburban r0of-tree should De put in or
der and made pleasant aud attractive
Most farmers have plenty Of space to
augment the beauty Of their homes by
the planting OF lowers, vines. shrubs
and trees. and the building Of neat trsl-
hses, fences and arbocs. such improve
ments cost little, while they add to the
intrinsic value Of the homestead, and
afford real pleasure to its occupants.
Every farmer who has q family is in
duty bound TO ad0rn home and its sur
roundings, and now is the season to make
efforts in thai direction. Pray do not
defer or neglect matter that will give
great satisfaction to wife, sons and
daughters, and add 70 the pleasure of
visiting friends and passing strangers.
