A Reliable Assistant.

The poet and the almanac maker
agree that all seasons have their signs,
but those Of spring are most active and
insistent. 1t is then, also, that nature
throws off the lethargy of winter and
prepares to renew her bounties. 1t is
then, also, that nature attempts to
throw off the impurities that have lain
dormant in the human system. This
effort manifests itself IN various ways
in the increased activity of old affec-
tions, in the appearance of boils, car
buncles and other eruptions, and in
the various symptoms SO familiar to
those who have suffered. 1t is at this
period that nature finds an active and
a trustworthy assistant in S S. s.,
which, in the work Of purifying the
blood and strengthening the system,
has proven to be the most perfect
spring medicine ever offered to the
public.

POULTRY NOTES.


O. What male would be most de
sirable for crossing with common hens2
Ans. That depends on what result
is required. If you desire eggs, Red
Cap, Leghorn or Minorca would be a
good cross, if you wish to raise broil-
ers'; the Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte
or some large, quick growing stock
should be used.
Q. What color should the legs Of
a pure bred Plymouth Rock be, and
should there be any feathers on the
leg'
Ans. The color Of leg may vary
from light to dark yellow, but must in
variably be yellow.
No. There should be no feathers
on the leg.
q. BY crossing two non-setting
breeds, will they be good layers and
will they be non-setters'
Ans. Yes, they would be good lay
crs, but as a result from such cross,
you would get those that would set.
Q. Will kerosene kill lice on chick.
ems?
Ans. Yes. 1t is one of the most ef-
fective lice exterminators we have, but
don put it on the fowl. Use it on
the perches, and cracks and crevices
Of nest boxes &c. Dust the fowl with
insect powder.

WHERE IS THE TIN PLATE.
Not Solitary Box Manufactured in
This Country.
GAMERS PAY 5000, 900 IN INCREASED
TAXES. EVERY CENT OF WHICH GOES
TO THE SPECTATORS IN
WALES.
WASHINGTON October

WASHINGTON, October a.
Congressman 7. L. Bunting, Of Ham
burg, n. Y, was here recently on
his way from New York. where he at
tended meeting Of the heaviest con-
sumers of tin plate in the the United
States. with view of running down
the 'tin plate liars and locating some
of the numerous tin plate concerns
which the Republican papers of the
country are exploiting.
The meeting was entirely non-politi-
cal Its object was to secure reliable
data concerning the state of the tin
plate industry. Mr.. Bunting says that
year ago both Major Mckinley and
Senator Allison assured a committee
Of the consumers of tin plate that with
in year from October E, 1890, when
the tariff bill went into effect, forty
American tin plate factories would be
running and turning out all the tin
plate required Tor consumption in this
country.
FRENCH AND COMPANY'S OFFER.
"The year is up" continued Mr..
Bunting, land l defy any man to find
one solitary box OF tin plate that has
been manufactured in this country.
French & Company have a standing
offer to pay IS per cent. above the
market price for 10000 boxes Of
American tin plate. There have been
sporadic efforts to produce a little
terne plate in Ohio and elsewhere for
political effect, but it is of very poor
quality, contains great deal Of lead
and very little tin. Though il can be
used for roofing, it is not only absolut-
ely useless, but proven poisonous for
canning purposes"
"What is the extent OF the industries
affected by the tin-plate dutyf"
81 have made careful estimates re-
piled Mr. Bunting, "and you will be
surprised to learn that it affects, direct
ly or indirectly, 3 per cent. of the in
habitants of the United States who are
engaged in planting or growing fruits,
packing or boxing vegetables, meats,
oysters, fish etc. Two million people
are directly or indirectly interested, and
every family is more or less of con-
sumer."
THE MONEY GOES ABROAD.
"How much have the consumers
paid this year as result of the tax ?"
SIN the first instance the figures are
accurate in the second approximate.
There are 1900 canning establish
ments in this country. They alone
have paid $5,ooo.ooo in the increased
cost of tin plate. This raises the price
of every can or piece of canned goods
from half to cent of the wholesaler.
The wholesaler and the retailer each
still further advance the price that it
is difficult to tell just how much the
final consumer, who eventually pays it
all, has been mulcted. want to i'm
press also the fact that the United
States did not get from us the FIVE
million we have paid directly in this
increase cost Of tin plate. The specu-
lators in Wales reaped the harvest.

Reader, do you feel that there is a
necessity for a constitutional conven

Nothing can be said
in favor of the best medicine in the

can you distinguish?

only one blood-puriiicr that's guar

money back. Isn't it likely to be
the best?

The death of the Rev. Thomas Pitts,
D. D., of Pittsburg, gives to medical
science the strangest case ever known in
pathology. An autopsy has disclosed
that the late minister had a veri.abIo
thorn in his brain.
DR.. Samuel Ayers, the specialist on
diseases Of the brain, conducted the post
mortem. When the skull was opened a
long plate was discovered. 1t was two
inches in length, three-quarters OF an
inch in width, and had u very rough
surface. 1t was found occupying a part
of the membraneous partition, between
the two hemispheres of the brain. The
minister died suffering from commissions
which were doubtless caused by this
bony growth.
This also explains all that seemed IN
accountablein DIR. Pitts erratic conduct
and actions during the last few years of
his life. DR.. Ayers said he did not be-
heve there was a similar case in the his
tory Of medicine. As yet he is unable
to explain the presence of this strange
growth. There is more or less zone de
post in the brain, but why this form
was taken is still unexplainable.-Cor

WASHINGTON, June - The depart,
ment OF state has been notified Of the ap-
pointmeut by the British government OF
Sir George Baden-Powell and w. Daw-
son as agents TO visit Alaska and collect
information respecting the seal fisheries.
The statement coming from London that
these men have been appointed arhitrl
tors is erroneous. The negotiations look.
ing to arbitration OF the claims made by
the United States have not yet %proRress,d
to tho point that would permit the ap
pointment Of arbiters. and in fact the ma
ture of arbitration itself has not yet betn
agreed upon. 1t may be that Powell and
Dawson will hereafter serve as repre-
sentatives of the British government upon
the expert commission which the two nu-
tons are bound to send TO Alaska, but il
is altogether improbable that they will be
appointed arbiters. as their previous
duties might be supposed to unfit them to
act iudicially in a matter where they
formally acted as partisan experts.
