Here is an English physicians recipe

plenty Of sleep and plenty of flannel"
Tho numerous methods announced from
time to time in the papers about how to
manage husband or wife invite the sug-
gestion that to manage either one properly
the least possible attempt to manage
brings the best result. The man or
woman who is managed either kicks or is
no good.
An exchange says Lancaster county has
a Bible 1854 years old. The story is the
same. Men who bought Bibles 400 years
ago laid them away as carefully and han
died them as gingerly as men who buy
them now. But you can gamble on it
that the man who has kept his Bible 400
years hasn't got a copy of the Police
Gazette in good repair.
Snowy, solid and satisfactory, arc three
qualities not often united; but they are

very handsome and most excellent num-
Der in every respect The full page en-

Several days ago herb reddler sold to
John Donnelly, of 2l2O Penn avenue,
Pittsburg, an alleged remedy for the grip.
A few days after the family were all taken
down with the disease, and the peddler's
remedy was given to Donnclly and his
two daughters, aged II and IA years re-
spectively. Shortly after taking the med
icine the three patients were seized with
severe pains and vomiting. Their physi-
clan was called and he pronounced their
symptoms those of poisoning. Emetcs
and antidotes were administered, and after
working all night ho succeeded in bring
ing them through. They are still very
low, but the doctor thinks they will re-
cover. There is no cluo TO the identity of
the peddier. Beware Of irresponsible
medicine pCddlers.
AS intelligent readers know, what is
called the potato disease is the action of a
minute fungus. 1t has only recently
been discovered that the spores of this
fungus do not penetrate the interior of the
plant. They mature on the leaves where
the attack is first made, and then are car
ried down the stems by rains to the tubers,
where they germinate, and in that way
cause the potatoes to rot. Among tho
most valuable of recent discoveries is the
fact that these spores seldom penetrate
over four inches in the ground, so that
tubers which are that distance from the
surface rarely become affected by the dis
ease. This valuable discovery is turned
to practical account by earthing up the
potatoes as early as possible in the season
before tho little fungus has had a chance
to perfect its spores. The potato tubers
are then too deep to be seriously affected.
