THE OLD WAY.

Some of the remedies in use in the mid
die ages sound very queer to us. For in
stance the favorte remedy for pulmonary
troubles was live mole baked in an oven
and then reduced to a powder. This was
thought to be certain cure. One writer
gave for nervous diseases the blood taken
from an ASS ear because he urged the
ass was very calm beast and his ear was
the calmest part of him. twas not until
all other sciences woke up, as itwere, that
medical men began those researches that
are the glory of modern science. They
began to see that the simplest remedies are
the best. Such a remedy as Reds Ger
man Cough and Kidney Cure forinstance
is better than any other for pulmonary
trouble because it is composed of pure ma
terial without particle of poison in it, or
any thing that is in the slightest degree
deeterious. For this reason in complaints
like Group in children, where the necessity
for instant relief is urgent, it acts like a
charm and there is no danger of after i'll
results, that will be unpleasant. Get i Of

Thus sings Christina Rcsetti, the

About the first of June-sometimes
earlier-Jenny Wren becomes a bride,
and her husband seems to be the hap
piest creature in all the world. He
sings joyously all the day long, his
note greatly resembling that of the
canary, but not so prolonged and with
few variations. The house wren is a
diminutive. bird, much smaller than our
common canary, the male a trihe
larger than the female, and no marlle

this season, it being past the middle OF
June before it was erected on the sun

why lie Tagged the Train.

One of Michigan's railroad companies
decided to establish a freight and
ticket Office at r., small flag station in
the southern part of the state, and the
grocery keeper of this hamlet was
commissioned as agent. The first
morning he awolle about five o'clock,
and, hearing the Limited whistle in
the distance, hnrricdly slid into his
trousers, and without stopping to finish
dressing, dashed down the stairs, flag
in hand, ran out upon the platform aud
began wildly waving the flag across
track The train stopped; the conduc-
tor alighted, and, seeing no one but the
agent in sight, turned to him with the
inquiry:
where's your passengers?'
Haven't any," replied the agent, as
he made another grab to keep hi.

"Then why in thunder did you stor

He then shows the remarkable fact
that between daylight and dark thirty
two martins fed sixteen families of
young birds three thousand two hun

nit to my farmer friends whether these
figures do not show the value of these
birds as insect destroyers, and hope
that every farmer in the country will
provide for them q good-sized two or
three-story cottage near his poultry
house, They will protect his poultry

perhaps ere this have reached their
southern home. Their flight marks
the waning of summer and the advent
of harvest, and is president of the fading
flower and falling leaf of autumn, and
the icy breath and winding SHOWS of
winter
For the benefit particularly of my
farmer friends append the following
description of the bird and its habits
from the Audubon Magazine:
The purple martin is the largest Of
the swallow tribe. lie is also one of
the most useful of this extremely serv-
iceable group of birds, Not only does
insects, but from his ready adaptable
itY to changed conditions, and his will
ingness, If encouraged, to make his
home on or near mans dwellings,, he
becomes the guardian of the poultry
yard. No hawk or owl or eagle is dar-
ing enough to approach farmhouse
where one or more pairs of this cour-
ageous and swift-winged species are
rearing their broods If bird of prey,
ignorant of the presence of these pro-
tectors, comes near to see what oppor-
tunity there may be to pick up one of
the young chickens that are wandering
about the door yard, the martins dis
cover him at once, and sally forth with
angry twittcrings, to give battle to the
intruder. Their powerful wings bear
them swiftly towar their enemy, who,
too late, turns to fly. They easily
overtake him, and dart down from
above, butfeting him savagely. The
intruder wastes no time in trying to
give battle to his small but dreadful as
sailants, and, with all the speed he can
command, hurries to the nearest shell
ter. When he reaches the woods or
some thicllet into which he plunges,
the victorious martins rise high in air,
and side by side, calling to each other
with notes of triumph and congratula-
ton, wing their way back to the home
which they have so boldly defended:
''The purple martin is from seven
and one-half to eight inches in
length and measures sixteen inches
across its extended wings. The
color of the male is deep
blush black with purplish reflections.
The female is paler throughout, iNd
lacks the iridescence of the male, its
throat and breast are dark gray and
the other under parts lighter gray.
The young are gray streaked with
darker"
Some obScrva tons made by Mr.. O,
Widmann, of ST. Louis, and published
several years ago in the Forest and
way in which the old birds perform
this labor, and of the vast number OF
insects-many of them hurtful-which
are destroyed daily by pair of these
useful birds. He says:
at may be interesting to many OF
your readers to know more about the
family cares of our birds. In order tc
find out how often young martins are
fed by their parents, and at what time
the principal meals are served,

between us, even if the neighbors who
occupy my summer cottages do quarrel

settlement for the season.
| furnish their cottages every sum
mer free of any charge for rent, except
the good will of my tenants, which
they bestow freely, besides furnishing
me with free concerts during the sum-
nner and the favor of their most charm
ing society.
The largest and most pretentious OF
these summer dwellings is two story
structure with capacity for four fam
lilies, every apartment of which was oc-
cupied during the season by families of
purple martins. This house is erected
on n four by four inch pole sixteen feet
above the ground in the center of my
little garden. For some reason the

fer detached residence.
NV other two cottages are precisely
the same size, but differently built
One has been occupied by a family of
wrens and the other by family of
bluebirds, the principal point of differ
ence being in the size of the entrance,
that of the wren cottage being 80 small
that bluebirds and other would-be tres
passers are effectually excluded. For
bluebirds and wrens single apart
ment is preferable. A small wooden
box five by eight inches, with gable
roof, is ample. This should be at
tached to the kitchen and main build
ing in separate places.
The blue bird is the first to arrive.
lie is the joyous harbinger of spring.
Sometimes on warm day in the latter
part of March or the first days of April
his familiar voice is heard, and you
look in vain for the bird, who is con-
ccaled by friendly shed, only waiting
for the violet and the green earth to
beckon him forth to show his familiar
form. Mr.. John Burroughs beautifully
pictures him as the bird with the sky
tint upon his back and the earth tint
upon his breast" BY the first of May
he and his demure little bride are ready
for housekeeping in earnest. He some
times takes strong notion to the two
story mansion which is occupied about
.he same time by the martins, but find
ing it occupied by superior numbers he
gives them a boisterous scolding, re-
Dukes them contemptuously, and final
ly settles himself in his one-story cot
tage. Here, in his ample room, blessed

prospective family, every feeling Of
envy gives place to one Of serene cln-
tent, which finds expression in mel

ing season to the fight of the young
