To be a true follower of
Hahnemann and obtain the best
results in using Homeopathic Re-
NEEDLES, several things must be
considered.
In the first place, the Medicine
must be fresh. While a few months
will not impair the medicinal pro-
perties of Homeopathic Remedies
yet it is evident that with age it
value as a medicine will have de-
preciated.
Secondly-Homeopathic Rene
dies must have proper care. Being
very sensitive to light and atmos-
pheric changes, they must be pro-
tected from strong lights and damp
air.
That they should be kept separate
from odors of strong and powerful
drugs, must not be ignored.
When these precautions have been
complied with, Homeopathic Re-
NEEDLES will have fair chance in
combating diseases.
We have recently added to our
stock, not only a complete line of
Boericke & Runyon's Homeo. Rem
edies, but full line of Humphreys
Specifics, both domestic and veteri-
nary.

Materia Medica, and many of their
specialties, such as

Seasickness.
Quillaya Pellets for cold in the

mifuge.

tiers.

Domestic Remedies which sell a
25c. a bottle and the Veterinary
Remedies which sell at 60c. f;

THE COLUMBUS MONUMENT.
Laying Of the Corner Stone by the Ital-
fans Of New York.


NEW York, Sept. 1.-THE national,
state and city flags were flying from the
staffs Of the City hall, and between the
two central fagstaffs was displayed an
italian flag, all in honor of the parade
yesterday of the Italian societies in con-
nection with the ceremonies of laying
the corner stone of the Columbus mon
ument at Fifty-ninth street and Eighth
avenue. The parade formed at Wash-
ington square, and there gathered thous-
ands of spectators, while the sidewalks
along Fifth avenue were crowded with
men, women and children.
There were many uniformed organiza-
tions in line. The trucks and cats. on
which the stones that will form the base
of the monument were loaded, were
decked with bunting and flags in the
most elaborate manner. More than
hundred military and civic organizations
Were represented, many coming from
Brooklyn and Jersey City. The huge
truck bearing the main shaft Of the
monument, weighing abOnt thirty five
tons, broke down completely, aud had 10
be temporarily abandoned.
The corner stone was laid by Mayor
Grant, and addresses were delivered by
President Carlos Barsotti, Commissioner
Wahle, of the committee of ono hun
dred, and others. At the conclusion of
the exercises the First hs.::tv G,rd

When you catch rats with trap don't
use a steel trap that will seize the rat by
the leg and cruelty hold him till he has
gnawed the imprisoned limb fra and goes
out into the cold world with three legs and
only the mutilated half of the fourth.
Deal gently with the erring rat, as Izaak
Walton would have you deal with the
worm you impale upon the hook. There
are many good rat traps in the market.
When you have caught your rat asphyxiate
him with little chloroform. very little
will answer, for the rat is very sensitive to
the action Of anesthetics, while he is also
able to bear greater load of disease than
any other animal within range of my ex-
perience. Let the rat die a painless death,
and when he is dead crsmate him. Ex-
perience has taught nearly every house
holder in this rat infested world that the
body of dead rat is sometimes more dan
gerous to man than legion of live ones in
full posse ssion of all their deviiish facul-
ties.-Dr. S. Z. Weber's Lecture

II has been said there are no tides on the
great lakes. Yet every seafaring man at
the city Of Green Bay says there are tides
here The Green Bay people are certain Of
the tides, because they have seen them
and have been seeing them ever since they
lived here. The tides come in the morning
and evening, and are highest at z n. m. and
7p M. From until Z In the morning the
tide gradually comes in. After that time
1t begins to recede, and is at its lowest
point between II to 2:90. At the latter
hour the evening tide commences and 1t
rises continuously until z in the evening,
when it begins to recede. The height Of
the tide varies at times trifle, but it is
never less than five inches and seldom over
eight inches under ordinary circumstances.
Heavily laden boats of large size are de-
tanned frequently at this point during low
tide waiting for the tide to come in. Cap
tains are SO certain that there is a tide that
they will wait for some hours to take ad-
vantage Of its movement before attempting
to leave port.
II there is a tide in Green bay then there
is tide on all the inland lakes. 1t may be
too small to be measured, but 1t is there
just the same. Green bay is shaped not
unlike the Bay of Fundy, where the tides
on the Atlantic are compressed until they
rise to enormous heights. 1t is not un-
reasonable to suppose that tide of half an
inch or an inch from the wide stretch of
waters east and west, reaching several
hundred miles from Georgian bay across
Lake Huron, through the straits OF Mack
mac, across the foot of Lake Michigan and
up the long, narrow bay, would be so COM
pressed as to be at last pereeptible. 1t
would be impossible to measure so small a
tide, and scientific men would be justified
in denying altogether the existence of a
lake Wisconsin Cor. Chicago Herald.

Lord Strathnairn, says he was the most
indolent, lackadaisical, languid person

In a little while Sir Hugh was again In

Hood Conduct I'M Journnli.m.

The rules that govern good conduct in
an individual are those that should pre-

scandal are often more interesting than
matters of real moment The rule OF gen

LANCASTER, Pa, Sept. 1.-THE Exam
iner will today print full page report
of the condition of the tobacco crop in

what larger than last year, but there
will be decrease in the weight, due to
the lack of rain in the early part of the
season. Havana is rapidly losing favor
except in few sections where the soil is
especially adapted for its culture. The
seed leaf is also so much superior both in
weight ana quality, that it is generally
conceded that next year will see seed
leaf planted entirely. Fleas have played
havoc with the Havana in many sec
tions, while there has been no dearth of
srasshoppers and worms. Seed leaf was
not damaged to near the extent that
Havana suffered, while the quality is
pronounced as Of the finest. the only de-
sideratum being the small yield.
