HOW TO KILL WEEDS.
Neighbors Must work Together to Exter-
minate Noxious Plants.

Neishbors Must Work Together to Exter-
inmate Noxious Plants.
Weed according to rule is the general
tone of bulletin No. 10 of the Oregon
experiment station given to that sub
ject. 1t requires as careful treatment
and study to kill out a weed as it does to
grow common field crops. The bulle-
tin to carry out this idea gives general
and specific rules for killing many of
the more common field pests. There
should be cooperation first of all. 1t is
hard work for farmer to keep his
fields free from weeds when his neigh
bor's land is running over with them.
Plants living one year can be de-
stroyed by keeping them moved or by
plowing under. Removing all plants
from the soil before they go to seed
will prevent the seeds remaining in the
soil and terminating after long sea-
son. Plants living for more than a
year are hard to dispose of, but can
usually be killed by keeping the leaves
cut close. To cultivate in a dry time
and when plants are growing is very
injurious for weeds.
Cutting when in flower will kill many
weeds. Look for introduction of weeds
through the manure. Keep fields well
occupied with crops. Buy seed of re-
liable firms and avoid introducing
weeds through the seed. Good seeds
are smooth, Shiny, full and heavy.

LION TANNING MADE EASY.
Ingenious Method Employed by IA Certal
German Performer.

Ingenious Method Employed by n Certain
German Performer
A certain German tanner of wild
beasts always entered the cage dressed
in cloud" Hungarian costume, with
large top boots, The moment he APP
peared the lions fell back in terror and
covered down in a corner, whence they
were with difficulty dislodged. 1t was
evident that the very sight of him in,
spired them with terror. How was it
done?
His plan has at least the merit OF
being original. He obtained lay
figure which he dressed up in the at.
tractive custume he was in the habit
of wearing. The very features were
closely initiated, as were the proper
tions and build of the man. The dis
guise was so perfect that even human
beings might have mistaken the make.
up for the original.
The figure was introduced into the
cage and made to stand upright, but
after awhile it was knocked over, when
with a bound the lions rushed with
open jaws on their prey.
Suddenly they began to howl with
pain, and withdrew to corner with
bleeding mouths and tongues. The
mannilSin was covered all over with
sharp iron spikes, concealed under the
brilliant uniform. Twice the tanner
tried this experiment; the lions did not
move the second time. He then com.
menced his course of training, attired
in n costume similar to that of the
wooden figure, though he had never
entered cage before. Yankee Blade.

finest on the continent. There are also
innumerable displays in which the
blending of color and the triumphs of
mechanical art are combined, and there
are also fish, electric, carriage, and
other departments. The expense of
running an exposition of t}.is kind is
of course enormous, but the attendance
is so uniformly large that it is only
necessary to charge 25 cents for adj
mission. This trihing payment in
cludes all the departments, as well as
seat at the great Gilmore concerts, which
arc alone worth far more than the
cost of a ticket.
The beauties of the street illumina-
tions increase as the season wears on.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 6.-This is "Fair
Thursday" and it is unfortunate for
the city that the census can not be
taken to-day, for it would certainly re-
veal the presence in it of over million
people. The streets are thronged with
sight-seers, and there are over 1876, 900
people who have spent happy day at
the fair. The exposition also has been
crowded all day, and Gilmore's zone

The Exposition remains open until Oc-

should arrange to attend at least once
before the great doors are finally closed
for the season. This is the ninth con-
secutive annual season, all records for
annual expositions having been easily
broken, and as the displays have been
getting better and better every year,
the combined attractions are posi-
lively irresistible this fall. The

and Its Consequences.
A party of gentlemen sat in cafe
one evening discussing politics, says u
| Schenectady correspondent, when Capt
Henry Rice of this city remarked that
he had been a democrat all his life but
had once voted the republican ticket,
casting his ballot for Cen John A. Dix
when the latter ran for governor in
| 1872.
'Dix saved my life," he answered, in
reply to an inquiry regarding his rea-
sons. During the war 1 was private

manded by Col Haynes. In October,
1868, l obtained a thirty days furlough
and left for my home in Otsego county.

and placed in confinement.
"While there l saw considerable cru
city exercised by officers in charge of
the prison and particularly in the case
| of man named Wilson, a quartermas-
| ter's sergeant. He was in the habit of
striking the prisoners for the most
trivial offenses-in fact, for actions
which in no way should have been con-
| sidered offensive. One day he hit a
| friend of mine, man well advanced in
| years, and l resolved to get even with

he was obliged to do so.

The Benefit of Fog.

Eminent scientific authority in London
declares that the London fog is the CHIEF
cause of the health of that metropolis.
The explanation is that the fog is largely
due to sulphur produced by burning soft
coal, that three hundred tons of sulphur
vapor are thrown into the air in 4 single
day, and that when the day is damp and
muggy this vapor descends to the ground
and kills the germs produced in refuse heaps
and sewers. Otherwise the eminent au-
thority declares that London might under
present sanitary conditions become unino
habtable. Certain it is that the human
system requires to be clcansed of the hui
NOR produced by the refuse material that
causes indigestion and other maadies.
This is best accomplished by the use OF
the Laxative Gum Drops. These contain
nothing deleterous, but are entirely frea
from any poisonous substance whatever.
They will cure any case of constipation no
matter of how long standing. They come
in packages, the small boxes are Goc, the
large ones are 25c and they can be pur.
chased of any dealer.

The portion of the stone standing in
