Towels will give better wear if
overcast between the fringe before
they are washed.
Never put patent fasteners on
shoes until they have been worn and
stretched for couple of weeks.
When you are packing your pretty
dresses put soft paper between the
folds, and they will crease very little
when you reach your journeys end.
When the eyes are tired, or in
famed from loss of sleep, apply an
old linen handkerchief dripping with
water as hot as you can possibly bear
it.
In ordinary burns and scalds the
only remedy required is to thorough
ly exclude the air from the injured
part. Cotton batting will do this
most effectually.
Ink stains on cloth may be taken
out by washing-first with pure
water, next with soap and water.
and lastly with lemon juice; but if
old they must be treated with oxalic
acid.
A blottcr can be made that will
remove ink spots from paper. Take
thick plotting paper and steep 1T
several times in solution of oxalic
acid. While the ink is moist apply
the blotter and the ink will be en-
tirely removed.
Three lengths are now modish for

Isinglass and gelatine are entirely

Nor long ago there was a threat
ened epidemic of typhoid fever in
San Francisco. Several cases broke
out and it was believed by one of the
enterprising firms of undertakers of

cause to effect, this particular firm
expected an unusually large demand
for floral decorations and at once
organized a corner. All the moss
that could be procured along the
Pacific coast from San Diego to Seat

up. There were but twenty-five
deaths from typhoid fever, however.
The epidemic didn't materialize and

is nothing left for the members OF
that firm to do now but TO glut the

The Colts Feet.

1t is a great mistake for any one
to attempt raising colt to horse age
when obliged to keep it stabbed on a
plank or stone floor all the time. 1t
will most likely go lame from some
cause. A run in pasture through
the summer gives not merely needed
exercise. but the cool, moist grass
keeps the colts feet and legs in
sound condition. Even in winter it
is wiser to let the colt run out of
doors at least in day time. and if
there is a shed for shelter he can be
out night as well as day. With good
feed colt treated thus will be much
surer to make sound horse than he
will if most of the time stabbed. -

LE danger of too much greed is
now being felt by the jehus of Nj
agara Falls as it was never felt be-
fore. 1t has been shown that the
travel by carriage was thirty-siX per
cent less in 1892 than in 1891 and
that it was much less in 1891 than
the year before. Time was when
every sight-seer there rode and all
the money they could save from their
landlord went TO their jehu. The
greed of the drivers was of such
stupendous proportion that jewelry
had TO be sometimes pawned in order
to satisfy their extortionate demands.
Now nearly every body walks. About
the only persons the Niagara Falls
hack-driverS can induce to ride are
the excessively sick people or the
excessively lazy and the prices
charged Tor the same are scarcely
enough to pay for the shoes on the
horses.

ONE of the best recipes for main
tanning vigor of both mind and body
was given by Mr.. Gladstone When
he passed his SD birthday some one
asked his secret, and he said it con-
sisted in exercising all parts of his
mind every day. He related as a
fact that on one road out of London
a larger portion of the horses broke
down at an early age than on any
other. Examination showed that on
this road the surface was entirely
level. The horses were all the time
exercising the same set of muscles.
In going ur and down hill a variety
of muscles were exercised. Maybe
the ups and downs in human life we
may sometimes find have been best
for our moral and intellectual health.

Sheep Shenrinys.

Feed the lambs even before t'Iey
are weaned all the grain they will
eat.
The future of wool may be uncer-
tain, but the future of mutton will be
all right.
Lambs cannot be left to shift for
themselves and produce profit for
the breeder.
Old ewes run down rapidly if the
lambs are allowed TO run with them
longer than necessary.
The meat CT castrated lambs is
better than that Of those upon which
the operation has not been per-
formed.
A shelter that is dark, yet cooled
by arrangements by which the air
can get through it. is relished by
sheep in hot weather.
Tests have shown that sheep VIII
eat nearly 600 different plants,
which gives an idea how easily sheep
may be kept,and how useful they are
as weed destroyers.
When sheep have scab it is not
enough to dip the sheep. The
fences, stables, everything that the
sheep have touched should be
washed with some such mixture as
carbolic acid.
The cost of producing pound of
wool depends upon the circumstances,
says writer. II we raised no lambs
and wool was the only product it
would cost in the neighborhood of
fifty cents per pound With we'll

Diseased Plums.

p. p. writes in Farm and Fire
side, What is the matter with my
plum trees? Quite often they are
full of bloom and bid fair to beas
WELL when 10, wha. ought to be a
plum is large, spongy mass, swell
ling out in few days TO three or
four times the size OF the plum. Of
ten the small leaves and twigs swell
in the same manner. These swell
lings soon dry up, leaving the trees
unslghtly and unthrifty for the sea-
son. Have sometimes found a worm
in the center OF the swollen plum,
but often nothing. Is the cause
known, and what is the remedy"
The swellings are caused by a
fungus growth (Taphrlna prunii)
which is supposed to live over in the
wood of the tree. 1t shows itself,
soon after the blossomS fall, by the
abnormal swelling of the fruit. which
becomes large and bladdery by the
first of June. This disease does not
spread rapidly, but is rather con-
fined to certain trees Some varie-
ties are much more subject to it than
others, and when a tree becomes
diseased it is apt to remain so sew
eral years. The treatment of it should
consist in cutting and burning the
infected parts. In doing this, cut
considerably below the place where
the disease shows plainly, so as to
take off the parts of 1t that may be
inside the wood and not visible.
This treatment has often resulted in
much benefit.

SoMh of the New York savings
banks hold strange notions as TO what
are the necessaries of life. They en-
force their rule not to allow with
drawals of money without sixty days
notice, but considerably make ex-
ceptions in cases where the money IS
absolutely needed. Several of these
cases are of parties who want the
money for trip to Europe. Those
are just the fellows who ought to be
kept at home if possible. From
$40, 100000 to 800, 00J, 900 Of Ameri-
can money yearly goes TO Europe to
be spent in dissipation. 1t was hoped
this year that the worlds fair might
keep this class at home to spend
their money here. 1t would be better
for the banks and better for the coun-
try if they excepted from their sixty
day rule those who wanted money to
spend for trip TO Chicago. 1t would
seem more patriotic at least.

The discontinuance of the great
Thomas orchestra and of the great
Thomas himself at the worlds fair
awakened controversy which bids
fair to last till the close of the ex-
hibition. The solemn truth appears
to be that Mr.. Thomas cost too much,
cost more than was expected, more
than the management could afford,
and that as an attraction the or
chestra did not justify the outlay.
AS might have been expected, the
concerts of classic music were
listened to with resignation by
crowds when they were given free,
but were regarded with Indifference
when an admission fee ipterposed
itself between the music and the
people The worlds fair manage
ment very reasonably concluded that
it need not beggar itself to buy
music for which the people were not
willing to pay their own money.

Men and BOys-The Work of Rescue Retarded
BY Gas-SOme Of the Bodies Recovered,

LONDON, July AT Thorn Hill, York
shire, an explosion occurred to-day. One
hundred aud thirty miners were entombed
and the loss of life 1t is feared will be
heavy. Four bodies have been already taken
out. Pitiful scenes of distress and ankle
ty prevail ABOUT the mine.
The day shift went to work as usual
early this morning. The ventilation
was reported to be good. All went well
until noon when the workers at the pit
mouth were startled by muffied ex-
ploson and by clouds of dense smoke
rolling up the main shaft.
They tried to communicate with the
workmen but found that the interior
had been cut off from the shaft. The
pit MANAGERS organized an exploring
party and decended slowly through the
smoke.
They were driven back repeatedly
and eventually gave up their purpose Of
penetrating to the working before the
foul gas should be cleared away. After
taking up the bodies found at the bot
tom of the shaft the rescue party waited
for several hours before making another
descent.
About the middle of the evening they
went down again. The gas had cleared
off near the shaft and they were able to
examine part OF the working. The
bodies Of the miners lay in heaps. Many
were sent to the surface. Unremitting
efforts are being made to reach the few
miners who may still be alive. About
one hundred and ten are supposed to
have been killed.

were Republicans laws, enacted against

"Dear Sir-I regret that l am unable to
accent the invitation of the Tammany So
ciety, TO attend the celebration OF the ami
versary of American Independence, on the
Fourth of July next.
"This is the day which all true Ameri-
cans ought to celebrate as often as it oc-
curs. When, however, the commemora-
tion of the discovery of the land we occu-
was cousecrated to liberty and popular
government are coiudent, the occasion
Sbould revive ana stimulate all tue en-
nobliug aud patriotic sentiments which are
essential TO the safety and the perpetuity
of American institutions.
UAt such q time il is fitting that we re-
;oice in the dauntless purpose and constant
devotion that have thus far marked out the
way of our great nation. We should lose
me most important lesson of the day we
celebrate il we forget that the labor and
6iIiyence of those intrusted with self-gov-
ernmept must be unremitting and always
"Tbere has never been time when our
conntrvmen should be more soberly re-
minded that they cannot safely delegate
their duties and obligations OF citizenship
nor neglect to cultivate their individual
and personal interest in public affairs.
"If thew insist that there should De hon.
estv and cleanliness in politics, and IL they
refuse 10 encourage expedientS than en-
danger the foundation of sound national
6na6ce. those who follow Us will ioyousiy
celebrate the day in ceturies yet to come. F."

tion which so recently from various mo
