Oh! The HOrrid Man!

They had been married about a
year and were passing through their
first experience in housekeeping,
He was trying tc drive a picture
nail with a tack hammer. He might
as well have tried to drive yoke of
oxen with a straw. Naturally, his
otherwise delightful disposition was
ruffled and, of course, his wife was
to blame. But he would not quar-
rel with her. He was not that kind
of man.
Mary" said he looking down at
her from the top of the step-ladder
and making an effort to appear calm
will You bring me one of those bis
cults you made this morning for
breakfasts"
"Why, Horace" she responded,
looking at him wonderingly, what
ever do you want with it?"
Il want to drive this confounded
nail with it," he said. "This ham
mer is too light to do any good at
all"

sect Pests.
As an insect destroyer the juice
of the potato plant is said to be of
great value; the leaves and stems
are well boiled in water, and when
the liquid is cold it is sprinkled
over plants attacked with insects,
when it once destroys caterpillars,
black and green flies, gnats, and
other enemies to Vegetables, and in
no way innpairs the growth of the
plants. A peculiar odor remains,
and prevents insects from coming
again for long time.
A writer in the Deutsche Zeitung
states that he last year had an OPP
portunity of trying a remedy for
destroying the green fly and other
insects which infect plants. The
stems and leaves are well boiled in
water, and when the liquid is cold
it is syringed over plants attacked
by insects. 1t at once destroys the
black or green fly, caterpillars, etc.
To destroy bugs on squash and
cucumber vines, dissolve a table
spoonful of saltpetre in a pailful of
water; put one pint of this around
each hill, shaping the earth so that it
will not spread much, and the thing
is done. Use more saltpetre if you
can afford tit is good for vegeta-
BILE but death to animal life. 1t is
also good to kill the grub in peach
trees-only use twice as much, say
a quart to each tree. No danger of
killing any vegetable with it-a con-
.centrated solution applied to beans
makes them grow wonderfully.
The striped bug is very destruct-
i've to young plants, especially of
vines. 1t is almost impossible to
get stand of early cucumbers on
account of this pest. A writer in
one of our exchanges states that a
good protection is secured by cut
ting sheet of cotton wadding into
nine equal pieces, and then split
ting them, making eighteen, at a
cost for all of only a few cents.
These are placed over the hills be-
fore the plants are up, the corners
held down with small stones. They
are elastic and stretch as the plants
grow. The bugs cannot get through
them. They are also protection
against frost.
A valuable mixture to keep on
hand is one of coal ashes, sulphur
and hellebore. The ashes should
be very fine. 1t is best after pass
ing them through the ordinary coal
ash sieve. To one pailful of ashes
thus sifted, add a quart each of
-four of sulphur and hellebore, and
mix together. For current worms,
plant lice, cabbage fees, slugs on
pear trees, and melon bugs, it has
been found entirely satisfactory.
1t is always best to use it in the
cool Of the morning.

DR.. M. J. Davis is a a prominent
physician Of Lewis, Cass county,
Iowa, and has been actively engaged
in the practice of medicine at that
place for the past thirty-five years.
On the 26th of May, while in Des
Moines en- route to Chicago, he was
suddenly taken with an attack of
diarrhea. Having sold Chamber
lain,s Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea
Remedy for the past seventeen
years, and knowing its reliability
he procured a 25 cent bottle, two
doses of which completely cured
him. The excitement and change
of water and diet incident to trav-
cling often produce a diarrhea.
Every one should procure a bottle
ofthis Remedy before leaving home.

Where it is possible, poultry
houses should be built near a run
ming creek, part of the creek being
fenced in each run. This constant
supply of fresh water is not only a
grand treat to the fowls, but great
saving of labor. 1t very often hap
pens that the hen-houses are erect
ed against the barn. while a very
desirable site on the bank of a
stream is allowed to grow up in
weeds. 1t is a mistake to build a
hen-house near the barn, as chick
en- lice are a great pest to horses
and cattle.

The removal of large limbs in
orchards at least should be left till
the active flow of sap in the Spring,
and may be continued, if necessary,
till the month of June. The cut
should be made close down to the
trunk, the wound, especially in the
bark, pared off smoothly with a
sharp knife and then covered with
grating wax or some similar sub
stance, to protect it from the wealth,
er until it has healed over.

Are you insured? If not, now is
the time to provide yourself and
family with a bottle of Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea
Remedy as an assurance against
any serious results from an attack
of bowel complaint during the sum
mer months. 1t is almost certain
to be needed and should be procured
at once. No other remedy can take
Its place or do its work. 25 and 50

Rule Five.

There it goes again-another rule for
ofIlce.seekers promulgated by the Presi-
dent with intent to smash the state
states. Aspiring ones have thought
they were fixed when they had the
backing OF their state delegations, in
pretty good trim for certain offices
when the names Of their senators were
writ big and bold on their backs.
This is no longer to be the way Of 1t.
The President wants to break up the
state rings, and it is given out that the
states Of senators and representatives
in Congress are not his states, and that
lesser individuals than senators and
representatives may come in and take u
look around for themselves.
This rule mayPlay hob with some OF
our West Virginia friends who have
corncred tho congressional delegation
and have been looking on tho rest of
tho boys in triumph with dash OF
whisky and water in it.

A Bad appointment.

II We credit Democratic testimony
from Indiana the President has made u
bad selection OF district attorney for
that state. Mr.. Cloyeland's friends,
led by tho indianapolis Sentinel, de-
nounce Burke as unfit for tho position.
He has a bad legislative record and is
branded as zone of the most vicious OPP
ponents Of good government"
The President cannot know person
ally every man he appoints. He must
trust to information furnished him and
in the end must base his selection on
his confidence in the men who advise
him. In the matter OF district attor-
neyship the senators and representa-
tiyes take hand.
In this Indiana case it will be inter-
esting to know who urged the appoint
ment OF Burke and assured the Prosi-
dent that lie was the right sort OF man
for the office. The people will be still
more interested 10 gee whether the
President will promptly revoke tho ap.
pointment. The case must be agra
uated or it would not have drawn out
so quick and sharp a protest.
