the peach trees are scarce so far this spring
1t is supposed that the extreme cold wealth
er of the past winter destroyed the larvae
to very great extent not only of this

| cannot defy pneumonia when he sheds his
winter fannels too early or neglects to
carry his spring overcoat upon his back.

have died of pneumonia in this country
during the past month, there would be
panic among the people and it would be
talked of all over the country as a vista
tion of great scourge.
Here is hint to shoe merchant, says
an exchange. He should hand this to his
customer: The first pair of shoes you try
on after you take off the old shoes you
have1 been wearing is likely to feel
too small because the foot is slightly
swollen. After trying on a number of
pairs the foot cools down and loses its SEN
slbility and herein arises the danger of
getting shoes that will afterwards be too
small. You should stop at the second
pair. If they seem.to fit take them and
you won't have to change them. Remem-
ber your foot is in its natural condition at
the second pair. Before and after it isn't
reliable
Now your blood should be purified.

A company with a capital stock of
$500, 900 has been organized in Pittsburg

ufactured is that the smoke is drawn down
over bed Of red hot Goals and 80 burned
lup. Fresh coal Is put on grating Of
widely separated bars, and as cinders drop
they are caught on another grating, from
which nothing but clean ashes can escape.
There is no vent for the smoke, but by
passing between the two CRATES and thus
between the heat Of the upper and lower
fires it is entirely burned up. The gener.
ating of steam is promoted in these fur
naces by the fact that the bars in the first
crate are steam pipes and connected with
the boilers, and that as the heat finds iti
way to the boilers it passes over number
of such pipes.
