MEDICINE FOR FARM ANIMALS.

A writer in the American Agricul.
turist recommends wood ashes as valu.
able medicine for farm animals. After
large experience Of twenty years in
raising swine he finds that his herds are
most effectually protected from hog
cholera by keeping wood ashes, rich in
charcoal, mixed with salt, constantly
before them in a covered box, with holes
near the. bottom. The hogs work the
mixture out through these holes as fast
as they want it.
The idea of this writer is apparently
good. The phosphates which enter into
the com position Of wood ashes are doubt.
less excellent germicides. Animals in
oculated with the baccilli of Asiatic
cholera by means Of infected food sur
vive the experiment because the germs
are killed or rendered imperative by the
gastric juice. Aud it is we'll known that
the power Of both men aud animals to
resist almost any kind of infection is in
creased by strengthening the acids OF tine
stomach. The writer referred to has
found that the best condition powder is
a mixture of three parts Of wool ashes
to one of salt.-New York Herald.

PUT NOT YOUR FAITH IN OUNCES.
A friend whu has made the culture Of
the ounce a lifelong hobby and an un-

because the barrels are so far apart, and
the prices ale frequently much lower.
Some seasons his best brodght only 81,

this. Even these prices would not be
poor if the trees would grow and bear

have ounces set five years ago which
make no growth and no promise yet.
Other orchards that I know of have

HOPPING.
III 49, e. -sIx.-f. ii

There are few more ridiculous sights In
this world than to look down from a gal
lery upon a crowd of people hopping,
gliding and sliding around to the sound of
music. But they all do it nowadays, even
the Methodists. And, as. We DhsSe SfAtely
seen. saags also dance. There was time
in this country when dancing of sny kind
was looked upon by most of the people as
little too gay, and waltzing as really i'm
proper. But dancing Is now the chief
way of trying to have fun in society, and
the more waltzing the better. In New
York, we hear, some of the nice young
ladies are adopts in the pleasing, the
graceful, the bewildering and the alluring
skirt dance. And 1t is whispered that
some of them are going to show their ex-
pertness in winding up and unwinding
themselves and kicking high on the stage
of the fashionable Vaudeville club.
But in spite of the general prevalence of
dancing and its extension into the animal
kingdom, there are some old fogies left
who don't think 1t quite the thing for nice
women to hop around all night with nice
men. OF course these old fogies can't
dance, and are therefore no judges of what
dancing really is. All they can do is to
see how 1t looks to them. 1t looks foolish
to them to zee their fellow men engaged,
with moro or less awkwardness, in trying
to do gracefully something for which most
of them are entirely untitled. 1t seems
great waste of time and effort.
And they wonder why the beautiful,
the dignifed and the graceful women
like to hop SO well, and why they
are go willing to hop with almost any
body who is willing to hop with them.
These old fogies won't find much symps-
thy and support in this country, but If
they coald 60 to India they would find
kindred minds. A Bombay psper says:
"We do not think our eountrymen would
care very much for hopping, and, least of
all, they would allow their wives and
daughters to be caught by their waists
and danced about by strangers. The floor
is so alluring and, withal, 80 smooth that
one is easily apt to slip, and slipping to
the Hindoo Ia eternal damnation."
America isn't India. Hop on, dear
brothers and sisters, If you must, but
don't slip on the ''alluring floor"

An Apache Torture.

IFrom the St. Louis Globe Democrat.l
I'm the summer Of 1889, when the
Apaohes were raiding the ranches and
haciendas Of southern Arizona, says ThAd
r. Norris, 81 was private in Company Z,
stationed at Whipple barracks. The In
dians had caused the department eeaseless
trouble. We were kept on the march con-
tinually, but for two months we failed to
get close enough to them to become en-
gagged In q fight. One morning while
We were csmped at the base of the
Chiracon mountains, courier came
to the camp bringing the informs
ton that a band of about 200 rene
gsde bucks had attacked q small emil
grant train about ten miles away and had
killed the entire party. We were soon In
our saddles and were riding rapidly toward
the scens. The day was almost insuffer-
| ably hot. The sky was not obscured by q
single cloud and the sun beat down with
| excruoistiDg fierceness upon the weary rol-
| diers- When arrived upon the scene of
| the massacre we found the bodies lying
about on the burning sands horribly mutt
lated. We had made but short stop and
bad mounted our horses TO give chase 10
the redskins when heard faint groans. /.
was some time before we could locate the
place wheucs the sgoniElng sounds came.
Finally we found 1t. The Indians had
skinned one of the dead horses and
had sewed up 9 man (~hoss name was
Z r. Tsrleton from ohio) tightly In the
green hide. his body was doubled up and
the hide was closely tied about him. We
released him ss soon as we could, and sp-
piled restorstives that soon brought him
to himself. But when he gazsd around at
/ him cut his throat.
Tying Q man up In 8 green hide was Q
new mode of torture 70 the soldiers. They
had never seen Il before. But have since
learned that in the early days of that ter
| ritory 1t was not infrequently applied By
| the Chericans ss well as the Apschss.

There are upwards of forty Washingtons
In the postal directory, and, besides, thirty
States and one territory boast of county
of that name. Then there are such local
names as Washington Borough, Washing
ton Court House, Washington Grove,
Washington Heights, Washington Mills,
Washingtonville, and 30 on. The under
taking to have all these names done away
with is probably beyond even the enter
prise of the sanguine Pittsburgers. One
of them, Mr.. E. D. Wingenroth, ingenu-
ously says: ri suppose that the States,
counties, cities, etc., bearing the name win
offer the most strenuous objection to any

of the people will prevail, and when
