dustless air turn a current OF steam

PEAR BLIGHT.

Oalomel Said to be a Sure Preventive OF
the Blight
The Orchard and Garden publishes
the following article by DR.. J. Hcnse-
ley, of Missouri, describing a remedy
for pear blight:
"Some three years ago l was talking
with an orchardist and remarked that
I had an idea of planting fruit. He
said: Doctor, if you want to plant
fruit plant pears. l will give you a
remedy for the blight and you can
make a fortune out of it, lie told
me OF an orchard near Memphis,
Tenn, which had made the owner
some money but blight was beginning
to kill the trees and the owner was
discouraged. A lady offered to tell
him remedy that would stop the
blight. lie applied the remedy and
had no more blight for seven or eight
years. When 1t began again the same
remedy checked it. I saw a son OF
this DIR. Scruggs three years ago. He
said he had used the same remedy
with success. This Mr.. Scruggs told
Rishop Payne OF this remedy. ! saw
Mrs. Payne last summer year ago.
She said that the pear orchard tt
which this remedy was applied in 1877
was still alive and bearing regularly
every year.

Tramp" in Edgewood Folks.
Come join the ranks Of the commonweal
And give old Uncle Sam a spiel,
Tell how it makes your stomach feel
To march with Coxey's army.
They give us clothes and soap and boots,
Soap and boots, soap and boots,
We trade the soap for cigaroots
For the boys in Coxey's army.
When we get up to Washington
Wen find out how that treasury's run,
And make them divy with the "mon"
For the boys in Coxey's army.
J. s. Coxey is our scout,
Some towns they hail with a shout,
While others fire ms bodily out
Because we're Coxey's army.
Sometimes our luck runs fairly we'll,
Fairly well, fairly well,
And then again it's simply
For the boys in Coxey's army.
Sometimes they feed us quite enough
OF hotel scraps and all such stuff;
OF course the whole thing is bluff
This joining Coxey's army.
Wen take bath, nice sea foam,
Send Grover word we're far from home,
And want the loan Of his brush and comb,
To slick up Coxey's army.
He'll send it out for he's getting scared,
Getting scared, getting scared,
1t won't be long he'll be gray haired
On account Of Coxeys army.
Wen camp on Uncle Sans estate,
And all swing on the White House gate
Till he makes those devils legislate
For the boys in Coxey's army.
We only want what's on the square,
Call in the "mon" from everywhere,
Give every man an equal share,
Especially Coxey's army.
If in year we blow it in,
Blow it in, blow it in,
And big bugs get it back again
Away from Coxey's army;
Why then well just reorganize,
Form into line and march the ties,
And show 'em they can't monopolize
The boys in Coxey's army.
Old Grove thinks it's disgrace
From Coxcy down we're "of our base"
The whole thing is "wild goose chase,
| BY Coxey and his army.
! You see he's "wild" for that amt so,
That amt so, that amt so,
lfit is why Groves the "goose" you kno
That's "chascd" BY Coxey's army.
II with our scheme we have bad luck,
, And find in Washington we're stuck,
Wen ask Grove out to "chase the duck
Along with Coxey's army.

THC TATOOED MAN.



The defenders OF Colonel StOckdale
and that gentleman himself are in
peculiar straits just now to find a
defense, and In the absence OF any
thing else to offer, some deny offhand
the charges preferred against him,
without attempting to adduce any
proof to rcfute them, while Others and
the colonel himself plead the statute
of Limitation. They say it makes no
difference II the colonel has been a
Republican and Populist by turns,
with strong tincture Of sub-treasury-
ism in him and his speeches In the
meantime, that he has been a Demo-
crat for the last eight years, and his
fcalty to the party during that time
has not been questioned; he should
not be charged with recalcitrancy
now. Well, the colonel would be very
foolish il he had turned against the
Democratic party during those eight
wears when through its means he was
tanning the public crib for about s5O,-
600. He felt, no doubt, that he could
afford to be truly loyal and earnest
Democrat under such circumstances.
Some of the colonel's friends plead
the "baby act," too, and say that
other men became recalcitrants at the
same time he did; such an argument
lis weak and silly; the "other men"
are not aspitnts for Democratic pre-
ferment just at this time, and the
oppouents of Colonel StOckdalc are
not dealing with them. The eyes OF
true and honest Democrats will not
; be blinded by such puffs of dust, nor
will their attention be diverted from
the main issue thereby. 1t is Stock
Q dale's record that is undergoing a

Chicago women,s Practical Charity.

The practical ability of women in be-
nevolent work has been recently illus
trated ut Chicago, where, while the
"good citizens committee" did nothing
but plan and talk, Mrs. Mary Ahrens,
president Of the Cook County Suffrage
association, paid the rent out of her own
pocket of two stores on Wabash avenue
and circulated requests for supplies. The
people who were only waiting until the
red tape should be sufficiently unwound
for their gifts to reach the needy re-
sponded freely, and $4,000 men have
been housed and fed. The G. A. r. La
dies have free soup kitchen at 66 Pa
ciic avenue, where thousands are fed
daily. The Hebrew ladies' charitable
societies have another. The Catholic
Ladies' Aid society is doing practical
work. The Chicago Woman's club is
doing great deal Of work among the
women and children. And all this while
the various citizens committees were
organizing and planning and figuring
how much money would be needed

Women's Exchange.

The women of certain city are pro-
posing to establish an exchange for wom-
ems work that shall provide the material
for underclothing, fine embroidery and
all such articles as are salable, and buy
them at once from the makers, paying
them certain sum for their labor. The
articles are then to be disposed of at a
public sale or private sale at reasonable
rates, covering the cost of material and
labor. Charities managed in this way
in England have proved successful. The
women of another city announce to the
public that they have established a bu-
reau where mending of all kinds will be
done at the residences or taken away
and make particular appeal to bach
elors and business women to avail them
selves of its advantages. Women seam
stresses are also provided to make boys
clothing out of old material. New York

A report that a ladies' fencing club Is

be recruited from among the best sets,
and their numbers are to be very re-

every one will want to join, but only
adopts with the foils will be admitted
and men vigorously excluded, not only
from membership, but also from the
monthly fencing matches, to which lady
