ACNE, OR BLACKHEADS.
Treatment OF These Troublesome BIotches
the Face.

We often see an otherwise good
complexion marred by blackheads, and
many people speak of the affection as
worms Of the skin. This is incorrect.
The appearance is caused by the
blocking of the oll-glands of the skin.
If one of the glands be squeezed,
worm shaped mass of fat will rise to the
surface. 1t is this fat, which has be.
come blackened on its external sur
face, that forms the SO called blackhead
or what is no worm at all, says the
New York Ledger. The pressure
within the obstructed ducts often give
rises to inflammation in the tissue I'M
mediately surrounding them, which
often runs on to, first, redness OF the
skin and then mattering Of the spot,
sometimes on scale extensive enough
to leave a permanent thlckening or
actual scar.
Some difference OF opinion exists as
to whether these accommodations
should be squeezed out at all, either
by the finger and thumb, or watch
key. We are inclined to think they
should be removed, if the operator
has the knack OF doing If, and if at
tempted, before red ring has appeared
around the black spot. 1t must be
remembered that when acne appears
not only on the face, but on the neck
and back-lt probably requires more
than local treatment, and should be
deaf with by the doctors; and in any
case, good deal of patience is re.
quired to effectually treat the skin affec.
ton. We advise our readers TO use
the Rus sian or vapor bath but once
week, and also a hot water bath at
home, and when lying in the bath, to
pick up Systematically every part OF the
affected area of the skin and mold it
by the fingers. The free and unob-
structed action of the skin is thus pro-
NOTED.
Some lotions are recommended, and
many of them contain giycerine but
our experience indicates that glycerine
should not be applied, as its ten
dency is to cause coarseness and
obstrucucn of the pores.
And remember that all affections OF
the face are aggravated by tight lacing,
the excessive use of stimuants, pastry
and new bread, and the absence of
liberal use of fresh fruit and green
vegetables. We regard the use of the
lemon as most desirable as a promoter
Of both health and beauty. The old
adage, "eat lemon every day and
you will never die" is of course, exag-
gera.ed, but, at least, it points to the
benefits likely 10 follow the frequent
use of this classic fruit.

CHICKEN CHOLERA.
There is no Cure for 1t When Once 1t Has
Taken Hold.

The true foul plague. or chicken
cholera, is very rare disease, and
many times when flock begins to die
off rapidly the trouble is simply bowel
complaint, arising from improper food
or from drinking impure water, and
when this is the case, the remedy is to
improve the food and surroundings
There is no cure for chicken cholera
when once it has fixed itself or IL
victim, says the PoultryWorld, and the
very thing to do is to kill the afflicted
fowls, and burn their bodies or bury
them deeply in some remote corner.
When cholera once begins lis ravageS
the sick fowls should be taken away
from the well ones, and the whole
poultry house sprinkled with solution
of one part corrosive sublimate to
twenty five hundred parts OF water.
The corrosive sublimate is a deadly
poison, and must he handled carefully.
Put teaspoonful of carbolic acid in
each quart of drinking water tie fowls
have, and arrange so that they must
drink this or nothing. This will act as
preventive.
If anyone does not desire to use
the corrosive sublimate, use solution
OF ten pounds of sulphate OF copper
(blue vitrioD and twenty gallons Of
water. With this the whole premises
may be thoroughly sprlnkled, and it
will tend 10 purify them. Cleanliness
and attention to food and water will
keep cholera away from any place.
The writer was told when he bought
the place where he now lives that 1t
was impossible to raise chickens there
because OF the cholera. This is the
| fifth season on the place, and chickens
have been kept in large numbers all
the time, and not a single case that
had the appearance of cholera has ever
been observed, and we never had
healthier fowls than we have there.

THE MODEL MOTHER.

A home must, indeed, be worthy of
It's name, not mere refuge from the
weather, a place for meals, or a shelter
in sleeping hours. Has any song ever
made so deep an impression upon the
whole human race as "Home. Sweet
Homer" And with the sacred word
"home" is always connected the word
"mother." The model mother begins
her work before the birth of her child,
in that she cultivates a pure, calm,
noble and happy frame of mind, always
considering the greatest physical, moral
and mental development of her child,
and usisg every means in her power
for the attainment of this intensely
important object.
Cleanliness must be taught early TO
the little ones, for healthy and we'll
Kept body is necessary to the full
development of a perfect mind. The
golden opportunities for the mother lie
in that formative period which we caa
childhood.
The model mother makes cheerful
home-one where work and pleasure
are blended into a harmonious whole:
one where there is always something to
occupy the restless minds of active
boys and fun loving girls, some loving
act of mutual helpfulness to be done,
leaving no IDLE hours in which the tares
may be sown among the wheat.
The model mother never forgets
that she was child herself, never
forgets. that time and expense are well
invested in making home the brightest
and most attractive place on earth.
Legitimate pleasures always add to the
moral and intellectual development,
and subordinate evil forces, if any such
exists. The model mother must rise
to the dignity OF her own individual
life, ministering to the wants of her
family in the fear of God and the love
of all humanity.
You will get no more out of life than
you put into it. Hence, to make the
lives of your children successful and
happy, put into training all of energy,
intellect and love that you possess
One has truly said: May we ever
bear in mind that we are stewards, not
only OF the manifold grace of God, but
of every other blessing we enjoy, and
that we are accountable not merely for
those committed to our care, but for
the proper application of the means
with which We aEe furnished for their
support and complete development
into perfect men and women, COM
petent to perform the important duties
OF life.
The model mother does not expect
old heads on young shoulders; she
mingles with her children and sympa-
thizes with their plans, hopes and fears.
She is never indifferent to their smallest
interests; nor does she raise herselfun
to pedestal of frlgid superiority. She
opens up to her children the higher
and more enncbling channels of
thought; she gives them ideas from her
own pure and lofty character.

ADVICE ABOUT BUYING HORSES.
How to tell Their FaiIings Before You Get
Home.

An old horseman says, in the
Maryland Farmer: If you want to
buy horse, don't believe your own
brother. Take no mans word for it.
Your eye is your market. Don't
buy horse in harness. Unhltch
him and take off everything but his
halter and lead him around. If he
has corn or is stiff or has any fail
ing you can see it. Let him 90
away himself and if he walks right
into anything you know that he is
blind. No matter how clear and
bright his eyes are, he can't see any
more than a bat. Back him too.
Some horses show their weaknesses
or tricks in that way when they
don't in any other. But be as smart
as you can, you'll get caught some.
times. Even the expert gets stuck.
A horse may look ever so nice and
60 great pace and yet have fits.
There isn't man who could tell it
until something happens. Or he
may have weak back. Give him
the whip and off he goes for a mile
or two, then all OF a sudden he stops
on the road. After rest he starts
again, but he soon stops tor good,
and nothing but derrick can start
him.
The weak points about a horse
can better be discovered while stand
ing than while moving. Ii he is
sound he will stand firmly and
squarely on his limbs without NOV
ing them, with legs Pump and
naturally poised; or if the foot is
taken from the ground and the
weight taken from it, disease may
be suspected, or at least tenderness,
which is the precursor of disease.
II horse stands with his feet spread
apart, or straddles with his hind legs
there is weakness in his loins and
the kidneys are disordered. Heavy
pulling bends the knees. Blush,
milky cast eyes in horses indicate
moon blindness Or something else.
A bad tempered one keeps his ears
thrown BACK; a stumbling horse has
blemished knees. When the skin is
rough and harsh and does not move
easily to the touch, the horse is
heavy eater, and digestion bad.
Never buy horse whose breathing
organs are at all impaired. Place
you ear at the heart, and if Wheel
ing sound is heard it is an indication
of trouble.

A correspondent states that when
the hot DAYS in June come the cut
worms would be killed, then vegetation
Corn especially, would be exempt
from its ravages.
ind many persons believe that
such is the case because occasionally
cut worm is found dead lying on the
surface of the ground at hill of corn or
other plant. Some persons think from
such observation that the worm has
been induced to eat too much and if IS
bursted by the action of the sun.
The farmer should from the advan-
tage of continual observation be the
best informed person in the community
on such subjects, but the contrary is the
case generally, because he does not
always start from the right point, in
fact it takes a great deal of time and
observation to ascertain any particular
line of investigation in natural history.
insect life has four we'll marked and
distinct forms viz:
Flrst-the egg.
Sacond-the larva or worm.
Third-tbe crysalis Or domant stage.
Fourth-the perfect insect.
Take the cut worm especially, we
will find early in the spring against
some clod, stone or tuft of grass large
number of small worms sometimes
amounting to hundreds about an eighth
of an inch long. These small
worms scatter in different directions
seeking food, and if too soon for green
growth will subsist upon vegetable fibre
in The soil.
When these small worms grow to as
large size as their skins will permit
they will cast off the outer skin when
they are ready to grow little larger
until this skin is filled, when it Is
moulded again, so on from three TO five
times until full growth is attained, when
the domant stage is reached, when eat
ing ceases and the form changes to
the chrysalis which in appearance
resembles balm Of gilead bud ; after
beng in this stage for week or two,
the chrysalis bursts and full grown
moth fly comes forth.
Now in the evening when the lamp
is lit there will be seea a neutral COL
ored mothhy about three fourths of an
inch long fllttering around the lamp,
this is the cut worm in its last stage.
These same changes are taking place
in the wire worm and grub worm, but
the perfect insect is a beetle or bug
instead of moth fly or butterfly
We give more attention to insects
when they are injuring our crops which
is so often in the second or larval stage.
A familiar example is found in the
potato bug. the egy is layed upon a
leaf, it changes to larya and after
moulline several times it is full grown
larva or legged worm which passes
into the ground, changes to chrysalis
then coming out complete bug or
beetle ready to undergo its changes
again.
The butterfly lays it egg upon leaf,
matches into acatterpiler, eats the leaves
around it, moults several times and
after weaving cocoon around itself
passes to resting place or dormant
stage inside the cacoon where the
chrYsalis is hidden until the final trans
formation comes forth as complete
insect or butterfly. w. X. GRosH.

was called. Forty-six senators responded.
The senators were getting ready to return
to the place whence they had come when
Mr.. Quay moved to go into executive ses-
sion. Most of them halted at the doors
and answered to their names, and Mr..
Pugh stretched himself out on one of the
sofas against the wall. When the roll was
called, he answered without arising from
his comfortable position. Here! That
won't do" said Senator Hunton of Vir-
ginia in a voice loud enough to be heard in
the press gallery opposite. every senator
who answers to his name in recumb bent
position is subject to fine of basket of
champagne" The senator smiled and
nodded approvingly.
|, Mr.. Quay's motion was lost-32 to IL.
Mr.. Hoar then arose and asked Senator
Voorhees, for the estimates of importations
upon which the customs duties provided
for in the tariff bill We're based. Mr.. Voor-
| hees replied that the answer to the ques-
ton was very difficult one. All esti-
mates as to the amount of importations
under the pending bill were in his opinion
purely conjectural, and the finance COM
mittee had not INDUCED in much guess
work. The house had furnished good
field for such estimates, but the finance
committee had rejected them. 1t was only
DESTROYS of furnishing sufficient revenue
government. There never had been time
in the history of the government when it
was as difficult to estimate things CONNER
cial as now. This was not the only coun-
try where business was depressed. The
whole world was under cloud of stagna-
ton. This was one reason why he had ar
IDENTIFY favored sure revenue features in
the bill-the income tax, for instance.
This condition of affairs partly reconciled
him to a tax sugar. If there was one
thing of which he had a terrific horror, it
was the idea of having his name associated
with bill entitled "a bill to raise revenue
that fell short of providing necessary reve-
nue. to keep the government machinery in
motion"
Mr.. Hoar insisted that the committee
must have had some figures upon which
to base an estimate, but Mr.. Voorhees, de-
clared they had not. The committee, he
said, had believed that under freer trade
relations importations would increase and
there might have been some conjectural
estimates, but nothing he would care to
announce officially.
The hour set for the Democratic caucus
having arrived, the senate adjourned on
motion of Mr. Harris
