Woman's Ways.

A domestic wife is a blessing, but
not if she is too domestic.
A wife is willing to be obedient,
but she hates to be considered a
slave.
When woman says no she wants
you to insist upon her saying yes.
When a woman, her soul should
always be at least as well clad as her
body.
If a married woman commences as
a slave she will never regain her
freedom.
Very few married woman SIN even
in thought when they have good
husbands.
A great many woman transfer to
their baby the love they once had
for their husband.
Even when a woman is in love she
never forgets to see that her hat is
on straight.
The woman who is a good cook
can always retain the respect of her
husband, if not his love.
A woman should be chary with
her kisses and caresses even to her
husband. We get tired even of
canvas back duck, if we have it
every day,

Congressman Hart D ossn't Want Much.

Congressman Hart, the new men,
ber from this district, one of the two
Democrats elected from this state
last year, is not at all backward in
asking for things in Washington. He
asked Speaker Reed to put him on
the Committee ON Naval Affairs, one
of the most important committees in
the House, land one that requires a
knowledge of the navy, and Reed is
said to have smiled. This prompts
the Harrisburg Telegraph to remark.
"Mr. Hart's knowledge of naval af-
fairs was gained while navigating
the trout streams of Pike county, or
handling the oar on a raft in Pike
county lumber streams, or sail
ing around with his friends over
Salt river.

after sold his interest to Friend b.
Simons. We have a large grist mill,
one of the best in the county, and a
good miller, Vincent Runyon.
There are only a few families left
here. Those remaining are j. H.
Becker, former superintendent of

cREENrowN NOTES.

GREENTowN Dec. 18-On Sunday
Dec. 8, Evenger Hazelton, of this
place, was suddenly taken i'll and
rapidly grew worse until Monday
last when DIR. F. Gilpin was called
and found the young man suffering
with great pain in the bowels. On
examination he found that nothing
could pass the bowels, and supposed
they must be knotted or telescoped
to cause such severe pain, and sym
ptoms. Drs. Reed Burns and Bullock
of Scranton, assisted by Drs. Gilpin
and Simons, of Newfoundland, per-
formed an operation. They found
about seven feet of the small intes-
tines were contracted. They report
that is the first case of the kind oc-
curing in their practice and have
very little hopes that the patient
will recover. The young man is
about 20 years old and is a brother
of S. r. Hazelton, of the firm of
Hazelton and Kipp.

He is VERY MODEST
What Congressman Hart, Of This District,
Wanted Of Speaker Reed.

There are several in these two
boroughs who have, no doubt, seen
Hoyt's satirical comedy "a Texas
Steer, which in its portrayal shows
how one, Maverick Brander," a
Texan, is elected to Congress and al
though greenhorn of the worst
type is in a few days turned into a
man who knows what's what and
doesn't forget to ask for it.
Joseph j. Hart, the member of
Congress from this district has
turned into a Maverick Brander and
if he shows as much assurance in his
future life at the Capital as he has
already shown since Congress CON
vened he will get there In Trilby,
with both feet.
He is not at all backward in ask
ing for things in Washington. One of
them is that he buttonholed Speaker
Reed, and in a confident manner
asked that autocrat of the House to
place him ON the Committees on
Naval Affairs, one of the most i'm
portant committees in the House and
one that requires an intimate know
ledge of the navy.
1t is said that the speaker smiled
at the request of Mr.. Hart, but what
he said is not reported. If our pre-
sent Congressman keeps up at the
same rate he will introduce a bill fol
the removal of the Capitol to Milford
so as to be near his editorial sanctum

Flowing and narrowing.


In many sections these two operations
may not follow closely, but in windy
and dry climates they ought not to be
far apart, writes J. M. Rice Of Oklaho-
ma to Field, Farm and Fireside. He
says: If there is moisture in the ground
and as deep as we would like it, and
there is abundance of moisture in the
atmosphere, the narrowing might be
deferred for weeks, but the soil should
be watched and the narrowing be done
before clods FORM The usual condi-
lions here are that the surface for two
inches or more will dry out in day,
and it is a safe rule to harrow one days
blowing the following moi Ding. or if
there should be much dew or moisture
on the surface to harrow just after noon.
Either Of these ways is convenient in
regard to changing from pillow to bar
row and back again with the least loss
Of time We take our harrow to the field
at same time as the pillow, and the un-
hooking of the evener is but the work Of
q minute. narrowing thus before olods
form levels and smooths much quicker
and easier than afterward, but the pri-
mary thought generally here is to fine
the soil to prevent escape Of moisture.

CURING HE POTATO scAe.

How Farmers Do It In the Northwest With
Corrosive sublimate.
In regard to the use Of corrosive SUBJ,
Innate for the prevention Of soab on pc.
tatoes, in the northwest at least, the ex-
detrimental stage is past. In using the
corrosive sublimate every farmer will
have a best way, and each way will be
sure to be different. Here is the way
farmers do it in the northwest Follow
Ing is the story told by Wisconsin
farmer in q letter to Rural New Yorker:
II have a tank made of 2 inch
plank, foot deep by feet wide by IA
feet long. I selected q sunny place for
the work, as near the cellar as possible.
! lay down boards by the side of the
tank until have smooth floor about
16 feet square, for drying the potatoes
after soaking. fill the tank about one
half full of water, and to this add an
ounce of corrosive sublimate to each
eight gallons of water. The tank holds
about 80 bushels of potatoes, and this
amount Of water will cover them nicely.
I leave them in the solution Is hours,
and then with potato screen shovel
scatter them over the floor by the side
Of the tank. If the sun shines, they will
be dry in a few minutes, but we COM
mence cutting at once, as a wet potato
cuts easier than dry one. Do not be
afraid of cut or sore on the hands get
ting poisoned, for / have found that
keeping the hands wet for few days
in handling the potatoes from the above
mixture will cure cut or bruise Of
long standing. ~..>
'tThe only extra cost to me for put
ting the seed through this treatment is
the cost Of the corrosive sublimate,
which is 81 cents per ounce and the
cost Of shoveling the potatoes from the
tank to the platform, which at $3.50
per day amounts to cents per tank of
80 bushels, as it takes man 20 minutes
to clear the tank. Fifty ounces of oorro-
sive sublimate will do for 80 acres of
potatoes r64 cents per acre. AS tank
Of 80 bushels Of potatoes will plant
about three acres, the extra cost Of
handling per acre, at 5 cents per tank,
would be ~ cents. This, added to Ga
cents for the poison, makes only 81
cents per acre, as the cost of the treat
outside Of the tools. Some Of the
water will be wasted when shoveling
out the potatoes and should be made up
by adding more water and poison, in
the same proportion as at first'

thing becomes quiet, and the bees cease
to hover about the cluster more than
round an ordinary hive. Now is the
moment to take possession Of the swarm

the use of the whole hive. They no
longer draw up in line on each side Of
her as she moves along. Her guard Of
honor no longer surrounds her. She
seems fallen from her high rank. How
ever, the first bees which were disturbed
by her now follow, running like her
self, and spread alarm in their turn
among the rest of the population. The
road which the queen has Travelled is to
be recognized by the excitement she has
caused on her passage and which cannot
now be claimed. Very soon she has Wis

fever has become general. The delirium
takes possession of the whole republic.
The end of all this is general sortie.
