TEDIOUS SUFFERING FINDS RELII

HAvERHLL, n. H.-Many physicians
have pronounced as incurable, diseases
of the skin and blood. Mrs. Hodsdon of
this place abandoned the old method
used DR.. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
and was cured In October, 1890 Mrs,
Hodsdon suffered from diseased ankle
bone. She had always been troubled
with Salt Rheum which aggravated the
diseased limb. Prescriptions of all sorts
we're used, but with no benefit. DR.. Ken
nedy's Fayorite Remedy was tried and it
drove the poison out of her blood, healed
the ulcerous sores, and restored Mrs.
Hodsdon to health and strength. Fa-
vorite Remedy cleanses the blood, and
strengthens the nerves. In cases of scrof-
ula and salt rheum. it never fails.

TURKEYS GREAT GUNS.
Some Very Formidable Shots Fired Dur
ing the Reign of the amm

Some Very Formidable Shots Fired Dur
ing the Reign of the Mohammeds.
In 1479 Mohammed II, in forming
the siege of Scutari, in Albania, en-
ployed fourteen heavy bombards, the
lightest of which threw a stone shot
of $40 pounds weight, two sent shots
of 500 POUNDS, two OF $50 pounds,
two of $50 pounds, one of 1900
pounds, five of fifteen, and one of
the enormous weight Of 1,64O pounds,
enormous ever in these days,
for the only guns whose shots exceed
the heaviest of these are our 8O-ton
guns, throwing a 1,700-pound pro-
%jectile, our 100-ton throwing one Of
1000, and the 11O-ton, throwing an
1,80O-pound shot with a high velocity.
The stone shot of Mohammed's
guns varied between twenty and
thirty-two inches in diameter, says
Chambers Journal, about the height
of a dining table; 1884 of them were
fired on this occasion, weighing, ac-
cording to a calculation of Gen.
Lefroy's about 1000 tons, and were
cut Of the solid rock on the spot.
Assuming t~wenty-four inches as
the average diameter of the shot
fired at this siege, the total area, Of
the surface dressed was nearly 49,
600 square feet At this siege the
weight of the powder fired is esti-
mated by Gen. LEROY to have been
250 tons. At the siege of Rhodes, in
1880, Mohammed caused sixteen bas-
ilisks, or double cannon, to be cast
on the spot, throwing balls two or
three feet in diameter.
The Recovered City of Palestine.
The recovered city of Lachish"
In Palestine is one of the most in
teresting as well as one of the most
important of archaeological dis
%coveries in the orient. This ancient
city is mentioned in Joshua, and it's
site was unknown until three years
ago, when Professor Petrie happened
upon its ruins while digging in a
vast mound known locally as TeI-el-
Hesy. The great Importance of the
':fnd" lies in the fact that there are
eight ancient towns beneath tie
mound, each Except the irst} built
on an elder abandoned town.

How Many Stars in the Flag.

1t is remarked as singular, and
possibly an Indication of lack of
patriotism, that the average Ameri-
can, always excepting school chill
dren, cannot tell off-hand how many
stars there now are in his country's
flag. If any reader of this desires
to try the question on ten of his
friends he will probably find that
only three or four can give the cor
rect number even after a minute of
hard thought. The ordinary reply
will range from forty to forty-two
stars instead OF the correct forty
four. The admission within four
years of North Dakota, South Da-
kota, Montana, Washington, Idaho
and Wyoming has brought the list
up to the last mentioned number.
The shape of the union has been
changed from a square to a rectangle,
and the stars are arranged in six
straight lines, the upper and lower
ones containing eight stars and the
remaining four having sever stars.

Irrigation For Fruit.

Writing for Rural Life. ID. A.. Kent
has the following suggestion along the
line of irrigation for orchards in Iowa:
while a great deal is being said
about the possibilities of irrigation in
Iowa. l would like to see an expert
menti in the irrigation of an orchard.
! am Of the opinion that our apple
trees would stand the winter much
better were we SO situated that we
could thoroughly irrigate before going
into winter quarters. The dry pierre
ing winter winds. are the bane of the
apple tree in winter time and the drv.
.scorching winds of the destroy
what escapes the winter. whereas by
irrigation the drouth might also be
avoided. An orchard will weld a
much greater return for irrigation
than any Of the hoed crops i have
long been Of the opinion that it is the
dry winds of both winter and summer
that play havoc with the Iowa
orchard, and temperature and soil
conditions do not stand in the way of
successful apple culture"
