When four DAYS old my babe broke out over

We called the family doctor, and he said that
"he could heal them up,' but "the baby
would never have any more hair on his head"
and we we're completely discouraged. We
were told to try CUTIcURA REMEDIES and
did so. We used two boxes of CUTICURA, two
cakes of CUTICURA SOAP, and he now is all
right. The hair is on thick, and you would
never think there was anything the matter

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

A well-known orchardist always
stops cultivating the orchard in July to
allow the wood to harden up.
The growing of Seeding apples is
not very encouraging business. But
we need varieties in the west.
There are thousands of fruit trees
that have died from utter neglect.
Throwing away money when there was
no sort of excuse for it.
The demand for fruit and flowers is
constantly on the increase. Women liv-
ing near a large town could study fori-
culture and grow flowers with profit.
Among the failures OF apple culture
may be conspicuously mentioned
changcable winters, bad locations, un-
suitable varieties, indifferent culture
end insects. s.ssz
1t is the opinion of an apple grower
that noreast slope with a bowldeI
clay soil is the best place to plant an
apple orchard, but we cannot all get
that kind o: location or soil to plant on

How the Charming Buyer Got to the
windward of the Merchant.
"What won't merchants nowadays
do in order to gain business advan-
tage?" asked the drummer from Ohio,
and then partially answered his own
question by saying:
Il went into n big department store
last week / found that the buyer for
my line of goods was a woman, a

You'd have sworn she was dead in love
with him. She called him by his first
name, leaned her head confidingly
against his as they looked over the
samples and insisted on pinning the
goods into his scarf and shirt front,
to sec how they would look. As re-
suit, she bought all she wanted for q

HOMEMADE sIRUPs.
The Most Delicious Are Made of Common
Sugar.

The Most Delicious Are Made of Common
Sugar.
The most delicious sirups for buck
wheat cakes are those made at home
from sugar. Either maple sugar, gran.
ulated or pure brown sugar may be
used. When the pure brown sugar of
the cane can be obtained, as it can on
sugar plantations in the south, this is
as delicious rs any maple strip. I'm
fortunately, it is no longer an article
of commerce. The only brown sugar
we have is the refuse of the cane sugar
which will not become refined. The old
fashioned brown sugar was the pure
cane sugar, from which the white sugar
il made. 1t is still valued in the south,
and is sometimes sent to the north to
special customers in boxes of oranges
or other southern produce, If the pure
brown sugar cannot be obtained, it IL
cheaper to use granulated sugar, be-
cause it is considerably sweeter than
the refuse brown sugar Of to-day. Add
to five pounds of sugar about pint of
water, or only enough to melt it. Boil
it three minutes, so it will not go back
to sugar. This will make delicious
heavy sirup. If you wish it thinner use
more water, but it is not as good as
when thicker. &asaa& 2" aaarst 3h'
The prettiest sirup cups for light
sirups are those of old-fashioned wedge
wood with silver top. They cost much
less than vulgar-looking pitchers of
snowy plated ware, and with care will
last lifetime. An English majolica
cup or pitcher, as some persons prefer
to call them. is q picturesque piece.
1t seldom costs over dollar, and is a
heavy, glossy ware, richly colored and
without tho raised figures of the COM
mon maiolicn of the shops. 1t is not
easy TO find in this country, even in
the large cities. There are certain
shapes in Flanders girls, intended for
mcrly for covered beer mugs, which
make, very strong and picturesque strip
holders. This ware is never expensive,
and can always be found in large city
shops where German wares are sold.
The only objection to the use of this
ware is it's rough surface and raised
figures, which unfit it for any general
use in the kitchen or on the table.-N.

4 Popular Demand for Them Is Being

Massachusetts, has probably taken a
more advanced position than any other
state i'll appropriating money raised by
taxation for road purposes, and is aid
ing townships and counties with lib
eral amounts, when equal appropria-
tions are made by them, and it is pos
sible that state has devised methods
aud plans for constructing roads that
will be the nearest perfect, and also in
economy in spending money appropri-
atcd.
With my acquaintance with country
roads and streets in the cities of north
ern Pennsylvania, more than 80 years,
1t seems to me that one of the most
important problems, even when lib
eral amounts of money are appropri-
ated, is the question how to expend
the money to derive proper value. The
custom which prevails in our section
is to lay road taxes which are worked
out by the landholders, under super
visors or roadmasters, in an Indifferent
way and at their convenience, after
crops are in and the hoeing done, in

PACKING BUTTER.
Method by Which tho Delicate Flavor
Nav Re Preserved.


Good butter may be safely packed 10
keep six months or more if the right
way is taken. 1t used to be done years
ago, when 1t was the custom to keep the
surplus product for sale then, there
being no winter dairying to supply the
demand. The butter must be naturally
good and sweet and worried quite free
from the buttermilk by thorough wash
ing. There need be no fear that this
will hurt the butter for it cannot take
anything from It, the fat being wholly
insoluble in water, and only the but
termilk will be washed ort of 1T, which
1t must be, or it will be detriment to
the butter, as producing changes of the
fat into volatile acids. by which the but
ter is made strong and finally rancid.
The best packages for this use are
glazed earthen jars or sweet, clean
white oak or spruce tubs, painted or
vanished on the outside. The tubs
are soaked in brine, then scalded, then
washed in two or three water S, then
rubbed with fine salt inside, and while
wet the butter is packed N them, being
firmly pressed down so az to leave no
vacancies in the mass. HE ~

is tied down firmly, then parchment
paper and then one more cloth. The air
is thus excluded, and the butter will be
as good or a little better than when it
was packed, as it undergoes ripenlng

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; eGectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
end permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup Of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup

the latter part of June, or else when
farm work is mainly finished in the
fall. Much of the time during the
year the cobblestones remain on the
streets, drainage imperfect, but the
tax is worked out, and the road must
care for itself most of the year. a.
This method prevails in this city.
Road taxes to the amount of 900
to $4,000 are levied to keep the out
lying streets that are not paved in
condition. This money, under our
municipal arrangement, is parceled out
to some 20 councilmen to spend in their
wards, and twice year, late spring
and fall, the councilman has some
clever man, In whose charge is num-
Der of old men, who have done their
best day 's}work long ago. They are put
to work on the streets, and they have
an easy time; the taxpayers get less
than 25 per cent. for their money, and
the public gets disreputable streets to
pass over. One of the greatest mis-
takes, am led to believe, is the want
of knowledge on the part of those who
have the expanding of the money APP
propriated for road purposes.
If the state or the general govern
ment, through the agricultural depart
ment, would offer few thousand dol
lars, say for five best methods of build
ing and repairing roads, and then have
q congress composed Of engineers and
other capable men to canvass these
propositions and agree on manual
which could be formulated. with proper
illustrations, with all the questions
that would be useful to persons who
might have the care of roads, it would
be of the first Importance. Then there
should be for each state or county q
board of engineers, who should each
year, under direction of county COM
missioners, make surveys of the roads,
presenting diagrams, which should be
filed and topics given to supervisors,
with proper instructions for caring
for the roads.
Engineers and those having care of
railroa1, beds understand that they
should be protected by thorough drain
age, but this is taken small account
of in streets and country roads. Let
the civil service rules apply to super
visors and roadmasters, and no one be
Permitted to act as such until he had
been examined by the board of county
engineers, answering fully all the ques-
tions laid down in the manual, as
above, and his appointment approved
by the court. He should be required to
spend the money appropriated for
roads in faithful manner. paying
The usual wages in the district, and to
employ able men to do the work.
Proper penalties should be inflicted for
failure of duty OH the part of anyone
intrusted with the expenditure of
money raised for road taxes; and all
taxpayers should be vigilant in see
ing that supervisors and roadmasters
are prompt in keeping roads in repair
all the year, instead of one or two
months.-William III. Richmond, Scran-
ton, Pa, in n. Y. Tribune.
