The following interesting letter

MY DEAR BROTHER:-l received your
kind and welcome letter and it is need
less to say that it took me by surprise.
As you possibly know, we Left Savannah,
Ga, on the 21st. OF january, bound for
Havana, and were three days on the
water, landing at Havana on Jan. oath.
We passed the wreck OF the Maine, but
not much is visible OF the same except
the big masts and few large iron bars.
1t made me feel had to see the wreck OF
such pow erful vessel lying in the dirty
waters of the harbor throug the treach-
erous hand of man.
Icannot tell you much about Havana,
as there is much sickness at that place
and we are not allowed to visit the city.
Our camp 10 about 3 miles from the city,
but am told that the streets are very
dirty, and the buildings are OF ancient
design, without windows, and square
holes cut INTO the wall to admit light

A village clergyman tells this story:
lie was walking through the outskirts
of his parish one evening, when lie saw
one OF his Pensioners very busy white
washing his cottage. Pleased at these
somewhat novel signs of cleanliness. he
called out: "Well, Jones, l see you
are making your house nice and smart"
With a mysterious air, Jones, who had
recently taken the cottage. descended
from the ladder. and slo sly walked
the hedge which separated the garden
from the road. That's not 'xactly
the reason why I'm a doing this ere
Job, - he whispered. ''but the last two
couples as lived in this ere cottage 'ad
. twins; so says to my missus, I'll take
an whitewash the place, so as there
mayn't be no infection. Ye see, sir.
as 'ow we got ten children already. -

Butchering hogs has many disagree
able features, but some Of these, par
ticularly the lifting of the hogs before
and after dressing. can be robbed Of
many Of their objections by having a
convenient arrangement for scaldlng,
scraping, cleaning and hanging. One
for tightening labor in
this way is shown in the accompanying
Illustration. The farm sled can be used
as the scraping platform b. The scald-
ing vat a may be any large barrel
which will hold water. Securely block
and brace it so that 1t will not be dis
placed in putting the hog in and taking
1t out. In the iron kettle, c, the water
is heated. The hog is killed and drawn
along the side of the scraping platform
opposite the iron kettle. Instead of
lifting the carcass onto the platform by
band, make use of the pivotal lever at
tached to the post d. Place a chain
about the hind legs of the hog hook the
short end of the lever into this chain
and the hog is lifted easily. The post d
is equally distant from the platform b
and posts g, and f.

all the hair removed put in the gam
brels and with the lever lift them from

lost when suffering from disease of the
organs or derangement of the nervous cen-
ters. Afew instances of cure we give as
proof positive of the superiority of cleo
tricity over other methods Of cure:

The weekly mending is always so
much of a bore that the happy thought
of applying the old adage, "A stitch in
time" to this dreaded task has set me
wondering why have allowed myself
to be troubled so long. Upon my dress
ing table l keep in n little tray a needle,
thread and some darning cotton. Every
night when l remove my stockings |
look them over-a glance suffices-and
/ find the little holes that begin to come
vastly easier to mend than the yawn-
ing caverns that would otherwise be
awaiting me on Tuesday. And so it is
with other things. Sewing on a button
or catching together a tiny rip here and
there takes scarcely a minute, but the
sum total of these rips and buttons
would make a large inroad upon one
precious week day morning otherwise.
Perhaps this scheme will not commend
itself to mothers. Certainly n half
dozen pairs of stockings, big and little,
could not be mended every morning
before breakfast, but it is admirable
in the still economy of bachelor girls
domain. and ought to be followed by
many of the girls who believe in the
old Remington saying, ITO save time
IS TO lengthen life."-M. l. McNeal, in
Orange Judd Farmer.

Buttermlk possesses many valuable
qualities not generally recognized by
farmers and dairymen. Some recent
medical tests have proven that as an
agent of digestion buttermilk has no
superior on the farm. 1t is of great
value in typhoid fever and, being a lax
alive. is excellent for habitual consti-
patton. AS a remedial agent in kidney
troubles it possesses good features, aud
in cases of gastric ulcer and cancer OF
the stomach it can be retained when
no other food will remain. These facts

cal virtues of buttermilk utilized in re-

Wherever lawns are highly MANFRED,
as most well-kept lawns are apt to be,
a dressing of salt sometime during the
winter will greatly benefit them. Salt
in small quantities, as it must be used
when applied to land, is one Of the best
solvents known. We are so used to
putting salt in extra amounts to hard
en- and pick vegetables that we are apt
TO forget that in very small amounts it
rots them. Salt is especially valuable
to release mineral fertilizers that have
become inert in the soil.
