Game seekers on Colonel ]. ]. Astor's estate
at Rhinebeck have been so reckless that the
owner is obliged to take measures to bar them
out. One of the house servants narrowly es-
capped grave injury from gunshot fired close
to the mansion by one OF those blunderers who
handle firearms as II no human beings had ever
teen hurt by carelessness. Effective action Is
called for to keep such people in check.

The one addressed carefully laid
down his paper, removed his glass
es and faced his questioner.
"My friend" he commenced. Sin
order for us to discuss this subject
with any degree Of intelligence, we
must first understand EACH other.
BY this suppose you refer to the

The thermometer-at least the

degrees in the shade. That is

suffered sunstrokes, | understand,

brow. That one would prove that
your brow was heated, or else, as
is possible, understand, you may
be suffering from a cold sweat.
However, believe the perspiration
on your brow is caused by heat.
Therefore with five or six sunstrokes
within the last hour, the sweat run

his back, not even responding when
his friend reached over and pulled
him violently by the shoulders.

A BIG FIRE.

The fire which destroyed the i'm
mense Swamp Root medicine plant
OF DR.. Killmer & Co., July 1, was
the most disastrous which has ever
occurred in Binghamton. However,
the Kilmers resumed business next
morning, though not at the old
stand, which is heap Of shoulder
ed ashes. While the firo.nen were
yet pouring water on the burning
Chenango street establishment, the
killmers were arranging to do bust
ness somewhere else.
That this great industry might
not be crippled for a moment,
through the courtesy Of other prom
inent firms and citizens the large
factory and adjoining buildings on
South street were vacated for the
benefit Of the Swamp Root people,
and possession was taken immedi-
ately, and here by Monday, July 8,
this new temporary factory will be
turning out Swamp Root, the great
Kidney Remedy, in quantities OF
about 10000 bottles per day, and
in two or three weeks time the full
capacity Of more than four times
that amount will be produced.
The immense demand for Swamp
Root will thus in no way be inter.
fered with.
On the old site, with adjoining
property which has just been pur
chased, will be erected Immediate
ly an absolutely fire proof six-story
structure, plans for which have been
nearly completed.

Farmers to build Railroads.

The farmers of the rich Covello wheat
: district in Washington are planning to
build railroad outlet for their grain,
to be known as the Columbia & Covello
railway, tie-up between the Northern
Pacific and the Oregon railway & Navi-
cation company having left them with
out transportation facilities. These
wheat growers pay large sums to haul
their crops to Dayton and other points,
some paying as high as 81, 900 each year
for this purpose, and they conclude
that they might just as well put their
money into a railroad of their own.
They propose to take stock in the new
company, some paying cash. others
working out their shares grading the
roadbed. Should the weather be at all
favorable, the grading will be complet-
ed by spring. The new company incor-
porates with 100000 shares of stock at
q par value of one dollar each.

COLD IN THE HEAD.
How to Check the Affection Before
1t Descends and Involves
the Lungs.

There is at this season an almost
universal tendency to catch cold"
This conventional expression signifies
nothing less than inflammation of the
mucous membrane which lines the nos
trils, and extends throughout the respi
ratory organs to the most minute bron-
chial passages. A current of cold air
striking upon the neck CIR throat, a
draught from an open door or window,
exposure to a cold atmosphere, improp-
er protection of the feet in cold or
stormy weather-any of these, to say
nothing of graver causes, is often suffi-
cient to provoke the dreaded complaint.
IF the disease does not extend down
the windpipe to the lungs, producing
"cold in the chest" accompanied with
cough, it may easily be checked if taken
at the start, for an almost certain rem
edy for this disagreeabie affection is
camphor in liquid form.
Fill a cup about one-thivd full of
strong camphor, add to this enough
boiling water to make it steam, then in
hale it in the nostrils, drawing as long
breaths as possible. At first it will
seem unbearable, but you must perse-
we're if you would have the cure effectu-
al Keep it up five or ten minutes, and
repeat in three or four hours. Also
grease the bridge of the nose and the
forehead just above the nose with cam
phorated oil, letting it dry in by the heat
from stove. Then put a tablespoon
full Of sugar in a goblet, add a table
spoonful of camphor, stir it, fill the
glass half full of water, and take a
tablespoonful every half hour.-Ladies'

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Peach trees suffer the most from
standing in the thick grass, and cherry
and pear the least of any of the fruit
trees.
The objection to trying to grow
grapes in the orchard among the fruit
trees is that the grapes need all the
sunshine possible.
Mulching of fruit trees at this time is
help in delaying poisoning in the
spring, and in this way injury from late
frosts may be prevented.
Most fruit trees thrive best on rolling
land. Fruits are less liable to injury
by frosts on rolling land than on level
land, even though the latter be high and
dry.

In nearly all cases large seed are bet

nutriment to the young plants than the

ARE QUITE USEFUL.
Earth-Worms Perform Lots OF Work
That Is of Great Use to Farm-
ers and Gardeners.

'Ugly looking creatures. we ex-
crawling about the garden beds in
the early morning or after rain.
But let us look upon them with q
more kindly eye and consider the
great work they do in the earth.
Darwin and Henson have proved their
intelligence and their wonderful pow
ers of preparing the earth for seed
lings. Although not SO low in the
scale as the prevalent superstition
would indicate, they cannot see or
hear. They show some intelligence
in lining their burrows, usually seiz-
ing leaves, etc, by their pointed ends.
Leaves not only serve to line and to
plug their burrow, but also for food.
They feed, likewise, upon the or
ganic matter in the soil, which they
swallow in great quantities and eject
in the form of familiar Castings
II has been estimated that about ten
tons of earth in each acre of ground
pass annually through their bodies in
places where they are numerous. By
this means fresh surfaces are contin-
ually exposed to the action of carbon
dioxide and the humus acids, and are
thus decomposed and disintegrated.
These worms prepare the ground
excellently for seedlings, They sift
the soil so that no stones larger than
they can swallow are left in it. They
mix it, as does a gardener who wishes
to prepare fine soil for his choicest
plants. They cover up bones, etc,
thus bringing them in more or less
decayed state within reach of the
roots. They cover seeds which lie
upon the surface, thus giving the
radicle a leverage. and, last of all,
their burrows facilitate the penetra-
ton of the roots.
Says Darwin: 'The plow is one
of the most ancient and most valuable
of mans inventions; but, long before
he existed, the land was in fact regu-
larly plowed by earthworms. 1t may
be doubted whether there are many
other animals which have played so
important part in the history of the
world as have these lowly organized
creatures" Mature Studies

DRY-ROT IN BRIDGES.
Why wooden Structures should Not
BE Painted Until they Have
stood n Year.

The effect of paint on wet timber is to
"dry-rot." If the timber is dry and we'll
seasoned, the better practice is to apply
a coating of paint at once. 1t is, how
ever, a mistake to paint unseasoned
timber in bridge until it has stood a
year, and the work should be done at
the end of the summer when the wood
is thoroughly dry.
Because of the tendency of paint to
retain moisture, there has been some
dispute as to the advisability of paint
ing very large timbers in a bridge, the
tendency of the paint being to increase
the dry-rot. Nevertheless, the timber
reaches certain stage, after sufficient
seasoning, when to exclude the atmos-
phere by painting tends to its pre- serva-
ton.
1t is not considered good practice,
however, in wooden bridge construc-
ton, to use any timber more than six
inches in thickness. Where greater
strength is required, in caps, beams,
cords, braces, ETC., sufficient number
of pieces, of this or less thickness,
should be built together by keys, pack
ing pieces and bolts, thus allowing a
free circulation of air. Over members
thus composed should be placed a COW
ering of galvanized iron, extending a
half OF three-quarters of an inch down
on the timber, and secured by galvan-
lied tacks, preventing the rain from en-
tering the spaces or resting on or
around the packed joints.
The bridge thus built should be-given
one thorough coat of paint the summer
following its construction, and second
coat should be applied the third year.
The ends of all timbers, all seats, joints
and bearings, should be well and thor
oughly coated with white lead at the
time of construction. Municipal
