Burning Head.

Star City, Ark, May 26th.-A very
remarkable case has just occurred
here.
Mr.. w. H. McFalls has been suffer
ing severely for two years with an all
ment that puzzled the doctors and
everybody. The trouble seemed to be
all in his head, which had a burning
sensation all the time.
Sometimes this burning pain in the
head would be worse than at other
times, but it never left him.
At last he tried new remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills and was agreeably
surprised to find that the burning
gradually disappeared.
An attack of La Grippe has laid him
up for the last few weeks, but Dodd's
Kidney Pills have banished his old
trouble entirely.
His son George used few of the
Pills which his father did not need and
they have done him so much good
that he says he would not take ten
cents pill for the few he still has left

there is only one wire to handle mess

be the presence of fre-damp, ignited
by match with which miner was
lighting pipe in defiance of orders.
A tremendous explosion occurred in

by another explosion in No. 3, con-

was the sweetest of all, this name was

Peach Curl

Leonard Coates states in the Fruit World that Professor l.. R. Taft, of Michigan, recommends solution of copper sulphate as being equally effective as Bordeaux mixture and much cheaper as a remedy for peach curl. He says that one pound of the sulphate dissolved in fifty gallons of water is strong enough and the results have been entirely satisfactory if the spraying is done thoroughly and three weeks before the buds open. It may be well for peach growers who are troubled with curl leaf to make a note of this. The term Spraying" is sometimes misleading as applied sap-sucking insects and fungus dis eases, and, on the other hand, to leaf or fruit-eating insects. In the former cases the trees need to be drenched rather than sprayed, while in the lat ter the spraying should be so gentle that the liquid does not run off and drip, but merely rmains in minute drops upon the surface. In one case we seek to kill the insect or fungus germ by direct contact in the other we edeavor to poison the food of the insect, as in the case of the canker worm, codling moth worm, sawhy worm, etc.
