A Woman's Awful Peril.

"There is only one chance to save
your life and that is through an oper-
alton" were the startling words heard
by Mrs. 1. B. Hunt of Lime Ridge,
Wis, from her doctor after he had
vainly tried to cure her of a frightful
case of stomach trouble and yellow
jaundice. Gall stones had formed and
she constantly grew worse. Then she
began to use Electric Bitters which
wholly cured her. It's a wonderful

Grand Bazaar in Loves Hall.

held in Loves hall under the auspices
of the Aid Society of the M. E. church,
Jackson. The proceedings commenced
with an informal supper, of which a
large number of visitors partook. The
menu was prepared by Mrs. Horr, Mrs.
Blackwell and Mrs. Hoskins, and these
ladies received numerous congratula-
lions from those present regarding-the
excellence of their cuisine. They were
also ably assisted by the Misses Northy,
Miss Hoskins, Miss Bastian and Miss
Felmeth. During supper, and until
the close of the bazaar, Mrs. Chamber
lain, Mrs. Lily Freeman, Robbie Adams
and several others, played various
classical and other musical pianoforte
selections; Mrs. Cham berlain's efforts
being particularly appreciated. Mrs.
Matte Freeman, Mrs. Hattersley, Mrs
Geo. Gordon, and Miss May had charge
of the fancy goods booth, which was so
tastefully arranged as to call forth ex-
pressions of surprise and delight from
many present. Miss Pearl Freeman,
who had charge of the candy booth,
did a land Office business in the
sweet" line, selling out her entire
stock long before ten o'clock, at which
time the bazaar closed. Another in
teresting feature of the evening was a
characteristic sketch by Mrs. Bastian,
who in gypsy attire, amused the young
folks present by telling their fortunes,
etc., at ten cents head, which amount
went to swell the general fund of the
society. The Rev. Geo. II. Van Vliet,
Mrs. Horr, and Mrs. Matte Freeman
had full charge of the arrangements,
and the bazaar was generally acknow-
lodged to have been a decided success.
About 25O people attended during the
evening, and the financial result was
that the Aid Society's fund was
augmented by something over 800.

VIII Southland of Calvin station. near
Defender, while on his way to Jackson.
by way of West Point and Mokelumne
Hill, was held up by lone highway
man Tuesday night on the main street
OF the Hill. He was strolling quietly
along, after having supper at the hotel,
when suddenly he was grabbed from
behind by an unknown man. A terrific
struggle ensued, in which Southland
was worsted, the robber relieving him
OF his purse containing S2S, but over
looked SIS which Southard had in
another pocket. Immediately after
seizing his booty the robber fled and
escaped, leaving Southland in a half
dazed condition. The buttons of the
victims vest were all torn off in the
struggle. The thief wore no mask.

KILLED BY THE SUN.
Grapevines, According to the Best
Authorities, Sometimes Suffer
from Sunstroke.

Can n grapevine suffer sunstroke?
The answer seems to be yes. In
France they have trouble with the
grapevine that they call "folletage,"
which appears to be simply sun
stroke. The closest examination fails
to show a germ cause of the trouble.
A similar difficulty has been met with
in California, where man describes
characteristics of it as follows: "The
leaves gradually or sometimes rapidly,
dried up and fell off, leaving the shoots
exposed and allowing them to be killed
by the sun. The vines first showed
effects of the trouble in the early
part of the summer, and some of those
first attacked, although losing all their
leaves, partly recovered and sent out
new leaves. The leaves when first
attacked often became spotted in O
way somewhat resembling the Ana
helm disease, but with the important
difference that the line between the
healthy tissue and the dead was clear
ly marked with little or no diseased
tissue between" On investigation the
trouble is believed to arise from an
evaporation from some part of the
plant in excess of the moisture being
supplied to it; which is about the case
with sunstroke of men and animals

When it becomes cool and partly

Trees may be grated at almost
any age. The CRAFTS, see figure A,
are limbs of the last years growth
on the new wood obtained from any
good apple tree cut above the orig
inal graft. Suckers from the roots
won't do. They should have at least
two buds on each graft. The largest
end should be cut wedge-shape and
generally two CRAFTS can be secured
from each cutting.
Figure Il shows the end of a limb
split down at the top and how the
graft looks when in position. Figure
C gives an idea how the limb APP
pears on the tree to be grated and
also how the two gratis appear when
ready for the grating wax. Three
such CRAFTS on tree at proper an
giles from each other, If well set,
would make pretty good-looking
tree in two years growth, so that
all of the old tree above the
grated limbs may be removed.
Mr.. Wiswell explains that the Sc
cret of successful grating lies large
ly in having the inner bark of the
tree and graft come together so that
the sap will flow from the tree to
the graft and also that the wax is
put on in such manner as to keep
out air and water from the splice or
joint.
Two CRAFTS are usually placed in
each limb, and should both live the
poorer one may be pruned out while
the stronger one with three buds
will make a good stand. 1t is not
unusual to graft into limb two
inches across and sometimes the
main tree is cut off and two CRAFTS
set in, but there is less danger of
failure when CRAFTS are put into
limbs and the main tree or some of
its branches are left growing until
the results of the grating are ascer-
tanned.
In grating seedlings the tree is
cut off near the ground where the
graft is set, the loss of seedlings in
the nursery row being of little i'm
portance compared with tree set in
an orchard.
Note.-The drawing was made from
an alder cutting, and while being
somewhat different in appearance
from the apple tree, conveys the
same idea.-E. +. Barry, in Ohio

GRATING APPLE TREES.
In the Spring, When the Sap Begins

the Operation.

Grating apple trees is something
that can be well described by Mil

his method and the accompanying il
lustration is presented to more fully

CRUDE PETROLEUM.
Great Caution IL Necessary in It's Use
~ an Insecticide for Or
chard Trees.

The varying and sometimes disas-
trous results obtained from the use
of refined petroleum on growing
trees, as an insecticide, and especial
ly against the San Jose scale, have led
to the suspicion that the rude prod
uct might be less variable and dras-
tic in it's effects. But so far as it has
been used it would appear that we
have yet much to learn. before we
can, with safety, recommend the APP
plication of the crude product to the
different varieties of fruit trees. That
it is efficient in destroying the San
Jose scale if it is brought in contact
with this insect seems now quite
probable. But the hundreds of dead
trees that mark the areas where it
has been Unfortunately used point
very clearly to the fact that great
caution is necessary, and no one is,
as yet, able to say just where safety
comes and danger begins. Then, too,
when no permanent injury is appar-
ent, as in the case of the Seeding APP
Piles on the ground of the Ohio Agri-
cultural Experiment station, who can
say that this unnatural retardation
may not, after the first application,
prove to be a menace to the life or
general vigor of the tree? 1t is we'll
known that in nature these retarda-
tions sometimes occur, but nature sell
dom, if ever, covers the bark of tree
or shrub, and then only in part, with
vegetable growths like lichens, and
even these are known to be detri-
mental. smooth, clean bark being
always desirable. In the use of re-
fined petroleum, one of the most per-
picking phenomena observed was
the fact that equally careful appli-
cations made by the same person,
with the same grade of oil, would
give almost opposite results. Here
recommendation of the refined prod
uct for general use has in many
cases resulted disastrously and
brought no little disrepute to the en-
tomological fraternity of this coun-
try. The most that can now be said
for the refined product is that a ten
to twenty per cent. mixture with wa
ter constitutes a fairly successful
summer wash and destroys the young
scale, thereby checking the increase
and spread until applications of
whale oil soap mixtures can be made.

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 13th.-A sensa-
tional statement is made by Mr.. Ben
jamin Major, whose home is at the
corner of Jane and Hurlbut Ave., this
city.
Mr.. Major says that he has found a
remedy which will positively cure all
Kidney and Bladder troubles. He suf-
fered himself for long time with these
diseases in the most painful form, and
during his illness experimental with
a great many medicines without get
ting any relief. Finally he tried Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and to his great joy was
cured completely.
The statement he makes seems to
have ample confirmation in reports
being published every day of wonder
full cures by this remedy.
