Plymouth Church War Organ.

From the Binghampton Republican,
What Is known as the war organ in
Plymouth church, Brooklyn, which was
set up under the pastorate Of Henry
Ward Beechtr, forty years ago., is to
be removed to make room for a new
organ. An organ which is forty years
old Is a somewhat venerable Institution,
and the Plymouth organ Is not an ex-
ception. 1t made music many years for
Mr.. Beecher's services, and was listened
TO by Abraham Lincoln, Secretary
Stanton, Gov. Sprague OF Rhode Island,
Gov. Buckingham OF Massachusetts,
Charles Dickens, Horace Greeley. Hen
~ j. Raymond, Wendell Phillips, Will
liam Lloyd Garrison, Fred Douglas and
thousands of other men almost as we'll
known. who had been led 20 drop in
and listen to Mr.. Beecher's rmo
when they had occasion to spend Sun
day In the metropolis.
In consequence of the memories
which cluster around the forty years
OF services of the venerable organ, some
OF the embers would just as soon
part with the church as to part with
he organ.

Summer Strawberry PLANTING.

Most fruit growers are familiar with
the pot-grown strawberry plants offered
by nurserymen for setting in the ummer,
AS a rule such plants are too expensive
to set in any considerable number, but this
Is an ideal way to obtain plants of new
sorts for testing; though much more
costly than the layer plants one will get
from them a crop, next summer, of suf-
fcient size to determine the d%esirabtlity
of the variety. Then, too, 1t is possible

from the old beds the new plants ard set

new plant with The parent, then {. week
later, just after a rain, dig up the young
plant with a liberal amount of sci! ct

soil on the roots in the new bed. With
care not a plant Will be lost in the trans
planting, and these plants will give one a
crop of berries next summer equal to those
from year-old-set plants. The precaution
TO be taken is to have the lump Of soil

of the young plant will not be materially
disturbed by the transplanting. Where
but a few hundred plants are to be reset
one can easily supply the water to the
soil necessary to make the soil stick to the

strongly advises all suffering
women to rely, as she did, up.
on Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege.
table Compound.
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:- Your med
!cine is indeed an ideal woman's medi-
cine, and by far the best l know to
restore lost health and strength. 1
suffered misery for several years, being
troubled with menorrhagia. My back
eched, ! had bearing-down pains and
frequent headaches. 1 would often
wake from restful sleep, and in such
pain that l suffered for hours before I
could go to sleep again. I dreaded the
long nights as much as the weary days.
/ consulted two different physicians,
hoping to get relief but, finding that
their medicine did not seem to cure me.
/ tried your Vegetable Compound
on the recommendation of a friend
from the East who was visiting me.
~ am glad that l followed her ad-
vice, for every ache and pain is gone,
and not only this, but my general
health is much improved. I have a
fine appetite and have gained in flesh.

to take Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vege-

Treating Heaves Properly.

Directions for treating heaves have been
given In this department before, but a
number of recent inquiries calls for the
at this time. In all cases of
heaves it is desirable TO change the ration
for a time, and all water given the horse
should be given before he eats. All food
should be wet with lime water, and If con-
siderable hay is used this should be well
moistened before being fed. Use care in
Keeping the stall and manager fr.e from
anything which will create dust and have
the stable well ventilated at all times.
AS a medicine give the horse one-half
ounce doses of FoWler's solution Of ar
senlc night and morning. An ordinary
case of heaves will submit to this treat
ment, but In bad cases add to the treat
ment advised ounce doses of glycerine,
given three times daily in the mouth, US
ing g syringe. If the combined treatment
does not complete the cure the case is
hopeless.

and we're properly classified for the years
work.
The teachers meeting on Monday was
held at the Main bu lding, and besides n

bers Of the school board were present
and made some timely suggestions.
As predicted last week, the attend
ance in the high school breaks all rec
ords. More pupils entered on the first
day than for any previous year. A
large number came from outside the
distrist.
Four new teachers enter upon their
duties in our schools this yeur. Each
one comes with the highest credentials
and begins her work under most auspi-
cious conditions.
During the last vacation the school
grounds have been better kept, ard the
rooms and furniture have been render
ed more presenta BILE and inviting than
ever before IN Lamar.
Surely this is step in the right di-
rection. The board is evidently acting
under the hypothesis that nothing is
too good for our schools, and jtnitor
O'Donnell seems to enter heartily into
every effort to improve the conditions.
