TO ALL, PARTICULARLY INvAL-


IDS,


spring is trying season. Indications Of sickness
should at once be attended to. Fatal diseases may
be caused by allowing the bowels to become con-
stipated aud the system to remain in disordered
condition, until the disorder has time to develope
Itself An ounce OF prevention is worth pound:of
cure is old truthful saying. therefore, we ad-
wise ell who are troubled with the complaints now
very preyalent-headache, indigestion, disordered
liver, want of appetite, nausea or feverIsh skin
to take, without delay, Shenck's Mandrake Pills.
We know OF no remedy SO harmless and decisive
in its action 1t at once strikes at the root Of the
disease and produces healthy tone to he system
People never need suffer from any disease arising
from dsordered condition of the liver If they would
take this excellent medicine when they feel the
first indications Of the malady. Families leaving
home for;the summer months should take three OF
four boxes oiithe pills with them. They have an
almost instantaneous effect. They will relieve the
patient Of headache in one or two hours, and will
rapidly cleanse the liver OF surrounding bile, and
VIII effectually prevent bilious attack They are
sold by all druggists.

THE Puyallup Valley has been ovcrrun


with class of tramps. who because they
could not secure employment to suit them,


have manifested a desire to destroy all the
property they could. They do not want
work as common aborers but demand ap-
pointments as bosses in the hop yards, and
other positions of trust and high wages.
Several attempts have been made to burn
hop kilns and out-houSes. Last week two
barns belonging to Mr.. Kelly were fired
in the same way and burned to the ground
with l,500 bushels of grain. A mali
one OF this gang of tramps-who is sup
posed to have been the incendiaiy was
tracked from the vicinity of the fire to a
small cabin near by and arrested. When
he saw the party in pursuit of him he took
off his shoes and threw them into the
bushes, thus hoping to escape dentifica-
ton. Every hop grower has found it nee
essary to employ watchmen to guard his
premises during the night. 1t is a pity
that some OF the scoundrels cannot be
caught in the act and shot down like wild
beasts. -"Courier."

There was an advance yesterday on the Produce
Exchange of two cents per bushel in No. red win
ter wheat for November delivery. This was caused
by the many warlike rumors received recently from
abroad The excitement in relation to the reported
corner in wheat by Wall street spectators has COM
pletely died out. prominent dealer gave II as his
opinion that those parties who had bought large
amount of wheat with the expectation that they
would realize considerable profit had found
ont that it a losing game and were
unloading rapidly possible. It was
simply a 'bull'' movement, which has caused
TO hold back their wheat for higher prices
and thereby injured the railroads and canals, and
thrown out of employment many workingmen. This
gentleman said there enough wheat on hand to
supply any legitimate demand. and the market here
could not be affected by any corner which might
possibly be established in Chicago Even IL there
happened TO BE- abroad 1t would have to last for
some time before there would be extraordinary de-
mand wheat from this market, the prices here
present higher than the quotations at Liver
pool and London. II is expected that in few days
prices will decline. and in that event Wall street
Spectators will lose considerable money.

A boot invented by Captain Barthe of
the French army has been recommended
by many officers whose men have made a
trial of it as substitute for the shoe and
gaiter at present worn by the French in
fantry. This latter form of covering for
the foot has long been very generally con-
demned. The boot which is now recon-
mended is formed of two pieces of leather,
reaches some way above the ankle, and
opens on the outside of the leg, from the
top to below the ankle bone. This open
ing again is covered by a piece of soft
leather, aud is closed by means of three
short leather strings fastened to the boot
on one eide and three buttons. The ad-
vantages said to be possessed by this boot
are that the pressure upon the instep and
the tightness of the upper part rouod the
leg can be regulated at pleasure; that it
can be 80 easily fastened aud unfastened
that during any halt a man can throw 1t
open that it effectually keeps out wet
and dust; that the bottoms of the trowsers
can be either worn inside or outside the
boot, and, finally, that, being of simple
manufacture, it is q cheap boot.

The use of salt for dairy COWS varies with the season and the flow of milk. The larger the flow aud the more imma- ture the feed the greater the amount of salt required. In June, for example, when the flow is abundant and the grass tender. mora anlk ia Ea4uiHetl than In Mo- vember, when there is less milk and the grass is better supplied with mineral matter. In the former case the COWS want salt where they can have access to 1t every day or oftener in the latter twice week will answer all demands. The best way I have tried for salting COWS is to keep little salt in the man. ger, where they can have access to it every time they come into the stable to be milked. They will lick little every time they come in when the grass is very tender. Salting twice week is then not enough, as tests made upon the quantity and quality of milk have proved. Later in the season they will take it less fre- quently. If salt can be had ad ibitum COWS will never eat any more than is re- quired for their good, but if fed only at long intervals they often eat to their in- jury. For salt1ng young cattle the best arrangement know of is to place rock salt in a suitable box or half barrel, where they can have easy access to it, and under cover so as to protect it from wasting by rain. This avoids both excesses and defciences, and requirea the least labor and attention.

With view to matrimony." These words are the ending of good many ad- vertisements- principally under the head of " Personals"-in the New York papers, and there are quite enough evil results therefrCm to justifya legal enact ment for their suppression. To adver- tise for husband or wife may seem to be quite as legitimate as to advertise for man servant or woman servant, and there would be less trouble if all tue world were honest and wise, but there is the hitch. Some young people indulge in this advertising, and the correspond ence which likely follows 1t, for amuse- ment, and some are simple enough to find romantic element in it, and are led to their own ruin. Instances have been known where girls have married men who already had wives and families. But few days ago the story was told of the marriage of young lady of good family with plausible but hashy man, with whom she had had correspan- dence, brought about in this way. He turned out to be gambler, and in few weeks she was forced to return to her fathers house. Another story is told of widow who was thus woed by ''hotel proprietor" She went some hundreds of miles only to find that, her Adonis was waiter. Advertising is glorious in- stitution, but it is quite as liable to abuse as any other.

Tine Providence Journal says: GA curious and painful case occurred in New Bedford, Mass, which may raise the question whether manslaughter may not be caused by threat and demonstra- tion of violence, and the consequent effect of fear on feeble constitution, as well as by actual bodily harm. As to the moral guilt of the criminal there can be no doubt. One Frederick Jenny, g middle-aged man, addicted to liquor, had been maltreating and abusing his wife until she had been compelled to ask the interference of the Police. She was in feeble health, and her mother, 8 woman of nervous temperament and 70 years of age, was in attendance upon her. One evening Jenny came into the house and addressed the old lady in such abusive and threatening language that she left the house and fled to neigh bor's for protection. She returned at g later hour in the hope of attending upon her daughter unmolested, but the man attacked her again so wlckedly with threats that, although neighbor was with her as 8 protector, she was seized with a tremor of terror, and in short time fell to the floor dead, her thread of life having been undoubtedly snapped by fear and excitement. The violent brute was arrested, and although such an extraordinary case is probably not included within the provisions of the law of manslaughter, he'is undoubtedly as guilty as if he had struck the feeble woman with his fist and she had died from its effects"

The late Chief Justice Chase's mother once bore her part in a little comedy which was almost Shakespearean. With her husband, she was visiting two of his brothers, who were also married. The three gentlemen sitting and talking to- gether, made some playful wagers on the subject of their wives tempers, and agreed to test them. So, walking into the room where the three ladies were seated at the tireside making caps, which at that tune were fashionable, the trial began. The first brother, after some sighting remarks concerning caps in general, and his wife's handiwork in par ticular, commanded her to "throw it in the fire" Naturally, the indignant lady paid small attention to the order. The next brothers attempt met with the same result; but no sooner did the Chief Justices father command his wife to toss the cap in the fire than the cap went into the flames, and in the most prompt, sweet and serene manner. Ii may, perhaps, be unnecessary to add that, of the three husbands, he was the most thoroughly we'll managed.

MT. Jotham Weston has a farm in Skowhegan, Me-, which thirty-five years ago was "stiff, hard clay not producing weeds and foul grass enough to pay for moving" Now the soil is "commonly called clay loam,' and yields good crops. How he effected this profitable he thus tells in the Maine Farmer {:

 After ploughing the hardest and poor est acre in my field. which I did soon after having, I told boy and French horse that when they had nothing else to do it would be their business to haul sand on to this land. do not now recol- lect, but think we hauled one hundred and fifty or two hundred one horse loads. The next spring with heavy cultivator I thoroughly mixed this sand with the clay, and without 8 shovelful of any kind of dressing, sowed it to oats and grass seed. The result was beyond my most sanguine expectation, yielding an aver age of two tons year with the exception of the first and last, for the next eight years, after which l ploughed again and applied the same remedy to the other side of the furrow. Now after the liberal application of sand for so many years, my hard clay has dissolved and I have in the place of it good mellow loam. And instead of cutting eight or ten tons of hay, as formerly. now cut in good seasons, forty tons. For the last twenty years have sold as much hay on an average each year as the farm cut when I commenced, and yet I have never pur. chased $50 worth of manure.

The best way to SAVE LIQUID MANURE is to do it in the stable by absorbents. Any fine dry material will do, such as muck, chaff or road dust. It will, be- sides, make soft bed for the animals to stand and lie on. Use 1t freely and mix liquid and solid contents with it. Keep under cover as made, or temove at once to the land and spread from the wagon or sleigh what is made in the fall and winter. In this way all the benefit IS obtained--the manure in condition to spread finely and evenly, and hug close ly the ground. It will serve as stim- lant and protection to the plant during the winter. Such manure, or rather compost, can be applied almost any time and to any crop, belng in measure soil itself, mellow and clean, and not the common nuisance, SD objectionable to handle. And it will keep and become more mellow with time, the absorbent fastening the gases so there is no loss.

The theory that lack of vigor is the underly- ing cause of disease is receiving daily confirm ation of the most positive kind in the cure of dyspepsia, liver disorders, and kidney, bladder and uterine complaints by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the ruling remedy for maladies attrib- utable to weakness. This superb tonic is never employed without the most beneficial effects. The liver the bowels, the organs of urination, and indeed the entire system acquires both vigor and regularity through its action, since it gives a healthful impetus to every failing function. It is an incomparable specific for chills and fever, and other maladies of mala- rial type, prevents their attacks, is a reliable means of counteracting the effects of undue exposure to fatigue, and soothes as well as strengthens the nervous organism.
