SMALL FRUITS IN GARDESS.-But few
people seem to know the value of small fruits
to a family, when grown in their own gar
dens You commence with strawberries
they continue about month. You pick,
perhaps, from six to twelve quarts day.
You have them on your table as a dessert, If
you please at noon, and your tea table is
loaded with them at evening, and you want
little else but your bread and butter. Your
family consume, In one way or another, about
eight quarts day, and while they last no
medicines for bodily ailments are required,
as 4 quart of Strawberries daily viii gener-
ally dispel all ordinary diseases not settled
permanently in the system After strawber-
mes, raspbernes come to continue about three
weeks; then We have blackberries where
the climate is not too cold for cultivated va
rieties; then tine currants ripen, which re-
main until early grapes mature; and taking
the season through any family with a hall
acre of land In garden can grow small fruits
that make country Life delightful, and at the
same tune hundreds of dollars can be saved
in the supply of the table.-Cha. Farmer.

DOES MILK CURDLE N TIE SToMACH,-
The moment milk enters the human stomach
the digestive fluids change 1t into curd. The
cheesy part is separated from the whey, or
watery part. We hear mothers say when
their infant vomits up curd, that their milk
does not agree with it, that its stomach Is
sour and curlles the milk, and the curd Is
very hard The truth is that the milk III the
stomach always cur,lles before it digests. II
it did not curdle it would prove that the
stomach was weak. Those infants who are
fed at regular intervals are less apt to oyer
feed than those who are fed at irregular pc
RODS. We have found that infants nursed
at intervals OF two hours are much more apt
to suffer from indigestion. Some mothers
may ask, why is human milk more diges'a-
BILE than cows, The principal reasons are
two: first, the amount OF curd Is greater IN
cows milk: and second. the curd Is harder,
that Is, the easeine from human milk Is more
porous. and is on this account more easily
dissolved and disested -Heraid Of Heatth.

A SANcTIFED WOMAN. In a camp
meeting In New York a woman related
her experience in giving up certain artl-
cles of ornament and gay attire that she
had loved. She said that at first she re-
solved to wear no more artificial flowers,
cav colored ribbons, handsome silks, ear
ornaments, nor brooches but one idol
remained. 1t was her wedding ring. At
last she resolved to throw this away, too,
and VIXEN she did it the blessing of sane
tification came. The Methodist says As
she stood in the audience, relating the
great change that had come over her, she
displayed an immense mass of false hair
wound up on the back of her head, upon
which was mounted top-not of a hat,
neither protection from sun or cold, nor
ornamental to behold She disclosed be-
meath a half cast-Off shawl a corseted waist
which was reduced to such diminutive
proportions as to appear painfully abnor-
NAL. She supported paddings, pufflngs,
nannier, and pin-back and dressing skirt
SADLY beddrabbed to a depth of seven in
ches which it dragged upon the ground
As she sat down after her testimony an
exhortation to erring sisters to renounce
all pomp and glory of the world, she piled
her fan and painted very like ball room
belle who had waltzed too long and was
dressed too tightly to breathe with ease
When at the close of the meeting the wo-
man walked away, she had parsol, fan
and hymn book To hold in one hand,
and the other was employed in gathering
and holding the front breadth of her
skirts high enough to enable her to step,
while the limit of her nincing gait was
determined by her contracted pin-baek
and stilted boot heels. And away she
went, sanctfed woman

TREATMENT OF BRUISES.-From time un-
known bruises have been treated by cold
water Mothers in our early life used to
apply it to any bruise or confusion, especial
ly to bruises upon the forehead. Notyith
standing this illu-triGus example, We prefer
the application of very warm warer- Let us
see how the two operate: Cold applied TO
the surface has a tendency to check the flow
of blood Heat, under the same circumstan-
ces, augments it. Thus applying cold water
to bruise or confusion stops, mere or less,
the blood III It's course through the injured
part. The spot is ''blaek and blue" Ap-
PLYING hot water compels the moving fluid
to hasten its course and he far away from
the scenes of turmoil SO the blood hastens
on its way and leaves very few marks of Its
presence Ordinarily, bruises and Commissions
rupture some capillary blood tubes, and al
low the blood 10 oOze ont. The thing to be
done is to compel the blood to flow on its
wonted way. The application Of very warm
water is the best treatment for confusion and

Seattle, that the clerk was not war.

They mean the nation to believe that without them the Administra- ton cannot carry that state. That is an issue MT. Hayes may as well accept first as last. Reform plus the Camerons is a sham that will cheat nobody. What we want to know is whether Republicanism minus the Camerons can carry the Key stone state. Says the Tribune cores. pondent:

 What is the President to do? Surrend- CT to the Camerons If he takes this course he is lost. for he forfeits at once the respect and support of the reform ele ment Tn his party all over, the country.

It looks now as if the policy adopted at Washington is one of delay and com promise. hope this is not the case. The only wise course is for the President to hew clean up to the line of reform he has marked out, no matter what may become of the chips. If he does not he will make ragged piece of work.

The great want of our Territory, is
population and that of a working char.
acter. Our country abounds with much
raw material that could be worked up
into marketable products. In our anx-
iety to attract settlers we have been too
eager to call attention to our timber for
ests and grain lands, overlooking the
wealth of our vast inland sea, as regards
its fisheries. We want some men from
the Eastern coast to write back to their
friends in Massachusetts, Connecticut
and New Jersey. and tell those ''toilers
by the sea" what fortune awaits the
hardy fishermen here, with tbs same
labor and less than half the danger they
must necess ,rily encounter there
Bring out fifty Of the sturdy Marbles
head or Barnegat boys to this place and
set them to halibut fishing, and in ten
years we would have half dozen good
thriving towns along the Straits of
Fuca


This element of population is espe-
cinlly requisite to the development Of
every maritime State. The superior
seamunship of the Federal navy. in the
ate war. was mainly due to the culture
of our sailors in the coastwise fisheries
When the Alabama struck her colors to
the Kearsarge, it was not merely tri-
umph for the national government. 1t
was tribute to the splendid seaLlan-
ship begotten by life of toll begun at
the cradle and ending only at the grave.
Such Is the education of the American
fisherman. His ambition leads him up
wards from the little smack to the big
India packet with her three s<ysails set.
If We would maintain our prestige as a
commercial people. We must encourage
ambitious seamanship.


The names of Rowland, Grinnell,
Macomber and others illustrious In the
history of American commerce, take
their origin in the fisheries of New En-
gland. With the wealth amussed in
this way, they have dotted the ocean
with lines of packets plying to all the
great en- poriums of the world. We
have just as good facilities here, if the
right class Of people are brought out to
utilize them and bring about the COM
mercial advancement which seems,
though distant, a part of our manifest
destiny.

until 1885, and that any movement on the
part Of Charleston in derosation OF this
popular understanding would not only
be a breach Of good faith, but would en-.
danger the whole act. 1t therefore eau.

immediate removal to beware, lest in
