One of the strong points m favor ,
cf the much praised en-ilage, is that j
animals eat it with a relifh. Xo food, ^
however rich it may be in food elements, (
will prove profitable if the farm stock ^
cannot oe mace to taiie to it Kintuy.
It is on this account that a mixing of
feed has been so successful. Sameness
palls tipon the appetite?a chan"^ of
diet encourages and sharpens u. A
few roots cut, or better, pulped, and
given to the animals, will make them
eat the corn-fodder or cut straw with all
the greater relish. Try and make a
little change in diet of the animals,
even though it be only once a week,
with some roots, potatoes, apples, etc., ;
it will pay. The more an animal eats,
and healthfaiiy digests, the more profit-;
able it is.

carbolic acid are all fatal to insects,
~ cayenne pepper is botli distasteful and
injurious to them, and the powder of
pyrethrum, hnown as Persian insect
powder, is smeU, fatal, producing
asphyxia or suffocation. Neither of
these is injurious to persons, although i
one may perhaps object to taking any j
carbolic acid as a flavoring to his cab- i
bage or sour krout. But this is easily j
washed off with water when the cabbage j
is prepared for food, and, at any rate, i

preparation of carbolic acid is carbolate ,
of lime. This is made by sprinkliag i
fresh quicklime with a solution of one j
part of carbolic acid in fifty parts of
water until the lime falls to a fine powder.
This is sprinkled upon the cab- j
bages or other plants, when they are i

used in the same way. j
Health of Cows. j
E. W. Stuart, of New York, has this 1 \
to sav, that the health of the cows may !
be promoted dv studying the effect of
different foods. A fruitful cause of disease
in cattle is tli9 steady feeding of ,
dry, woody, fibrous food. Tliis produces
impaction of the manifolds and
a general derangement of the system.
Oil meal seems to have a similar eflect (
upon the system to turnips or other
" - roots. It produces a general relaxation !
-of the bowels and counteracts the effect: i
of dry, fibrous food. In many dairy i
districts flaxseed is purchased at a ' j
.i- :? CI 51 r,fl .

per bushel, and it will pay the dairy- j ]
man or feeder of cattle or horses, to
buy a few bushels of flaxseed and grind it j ,
with his other grain. One bushel of flax-: '
seed mixed with twenty bushels of corn j (
and oats, and ail ground fine together, !
will, by reason of its oil, render slightly ! '
laxative and assist materially in giving i 1
a proper action to the digestive organs. :
This will answer instead of oil meal. : <
It will show its effect by giving a soft, 1 1
mellow skin and a glossy coat. By 3

A revolution has taken place in cur-1
ing hay. I well remember how careful j j
we used to be to get every lock thor- j ,
oughly dried. It must be dried to a j ,
crisp, so the stalks would break short I j
and the leaves fall off. So we lost a j
large portion of the hay, and what we
saved was better fitted for fuel than for
feeding stock. Such absurd ideas have (
nearly become obsolete among farmers; 1
they have seen the folly of such a prac- 1
tice, and now it is not often that we find j J
a farmer who requires more than one !
x _ a i i mi i 1
aay s sun 10 ury nis nay. a-uere is nt- ,
tie danger of getting hay into the barn '
too green, if no rain falls on it after it is
cut. If such should be the case it must '
be dried and turned, and dried and J
turned until every particle of the water |;
has evaporated. Sap in grass is quite a *
different thing from water ; no matter j
how much it contains it will never in-1 3
jure the quality of the hay, if the grass | 1
is properly matured before being cut. j 5
English grass needs much less drying ' 1
~~ -? than swale or meadow grass. The su-!
gar contained in grass may be destroyed (
by too much drying, causing fermenta- c
tion before it has reacnea tiio saccnance ; t
state, and consequently lessens the fat-: s
tening quality of the hay. I have prac-! 1
ticed putting in my hay very green, al- <
. waysiafsir weather getting it in and I i
mowing it away the same day-it is-cnfcjj
I have never had any poor or smoky c
hay. My cattle always eafc it clean, 5
" leaving no sorts, but I have observed
wher^ hay has had too much drying ?
that the cattle do not like it, always ?
leaving a portion uncon3umed, and cat- a
tie kept on such hay invariably come ?
out poor in the spring. Never cut your ?
grass until it is fully headed out. Some ?
people begin haying too early, becanse t

management. We believe that the difference
found in horses as to vicious
habits and reliability comes much
more from the different management of j
men than from the variance of natural
disposition in animals. Horses -with
high mettle are more easily educated
than those of less or dull spirits, and
are more susceptible to ill training, and .
consequently may be made good or bad i
according to the education they receive, j
Horses with dull spirits are not by any j
^^aaeinrproof against bad management, j
for in them may be found the most provoking
cLrf'inacy, vicious habits of dif- J
ferent characters that render them
almost entirely -worthless. Could the
coming generations of horses in this r
country be kept from their days of colt- j c
hood to the age of ?ve vears in the;
hands of good, carcful managers, there r
would be seen a, vast difference in the i ^
general character of these noble ani-j v
xnals. If a colt is never allowed to get ^
an advantage it will never know that it j
possesses a power that man cannot con- *'
trcl, and if made familiar with strange "
objects it will not be skittish and ner-, 0
vous. If a horse is made accustomed , c
from his early days to have objects hit r
him on the heel*, back or hip, he will
piy no attention to the giving way of a
harness or a wagon running against him
at an unexpected moment. We once t:
saw an aged lady driving a high-spirited a
fccrse attached to a carriage down a s
steep hill with no hold back straps upon r
the harness, and she assured us that. d
there was no danger, for her son aceus-1 t
torn^d his horse to all kinds of usage o
and sights that commonly drive the ani- t
jra. into a frenzy of fear anu excite- p
jneaS. A gun cau be fired from the back c
of a horse, nn umbrella held over the d
? head, a bnlfdJo robe thrown upon his o
n<ck, a railroad engine pass clo^e by, p
his heels bumped with sticks, and the s
animal take it all as a natural condition
of things, if only taught by careful a
management that ic will not be injured ti
thereby. There is great need of im- t!
provement in this noble asimal. Less n
beating wanted and more education.? 1

Charcoal for Hoet. ^
Whatever hog medic*in9 conta.ns a p
good proportion of charcoal is presump- Sl
tively a good medicine. It may be pos- E
sible for quackery to so combine char- j
coal with other ingredients that the
efficacy of this remedial agent will be , a
f| destroyed, but ic would, we believe,; 3
ake a regular double-barreled quackey
to destroy ifc tinder any circumstanes.
It is a most useful medicine by
tself, and worth more than any other
?ne ingredient that we ever saw put p
nto a medicine. It benefits the hog
ystem by absorbing the injurious gases q
,"+c o>>cr.rf>fivp now&rs are
V ILillLi 11J &.U14. XCO uvwv* w
o great that it will absorbejjpi^iiai^s ,
nore gas than its ownja^Tsurement. It ;
s to this quaiitv^rifit owes its efficacy
vhen given to bloated animals, and f
lothing equal to it was ever given or has
>ver been discovered in such cases. Few t
)f our readers but are doubtless aware
jOw magnificently it acts in hitman com- j
)laints, and to such it is recommended ;
n diseases of domestic animals, and especially
</i swiue, with jatt as much ,
;onfidence of its being a success as
vhen given to human beings. One
beauty about it, two, is that it can do no ?
aarm, something that cannot be said of
nany of the nostrums which arerecom- ?
lieiided by avaricious compounders of 1
nedicines for animals, if it is given in 1
;oo large doses it simply acts as a
lathartie, and that is the end of it. s
With such a splendid remedy at hand, ?
t is astonishing why it is usedcompara- I
lively so little, and why breeders of domestic
animals should be so willing to ?
lose them with mercury and other harsh }
md certainly inj arious medicines. I>Ier- ?
:nry is net fit for anything that lives
:o take. It is almost certainly produc- (
:ive cf more or less harm. Not only ^
vill charcoal be found to be an excel-. j
ent remedy in case of actual disease,but
t will prove an excellent preventive, as
ruist readily be seen in view of itsabsorp- j
:ive and consequently blood-purifying
qualities. Noxious gases in the system |
nnst taint the blood and produce dis- -
iase in some degree, and if they are removed
a fertile cause of disease is re- 3
noved. If our swine are properly fed, 1
hat is, fed upon a variety of food, '
phosphatic and carbonaceous, p:operly '
;ared for and given charcoal, we shallj
lear less of hog cholera and other hog !
liseases. It must be charcoal that Is <
ised, however. We frequently have in- ]
juiries as to the value of the hard coals i
n such cases. They have no such properties
as the charcoal has, and, as far <
is we know, are perfectlv useless as a j
remedial agent. There are some hog i
nedicines vrhich contain charcoal, and 5
ve think a great deal of them. Indeed, ;
ye are Uiing one constantly opon our
)wn hogs, and we believe, in fact we ,
snow, with profit. There are other in
jredients in the medicine which are no ,
ionbi valuable, so much so that we \
should be unwilling to dispense with ]
:hem, but the most important ingredient (
is charcoal.? Western Rural. ,

The Midnight Sun in August.
The eorresnondent of the New York
Herald who is with the Arctic exploring
steamer Alliance, says : On oni
way through the ice, which was made
frith slowness and caution, we had our
Srst clear view of the midnight sun,
whose altitude observed by the sextant
was 4 deg. 33min. 40sec. In the clear
water astern several white whales sported
about. The statements that whale
fishing is no longer successful seems
strange in view of the fact that since we
have been in the Arctic seas we have
never been a day without seeing them.
We have encountered whales of all
kinds and in abundance. Subsequent
to this we had, if possible, a better
riew of the midnight sun, without the
iistracting accompaniments of whales.
We had forced our way north, after
slow sailing in the ice pack, to within
sight of Spitzbergen, and when again
riewing the midnight sun we were quite
near Horn Sound, the most southern
Sord on tho south-western coast of
Spitzbergen. The first success of our
?xpiditLn had been scored. It was a
;lear, bright night this (don't mind the
seeming confusion of terms,) with not
i fleck of cloud as big as a mustard seed
in the amber sky.
The sun looked like a great disk of
molten gold, which seemed through the
smoked snow glasses to throb and pulsate,
sending rays of light from its center
to its rim. These soft roiling rip
pies of liglit seemed to depart from the
periphery -with, irregularity, although
?ey started from the center as if a pebble
had b.-ea dropped there. Sometimes
they would depart from the rim
sith the same regularity as they ?>'
;ed, and then a?ain they seemec^-vu
inrry off on one side and delay cn the
)ther, giving the sun for an- infant an
)blong appearance. Tbis midnight
ran was not alone sensible to the eye;
)ne could feel its rays, which burned
:he skin with the copper warmth of Indian
summer days.
The Seat of Emotion.
I must give here as my opinion,
?ounded on what I observed, that lips
become more or less contracted in the
;ourse of years, in proportion as they
ire accustomed to express good humor
md generosity, or peevishness and a
:ontracted mind. Remark the effect
vhich a moment of ili-humor and
^mdgingness has upon the lips, and
ndM what may be exneeted from ail
? o * - A.
labitual series of such moments.
Remark and reverse, and make a timlar
judgment. The mouth is the
rank part of the face; it can the
east conceal its sensations.
"We can hide neither ill-temper with
t, nor good: we may affect what we
jlease, but affectation will not help us.
!n a wrong cause it will only make
>ur observers repent the endeavor to
mpose upon them. The mouth is
he seat of one class of emotions, as
Iia ATf s nrfi of another : or rather, it
'xpresses the same < motions, but in
greater detail and with more irrepresible
tendency to be in motion. It is
be region of smiles and dimples and
>f trembling tenderness, of a sharp
orrow, of a full breathing joy, of canlor,
of reserve, of a carkinej care, of

The Tears of Animals.
The monkev tribe is grotesquely like
man even in the display of his joy and |
! sorrow. Many of them actually smile i
\ when amused. The broad grin which
is usually associated with a sense of fun j
is developed in the orang-outang, and
was also_observed by Livingstone in the
| soko. The laughter of certain apes is
i said to be analagous to man's own, iri
that it is noisy and hilarious. So close,
indeed, is the resemblance that the :
grave Turks compare laughing Western j
Europeans to apes. The chimpanzee, j
. if tickled, chuckles. Livingstone de- \
scribes the soko as giggling, and Dar- j
' win notes that tittering occurs among :
monkeys when they are pleased. A
1 sense of fun or humor is also unmistakably
exhibited by practical jokes and
sports or games. Their grief is demonj
strated just as unmistakably as theii
pleasure. True tears are shed under the
| emotion of grief, especially that arising
from bereavement, by the soko, chimpanzee,
orang-outang, and other apes or j
monkeys; and also by the elephant, dog, :
horse, mule, donkey, and various deer, j
A youngsoko, .Livingstone tells us,n not;
. taken up in tlie arms like a child, when j
. appealed to be so carried, engaged in i
; the most bitter, haman-like weeping, j
Bontius describes the weeping of an ;
j orang-outang as resembling that of a |
j woman, and Dr. Yvan mentions one that j
I wept when a mango was taken from i
him, just as a child would have done. |
Chimpanzees in Sierra Leone, that have
been trained to carry water-jugs for
i man, weep bitterly when they let them
fall, and see them in pieces at their feet.
Dr. Boerlage shot a female mother ape
in Java, that fell mortally wounded from
: a tree, tightly clasping a young one in
i her arms, and she died weeping. All
these instances clearly prove that the
monkey tribe are capable of experiencing
both joy and sorrow.
Hereditary Criminals.
"Heredity" comes out strong in
case of criminals?stronger, perhaps,
than in case of saints. For the offspring
: of saints are often far from saint-like,
while the children of burglais and

The Age of Advertising.
As an illustration of tlie extent and
variety of the advertisements which
crowd the columns of the well-patron|
ized journals of the day, it has been '
. said, with but little exaggeration, that
| if the whole of our modern civilization
, should pass away as completely as that
j of some of the ancient monarchies it
would be possible for the historian of
, that distant future to reproduce in his
; pages all the most prominent features
; of its art and its literature, its politics
: and religion, its commerce and its trade,
from the advertising columns of some
; of the great newspapers of our times,
j The very fact that the present is emphatically
an advertising age shows how
keenly the importance of the subject is
. appreciated and how strong is the gen!
eral faith in this method of bringing
I the buyers and the sellers, the employer
and the employed, and all the departments
of the business world, face to
face with each other. So thoroughly is
the present generation impressed with
the value of advertising that it is no
longer a question of how little a busi,;
ness man can do with, but how much he
i cannot do without; so that it is no j
longer to limit and abbreviate ins business
announcements, but rather to study
; to extend, amplify and vary them as
! much as possible. In these days it has
become a recognized fact that the busii
ness man "who does not advertise is lost,
I and thus, in the eager race of competition,
the people of energy and the peoj
pie who succeed seize upon every
method of advertising themselves to !
| the world which ingenuity can devise ;
i or enterprise suggest.
sjjse't***- Tefriifis His Eyes.
?^-<^^ere has been a great deal of nonI
sense written about tha power of the
; human eye over wild beasts. An incident
occurred, during the visit of tbe
I Duke of Edinburgh to the Mavlay peninsula,
which shows the fallacy of this
popular notion.
Among other sights, the duke was
shown a magnificent black leopard, con- [
! fined in a cage. The beast, one of the J
fiercest and most beautiful creatures of '
. the Malay jungles, was crouching.
A doctor, attached to the duke's suit, I
whu had been talking about tho power j
! of the human eye to subdue wild anii
mals, thought he "would give a practical
' illustration of the theory.
Going up to the cage, he gazed steadfastly
into the dilating eyes of the savage
leopard, hoping to intimidate it.
| For a few moments the leopard' bore
: the stare. Then, without the slightest |
warning, he sprang at the doctor. A ,
I growl, a dash, a shriek, and the man j
; staggered oacjc lnio i-ne arms 01 ms |
j friends.
With his cap torn off and his cheek |
| laid open, he departed a sadder and a '
i wiser man. Nothing but his cap's peak |
saved his magnetic eye from the claws j
of the infuriated beast.? Youth's Cum-1

Where Everybody Gambles.
A Tucson (Arizona) letter says :
: "The great attraction of the evening is !
| the gambling pavilion, which occupies !
: almost one entire side of the plaza. \
All aronnd the building is a promenade i
and along this walk are the gambling j
; tables. Faro, roulette, monte, chusets, i
i cliuck-a-luck and a dozen other games j
that only the sporting fraternity have I
names for are represented. At times ;
the "whole building is crowded and it
' is with difficulty that one can get i
close enough to some of the tables to i
make a bet or even see what the game i
is. At the monte games a five cent |
piece may be seen waiting its turn for j
better or worse alongside of a hundred
dollar bet made bv some one who is ;
flush and who is tapping the bank.'
The roulette tables seem to be the :
favorites. One evening I counted live j
ia full blast. There were eager, ex-j
cited crowds around each game. It is
a mistake to suppose1 that only gamblers
and the lower classes indulge in ;
gambling. Ewerybody here does it, j
from the most prominent official and I
merchant down to the poorest laborers." ;

FOR THE FAIR SEX.
Courting at the Grave.
A lato issue of the Louisville (Ky.) i
Courier Journal says : One of the most j
romantic marriages on record took place
in this city yesterday, by which Benja- j
i_ain iciguauuj a oiuiic uuucij ?
ted to Mrs. Amelia Wagner. The story
of the courtship and marriage is a singular
one and plainly shows in what
strange channels love will run.
Several months ago the helpmate of
Mrs. Wagner died, and his remains were
buried in Cave Hill cemetery, in the
family burying grounds. Time passed
swiftly by, and after daily visits to the
cemetery Mrs. Wagner became convinced
that a monument reared over
the mound that covered her deceased
helpmate would much improve tne ioo?s i
of things thereabouts. So she had a
plain marble shaft' erected over the
grave. This remained there for some
time, and Mrs. Wagner resolved that
she would have some inscription carved
upon the monument, setting forth the
good qualities of the deceased, and leaving
some memento of her affection.
She looked around for some one to carve
the inscription, and at length Ferguson
was employed, and he commenced his
task three days ago. He began work
early in the morning, and during the
day the disconsolate widow came to
the cemetery to watch the progress of
the work. The stone-cutter was very
much interested in the widow, all the
more from the fact that she had a very
handsome face, and he thought it was
his duty to console her. He paused
frequently between, the strokes of his
hammer and offered her words of condolence,
at the same time intimating to
her that there was yet a bright page
left in the book of life for her. By
evening quite an intimacy was established
between the two, the widow
thinking what a nice fellow the stonecutter
was, and wondering if there was
not some way besides money in which
sho could lepay him for his labors. On
the other hand he came to the conclusion
that the most solid comfort he
could offer her was by offering to take
the place of her deceased husband. He
returned to Ms work the next day, and
the widow also came. Matters were
renewed upon a more solid footing than
before, and by night a bargain had been
made that the widow was to pay him for
his labors by bestowing upon him her
hand, and he was to occupy the place in
her heart left vacant by the death of her
husband. On the third day after their
meeting, yesterday, there was a quiet
wedding and the two were made one*
The inscription on the monument remains
half completed, just a3 he left it !
on the second day. He will probably
renew his labors on the epitaph as soon
as ins iiuiifcijriiLuuxi ib over.

An extraordinary marriage ceremony !
recently took place at Portsmouth, England.
A Miss Hainwaring, the daughter
of an army officer, was about to be
married, and her trousseau had been
prepared and all other arrangements
made; but a few days before the time
fixed for the wedding she sickened and
died. Nevertheless it was determined
to go through the marriage ceremony as
far as possible before the interment.
Her body wae, therefore, taken in the
coffin to church, followed by her friends
in wedding costume, the deceased's
wreath of orange blossoms being placed
at the head of the coffin. Several clergymen
officiated, and, after reading the
marriage service, that for funerals was
proceeded with, after which the cortege
proceeded to Portsmouth cemetery,
where the interment took place.

All About Dolls.
None of the millions of China and wax i
dolls which are sold annually in the >
United States are manufactured here. 1
Germsnv, England and France supply '
the world with dolls, and the manufac- j
ture or control of the same is in such a <
small number of hands that they can <
manipulate the market to a great de- :
gree, and can create great famines or \ 1
run corners to suit their convenience or !1
profit.
Go into one of the great toy estab- j \
lishments. and while rows of natterns i
will be foxmd of the most exquisite cast
and feature that one can conceive; faces
that seem unparalleled for beauty ; yet,
these models are the exact counterparts i
of little children, which the maker has
found in some country or clime. It is his
duty to examine the successive gen- i
erations of ihe human race, and select j
the most beautiful for reproduction in j
wax and plaster. The models originate ;
all new fashions in dolls. Fashions in
dolls one cxclaims. Yes, dolls are as i
changeable in style as the modern;
woman. The modelers are scientifically
exact in reproducing and molding the
facial expression.
The artisan sometimes gets into |
trouble. It is related that one of the
profession saw a child of surpassing i
iioonfr in +"h? ctvppt; It had a more ex- :
quisite cast of countenance than lie had
ever before seen. "When no one was I
looking he coaxed the child a short.
distance, and rapidly repaired with it
to his quarters. It was not long before
the country was aroused over the mysterious
disappearance. Rewards were
freely oflered for the recovery of the j
child, and threats against the abductor.
Meantime he fashioned a model of more
than rare beauty, and, fearing the consequences
of abduction, he dispatched
the child. The dolls were manufactured
and sent to many countries, meeting
with a remarkable sale. One day a detective
discovered the face of the lost;
child stamped on a doll in a toy store, i
The whole matter at once dawned upon !
him, and the guilty person was traced ;'
out and punished.
The wax dolls are, of course, the fin-:
est. It requires great skill to make
them. The material is sold to work- j
men who have models at home. A i
figure is first made out of lime and j
plaster of Paris. The eyes, nose and
mouth are cut out with a kniie. The j
figure is then dipped in red-hot wax and
dried. The doll is next painted, after I
which it is sent to the hairdresser to I
finish, and finally given to girls to dress, j
A good quality of doll will have a thick j
coating of wax. Cheaply made wax j
dolls invariably crack in cold weather. ;
The wax which is used comes from bees i
and "perfin." There are whole villages j
in Germany which do nothing else but j
make dolls, of which Stoneburg is the j
most famous.
China dolls are made in factories, j
They are first modeled, and burned in I
ovens. After this process they are re- j
moved, painted and glazed. This ope- j
ration involves a great risk. Suppose j
5,000 to be in the oven at one time. No j

the baking, they are liable to come out in j
all sorts of shapes, from which perhaps, |
but 1,000 first-class specimens will be j
secured. If the tender sleep a wink or ;
be inattentive the whole lot may come I
out bungled. What becomes of the j
spoiled ones? They are sold to cheap >
stores, which retail them as first-class ]
at an enormous profit to a victimized j
public. They may be found flooding I
fairs and similar resorts. People who j
want good dolls can only find them at j
first-class establishments. The poor1
goods generally have black spots, or a j
flaw in the shape. Dolls are found in !
eighteen different sizes. Number j
eighteen is very large and requires a j
strong child to carry it. One factory in
Germany owns sis ovens, into which
150,000 dolls can be baked at once.
It requires one week to bake tbom
properly and the fires must be kept going
day and night. They require con- j
stant care. If a draft of air be admitted, >
or if a certain temperature is not kept j
up, the result will be disastrous. The i
doll manufactories in Germany alone J

dolls, however, emanate from Paris, j
One firm in Germany has been in ope-!
ration 125 years, and is the oldest in
the world. There are now said to be
one thousand different models for dolls.
There was such enormous demand in
1879 that an actual doll famine occurred
and the American foreign supply was j
cut oft.
.
Concerning Corn.
The demand for corn increases every ;
year. Until very recently none was
wanted for exportation and little wai- i
used at home for other purposes thai j
food for men and hogs and for the |
manufacture of whisky. The demand ;
for corn for export is now very large, j
while its uses at home have multiplied. |
The glucose manufacturers of the country j
consume immense quantities of it, and j
a considerable amount is used in starch ]
TvfnrA nnra is now fed to the i
cattle and sheep than was the case a ;
few years ago. For the production of !
fancy beef and mutton, such as is
wanted for shipping to England, corn is I
necessary. Feeding corn to milch cows :
is a comparatively new thing, but it is '
practiced by a large number of dairy-!
men in all parts of the country.
Attention has lately been called to |
the somewhat limited area of country j
that is adapted to the profitable produc-1
tion of corn. It is true that it can be I
produced in every State and Territory on
this side of the Kocky mountains, but,
it is a profitable crop in only a small
proportion of them. Except in a few
ounties in Virginia, Kentucky and
Tenneessee it cannot be produced to
much profit south of the Ohio river.
The western limit of the profitable pro-!
duction of corn is about two hundred i
miles west of the Missouri. North of |
Iowa corn is likely to be killed by frost j
before it matures, and only the quick- j
growing varieties can be raised. East I
of the Allegheny mountains, except in !
favored localities, corn is only produced !

labor and the application of considerable
manure.
Every year a larger area of land is I
brought under cultivation, and the pro- i
ductions of wheat, rye, oats, barley, j
tobacco, cotton and potatoes is ex- j
tended. But the area of corn land is |
not increased to any considerable ex-'
tent. We have new wheat lields in
Minnesota, Dakota, California, Oregon
and Washington; ne'y cotton fields in
Arkansas, Texas and southern California,
and new tobacco fields in almost I
every part of the country. But the j
areaplaDted in corn remains restricted, j
Corn raised in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois j
and Iowa goes north, south, east and j
west. It is wanted in states where
large quantities of other breadstuffs |
are produced and where bat little is j
raised. Some held that the territory j
where corn can be profitably produced
is becoming more restricted every year, j
They state that the Indians raised good ;

portions of Minnesota, Michigan and
New York, and that climatic or other j
changes have now rendered its produc- I
tion difficult, if not impossible. They j
also affirm that corn is not profitably ,
raised as far south as it was in the early j
history of the country.?Chicago Times, i

its outer walls of the devil, hoof, tail,
horns and all. The devil is thought

The French woman knows -when and

She never wears her choicest silk in

worth of the costliest stuffs taken out
foi an afternoon airing a la Broadway
of New York oi the United States of

made exclusively f<?r the drawing-room
are dragged into the street, possibly
because the wearers have no drawingrooms
to wear them in. You drop all
your letters here at the tobacco shop.
The French soldier is everywhere. Eedregged
and undersized. French drivers
do a great deal of whip-cracking. The
noise in the street sounds like the
continual drop of fire-crackers. Cabmen
all wear high glazed hats and long

barbecue ground is generally located
near a spring. Around its clear waters
are liung a score of gourd dippers.
Starting early in the morning we find
the campers already humming like a
hive. Lcng, broad ditches have been
dug and these are floored with coals a
foot deep, ever which are laid great
splits and on these huge carcasses of
hogs and bullocks. Farther on beyond
these trenches are great log fires, which
are kept constantly blazing, so that at
any time the ditches may be replenished
with coals. Such hissing and crackling
as there is above these immense fires as
the mounting flames curl and wreathe
themselves into great columns of smoke!
Scores of coaches,"buggies and wagons
are pouring in, filled with a laughing,
jolly crowd, all intent upon a dav's
frolic. Families come on horseback,
while not unfrequently can be seen
three riders to one mule. Gayly-dressed
ladies come with their escorts and negroes
flock in on foot. The whole
country seems to have entered into the
frolic. Down by the great boiling kettles
near the spring the darkies are
dressing shoats, sheep and great beeves.
Every animal is left whole, but is split to
the back bone. Long tables are spread
beneath the pines. The horn is blown
for dinner. As the band strike up a
lively air the people wind in long, fantastic
line in and out among the trees to
the well-spread tables beneath. Babies
crow and prattle,mothers chat together

can be more jolJy than a Maryland barbecue.
A Great Shot.
A Paris letter to the Philadelphia
Press tells of a wonderful shot. There
is a man giving exhibitions in shooting
at one of the cafe concerts in the
Champs Elyseeswho is the peer in skill
of any marksman I ever saw, and I
have seen the best of them. His
name is Leo, and he is a Belgian.
He became a famous marksman when
a boy. At twenty he drew "a bad
number" and went into the army,
where he got to be an officer, whereupon,
there being no wars, he resigned
and rushed off to India to shoot pan+l->avc

used to "knock 'em cold," but one day
a lion which he had shot through the
brain revived sufficiently to break
Leo's thigh bone with oue blow of his
paw, and the mighty hunter"
returned to Belgium. On his recovery
he went into the show business,
and, as I have already stated, is now
in Paris giving exhibitions which are
really wonderful. I have seen him
shoot three balls into one place on
top of the other, and so accurately
that it seemed as though one bullet
bad passed the iron. I have seen him
cut in twain a telegraph wire at thirty
paces, which was so fine that I could
just see it at the same distance. He
is not a trick shooter like Dr. Carver,
nor a pigeon slaughterer like Captain
Eogardus, nor a long range rifleman
like Bruce and Sumner and Gregory
and Kathbone and nearly a hundred
others whom I could mention, but hs
is at short range one of the most
skillful in the world, and his attempte
are nightly watched by large and interesting
audiences.
Prnce Up :
This is the sort of advice we would give to a
nervous, dyspeptic sufferer. Infuse more vitality
into your muscics aad brain, ray attenuated
friend! Do it with Hostetter's Stomach
Bikers, in llie face of its unbounded popularity
and the concurrent evidence in its favor,
you can scarcely doubt that it is potent for
good. Use it then, use it persistently and regularly.
not spasmodically and for a few days. A.
remedy with such a refutation deserves a fair
trial. If you are dyspeptic, your malady will
e ventually yield to it; if you are feeble, lack
llesh and feel despondent, it will both build
and cheer you up; if you are constipated, it
will relieve, and if bilious, healthfully stimulate
your liver. Don't despond, but make this
effort iu the right direction. It will eventuate
in your relief, and pay you physically, mentally
anu linaneially. Take our advice and act
upon it without delay, before some serious
malady lays you on your back.

FOE DROPSY
I MerSM Forget tie First Dose,
PEOVIDEXCE.
JIR-H. R. STEVESS: __
i fjtsir Sir?I havo hoen a crreat sufferer from dropsy.
I was contined to ray house more than a year. Six
j mouths of the time I was entirely helpless. I wa?
obliged to have two men help me m and out of bed.
: I was swollen 19 inches larger than my natural size
' around my waist. I suffered all a man could and
! live. l tried all remedies for dropev. I had three
j different doctors. My friends all expected I would
l die; many nights I was expected to die before morn;
ins. At last Vegetine was sent me by a friend. I
i never shall forget the first dose. I could realize its
| good effects from dav to day: I was Retting better.
After I had taken some 0 or C bottles I could sleep
j quite well nights. I began to gain now quite fast.
After taking some 10 bottles I could walk from one
part of my room to the other. My appetite was good;
i the dropsy had at this time disappeared. I kes>t tak;
iug the Vegetine until I regained my usual health. I
j heard of a groat many cures by u?ing Vegetine after
I got out and was able to attend to my work. I am a
! carpenter and builder. I will also say it has cured
j an aunt of my wife's of neuralgia, who had suffered
! for more than 20 years. She says she has not had
any neuralgia for eight months. I have given it to
i one of my children for canker humor. I havo no
! doubt in my mind it will cure any humor; it is a
: great cleanser of the blood: it is safe to give a child.
; I will recommend it to the world. My father is 80
years old, and lie says there is nothing like it to give
Rtrength and life to an aped person. I cannot be
; too thankful for the use ot it. I am.
Very gratefully yours, JOHN S. NOTTAGE.
All Diseases of the Blood.?If Vegetine will
relieve pain, cleanse, purify and cure such diseases,
r.~!fnrini' fli<? to Tvrfwt health after trying
1 different physicians, many remedies and suffering
i for years, is it not conclusive proof, if you are a su:|
ferer, you can be cured? Why is this medicine performing
such frreat cures? It works in the blood, in
> the circulating fluid. It can truly be called tho
Great Mood J'uri/kr. The great source of disease
! originates in the blood; and no medicine that does
I not act directly upon it, to purify and renovate, has
j any just claim upon public attention.
Vegetine.
