The grown-up baa never eaten such delicious raspberries as those we found In the fence rows on a hot day returning | from the swimming bole.—Exchange. And never will, so long as the earth | shall stand. Society notes: Mrs. Angle, held for investigation by the police in coonrctioo wltb a recent death, has gone to her sum mer home in Maine, where she antici pates a pleasant season. Mrs. Carman, under indictment for manslaughter, ha· decided to give up the quiet summer which she had intended, aud will favor a number of the most fashionable resort· | with her presence for a short time each.

Even now that Huerta is eliminated, the Washington dispatches say that "Peace is by no means assured in Mexi co." Almost superfluous information to J intelligent readers. Treatment of Work tierces. The Boston Work Horse Relief Associ atioo sends out the following hot weather I rules. They are worth reading and fol lowing: « » J lui.·). i .4ι„ *· "Β""/ J · 2. Stop in the shade if possible. 3. Water your borse as often as pos sible. So long M the horse is work inn, water io moderate quantities will not hurt him. But let him drink only a few •wallows if he is going to stand still. Do sot fail to water bim at night after be bas eaten bis bay. 4. When be comes in after work, sponge off the harness marks and sweat, bis eyes, bis nose and month, and the dock. Wash his feet but not his legs. 5. If tb· thermometer is 75 degrees or higher, wipe him all over with a wet sponge. Use vinegar water if possible Do not turn the hose on bim. 6. Saturday night, give a bran ma.tb, cold; and add a tablespoon of salt-pel re 7. Do not use a horse-hat, unless it i» • canopy-top. The ordinary bell-aliaped bat does more barm than good. 8. A sponge on top of the bead, or even a clotb, is good if kept wet. If dry it la worse than nothing. 9. If the horse is overcome by beat, get him into the shade, remove barness and bridle, wash out his mouth, .sponge him all over, shower bis legs, and give bim four ounces of aromatic spirits of ammonia, or two ounces of sweet spirits of nitre, in a pint of water; or give him a pint of coffee warm. Cool his bead at once, using cold water, or, If necessary, chopped ice, wrapped in a cloth. 10. If the horse is off bis feed, try bim with two quarts of oats mixed with bran, and a little water; and add a little ■alt or sugar. Or give him oatmeal gruel or barley water to drink. 11. Watch your hors·. If be stops sweating suddenly, or if be breathes short and quick, or if his ears droop, or if be stands with hia legs braced side ways, be is in danger of a beat or sun airoke, and needs attention at once. 12. If it is so hot that the horse sweats in the «table at night, tie him out side. Unless be cools off during the night, he cannot well stand the next day's heat. War U What ? HO Μ Κ VAR1KD POINTS OF VIKW THAT KKACU FAK, F VK Al'AKT. The Enlisted Man—chance to break the deadly routine of the parade ground with some re.il excitement.

The program of music and readings waa of high cla·· and re dacted much credit upon all who took parr. The violin eolos by Miu Marion Haakeli, the piano aolo· by Mi·· Roth Cummiogs, the readinga by Mr. Knick erbocker and the songs by Mis· Mary Little, all showed ability of a high or der and every number on the program received a hearty encore.

Several persons bave called and viaited here during the past week, and probably more will before it closes. We all know what last week was for getting hay, while this has been somewhat below the standard at times. O. L Peabody still keeps hie farm on Patch Mountain and is now cutting his bay on it, while hie mother does the housework. A letter from D. O. Davis of Minnesota informs us that the season was very rainy until the first of July, so that the crops art about three weeks late; but since then the weather has been âne, and everything i· booming In answer to bis question about the apple crop, will say it looks promising, as does also the small fruit, except atrawberriea, which are past. Mr. Davis will be 83 in Janu ary,if .and except an occasional lame nes· he calls himself well preserved for a person of that age, and especially when thinking of the fonr years of bi· army life in the civil war. Recently the question waa aaked in some paper, "Who has the button?" Now it so happens that we have it, and not only one but two of them; and here will give the history of each in a nut shell. The first to mention ia of solid copper nearly an inch in diameter, concavo con vex in form, the button and eye being one solid piece. In the upper surface is a six-rayed star, and round the edge a small rim. The under surface contains only the English crown and the words, "Best quality," in small raised letters. That button was one of a set that father wore on a swallow tail coat seventy five years ago, and being waabed in some kind of white metal the whole set looked more like silver than copper. The other button ia brass, a size small er than the other, fiat instead of convex, and worn by an uncle at the same time. On the upper side there lies an open book, probably intended for the Bible, around which are the words in raised letters, "In God we trust." Possibly those words were truer in those days than now, unless the golden calf was intended Oilead. Nathan Coffin of Gorharn, X. H., was in towD laat Tuesday on business.
