CATS AS FARM STOCK. —The "harm
less, unnecessary cat" is not so well
treated as it deserves. One rarely con
siders that a well-kept cat may
profitable than a cow. If one rat per
day is destroyed, the services of the cat
may be estimated as at least equal to SIOO
per year. us try to calculate the
enormous damage done by 3t>o rats in
one rear, to say nothing of the ravages
of the numerous progeny of the veruiiu.
One rat per day is a moderate amount
of business for mnactiveeat. Recently
tne writer counted Ave rats captured iu
a stable by one cat in one day, and pos
sibly others were not seen. The cat be
ing weli fed, hunted for amuseiueut,
and did not eat the prey. This ia the
principal point in the management of a
vat. It sbouid be well and regularly
fed, for rats are unwholesome food.
Tbey are in tested with larttcof tape
worms. and cats arc frequently tor
mented with the mature parasites in
consequence or diseased rats. When
kept free from hunger a cat will watch
more patiently, and will only occasion
ally devour a rat or a mouse. The most
successful food for a cat is a mixed ani
mal and vegetable diet. Milk and bread,
a few potatoes with meat gravy, or a
little fat and a spriukling of salt, with
an occasional scrap of meat, are excel
lent food, and will keep the animal in
good health.
VSETIXK.— Fr eradicating all im
parities of the bloo 1 from the system,
it has no equal. Il has never failed
elect a sure, giving tone and
strength to the system debilitated by
Ctevauxfi MANURE.—It is remarka
ble that more attention is not given to
the subject of covering manure from
the weather, and especially from too
roach rain. Those who have given the
matter particular atteution have found
that manure so protected is worth doub
le that which is left ont in the open air.
Two loads lor oue is a profit few far
mer* can aflord to lose. There is no
question to vitally concerns the farmer
at this one of manure. Much that he
doc* has reference to it. Straw is not
to ho fed through the winter for the ex
press purpose of manure making. Ar
ticles which scarcely pay to send to
market are nevertheless taken to the
city In order that manure may be
brought back as a return load : and yet
the whole ot the manure made remains
all the season exposed to the sun, wind
and rain until It is tiimiuished one-hail'
tu value. The trouble is probably that
lew really believe that exposed man
ures undergo this loss. But the matter
has been too thoroughly tested to ad
mit of a doubt. We know first-class
farmers who did not themselves be
lieve it until by actual experiment they
lound out its truth. Iu arranging
farm buildings ft will pay well to look
as much to the preservation of the man
ure as to the hav or grain, and those
who have their buildings already fin
ished without these manurial arrange
ments will find that twenty-five or fifty
dollars spent on boards for a covered
shed will rank among the best invest
ments ever made.
CHARCOAL FOB SICK ANIMALS. —Near-
Iy all sick animals become so by impro
per feeding in the first place. Nine
cises out of ten the digestion is wrong.
Charcoal is the most efficient and rapid
corrective. It will eure a majority of
cases if properly administered. An
example of its uses. The hired man
came in with the intelligence that one
of the finest cows was very sick, and a
kind neighbor proposed' the usual
drugs and poisons. The owner being
ill and unable to examine the cow, con
cluded that the trouble came from
over-eating, and ordered a teaspoonful
of pulverized charcoal to be given in
water. It was mixed, placed in a junk
bottle, the head turned upward, and
the water turned downward. In five
minutes improvement was visible, and
in a few hours the animal was in the
pasture quietly grazing. Another in
stance of equal success occurred with a
young heiler which had become badly
bloated by eating green apples after a
hard wind. The bloat was so severe
that the sides were as hard as a barrel.
The old remedy, saleratus, was tried
for correcting the acidity. But the at
tempt to put it down always raised
coughing, and it did little good. Half
a teacupful of fresh powdered charcoal
was given. In six hours all appear
ance of the bloat had gone, and the hei
fer was well.
A WORLD or GOOD. —One of the
most popular medicines now before
the American public, is Hop Bitters.
You see it every where. People take it
with good effect. It builds them np.
It is not as pleasant to the taste as some
other Bitters as it is not a whiskey
drink. It is more like the old-fashion
ed bone set tea that has done a world
of good. If you don't feel just right
try Hop Bitters.— Xunda Yet es
A small percentage of silver and cop
per is added to gold for heating, say
about 1% per cent, of alloy.
A Hint to Workingmsn,
The honest workingmen of the coun
try, many of whom have large and in
creasing families to support, have been
the chief sufferers from the great fi
nancial pressure under which we have
labored for the last few years. Dimin
ished wages have not been attended by
a corresponding dlminuation in price of
every tning which the workingman
needs. Rents, fuel, food, and clothing,
are cheaper, but these do not constitute
all his necessities. It is sometimes ne
oesaary for him to employ a lawyer or a
physician, yet the fee rates of physi
cians and lawyers are as high as they
were in •'flush" times. * Yet cheap
medicines are as necessary as cheap
rents or fuel. Cheap medicines are not
necessarily poor medicines. It must
be obvious to every intelligent person
that medicines, compounded and put
up at wholesale, can be sold at much
lower rates than when retailed from
the doctor's pill bags. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasant
Purgath e Pellets have completely re
stored persons who had spent hundreds
of dollars in vainly seeking relief ftem
private practitioners, and all at a very
little expenditure.
DOMESTIC.
WEARING FLANNEL. —Put it on at
once. Winter or gummer, nothing
better can be worn next the skin
than a loose, red woolen flannel shirt;
"loose," for it has room to move .on
the skin, thus causing a tltillatlon
which draws the blood to the surfaco
and keeps it there; and, when that ia
the case, noone can take a cold; "red,"
for white flannel fulls up, mats togetli2
er and becomes tight, stiff', %eavy and
Impervious; "woolen," the product of
a sheep and not of a gentleman of color,
i.ot of cotton wool, because that merely
absorbs the moisture from the surfaco
while woolen flannel conveys it from
the skin and deposits it In drops upon
the outside of the shirt, Irom which
the ordinary cotton shirt absorbs it,
and, by its nearer exterior air, it is
soon dried without injury to the body
Having these properties, red woolen
flannel is worn by sailors eyen in the
midsummer of the hottest countries.
Wear a thinner material in summer.
OATMEAl..— Oatmeal, Indian meal
and hominy all require two things to
make them perfect; that is plenty of
water when tirst put on to boil, and a
long time to boil. Have about two
quarts of boiling wkter iu a stewpan,
and into it stir one cup of oatmeal,
which you have already wet with cold
water; boil this an hour, stirring often,
th*h add half a spoonful of sr.lt, and
l>oil an hour longer. If it should get
too >iitf, add more boiling water? or if
too thin boil a little longer; you can
not boil It too much.
A LADY -i I t< m the other day.
"Dobbins' Electric S .tp. (made by Cra
gin & Co., Philadelphia, l'a.,) has saved
my life, it lias so lessened my labors
when I have been worn out." Try it
at once.
BLISTERS. —If you wish a blister to
heal quickly, be careful not to remove
the skin. Ou infants this should be ob
served. The iirst dressing should be
lily or cabbage leaves coddled in boil
ing water. Then a salve made thus:
one part wax, one part lard, one part
turpentine from the pine-tree; melt
and strain. Resin is sometimes used
instead of turpentine. This makes
basil icon. If the part blistered be in a
situation apt to be rubbed, cover with
cotton bats, as in tne case of a burn,
especially if the patient be an infant.
APPLES may bo kept in pits, as pota
toes are. Put them on Lite ground, not
in a hole but on the surface, and pile
them in a conical heap; cover with
sheaves of straw gathered together at
the top and tied there. The straw
be a foot thick. Then cover the straw
with earth dug around the heip, leav
ing tlio extreme point of the straw un
covered for ventilation. The pit should
bo made iu a high aud dry place.
HE is a fool. We mean the man, who
lets his baby cry all night in the arms
of its mother, and does not sleep a
w ink, when Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup will
quiet the baby by relieving its pain; a
bottle costing only 25 c<mts.
RECIPE FOR HARD SOAP. —Take
gallons of soft w ater, 3 pounds of sul
soda, 1 pound of unslaked lime; add
the three together and let them eouie
to a boil; take it from the fire and let
it stand till it settles clear: then drain
oil' the liquid from the lime, aud
add three pounds of clean grease to
the liquid; put* It back on the stove
and let it boil to the proper thickness,
say fiiteen minutt s. One ounce of es
sence may be added if desired.
SPRAINS AND BRUlSES.— Parsnip tops
beaten to a pulp and wetted with vine
gar are a good application; also bran
or clay, or brown paper, made wet with
vinegar. But for sprains or Druise6 the
best direction that can be given is to
wrap the part with a soft cloth in many
folds, and keep it constantly wet with
water as warm as the patient can bear
it. Tills treatment should be kept up
for an hour or two at a time.
No SAFER REMEDY can be had for
Coughs and Cold or any trouble of the
throat, than " Brown's Bronchial
Troches lmitations are offered for
sale, many of which are Injurious. The
genuine Bronchial Troches are sold
only iii boxes.
POTATO CAKES. —Take potatoes —
mash ed ones are best, but boiled ones
can be mashed—immediately after din
ner before getting too cold; add about
an equal amount of flour and a small
piece of butter or lard; rub thorough
ly together, roll out and cut as for bus
cult—not too thick and bake in a rather
quick oven. When done to a light
brown, cut open, butter and eat warm.
They are delicious.
MEAT LOAF.— Chop fine, whatever
cold meat yon may have, fat and lean
together; add pepper and salt, one
finely chopped onion, two slices of
bread which have been soaked In milk
and one egg. Mix well together and
bake in a form. This makes an admir
able tea or breakfast dish.
How TO WASH WINDOWS. —Have a
pall partly filled with clean tepid wa
ter; throw in a teaspoonful of powder
ed borax; have one small chamois dip
ped into the borax water, to wash the
windows; then with a dry chamois
rub the window dry, and polish. In
this way windows may be cleaned in a
very few moments and not wet the car
pets or tire the person.
THOUSANDS upon thousands of bot
tles of Carboline, a deodorized extract
of petroleum, have been soid, and from
all over the land comes one universal
cry, "Carboline, as now improved and
perfected, is tho best hair restorer
ever used. Sold by all druggists,
To CURE HKADACHB.— SimpIe reme
dies are frequently the best for head
ache. A cup of sour milk spread upon
a thin cloth and applied to the head
will many times give relief Or, a
mustard plaster on the back of the neck
will often ease the pain.
CUSTARD FOR CAKES. —One pint milk,
four eggs, two cups sugar, and half
cup of flour,; boil the milk, and while
it is boiling add sugar, eggs and flour,
and flavor it with lemon.
RAW CUSTARD.— For diseases of the
stomach when very delicate food is re
quired, this custard is excellent. Beat
up an egg with sugar to taste; add a
cup of milk and whatever flavor liked.
To proserve cider sweet and make 1?
sparkling, bottle it in wine bottles,
add a teaspoonful of white sugar to
each bottle, cork tightly and tie down
the cork firmly.

A GRANI> SCIIKMK. —''I have a most
wonderful scheme for making money,"
said a man on a Jersey city ferry boat
the other evening to a person whom ho
had never met before.
"What I. it?"
"Why a new system oi theology—
something a littlo more lurid and en
tertaining than the old-fashioned
style."
"What Is it to be called?"
"I'll tell you my scheme. I intend
to start a seminar}' out in the country
somewhere to be called Lawson's Ath
letic Seminary. I am going to have
the thlug flxed so that a green hand at
preaching can be developed Into a crack
aeroionizer."
"You can't make a preacher in that
time ?"
"Yes, I can. If he is strong, and has
any taste for athletic sports. Now, if
lie knows anything about the trap
eze—"
"The what?" gasped the hearer.
"The trapeze. 1 intend to have a
trapeze, horizontal bar and tumbler
pitchers; ami have made arrangements
to have a good gymnasium erected. 1
am also going to have lessous g.ven at
the pupils' residences—ten lessons lor
$25 just like boxing."
But who •will teach the Latin and
Greek, and can a pupil master these
languages In the space of time you
mention ?"
"There ain't going to be nay such
foolishness as that; It is going to be a
sort of Dclaarte sfl'iir; you will be able
to tell by the manner the preacher
turus iu the air when he say: My
idea is to have preaching by a reg
ulur sta.- company. To have one
man open a sermon by swinging
around a bar, and have another take
him up at the end of the paragraph by
turning a somersault, and have the
thing passed from one to the other
until a climax and wind-up is
reached."
"I)o you intend to have a cornet?"
"Not at all, air; not at all; lam go
ing to have bust) drums, and have the
doiuonies led by a regular leader stand -
ing ou a flour barrel, and the presenta
tion of bouquets is to be strictly prohib
; ited. It witl pay big money. It will
supplant pedestrianism. Now, what
I want you to do is to let me have a
quarter. I am just raising a little
money to have a plan drawn; the
building is to be of granite, three sco
ries high 1 think I can have you made
a stockholder. Now, then it you will
kindly dish me out the quarter—"
"I haven't a quarter 1"
"Well, let me have fifty cents."
"I haven't got it."
"Perhaps 1 can have you made Pres
ident of the institution."
"1 would'i be President your
' blamed old thing."
"No, I know you wouldn't; you are
too depraved; you would rather be
! President ola base ball club; you don't
believe in the evolution of theology,
you don't, and you ain't lit to drive a
back at Tilden's funeral,"
Then he went over and asked tT man
to give hitn a light as he pulled a stump
out of bis pocket.

IN Chiua, tneu never go to a barber
shop to get shaved. The barber travels
around with bis tools like a scissors
grinder, hunting up customers, and
you sit down on a doorstep or the curb
stones and the barber shaves and skins
you at the same time, for oue price,
which Is ridiculously low. An Amer
ican uever gets shaved by a Chinese
barber the second time. He would
rather be shaved and talked te death
by an American barber than be
skinned to death bv a heathen Chinee.

A GRATEFUL RECOGNITION.
"To cure a CHRONIC or LOHO BTANDINO DISBARS
is truly a victory in ,the healing art; that reason
ing power that clearly discerns nimtor and sup-
a remedy; that restores step by Bt< p—by
degrees—the body which has been slowly at
tacked an 1 weakened by n Insidious disease,
not only commands our respect but deserves
our grail'ude. Dr. Ralway has furnished man
kind wlih thnt wonderful remedy, Rad way's
Harsapnrllllan Resolvent which accom
plishes this result, and sulTer.iig humanity, ,
who drag out an existence of pain and disease,
through long days and long nights, owe Min
their gratitu le." Me .if IMm ngtr. •
FALSE AND TRUE.
We extract'from Dr. Radway's "T eatiae on
disease and Its Cure," as follows: •
Lilt of Diseases Cartd Jly
Radway's Sarsaparillias Resolrent.
Chronic Skin Diseases, carles of the Bone,
nuinors in the Blood,- Scrofulous Dipe ses. Bad
or uunaiural Habit of Body, Syphilis and Vene
real, I'ever Sores, chrouic or old Ulcere, salt
Rheum, Rickets, White swelling. Seal t. Head.
Uterine Affections, cankers, ofi u uiar swell
ings, Nodes, Wasting ant' Decay of the Body.
Pimples and Blotches Tumors, Dyspep-la, Kid
ney a d Bladder Diseases, chronic Rh umatlsm
and Uom, Consumption, Or tvel and calculous
Deposits, am varieties of ihe above corn plaints
to which sometime* are given specious unmet.
We assert that there is no known remedy that
possesses the curative power over these dis
eases th t RADWAY'S RESOLVENT furnishes. It
cures, step by step surely, from the founda
tion. and restores the injured parts to tnsir
sound condition. The wmtrnof (he body
wre stopped sad healthy blood Is sup
plied to the eyetena. from which new ma
terial L formed. Tula is the CO rectlve
power of RADWAY'S RESOLVENT In cases where,
ihe system has been tallvated and Mercury,
Quicksilver, Corrosive Sublimate have accumu
lated and become deposited in the bones, Joints,
etc.. causing carles of the bones, ricke s. spinal
.•urvaiurei, contirtlons. white Rwel.lng*, vari
cose veins, etc.. the SARSAPABILLJAN will resolve
away those deposits an • exterminate the virus
of the disease from the system.
If those who are taking th-se medicines for
the cure of Chronic. Scr fuious or Syphilitic dis
eases. however slow may b • the cure, "iecl bet.
ter," and flnd their general health Improving,
(heir fle-h and weight increasing, or even keep,
ing its own. Is a sure sign that the cure is pro
gressing. In these diseases the path at either
gets better or worse—the virus of the dlseadb
u not inactive; if not arrested and driven from
the blood it wiu spread and continue to uodere
mine the constitution. As soon as the SABAA
PAB'IJJ AN makes the patient • feel be'ter/' every
hour you will grow better and increase in health,
strength and flesh.
OVARIAN TUMORB.
The removal of these tumors by RABWAVS
R SOLVENT is now so certainly established that

Only requires minutes, not hours, to relieve
pain and cure acute disease.

Bilious, Bcariet, Typhoid. Yellow and other

Baowar's Ready Rbu.f.

War s Rsanr Rausr with them. A £eW drops
In water will prevent sickness or pains from
change of water. It is hotter than French
brandy or bitters as a stimulant.
Miners end Lumber men should always
be provided with It.
CAUTION.
All remedial agents oapable of destroying USe
by an overdo o Should ho avoided. Morphias,
opium, strychnine, arnica, hyogctamua, and
other powerful remedies, does at certain times,
in very small doses, relieve the pat ient daring
their action in the system. But perhaps the
second dose, if repeated, may aggravate and In
crease the suffering, and another dose cause
death. There is no necessity for using these
uncertain agents when a positive remedy like
Bad way's Kkadt Rblikp will stop the most ex
cruciating pain quicker, without entailing the
least difficulty In either Infant or adult.
THE TRUE BELIEF.
RadwaVs Rkadt Kklisv is the only remedial
agent in vogue that will instantly stop pain.
