Wanted a Postal Card.
Recently a man wearing a doubtful '
look came to the lamp clerk 'g window
in tle post-office for and asked
a postal card and facilities
for writing. He was a long time
getting ready to put his
pen to the card, and he only made a
stroke or two when he called out:
"How do you spell Jim?"
"Why, J-i-rn, of course," answered
the clerk.
"Don't look as if It was right," said
the man, as 110 held up the card and
scrutinized the word. Sure you havent"
made any mistake?"
"That's the way of course," said a
bystander. "How else could you spell
the name?"
That's so—how could 1?" smiled the
man. Now his other name is—is —well
knock me down if 1 haven't forgotten !
Why, hang it, 1 have known him for
ten years, and now I can't think of his
name! Jim—Jim —Jim —J-i-111—yum !"
He lookod round in a helpless way,
and one of the crowd said :
"You can write the message and think
of the name afterward."
"So 1 can. I \v • r. t to tell him his wile
is sick a bed, i. nudlord howlin"
round for re 1% t: <1 that he'd better
come home, ll N do you spell it ?"
"I'll writ T ' answered the clerk.
"He could l't read your sliearogra"
phy," said the stranger. "Jim ain't
much on education, and 1 have to write
just as poor as 1 can, or he can't make
out a word. Less see—do 1 start oil
with P. S., orwhat?
"1 should say, 'You are wanted to
come home at ouoe,' if it was me," sug
gested a car driver who was after a
stamp.
"Twouldn't do," sighed the man. I
wouldn't dare spring the thing on him
suddenly, or he'd make for Canada.
The place to tell him to come home is
down here at the bottom."
"Where is he?" some one asked.
"Why, in—in—in —why, blister my
ears—why—!"
"I'll bet you've forgot the place!"
shouted the car driver.
"J-i-111, Jim —J-i-m, Jim, and he's iu
iu—J-i-m, Jim!" gasped the man as he
looked around with an appeal in his
eyes.
The crowd mentioned twenty differ
ent places but he shook his head at each
one.
"If you can't think of his name, and
can't remember his address, how are
you going to send the card ?" asked the
clerk.
"That's so, how am I?" sighed the
man. "If you was me you wouldn't
send it, would you?"
"I don't think I would."
"Then I won't. If his wife knows
his name and the place where he
is she better write it."
And he walked away with his hat in
his hand, scratching his head and mut
tering, "J-i-m, Jim, and he's in-blister
my ears; 1 ought to have put that down
so that I could remember where he is.,'
Wedded on Horseback.
Nearly a month ago Mrs. A. E. Wat
son, of California, a sister of Mrs.
Wright, arrived at Buena Vista, Colo
rado. Mrs. Watson was found of horse
back riding, and about a week after her
arrival at Buena Vista, while on an
eq*estrian excursion, she met by chance
George Rouak, a wealthy stock-grower
of the Arkansas Valley, who was also
on horseback. It was a genuine case
of love at first sight, and just three
weeks from the day of their first meet
ing, the lovers, accompanied by Mrs.
Wright as brideraaid and A. J. Scott as
groomsman, started for Granite, Intend
ing to sit in their saddles and have said
the words which should unite them for
life. Although the start was made at
seven o'clock, the road was so had that
they did not reach Granite until about
noon. Just at the edge of the town,
while crossing a bridge, Mrs. Wright's
horse slipped. She held him up, but
while regaining her balance he slipped
again and fell, the lady being thrown
down an embankment. She was picked
up and carried to the nearest house,
where it was found that her right arm
was broken. The stage for Leadville
had arrived, and Mrs. Wright at once
determined to take It and come home
to her husband, S. D. Wright, who wa*
not with her, as had been reported.
But the ceremony had not been per
formed, and the plucky woman deter
mine# that the mishap should not in
terfere with the programme they had
arranged. She was carried to her horse
and held upon him, and while theeque.--
train bridal party gathered around a
Judge quickly united Mrs. Watson and
Mr. Rouak for lite. Mrs. Wright in-
Fisted that they should go back to their
pleasant home in Buena Vista and en
joy their honey-moon, leaving her to
. come alone to Leadville. She carried
her point, and arrived here at a late
hour, nearly frozen and almost crazy
with pain. Coming up from Granite
she rode outside all the way. On the
Malta road ihe driver of the coach
found a house on the way, and endeav
oring to turn out and pass by the coach
'was upset, but a. lady anil gentleman
who were sitting with Mrs. Wright
held her in such away that she was
not hurt, although her nerves suffered
another terrible shock.

FARM AND GARDEN.
GRAFTING GRATE VINES.— Those who
wish to gratt their vines over with
other vines should remember that
ter and not spring is the time for It—
and In the season the grape is different
from most other trees. Ills different
in this, that in the spring ol the year
there is such a tremendous pressure
upward by the ascending sap that the
parts of the scion and stock which to
unite must of course touch one another
are forced by the sap apart. When the
grafts are put In at this season there is
little of this. The severed cells gran
ulate and heal, and when the sap i*
ready to flow upwards strongly it goes
up through its regular channels in the
graft without any tendency to break
out through the junction, llow to
graft grape vines admits of many vari
ous replies. The best is probably that
described years ago by Samuel Miller,
of Missouri, who was very successful as
a grafter of the grape, lie drew away
the soil from the stock to be graft
ed, cut it ilow 11 about two inches
from the surface, then cut with
a stout sharp knife a long narrow
wedge-shaped notch in the stock, and
shaped the scion as a wedge to tit in the
notch in the stock. The lips of the
notch are then tied together and tlie
eartli drawn in around the whole,
leaving the upper eye ot the graft above
the ground. We may say that it is very
astouishing that grafting is not more
generally practised, and especially
since the discovejy that the great suc
cess of the Concord, Clinton anil a few
other grapes is not owing to any extra
hardiness, but to the fact that the power
to throw out numerous tibrous roots
is greater In Jiesc kinds. If this he
true, and it seems to bo really the case,
wc uiay have the choicest and best of
grapes by grafting them 011 these vig
orous rooting stocks. For once the
French seem to have taken a start
ahead of us in this matter. They sent
an agent to this county some years ago
—a shrewd observing fellow—and lie
took in the whole situation at once.
The result has been that millions 011
millions of Concord and Clinton cut
tings have been sent to France the past
five or six j-ears, and in future wines
of that country may be brought to a
higher grade of perfection than ever
before.

MEAT AND NOT FAT. —Butchers In
America as well as in England and
Scotland evidently see signs of the ap
proach of a radical change in public
taste in the matter of the meats wanted
for use, fresh on the table. Tune was
when to suit the public taste, meat of
any kind must be fat. Now to offend
the public taste one 1 as but to show
meat accompanied by a thick border of
tallow. One who was for many years a
successful butcher In England says the
disposition is to reject lat in bu\ ing
beef or mutton, and we have lately seen
in English papers complaints from
butchers there of this tendency. They
complain that they cannot afford to
cut fat bullocks and sell the lean flesh
only without asking prices which seem
to consumers altogether too high in
comparison with the prices paid for the
living animal*. There has been less
complaint about this, perhaps, on this
side of the water, but the effect of our
financial stress was shown in another
way. People stopped buying meat
when they found they could 110 longer
afford to pay the price of a prime steak
for tallow, worth live or six cents, per
haps, to the butcher, but worth little
or nothing to the average household.
They wanted meat and not fat for their
money. No one can be surprised at the
growth of a disposition to reject fat
when flesh is wanted. People have
learned that in fat there is little or 110
food suitable to this climate, and to the
wants of the majority of meat-eaters.
There is little muscle forming food in it,
and so it is not an economical 100 1 for
those who have heavy manual labor to
do. For the professional man, and lor all
confined to sedentary occupations, 110
one supposes it tit food. It is to be re
gretted that our forefathers did not d s
cover this before they ruined their di
gestive organs and bequeathed to later
generations dyspepsia and kindred ills.
The stomach of even those who work
in the open air much of the time are
scarcely able 10 digest the qnantities of
grease they are often charged with, at d
e7en the farmers are beginning to 8 e
that fat meat is not always cheap meat.
It is true the hired man will eat less tat
pork than lean beef, but he will give In
return for the lat less labor. If you*
starve his muscle you cannot reasonably
expect his muscle to give you a liberal
and profitable return.
HENS IN WINTER. — If eggs are ex
pected during the winter months—and
they ought to be—the fowls u ust be
kept warm and well fed. They will
not bear crowding, a fact that is too
often overlooked, liens are naturally
active creatures, and must have room
to run and exercise themselves. The
house must be. kept clean, and an
abundance of fresh air and pure water
provided; also a constant supply of
oyster shells or bones, broken fine.
FARMERS who spread on a thin coat
of twelve or fifteen loads of manuro to
the acre, and expect to raise a good
crop, would be astonished to see the
quantities of the best kinds of manure
which market gaidenors often apply to
an acre of land near the cities. What
would they say to the application of
S6OO worth of horse manure to a sirgle
acre? Two or three hundred dollars
worth of manure pet acre is a common
thing among market gardeners, and
they find their reward In so doing.
THE FINEST MANURE.— The finest
manure is made by turning the heap
over twice. To do this, begin at each
end of the pile, and throw off the ma
nure to a distance of three feet, build
ing up the new heaps, and placing the
coarsest manure in the centre. Then
proceed until two heaps are made.
These will soon heaf, and a month or
so afterwards the process may be re
versed and the'two heaps made into one
again.
GENERAL DEBILITY. —In this com
plaint the good effects of the Vegetine
are realized immediately after com
mencing to take it; as debility denotes
deficiency of the blood, and Vegetine
acts directly upon the blood. There is
no remedy that will restore the health
from debility liko the Vegetine. It is
nourishing and strengthening, purifies
the blood, regulates the bowels, quiets
the nervous system, acts directly upon
the secretions, and arouses the whole
system to action. It has never failed
in this complaint.
DOMESTIC.
IIKRK are two formulas for manufic
turing that favorite cosmetic. Florida
water: (1) Oil of bergamot, 4 ounces;
oil of lemon, (3 ounces; oil of lavender,
1 ounce; oil of cloves, 6 drachms (wine
measure), alcohol gallons; water
(wine measure), 6 pints. The oils and
alcohol must be mixed and allowed to
stand a day or two, after which the
water should be carefully added. (2)
Oil of bergumot, 8 ouncei); oil of orange,
4 ounces; oil of cinnamon (true), l- 4
ounce; tincture of orris, pint; tinct
ure of Peru balsam, pint; alcohol, 4
gallons; water, 6 pints. Mix and let
it remain quiet for some days, before
Altering and boiling.
A CUKE FOR Coins. —Boil t wo ounces
linseed in a quart of water; when boil
ed strain, add two ounces sugar-candy,
half a pint of 1110 asses, juico of three
lemons; mix well, put on the stove, let
it eome to a boil, then take It off, and
as soon as cold bottle it; take a teacup
tul before going to bed ; the hotter you
drink it the better it is.
BARLEY WATER. —To a tablespooniul
of pearl barley, washed In cold water,
add two or three lumps of sugar, and
the juice of half a lemon. On these
pour one quart of boiling water and let
it stand seven or eight hours; strain;
never use the barley a second tiuie.
Half an ounce of isinglass may be boil
ed In the water. Increase the sugar if
desirable. For fevers or weak stomachs
a strengthening drink.
KICK COFFEE. Brown rice as you
would the coffee bean, and then either
grind or mash in the mortar; take half
a cup of the ground rice, and pour
about a quart of bo'ling water over it
and let it stand about ten or lit teen
minutes; then strain and sweeten with
loaf sugar and season with boiled milk.
Drink of this freely. This is particu
larly nice for children.
THERE IS but one real cure for bald
ness—Carboltne, a deodorized extract
of petroleum, a natural Hair Restorer.
As recently improved, Carboline is tree
from any objection. The best hair
dressing known.
A Goon DRINK FOR THE LUNGS.
Wash clean a few pieces ot Irish moss;
put it in a pitcher, and pour over it two
cups of boiling water. iSet where it
will keep at the boiling point, hut not
boil, for two hours. Strain, and squeeze
into it the juice of one lemon. Sweet
en to taste. ]f the patient cannot take
lemon, flavor with vanilla or nutmeg.
BEEFSTEAK. —Have a very small piece
of purloin steak, rather thick. When
everything is ready on the tray, put
the steak over a clear coal lire to broil;
cook eight minutes; season with salt;
disli 011 a warm plate, and serve immed
iately.
PLUM PORRIDGE. —Into one quart of
boiling milk stir two tablespoonfuls of
flour mixed with cold milk; put iii a
handful of raisins and a iittle g:'..ted
nutmeg. 801 l twenty minutes. Reason
with salt, and strain.
CORN TEA. — Brown, and pound in a
morur, one cup of sweet dry corn;
pour on this two cups of boiling water,
aud steep fifteen minutes. This is
very light and nutritious, and can be
taken when the patient is very weak.
No greater guarentee of the excel
lence of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup could
be furnished than that it is recom
mended by all the leading Druggists.
To REMOVE STAIN FROM MATTRESSES.
Make a thick paste bj weitlng stureh
in cold water, spread this over the
stain, first placing the mattress in the
sun. Rub off in a couple of hours, and
if the ticking is no perfectly clean, re
peat the process.
A REMEDY FOR NEURALGIA.— Rub
with tlie hand vigorously, until that
part of the body seems numb, and the
pain will ceases. This process will
cure almost any pain, at d t at
que tyin an open s< r by rul blug
around it.
SURE CUKE FOR CORNS. —Crystalized
carbolic acid, applied two or three
times a day with the cork of the bottle,
will remove the pain at once and the
corn In a few weeks.
FOR soft corns dip a piece of linen
cloth in turpentine and wrap it round
the toe on which the corn is situated,
night and morning. The relict will he
immediate, and, after a few days, the
corn will disappear.
MUTTON OR LAMB CHOP. —Mutton or
lamb chops are cooked and served the
same way as beefsteak, only first trim
ming off* all the fat. 11' the patient
cannot eat them rare, have the steak
and chops cut rather thin.
D. G. OWENS, Druggist, Altoona, Fa.,
writes: ''Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup has a
wonderful reputation, the demand for
it is really astonishing. Mothers will
have no other, it is destined to super
sede all other Soothing Syrups
TEA leaves, used lor keeping down
thfj dust when sweeping carpets, are
apt to stain light colors; salt is the best
in the winter and new mown hay in
the summer.
BUTTERMILK is excellent for cleaning
sponges. Ste?p the sponge in the milk
lor some hours, then squcze it out and
was! it in cold water. Lemon juice is
also goo l.
To DRIVE AWAY FLEAS.— Pour coal
oil upon any animal (hogs and dogs)
upon which fleas breed, and all vermin
will soon disappear. If vermin are
upon cattle, dip the card on coal oil
and curry.
VINEGAR WHEY.—B< IL cne cup of
milk, and stir In one tablespoonful of
vinegar. If this does not make It whey,
stir in a little more; when it curdles,
strain.
SOUR-MILK WHEY. —To one cup of
boiling sweet milk, add one cup of sour
milk, and strain.

A r a railroad station two young men

"You Insolent creatures," cries the

"LEAP year gives young ladles a

at the gentleman as they pass by, but
also squirts tobacco juice on their coat

Blag8 lag power that clearly discerns Dirxcr and sup

not only commands our respect but deserves
our gratitude. Dr. Railway has furnished man'

pushes this result, and suffering gnmanlty,
who drag out an existence or pain end disease,
through long days and long nights, owe him

FALSE AND TRUE.
We extract from Dr. Radway* "Treatise ot
disease and Its Cure." as follows;
List ef Diseases Cared by
Eaflwsy's Sarsaparillian RosolmL
Chronle Skia Diseases. Carles of the Bone.
Humors in the Blood. Scrofulous Dlse sea. Bad
or unnatural Habit of Body, Sjrpbllls and Vene
real, Fever Sores. Chronic or old Ulcers.Salt
Bbeum, Rickets, White swelling, Seal t Head,
Uterine Affections, Cankers, Glaaeuiar Swell
ings, Nodes. Wasting and Decny of the Body.
Pimples <nd niotches Tumors, Dyspepsia. Kid
ney ad Bladder Diseases, chronic Rh umatlsm
and Gout, Consumption, Gravel and calculous
Deposits, and varieties of ihe above complaints
to which sometimes are given specious names.
We assert that there Is no known remedy that
poeaeeoee the curative power over these dis
eases tb t HAD WAT'B RKSOLVXNT furnishes. It
curea, step by step, surely, from the founda
tion, and rartores the Injured parts to their
sound condition. The waaten of tbo body
ore stopped anil bMlthy blood Is •■P
pl led to the system, from which new ma
terial 1 formed. Tuts is the fl-ist corrective
power of HADWAV's RKSOI.VKNT. In eases where
the sy. -tern has been eallvated and Mercury,
Quicksilver, Corrosive Sublimate have accumu
lated and become deposited In the bones. Joints,
etc.. causing carles or the bones, rickets, spinal
curvatures, contortions, white swellings vari
cose reins, etc.. the SARSATAEILUAN will resolve
away those deposits an i exterminate the virus
of the disease from the system.
If those who ore taking these medicines for
the cure of Chronic, scrofulous or Syphilitic dis
eases. however slow may hi the cure, "isel bet
ter " Ana And their general health Improvfhg,
their flesh and weight increasing, or even keep
ing Its own, la a sure sign that the cure Is pro
gressing. In these diseases the patient either
Pts better or worse—the virus of the disease
not inactive; if not arrested and driven tro*|
the blood It will spread and continue to undo
mine the constitution. As soon as the BASS*
p AHLJUA n makes the patient ' feel beiter," every
hour you will grow better and Increase in health,
strength and flesh.
