A Honest Man.
A gentleman stopped his horse at a
tollgate, and not seeing the gate-keeper,
went into the house. Finding no one,
he began a general search and finally
discovered the gate-keeper out in the
field at work. Although the old man
was quite a distance away, the gentle
man went into the field, approached
the old man and said:
"You are the tollgate keeper, I be
lieve."
"Yes, sir," the man replied, turn
ing and leaning on his hoe handle.
"Well, I want to go through the
gate."
"Ain't the gate open?"
"Yes."
"Well, why don't you go through:
It's my business to be there."
"Because I w r anted to pay you."
"And you came all the way out here
to pay me five cents?"
"Yes, sir," said the gentleman, proud
ly looking the old man in the eye.
"Couldn't you have left the money
on the table?"
"Yes, but I wanted you to know
that I paid you."
"You are an honest man."
"Yes, sir," replied the gentleman
while a pleased expression spread over
his face.
"You would have walked three times
as far to have paid me that five cents,
wouldn't you V"
"Yes, sir, I would."
"Here, Johu," the old man called to
a boy that lay in the shade, "call the

An Unsophisticated Way.
Any Esquimaux asked to undertake a
journey or perform a labor he does
not like does not declare that he is not
at home, but he has a precisely similar
formality adapted to his own circum
stances. He does not like to tell the
stranger proposing to him that he does
not wish to go, or that the pay is not
sufficient, or, in short, that he will not
go; but he says, "I have no boots."
This is not to be accepted as a bint that
a pair of boots would be an acceptable
present; it is merely a polite refusal,
and in strict politeness must be ac
cepted as unhesitatingly as our own
"Not at home."
FOR THE FARM AM) HOME.
Hot Dal It I.ir Insects.
A German method for destroying
thrips and red spiders is to have a large
vessel filled with clean hot water at a
temperature of 133 degrees. The in
fested plants are dipped into the water
for the space of four seconds when
the insects will be killed, and no
damage result to the plants; it is best
not to continue the immersion longer
than the time noted. If afterwards a
few insects appear that have developed
since the operation, it may be repeated.
The temperature of the water should
be watched and not allowed to fall
below 122 degrees. It is said that
even young shoots and flower buds
will not suffer in the least from this
treatment.— Vick.
now to Feed Meal to Cowi.
It is a matter of some importance,
says a writer in the New England
Farmer, how meal is fed to cows.
Owing to the peculiar structure of the
cow's digestive organs, when meal is
fed alone, instead of going into the
first stomach where the hay goes and
remaining until it is remasticated, it
goes directly to the third and thence to
the fourth stomach. The consequence
is that the meal is not subjected to the
softening process which the hay
undergoes, and which would render it
more easily digestible. Where consid
erable meal is fed a portion of it is
liable to be imperfectly digested and
thus occa r ions loss. By wetting the
meal and nay and mixing them together
before feeding, the meal will be eaten
along with the hay and will be sub
jected to the whole digestive process.
It is believed that by thus feeding the
cows, more meal can be digested with
out disturbance of the digestive organs,
and, consequently more milk obtained
than by feeding the milk separately.
This is a matter worthy the considera
tion of those who fqed dairy cows.
How Batter May be Spoiled.
Good butter may be spoiled in
churning. Over-churning ruins the
texture and changes the proper waxi
ness to a disagreeable, sickly greasi
ness. This is the more easily done in
a churn with dashes, which press the
butter against the sides of the churn
and squeeze and rub it until it is
spoiled. Too long churning spoils the
quality by the oxidation of the butter,
and the premature formation of strong
flavored acids in it, the full presence of
which we call rancidity. It may be
spoiled at too high a temperature, by
which it is made soft and oily and of
greasy texture and flavor. No subse
quent treatment can remedy this error.
It may be spoiled before the cream
reaches the churn by keeping it long,
or, what is practically the same, by
keeping it in too warm a place; 50 de
grees is about the right temperature if
the cream is kept a week; if it is kept
at 62 degrees three days is long
enough. White specks are produced
in butter by overclaiming or by having
the cream too sour. Either of these
falts produces curd in the milk, and
the small flakes of this cannot be
washed out of the butter. So will the
use of salt containing specks of lime
which unite with the butter and form
insoluble lime soap. White specks are
covered up to a large extent by using
goud coloring, which is made of oil as
the solvent. But this use of coloring
being used to disguise a fault and to
add an undeserved virtue is worthy
of denunciation.— American Dairy
man.
BiKidlni: and Urafllng
An address read by A. F. Barron
before the North of Scotland horticul
tural society, is published in the
London Garden, occupying several
columns. It contains a statement of
many interesting facts, but some of its
statements, not being of universal
application, may be modified. One of
these is that "in strong calcareohssoils
dwarf stocks for fruit trees do not
succeed." In this country we have
never had better success with dwarfs
than on strong calcareous soils, good
cultivation being given. Another is
that "peaches worked on the plum are
far more hardy and vigorous." We
find otherwise. They grow slower on
the plum, and so far as this retarded
growth exists, with its earlier ripening
of wood, the trees arc slightly hardier,
precisely the same as when the growth
is reduced on poor soils or in unculti
vated ground. Again, "a pear may bo
grafted on the apple, but does not live
beyond a year or so." Some pears will
live for several years; we have seen
the old summer Bonchretien some
twelve years or more grafted on a
Spitzenburg apple, bearing well, and
some other sorts several years. The
same writer further states that a
gardener grafted a certain pear on a
common hawthorn, and "the fruit was
very similar to haws." Obviously, he
mistook a shoot closely below the point
of union for one above it; or else in
serted by mistake one of the shoots he
had just trimmed from the hawthorn.
We have known both these mistakes
committed by men usually careful.—

A New Use for Sawdust.
A writer to the Home and Farm,
Kentucky, makes mention of the use
of sawdust in planting potatoes, and
asserts that the product where sawdust
was used was twice as great as where
none was used, and larger and
smoother. It was not stated whether
the sawdust was used as an absorbent,
was mixed with manure, or was usd
as it originally eame lrom the raw,
which would make considerahlc diU'c:'-
ence. Neither was it stated how much
was used in the hill, nor whether tho
sawdust was from hard or soft wood,
all of which are very important con
siderations. But it is hardly probable
that this article in its native state will
be used very extensively as a fertilizer
v *
until more is known about it, although
if as stated, the yield of potatoes can
be doubled by its use, at tho present
time, when there are so many portable
mills at work in the general destruc
tion of the forests of New England,
and sawdust is accumulating in quan
tities, if it can bo utilized as profita
bly, it certainly should be done.
Within a few years farmers in
Columbia, Ct., have been in the
habit of carting from a permanent
saw-mill the sawdust that accumu
lated. using it as an absorbent and for
bedding purposes, but no claim has
ever been nuvde, nor has it been sug
gested, that of itself it possessed any
agricultural value further than its
absorptive power, but that it exerted
a remarkably beneficial mechanical
effect upon the manure with which it
was incorporated, so that it very much
aided its disintegration or pulveriza
tion, a thing that is always desirable.
Sawdust is a substance that is useful
to the farmer in the otlice it performs
as an absorbent and disintegrator, and
also in the use that is so satisfactorily
made of it for packing around the ice
of an ice house,but its further use ha*
not yet been satisfactory proved.
Taking Tea with the Jniiauese.
Says a traveler: "The great peculiar
ity of this tea drinking ceremony con
sists in the exactness with which every
thing is done. A spoon, cup, or what
ever is handled, luis to be taken hold of
in a particular way, set down in a par
ticular place, and touched in a particu
lar part, and everything is done with
the same strange precision. What I
saw was part of the ceremony of 'thin
tea drinking,' and part of the ceremony
of 'thick tea-drinking,' but the whole
is simply a lesson in those laws of
politeness which were formerly so
rigidly exacted in every mansion and
on every state occasion; and which
are still largely kept up in the houses
of the old aristocracy. Originally, the
ceremony was of a secret character, and
no servant entered the house in which
it took place—the master kindling the
fire, boiling the water, making the tea,
and, in short, doing everything for the
guests; but in later years it has become
a mere ceremony of an extremely fash
ionable character. One or two things
in this service struck me as especially
strange. Thus, both host and guests
knelt from the time they entered the
building till the time they left it; and
even when the master had to go to a
little back room to fetch water, cups
or whatever else he might require, he
shuflled on his kness to the slide which
served as a door, and then, having
opened it, shuflled through the opening
till he was well on the other side, when
he rose to his feet; but this he must
not do while in the presence of his
guests. The chief guest, moreover, is
the spokesman for the company, and
no word is uttered save by the chief
guest or host during the service, be it
ever so long. The chief guest also de
mands everything--thus he asks for
tea and refreshments; but the particn.
lar moment at which each request has
to be made is arranged by the code of
etiquette. At opportune moments the
chief guest also asks if he may look at
the tea-caddy, a spoon, a bowl, or the tea
pot. Receiving the necessary permis
sion, he shuffles on his knees to the
place where the object demanded is,
takes it, bows his forehead to the
ground, then rising, touches his fore
head with the object received, and
begins to examine it. Looking at the
tea-pot, he asks if it is silver; then,
who made it; then opening it and
smelling the tea, what tea costs per
pound; after which inquiries he passes
it to the next guest, and makes a re
mark to the host which should, if pos
sible, be at the same time a compli
ment and a pun. After each guest has
duly inspected the object, the chief
guest shuffles again across the floor,
and returns it to its place. Object
after object is brought, examined and
returned in the same manner."
Prophecies for the Credulous
Hardly had people recovered from
tho nerve-shattering soothsaying of
Mother Shipton when the weird words
of wind-coinpelling Wiggins is well
rubbed from recollection, two ancient
prophecies have been unearthed for
the present year. One is from the
writings of Nostradamus, a French
astrologer of the sixteenth century,
which may he thus rendered ;
• In eighteen hundred and eihfy-tliree,
When woocL in vernal green shall be,
Aainst misfortune and mischance
A lame limn B' mil protect our France."
The Comte de Cliambord is lame,
and may be taken to represent the
"boiteaux" or "boiteux."
The second blood-curdler is:
"When E ister falls in our Lady's lap
To t-hall come a great mishap."
Now, Easter Sunday this year fell,
for the first time in about a hundred
years, on "Lady Day," March 15.
We now manufacture another
prophecy :
When in one w* e'< fall Sundays two,
Prophetic divines chance come true.

along tlio towputh until it was dark. While
doing so, he heard piteous cries issuing from
the door of a hovel near by, and uncon

a poor fsinily consisting of a mother sur
round d by several children, who told him
of their suflerings for food. He took from
his pocket his wallet <tnd handed it to the

would not need it. The grateful thanks and

of Rtiih a pleasurable character, that he
changed his buicidnl intent, and decided to

Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
'1 his remedy is a medicine, not a beverage,
and is to be taken according to full and per
fe.tly plain d.rectious accompanying each
bottle. It is specific, but not a patent med
icine. and contains 110 vile narcotics or viler
liquor. It is a prescription used for years
by the well-known physician, Dr. K. V.
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., whoße name is a
household word in innumerable homes all
over our own and foreign lands. The
Golden Med.cai D.scovery is prepared and
ofle.ed to the public by the World's Dis|en
sary Medical Association, a body oorj o ate,
existing by and under the laws of the Stale
of New York: its president is I)r. Pierce, the
great specialist in chronic d -eases. The
doctor has devoted the best years of a very
busy and wonderfully successful life to the
relief and cure 1 f his suffering fellow men—
and at a time w hen high |>olitical honors 1 ly
broadly open before him, Dr. Pier e re
signed hie seat in the Congress of the United
States, simply from a sen-e of duty toward
others. His associates in the great snnatar
ium represented to the doctor that the im
mense business of their association de
manded thai his personal attention should t>e
paid to the great army of patients crowding
upou them from every clime. Dr. Pierce is
nlso the founder of the Invalids' Ho:el at
Buffalo, N. Y. This establishment, possess
ing all the comforts and luxuries of a first
class American hotel, la- in ad lition the
daily attendance of a large faculty of emi
nent specialists, whose j ra -tico colleo i e y
cover the whole field of surgery and chrouic
diseases. The laboratoiy in which Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is pre
l are 1 is an object of interest and wonder.
It has a frontage of one hundred feet, a depth
of one hundre l and twenty-fi\e leet, and is
six stories high. In thi mammoth and pa
latial workshop two hundred persons are
constantly employed in putting up Dr.
Pierce's Medicines.
While the Golden Medical Discovery's
curative efiectsare almost immediately felt,
it is not merely a temi>oiary stimulant, but
is ns certainly a safe and complete cure, in
all ases for which it is recommended, as it
is that certain misery and death will follow
their neglect. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery will not cure club feet, will not
refurnish armless or legless unfortunates
with new and perfect limbs, and it is not
guaranteed that even a dozen bottles applied
to an > stray portion of a second hand skele
ton, will develop such member into an ani
mate, human form divine (?). In brief, it
is not asserted that this medicine will, or can,
counteract tl.e decrees of Providence. Bui
in nil cases where a high state o civilization
and cultivation has engendered disease and
suffering, whereby God's natural man has
become a nervous, artificial bein the Gold
en Medical Discovery will positively restore
to him the strong, vigorous, self asserting
life, from which, alruorv unconsciously, he
had drifted far. aod perhaps hopelessly away.
It is claimed, and guar; need, if this medi
cine 1 e used as prescrioed, and faithfully
persevered in a reasonable time, it trill jter
mntnrntly cure liver comiffaint, and the var
ious blood disorders consequent upon torpor
of the liver, in all their various forms and
ramifications, including bronchitis, con
sumption, which is scrofula of the lungs,
dyspepsia, costiveness, sick-headache, skin
diseases, fever and ague, m. laria, and other
disorders nr.sing from poisoned or deterior
ated blood.
This wonderful medicine cures all IHI mors,
from the worst scrofula to a common blotch,
pimple or eruption. Erysipelas, salt rheum,
fever sores, scaly or rough sk n, in short, all
diseases caused by bad blood, are conquered
by this powerful, purifying and invigorating
medicine. Great eating ulcers rap d'y heal
under its benign intluences. Especial'}' has
it manifested its jiolency in curing tetter,
boils, carbuncles, scrofulous soies and
wellit gi, whi e swellings, goitre or th o'<£
neck, and enlarged glands. Consump ion,
which is scrofulous d sease of the lungs, is
promptly and positively arrcs ed and cured
by tins sovereign and God-given remedy, if
taken before the last stages are reached.
For weak lungs, spitting of blood, con
sumptive night-sweats, and kindred affec
tions, it is a sovereign remedy. For indi
gestion, dyspepsia and torpid liver, or "bil
iousness," Golden Med eal Liscovery has no
equal, rs it etfects ierfect and radical cures.
To ill suffering from lassitude, weariness,
despondency, lack of vigor or ambition, be it
man, woman or child. Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery will apeeJily impart new
tone, vigor and life to the whole system.
Ihe nnggard face will grow round, ruddy,
and 1 earn with the expression of long lost con
fidence. The step will be tirm and elastic,
and the relieved sufferer will once more eujoy
in common with fellow men that feeling of
I roprietorship in earth, air and being, only
fully realized by those in perfect health.
The Golden Medical Discovery will not
make drunkards or opium eaters; on tie
contrary, any unfortunate, diiven by tro ble,
ad ersityor inherited appetite, to the use of
Insidious stimulants, will find the Discovery
of great assistance in efforts to break the
chains bii.diug him to a shameful and initer-
Hble existence.
Those feelin? only "out of sorts," with no
[>redominnnt symptoms, and who, if asked,
would find it difficult to explain their sensa
tions, will find a sovereign remedy in the
Golden Medical Discovery.
Those who are irritable, petulant, or fret
ful, ever seeing the gloomy side of life; who
imagine "the time is out of joint;" to whom
life is a heavy burdtn, not a blessing: who
think the whole worid is arrayed a ,'auist
them, and anticiuate calamity at every turn;
to ail such let this message be full of en
couragement and joy—Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery will radically cure them,
when it will be found, to their lasting benefit,
that lilt and the world ba/e no- changed,
but that disease had thrown clouds of misery
and woe about them, through which all
things were seen, as "through a glass
darkly."
Let no sufferer be discouraged because he
or she has tried other medicines without
benefit. In fact, these are the cases the
World's Dispell wiry Medical Aeodatioa
pariicularly desire to reach through their
Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
H'/icn all other medicines fail let this be tried,
an I no one will be doomed to further disap
pointment.
The Golden Medical Discovery is a pre
scription of a physician with a wide-awake
reputation and an honorable position to
maintain. It is far beneath the dignity of
l)r. Tieioe to lend his name to any vile nos
trum, or catch-penny preparation, whereby
tho public may be deceived, flaring used
his Discovery for ninny years in his un
precedented private practice, he is oonvinced
it is indeed a specific in diseases mentioned.
Desiring (his marvelous cure shall benefit
not only those with whom he comes person
ally in contact, but that all mankind may be
eiiibruceu in his grind plan for the ameliora
tion of human suilering, the doctor, through
the World's Dispensary Medical Association,
earnestly and mo t confidently recommends
his G ld< n Medical Discovery to the pnblio
at large, assured the most t-keptical will be
thoroughly convinced of its worth by a trial
of a smgie bott e.
In stubborn, or long-seated affections, and
where the bowels are very ooative, the gentle,
though certain action of the Discoiery, will
be in >re rapid and satisfactory by supplement
ing Dr. T.eroe's Pieasnnt Purgative Pellets
in email daily doses of one or two. These
pills (the original end only genuine Little
Liver Pills) are purely vegetable, sugar
coated, and very small, yet by the peculiar
process used in their preparation, they pos
sess the strength and virtue of larger and
unpalatable puis. Pleasant Purgative
Pellets will speedily remove all ill and dis
agreeable efleets ar sing from over-eating or
drinking, and are recommended as a ca
tion tie at all times, being perfectly safe, sure
and unattended by the griping pains usually
evpei en ed in the use of purgatives lees
carefuny prepared. Promptly resorted to,
these lit'tlo Pellets will rsdioally cure indi
gestion, biliousness and sick-headache, thus
saving the patient from serious and lingering
disorders. Dr. Pierce, the President of the
World's Dispensary, and his faculty of
twehe skilled specialists, can be consulted
by letter or in peison in atiy case ol chronic
disease r quiring either medical or surgioal
treatment free of charge. For those desiring
more exhaustive information than can his
imparted through Oorrespondenoe, the doctor
has written a book, ca led "The People's

English; or. Medicine Simplified."
'1 his work alone is a good y harvest for an

Editor of Bor'rm Tlrrald :
DKAB SIB— During ray term of service in (BE Interns!
K venue Department of the United States, at the time
my office wee in this city, I was afflicted with a severe
attack of kidney disease, and at tines en ffered intensely.
I received the medical advice of some of oar best physk
rians for a lon* time, without being benefited by tlierr
prescriptions. Being discouraged by the failure of the
<t>>ctors to help me, snd being urged to ase Hant'e
Remedy by s friend who bad tested its m-rits, although
reluctant to try a patent medicine, I was finally induced
to try the Remedy, snd procured two bottles of it, end
commenced taking it faithfully according to the dlreo
t ins. Before I had taken it three days the excruciating
pains in my back had disappeared, and before 1 had used
two bottles I was entirely cured. Whenevi r, from over
exertion or a violent cold, the pains hi my kidney* return,
a few doeee of Hunt's Remedy quickly effects s curs.
Before closing 1 beg to mention the remarkable evrs
of a friend of mine in New YArk City, to whom I rsoom
mended this valuable modi sine. He was suffering
severely from an attack which was pronounced by bis
physician s decided esse of Bright's Disease of ths Kid
neys. I obtained two bottles of Hani's Remedy fa*
him. and he commenced taking it. and began to improve
at ono. and waa speedily restored to health, aad he
attributes the saving of his life, under the blessing of s
merciful Providence, to Hunt's Remedy.
Another friend of mine in New York, to whom I reoom
mended Hunt's Remedy, was suffering severely tram
kidney disease, and was entirely cured of it after using
this wonderful medicine only s short period.
Feeling deeply grateful for the great benefits experi
enced by my friends and myself from the use of Hunt's
Remedy, I feel it to be my duty, as well as a great privi
lege, to furnish you this voluntary and unsolicited state
ment of facta for the information of your large number
of readers, many of whom are undoubtedly suffering
from this widely-spreading scourge, and 1 believe that it
is the tx St medicine now known, and that it will cars all
cases of kidney diseases that can be cured.
1 shall be pleased to center with any one who msy
desire an interview regarding the statements herein
oontained. Truly yours,
BICHMOM) lIENBUAW. 90 Meeser Street.

D. R. Locke, Petroleum V. Nasby (Editor "Toledo
Blade") writes:
1 had on a forefinger of my right hand on# of thorn
pets, s "run-round." The finger became inflamed to
a degree unbearable and swollen to nearly twice its nat
ural sice. A friend gave as Henry's Carbolic Salve,
and in twenty minutes ths pain had so much subsided
as to give me a fair night's rest, which I had sot had be
fore for a week. The inflammation left the finger tn a
day. I consider it a most valuable article for the house
hold. Edouard Reintard. of New York, writes:
It gives me great pleasure to say that a single box of
Henry's Carbolio Salve effected a complete cure of Piles
with which I had been troubled for over a year, and
which nothing else that I used would ours.
II FORESIGHT
Were *1 good as hind sight how much trouble we poor
misers'*e sinners would escape! W. H- Casey, of

1 was sick with a terrible cold and cough all last, winter
and got no relief until ho commenced taking New Life,
1 the Gre.it Cough Remedy- The same medicine also
i cured Mr- Casey's neighbor.
