Thumps in n Horse.
Thumps is excessive action of the
heart, commonly called palpitation of
that organ. It may be due to nervous
disorder, functional diseaso of the
heart, indigestion, pressure of the col
lar, overwork, and pulmonary disease.
It is most often due to disease of the
heart itself, and while it may not be
curable, yet it may be much relieved In
proper treatment. If the disorder
conies on suddenly and has intermis
sions it is functional in its character
ami tonics are to bo used. Give a
table-spoonful daily of Peruvian bark
powdered, with one dram of carbon
ate of iron, and feed the very best of
food. If it is constantly occurring
and changing from bad to worse at in
tervals and there is swelling of the
limbs, the disorder is nervous or struc
tural, and sedatives must be given, as
15 grains of digitalis daily, and all ex
citing causes must be avoided,— AVir
York Times.
Souring Milk,
Pure, wholesome milk kept in a
clean cellar or milk house, w here the
temperature is not over seventy de
grees. will keep sweet for thirty-six
hours, and will not become thick under
forty-eight hours. Otherwise some
thing is wrong with the cows. A cow*
exposed to the hot sun in a pasture, or
having impure water to drink, cannot
be in. a healthy condition, and the first
appearance of trouble will be the pre
mature souring of the milk. If the
pans* are not perfectly well washed
and the smallest particles of sour milk
left about them, the milk will not
keep sweet more than twelve hours or
so. Again, the first indication of
tuberculosis of the lungs in the cow is
rapid thickening and souring of the
milk. If milk kept as above stated is
not sweet in a day and a half, and is
thick before two days, something is
wrong in one or other of the ways
mentioned.
Manuring Trees.
The Germantown Telegraph says:
AVe notice frequently outlandish re
commendations, agriculturally and
hcrticulturally, which must lead to
failure and discouragement. AVe have
now before us one of these for stimu
lating the growth of trees by boring
holes in the ground and pouring in
liquid manure about the roots! How
the roots are generally to be got at in
this way we cannot see. AYhat better
can be desired than applying the same
liquid uniformly over the ground and
let it soak in? If the surface is very
hard it should be loosened, or, what we
contend is still better, top dress the
surface as far as the branches extend
with good manure, and the substance
will soon find its way uniformly to the
roots with the assistance of rains.
Our own judgment and practice have
always been to treat the soil in which
the trees, fruit and ornamental, grow,
as far as can be done, the same as soil
that is cultivated for vegetables or gen
eral farm crops, and we have always
been satisfied with the result. As
some evidence of the effect of such
application we will mention this in
stance: Some years ago a hemlock
spruce had a rusty appearance and at
last fell much behind the others in
depth of color. It was about twelve
feet in higlit and must have been set
out at a spot where the soil was not
affluent as that where others were
planted. At any rate, two wheelbar
row loads of good manure, spread out
as far as the extremity of the branches,
restored it perfectly the drst year, and
it w*as among one of our handsomest
trees.
Decency In the Dairy.
The following account, from the
Taii-y, of an lowa farmer's clean and
careful method of milking, is in agree
able contrast to the slovenly practice
of many keepers of cows. If his con
scientious and wholesome plan could
be generally adopted it would result to
the credit of agriculture, in the im
provement of quality of dairy pro
ducts. After a remark about the ap
plication of the Golden Rule to dairy
ing, the writer referred to says: "At
5 o'clock I am in the cow stables. The
feed prepared the night before is put
into the feed boxes, which are first
cleared out of all remnants of former
feed, and, if sour, they are scoured out
with water and a broom. AVhile the
cows are eating, they are thoroughly
carded and brushed, as well as any
well-kept horse is—and all over, from
head to switch. The udder is sponged
if necessary, and wiped with a clean
towel, and not a dirty rag. The gut
ters are then cleaned out, and the
stalls; a common road broom being
used, to finish after a broad scraper,
which draws the manure down to the
trap doors and into the cellar. The
floor and gutter are then littered well
with sawdust, when we have no straw.
For fifteen cows this takes an hour.
Then Igo to breakfast. At half-past
6 the cows are milked, and each milk
er has overalls and an apron made of
striped ticking, with which he can
milk in his Sunday clothes, if he likes;
and any lady may go in with a silk
dress on and not hurt it. As the milk
is drawn it is strained at once into the
deep pails which stand on the platform
and are kept covered; the milk pails
have strainers and a double strainer is
kept in the deep cans, so that the milk
goes through three strainers. But this
is pot really necessary, as I would
cheerfully drink a glass of the milk j
direct from the cow as I milk it. But i
out of consideration for my customers
who buy my butter and milk, I put the j
milk through three strainCTS; As soon
as the deep pails are full, they are j
closed and carried to the milkv-houso •
and handed to the person who silts the j
milk in thapnol or the creamery, or, if
it is put into shallow pans, strains it
once more. Now, there is nothing
hard to do about this. It is so easy
after having begun it and got int'-o the
way of it, that it would bo hartl to
stop it. And 1 don't see how it is lasy
to be cleaner than we are in our dairy.
If you can show us away, we xvill
certainly walk in it."

Fore d Labor in Egypt.
The conditions of forced labor do I
not seem to differ much in the differ
ent parts of the country. Nowhere ;
do the laborers receive any pay or tVed I!
or shelter, while their treatment by
their task-masters would seem to be
simply brutal. Mr. Stuart describes j
the system as lie saw it in operation in
the province of lynch, in Upper
Egypt. A cut of about eighteen feet
in depth had to be made through a
conglomerate of sand and gravel; this
was flanked right and left by high em
bankments constructed of the material
taken from the trench, and along the
bottom and on the slope* "men
swarmed thickly, like bees on a honey
comb, for a distance of about a mile in
length." The entire strength of the
impressable labor in the province
amounting to about 40,000 nun. was
concentrated on this work.
The men toiled from sunrise U> sun
set, with the thermometer at de
grees in the shade, having only a brief
interval at midday for a meal of bread
soaked in unfiltered Nile water. This,
with a similar meal before beginnii\g
and after leaving off, constituted the
day's dietary. The laborers provided
their own baskets for carrying the ex
cavated soil, and their own tools, when
they used any, but most employed
their fingers. Overseers walked about,
among them armed with sticks, with
which they struck the men while they
were carrying loads upon their hoads,
often without any apparent reason. At
night they slept upon the ground al
most without clothing, and quite with
out shelter, though the air was often
very cold. Mr. Stuart has often seen
negro slaves at work in the cotton
plantations of Cuba, and tho con nets
at Portland, and both were to be en
vied, in his opinion, by the side of
these fellahs.— London Glol*.
Origin of Names of the Fabrics.
Everything connected with one's
business is of importance. Very few
dry-goods men know the origin of the
names of the goods they handle. They
inay seem trivial points, but they are
of interest to the man who seeks flo be
thoroughly familiar with the merchan
dise in which he deals. For the infor
mation of such we give the derivation
of the names of the following goods:
Damask is from the city of Damascus;
satins from Zaytown in China; calico
from Calicut, a town in India, formerly
celebrated for its cotton cloth, and
where calico was also printed. Muslin
is named from Mosul in Asia. Alpaca
is from an animal of Peru, of the llama
species, from whose wool the fabric is
woven. Buckram takes its name from
Bochara; fustian comes from Fostat, a
city of the middle ages, from which
the modern Cairo is descended. Taffe
ta and tabby from a street in Bagdad.
Cambric from Cambral. Gauze has
its name from Gaza; baize from Bajac;
dimity from Damietta, and jeans from
Jean. Drugget is derived from a city
in Ireland, Drugheka. Duck comes
from Torque, in Xormandy. Blanket
is called after Thomas Blanket, a fa
mous clothier connected with the in
troduction of woolens into England
about 1340. Serge derives its name
from Xerga, a Spanish name for a pe
culiar woolen blanket. Diaper is not
from D'Ypres, as is sometimes stated,
but from the Greek "diaspron," figur
ed. Velvet comes from the Italian
vellutf , wooly (Latin ttllus —a hide or
pelt). Shawl is from the Sanscrit sola,
floor, for shawls were first used as car
pets and tapestry. Bandanna is from
an Indian word, meaning to bind or
tie, because they are tied in knots be
fore dyeing. Chintz comes from the
Hindoo word "chett." Delaine is the
French "of wool."
The Longevity of Stones.
Dr. Julian of Columbia college,
comes to the following conclusions in
regard to the life of stones, defining
life as the period during which the
stone presented a decent appearance:
Coarse brownstone, best used out of
the sun, from 5 to 15 years; laminated
fine brownstone, from 25 to 50 years;
compact fine brownstone, from one to
two centuries; Xova Scotia stone will
probably last from 50 to 100 years;
Ohio sandstone, the best of the sand
stones, 100-years; Caen stone, from 35
to 40 years; coarse dolomite marble, 40
years; line marble, 60 years; pure cal
careous marble, from 50 to 100 years;
granite, from 75 to 200 years, accord
ing to variety; bluestone is as yet un
tried, but will prove a good building
material. Some of the causes that,
produce decay in stones are, first, solu
tions are hydrations of the stones and
heat of the sun.
The mammoth Russian variety of
sunflower is grown on some of the
AYestern cattle ranches to supply the
deficiency of wood for fuel.

A Matter-of-Fact Woman.
The following may be interesting to
business women who *ire afraid to
marry poor men:"! am milliner,a and I
have made between fifteen hundred and
twenty-five hundred dollars a year in
my business for some time past. I
married four yeais ago. My husband
is kind and good-looking, but he never
learned any trade, had 110 profession,
and could not average five hundred
dollars a year. 1 loved him, however,
but I saw that it would not do to
depend upon him, so I kept on with
my business. After a time I think lie
got a little lazy, and as we were both
away during the day we could not keep
house and got sick of boarding.
Finally I proposed that he should keep
house, ami 1 would run the business
and find the money. We have now
lived very happily this way for two
years. My husband gets up and builds
the fire, grts breakfast, and L leave
home a little before eight for mv place
of business, lie does the washing and
ironing, the cleaning, and 1 do not
know of any woman whoran beat him.
lie is as neat as wax, and can cook
equal to any one in town. I may be
an isolated ease, but I think the time
hss now come when women who have
husbands to support should make them
do the work, otherwise they are luxu
ries we must do without."

some of the secrets of hotel cooking,
lie says the head cook in making prep

the bones and fat off the meat. These
are all dumped into a kettle of water.
Everything in the way of meat is
thrown into this receptiele, and the
heterogeneous mass is boiled up as
soup tor dinner. .Say a gueot calls for
vermicelli soup. A ladleful is dipped
from this common kettle into a dish,
and a handful of vermicelli, taken from
a side table and dropped into it, gives
it at least the semblance of the kind
ordered. Say it is tomato soup. A
spoonful of cooked tomatoes thrown in
iu the same way will make the average
guest think he has received all lie has
ordered. So it is wnen beef soup,
ox-tall soup—in fact, all other soups
are made by this process out of this
kettle. Don't order soup.

BAD, BAD, BAD BLOOD.
Some blood is bad because it is poor and weak. Some is bad because
it contains impurities. Some men have such bad blood that the wonder is
it does not poison the mosquitoes who come to bite them.
The rich red color of good blood is owing to the iron which is present.
Blood which has not enough iron in it is always unsatisfactory. The per
son in whose veins it circulates cannot be said to enjoy good health.
The efforts of expert chemists to produce a preparation of iron which
can be assimilated with the blood have resulted in that perfect preparation
which is an important part of Brown's Iron Bitters. It is the only one
which freely enters into the blood. c It is the only one which accomplished
the desired good. .
Weak, poor, thin blood may be made rich and strong, and impure
blood may be purified by the use of that Great Iron Medicine rirn-r>c
Iron Bitters. - ' 3 ' - f *
