Here is another excellent
reason why every one wishes to

wet world without any protec-

"Whenever you see the flagstono
pavements drying off about the
edges of tho flags, you may be
sure that the rain will either
clear away or be nothing more
than showers, and it you get up
early in the morning and find
those flagstones wet with dew,

whom they haye picked out as
their nrcv. There are two of
them traveling together. They
introduce themselves as "Dr.
Henry" or some other name, "o:

their presence by saying that the

ascertain belorehand, sent them
to examine the eyes of their in

succeeds they ask as large a price
for a pretended cure as they tliink

The discovery by tlio Inhabitants of a

scourgo of fever and aguo, that It exists In

Such discoveries aro inado at every season,
In ovcry part of thq Union. Subsequently,
when It Is ascertained, as It Invariable ex
pcrlcnco of some one who lias been beno
fitted nnd cured, that Hostottcr's Stomach
Bitters Is a thornghly efficacious cradicator
of tlio marlartal poison, and a means of
fortifying tho system against it, a feeling
of moro security and and tranquillity resigns
throughout tho whole neighborhood. Uo-

If any ono In the world has a right to
have cholco berries, vegetables or fruit up

Is generally why many do not possess these
requisites. They aro cheaper, far better

bacon and coarso diet too often found
upon the tables of tho tillers cf the

Ticet Salad: Placo boiled beets In

then slice and cover with following dress
ing: Two quart bowl of sliced beets, three
tablespoons melted butter, salt, pepppr and

seven tablespoons of vinegar. Cover bowl

It will cost but little to keep tho surS
ace of tho ground around young trees well

will ayold tlio lime, and on some soils the
llmo will provo beneficial. An excellent
mixture for such purposes is two parts
wood allies, ono part limo and ono part
lime and ono part coarso salt. Only
small quantity need bo used at each appli

For putting up fruit a porcclalnllncd
kettle holds tho first placo with most house
wives, but good agate or granite ware, and
even a brass kettle, scoured very clean and
brightened, are used. A wooden or silver
spoon for stirring Is much better than an
iron one. Many pcopla use splf-seallng
jars as a matter of economy, because less
sugar Is required to keep tho fruit In
them.

It is imprudent to leave it sitting in an

Tea made with sucli water can be delected

that drinking water should bn fresh from
the well or spiing. When it has to be kept
any length ot time, as oyer night, It should

It will bo found upon trial that tho
soaking of corn to bo fed to working stock
especially old horses or mules, will be
attended with good results. Indeed It Is
not unwise to soak corn fornll work stock
after ho weather has set In. - At this time
corn, especially flinty varieties, becomes
very hard, and is, therefore- not easy of
mastication, By soaking the corn in
water, even for the space of six hours,
becomes softer and easier of digestion. Or
a day's supply can be put into tho soaking
tub every night, and a handful of salt
thrown Into tho water with it does
good.
