PSwjffllJp 'Jk' Vt ISBB W EFFECT OF RAIN i It Comes Down So Incessantly Upon Farmer and Florist m IT IS DOING THIS SPRING. ITho lUInfall for May Far Exceeds It for That Month Last lear. rELAT TO TDK CHOPS UXATOIDAMjE ! r r "I think tho solar syitcm hM Hppcd a coc; the seasons don't como with the regu larity that characterized them la the good bld-dayi." Thlt was the rather novel com plaint made by oue man to another yciicr- lay afternoon, as they sought shelter from the storm iu the Municipal Hall portico. The weather has from time immemorial ,been a fruitful subject for conversation, but of late, like baseball, there has been so much of it of an inferior quality, that in terest in it has died out, aud the average citizrn bears the affliction with what patience he can mutter up. The ereat amount of moisture this spring lias caused many nervous anticipations of a disaster similar to the Johnstown flood, many forgetting that that was caused primarily by the breaking of a dam. Many persons, like the man who spoke as quoted above, are convinced that the seasons nave become mixed, while others attribute the heavy fulls of rain to the multiplicity of Spas, and the natural cussedness of the Sig nal Service. AN EXPERT OriNIOJT. Signal Service Observer O. D. Stewart, trho views the heavens from the eighth floor of the Schmidt & Friday building, is sup posed to know more about the weather than '. any other man in town. This is due both to his training and to the elevated position "he occupies. Mr. Stewart thinks the i'scasons are lollowing each other in proper succession, and points out thai in 1873, ClPCiriC WirCB. IIIC iuiiuuuuuuii ui ubiui.i be I ore natural gas had come into use, and when electric wires were few and Jar be tween, the rainfall exceeded last year's record of 41.37- inches. The average rain fall, however, is about 33 inches. During the month of May, 1889, which culminated in the Johnstown tragedy, 6.45 inches of rain fell. The rainfall up to 2 1'. M. yesterday exceeded that of the same num ber of days of May, 1889, by 9.25 inches. The prospects for still more rain are very good, and it is probable that the regulation June rise will be here on time, if not a few days ahead ot the schedule. Considerable complaint havincbeen made that farmers hereabouts arc unable to make headway on account of the wet weather, which is said to be causing seed to rot in the ground, inquiry was made yesterday at seed stores aud other places where grangers frequent, and replies elicited were mixed, Eonie thinking the situation as bad as re ported, while others thought there was con siderable salvage. FAVORABLE FOB SOME PLACES. J. W. Brown, who runs a garden farm on Seville Island, baid the weather was very favorable for setting out plants in gronnd that could be worked, but in heavy soils it was next to impossible to do anything. Mr. Brown said also that it is impossible to keep a force of bands necessary. Tifere are too many allurements in other directions. In answer to the question as to whether garden farming paid, he replied that it would do so were it not for the foreigners who compete. He says some of them grow fat on what an American farmer throws away and gives to his stock, and in consequence he is sooner or later run out, unless he can strike some specialty but little cultivated. Mr. Brown's specialty, or one of them, -is the Chinese cucumber. 1 J. V. Scott & Co. reported that while operations were backward they had not heard much complaint. Grass and some garden products are growing finely, but some corn planted is rotting instead ot sprouting. Scobie & Parker stated that they heard considerable complaint from farmers. John W. Scottj Jr., & Co. had heard con siderable complaint of seed rotting, and of derations being generally very backward, but grass is growing finely. HOW TO MAKE FABMIJfG PAT. A gentleman at the commission house of Ij. H. Voight & Co., stated that he didn't think the farmers were much more ruined than usual, and that with most of them such a state is chronic He suggested that if they were to combine more intelligence and stud v cith their business, they would thrive bet ter. He said they didn't study the market, and that the average business man would soon go to the wall if he did not give his business close study, and keep in stock what people wanted. He suggested that mixed larming in general, with some specialty in particular that was in good demand, would make money on almost anr farm convenient r'to a railway. It is a fact beyond dispute. that native larming within 20 miles of Pitts burg does not, as a rule, pay as it did once; uiii ii is uouduui wnemer jir. urowns ex planation will account for all failures. There are a vast nnmberof drawbacks, and sot the least among them is a deficiency of elbow create in the farmer and his family, to make operations pay as of yore. The aforementioned lubricant is as important as fertilizer, and there are many other draw backs. The farmer who is a worker frequently is a mere money grabber, and forgets that he once considered his progenitor a hard mas ter. Accordingly, he routs his sons and daughters out of bed in the early gray of the morning, and works them like slaves uutil twilight. Their apparel and pocket money are scant, and owing to railways, they see a decided contrast between themselves and t city lads and lasses, and soon begin to pine JCrrity Jite, wmen in tneir lervid imagina tions is, in comparison, a bed of roses, with theatricals, lectures, ice cream, etc., ad fcj xioitum. THEY DESERT THE FARSI. Accordingly, says Mr. K, "W. Jones, the boys, if cot trained for a profession or busi ness, desert the farm to become brakemen or street car drivers, or engage in some other occupation not a whit more profitable than farm work, but less laborious and lol lowed by quicker returns, and the old man is leltto the mercy of hired help, which, in this section, is very inferior on farms, as the mills pay more for muscular and intelligent laboring men than farmers feel able, though it would seem that steady employmenr,at 518 a month, u et and dry, with board and -washing, would be better than what the -average laborerjmakes in the mills. ,typewriter, clerk, dressmaker or milliner, than milk cows and marry farmers, raise lit tle farmers, etc. Anotherthing that injures .he average Allegheny county farmer is the extravagant expectation that he nurses of sometime being able to sell his land lor town lots. In anticipation, he neglects his farm, and will probably die without realizing his hope. Another of late years is the hope that oil aud gas developments will reach him, as coal did some years ago. Meantime, while awaiting the lightning stroke, he mortgages his farm not to improve it, but to live on 'the proceeds. There are many farms in this county now mortgaged that were le."t to the nominal owners unincumbered, by their parents, and in high condition. It is certainly true that the raising of staple crops, such as wheat and corn, will not pav here now. Competition with the i i"West is too sharp, and this market is not nearly so good as it was 4U years ago, out Jt is none the less true that the county is , dotted all over with knobs once fruitful, (which are now so poor that two intoxicated men could not raise a fight on them, and, Lmcanwhile. hundreds of tons of fertilizer are daily floating down the rivers, while tithe shirtless fanners deliver their scanty f- -j t i.i r- n 1.....1 crop iuu return iiume wjinoui a tun iuau. CAS'T LIVE SO CHEAPLT. -'It is true, the cost oi living is much greater than it was 30 to 40 yean aeo, and it hits the laborer and farmer alike. A laborer at that time could save more money on 51 a day than he now can on 1 CO, notwithstanding -that many necessaries of life are cheaper now than then. On the whole, it may be safely concluded that intelligent study of the markets, the application of manure, the study of soils and the use of agricultural machinery would make farming pay in any section of this county convenient to a railway station, but stuff cannot be delivered with profit on wagon roads where, during the time the markets aro good, 500 pounds is a largo load for a horse. The florists say the recent wet weather has been very unpropitions for their business. "While it has not affected the conservatory portion, tho open air branch has suffered sadly. It has delayed planting, retarded growth, and is in every way detrimental. FITTSUUliO -GETTING THERE. HOW OLD MONONQAHELA 18 PUSHED IN CHICAQO. BEINQ Oar Dl.clllrr.

N rrrxciAi. tixkhwm to tux dispatch. i Chicago, May 23. A very energetic at tempt is now being made by Pittsburg dis tillers to introduce and popularize Monon gahela rye whisky in Chicago. Heretofore corn whisky has been king, and Peoria and Indiana distilleries have supplied a great part oi the demand. In point of absolute merit the Monongahela article is believed to be far superior to its competitors, but up to this time it has not been very actively pushed; or rather the parties who under took tohandlc it sold cheaper, inferior goods as Pennsylvania whisky, and thus brought it into disrepute. Harry Alden, who used to be a conspicuous figure in Pittsburg, is the man who has now been selected to act a standard bearer for the Pittsburg distillers In great letters of gold the legend "Pitts burg Whisky" has been inscribed pn a big plate glass front on Clark street, and thither bibulously inclined former denizens of the Gas City resort to talk over old times. After an extended experience in New York Citr, and several months' trial of Chicago, Mr. Alden thinks that as a busi ness place Pittsburg is superior to either. Pittsburg whisky, he says, is slowly mak ing its way. JS'ot very long belore the Brooks law went into 'effect a similar at tempt was made by a couple of Chicago brewers to introduce their goods in Pitts burg, but that celebrated piece of legislation cut ofl their only means of reaching the public, inasmuch as they could not get licenses for the saloons through which it was to be sold, and one retired from the field with a loss ot $16,000, and another dropped double that amount. It is said that no Chicago brewer now veils goods in Pittsburg, tho field which used to be one of the richest in the country being abandoned to Milwaukee and Cincinnati brewers and those located in Pittsburg. KUTANNINffS NEW GAS PLANT. Lima Oil to bo U.ed for the Blannfactiire f Ulmnlniiting GaM, Kittanking, May 23. The new plant for the manufacture of gas from oil, which the Union Light and Heat Company, of Pittsburg, have been putting in here, is about completed and will be turned over to the company in a few days. By this system it is claimed gas can be manufactured at one-half the old way and is mneh better for illuminating purposes. The method is a very simple one, consisting of a feeder and a system ot retorts. These retorts are kept at a certain heat and the oil forced through them into a receiving tank filled with water "When the heated oil strikes the water it turns into gas and is conveyed from there to the supply tank ready for use. It is said that 4,000 ieet of gas can be manufactured from one barrel ot Lima oil. PACKED TO THE D00ES.

A Woman With an Odd Idea of Earning on Honest LlTlns". A young woman who gives the name of Mary Dickey has been victimizing a num ber of charitable people throughout the city by a pitiful tale, which was made doubly effective by her woe-begone appearance. How long she has been operating, or how many persons have been swindled, is not known, but ahalf dozen reports of her doings have been received at theofficoof tho Society for the Improvement of the Poor from persons who havo been asked for money, some of whom gave tho woman what she asked for. She made a point of asking people well known in charitable work, to whom she re lated, with many tears, how her mother, and in some places her mother and child, had died the night before, and begged tho loan of money, from 53 to 815, to bury the bodies.

SUPERFLUOUS HAIR On the Female Face $5,000 For Any Incurable Case Superfluous hair Is an oxccilvo growth ot hair on the femalo faco scon mostly on the upper Up, chin, cheeks, forehead, between tho eyebrows, the noso, oars, breast, hands and arms; also crows superfluous on men's cheoks abova tho board line. This obnoxious growth of hair Is surprisingly prevalent, Wo sco It wherever ladles congregate: at leasb35 of every 100 of onr ladios have inoro or less superfluous hair at some time during their llfo. Every lady with hair on her faco knows, to her sorrow, that tbo uso of depilatories, hot wax, the tweczors,-scissors and razors all make these hairs grow harsher, coarser, suffer, darkor aud moro numerous. There is positively only one method In tho world by which superfluous hair can be permanently destroyed, and that Is by tho ELEUTKIO NEEDLE OPERATION, This Is a purely scientific process, and Is In dorsed by all physicians and surgeons as being the only method by which the balr follicle can be destroyed so the hair can never grow again. In performing this oporatlon a dellcato instru ment is usod, almost as One as the hair Itself. This is painlessly Inserted Into the folllclo alongsldo of the hair nntll it reaches the little sack or papilla (from which the balr grows), then tho electric current is turned on and tho hair gorm Is destroyed, after which it is abso lutely an impossibility for another hair to grow again. Dr. Van Dyck, the celebrated surgeon of Philadelphia, is pleased to state that he devotes several hours dally to the permanent removal of superfluous balr "by the ELECTRIC NEEDLE OfERATION. Dr. Van Dyck whs the second physician In the world to perform this operation, and was tho first to inako a success of it. Ho has oper ated for 14 years, has treated hundred of cases and has acquired a national reputation as an expert in electro-surgery. The success of tbls operation Is a posltlvo certainty. The destruc tion of tho hair follicle Is no guess work, no ac cident, but a positive result of sclcn title skill achieved by years of experience. Dr. Van Dyck will give $5,000 for any case of superfluous hair in which be will fall to destroy every coarse hair forever, even If the patient has a regularly developed beard. Ho has cured cases In his Philadelphia office where he has perma nently destroyed as many as 20,000 hairs from ladies' faces. The above offer is genuine. Any physician, medical college, society or private parties can bring Dr. Van Dyck any case, no matter how bad, be will treat tbo case, charg ing a moderate fee for his services, and will guarantee to forfeit the sum of $3,000 in gold If no falls to destroy forever every coarse balr. Any physicians or committee of physicians can cxamino the case before treatment, during treatment, ono or five years after treatment. Dr. VanDvckls nleased to state that during his location in Pittsburg since last September ho has been honored bv tho patrouago of our most prominent families. Many of our most eminent physicians have sent members of their families to him for treatment. Now, ladies, if nature has unkindly provided you with hair on the face, Stop the use of de pilatories, plasters, blocks of wax, tho tweezers, scissors or razor at once, and consult Dr. Van Dck and have tbo hair destroyed forever. Remember this; the electric needle is the only method by which you can be cured, and unless you have the hairs destroyed by tbls method you will carry them to the grave with you. In order to place bis treatment within the means of every woman who has the least price, Dr Van Dyck will make special rates to all who consult him this and next month. Dr. Van Dyck also successfully treats moles, -warts, wens, cjsts, cancers, tumors, red nose, enlarged veins of the nose, elevated and dis colored scars, tattooing, powderand coal stains: also all itchy, pimply, crusty, scaly skin dis eases.

Almost dally our readers havo seen chron icled in the columns of this paper a detailed account of tho death of some ono they knew perhaps some lady who, in tho prime of life, young, vivacious and happy, was surrounded by frlonds and every luxury this llfo can afford. Sho may havo onco been regular at tendant at church, a leading light In society, a friend to tho poor; but in an uncautlous mo ment sho has taken cold, and how quickly this has fanned the flamo of a catarrhal poi son that has lain dormant In hor system for years. Tho rccult only too plainly shows. Her case progressed ranldly. and terminated as a I esses of catarrh & unless properly treated. In consumption orsomo other incurable- dls ease. According to tho mortuary reports, bun dredsof just such neglected casM of catarrh have rosulted In death in nttsburg during tho MnFred Hahn, a resident of Sharpsburg. and well known throughout Allegheny county and Western Pennsylvania, has for years been ft victim - of catarrh and dyspepsia. His stomach gavo him an endless amount of trouble. Ilo had belching of gas from h s stomach after eating, sour tasto, and often felt like vomiting bis Jood. His appetlto was poor, and as bis liver was much enlarged It gavo him great pain. In fact, he would often be taken with such sharp cramps and pain across his stomach and bowels it seemed as if ho could not live. Ho had palpitation of the heart, dizziness, weakness and pain across tho small of his back, and a numb, lifeless feeling in his limbs. Ho could get but little sloop, and as every change of weather gave him n cold, he took on a lingering cough. Ills breath became short and he felt pain and soreness in his lungs and under his shoulder blades. Night sweats weakened bira very fast, and be gradually grew worse until ho lost 30 pound ot flesh. -tfr. .FVed: Mann. Having a wifo and two small chil dren whom ho dearly loved, depend ing on him for a living, and hav ing spent all his money in doctoring to no avail, not being able to work, he became discouraged and disheartened, and often becamo so melan choly that he would feel tempted to jump Into the river and thus end bis suffer ing. One day he noticed in the paper an account of a patient who had been enred by the catarrh specialists at 823 Penn avenue of conditions that seemed similar to his own. He resolved to call on these special ists. He did so, and was told ho could yet bo cured. Although he had but little faith, he re solved to try once more, and after taking a course of treatment became cured. .He says: 'Tbe above history of my disease and euro is truo in every respect. I bad received treat ment from 2C. physicians, yet gradually grew worse, and for one year before beginning treat ment with these physicians I was scarcely able to uo any woric i nave now woricea nara for the past two months, feel welL and strong, and words do not express the joy I feel that my llfo has been spared and health restored.
