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.

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.

A Woman With an Odd Idea of Earning on

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

NEW ADVEItTISEMENTS.
THE OLD, OLD STORY.
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. I
hereby sign my name, FRED HAHN."
Please bear In mind that THESE SPECIAL
ISTS HAVE BUT ONE OFFICE, and which
is .PERMANENTLY LOCATED at 323 Penn
avenue.
Also please remember that this is tbe only
institution in Pittsburg where only Catarrh,
Dyspepsia and Diseases of Women are re
ceived for treatment, preferring to treat these
diseases successfully rather than attempt to
cure all diseases.
