LINING DEATH.
A singular.and most repulsive case of
trichina, which is now exercising the phy
sicians of Highland, Ulster county, N.Y.,
is tints described by the Courier: "For
some time past a woman named Marshall
has been livinj in poverty in a hamlet
Called Brownsville, near the above villlge
It seems that of late all she bad in the
way of food was a limn of a poor quality,
and this she ate raw. A few days ago
she was taken ill -and a physician was
summoned, who fund her in a very low
ciindition. Worms were discovered -by
the physician crawling frpm her mouth,
note and ears, in , fact, as the physician
exPre'ssed it; 'she was literally alive with
wOnns: As a curiosity, some of the es
taped worms were tajteu to Iligbland
-where they- are uow, on exhibition. As
far as-we can learn, 'nothing of I the kind
was ever heard of before, and- if 'such is
the case, it will certainly command atten
tion and call for thorough investigation
at the hands of the l medical profussioz

McNett township, Lycoming County,

she was.s6t off from Mclntyre and assum

debt and has a surplus on hand of $712,06,

A short distance from Buena. Vista is a
cave
,inhabited by spiders which differ
froni otliet spiders in their emit-mous size,.
and arc-quite useful to the needy people
orthai it gion.• The cave was discovered
• last December by a party of sight-seers,'
and the spiders and their work were wit
nessed. On entering the cave one is first
struck by the funny looking webs. They,
are - worked like other yebs of spiders,
but every fibre is teii times as large as the
ones woven by Ordiary spiders. On pass
ing further into the cave the spiders' are
encountered. - They are about the size of
smalairds .and inake a strange sound
while weaving their Web. Their webs I
are so tdugh aud.the fibres so large that
it -is almost an' imp;issibil4 to break
down a Web.
,Some weeks ago while look
. lug at the cave a miner got to examining
the webs. Their strands were about the
'size of a No.- 12 thread, and he thought
, that they emildabe used for thread. liar
needle- in his possession he broke off
one of the strands and found twat it fitted
the needle. Sewing on a loose button to
'test the effieacy,,lle - found it as strong as
silk thread, and it answered his every
Purpose. , Since then the people have
Iloeked in and carried away hosts of the
webs, but the spiders do not appear to
- object in the least. There is some talk

Mrs. Deamer was thrown in spasms. The

the first effort on the part of the patient
was made to inhale the pure air, which

life of the woman.

RANSOM COTTAGE
With the Expansion Broiling Chamber,
SMYTH'S PATENT a DUPLEX GRATE
7ith or without Low Closet, Reservoir, or Ornamental Elevated Shelf.
The Greatest Conibination of Valuable Improvements Ever Presented
After the flattering experience of the past year, having ht , l a very large and extended sale. we
find that the THE RANSOM el/TTAIIL IA - universally conceded ti, be the most desirable Range of its
class In the market. Its' general features are the same as In the celebrated Ransom Range. which has
for years been - consttlered the finest Range made. It contains the Patent Expansion Broiling
Chamber, which Is universally acknowledged-to be the only sueeessrtil anti practical broiling attach
ment In use. It Is also furnished with Smylh's Patent Duple% Grate. This celebrated
Orate Is extremely simple in Its construction. It has Ytow been in active tr..' for Inclm than five years,
and In view of the universally successful experience of Its operation and duraldlity during that time,
as welt as the highly satisfactory results obtained by us in our own thorough trial of Its dualities, we have
no hesitation In pronotinclui it the only complete and successful arrangement for removlng.ellukers
and retuse front the tire-box Instantaneously, thoroughly and - eleanly,', while the degree of combustion
obtained has never. in our opinion, been equaled with any other style of grate.
TIIE:RANSOM COTTAOK is A thoroughly first-clime Range In all its portions and appointments,'l
while the price is extremely low. It is so constructed - that it can be changed from a Low Closet to a
Single Oval Range, by merely lifting the upper part /f the Range front i-ho Loa 12/met and placing It
nisei a set ororuamented legs. All sixes can also furnished with the tirnaniental Eleiated Shelf.
The large Baled Ash ran is taken out at the end of t e Range instead of the front—a much more eon.
veulent and cleanly arrangement—and [lei caps• lolls Warming Closet extends untlereeath the whole
Range. The lint Water Reservoir Is heated entirely froth the bottom. and is of a larger capacity than
will be found on any other Range of. this class.' All the minor details In the construction of this
Range have received the closest attention. It has highly burnished ends, Illekle.platen knobs of a new
antibeautiful pattern, nickle-plated panels, 'tickle-plated Towel Racks, and the niountlng and fittings'

Teething in the liorse—Molf
Teeth. ;•
•
' In connecting' the teeth e withAle
*teased eyes we are not following the
foolish prejudice which attributes all
trouble of sight to the wolf teeth.
These teeth are harmless enough ;
yet the popidar prejudice-has a found
ation which it would be well for
horsemen f not to l ignore Most;di
.seases otthe eyes occur at the period
of life when the milk teeth are being
most rapidly shed and permanent
teeth are eoming up: To suppose
that a horse suffers nothing in cut-,
ting his teeth is a great mistake, - as
is shown by the frequently slow and
painful mastication of some young
animals by the occasioned dropping
of food in a lialtehewed condition,
and by the heat, redness and swelling
of the palate and. gums. - That red,
swollen and tender state of the roof
of the mouth behind the front teeth,
familiarly known as " Lamps" is
but an indication of this teething
trouble, and in not a 'few instances
it renders the animal feverish, weak
and by virtue of the general conges
tion of the bead, strongly predispos
ed to inflammation of the eyes. The
wolf teeth are in the mouth during
the greater part of this period, of
teething, and are usually shed toward
its completion'; so that °nee it is
hinted that these are the cause of the
trouble with the. eyes, the owner,
looking into the mouth seems to find
ample confirmation of the statement.
the - wolf teeth are, however,, the
most harmless in the mouth; hati ng
long ago reached their full develop
ment, and are but slightly inserted
in their sockets, while the great and
dangerous irritation attends on the
cutting of the large grinding teeth,
and, in the, male, of the tushes. The
presence of the wolf teeth in the
mouth at this time is an accident, and
not an injury. The temporary recov
ery often following their removal
would, have taken plade all the same
had they been left in the mouth, and
a later attack is just as likely as if
they were present. The excitement
attendant on teething is natural;
what we should ,guard against is its
excess. Any costiveness of the bow
els should be corrected by the feed
ing, or, if necessary, by one ounce of
Glauber's_, salts daily. Teeth press
ing painfully beneath tense, resistant,
painful gums indicate the need of the
lanCe ; teeth entangled on the Crowns,
of their successors should be romov- I
ed ; all excessive swelling, redness
and tenderness of the gums demand
lancing; and, filially, all unnecssary
excitement or exhaustion should'be
avoided.-=National Lice Stock Jour

Pruning Fruit and Ornamental
Wp read a great deal about the
proper time of-pruning trees, and
pecially the apple tree. Sonic pre
ferfall,some mid-winter, some early
spring, but scarcely One recommends
the very best time in our humble
opinion Mid-summer: Doubtless
-sonic old fogies will epen their eyes
And .hold up their hands at such an
innvoation, and denounce it as an ab
surdity; but we'think we will be sus
tained
by a majority of 'the 'live"
men of the day.
If .We desire- to iinpiove the forth
of a fruit tree and get 'rid of some of
the superflous wood, we should prune.
in winter; but if we desire fruit and
a perfectly hea!ed stump, we shouldt
prune from the fifteenth of June to
r the twentieth ofJ uly. Wp have done
this often with the happiest-results.
The fruit-beds form after this, and
opel.ation in, suddenly eating off its
growth produces buds, while the win
ter or early spring pruniug will pro
duce only wood.
In pruning ornanental trees in
midsummer, the bark, instead of re
ceding from the stump, grOtvs, over it,
and in a, few years completely
cover it and make a perfect amputa
tion. We have noticed. ' this; upon
our own premises as well as upon
those of others many times., This
pruning is done when the tree is ,tak
ing its mid-summer. " siesta," and
then wakes up, refreshed for another
start : , and the' bark gradually steals
over the stump as ifiaslnitned of the
shabby looking exposure. •
.When the tree is in full leaf, and
presents its .full form to us, - we can
see exactly where the pruning should
he done, in order that while the-over
growth may be removed, thi symme
try of the tree may. be .pxeserved.
Especially in mid-summer 'Nutting to
be preferred, first, to predisce buds
on fruit-bearing trees as; before stat
ed ; and second when laige limbs are
to,be removed.
:Many gardeners already appreciate"
the valuable services of the common'
toad, and 7 adord them protection for
their insect,desttoying propensities,
while as many more, perhaps, are icr
norant of their usefulness. To' the
latter class it may be interesting to
know that toads live almost wholly
upon sluggish caterpillara,.`beetles,
and other insects, making the rounds
at night when the farmer is asleep--
-and the birds, too—and • the insects
are supposed to be having it all their
own way. English gardeners under.
stand these facts so well that toads
are purchased at so much a dozen,
and turned loose, and the best of it
is the toads generally stay at home,
so tlMt the gardener is not troubled
with dying his toads over again
very few days.
The toad can be tarried, and•will
even learn to know." its master."
and will come when called ; the,writ
er has not only bad such pets him
self, but could give other instances
of taming that have come under his
observation. Toads can be . made
very useful about the house, and will
do no little good in .destroying cock
roaches, flies :and other household
pests.—N. Y. Tribune.
' Plowing by Electricity.
Some interesting experiments of
plowing by electricity took. place the
other day at Noisiel, in- France, in
the park of the well-known Deputy
and chocolate maker, M. Menier.
The motive power was supplied to
the plow by a Gramme 'machine, it
self set in motion by water power,
which is abundant on M. Menier's
estate. The plow did about the same
work as if it were drawn by four.ox
en. It was a. Fowler plow, ivithix
shares. The motive power was sup
plied by a wire at a distance of near
ly half a mile. To a profane looker
on it was amazing to see a plow pro-
I Veiled by an unseen agency without'
teams or steam .: The Gramme ma
chine employed was the same that,
supplied- M. Menier's• manufactory
with electric light.
