THE (JalTaLS LOVE.
No, I've never Uh-ii Kliipwn-cked or
lcen in collision all the time I've been
to wa a mattt-r now of over 40 years.
Rut I've carried some queer passeugers
iu my lime. I'll tell you about two
who exercised a powerful influence
over me, but w hetlier for god or evil
you t-liall liear preiitly.
It was in the fall of 1S72, just when
on the eve of sailing, that au old gen
tleman btepped ou board and hurriedly
approached me. He was a tall, spare
man, with iron gray hair and had a
blight stoop at the bhoulders.
''(.iood day, captain," said he.
only heard this morning that you were
sailing for Euglaud, and I hastened
dottn to asrertaiu if you could find
at-commodatiou for myself aud dauglit
er at so short notice."
'(A-rtaiuly," I replied iu my hearty
way. "I shall be only too pleaied to
take you. As it happens, there are
onlytbrce passengers booked this trip,
and tliey are class, so you can have the
saloon pretty much to yourselves."
He thanked me tllUMvely and dis
appeared into the suUxm. 1 marveled
at his precipitancy "and woudered
where the daughter was to come from,
for she was not visible anywhere.
I gave instructions to the appren
tices to have their luggage conveyed ou
board, and myself superintended the
stowing away of their trunks in the
two liest apiHiintcd cabins in the ship
While so engaged I heard a light foot
fall behind me, and, turning round 1
beheld the fairet vision of loveliness
that ever brightened my saloon.
"My daughter Captain Haruott,"
said Mr. Brandon, introducing us.
I was so takeu aback by her exceed
ing beauty that I awkwardly touched
my cap, and, with the wind clean taken
out of my sails, stammered :
"tilad to st you, nitss."
Slie placed her soft, little, white hand
in my big, suu browned paw, aud,
looking me sipiarely in the lace out of
her laughing blue eyes, said :
"I'm sure we shall be good fiiiuds,
captain, during the voyage."
.She s)M,ke with a charming colonial
accent, aud from that moment I was
her most devoted, humble servant,
.lave, anything you like. I went head
over ears in love with her at sight.
You may smile; but, recollect, I was a
comtiaratively young man then.
Leaving them to arrange their cab
ins to their own satisfaction, I ascend
ed the companion steps aud went ou
deck. It certainly occupied them a
considerable time, for neither father
nor daughter apjieared oil deck until
the ship was we.l outside the "Heads"
aud the tug had returned to ort.
That voyage I look back ujxiu as the
happiest and saddest I ever made.
Miss Rraudoti was a splendid sailor.
In fair weather or-foul she'd be ou
leek, delighting me with the admira-
ion she expressed fur iuy handsome
three masted clipper and the child like
iiaivete of her questions. I used to
ace the quarter deck in the morning,
iriatieiil for I.e. lir.st aptiearauee. On
the dullest or dirtiest day it was like a
ray of sunshine suddenly bursting forth
from a lowering sky to see her emerge
from the companion hatch, looking as
fresh as a daisy and a thousand times
more lovely.
Of course it was only natural that
my mates should fall in love with her
also, but she treated them with mark
ed indiflereiice if not absolute coldness.
ller smiles were all reserved for me,
aud she lavished them upon me in no
niggardly manner.
There was a piano in the saloon, and
ifteii in the long evenings she would
sing and play for my sole delectation,
while I would sit on a settee alongside
aud gaze rapturously into her pretty
face. The song I liked best was "Tom
fowling," and she infused such an
amount of pathos into her expression
that the tears would sometimes trickle
down my Weather lieaten cheeks as she
sang. Ah, those were happy days!
It was heaven while it lasted.
I have scarcely mentioned her father
yet. The fact is I was so engrossed
with his Uautiful daughter that 1
didn't pay so much attention to him
as erhaps I ought. At the best he
was a saturnine, unsociable sort of per
son, who seemed to prefer his own
comjtany to other jieople's. When not
n his owu cabin, where he spent most
of his time, he was walking with his
lands claiqicd behind him apparently
deep iu thought, in the waist of the
ship. "Sometimes, when standing idly
at the break of the iioop, I have caught
myself wondering if he had ever com
mitted a crime the remembrance of
w hich was weighing heavily on his
conscience, I was destined soon to
learn more about him.
One evening, when al-out nine weeks
out, I was sitting in the chart-house
alone with my idol. The second mate
as stepping the planks outside, old
Jobsou was at the wheel away behind
us, and the watch on deck were loung
ing about forward. Home days previ
ous to this I had had the temerity to
confess my love for her and asked her
to be my w ife. bhe had made me in
expressibly happy by promising, sub
ject to my obtaiuing her father's con
sent, This, arter some ilemur, lie naa
granted, aud that night the future ap
peared very bright for me.
We had been sitting silent for some
ime, too happy for words, gazing ou
the setting suu as it disappeared into a
glowing mass of golden rimmed clouds
on the horizon, when, to my infinite
amazement, she suddenly burst into
tears.
"Darling, what is the matter?" I ex
claimed in an agony of apprehension.
"Oh, Alfred, I have just heard such
dreadful story from my father. I
shall never be happy again. We can
never be married now."
"Never be married !" I ejaculated,
aghast, "Why?"
"Ilecause my father is a a criminal.
Oh, I feel so miserable I think I shall
throw myself overboard."
"Ali.-e, lor heaven's sake don't talk
like that, or you'll drive me mad.
What has he done?"
'Something dreadful. Oh, don't
sticak to me any more." And she sob-!
bed violently.
At that inomeut I was so mad I felt
half inclined to go down and tear the
omer
SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY,
old scarecrow out of his lierth by the
scrulfofthe neck aud demand what
the deuce he had done to cause my
darling such poignant grief, ltut I
didn't. Instead I drew her to my side
aud kissed her tears away.
"Tell me all about it," said I sooth
ingly.
"Well, my father, as you are aware,
was an agent in one of the banks of
Arlington, Victoria, and it seems he
embezzled large sums of money belong
ing to the bank to steculate with. Of
course he meant to replace it before the
audit, when the deficit would have
been discovered. Rut he lost it all,
aud that is why he tied the country."
"Is that all?" said I, with a sigh of
relief. "It's bad enough certainly, but
I fail to see that iu itself it forms a
sullieient barrier to our union."
"Rut that is not the worst. My fath
er is convinced that the police may
have traced him to Mellsmrne and to
this ship. He declares he will be ar
rested ou lauding."
"Nothing more likely," I thought,
Rut I remarked casually, "Has he any
plan to suggest?"
"Yes, oh, yes, ifyou will only assist
him. Rut it seems too horrible lo con
template. He says it is his only chance
to escape."
"What is it theu?"
"That he should die and be buried
at sea," she responded, with a iercep-
tible shiver.
"I don't understand."
"He projMiHcs to feign death. Then,
after he has lieen sewed up for burial,
we must find the means to liU rate
him aud substitute something else."
The daring audacity of the projMrsal
fairly took my breath away. If dis
covered, the consequences to me in
aiding aud abetting a felon to escape
would be disastrous. I resolve to have
nothing to do with such a criminal
proceeding, but a look of entreaty from
those tearful eyes made ine falter iu
my resolution.
"For my sake!" she murmured
pleadingly, placing her fair, while
hand ou my arm.
Her touch thrilled me. I hesitated
no longer, but gave an unwilling con
sent. Ah, w hat folly w ill not a man
commit when in love!
Next day it was reported that Rrau-
dou were seriously indisposed. I took
out the medicine chest as in duty bound,
and ordered the cabin steward to at
tend hiiu. Three days later Mr. Dran-
don was reiMrted dead.
When I was in for nan I of this, I en
tered his cabin. He was lying in the
under berth, pale aud motionless as
death. I felt the body. It was cold
and rigid. If this were not death, he
simulated it to ierfeclioii. 1 scut for
the suihnakcr, who sewed the body up
in my presence. When his task was
completed, I dismissed him, and secur
ing the cabin door inside, with a sharp
knife ripied open the stitches. My
hand shook painfully. What if lie
were really dead?
I confess to experiencing a singular
feeling of relief when the man opened
his eyes, and the resuscitated Rrandou
sat up. I ad mi insured some brandy.
which heljied to revive him. He quick
ly and noiselessly dressed himself.
Then he produced from au American
trunk a dummy figure which he had
previously prepared and weighted aud
inclosed it in the shroud. This he sew
ed up with his own hands. Not a
word was spoken by either of us.
When all was completed, I stepped
out to reconnoiter. Keeing the coast
was clear, I signaled him, and he crept
swiftly across the iassage into his
daughter's cabin, where lie concealed ,
himself.
Iu the first dog watch of the same
afternoon the hell commenced to toll
iU solemn knell for the funeral of
Anthony Rrandou. Ollicers aud men
aud passengers stood round me with
heads uncovered as I read from the
Rook of Common Prayer the beautiful
and impressive burial service, tJod
forgive me, it was an awful mockery.
I don't know how I got through with
it. Afterward I heard it commented
that I was much afTected during the
service. Heaven knows I was, but
'twas with guilt and fear.
Alter the funeral Rrandon returned
to his own cabin, which was kept con
stantly locked, and the key of which I
retained iu my own possessitm. With
my connivance Alice smuggled food to
him from day to day.
About two weeks afterward, while
proceeding up the chaunel under all
sail, we were hailed by a tug. Antici
pating dauger, I slipicd down the
eompanioiiway and conveyed Rrau
don to my owu cabin for concealment.
When I went on deck again, I was just
iu time to see a see a stout, Well groom
ed party c!atnb-Ting over the vessel's
side. Without any preliminaries he
brusquely demanded:
'Ciot a passenger of the name of
Rrandon on board?"
"I bal, stranger; I had."
He gazed at me inquiringly.
"Come below, sir," said I.
As we descended he explained that
he was a detective sent in pursuit of
Rrandou, who had absconded from
Australia with a considerable sum of
money aud valuable negotiable securi
ties. When he had produced his war
rant, I ordered the mate to fetch the
logbook. Under date the 15th Jauuary
he read this entry:
"Ruried at sea in latitude 33 degrees
4U minutes N., it degrees 10 minutes
W. Anthony Rrandou, cabin passen
ger. Cause of death unknown."
He muttered something under his
breath which was quite unintelligible
to me. Then he demanded to see
Rrandon's ellects. I led the way into
his cabin. He ransacked every trunk
and portmanteau, but not a vestige of
pajier or anything of value did he dis
cover. The expression on tils lace
w hen he left the ship some hours later
was not particularly pleasant.
When we arrived in the docks at
London, I smuggled Mr. Rrandon
ashore iu one of his daughter's trunks,
after tbey had leen searched by the
custom officer. No one in the ship
ever susjweted the truth. Their secret
remained alone w ith me.
It was arranged that .Alice and I
should be married quietly before setting
out on my next voyage, and our hon
eymoon was to be spent on the bosom
of the deep. When we parted that
ESTABLISHED
night, she promised to communicate
with me when her father had secured
some quiet retreat iu the country. She
kept her promise. Here is the letter.
I have preserved it all these years. It
has neither suirscriptiou nor signa
ture :
"I ea it ( i.n Ca ita i x. Many, many
thanks for all your kindnesses. My
husband and I for Mr. Rrandou is
my husband, though it was not known
iu Arlington will never forget them.
Pray forgive the deceit we found it ex-
jiedieut to practice ou you in order to
carry out our plans. We are iu fairly
ailment circumstances, for my bus baud
did not lose the money In speculation,
at I thought it necessary to tell you
Dear captain, I know I can rely upon
you, for your owu sake, not to inform
authorities about my husband. As he
died at sea we expect to live securely,
unmolested by the bank olllcials or the
police. (Joodby forever."
And that was the cud of my ro
mance. No, I never heard anything
more abtut them. Whether they liv
ed to enjoy their ill gotten gains or
w hether thiy didn't I can not tell.
Rut this I do know, she was the first
woman that ever fooled me, and by
heaven, she was the last! I never gave
another the chance. London Tit-Hits.
Tsefal Hints.
Often very rich cream will not whip
up readily; it should have a little milk
added to it. Cream should lie very
cold to whip easily and quickly. If it
is well chilled there is not the danger
of the cream whipping to butter as
housekeepers frequently complain it
does.
Cold water put into glasses or dishes
from which eggs have been eaten will
soften the egg and make washing easy.
Much coal is wasted by keeping
draught on unnecessarily.
All cold vegetables left over should
lie saved for future use in gotiits aud
salads.
People of small means can live well
if care is taken that there is no waste
in the kitchen. -
Wealthy jeople sienl double as
much as is necessary from lack of care
in domestic matters.
Sterilized milk is: safer for infants
than is milk simply warmed.
The care of a refrigerator involves
more than the obvious nci-essity of see
ing that, with the approach of hot
weather, no accumulation of food is
a' lowed to spoil therein. Tiie prudent
housewife will, likewise, direct that
the ice itself, iu extreme heat, be cov
ered with newspapers than which
there Is no tvrrer prevouave oi its rap
id melting away. She will Fee that the
shelves are frequently scoured and
kept perfectly tswtct, but that no hot
water is employed for this purjHi.se.
She will give orders that tiie drinking
water be cooled by lieing placed upon
the ice, and not by having the i.-e put
into it, Aud, last of all, she will en
deavor to convince the mniJs that
there is no magic preservation ou top
of the refrigerator, and that that par
ticular HKt is quite as warm as any
other part of the storeroom; also that
the eoolestlace iu the box is under
neath the ice that is, on those shelves
beneath it aud not, as so ofteu sup
p;sed, on top of it. Thus anything
placed over the cake of ice is much
warmer than what is put away within
the refrigerator. N. Y. P.ist-
Uudergarnieut9 and all doching and
IxsMing should be hung at least 12
hour in a warm rNii to air. It is
dilllcult for any ore to be certain wiien
every porl ion of a freshly ironed gar
ment is properly dried, and in order to
be ou the safe side 12 hours, at least,
should be allowed. A serious illness
may arise from making use of improp

Stands at the Head.
Aug. J. Rogel, the lea. ling druggist
of Shreveport, La., says: "Dr. King's
New Discovery is the only thing that
cures iuy cough, and it is the best sel
ler I have," J. F. Campbell, mer
chant of Sallbrd, Ariz., writes: "Dr.
King's New Discovery is all that is
claimed for it; it never fails, and is a
sure cure for consumption, coughs and
colds. I can not say enough for its
merits." Dr. King's Discovery for
consumption, coughs and colds is not
au experiment. It has been tried for a
quarter of a eeatury, and to-day stands
at the head. It never disappoints.

Sits Down to Walk.
The western Indians, though not
fond of work, do not approve of indo
lent white men. The "heap good
white man" is the white man who
works hard; and to sit by aud watch
him as he toils seems to afford them
never-failing pleasure.
Some young "warriors" of the Rlack

PB0TJD DAT FOR VICTORIA.
Five Millions of People Shout For
England's Queen.
In all history no such a vast mass of
humanity has ever gathered to witness
a similar sjeetacle as was seen iu Lon
don Tuesday. At least live millions of
jieople saw the great pageant in honor
of the (Jueeii of England's diamond
jubilee. Nothing so. elaborate in the
matter of processions had ever been
witnessed in the great metropolis.
The programme was carried out from
start to finish without a flaw, aud it is
almost miraculous that the day passed
without a mishap of any moment.
In the parade the United States rep
resentatives attracted special attention,
and they were accorded distinguished
marks of favor on the part of her Ma
jesty.
The (Juecn bore the fatigue of the
journey remarkably well. She ap
peared to enjoy greatly the homage of
her loyal subjects, and took a keen in
terest in all the striking feature of the
great demonstration.
The weather was perfect. It was
cloudy in the morning but, there; was
sunshine from the lime the Queen
emerged from the palace gates, aud the
temerature was just warm enough to
be pleasant,
DKI'KW PICTI KK.S THE SCENE.
DrChauncey M. Depew has written
for the Associated Press his impres
sions of the jubilee, as follows:
"The diamond jubilee prots.-s.sion has
passed and has left a lasting impres
sion. Its prejwiration required sixty
years and was over in sixty minutes.
Pride, power and adoration were its
characteristics. Pride in the imperial
position of Creat Rritaiu in the world,
and an exhibition of power which in
spires this national exaltation and
fervid loyalty in action, expression and
thought for the f Jueen.
KKAMATIC AXI HISTORIC.
"As to the pageant, it was dramatic
and historic. Tiie Iord Mayor, in his
robes of otlice, meeting the sovereign
at the city gates, recalled the early sug
gestion of liln-rty, in privileges won
from kings by free cities, and the
Sheriff, iu mediieval costum;, escort
ing the monarch within his bailiwick,
gave a glimpse of the origin and recog
nition of civil rights by the throne.
ALL HEMONSTKATIONS Sl'RIASSKI.
"The monarch, escorted by princes
and guarded by the military forces of
the realms, Is.th regulars and volun
teers, national and colonial, evidenced
the strength and permanency of the
monarchial system with this jieople.
"We, Americans, glory hi our coun
try. Mini 1.1 It 1 .l.J..j,.i
iu a hundred years and duly assert our
selves on the fourth of July. The cele
brations by the tiermans on the twenty-lift!!
anniversary of the battle of
Sedan and the founding of thetierman
Empire, which I saw, was a wonder
ful exhibition of race and national
feeling.
"Rut the concentrated and irrepres
sible joy aud pride which preceded, ac
companied and followed the Queen
like a resistless torrent surpassed any
thing ever witnessed before. Though
many races and many tongues partici
jiated, the dominant, alsorbiug ex
pression was English, and the glory
was England's.
"Peers and Commoners, masters aud
workmen, millionaires and the multi
tude were welded by a tremendous
forces. This concentration of loyalty
from the remotest corners of the earth
Into one wild frantic mass of patriotic
enthusiasm had au v licet upn olwtrv-
ors which can In? likened to nothing to
much as to the North and S-mth elec
trified by the first gun lired at Fort
Sumpter, or by the Seventh Regiment
marching down Rroadway to the de
fense of the capital.
LOYALTY 3AIK MASIKKsT.
"The enthusiasm and shouting were
far different from those evoked by the
triumphal prosessiou of a Roman con
queror. Men and women eagerly ex
pressed to each other, and emphasized
to foreigners, as the Colonials march
ed by, that they were not captives
chaiued to the chariot of their con
queror, but 'willing subjects, free citi
zens of one world-wide empire, follow
ing their sovereign.'
"White, yellow and black soldiers
trooped by, each accelerating and in
creasing the tidal wave of enthusiasm
aud presenting a panorama of power
uiiequaled in history. Tne seeds of
this power were in the American revo
lution, au J it expanded into this won
derful siKi-tacle by the principles of
self-government so triumphantly vin
dicated by the founders of the United
States.
"The sovereign and the British states
men who believe the colouies should
lie governed from IjOiidou and taxed
for the benefit of the mother couutry
lost for England the American colo
nies, and the sovereign and statesmen,
taught by our success, who have left to
each settlement absolute indepeudenee
aud home rule, have built upon these
foundations and vastly strengthened by
this reunion the Rritish federation of
empire.
AMERICANS NOT JKALOCS.
"Among the American spectators
there was tio jealousy nor stiuct of
praise and applause. We could both
glory in the vitality and virility of the
mother couutry and rejoice mightily.
We were not marching in the proces
sion, but we were present as the proud
equal in all that constitutes a free peo
ple and a great nation.
"It was pleasiug to note our neigh
bors of Canada. They easily took the
lead among the colonials. The fact
that the Province of Quebec was in re
bellion when Victoria came to the
throne and that her Premier, now here
is a Frenchman and a Catholic, ap
pealed to English imagination.
"That the descendant of Montcalm
aud his couutrymeu should vie with
the children of Wolfe and his soldiers
in their loyalty, and that Canada has
made a- beginning by favoring t.reat
Rritain as against other nations in her
tariir have touched both the Rritish
heart and pocket.
AN I NlyrE TK1BITK.
"I can conjure uo tribute like the
popular ovation to the Queen ever be
ing given to any human beiug except
the reecptiou to Washington by the
people on his way from Mount Vernon
to New York to assume the position of
first President of the United States.
Respect, reverence, love or gratitude
are words too tame, and there is no in
termed iate expression between them
and adoration.
"This practical age does not worship,
but, leaving out the idea of divinity,
to-day's gritting to the Queen and
Empress is its equivalent.
"That she was deeply moved was
evident, but she seemed more absorled
by the significance of the event than
conscious of her past. Therein she im
pressed rae as proud and happy with
this grand tribute of her people, but at
the same time sharing with them the
universal joy in the thought of both
oppressed and elevated that there has
not been such a sixty years in recorded
time that all nations have enjoyed its
lieuelits ami blessings, and none more
than our own.
OLOKIKS OK VHTOKI.'S KKI'.N.
"Rut, for this day and place, the
crowd only saw what (ireat Rritain
has gained during her reign, aud ac
corded pnii.se then for to her. Her reign
has been a j writ si of emancipation iu
English history. The prerogatives
of the throne have diminished, ami by
her rule and conduct its power has so
increased that this welcome came with
such acclaim and unanimity from the
free people, governing themselves, w ho
gave in its might and majesty.
"Making due allowance for the exal
tation of the hour, Victoria w ill occupy
a great place in the history of the nine
teenth century. Her influence for
peace has been the momentous conse
quence to Great Rritain, Europe aud
civilization.
AS WOMAN AXI Kt I.KIC
"She has always been cordial in her
friendship and anxious for the loftiest
relationship with the United States.
Her messages, sweet, tender aud wom
anly, to the widow of Lincoln and the
wife of the dying ( Jarlield gave her a
welcome ami a nnaueiil memory in
our American homes.
"In estimating her hilluence we
must picture what might have occur

How to Stop Snoring-.
To those who snore and are aware
of the infirmity and wish to get rid of
it we would commend the following:
There are two channels in which the
air travels in going to the lungs
namely, the nosV; aud the mouth.
These two passages unite in a common
cavity, and from that point there is
but one tube leading to the lungs.
There is a boue, called the hard palate,
which forms the roof of the mouth and
the floor of the nose, searatiug these
two air channels from each other. At
the inner or Kwterior end of the bone
is a little Ldy called the soft palate,
made of muscle aud covered with a
delicate skin. This soft j-alate is at
tached at one end to the hard palate.
The other end hangs loose and moves
or laps iu the act of breathing, some
thing like a window curtain when
acted upon by a current of air. This Is
iu condition while we are asleep or
awake, though during sleep it is much
more relaxed or llabby than when we
are awake.
Now, In order to snore one must keep
the mouth open as .well as the in we,
and in this condition the two currents
of air, passing in aud out together dur-
lug the act of breathing catch this little
current U-tween them aud throw it
into rapid vibration. This vibration,
more or less intense and sonorous, is
what we call snoring. It is only with
the mouth open that snoring cau be ac
complished. Try to sleep with your
mouth closed, and if you can succeed
in doing so you will cure yourself of a
very disagreeable performance cer
taiuly disagreeable to others if not to
yourself. New York Ledger.

Farm Topics in Season.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Whether the farm has a general
manure heap or not there should be a
place set apart for a compost factory;
that is, a , receptacle where not
only fresh manure, hut leaves, dirt,
slops froru the house and other sub
stauces may be added. As there may
le more materials accumulated than
can be easily handled, the heap can lie
turned over at any time, allowed to
heat and decompose at will, and be so
managed as to provide ready plant
food for immediate use on flowers or
sjits ial plants in the garden. Such an
accumulation will be quite large iu the
course of a year, ami if all the waste
substances of the farm are added, ami
the liquids from the stables used for
saturating them w ith dry dirt added,
there will lie little or no l.s of am
monia, aud tiie substances will be well
decomposed and fiue. No bulky ma
terial should go on the comport heap,
the object lieing to use ahsoriieiits to
prevent loss aud to have the compost
as line as dirL
Many medicinal plants can U' grown
with profit, as the demand for some
kinds is increasing. Altsinthe (worm
wood ) can be raised as far north as
New England, and this country im
lrts it from Euroje. Saflron which
sells for $s per piu'iil, may be grown
in nearly all sections. l'eps rmint
and sH-anui!it find ready sale, and
sage, which is well know n to every
farmer, is imjiortcd, frequently selling
for $1-10 jier ton. Then there are hoar
hound, l.nieset, mandrake, blood root,
euny royal, etc., which are regarded
as weeds in some localities, all of
which are largely used and have a val
ue in market.
The currant worm does great dam
age to currant Lu-hes every year, and
unless kept down will soon put an end
to the crop. The remedy for the cur
rant worm is white Iiellelmre, an ounce
of the p.wder dissolved iu two gallons
cf water, applied with a fine sprinkler.
The mixture w ill also destroy slugs ou
r'hsv bushes. The su!stance used is
very poisonous, and should I kept iu
some place where no mistake e-an lie
made with it by any member of the
family.
A spraying mixture, claimed to l
cluajier than paris green, is composed
as follows: Tw o pounds white arsenic,
eight iMiuiids sal soda aud 40 immiiiiIs of
lime', the total cit of the spraying
mixture being 7 cents, or 31 cents per
Birrel as a soi'ition. The riintitis
mentioned wiii make gallons of
spraying mixture. Dissolve the arst-u-
ic by boiling with carbonate of soda in
two gallons of water (ordinary wash
ing soda ), which mixture e-an be kept
alwsvs read v fr use. Roil in an old
iron tot fur !" minutes, or until the ar
senic is dissolved. When wanted fr
use slake two ouuds ff lime and add
) gallons of water. Into this pour a
pint of the arsenic mixture. This
preparation will not burn the leaves of
plants. It makes a milky colored
spray, which can be seen on the plants,
and is not only cheaper than paris
green, but more uniform iu strength
and fully as cllicacious.
Whale-oil soap is harmless to plants,
and is au excellent insecticide for cer
tains. One pHiud of si Kip in eight gal
lons of water, sprayed on rose bushes
with a syringe, will destroy aphides.
It should lie used lilierally, however.
Many plants kept in the house may le
safely washed with the solution.
It is rejtorted from Florida that a
fungus disease has appeared that is fat
al to the San Jose scale. The fungus
is a native of Flori.Ia, and is easily
propegated artifieally, being applied
to trees with a spray pump. If this
discovery is confirmed it means an
end to this dangerous San Jose scale
(e-st and will save millions of dollars
to the country, as it will be much
easier to scatter the disease among the
depredators than to attempt to ehex-k
bv other methods.

In-fore some other grasses start. It
does not remain long after being mow

seems to always leave seel iu the soil

June and July are the mouths for dig
ging the peach tree borer out of the
trunks. This work may lie done with
out injury to the trees, and is very nec
essary. The method is to e-ut into the

wire, but care sliould be used that the
work is done so as to insure the de
struction of the Iwrer.
It requires about 1-V) pounds of but
ter per year to pay for the labor aud
feed devoted to a eow. The profit is
the amount produced above the pro
portion necessary to pay the expense.
A cow that produe-es 3-VO pounds of
butter a year will give four times the
profit that will be derived from a cow
producing 3)0 pounds of butter per
year, as the first I'm) ounds must be
charged to the cow as expense. It can
be seen, therefore, that one cow, giv
ing S'x pounds of butter a year,
is
equal, in the profit given by her, to
four cows which produce 200 pounds
each during the same time. The one
cow will take up less room than will
four. These facts show where profit
from dairying is derived.

It will psy any farmer to r-ad about
his biiMiicse, now matter how experi
enced he may lie there are many things
he will never know from his own ven

there are so many problems which re
quire scientific attainments, and which
many farmers can hear of only through
constant reading.
At the rates at which wheat bran al
ways sills for in spring it is quite as
profitable for feeding to buy wheat and '
have it ground whole without bolting.
If this makes too heavy a feed some
more bran added to keep it froiu clog
ing the stomach, or perhaps some oats
ground with the wheat, may be added.
Yet for the nutrition afforded the
whole wheat ground makes a cheaper
feed than does the bran, and for both
horses and sows it can be safely feed
with cut hay, cut cornstalks or cut
straw.
A good milch cow Iras broad hind
quarters and thin forequarters, thin
and deep neck, pointed withers. Lead
stinted between the horns, flat and
tine boned legs and fine hair. Choose
one with udders well forward, wide
apart and large enough to be easily
grasped. A medium-sized cow will
give more milk in proportion to the
fis.J she eats.
