Th? First "Human Ostrich" | The first caso oa record of a human lDdiscriraiDately devouring every thing that came within his reach is that of the French boy, Tarnrc who first gave nn exhibition of the capsc ty and strength of his stomach by eating u full peck of carrots mill seven bars of soap with ap parent relish. Of course, ho was not nhvays a boy, and as he grew up the irimkish antics of his stomach took many varied twists. (In one occasion, when a druggist's back was turned, Tarare hastily swallowed a -couple of dozen of corks of all sizes. At last, his stomach being full of such indigestible matter, he became the victim of violent attacks of colic and was finally compelled to seek the advice of M. Girard, ot the Hotel Pieu. Uirnrd called a council of phy sicians aud Tarare's case was thoroughly discussed. They tried to explain to the man what would be the final outcome ol such performances, but were greatly sur prised, if not angered and chagrined, to find that ho had actually swallowed a watch chain, seals and all, beside a bunch of seven keys and a glove hook whict weie on an ivory ring nearly two inches in diametca; uU this while the lcarnec gentlemen were lecturing him! At the time T>f this examination he regularly ate twenty-four pounds of, beef a day, lie sides other victuals in proportionate quantities. lie now entered the French Army, being first attached to the Ninth Regiment of Hussars, Major Courville retaining him as a fieak. lie was daily i allowed the regular ratious of three men and the right to the refused scraps aud Other pickings. When on the march he would catch evta and serpents aud swallow their l "vholc. On one occasion he ate a cit, bones, fur aud all. Colonel Marpel auil General lleauharris both make affi davit that they saw him eat thirty pounds of liver at one sittiug, aud others declare that he once ate a fourteen months old child!—St. Louis Republic. "Rnininir Cats iintl Dogs " Tu Norfclwrn mythology the cat is sup- | posed to i'ave great inlluence on the wcathoi, and English sailors still say: "The cat has a gale of wind in her tail," when she is unusually frisky. Witches that rode upon '.he storms were thought j to assume the shape of cats; aud in the Harz Mountains the stormy northwest wind is called the cat's nose. The dog is the signal of wind, like the wolf,both of which animals were attendants upon Odin, the storm-god of the Northmen. The cat, therefore symbolizes the down pouring rain, and the dog is the strong gusts of wind that accompany a rain storm. Hence "raining cats aud dogs'' rneansa heavy rain with wind.—Courier- Journal. Where Wolf Hunting Pays. The wolf-farming industry around Galena, 111., received a big impetus at the last meeting of the County Board, which placed a bounty of ten dollars on old wolves aud five dollars on whelps. As a result the county lias spent SSOO for wolf scalps in the last two mouths. One individual brought the scalps of twenty eight wolves to the County Clerk iu one •lay and received $l5O bounty. The big b mnty makes wolf hunting so profit able that it is alleged that nitnrods of contiguous counties drive the wolves over the border and roucd them up in Jo Daviess, where they kill-them for the bounty.—Chicago Herald. . i' •- i* ■ \lrtt.

Dctasseling corn is again a subject for consideration. The process consists in removing the upper portion of the stalk to which the spray of male or pollen bcaring flowers is attached. Several ex periments have shown that it increases the crop to remove the tassel from fully one-half of the stalks before the pollen is shed. The results of some extensive tests made by the Nebraska Experi mental Station show the oppesite effect. There was n uniformly lessened yield upon the plats when one-half or the stalks were detasscled. Similar results obtained when the tassels were removed after the pollen had been matured and scattered.—New York World. TROPEn rUESSURE IN CHEESE MAKING. A frequent mistake is to apply too strong pressure at first to the newly hooped curd. The pressure should be gradual, and the snug squeeze only given after several hours. The white whey toat starts from a severely pressed curd is rich in butter fats, which will net ap pear if the curd is allowed to settle firmly in the hoop before strong pressure is applied. The facts goto show that the average full cream cliccso has parted with far too much of its fats in press, vats, drainers and hoops, and is often found to be a half skiin when it reaches the consumer. Great hue-> > " r '-cry is raised over ttie idea that it unicr cial wisdom to take out a poi but ter fat to each hundred pounds ilk, which tests four and one-half per cent, fat for cheese making. The cheese is no better that has lost that amount of fat in manufacture than is another cheese from which has been skimmed an equal amount, and the balance of the fat retained by skillful manufacture. A little care at the beginning of the opera tions will always prevent such wastes and result in a better product.—Ameri can Agriculturist. A VETERINARY VIEW OF CRUELTY. The following is the report of a com mittee appointed by the British National Veterinary Congress for the purpose of further considering the subject of cruelty to animals fiom a veterinary point of view, and publishing a declaration iu the name of the Congress on certain practices and painful operations on animals. Lameness may be painless or painful. Those cases where the lameness passes off with exercise are prima facie cases' that' are accompanied by pain—this specially applies to cases of navicular dis ease aud spavin. In such cases horses ought not to bo worked, and when worked it is cruelty. The practice called twitching causes acute paiu and is frequently unjustifi able. Burning gas for lampas is cruelty. Knocking out wolf teeth is cruelty. Extracting temporary teeth save for a surgical reason is cruelty. Docking and nicking horses aro cruel. Maiking and hrumiing auiimds when necessary, should be performed by the quickest and least painful method. Worming tho tail, (locking and crop ping the ears of dogs are unnecessary aud therefore cruel operations. Operations of various kinds are fre quently performed on animals by igno rant person?,aud much cruelty is caused thereby,which ought to be publicly dep recated aud prevented by law. All pain ful operations not required for the good of the auiinal operated on are of a cruel nature. No operation causing paiu to on animal should be performed by an unskilful person. All necessary opera tions ought to bo performed in a scien tific manuer aud by the most liuiuau methods, iu order thereby to prevent the infliction of unnecessary paiu.—Western Agriculturist.

Flowers cost little in summer and are always a joy. Never allow the hens to drink from stagnant water. If a lawn is to be made, prepare to sow the seed early. A slow but healthy growth is desira ble in a fruit tree. Potash is an essential clement in the soil of an orchard. Don't be in a hurry to pull the mulch off from your strawberries. The goose eggs set under a hen should be turned every other day. Farming in the garden works badly, but gardening on the farm is excellent. Manage to plant trees in some way along the fence, if no other place is open. For raspberries, the richer the ground the larger and better the quality of the berries. From this time on through the summer the average farm butter does not pay for the making. Manure from the pig pen i« one of the best that can be used around the rhu barb plants. •'Two is company and three is a crowd" applies to triplet lambs as well as to lovers and the gooseberry. Shrewd flockmasters put to use a ewe that has lost her lamb by making her act as wet nurse for lost or discarded lambs. If they are picked regularly during the season geese shoripd average a pound of feathers each, and this should make them Pay- On rich, level bottom land stock farm ing can be made profitable, if anywhere. But do not waste such an opportunity on scrub cattle. llay that is cut, cured and housed be tween daylight and dark does not often lose its sweetness by being sun burned or water soaked. Often when the lambs aro doing well one is apt to think a little extra feeding will make them do better, but this gen erally proves a mistake. Most of ttie disease which is reportod each year among sheep is the direct re sult of exposure, neglect, rtarvation and unhealthy surroundings. It may not pay the majority of farmers to make a specialty of dairying, but in connection with other products it can readily be made profitable. Why not train the calves to lead and train the boys to lead them, and if well followed would often save much trouble i in the handling of the cattle. Both the animal and vegetable king doms are subject to the same laws. Seeds as well as stock may be improved by ; careful selection and breeding. The advantage of barn cisterns cannot be over estimated. Providing water for the stock, they prevent water trom the | roofs filtering through the manure. J There is only one way to run a dairy S successfully, aud that is to make a busi j ness ot it. The farm must be adjunct to the dairy, not the dairy to the farm. Give tho boy all the hard jobs and the ! chores that you don't want to do your j self, if you want him to leave the farm, i It is a pretty sure way to accomplish ; this. On a majority of farms milk could bo used with morn profit iu feeding it to the pigs, poultry, and calves than in making it into butter aud selliug it at ten cents a I pound. Are you thinking of feeding corn and makiug "big" for next winter's , market? If so, you have not observed that "light bacon" hogs are the ones that bring top prices. If you plant a field of sweet corn, in order to experiment a little with green soiling this fall, don't have it a half mile nway from the stable. A fiieud of ours who did this touud that soiliug didn't pay. When the farmer finds his cattle with a husky cough ho may attribute the same :to indigestion from over feeding. Cut down the supply fifty per cent, for two days and the result will be immediately beuelicial. We should lend every encouragement ! to steps that teud to develop new agri cultural industries. Even if we do uot wish to engage in them ourselves it re leases land from the production of other crops, aud that beuefit* u-t all very directly.

A DUSTER OF MANILLA ROPB. One of the latest caprices in fancy work is a duster made of maniiia rope. A piece of rope eighteen inches long is used, the rope being of any size that the maker may fancy. Double the rope midway, and with a strong waxed cord tie it about half the distance from the looped portion to the off ends. Wind the cord in carefully, making it very tight, and then tie in a strong Knot and cut the ends off close. Then fringe out the cut ends almost to the tied portion. Beat them on some hard substance to get out the lint looso scraps of manllla. This makes a very useful aud durablo brush.—Chicago Herald. IIOW TO WASH CLOTHES. The following is a Western lady's methDd of doing her own laundry work: Place your boiler on the stove contain ing Ave pails of water, and when the water is boiling hot add salsoda and soap sufficient to make good suds. Put the clothes that you wish to boil first in n convenient tub, and as soon the water is boiling pour enough over tho clothes to thoroughly wet thorn and let them soak for a few minutes. Now add moro water to the boiler, and as soon as it is boiling hot wring out the clothes in tho tub and put them in tho boiler and boil for twenty minutes. While this first batch is boiling prepare the second lot as you did the first. At the end of twenty minutes transfer the first batch of clothes to the washing machine and rub them a few minutes while the second batch is boiling. They will then be ready to rinse. I wash colored clothes the same as white clothes, except new ginghams or calicoes. Heat tho first rinsing water for the flannels; also rinse them in warm water. Borax, salts of tartar and salsoda makes a good washing fluid. 1 find the secret in washing is to have the water hot. Wringing tho clothes tarough the wringer several times with boiling hot suds will take out much of the dirt and will help very materially.—New York Herald. MUSLIN CURTAINS. Very few women like to use their best lace curtains during tho summer. Tho curtains get dusty, and after they are washed tliey never look quite as nice as they did before. Besides, laundrying lace curtains wears them out more than a year's wear at the windows. And so, sooner than run the risk of spoiling her treasures, the good housewife puts away her lace curtains in the spring aud sub mits to bare windows during the sum mer. A very pretty substitute for tho lace curtains may be found in muslin ones. The muslins may be white, with colored dots in it, or it m*y be plata, white dotted muslin which is familiar to every one. The colored muslin i«, however, more artistic and will not so quickly show the dust and wear of summer. Fasten the curtains upon the polo or cornice and then cut thein oil just long enough to touch the floor. Now take the curtain of the cornice and gather on all around its edge a narrow ruffle or a side plaiting of plaiu white muslin or mull. The rutlling should be of very thin ma terial, so that it gives somewhat the ap pearance of lace. Tie back the curtiins with strips of the muslin,edged with tho same rufHing, and turn a bit of rutlling over tho hook which holds the curtain back, so as to make a neat and pretty linish.—New York Commercial Advertiser. RECIPES. Jellied Chicken—Boil thoroughly so that the bones will drop away from the meat, then return it to the water aud keep it thereover uight. Next morning chop the chicken into very line pieces, and to it ndd salt and butter and a little pepper if needed. Mix thoroughly and turn into molds to harden. Cream of Rico Soup—Two quarts of chicken stock, one teacup of rice, a quart of cream or milk, a small ouion, a stock of celery, salt and pepper to taste. Cook slowly two hours; put through a sieve, add seasoning and the milk or creatn which has been allowed to come just to a boil? if milk, use also a table spoonful of butter. Apple Plums—Wash, seed aud stew a pound of raisins until they swell with tenderness; then add a quantity of apples cut in quarters and cook until soft, usinj honey or sugar to sweeten them, and lemon j>eel, nutmeg and cinnamon lot flavor. Dried apples or peaches, soaked over night are just as good as green fruit.

A PROFITABLE TALK. 1 Oar Special Reporter Becurea the Facie. HE DETERMINED TO THOROUGHLY IJJVEBTI GATE A SUBJECT THAT IS CAUSING MUCH COMMENT, AND 111 HAS SUCCEEDED. (.V. Y. Sun.) Two days ago one of the most prominent professional men in Now York published a letter so outspoken, so unusual as to cause extensive talk and awaken much comment. Yester.lay I interviewed the gentleman as to the contents of the letter, and he fully con firmed it in every res|>ect. He not only did this but he also mentioned a number of un usual casoH which had come under his obser vation in which little less than a miracle had been performed. Bo important tins the entire subject become that I determined to investigate it to the bottom, nnd accordingly called upon Mr. Albert O. Eaves, tho prominent costuiner at No. «3 East Twelfth street, the gentleman mentioned in my interview with the doctor yesterday. Mr. Haves has made quite a name. A complete knowledge of history, an appreciation of art and reliability are essen tial in his profession. "Mr. Kaves," 1 said, "I learn that your wife lias had a most unusual experience; are vou willing to describe it?" The gentleman thought a moment and an expression of pleasure passed over his face. "When I think," he said, "of what my wife once passed through and the condition she is in to-day, I cannot but feel gratitude. Nearly three years ago she wns at the point of death. You can understand how sick she was when 1 say she was totally blind and Iny in a state of unconsciousness. Three doctors attended her and all agreed that her death was only a question of hours, jierhaps min utes." "May I ask what the doctors eallo l her trouble?" "Uraemia and puerperal convulsions, so you can imagine how badly fhe must havo been. At last one doctor (it was Dr. It. A. (•unn) said that as she was still able to swal low, ono more attempt might be made, and a medicine was accordingly given her. She seemed to improve at once; in a few days her sight was restored. '1 have had a long, long sleep,' slio said, iqion recovering conscious' ness, ami i am rejoiced to say that she wns restored to perfect health wholly through the use of Warner's Hale Cure, which was the remedy we administered when she was past nil consciousness." 1 looked at Mr. Eives as he said this. His face was beaming with satisfaction, fie continued: "The physicians told us, after my wife's recovery, that she could never endure child birth, and yet wo have a tine boy nearly a year old, aiul do not know what sickness is. I attribute it to the wonderful power of Warner's Safe Cure. Why, my sister, who resides in Virginia, was, a while ago, ofllict ed precisely as my wifo had been. Jat once advised tier to use this same great remedy; it cured her promptly." "You find that it is especially adapted for women, do you!'" 1 inquired. "By no means. 1 havo known it tobo won derful in its power in the case of gentlemen to whom I Imve recommended it. I spenk froin my experience entirely,and you should not bo surprised that I am so Hrin a believer in this discovery, which has done so much for me." 1 was not surprised. I saw by every word, by every look, that Mr. Eaves meant all ho said. 1 hud ample confirmation of Dr. (iunn s letter and interview, and Ido not wonder that people who have seen such things, who have watched their dearest friends go down into the dark vailey and be brought brick into the light, should bo both enthusiastic an I grateful. I, myself, cau ;ht the spirit, an l 1 shall he glad if t le investi gations I have made prove of profit to those who may ruid them. How Niihnr Puslia Lost His Watch. On the occasion of the Empress Eu genie's visit to Cairo in 1809 Nubar Pasha was presented by Napoleon 111. with n valuable watch richly set with diamonds. This watch he was in the habit of laying before him on the tabic during the meetings of the council,which were generally held in the evening. At one of the sittings the electric light sud denly went out. When it was turned on again Nubar's watch had disappeared. The Pasha scrutinize I the faces of his colleagues one alter the other, says the National Zcitung, but not oue winced under his gaze. At length Ik; said : "Gentlemen, the watch that, accord ing to my custom, I had laying here be fore me lias been removed. The door is locked on the inside, nobody lias entered the room in the meantime and nobody has gone out. I Attribute the ioss of the watch to a bad joke or a tit of abstrac tion on the part of one of you gentlemen. 1 will now turn out the light ouce more, feeling convinced that when it is turned on again the watch will be found iu its usual place." The light was then put out. When it shone brightly a minute later, not only was the place where the watch had laiu still vacant, but Nubar's be jeweled ink stand, a present from Victor Emmanuel, had also vanished! Nubar Pasha never saw these articles again. t'tlliziir,' Street Sweepi if*. In Italian cities the cleaning of sir-ets is sold to the highest bidder at a public auction.

Can be counted on to cure Catarrh Dr. Sago's Catarrh Remedy. It's nothing now. For 2{> years it has been doing that very thing. It gives prompt and com plete relief but you want more than that. And you get it, with this Remedy there's a eure that id perfect and permanent. 'The worst chronic cases, no matter of how long standing, yield to its mild, soothing, cleansing and heal ing properties. "Cold in the Head" needs but a few applications. Ca tarrhal Headache, and all the troubles that come from Catarrh, are at once relieved and cured. You can count on something 6lse, too SSOO in cash. ■You can count on it, hut .it's more than doubtful whether you cam it. The- proprietors of Dr. Sage's Remedy, in good faith, offer that amount for an incurable easer of Catarrh. Don't think that you have one, though. They'll pay you, if tliey can't cure you. That's certain. But they can cure you. That's just about as certain, too. Can you ask more ? "German Syrup" JUDGE J. B. Iln.L, of the Superior Court, Walker county, Georgia, thinks enough of German Syrtip to send us voluntarily a strong letter endorsing it. When men of rank and education thus use and recom mend an article, what they say is worth the attention of the public. It is above suspicion. " I have used your German Syrup," he says,"for my Coughs and Colds on the Throat and Lungs. I can recommend it for them as a first-class mtdiciue."— Take no substitute. ft Som])'.o ral;0 of So&pnmt 1» i"" i lVa.ilj: lVa.ilj: llliihlrntr<(; i JniiriD i mi skin, sculp, NYrvoun WUOUBURYs«QHL Hh.l ia..iHliliMf«iic»«cnt 'fACIAL SoAPfBai',;^ tfK hE^ MnikH, MoU«, W mr^ißS xv '»r«* •»""* Ink and 112 ,V«IP l"» hr Markfl, Krare, I'll / tb»»r»«.H«t;n»-i%*«f NOMVSii (^\C/v/'|HTrtUi»u» Hair, rimt/la>. w aki) ,iw *1 "Ii II 11.
