J'ii® Amusing '• Itntilo of the Boards. It is no proof that a man is not a good ' istorian simply because he knowa noth ing of the Battle of the Boards. The event belongs to Kentucky history, antl Collins, quoting from the autobiogtaphy of Dr. J. J, I'olk, iu which Colonel James Ray is represented as telling this particular story, gives it as follows: ".Vbout 1783, when the Indians still r.ived the forests, plundering and mur during the whites, three men left Har row's Station to search for horses which had strayed off. They pursued the trail through the rich pea-vine and cane for some miles. Frequently they saw signs of Indians in their vicinity, and moved with cautious steps. They continued to search until darkness, aud a colli rain drove them to the shelter of a deserted log cabin, thickly surrounded by cane ond matted over with vines. They determined not to strike a light, as the Indians knew the location of the cabin, and, like themselves, might seek its friendly shelter and dispute their right to uossession. They concluded to ascend into the loft of the cabin, the floor of which was clap boards resting upon round poles. In their novel possession they lay down silently, side by side, each man holding his trusty rifle in his arras. They bad not been in this perilous position long when six well armed Indians en tered the cabin, placed their guns and other implements of war and hunting in a corner, struck a light aud began to make the usual demonstration of joy on mich occasions. One of our heroes de termining to know the number of the Indians—he was the middle man of the three, and lying on his back—as hilarity and mirth grew noisier, attempted to turn over and get a peep at things be low. His comrades held him, to keep him from turning over; in the struggle one of the poles broke, and with a tremendous crash the clapboards and the men fell into the midst of the affrighted Indians, who, with a yell of terror fled from the house, leaving their guns— never returned. The scarcely less terri fied whites remained in quiet possession of the cabin, and iu the morning re turned to th(? stntion with their trophies. Whenever the three heroes met iu aftei life they laughed immoderately over theii strange deliverance, and what they called the Battle of the Boards."—Uourier- Jourual. llrtigs lor E uicrgeiicles. The list of drugs that will raise the body temperature is not very extended, but many of them have powerful actions in this respect and a general knowledge of thein is of value to every intelligent person. In sudden emergencies when the temperature drops far below the normal they may prove of inestimable value. The most common thing used for this purpose is alcohol when given in small doses, but the effect on the temperature is only temporary, followed generally by a reactive tendency which carries the temperature the other way. The drug that is the most powerful in this respect is belladonna, which will rapidly raise the temperature of tlie body. Similar to this the so-called chloride of gold, which if pushed to its highest effect w ill not only rise the temperature, but cause the so-called '•auric fever." The body temperature is also increased quite safely by cocaine, caffeine, aud compounds of drugs con taining them. When administered in large doses, phosphorous will likewise cause a marked elevation iu the tem perature. These are re 11 ly the most im portant agents containing this peculiar property, and they are generally the. ones to be relied upon in sudden emergencies. —Yankee Blade.

The size of the particles of a soil largely determines its water-holding capacity, and thereby its fitness for cer tain crops. M. Whitney, of the Mary land station (R. '01), is investigating farm soils in the well-equipped labora tories of Johns Hopkins University, un der the supervision of the station, and aided by the United States Department of Agriculture. Tho accuracy and thoroughness of the investigation is a credit to American science. Among other results, it was found that no crop can be successfully grown, unless highly manured or iirigated, on a soil having so few as 1,700,000,000 particles in a teaspoonful weighing n gram. Good market truck is grown on a soil having (1,808,003,000 particles in a gram, To bacco soil coutaius 8,258,000,000 par ticles, wheat soil has 10,358,000,000 particles, and limestone grass land con tains 24,653,000,000 particles in one gram.—American Agriculturist. FLAX MEAI, FOR CALVES. At the lowa station experiments have been in progress to determine the feed ing value of ground flaxseed for young calves. A bull aud heifer calf of both ilolstein and Shorthorn breeds were chosen,the two bulls being fed on whole milk, and the two lieifera on milk skimmed after being set twelve hours, with as much flaxseed as they could as similate without scouring. These ex periments lasted through three months, the calves being weighed every fifteen days. The results indicate: 1. That a ration of skim milk and ground flaxseed com pare favorably with a new milk ration for young calves—2. The skim milk and , flaxseed meal fed calves were less in terupled in their prowth by weaning thau were the whole milk calves—3. A saving value of butter fat alone at sl.ll per month on each calf, was effected by substituting the ground flaxseed—i. The cost of producing a pound of gain, estimating new milk at 87J cents per hundred pounds, skitn milk at 15 cents per hundred pounds, grain 1 cent per pound,hay $5 per ton (the latter two being fed alike to both lots),and flaxseed meal cents per pound, was 7.0 cents per pound increase with the fresh milk ration, and only five cents with tho skim milk ration. It seems, therefore, more economical to feed calves skim milk and flaxseed thnn with whole milk.—Ameri can Dairyman. now TO DEHORN. Horns on my cattle are a thing of the past, writes Waldo F. Brown. Every calf I raise now is treated when a week or so old, and the horns are killed. I get a stick of caustic potash at the drug store; throw the calf on its side, so as to hold it easily, and wet tho hair on a spot the size of a half dollar over tho embryo horn,and then rub on the potash thoroughly. When I began using the potash I did not rub it on long enough, and I got one or two one horned ani mals; now I rub till tho hair comes off, aud the blood begins to start through the skin, and it represses the horns ef fectually. . I would not use any liquid preparation of potash, as there is dan ger of its running down where it is not wanted, or being spilled by a sudden movement of the calf; I never tried the liquid but once, and came near putting out an eye. Be careful not to get the stick potash on your lingers; wrap sev eral thicknesses of paper or cloth around it. The dehorning of grown cattle is a simple process; tak. s but a few seconds if the cow is properly fastened, and 1 do not think it is very painful, for the cattle begin to eat as soon as the horns are off, aud cows do not shrink in their i milk at all. I dehorned the first week in June a ilolstein that was boss of the herd, aud from bein.; kept in a small lot, I hail become entirely too htndy with her | horns, opening gates aud doors. Since her horns were taken off she has become a most proper aud lespectable cow ; the smallest heifer in the herd makes her walk away from her feed, or drivel her where she pleases. Tho saw is much better, 1 think, than nipper*; the latter is likely to crush the bone uud prevent healing so quickly. The ouly applica tion we made after sawing was to fill the cavities with wheat ilour, and although it was hot weather an I fly time, tlie wounds healed over iu a tew days.— New Vol Is Tribuue.

The variety best suited for pickling is the Green Prolific. The time tor sowing the seed is usually about the middle of July. In planting, the ground should be marked out four feet each way, a deep furrow being made so as to leave room for a good shovelful of rich compost at each intersection. This should be worked in with the spade or hoe and the ground leveled. Five or six seeds are enough for each hill, which will require between one and two pounds per acre. When the plants arc well started and all danger from insects is past, they should be thinned out to three or four plants to the hill. An experienced cucumber grower recommends that when the seed is sown a broadcast dressing of three or four hundred pounds of Peruvian guano per acre should be applied, as that fertilizer seems to have an especially good effect on the crop. By the addition of four hundred pounds of guano, costing sls, to the previous preparation, over three hundred thousand cucumbers to the acre were obtained, which is double the average yield. As the crop was sold for $1.50 per thousand, the expenditure of sls added nearly S2OO to the price re ceived per acre. The cultivation required is to keep the soil loose by frequent stirring until the vines cover the ground. Th 9 main vines should be pinched at the ends to keep them within bounds and encourage the growth of lateral branches, which a-e the most prolific of fruit, as they bear chiefly pistillate blossoms, while those of the main branches are mostly stamenate or barren flowers. The fruit should be gathered every morning as soon as it has reached the proper size, from two to three inches in length. The principal enemies of the cucumber are lice, which prey upon the leaves,and the striped beetle and its larrw. Tho former may be dealt with by picking off the first infested leaves, by which the rapid spread of the pest may be pre vented. The striped beetle should be treated with a dusting of finoly grouud gypsum; its larvas, a small, slender, white worm, which gnaws into the roots, may be successfully combatted by pour ing about tho roots of the plant a mix ture of one gill of kerosene oil with a solution of one pound of common yellow soap in one gallon of hot water, tho whole being shaken into an emulsion. This has been found an effectual remedy. —New York Mail and Express. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. By tho way, how clean do you keep your cows' udders? The farmer or dairyman who allows weeds to taint his pastures is not a suc cess. If fowls have a large range now, the grain feud may be cut to once a day. Let them hustle for the rest thoy have. If the milk can is old and corroded with rust, buy a new one for the milk, use the rusty one to bring whey from the factory. Keep your chickens growing from the shell, and they will be ready for the table or market any time after ten or twelve weeks of age. The good layers are active and gen erally on the move and scratching About —are the first birds out in the morning and the last to roost at nic;ht. Does it cost more to raise 1000 pounds of flesh in the form of poultry than it does to raise 1000 pounds in the form of beet? Which sells for the most? The agricultural experiment stations and dairy schools ought, in each State, to note the appearance and spread of weeds that cause an unpleasant flavor in milk. The wet season makes very "slushy" grass. The cows, tho milk aud the but ter will be better if some grain is fed. Itran is better than corn inusl for hct weather feed. The Malta bees are noted for the purity and delicious flavor of their honey. They extract most of it from sulla, or clover, of which there is an ex tensive crop. Do not feeil a lot of cockerels till they become "old roosters," then sell on the general nnrket. It is ha*d to make them pass as "spring chicken" even if the dealer cuts off. Clover is valuable in tho winter feel, ing of hogs as well as for summer pas ture. Stow away a little that is cut young and nicclv cure 1, aud feed it tb the stock hogs that you carry over. M any horses that are uuruly and have bad dispositions are made so by bad treatment when they are colts. Gentle ness is a first requisite in training and educatiug the colt for future usefulness. The dairyman who feeds only homo product*, corn folder md corn meal, for instance, does pot always practice econ omy. Better vary this one-sided ration by exchanging some coru for linseed uteal.

Not only will the mending be more satisfactory, but the strain on the eyes will not be so great. Sometimes the lace is only torn and does not need to be filled out with lace stitchss as when part of the pattern is destroyed. In such cases the edge? of the tear are only to bo drawn gently to gether with silk or linen that matches the lace in fineness, color and material. The stitch used in sewing leather balls is best tor such work. It consists in first putting tho needle in one side and carrying it across to the other, back and forth, inserting the needle each time on the under side.—New York Post. WAY TO ENJOY SPINACH. Almost everybody likes to eat spinach. And if properly cooked it is very good. Just try it. Chop one quart of boiled spinach finely and put it into a flat sauce pan with four spoonfuls of cream. Re duce it on a brisk fire and then set it on the side of the fire. Season with pepper, salt and nutmeg and add a small piece of butter and the yolks of eight raw eggs. Mix the whole well together and set it aside to get cold. Then put some clari fied butter in a frying pan and drop the spinach into it, one spoonful at a timo, and manage it so that they will not touch each other. Fry them nicely on both sides, then serve on a napkin aud garnish with fried parsley.—New York Commer cial Advertiser. CARE OF TIIE REFRIGERATOR. The care of the refrigerator is one ol the most important duties of the house wife at all seasons of the year. In hot weather, however, a week's noglect is often productive of very serious results. Nothing should prevent the regular per sonal supervision of tho housekeeper at least once a week. If the refrigerator be a movable one, it should have tree access of suu and air. When the day for the weekly scrubbing arrives take everything out and remove shelves, slats and ice rack. Scrub each one heroically with hot soapsuds in which a plentiful supply of washing soda has been dis solved. Afterwards scald with a kettle ful of clean, boiling water, wipe thor oughly and place in the sun to dry. While they are drying return to tho re frigerator and scrub out the ice chamber. Do not forget to run a flexible wire tlown the pipe to seo that it is not stopped up with decaying matter. Next pour a kettle of strong, boiling soda water in the ice chamber and down the pipe. Wipe all dry. Continue this pro cess till all the walls are thoroughly cleansed. Leave tho refrigerator open for awhile for a good airing, thou return the ice and food, and go about the rest of your work with a clear conscience.— New York News. SOME SAUCES AND RELtSHES.

A GREAT TRIUMPH FOR CANADIAN M ERICA I. HCIENCE. I'AHTICULARS OF ONE OF THIt MOST REMARK ABLE CURES ON RECORD DBSCRIB "D BY THE DETROIT NEWS—A STORY WORTH A CAREFUL PERUSAL. {(Detroit News.) The following; paragraph, which appears 1 in the New* a short time ago, furnished the basis of this information—a case that was «o wonderfully remarkable that It demand* I further explanation. It ir of snfllcient im portance to the News' reader.-, to report it to them fully. It was so important then that it attracted considerable attention at the time. The following is the paragraph in question: "C. B. Northrop, for 28 years one of the best known merchants on Woodward ave nue, who wns supposed to be dyinj; last •prinir of locomotor ataxia, or creeping paralysis, ha" s"cure I a new lease of life and returned to work at his store. Thedlseas has a'ways been supposel to he incurable, I ut Mr. Nnrthrop's condition is greatly im proved, and it looks now as if the grave w< uld be cheated of its prey." ISince that time Mr. Northrop has steadily improved, not only in loo'ig, but in condition, till he has regained his old-time strength. It had been hinted to the writer ot this article, who was acquainted with Mr. Northrop, that this miraculous change ha 1 been wrought by a very simple remedy called Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo ple. When asked about it Mr. Northrop fully verified the statement, an 1 not only so, but he had taken pains to inform any one who was suffering in a similar manner whtn ho heard of any such case. Mr. Northrop was enthusiastic nt the result in his own case of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. It was a remedy that he had heard of after he had tried everything he could hope to give him relief. He had been in the care of tho best physicians who did all I hay could to alleviate this terrible malady, but without any avail. He had given up hope, when a friend in Lockport, N. Y., wrote him of the case of a person there who had been cured in similar circumstances by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. The person curel at Lockport had obtained his information respecting Dr. Williams' Pink Pills from an article published in the Hamilton, Out., Times. The case wns called "The Hamilton Mirncle'' and told the story of a man in that city who, after nlmost incredible suffering, was pro nounced ty the mosteminent physicians to h ' incurable and permanently disabled. He had spent hundreds of dollar* in ail sorts of treatment and appliances only to be told in the end that there was no hope for him, and that cure wns impossible. The person al luded to (Mr. John Marshall, of '.25 Little William St., Hamilton, 0nt.,1 was a mem ber of the Koynl Templars of Temperance, and after having been pronounced perma nently disabled and incurable by the physi cians, was paid the flOOOflis ibility insurance provided by the or.ler for its members in such cases. For years Mr. Marshall had been utterly helpless, and was barely able to drag himself around his house with the aid of crutches. His agonies were nlmost unbear able and Hie was a burden to him, when at last relief came. Some months after he had been paid the disability claim he heard of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and was induced to try them. The result was miraculous; almost from the outset an improvement was noticed, and in a few months the man whom medical exports had said was incurable, was going about the city healthier and stronger than before. Mr. Marshall was so well known in Hamilton that all the city newspapers wrote up his wonderful recovery in detail, and it was thus, as before stated, that Mr. Northrop came into possession of the information that led to his equally marvelous recovery. One could scarcely conceive a case more hopeless than that of Mr. Northrop. His injury came about In this way: One day, neurly four years ago, he stumbled and fell the complete length of a steep flight of stairs which were at the rear of his store. His head and spine were severely injured. Ho was picked up and taken to his home. Creep ing paralysis very soon developed itself, and in spite of the most strenuous efforts of friends and physicians the ter' rihle affliction fastened itself up >n him. For nearly two years he was perfectly* helpless. He could do nothing to sup port his strength in the least effort. He had to be wheeled aliout in ail invalid's chair. Ho was weak, pale and fast sinking when his timely information cam/ that veritably snatched his life from tho jaws o£ death. Those who at that time saw a feeble old man wheeled into his store on an invalid's chair would not recognise the man now, so great is the change that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have wrought. When Mr. Northrop learned of the remedy that had cured Mr. Marshall in Hamilton, nnd the person in Lockport, he procured a supply ot Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through Messrs. Bassett <& I/Hontine dieu, Woodward avenue, and from the outset lound an improvement. He faithfully adhered to tlie use of the remedy until now he is completely restored. Mr. Northrop declares that there can be no doutit us to Pink Puis being the cause of his restoration to health, as all other remedies ami medical treatment left him in aeon lition rapidly go ing from bad to worse, until ar last it was declared there was no hope for him and he was pronounced incurable. He was in this terrible condition when he bogan to use Dr. Williams' I'ink Pills, and they have restored him to health. Mr. Northrop was asked what was claimed for this wonderful remedy, nud replied that he understood that .ho proprietors claim it to be a blood builder and nerve restorer; supplying in a condensed form all the ele ments neeeisary to enrich tho blood, restore shattered nerves an t drive out disease. It is claimed by the proprietors that Pink Pills will cure paralysis, rheumatism, sciatica, palpitation of the heart, headache, and all diseases peculiar to females, lo<sof appetite, dizziness, sleeplessness lon, of memory, and all diseases arising from overwork, mental worry, loss of vital force, etc. "I want to say," said Mr. Northrop, "that 1 don't have much faith in patent medlciues, but I cannot say too much in favor of Dr. Williams' I'ink fills. The proprietors,how ever, claim that they are not a patent med icine in the sense in which that term is used, hut a highly scientific preparation, the re sult of years of careful study and experi ment on the part of the proprietors, an I tho pills were successfully used in private practice for yoars before being plaoed for general sale. Mr. Northrop declares that he is u livin/ ex ample that there is nothing to eautl these pills as a cure for aervediseases. ()n inquiry the writer touud that these pills were man ufactured by Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Schenectady, N Y . and RrnkTilb. tint., and tbe pills are sold in boxes (never in buls by the hundredi, at fcl cents a box. au i may l>e had of all druggist. or direct t>y null frwm Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., from eith ir above addresses.
