Such articles should never be used except on pre scriptions from reputable phy sicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them, ilall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F.

Take Uall's Family Pills for con stipation. Attend to It Now. Prof. II. A. Surface, State Zoo logist, Uarrisburg, calls attention to the importance of promptly de stroying the remnants of garden plants and truck crops at this time of year, rather than leaving them 10. the gardens or fields un til spring, if destroyed now, many of their pests are destroy ed with them; if allowed to re main until spring, many of these pests have opportunity to escape. The vines of potatoes, cucum bers, squash, melons, etc., should be raked together and thrown on dry straw or brush and. burned. This gets rid of both the insect aDd fungous diseases lurking therein. The old asparagus plants should be cut off and bur ned. and straw spread over the asparagus bed and burned there on at once, to get rid of the as paragus beetles, and then the Boil containing the asparagus roots can be well mulched with a cover or litter of any kind to nrotect them during the win- - ter. It is especially important that the stalks of cabbage plants and the imperfect heads should be removed and fod to swine or cat tle, or kept in storage in cold place to feed to poultry dur ing the winther. Even the old Rtalks from which heads have been cut should be removed from the soil and treated as directad, above, or burned. Seeral kinds of pests are liable to be found upon these old stubs thereto. The best way to destroy them is to feed them to livestock or burn them. rm t wr wv ... Lubrication 1 IJ ' ' !

Aleo inakcra of Wsverly Gn.ollo.os. rorr a" p,ge book rKLL telle all about olL Winter Spraying. Pennsylvania's State Zoologist, rl. A. Surface, is respousible for the statement that the spray ing for the San Jose scale, Peach twig borers, Wooly aphis, Apple aphis, Tent caterpillar, Leaf blis ter mite and certain other in sects and diseases, whicn is gen erally done in the early spring, can be dono just as well and ef fectively at any time while the trees are dormant, without any iDjury to the trees, if the proper material is used. He says that the best material for the distruc- tion of these pests, and also one which is absolutely free from danper rjf iDjury to the trees isthe concentrated lime-sulfur solu tion, either home boiled or com mercial. If the latter is used it should be tested with a hydrome ter, such as can be had, with full directions, from the Carbondale Instrument Company, to the spe cif ic gravity tests 1 o3. The home bolted lime sulfur solution is cheaper, and chemi cally the same as the commercial. It is made by boiling two pounds of ground suliur of any kind in powdered form, with two pounds of fresh stone lime, and one gal lon of water, for one hour. Use this proportion of material to boil a larger quantity. Any vessel but copper can be used for the boiling, and requir es no expert knowledge nor skill to make it. An iron kettle or galvanized iron wash tub will do very well as a boiling vessel. Af ter it is boiled, strain it, and let it settle, and dip or drain off the clear red liquid, and store it in a barrel, or jug, or some other ves sel 'that can be kept closed. When ready to use it, dilute it with about seven times its bulk of water, or to a hydrometer test of l.o3. It can be used stronger without any injury to any bush, tree or shrub when leafless, but if used weaker may not kill the scale. The great advantage of this of ate rial is that it can be made during the winter, when one can not do other work, and can be stored and used at any time when needed. It is the same material which when dilute several times further is used as a summer spray to prevent injury by plant diseases. Lightning Kills Few. In 190G lightning killed only lG'J people in this whole country. One's chances of death by lightn ing are less than two in a million The chance of death from liver, kiduey or stomach trouble is vast ly greater, but not if Electric Bitters be used, as Robert Mad sen, or west uurnngion, ia, proved. Four doctors gave him up after eight months of suffer ing from virulent liver trouble and yellow jaundice, lie was then completely cured by Electric Bitters.

Moore completed their twentv-filth year of wed ded life. In the evening about twenty persons assembled at A their home Sharpsburg, Pa., in honor of the happy event. Eu chre, nve bundrod and music were the diversions of the occa sion. An elegant supper was served. Mrs. Moore's maiden name was Miss Susie Hull, and she lived in Fulton county, until she married Mr. Moore, who has been a life lonjrrpsidentotSharpoiT-c To this union oue child, au rccuin phshed daughter, Miss Elda, was born.

To ascertain the time nt nfclit the Apiiclio Indians employed a pourd on which the stars of the heavens were marked. As the constellations rose in the eky the Indian referred to his gourd and found out the hour. By turning the gourd around lie could tell tho order in which tlio c'rtnstellations might be expected to appear. The hill people of Assam reckon time and distance by the number of quids of betel nut chewed. It will be remembered how, according to Washington Irving, the Dutch colo nial assembly was invariably dis missed at the last puff of tho third pipe of tobacco tf Governor Wouter Van Twiller. A Montagnis Indian of Canada will set up a tall stick in the snow when traveling ahead of friends who are to follow. He marks with his foot the line of shadow cast, and by the change in the angle of the shad ow tho oncoming party can tell on arriving at tho spot about how far ahead the leader is. Harper's Weekly. THE AMERICAN FAMILY . The American people, almost in stinctively, have turned away from the old domestic policy. A large fam ily implies a home in tho old-fashioned sense, but the urban life of America necessitates a departure from tho homo as thus defined. Tho cramped apartment, with those min istering angels, tho kitchenette, tho aker, tho laundryman and delicates sen shop, are not adapted to numorous children. Children often are not wanted. In fact, a man with a larra family finds it difficult even to se cure living accommodations in many cities. Thus, in great numbers of communities, tho social order has passed beyond the conviction that the large family is a normal and nec essary condition, and has adapted itself to a scalo of living based on small families, or on none at all.

British India with Ceylon is first and China second. Java is rapidly gaining on Japan, for tho cultivation of tea is increas ing steadily and the product is gain ing in quality. Java tea can now bo kept for upward of two years and even improves in flavor by the keep ing. This has been found out already in Australia.
