A Dream of Bappinoa* Wky be followed by a morning of "La Grippe.* Easily, and why? Because the displacement of covering in bed, a neglected draught from a partly closed window, an open transom connected with a windy entry in a hotel, may convey to your nostrils and lungs the death-dealing blast. Terrible and swift are the inroads made by this new destroyer. The medicated alcoholic principle in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will check the dire complaint. A persistence in this preventive of its further development will absolutely checkmate the dangerous malady. Unmedicated alcoholic stimulants are of little or no value. Thb just medium is the Bitters. Not less efficacious is it in cases of malaria, biliousness, constipation, rheumatism, dyspepsia and kidney trouble. The weak are usually those upon whom disease fastens first, invigorate with the Bitters. A Bad Flace to Die ln> A wandering son of Thespis, writing to this paper from a wild place in the wild West, says: “Last week a man was killed here in a street encounter. The coroner who sat on the body appropriated to his own use a diamond pin found in,the shirt front of the dead man. The sheriff came in and swapped watches with the corpse, leaving a $4 Waterbury instead of an elegant gold time piece. The judge who tried the murder case, finding a pistol on the remains, fined it the sum of S3O for carrying concealed weapons, which amount he took from a roll of bills in the dead man’s trousers. This is an actual fact. [ —New Orleans Picayune. * GO AND VIEW THE LAND. Three Cheap Harvest Excursions.

A new method of ventilating railroad carriages and preventing dust from entering with the air has appeared in France. The more quickly the train moves the more rapidly the apparatus works. The air is made to traverse a receptacle containing water, which cools it and relieves its dust, after which it goes through another filtering before entering the carriage. «• % *»r-— « r ‘ZZXrTif Jp-—— .. Checked —the frightful inroads of Scrofula and all blood-taints. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery purifies and enriches the blood, cleanses the system of all impurities, and restores health and strength. It cures all diseases arising from impure blood. Consumption is one of them. It’s simply lung-scrofula. In all its earlier stages, the “ Discovery ” effects a cure. It’s easy to see why. The medicine that masters scrofula in one part, is the best remedy for it in another. It is the best. It’s warranted. It’s the only blood and lung remedy that’s guaranteed to benefit or cure, or the money will be refunded. No other medicine of its class does it. How many would be left if they did ? It’s the cheapest blood-purifier, sold through druggists, (no matter how many doses are offered for a dollar,) because you only pay for the good you get. Your money is returned if it’ doesn’t benefit or cure you. Can you ask more?

HOME AND THE FARM. A DEPARTMENT MADE UP FOR OUR RURAL. FRIENDS. They Neglected the Swamps—How Farmers Could Unite for Mutual Benefit—Pure Water of the Right Temperature for Stock—A Convenient Arrangement for the Tired Housewife, Low .Lands. IjK— X XNE of the greatMr '1 Cl est mistakes made f.i «. by the early set111/tuV tiers in our hilly Vi country was in clearing * the high lands andneglectJ. ’ 1 th® swam P s * mK "v —4 Th® result has been disastrous in ‘ many ways. On > man y °f the rocky idlSjiwlinl summits where I II ff/ there was soil and jN'Xyfir JL- // vegetable matter enough to support - a forest, the fire has followed the ax and the vegetable matter has been consumed and the sand either blown or washed away, and were it not tor a few of the remains of the large stumps no one would suppose that the spot was ever anything else than a naked ledge. On other hills where there were no rocks the sand is drifting like the snow, and on some farms there are many acres of this shifting sand that a warranty deed will not hold and that is being conveyed without any legal process. On hills where the soil is between these extremes, the process of exhaustion is more gradual, but just as sure. And now that the high lands are exhausted and denuded some farmers are prevented from clearing up their low lands by the fact that they are all they can- depend on for woodlots. But the time is coming when the deep, black deposits of vegetable matter which we call muck-bogs, as well the intermediate strips between them and the dry lands, will be cleared and improved, and other conditions of the farm will be made to conform to the change. These border lands between the high lands and the swamps are in many cases of the least value, because they are harder to subdue. The growth upon them is largely spruce, fir, and cypress and the soil is white or rusty sand, with a few inches of black soil above it, and as soon as the trees are cut off swamp moss will cover the ground and seeds will blow in and start a new forest. An Everlasting Fence. The best and cheapest fence on my farm I built seventeen j.ears ago, and it is still good. The posts are cedar, set eight feet apart with the end of the timber which naturally stood up placed down. This is the way to make the fence: Let the posts go in the ground thirty inches and project four and onefourth to five feet above ground. Atop rail of two by four scantling is to be mortised into the corners of the posts and nailed fast. White oak pins are turned uniformly one inch in diameter and inserted in holes bored in every other post. They must be previously well seasoned and soaked in boiled oil. The holes must be bored in the posts at the exact point where the wire is to pass it. To get the holes exactly right with the least trouble, it is the best plan to first bore a board for a pattern. Now lay a wire along the line of posts, coil one end of it around a pin and drive the pin in until its head imbeds the wire in the post. Then drive a staple over the end of the wire. Now, with one man to handle and drive the pins and another to gtretch the wire by means of a crowbar or wire-stretcher each time a pin is driVen, fifty rods of fence may be hung in one day. I use five wires under the scantling. Each time after a pin is driven the wire is slackened to allow it to be twisted about another pin. These pins are only placed on every second post, the wires being stapled to the intervening posts. The cost is as follows: Two cedar posts at 15 cents, 30 cents; five plain wires, No. 12, 15 cents; five oak pins, 5 cents; scantling, 13 cents; labor, 37 cents. Total, sl. The wire rarely or never breaks, as its contraction and expansion are taken care of by these pins.—[George W. Humphrey, Onondaga County, New York. Simple Bag*Holder.

Co-Operation ot Farmers. There seems to be quite a tendency among farmers, of late years, to form closer unions for mutual benefit. First, farmers’ clubs were organized; then came the G'ranges;thenFarmers’ Alliance, etc., all calculated to increase the power and influence of the farming class by union and combination. The principle of co-operation might be greatly extended among farmers with good results. Since so many kinds of farm: implements and machinery have come tc be substituted for manual labor small farmers labor under a disadvantage unless able to invest quite a large capital in labor-saving machinery. If able to make the investment the limited use to which each machine can be applied on a small farm of 40, 50 or 80 acres hardly saves enough labor to pay interest and wear of machines. t Now, if a dozen farmers owning together 600, 800 or 1,000 acres of land could unite and ’.purchase all necessary farm machinery it would greatly reduce the cost to each individual, while serving their purposes nearly as well as if everyone owned all the machines. Os course,, they would need to eliminate something of human selfishness, and allow the one who most needed the use of the machines to have the first use. If only a broad, liberal, manly, Christian spirit were always cherished small farmers could, in many ways, co-operate to mutual advantage. LIVE STOCK. Water for Farm Animals. The water supply is a matter of prime importance to the stockman. Without an abundance of pure water of an agreeable temperature, farm animals cannot remain healthy, or make a highly profitable gain of flesh, or yield of milk or of wool. J. M. Stohl in the Practical Farmer, tells how to arrange a well and windmill so that the animals at all times may have fresh water of an agreeable temperature. The diagram

shows how this highly desirable result is accomplished; a is the tank, which should hold eigl\t to ten barrels; cis the well. The curb, the lower part of tbe tower supporting the wind-wheel, and the pump, can be at once distinguished; b is what is known as the reefing bucket —a bucket of two or three gallons capacity, having a small hole in the botgHi tom. It is suspended to the rod that passes through the curb, and throws the mill in or out of gear. When the tank is nearly full, water flows from it into the reefing bucket, through the pipe shown in the cut leading from near the top of the tank to the reefing bucket When the reefing bucket is filled, its weight pulls the mill out of gear, and, of course, stops the pumping. A small pipe leads from tbe bottom of the tank into the well, as shown in the cut It is of such capacity that it will just abput empty the tank until the water has drained out of the reefing bucket through the small hole in its bottom. As the reefing bucket becomes nearly empty, its weight is not sufficient to keep the mill out of gear, and the pumping again begins, and is kept up until the tank is filled. The water again flows from the tank to th< reefing bucket, and the pump is stopped as before. Os course, the flow of water from |he tank to the reefing bucket stops as soon as the water sinks a little in the tank. If animals come to drink, there is no flow in the reefing bucket, and of course the pump keeps at work until the animals have drank what they want, and the tank is filled. That the drawing may be plain, all this apparatus is represented as above ground. In fact, the tank is usually banked around with earth, and the pipes are below the surface. By this arrangement, the animals have cool water in summer, and water of a considerably higher temperature than the freezing point in winter. Stopcocks make'iteasy to stop the working of this apparatus whenever its stoppage is desirable.

THE DAIRY. Stopping the Churn. It is very important to stop churning at the right time. Churning after tbe butter has come will injure the butter. These round grains are solid butter; there is no milk in them, the milk is around these grains. At this stage the milk is easily washed from the butter. Never put your hands in the butter. Draw the buttermilk off, put enough cold water in the churn to float the butter, revolve the churn a few times, or agitate it by shaking or rocking it gently; draw off the water and repeat the washing with pure cold water three times, and the milk will all be washed out.* Put one-half ounce of dairy salt to the pound, work the salt in only enough to get the water out; the less butter is worked the better. It is impossible to work all the milk out of butter, but it is no trouble to wash it out. Water and butter will not mix; the water is easily worked out. Unnecessary working mashes the grain and ruins the butter, continuous working, mixing and smearing changes it from butter to grease, causes it to lose its flavqr, and ruins its keeping qualities, and very soon it will assume a cheesy smell and taste, and later on it will have a very pronounced and repellant odor.—[Dairy World. Dairy Notes. Some dairymen claim that oat straw makes butter bitter. It is said that hay, beets and carrots give a good flavor to butter. Take care that no impure air reaches the milk, for it is very easily tainted. After milk is set it should be lowered to 50 or 55 degrees as quickly at possible. Within the last five years the export of oleomargarine has doubled and now amounts to 2,500,000 tubs annually. In- Cheboygan County., Wisconsin, two of the cheese factories have each employed a young lady to take charge of their affairs. IN washing the butter keep a close watch on it and stop when it is washed enough. There is just as much danger of washing too much as there is of not washing enough. Dairy and Food Commissioner Harkness, of Wisconsin, is making war on the dealers of milk in Milwaukee that have been defrauding their customers with skimmed or watered milk. The Commissioner has the good wishes of every honest man. A contboversity is agitating the cheese making world, the bone of contention being whether it is advisable to allow a part of the cream to be taken from the milk when the percentage of butter-fat is so great that the rennet cannot “grasp” all of it It might do to partially skim the milk in certain cases, were it not for the fact that ordinary human nature is not to be trusted. The dairyman should be to some extent a veterinarian, at least enough to be able to tell when his cow is sick and what is the matter with her. Many times milk is sold from a sick cow for days before he is aware that anything is the matter with her. Thus the germs ot tuberculosis and other deadly diseases become scattered through the community, and there is no knowing how much sickness and death have been caused by this ignorance.—[Farmers’ Review. THE POULTRY YARD. Poultry and tbe Farm Boys. We will venture to assert that if each boy is given a flock of fowls, if only Bantams, and he alone have the management of them, and the receipts—a very important adjunct—the flock 'of fowls will cause the boy to take an interest in farming from the start Let him become accustomed tb the breed and he will soon learn the points of all breeds. And he will not stop there. He will aim to know the breeds of cattle, sheep, horses, and hogs. He will look forward to the exhibitions at the county fairs, and strive to win prizes. He will have a love for the farm bred in him from the start, and when he is a-man he will yearp for the happy days spent on the farm, and he will go back to it if he cap, should he be induced away. When one- becomes interested in poultry on the farm he becomes educated to an interest in everything else. As soon as your boy can manage them, give him a few Bantams, and after he is older start him with some pure breed of standard size. It Is the best plan for teaching the boy to remain on the farm. —[Mirror. Clean Eggs, One of the finest things for a poultryman to learn, says the Toronto Blade, is the fact that soiled and dirty eggs should never be sent to market. Many of the eggs that come in are filthy—the shells frequently stained with mud or manure. Fastidious people—the only ones who are willing to pay a "fancy” price—will never buy such eggs if they

can help IL Clean Wie eggs before they come to market. It will pay you well to do so. Poultry Notus. When you get ready to fatten the fowls do the work quickly. Tabbed paper Is recommended for a lining to poultry houses. Fob the prevention of roup some poultry keepers scatter air-slaked lime over the ground and floors of the poultry houses. Remembeb that sulphur is a powerful fungicide and insecticide. Therefore use it freely around and in the nests, and in any other place where you think it will do good. Do not expect any breed to lay equally well in summer and in winter. If you insist on a good supply ot eggs from November till February, then select a breed noted for the ability to lay in the winter. 11 Do not expect everything of one breed. The raising of ducks is only in its infancy in this country. The time will perhaps come when that fowl will be raised as extensively as in China. One of the best reasons for extending the breeding of ducks is the fact that they are less liable to disease than any other breed o£ fowl. THE HOUSEHOLD. *■ Help for the Tired.

of going out in the cold, or any over-ex-ertion by carrying it. A zinc-lined box is mounted on heavy brackets at the top of the kitchen, or, still better, on the floor of the attic. The heavy pipe shown leads from a spring or well into it, or it may be made very large in the attic and supplied from the eaves. If the well be depended upon a force pump will be needed. . When water has risen in the box to a certain level it flows out of the surplus pipe shown. The pipe running to the sink comes out of the bottom of the box and can drain off all the water it holds, when it will at once fill again. On a large scale, supplying the whole house, the plan is an excellent, but costly one. To fix for the kitchen alone is simple and attended with little expense. A five-gallon can in which castor oil came, can be bought at a drug store for 10 cents. The housewife will gladly wash it clean. Then a little work, a few. feet of galvanized pipe and joints and a borrowed pipe wrench will complete a job which may save a doctor’s or an undertaker’s bill and the most precious member of any American ho'me.—[Hollister Sage, in Rural New Yorker. >■ Things Worth Knowing. Clean piano-keys with a soft rag dipped in alcohol. To clean a black silk dress, use a sponge dipped in strong black tea, cold. Take egg stains from silver by rubbing with a wet rag which has been dipped in common table salt To clean a teakettle, take it away from the fire and wash off with a rag dipped in kerosense, followed by a rubbing with a dry flapnel cloth. To clean ceilings that have been blackened by smoke from a lamp, wash off with rags that have been dipped in soda water. . To mend cracks in stoves and stovepipes, make a paste of ashes and salt with water, and apply. A harder and more durable cement is made of iron fillings, sal ammoniac and water. THE KITCHEN. Domestic Hints. Drawn Butter.—Rub together two tablespoonfuls butter, one of flour; add just a trifle of cold water, then some boiling water, until proper consistency, little salt. 808 two minutes. Raspberry Syrup.—On three quarts of red raspberries pour 1 pints of cider vinegar, and let stand twenty-four hours. Strain, and to each pint of the liquid add a pound of granulated sugar; scald twenty minutes, skim and bottle, sealing tightly. Boiled Macaroni.—Put macaroni into a porcelain-lined kettle; add a small onion chopped; boil in water about half an hour, stirring often. When tender add pieces of cheese; take away from the fire, cover tight, and let the cheese melt before serying. Delicate Custard. —Pour one pint of boiling milk over the yolks of threeeggs, beaten with three tablespoonsful of sugar; flavor with vanilla or nutmeg, stir in the stiff whites, and bake in a moderate oven. Set the dish in a pan of water while baking. Omelette with Bread Crumbs.— Take eight eggs and one teacup of bread crumbs soaked in milk. Beat the eggs the same way as for the plain omelette, Put the bread crumbs into a bowl and pour all toe milk on them that they will tage up. Stir them with the yolks of the eggs and a little salt; then add the whites and proceed as for plain omelette. Black Raspberry Pudding.—Fill a dish with soft, white bread, broken into inch pieces. Stew one quart qf black caps, squeeze through cheese cloth, sweeten to taste, heat again and pour it hot over the bread, using as much as the bread will absorb. Beat the whites of three eggs stiff, add three tablespoonfuls sugar. Pile it lightly on a buttered plate the same size as the pudding dish, brown it slightly and slip it off on the pudding. Serve cold. Charleston Rice Pudding. —Boil half a teacupful of rice drv; beat five eggs well, whites and yellows together; add to the nee, with sugar to suit the taste, a pint of sweet milk, a heaping teaspoonful of corn starch, and any flavoring preferred. Pour in an earthen baking dish, and put little pinches of butter all over the top. Bake an hour; and if the pudding browns too quickly, set a pan of boiling water on the top rack of the stove, just over the dish. One point as to the skunk. It is a well-ascertained fact that many asthmatic patients find relief from smelling the odor of this—to most people—hateful quadruped. I have known cases where asthmatic people would stay for half an hour in a fur warehouse after the arrival of recently-killed skunks and depart relieved, so that the latter make some posthumous atonement for their inodorous lives.—lF.

■ot Wit Saved Bor. ■ The advice usually given, "Keep coot in danger 1 Don’t let your wits desert youi” is good as far as it goes. But more effective, perhaps, will be an illustration of how a woman once saved her life by her cool courage, which allowed her wits to devise the plan that thwarted a madman: A lady was sitting in her parlor in Paris at dusk one evening, when a man entered, and without ceremony seated himself. He had probably obtained entrance to the house as a patient, for the lady’s husband was a doctor. She was astonished atnis boldness, but still more at his personal appearance. His face was haggard, his eyes wild and his dress disordered. After he had gazed at her for a* few moments, she said, “If you wish to see the doctor” i “I am a doctor,” he interrupted, with a wave of his hand. “I have heard that iou are a great sufferer from headaches. have come to cure you! ” The lady became now really terrified, for she suspected the true character of her visitor. Her husband was out. There were no servants on her floor, and she could not call any, for the man had seated himself near the bell-cord. Without betraying her fear, however, she replied: “It is true that lam subject to headaches, but how can you cure them?” “It is simply done,” said he, glaring at her. “I propose to cut off your head, examine your brains and turn them over. Then I shall replace them and put your head back upon your shoulders.” The lady turned deadly pale. Alone with a madman, and threatened with a horrible death I The maniac detected the change. “You need not feaTj3 said he; “my remedy is painless. But come, we must be quick I” So saying, he rose and moved toward her. She rose, too, and with a calmness, assumed by a tremendous effort of will, said, “But, sir, blood will flow and my dress may be spoiled; permit me to bring a towel from the next room.” The lunatic made a gesture of assent, and she retired to an adjoining apartment. From this she reached the stairs and informed the police, who came and. secured the maniac. “Sam, you are getting pretty well along in years,” said an Austin lawyer to an aged darkey; “don’t you feel afraid you will die some day ?” “No, boss, I isn’t a bit afraid of death. It’s how to scrub along and get a libbin’ in dis worl’ what’s boderin’ me, heah, heah I” “Don’t you think you will kinder wince when old man Death knocks at the door and says, ‘Come along, Sam, we have got use for you in the other world ?’ ” “Not a bit, boss, not a bit.

Well, after de show was all • ober an’ yer was streamin’ out of de front door of de canvass, didn’t yer nebber feel sober-like, an’ as though yer’d spent yer 50 cents fer nutfin?” “Well, Sam, that about illustrates it.” “Yes. Well, when de icy han’ ob death is laid on yer pulse, dat’s jes’ about how yer will feel. Yer’ll feel as if yer wanted ter go hum an’ see de ole folks an’ de chums what’s gone afore, an’ yer’ll jist feel tired an’ out of sorts, an’ all yer’H want is ter rest, jist rest.

A man may go into the country in a cbevolt shirt and armed with a SSO fishpole, and every paper in .the country will tell of the trout he caught—or said he caught, which amounts to the same thing—whereas the soiled small boy, whose whole outfit, including hat, shirt and trowsers would sell for $5, may go no farther from home than the nearest wharf, and, though he* returns home at night with a string of flounders weighing more than himself, no newspaper heralds the glad intelligence to the four corners of the earth.

Arttstle Advarttetnab Undoubtedly the Ivory Soap people deserve credit for the best grade of illustrations now being used for advertising purposes. The aeries of full page drawings which have beenappearing on the last page of the Century represent some of the most capable book and magazine artists in the country. The series must have cost no small figure. As yet the "way-up" artists do not sign the work they do for advertisers, but I apprehend that it shall not be long ere we shall see in .the advertising columns such names as George Wharton Edwards. E. W. Kemble, etc. Such men as these bring to their work, besides mere mechanical skill, a (trained imagination ‘and an artistic conception of things. These qualities, when used in connection with advertisements. command scarcely less interest than when used in the ordinary Utorary way.—[Printers’ Ink. Aug. 12.1891. Ravages ot Timo.
