On the next day Mr. Early was seized with a violent attack of diarrhea and for relief he went to the only drug store in the village for a relieving medicine. The ingredients of the remedy he desired were very simple; but the drug clerk substituted for boneset a corrosive acid of a deadly nature. The traveler took the dose, and in five minutes was seized with the most violent spasms, which continued without fntermittence for fifteen minutes, at the end of time the unfortunate gentleman having suffered intense agony.

The mill was stopped, the bands gathered around to observe, when the flue collapsed, and the boiler moved out endwise like a thing of life, leaving a cloud of steam and dust in Its wake. It moved right through the lumber-yard, which was crowded with heavy logs, knocking largesized, green hickory logs endwise. After cavorting around among the saw-logs it turned its course, cutting off a corner-post as though it had been a cornstalk. Knocking down the mill-building, it crossed over to the railroad track, tore loose two rails and broke the third in two, and finally stopped half way aetoss the track. All ihis without injuring any. person, although there were a number of people in the mill and in the yard. The boys think that boiler is possessed.” Ohio County.

Take Care of the Tools.

The tools employed upon the farm are costly and should receive the same care which is bestowed on. other valuable

farmers a kind of chronic neglect in respect to the care of the implements of husbandry. Complicated machines like with thefr iron” hes& levers and cams, are allowed to rust and decay, so that in a couple of seasons they are worthless. This nbglect is inexcusable, unpardonable. Some farmers become torpid, frozen up, in the winter, and if* pear to have no active blood in their veins. They will not take up a rake or a neglected hoe in winter and put it under cover. We havA - seen ladders, forks, harrows, shovels, etc., peeping out from under the snow in winter, in time of thaw, and have asked why they were not cared for. Sometimes the reply has been, “We will attend to it to-morrow,” but that to-morrew never came. There must be a society organized for “ protecting farming tools,” and the officers must have full power to forcibly seize and put away all neglected implements, no matter upon whose premises they are found.— Journal of Chemistry.

A Word for Women.

“ Young men do not marry nowadays, because they cannot suppoit their wives.” Such is th<k remark which one hears everywhere delate, accompanied with a lifting of the hands in holy horror at the extravagance of the “ dear creatures.” “ If girls would only be content to begin as their mothers did, instead of as their mothers live now," how nice it would be, to be sure! Every Darby would straightway seek his Joan and love in a cottage J>e multiplied ad infinitum. And this is not because, in sooth, girls must have dresses for every day in the year, and jewels for every dress; because they can wear nothing out of the fashion; because they have not time to make the endless variety of costumes needed, and must, therefore, pay enormous milliners’ and dressmakers’ bills; because they must go where everyone else goes, and see what everyone else sees; because when married their houses must have everything “ mamma’s” does, and perhaps more; because, in a word, they are so “fearfully extravagant.” It is true that they are. It is also true that they wiU be just so long as they are encouraged in it by these very same wise lords of creation who say, when asked why they do not marry, “ Cannot afford if; really, they are so extravagant, you know!” Very well, good sir. But tell me, who is it that always pays the most attention to the most stylishly and elegantly dressed girl in society—and what girl will sit quietly by unnoticed when a few dollars or a few hundred dollars, it may be, will gain her the company of the one she wishes? Who is it that spends—we will not say how much—upon cigars, wines, “ little suppers,” theaters, neckties, jewelry, broadcloth and fine linen; handsome, even luxurious, bachelor apartments, furnished with all manner of elegant appointments, knick-knacks and adornments—things one “must have,” you know, but amounting to enough to support yourself and wife in comfort and to spare? Who is it that would be ashamed to ask any of the fellows from the club to come and see him in that modest twostory frame house, just beyond the fashionable quarter? Who is it that would not want his wife to wear a last year’s bonnet or buy cheap goods; that “must” have a thousand little luxuries to “live?” Who is it that would rather wait and not be married until he had a fortune to spend in ministering to selfish pleasure?

I believe that there are to-day more girls, true-hearted, noble and womanly, living lives of idle ease and comfort, who would leave it all and be glad to share the plainest, humblest home with the man they love than there are young men willing to give up the luxuries of their bachelor lives.

And so the days go by. They walk, ride, sing, dance and make merry with each other, enjoying themselves in a measure, it is true, but wasting the best part of lives which were intended to be spent in earnest, loving home work together. Life is too short and too precious to be passed in this way. There is sweeper, richer reward in faithful, affectionate, zealous labor for each other and humanity in establishing a home, in its purest, holiest sense, than in the fleeting, frivolous pleasures of selfish enjoyment. Of course, in our modern society, the initiative must be taken by the gentleman, and however willing girls may be to make sacrifices they can only wait until asked. And if the “ lords and masters” do not feel disposed to assume the cares, theresponsibilities, the downright work of family relations, preferring to continue lives of ease and careless luxury, let them do so. But let them be manly and just enough to give their reason frankly and honestly, and not endeavor to clear themselves and throw all the blame upon the “extravagance of the girls.” They have long enough shielded themselves behind those no more nor indeed as guilty as themselves, and I think it is high time that they be compelled to assume their rightful share of the burden. Let the saying read, as is true: “ Young men do not marry nowadays because they will not support their wives."— Elizabeth Olmis, in Hearth and Home. —HeWfrs yelling “Black yer butes!" in front Of the Postofiice ydSterday, and chewing away at a monstrous quid of gum, when another boy came along and screajped: “ Say, Bill, s’jjpsen ye let me chaw that for awhile, i’ll give ’er back termorrer.” “AH right—give me a.receipt.” “ What fur?” “ What fur? Why, s’pojen ye happened to die tonight and I hadn’t anything to show? flow’d I ever git this gum back?”—Detroit Free Press. However rich a man may be, however titled, however proud, let him go his way with humility, remembering that he is only about the two-billionth part of the population of the world, and that he will some day die and be missed by men just about as much as a mashed grasshopper is missed by his swarm. Peach hath her victories—more fall in love than in war. ■ /

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

„ ’IL S rwwn/nlfi ftWAOt not knead any ; an egg may be added if you choose. Be sure to have the lard hot enough whenthe cakes are put in. Apple Frktebb.—Make a not very stiff, with one quart of milk, three eggs and flour to bring it to , right corsietency. Pare and core a dozen apples, and chop them to about the size of small peas, and mix them well in the batter. Fry them in lard, as you would doughnuts. For trimmingfl use powdered white sugar, i The first step toward making a home orderly find healthful is to have regular hours for meals, and to hate every meal ready at the right time, accidents excepted. When a wortian has not sufficient help, with children to attend to, it is not always an easy matter to accomplish, and occasional failures are excuseble; yet that should be the aim. Egg Bread.—Take one pint of fine, white, Indian corn meal; mix into a smooth batter with warm water. Add three well-beaten eggs, a spoonful of salt, two tablespoonfuls of melted lard. Bake in a shallow pan, and just before placing in the oven pour a gill of warm water or milk on the top of the mixture. It requires more heat to bake Indian meal than flour.

Preserves.—A nice preserve may be made by taking equal quantities of white sugar and sound sweet apples; quarter and core the apples and cook in sirup made of the sugar. If the fanner’s wife wishes to add to the bill of fare for the' table, let her now begin while fresh meat and apples, sausage and ham, etc., are plenty. Mince-meat may be prepared all ready forjiiea, and canned the same as fruit, and is very convenient in ' the summer, as it is but a few moments’ work to make a pie. A Laundry Secret. —The following recipe for doing up skirls will be found of use by many housewives: Take two ounces of fine white gum-arabic powder, put it in a pitcher and pour on it a pint or more of water, and then, having covered it, let it stand all night. In the morning pour it carefully from the dregs into a clean bottle and cork it and keep for use. A tablespoonful of gum-water stirred in a pint of starch made in the usual manner will give to lawns, either white or printed, a look of newness when nothing else can restore them after they haye been washed. — Household.

Ant the Spare Beds. —Here is a hint for housekeepers and a very important one: Merely covering up a bed with blankets and counterpanes will no more protect it from dampness or keep it dry than a pane of glass will keep out light. The atmospheric moisture will penetrate all woven fabrics. Hence the importance of keeping the beds in spare rooms regularly aired. Many a dear friend or welcome visitor has been sent to an* untimely grave or afflicted with disease by being put into a bed which had been permitted to stand unoccupied. Keep the spare bed, when not in use, free from all covering but a light spread. —Rural New Yorker.

Small and Large Milkers

A few poor cows are quite apt, hi one way or another, to work in a dairy and by their diminutive yield barely pay for their keeping, and perhaps not even that, but cause an actual loss. A dairyman of my acquaintance, having forty cows, found by measuring his milk that he had five in his flock which did not give milk enough in the whole season to pay for their keeping by five dollars apiece. He had five others that paid their keeping and five' dollars a head more. The profit and loss on these cows just balanced each other; he kept the ten cows a year for nothing, losing the whole of his time in caring for them and their milk, besides the depreciation of stock and interest of the cost, which were not taken into the reckoning. When I was collecting cows for the first dairy I set up an aged and observing dairyman said to me: “Look out for good cows; there is a great deal of money made in this country by dairying, but it is all made from the good cows.” The difference between a good cow and a poor one is not generally appreciated. Oftene? than otherwise the price at which cows are bought and sold is made to accord with the amount of milk they will give. But this is not a sound way of estimating their value. Beef cattle may be estimated by the pounds of beef they will make. A bullock that will make 500 pounds of beef may be worth half as much as one that will make 1,000 pounds; but the cow that produces only 100 pounds of butter a year is not worth half as much’as one that will make 200 pounds in Lhe same time. As it will take the former cow two years to make as much butter as the latter will in one, she will cost the owner a year’s keeping more than the other cow will, to get the stfme amount. The butter from the poor cow costs double what it does from the good one and is produced at a ruinous rate to the farmer. Such a cow will not pay the cost of keeping, and is only fit for the shambles. She ought certainly never to occupy a place in the dairy. But the loss sustained by a small yield is not all occasioned by a bad Selection of cows. Many cows which otherwise might be classed as profitable milkers are made unprofitable by the treatment they receive at the hands of the dairyman.. Careless milking, harsh treatment, worrying and exposure to severe storms and to extremes of heat and cold abate the flow of milk and occasion much needless loss. Twenty-five per cent, variation in the annual product is easily made by kindness and severity. Comfort and a satisfied quietude are very efficient in promoting a liberal flow of milk. Full feeding is equally ifo.p<irtant ? and the want or it is perhaps the mtist prolific cause of abatement in the returns of the dairy. In a large percentage of dairies the yield of milk is annually made to dwindle down to the limit of profitable production, and sometimes below, from deficiency and irregularity in the food supply. Very few dairymen give their cows as much as they can eat, except for a short time in the season. In th&spring

moist and warm a vigorous growth of 1 grq*s is produced, and a flush of feed I and flowing pails attest their full supply. But presently, in the long hot and dry days of July and August; tfita ground becomes parched and the grags stops growing and dries up. If the eews can .fIH ♦hemselves during the day tfiby are commonly allowed to run without any addi tional food. As grass fails in quantity and quality and more labor is required to get.it less is consumed and the milk dL jninishes.— Farmers' Advocate.

Homeopathic Life Insurance.

There is so great difference in doctors, in their theory and practice aad their success, that it seems the most natural thing in the world (though we do not know thaflt ever has been done except in one or two instances) for Life Companies to graduate their charges for Insurance according to the skill and intelligence of the party’s family physician. This idea is being carried out with remarkable success by the Homoeopathic Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York. Its last statement, pub; lished on Jan. 1,1875, shows that during the last seven years it has insured 5,173 persons who employed Homoeopathic practice, of whom thirty-eight—three-fourths of 1 per cent.—have died in that period, while out of 1,635 persons insured who did not employ Homoeopathic physicians fifty—dr over 3 per eent.—have died This would seem almost incredible were it not backed up by other reliable statistics which the company has collected from other sources, and which it has also published and largely distributed. But the “ Homoeopathic Mutual” clinches its belief by its practice, and boldly offers to insure jts adherents at rates from 10to 12 percent, less than-the regular terms. It evidently means business; and, according to its statement, appears tube among the soundest and most vigorous of the younger companies. Parties desiring further infer■nation or to act as agents can obtain all statistics by addressing the Company, 231 Broadway, New York. It is not so much what a man earns as what he saves that makes him independent. In many lines of business the margin of profit Is so small that only the most judicious management and strictest economy can keep the concern afloat. Hence it is that so many apparently flourishing establishments go under at the very first symptom of financial shakiness. ..

Poisoned to Death.

A healthy liver secretes each day about, two and a halt pounds of bilk, which contains a jrreat amount of waste material taken from the blood. When the liver becomes torpid or congested it fails to eliminate this vast amount of noxious substance, which, therefore, remains to poison the blood and be conveyed to every part of the system. What must be the condition of the blood when it is receiving and retaining each daj’ two and a half pounds of poison? Nature tries to work off this poison through other channels and organs—the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc.; b.ut these organs become overtaxed in'performing this labor in addition to their natural functions, and cannet long withstand the pressure, but become variously diseased. The brain, which is the great electrical center of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by the unhealthy blood which passes to it from the heart, and it fails to perform its office healthfully. Hence the symptoms of bile poisoning, which are dullness, headache, incapacity to keep the mind on any subject, impairment of memory, dizzy, sleepy, or nervous feelings, gloomy forebodings and irritability of temper. The blood itself being diseased, as it forms the sweat upon the surface of the skin, is so irritating and poisonous that it produces discolored brown spots, pimples, blotches and other eruptions, sores, boils, carbuncles and scrofulous tumors. The s'tomacb, bowels and other organs spoken of cannot escape becoming affected, sooner or later, and costiveness, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia, diarrhea, female weakness and many other forms of chronic disease are among the necessary results. As a remedy for all these manifestations of disease Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery with small daily doses of his Pleasant Purgative Pellets are positively unequaled. By them the liver ana stomach are changed to an active and healthy state, the appetite regulated and restored, the blood and secretions thoroughly purified and enriched, and the whole system renovated and built up anew.
