—The Connecticut Farmer says: “A
bottle of carbolic acid should be kept in
every farm house, not only as a disin
fectant, but as a wash for wounds and
sores. For any purpose it should be di
luted with water. Its power to destroy
fungus growth makes carbolic acid in
valuable in pruning orchards of pear,
plum or peach where blight or disease
is suspected. The pruning shears shoul I
be frequently dipped in c.u'bo ic acid
water.”
—Farmers who have old orchards
which entirely cover the ground and
wh ch can not be cultivated or plowed
up, eau do no better than to cover the
whole ground tbiekiy with straw or
musty hay. This is best done in the
“odd years,” when the orchard does
not bear heavily. A covering of straw
six or eight or even twelve inches thick
will generally rot down and nearly dis
appear in a year under the shade of an
old orchard. When plowing is impossi
ble this practi e is probably the best ex
pedient. E\ en old corn-stalks are good
for this purpose.— Willamette 1 arnur.
The Effects of Drainin'' on the Soil.
The beneficial effects of drainage are
very marked. The stagant water is re
moved from the surface, and from the
801 lto the depth ot the drain. Plants
need w ater, but they do not thrive in
stagnant water, ’lhe roots of plants
will even decay if kept too wet. Culti
vated plants will not usually extend
their roots into the soil below the line at
which water stands permanently. Land
which is well drained will not only be
dry early in the spring, but will suffer
less from drought during the hot
weather of summer than the wet soil
The surfa e of wet land generally bakes
into a hard crust when the water dries
out of it, while if it is underdrained so
that the water drains away, the surface
will be leit soft and pulverant.
Colonel George E. Waring, Jr., in
his Handbook of Husbandry, sums up
the advantages of tile draining, as
follows: It greatly le sens the
evil ejects of drought. 2. It enables
the soil to receive a larger supply of the
fertilizing ga es of the atmosphere
(carbonic acid and ammonia), ft. It
warms the lower portions of the soil.
4. It lessens the cooking of the soil by
evaporation. 5. It greatly facilitates
the chemical action by which its
mechanical texture is improved. 6. It
tends to prevent grass lands from run
ning out. 7. It deepens the surface
soil. k. It.renders the soil earlier in
the spr ng, and keeps off the effects of
cold weat! er longer in the fall. 9. It
prevents the throwing out of grain in
winter. 10. It enables us to work
much sooner after rains. 11. It pre
vents land from be coming sour. 12. It
lessens the formation of a crust on the
soil after rains in hot weather.”
The late .)ohn H. Klippart, in a simi
lar manner, summarized the advantages
of draining as follows: “1. The drain
age removes stagnant water from the
surface. .2. It removes surplus wat *r
from under the surface. 3 it length
ens the seasons. 4. It deepens "the
soil. 6. It warms the soil. ti. It
equalizes the temperature of t'.e soil
during the season of growth. 7. It
carries down soluble substances to the
roots of the plants. It presents
“heavingout,” or “freezingout.” !'. It
prevents injury from drought 10 It
improves the quality and quantify of
the crop. 11. It increases the eliects
of manures. 12. It prevents ru£t in
wheat, and fot in potatoes.”
By draining, the rich stores of plant
food wh eh have been for ages accumu
lating in low, wet ground, are made
available for the use of plant growth.
Many of our swamps and meadows, if
well drained, would prove almost *s
productive as the rich prairie land of
the West. Many a man who has sold
his farm in the Eastern ‘-tates and gone
West to obtain rich land, might oavfe
obtained ri h land at home by draining
his wet land. —New Enqland Farmer.
—An application, purporting to lie
signed by Colonel Maurice Pinchover,
has been sent to the United Sta es 1 at
ent Office ior a patent for an adjustable
dog’s tail. The application claims that
all dogs, who, either by natu e or acci
dent, are minus a tail, encounter great
difficulties in turning sharp corners, as
their center of gravity is thrown too
near the forelegs, and they consequent
ly have to go slow or lose their balance.
The proposed tail can be fastened to
the stump, and, as the dog turns to the
right, the tail will tend to throw his
rear to the left, thus enabling him to
turn easily and rapidly without losing
his equilibrium, Washington Star.
The Squatter’s Fool.
“1 am looking for a stray' horse,”
said a man stopping at the house of an
Arkansawyer and addressing a native
who came out and le med on the fence.
“Whut sorter horse?”
“Sorrel, with 8 v. hito star in his iore
head.”
“How long’s he been gone?”
“About a-day-and a half—
“ Good work nag?”
“First-rate.”
“Wanter swop him fur a betterone?’’
“N'o, I believe not.”
“White starin his forehead, yer say?”
“Yes.”
“An’ yer don’t wanter swop him?”
“No. 1 believe not.”
“Certain he’s a good work nag?”
“Of course 1 am.”
“An’ yer don t wanter swap him fur
a better one? ’
“Here my friend. I haven’t time to
talk such nonsense. I want to know
if you have seen anything of the kind of
horse I described ”
“Why didn’t you say so?”
“1 ctid.”
“Yer didn’t. Said that’s the kind o’
hoss yer was lookin’ fur, but yor didn t
ax ef I’d seed him.”
“Excuse me, for I intended to. He
got loose and I have looked! for him
nearly everywhere.”
“Good worK nag?”
“Splendid the best I ever saw.”
“Don’t want ter swap him for a Let
ter one?”
“I told you no.”
“But that vvas before you axed ef I’d
sec 1 him.”
The searcher after information 1 oked
at the splatter with a hard st tie, but
the squatter, undaunted, leaned on the
fence, while tobacco juice showed a dis
position to trickle from the corners of
his mouth “1 tho ght that 1 had seen
the biggest fool in the country, but you
take the lead,” said the inquirer, with
a delioer ition that left no room for mis
take. “I thou. ht that my wife’s father
was the biggest 00l in the universe, but
you are the Captain.”
“ Wall, now, here, stranger, ef y r ou’re

A Philosophical Cobbler on Character
in Old Shoes.
“Yes, sir; they beat palmistry all hol
low. Take yourself, for nstanee; in
your shoe I see vacillation, irresolution,
fickleness, a tendency toward negli
gence or evasion of unpleasant duties,
f> casional spells of raoroseness. Show
me any person’s foot-covering after two
month s wear, or often less titan that,
and I will tell you that person’s charac
ter. If both heel and sole are evenly
worn let el the wearer is dear-headed,
decisive and resolute, a go td business
man, a valuable and trustworthy em
ploye. or an excellent wife and mother.
If tbeoutsid: sole is cut through the
wearer, if a man, is inclined to be ad
\ entnrous, unreliable, and spasmodic in
all his a cts: if a woman, she is predis
posed to boldness and wayward tenden
cies. If the inside of the sole is cut
through it indicates weakness and vacil
lation in a man and modesty in a wo
man.
“A few months ago there came into
my shop a stranger having a pair of
shoes with the outside of the sole
worn through and the toe somewhat cut
awav, while the heel was nearly as
good as new. I said to my wife af er
he went away, ‘That man’s a sneak, ’
and so he was. '1 he very next day a
boy came up from the police station to
net the shoes, and said the wearer had
been arrested on a clear ea-e of*sneak
th eving.
“A oertrin young man who has pat
ronized me for years was keeping com
pany' with two girls, also customers of
mine. 1 noticed that one of them wore
out her shoes on the outside of the sole
first, while the other stepped squarely
anti wore down both shoes alike. I’ve
always had a liking for thoßyoiing fel
low, and knowing that he was ing
between the two girls, I took ltirn aside
one day and showed him the shoes of
his flames and told him what I have
told you. The result was that he mat
ried the square stepper and was happy,
while the other girl di<gra ed herse’.k
“1 can also tell something of a pri
son’s lenden ies by' the size of his shoe,
the sole, the condition of the buttons or
strings, the amount of wear on the toe,
the condition of the lining, etc. I
would not advise a friend to marry a
girl who squeezes a number four foot iu
a number two shoe, for such a one is
apt to prove vain, affected and frivol
ous.
! “Do 1 believe that character can bo
molded by keeping the shoes properly
soled and heeled? Well, it has ts influ
ence. '1 he ga tof a p rson is as closely
coime ted with his disposition as the ex
pression of his countenance, though
not so easily read by most persons To
continue the wearing of a shoe whi h
runs over badly only tends to confirm
the habit m ihe person's walk.
“Your job is done, sir; sorry' I
couldn t give you a better character,
but truth is truth, and I never flatter.”

About Industries.
At a recent session of the Lime-Kiln
Club Brother Gardner glared straight at
Elder Toots for a minute and then said:
“Industry am de key to success,
while idleness am de straight road to de

lazy man an’ a loafer am so small dat
nobody' stops to agry over it De man
who sots down on a dry-goods box to

fur de frost to git out of de ground.
Industry digs down frew it. Laziness
hopes it won’t rain. Industry goes to

Laziness drinks from a mud-puddle.
Industry turns de w'indlass an’ brings

What conception can w'e form of a
billion? We may say that a billion is a
million of millions, and can easily
represent it thus: 1,000,000,000,000. But
how entirely the mind is incapable of
conceiving such numbers. If a person
were able to count at the rate of 200 a
minute; and to work without intermis
sion twelve hours a day, he would take
to count a billion, 6,944,444 days, or
19,325 years 319 days. A billion of bil
lions—a quadrillion—can be easily
represented thus: 1,000,000,000,000,-
000,000,000,000; but to count a quad
rillion at the rate of 200 in the minute
w'ould require all the inhabitants of the
globe, supposing them to be a thousand
millions, to count incessantly for 19,025,-
875 years, or more than 3,000 times the
period during which the human race
has been supposed to be in existence.—

■ —A wrestling match between a wo
man and a man is described by the San
Francisco journals. The woman was
less than nineteen. The encounter,
which lasted five or six minutes, was a
confused struggle, the wrestlers hug
ging, grappling and tumbling about iu
every conceivable posture, and this was
varied occasionally by the girl being
thrown to the ground and almost lit
erally biting the dust. It is admitted
that the mate wrestler did his best not
to hurt his fair antagonist, and in the
end she came off victorious, as had no
doubt been arranged before hand. Yet
in order to keep up the delusion, the
woman got considerably hurt.

“THE THIRD HOUSE.”
It* Good and Had Member*—The Remark
able Experiences of a Close Observer
of Its Workings During a
Lour Residence at
Washington.
(Correspondence Itochester Democrat.)
No city upon thr American continent has
a larger floating population than Washing
ton. It is estimated that during the ses
sions of Congress twenty-five thousand
people, whose homes are in various parts
of this and other countries, make this city
their place of residence. Some come here,
attracted by the advantages the city offers
for making the acquaintance of public
men; others have various claims which
they wish to present, while the great ma
jority gather here, as the crows flock to
the carrion, for the sole purpose of getting
a morsel at the public crib. The latter
class, as a general thing, originate the
many schemes which terminate in vicious
bills, all of which are either directed at
the public treasury, or toward that reve
nue which tho black-mailing of corpora
tions or private enterprises may bring.
While walking down Pennsylvania ave
nue the other day I met Mr. William M.
Ashley, formerly of your city, whose long
residence here lias made him unusually
well acquainted with the operations of the
lobby.
Having made my wants in this particu
lar direction known, in answer to an in
terrogative, Mr. Ashley said:
“Yes, during my residence here I have
become well acquainted with the workings
of the‘Third House,’as it is termed, and
could tell you of numerous jobs, which,
like the ‘Heathen Chinee,’ are peculiar.”
“You do not regard the lobby, as a body,
vicious, do you?”
“Not necessarily so; there are good and
bad men comprising that body; yet there
have been times when it must Le admitted
that the combined power of the ‘Third
House’ has overridden the will of the peo
ple. The bad influence of the lobby can be
seen in the numerous blood-bills that are
introduced at every session.”
“But how can these be discovered?”
“Easily enough, to the person who has
made the thing a study. I can detect them
at a glance.”
“Tell me, to what bill do you refer?”
“Well, take the annual gas bills, for in
stance. They are introduced for the pur
pose of bleeding tho Washington Gas
Light Company. They usually result in
an investigating committee which never
amounts to anything more than a draft
upon the public treasury for the expenses
of the investigation. Another squeeze is
the abattoir bills, as they are called.
These, of course, are fougtit by the butch
ers and market-men. Tho first attempt to
force a bill of this description was in 1877,
when a prominent Washington politician
offered a fabulous sum for the franchise.”
“Anything else in this line that you
think of, Mr. Ashley?”
“Yes. there’s the job to reclaim the Po
tomac flats, which, had it become a law,
w uld have resulted in an enormous steal.
The work is now being done by the Gov
ernment itself, and will rid the place of
that malarial atmosphere of which we
hear so much outside the city.”
“During your residence here have you
experienced the bad results of living in
this climate?”
“Well, while I have not at all times en
joyed good health, I am certain that the
difficulty which laid me up so long wa»
not malarial. It was something that had
troubled me for years. A shooting, sting
ing pain that at times a tacked different
parts of my body. One day my right arm
and leg would torture me with pain, there
would be g.eat redness, heat and swelling
of the parts; and perhaps the next day the
left arm and, leg would be similarly af
fected. Then again it would locate in
some particular ] art of my body and pro
duce a tenderness which would well nigh
drive me frantic. There would be weeks
at a time that I would be afflicted with an
intermitting kind of pain that would come
on every afternoon and leave me com
paratively free from suffering during the
balance of the twenty-four hours, 'then I
would have terrible paroxysms of pain
coming on at any time during the day or
night when I would be obliged to lie upon
my back for horn s and keep as motionless
as possible. Every time I attempted to
move a chilly sensation would pass over
my body, or I would faint from hot flashes.
I suffered from a spasmodic contraction of
the muscles and a soreness of the back and
bowels, and even my eyeballs became sore
and distressed me greatly whenever I
wiped my face. I became ill-tempered,
peevish, fretful, irritable and desperately
despondent.”
“Of course you consulted the doctors re
garding your difficulty?”
“Consulted them? well I should say I
did. Some told me I had neuralgia: others
that I had inflammatory rheumatism, for
which there was no cure, that I would be
afflicted all my life, and that time alone
would mitigate my sufferings.”
“But uidn’t they try to relieve your mis
eries?” 1 ‘Yes, they vomited and physicked
me, blistered and bled me, plas ered and
oiled me, sweat, steamed and everything
but froze me, but without avail.”
“But how did you finally recover?”
“I had a friend living in Michigan who
had been afflicted in a similar way and
had been cured. Ho wrote me regarding
his recovery and advised me to try the
remedy which cured him. I procured a
bottle und commenced its use, taking a
tablespoonful after each meal and at bed
time. I had used it about a week when I
noticed a decrease of the soreness of the
joints and a general feeling of relief. I
persevered in its use and finally got so I
could move around without ljmpin ~ when
I told my fr.ends that it was
Safe Rheumatic Cure that had put me on
my feet.”
“And do you regard your cure as perma
nent?”
“Certainly; I haven’t been so well in
years as I am now, and although I have
been subjec ed to frequent and severe
changes ol weather this winter, I have not
felt the first intimation of the return of
my rheumatic trouble.”
“Do you object to the publication of this
interview, Mr. Ashley?”
“Not at all, sir. I look upon it as a
duty I owe my fellow-creatures to alleviate
their sufferings so far as I am able, and
any communication regarding my symp
toms and cure that may be sent to me at
600 Maine avenue will receive prompt and
careful attention.”
“Judging from your recital, Mr. Ashley,
there must be wonderful curative proper
ties about this medicine?”
“Indeed there is, sir, for no man suffered
more nor louger than did I before this
remedy gave me relief.”
“ To go back to the original subject, Mr.
Ashley, I suppose you see the same famil
iar faces about the lobby session after ses
■ion ?”
“ No, not so much as you might think.
New faces are constantly seen and old
ones disappear. The strain upon lobby
ists is n> cessarily very great, and when
you add to this the demoralizing effect of
late hours and intemperate habits and the
fact that they are after found out in their
steals, their disappearance can easily b«
accounted for.”
“ What proportion of these blood-bilU
are successful?”
“A very small percentage, sir. Not
withstanding the power and influence of
the lobby, but few of these vicious meas
ures pass. Were they successful it would
be a sad commentary upon our system of
government, and would vixtualiy annihi
late one branch of it. The great majority
of them are either repor ed adversely or
smothered in committee by the watchful
ness and loyalty of our Congressmen.”

I believe Swift’s Specific has saved my
life. I had virtually lost of the upper
part of my body arid my arms from the
poisonous effects of a large cancer on my
neck, from which I had suffered for iwenty
years. S. S. S. has relieved me of al i sore
ness, and the poison is being forced out of
my system. 1 will soon be well.

LIKE HIS FATHER,
Ha was Afflicted with Stone In the Blad
der, Also, Like Him, was Cured by the
Use of Hr. David Kennedy’s Favorite
Remedy (of Itondout, N. ¥).
Mr. S. W. Hicks, of Pleasant Valley,
Duchess Co.. N. Y., the son of Mr. E. S.
Hick whose name may have appeared in
this journal in connection with an article
similar to this, was, like his father, aftlictr-d
with Stone in the Bladder, only that Ms
case was more serious than his father’s.
The father advised t’ue son to write to Dr.
David Kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y., who,
he said, would tell him what to do. Dr.
Kennedy replied, suggesting the uso of
KENNEDY'S FAVORITE REMEDY,
which had worked so successfully in the
father’s case. Mr. Hicks, who had been
assured by the local physicians that they
could do nothing more for him, tried FA
VORITE REMEDY. After two weeks’ use
of it he pas .ed a stone X of an inch long
and of the thickness of a pipe-stem. Since
then he has had no symptoms of the return
of the trouble. Here is a sick man healed.
YVhat better results could have been ex
pected? What greater benefit could medi
cal science confer? The end was gained;
that is surely enough. D;;. Kennedy as
siv .3 the public, by a reputation which he
can not afford to forfeit or imperil, that the
FAVORITE REMEDY does invigorate the
blood, cures liver, kidney and bladder com
plaints, as well as all those diseases and
weaknesses peculiar to females.

My baby six months old broke out with some kind of

family physician, was given up to die. druggist

I have suffered for many years from ulcers on my
legs, often very large and painful, during which time I
used almost everything to effect a cure, but in vain. I
took Swift’s Specific by advice of a friend, and in a
short time was cured sound and well.
