" For eight years, I was, most of the Sime,a great sufferer from constipa.. tion, kidney trouble, and indiges- tion, so that my constitution seemed to be completely broken down. I was induced to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and took nearly seven bottles, with such excellent results that my stomach, bowels, and kidneys are in perfect eon- dition, and, in all their functions, as iregular as clock -work. At the time I began taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla, my weight was only 129 pounds; I now can brag of 159 pounds, and was never in so good health.

The virtual head of the family is Vt thaniel Lard Rothschild, of Londe* ABOUT Til . unziner Care of winter Con forts, Before beingat. away for, the glimmer, fere and. fur-iid garments shatiltl behuwg out doors to be well beaten and aired. The Russian method of .°leaning furs is simple and efliceofous, restoring the fur to ite pristine lustre and making it look absolutely new. Put rye float. in an earthen pot ripen the stove and stir constantly till it is ass hot ae the hand can bear. Spread the hot meal overthe fur to be cleaned, and rub it thoroughly in ; after this brush or beab the fur gently till perfectly freed from the flour. If furs have ever suffered from moths the Utmost vigilauee is necessary to prevent further depredations. The most perfect eearoher for these pests is a dressing -comb, which is sure to bring le your vengeance the hidden enemy. After 'thorough comb- ing it is well to sprinkle the garment with. lavender. Provide an abundance of small sachets made of cheesecloth and filled with lavender flowers, or with the moth preven- tive. Cloves and unground black pepper. are also good moth -preventives. Remem- ber} above all things, that nothing so en- courages them as dirt ; sad that light and air and cleanliness, upon which human beings thrive,, discourage them ho aless - 1P. Furs, of courso,should be put in packages or boxes by themselves : a generous supply of saohets should be put in and about them, and the sleeves of fur coats should be filled with rumpled paper. All furs except seal - akin can be folded without fear of their taking on tell-tale creases; but a sealskin. coat would better be hung on a stretcher `with a paper or cloth bag drawn over it and fastened hermetically at the top—a precaution against the dust, for moths are not fond of sealakin. Boxes containing small furs should have paper pasted over them under the covers. In the matter of blankets, housekeepers are not agreed as to the kind of treatment they should receive. Some over -nice wogien have them laundered almost as frequently' as bed -spreads, and can hardly count one nice soft pair among their belongings. Others over -nice in a different way, make the mistake of taking the bed -spread off at night, and leaving the blankets exposed to dust and dirt, which they take and hold. much more readily than does the spread. Very few ordinary laundresses understand the proper handling of blankets, and when they are so soiled that thorough beating and airing does not freshen them, it will be money in the pocket to send them to the professional cleaner. By some magic of their own they succeed in cleaning them year after year and returning them always soft and looking "as good as new." You oan save your blankets much un- necessary soil by taking good care of su- perfluous pairs in the summer. and fre- quently airing and beating those that are in use. The former should be hung in the sunlight and air for several hours, and then be packed away; put sachets of lavender, cloves, and pepper between their folds, wrap them in old sheets, and then slip them into paper bags, Paste the ends to- gether so nothing, not even dust, can pene- trate to the inside. Straw Table Mats. Harvest time is almost with us, wben those on farms can get a fine supply of material or, mut;,. eplrahers, banners, and so on. Go to the field and hand -gather as much straw as youwant before the machines go in and spoil it. Take clean, bright straws and lay them side by side on heavy paper ; baste enough to hold in place and then stitch several times across on the machine. If the rows are two inches apart the stitching will be close enough to hold, though half that distance looks very pretty. Have the machine set to take a long stitch to avoid chopping the straw. Trim the edges evenly, and tear the paper from the back. Gilded straw work is beautiful. Those who paint can decorate as much as they please ; for a banner, fasten grain heads on the lower edge. Mats woven of coarse straw and baby ribbon are pretty for bureau or stand. Straws may be dipped in some bright colored dye, if striped mats or borders are wanted. it is work that young girls can do and they will enjoy doing it. I know from my own experience in "straw work," --- Two Moth Sachets. The usual moth preventives are anything but pleasing in their fragrance, but we will give two that are both effective and agree. able. Make little bags of various si zes ; fill them with the powlars described later on in this article, and hang them among the clothes or put in boxes, coat pockets and similar places. The first powder is made of one-half ounce each of cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and carraway seeds, three ounces each of orris root, lavender leaves and burgamont leaves. The second powder is stronger and is made of one ounce each of orange peel, powdered cubebs, lavender and rue leaves, orris root and cloves. For those who like a powder to sprinkle among urs and feathers the following is the best I know of : Take one dram of flower of hops, one ounce each of tobacco and black pepper, and mix with some corn- meal or fine bran that has been maturated with oil of cedar.

Description or the Plant Which is Causing the Dakota Wheat Farmers so Muck Trouble. At maturity the average plant is two to three feet in diameter, weighs, when dry, from two to t o lv braeP s estimated It ' u to bear about 25,000 seeds. It breaks from the ground in cold weather and is blown rapidly over the surface by the winds, scattering its seeds as it goes.The young shoots and leaves are eaten eagerly by cattle, but in the dry weather of August the plant hardens and spine -pointed leaves appear. The Russian thistle flourishes in dry weather. It robs the soil of nourish. ment- that might otherwise go to useful plants.. To wheat and flax it is, especially troublesome, as it crowds out and starves the crop. Barley and rye rank next in order az grains injured by the weed. Last year in many fields of the Dakotas the crops were left standing in the fields as not be- ing worth harvesting. The rigid, bushy weeds are apt to make harvesting machin. ery get out of order and the spines from the plants irritates men and horses. The weeds are also said to promote prairie fires,. It is believed that the weed was intro- duced into the United States in 1873 or 1874 in flaxseed brought from Russia and sown near Scotland, Bon Homme County, S. D. At present its ravages extend over an almost continuous area of 35,000 square miles, comprising all the counties of South Dakota east of the Mississippi River, 20 counties in North Dakota, two counties in western Minnesota, three in Northern Iowa, and four in northeastern Nebraska. In addition the weed is found in isolated localities along the railroads as far East as Madison, Wis., West to Denver, Col., and South to the south border of Nebraska. It is a great pest in Russia, where it has devastated thousands of miles of fertile land and where no remedy for its spread is known. Many farm lands given over to barley, wheat and flax, near the Caspian Sea, have been abandoned to the weed, be- cause efforts to keep it in check proved futile. NEW CHAIN LINKS.

HE IS IRRESPONSIBLE. Dcbs, the Leader or the Great Strike, Said to be a Dipsomaniac. The New York Advertiser says :—Dr. T. S. Robertson is one of the New Yorkers who knows something of the antecedents of Eugene V. Debs. Dr. Robertson, who is a specialist in nervous diseases, treated Debs in April, 1892, for a serious case of dipso- mania- At the time Debs was prominent in labor agitation and the editor .of a labor paper in Terre Haute, Ind. His system broke down completely under con- stant alcoholic excesses, and he became a mental and physical wreck. With a let- ter of introduction from Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, he came to New York, and was treated by Dr. Robertson, who restored him to something like health again. Dr. Robertson sent a telegram to Debs on Thursday night, warning him that, he was in no conditoin to enter upon such an immense undertaking as the management of the great, strike. I consider him to be almost, if not quite, irresponsible," said Dr. Robertson, " and I told him so in my telegram. His physical condition is not good,and the effects of the dipsomania u s mania ma P Y affect his intellect. e i i 1 I have not received any answer to the telegram, and I suppose Mr. Debs considered himselfinsulted in ulted bybeing g called irresponsible. 13 down will break dp n si ph y call y, and lirobs bly mentally,as soon as this strain is over, if no i; before, for and will Prehab!Yrelapse into his former dire sipated habits."

The great majority of eatere of butter would be unable to distinguish a first Wass product from a butter which Mita rating by an expert would reels below it. The taste of the, public differs in different localities and is undergoing oanstantohenge, Some persons prefer a mild butter, while others are not satisfied unless their butter lute a strong tanto. it will be found that, as a rule, people like the kind of butter that they have been accustomed to use, and if an attempt should be made to change the flavor of the butter, even though 15 should be to a superior quality, it would not be likely at first to meet with favorable recep- tion. It is recognized by buttermakers that the introduction of creamery butter into nxarket has produced a considerable change in the .public taste, and that at the present time there is a much larger demand for mild -flavored butter than before cream- ery butter became so commonly used. The influence of individual localities is largely deterniinedby the kind of butter the market furnishes. Our creameries can change the public taste almost at will, AU of these facts have to be considered when we are experimenting upon the butter flavor. in spite of these facts, the proper butter flavor is a matter of great importance to the creamery. The butter expert who gener- allydeoides the rating of the butter produc- ed by our creameries, recognizes the impor- tance of flavor. In market where different grades of butter comes into competition with each other as high priced pro- ducts, the prices are largely regulated by this peculiar, delicate, evanescent aroma. Of course, where the creameries of a large state agree to sell their butter at a given price, it is a matter of less importance to them whether they obtain this flavor but even then it will be found that the cream- eries which produces the best butter will have the greatest demand for their product. There are many creameries!and small dairies that make nu special effort toobtain flavor. They are satisfiedtoproduce a good quality of butter even though it may fall consider- ably short of the best. In all of the better creamerieshowever, tha attempt is made to obtain thiss' peculiar butter aroma, which enhances the price of butter in open market. Work for Rainy Days. By far too many farmers and their labor- ers consider the rainy days as sacred to rest and inactivity. The thrifty, successful farmer, however, usually has plenty of in- door work planned for this inclement weather. The harness is to be cleaned and properly oiled, the stable floors are to be mended, tools and wagons repaired, gates made, the compost heap in the basem ent handled over,. and a hundred other little jobs attended to. The team may need shoeing; if so, let the man take them to the shop. le will do more favors in the future than if kept working on the farm all the time, and these little things show that you have confidence in him. He will fully ap- preciate the situation, and not find fault if, in the rush of work, latehours sometimes find him in the field, and pill look after your interest in the prbper care of live stook and the attention to details that will make many dollars difference in your favor at the end of the year. The tasks planned for rainy days should be such as can be done under, or near to shelter. In the latter case, the intervals between showers may be utilized. It ramie, pays any farmer to work outdoors when it is raining. Tenant Houses on Farms. Every large farm should have a tenant' house conveniently located on the premises. Even for a smaller farm, where the owner is obliged to depend upon hired help to some extent, a tenant house will prove a good investment. It is a permanent invest- ment, and adds that amount to the value of the property. The farm laborer living therein can get his meals at home, thus saving that much extra work for the farm- er's family. Personal matters can then be discussed with more freedom than when a man, perhaps a stranger, is present, which is a eonsideratio:, of no small .moment, especially as men are usually but a year or two in a place. Many things are said at meal time that, if repeated outside of the family, might cause trouble. A tenant house would prevent all this, A house sixteen by thirty feet will afford all the necessary room, or a house fourteen by twenty-eight feet, two stories high, with a kitchen ten by twelve feet on the rear, will give good accommodations for a family of five or six. One bedroom will be below, and two or three above. The surroundings should be made neat and pleasant. A garden and several fruit trees will be more pro- fitable than shade trees, If a row or two of small fruits and berries are added, two or .three dollars more per year eau be added to the rent, and will be willingly paid. The tenant or his family will usually give thein good attention, for it is to their interest to do so. If the well water be hard, a cistern or some plan for obtaining a needed supply of rainwater should be provided. Such things cost but little and make the property more desirable, inviting a better 'class of men than when each accommodations are not present. '-- should e. at least two tons per acre,, and. oan he made so by proper methods. a tenant farmer on a large farm is nut often a happy individual, The small tenant farmer, who rents afew acres on a cash basis, and cultivabee ib all mainly by the labor of hie own bands, gets vastly more satisfaotion from it than the extensive fernier. Thumb -pruning Tress and Shrubs. "Nip it in the bud," is an old saying,but contains a remarkable amount of good com- mon sense, and when the application is made to tree growth, ibis of greatimportance as regards the future shape, value and healthof the tree,Upon the large limbs and trunks of trees, buds are pushed forth e in the earlystages thab, if not removedof growth will cause anunsightly tree If +left several years be>'ore removal, it may f the tth result in the decay of ree at e paint of removal, or, if allowed to'grow and become a part of the tree, will ften make a difficulb matter t rasa g o h amort the limbs gather t to the 'fruit, Alt of this trouble may be avoided by promptlyPins ing orrub. bing buds as soon as g off the out -of -place t o appear.

Profit and Loss on the Farm. When a man uses an acre of hundred dollar land foe growing a ton of hay, worth ra Setting Fence Posts. Posts that are to be planed in a olay, soil which is liable to heave by the action of frost, will retain their original position longer if they are set in dug boles instead of being driven, Unless all thesharpened portion is placed below the action of the frost, and even then, if at the time of freez- ing the soil is soaked with water, the action of frost is liable to raise the post upward. However, as soon as frost leaves the soil a few blows on top of the post with a heavy maul will return it to its original depth, which could not be so easily done if the post was square at the bottom, as earth would fall in the cavity. On most soils sharpened posts are best, and when of dug. able material like cedar, oak or chestnut, and where the fencing material is wire, a post four inches in diameter will last as long and be just as serviceable as one six or more inches isand t cost 's e in diameter, the 1 usually less. A NEW RAILROAD TIE. The Rail Clamped Into 11'ositioit and Re- pairs Easily Made. An inventor has patented a new form of old steel rails which are selected, all the culls being discarded. These rails are run Fig. 1.—ONE CLAMP REMOVED TO DISPLACE RAIL, at white heat through roils especially de- signed for the purpose.

Ate Their Dead Comrades. The steamship Queen arrived at Port Townsend, Wash., the other day from Sitka, and reports that Captain Huntley, the third mate and fifteen survivors of the whaling barque James Allen, wrecked in Western Alaska, had arrived at Sitka, and taken passage for San Francisco. The survivors report that they endured great hardships and were reduced to such privations as to be compelled to eat the flesh of their dead companions. Four men were drowned by a boat's capsizing and two died of starva- tion.

South American M'ed'icine Co. Gentlemen : I received a letter from you May 27th, stating that you had heard of my wonderful recov- ery from a spell of sickness of six years duration, through the use of SOUTH AMERICAN NERVINE, and asking for my testimonial. I was near thirty-five years old when I took down with nervous prostration.' Our family physician treated me, but with- out benefitting me in the least. My nervous system seemed to be entirely shattered, and I constantly had very severe shaking spells. In addition to this I would have vomiting spells. During the years I lay sick, my folks had an eminent physician from Day- ton, Ohio, and two from Columbus, Ohio, bo come and examine me. They all said I could not live. I got to having` spells like spasms, and would lie cold and stiff for a time after each. At last I lost the use of thy body—could not rise from my bed C.

By the time I had taken one and.one- half bottles I could rise up and take a step or two by' being helped, and after I had taken five bottles in all I felt real well. The shaking went away gradually, and I could eat and sleep good, and my friends could scarcely believe it was I. I am sure this medicine is the beat in the world. I belive it saved my life. I give my name and address, so that if anyone doubts my statement they can write me, or our postmaster of any citizen, as all are acquainted with my case. I ala now forty-one years of and expect to live as long as Lord has use for me and do all t good I can in helping the snffering.
