RHEUMATISM
its Cause and Cure.
A poisonousAcid in the Blood,
which needs rem4oal.
only one means for a radical cure.
Rheumatism is a blood disease, due to
the presence of uric acid—a poison --in
the system, and it is only by the removal
of this pain -producing poison, that a
radical cure can be effected, Acute
rheumatism is hereditary, and thus it is
that young children are often victims to
this torture. The use of liniments, em-
brocations and outward applications,
may give temporary relief, but can never
cure, for the poison is in the blood, and
until it is expelled, rheumatism, sciatica
and neuralgic pains will continue.
Scotts' Sarsaparilla cures rheumatism by
removing the cause—by neutralizing and
expelling this poisonous acid. In chronic
cases, this medicine reaches the source
of the disease as no other medicine can.
It gives renewed energy to the organs
that sustitin life, the forces that make the
blood. For the nervous troubles of
youth, for the debility that precedes old
4e,.for ladies in their severe ordeals, it
is without a compeer.
Scott's Sarsaparilla is a concentrated
compound f o finest modickne4known
to modern medical science—The dose is
from one half to one teaspoonful and
during its use the ordinary vocations are
trot interfered with.

THE BRAIN.
Is Nourished More Than Any Other
organ.
There are two parts of the human
organists which, if wisely used, large-
ly escape the decay of old age. These
two are the brain and the heart. Per-
sons who think often wonder why brain
workers—great statesmen and others—
should continue to work with almost
unimpaired activity and energy up to
a period when most of the organs and
functions of the body are in a condi-
tion of advauced decay.
The normal brain remains vigorous to
the last, because its nutrition is espe-
cially provided for. About middle life,
or a little later, the general arteries
of the body begin to lose their elastic-
ity, and to weaken, slowly but surely.
They become, therefore, much less ef-
ficient carriers of the nutrient blood of
the capillary areas. But this is not the
case, with the internal carotids, which
supply the capillary areas of the
brain.
On the contrary; these large vessels
continue to retain their elasticity, so
that the blood pressure remains higher
than within the capillary area of any
other organ of the body. The blood
paths of the brain being thus kept
open, the brain tissue is better nour-
ished than the other tissues of the
body.

PRACTICAL FARMING.
WELL. KNOWN WEED PESTS.
Professor Bailey says: "Until farm-
ers till for tillage sake, and not to kill
the weeds it is necessary that the weeds
shall exist, but when farmers do till
for tillage sake, then weeds will dis-
appear with no effort of ours,"
This is true to a certain extent, for
there are weeds that spread and crowd
into unwanted places where cultiva-
tion is not desirable. Sven weeds be-
come dangerous to meadows and pas-
tures. It is claimed by Professor Hai-
ley also that there. are farmers who
w ould never till the soil --do any culti-
vating of growing crops unless forced
to do so by the encroachment of
w eeds. No doubt this is also quite true
for the majority of farmers appear to
conclude cultivation means keeping
down the weeds only.
A farmer was once seen heartily
laughing at a 'market gardener who
was running a cultivator through the
rows of a sweet corn patch that did
not .,how a sign of weeds. The market
gardener answered that cultivation
keeps the soil in a healthy state and
two proper cultivations is as good as
a dressing of manure. Keeping the
soil loose puts it in a, porous con-
dition and helps it retain moisture, lets
air into the soil and enables the plant
to obtain more nutriment or plant
food. The meadows and pasture fields
in many sections are becomingin
g
liter-
ally overrun with various weeds.
Early
spring shows t he yellow bloom of Char -
lock (wild mustard, "water cress:") in
abundance. It is crowdingout the
grasses, Seed retain their vitality a
long time and come up hi the grain
fields and there become a great nuis-
ance. One of the best methods to keep
it in cheek is to carefully cut when
it coulee in bloom and rake up into piles
and as soon as it is dry .+nonan burn
it.
Vend carrots, also called "Devil's
Plague," another weed that gets a
strong foothold in uncultivated places
—meadows, pastures and waste spots.
Cutting off when in bloom is not a very
effeetive way to get rid of this plant.,
as laterals start .out and bloom even
on stub a few inches froxti the group '
and nxature seed. Pulling them up
after soaking rainsis a good way, but
the plan is too tedious for large fields
when the pest leas gotten too free a
start. The wild carrot can certainly
be classed as a very aggressive weed.
It is said as many as 50,609 seeds have
been counted on a single plant of aver-
age size.
The oxeye daisy has become a very
dangerous pest on many farms. This
pest spreads from both seed and roots
and will crowd out all grasses and soon
take quite complete possession of a
field—if some means are not used to
check its career. If farmers really
knew how difficult it is to exterminate
the oxeye daisy they certainly would
use extra vigilance to dislodge it.
It is claimed sheep will, in time, rid
the fields of the pest, as they appear
to be quite fond of it. in fact, sheep
are great destroyers of many of the
most objectionable wanes that grow
on the farm. It is a fact very notice-
able to a keen observer that farms
where sheep are kept axe remarkably
free from weeds. The dandelion is
also getting to be too promiscuous an
intruder on many meadows and pas-
tures. Sand brier, or horse nettle, is
another pernicious pest on bottom
lands. When once it becomes establish-
ed it is a great sticker—in more senses
than one. It soon prevents cattle from
browsing in a field. The weed should
be grubbed up on sight. It can be kept
from spreading if cuttingseveral times
a year is resorted to. ight it every
way possible until it is completely era-
dicated. Some farmers claim rag -weed
makes good hay for sheep and that
cattle will also eat it. Starving ani-
inais, when they have no choice, have
been known to partake of poisonous
plants. With stock where it is a case
of ragweed hay or nothing they will
probably eat the ragweed. The farmer
who tries to sell butter made from cows
eating ragweed hay will make a very
serious mistake if he cares to keep his
customers. To eradicate ragweed
from infested fields it will be necessary
to omit from the regular rotation such
crops as ripen or mature about the
time ragweed ripens its seed. Clover
fields that are infested with rag-
weed should be plowed and crops that
require cultivation should be planted
These crops must, however, be kept
cleanly cultivated until frost, for rag-
weed is very persistent in maturing seed
and if it cannot be accomplished on a
long -growing, -tall plant, it makes
strong endeavors to mature seed on a
late short -grown plant.
Where it is growing in fields that
are not in cultivation it should be
mowed down several times during the
season—every time, in fact, that it is
noticed the seed have commenced to
form. Keep the fence corners clean,
for many weed pests start from these
sources and spread over the whole farm.
Some idea may, be formed of the cause
of the very rapid spread of weeds by
the following from an authority show-
ing the number of seeds a natural plant
will ,produce: Wild carrot, 1,200 ; dan-
delion, 1,500 ; chickweed, 2,000; cockle,
8,200; tampion, 3,425; the x,4,503 ; dock,
3,700; ragweed, 4,372; ground -sell, 6,e
500 ; ox -eye daisy, 9,600; mallow, 16.-
500; motherwort, 18,000 ; foxtail, 19,-
500;
9;500; sow thistle, 19,000 ; mustard, 31,-
000'; Canada thistle, 42,000; red poppy,
50,000; burdock, 400,328; pursane, 500,-
000;
00,-000; lamb's quarters, 825,000.
These are same of the old or well-
known weeds.
STREAKY BUTTER.
Streaky and mottled butter is al-
ways caused by an uneven distribution
and working in of the salt. This may
be caused by a. great variety of little
neglects, of which we shall only men-
tion the most important:
1. If the butter is too soft and in
too large grannies it is very hard to
get the salt distributed evettly, and
only bya very careful working can it
be done and at the risk of making' the
butter greasy.
2. If part of the granules are .cooled
too much with ice -water these will
take the salt less readily. and after
standing a day will show streaks or
mottles.
3. If the salt is slow in dissolving
and the butter only worked once, the
chanc'e's are (good. for streaks and
mottles.
4. Salt whieh ce.jces like confeetioner'q
sugar is very hard to distribute evenly.
5. If, when, working twice, the but-
ter is placed in a tub of large lump
in a. cold refrigerator., the outside of
the butter will be harder than theiug a day
immaanaannspac
and when worked there are apt
to be streaks.
From the above, the cure is evident.
ly-
1. To stop churn when granules are
'eke mustard seed or a little larger.
2. To rinse the granules with water
not colder than between 50 or 58 de-
grees. according to temiierature of but-
ter, so that the granules are between
55 and 60 degrees (according to the con-
sistency of the butter fat) when
salted.
3. To sprinkle the salt evenly aver
the granules and stir it in.
4. 'Co work it lightly; and place pats
of five or six pounds in aroom of 58
or 60 degrees fortwo to four hours, ac-
cording to solubility of the salt.
5. To work it the second time Si' f fi-
ciently without making it greasy. If
it shows the least tendency to this
before finished, working should be stop-
ped at once and resumed after a
couple of hours' rest le, a tempera-
ture tui
a of 58 to 60
degrees.,
as
es.
Owing to variation .
thei the n con-
sisteney of the butter fat (depending
on breed and food) no strict rules for
temperatures can be given, We have
given averages.
It: is also said that it is a good thing
to leave the butter, at a temperature
of 60 degrees for twelve hours after
working, and if only one working is
practiced it may be eesent ial.
We have in the above presuraed that
it was not white specks, but only
streaks or mottles. IN bite specks come
chiefly from awrong acid developed

THE BOSTON ARTILLERY.

smith Untitustasni by all Classes -Orr
foisting Founenirs tit fl'In.11Sor.
A despatelt from London says —Col.
'Walker, of I be Ancient and Honorable
Artillery Company of Massachusetts,
said to arepresentative of the Associa-
ted Press;- "Our visit virtually con-
cluded on Friday night, with the
smoker of the Honorable Artillery Com-
pany, though most of the Ancients were
present in uniform yesterday after-
noon at the annual inspection of the
Honorable Artillery Company. I wish
to record our keen delight at the char-
acter of the reception we have met with
here, Of course, we o Rated the gen-
erous wholesouled courtesies of our
comrades. But we were totally unpre-
pared for the great popular reception
y the maps of the people which we
have met with every moment since ar-
riving here. It is very clear to all of
us that the mass of Englishmen are
heartand soul against any interruption
of the peaceful relations between the
two countries, and they took this oc-
casion to spontaneously demonstrate the
same. This is the spirit manifested by
the Queen, Prince of !Vales, Duke of
Connaught, Lord' Wolseley, and every-
one in authority„ They all seem to be
most anxious to emplemize the plea-
sure of seeing the Ancients.'
The reception accorded to the Anci-
ent and Honorable Artillery Company
in England surpasses anything in
point of genuine, hearty enthusiasm
in the history of the country. On all
sides, from the Queen. and the Prince
of Wale down to the poorest of the
masses, the hand of good -fellowship
has been loyally extended to the visit-
ors, who, as distinctly stated by the
Prince, were not received as foreigners,
but as brothers from across the sea.
But there has been a humorous feature
in the proceedings, which it will do no
harm to record. When the Ancients
were entertained in the Royal Orange-
ries at Windsor on Wednesday many
of their ladies were anxious to obtain
souvenirs of the occasion, and they
persuaded the waiters to sell them
knives and forks. Consequently the
waiters did a thriving trade. They
charged five shillings each for common
steel knives, and it now develops that
these knives were the property of the
contractor at Windsor who supplied
the feast, and that they were never
used inside the castle.
BUTTER IN PLASTER OF PARIS.
New Methods of Shipping Rutter Adopted
In Australia.
There seems to be no limit to the in-
genuity bestowed upon the devising of
means for accomplishing the transport
of the perishable produce of distant
climes to the English market. A new
method, described in the Australasian,
is that of packing butter in a box made
of six sheets of ordinary glass, all the
edges being covered over with gemmed
paper. The glass box is enveloped in a
layer of plaster of Paris, a quarter of
an inch thick, and this is covered with
especially prepared paper. The piaster
being a bad conductor of heat,the tem-
perature
h em-
g
perature inside the hermeticlly sealed
receptacle remains constant, being un-
affected by external changes. The cost
of packipg is about 1d. per lb. Butter
packed in the way described at Mel-
bourne has been sent across the sea to
South Africa, and when the case was
opened at Kimberley, 700 miles from
Cape Town, the butter was found to
be as sound as when it left the factory
in Victoria. Cases are now made to
hold as much no 2 cwt. of butter, and

THIRTY-ONE KILLED.
Art A'afetl Aeetdent on the Chicago Nortlr-
'western RailroadatLogan, lova- De-
tails of the Fatality.
An appalling accident to an excursion
train occurred early on Saturday even-
ing at Logan, Iowa, 355 miles east of
Omaha, on the line of the Chicago &
Northwestern Railroad, in which 31
persons, living in Oniaha,Council Bluffs.
Missouri Valley and intervening points,
were killed and. 40 injured. The train
consisted of fifteen coaches, loaded down
with members of the Union Pacific
Pioneer Association of Omaha and their
families and friends. The excursion
party left Omaha early in the day, pick_ 4
ins up recruits at Council Bluffs, Mils
souri Valley, and Woodbine, Ia. Its
destination 'was Logan, Iowa. About 7
in the evening the journey home was
commenced. The train had hardly paus-
ed the limits of the city, and wasround-
ingacurve, when down brakes was 1
whistled, and then came a crash. The •
excursion train had been run into by a 1
fast freight, and all the coaches were )
ditched. This has been a day of gen.;
era] mourning in Omaha. The crowds •
of anxious people at the depots did not
scatter with the break of day, although
the excitement of the night wore off
as relatives and friends of the dead ones
became convinced of the worst. About
7 o'clock the first funeral train from
the scene of the catastrophe arrived at
the Union Depot, and there was an in-
voluntary ]rush forward to gratify a
morbid desire to learn the news from
those who had been in the disaster.
The first train contained many of the
more seriously injured, and, as the poor
unfortunates were lifted, in blankets,
from the car. the groans of the wound-
ed mingled with t he agonized sobs of
relatives and friends. Twenty passen-
gers were taken in ambulances to St.
Joseph's Hospital. Several of theta can-
not hope to live more than a few hours.
At 8.30 o'clock the train carrying the
dead was sighted coming across the long
Union Pacific trestle. As it drew up
to the station a special cordon of po-
lice guarded the approaches and kept
the crowd. back. Seventeen bodies laid
on pine boards and covered with a plain
muslin shroud were taken one by one
and placed in a long row on the floor
of the baggage:room. Only friends of
the missing ones were allowed admis-
sion. Those silent forms gave evidence
of the force of yesterday's collision.
Headless trunks, bodies without limbs,
limbs without bodies, were gathered in
that small space, Occasionally someone
would recognize the features of a son
or a daughter. Kind friends would
gently lead them from the room, and
the:body would be ticketed and sent to
the undertaker's.

GENTLEMEN,—During the winter of
x842 my blood became impure on account
of the hearty food I aterit><the cold
weather. Ambition, energy and success
forsook me, and all my efforts were in
vain. My skin became yellow, my bowels
became inactive, my liver was lumpy and
hard, my eyes became inflamed,my appe-
tite was gone, and the days and nights
passed in unhappiness and restlessness
For some months I tried doctors'
and patent medicines of every description,
but received no benefit. Being advised
by a friend to try B.B.B., I am glad to
have the opportunity of testifying to the
marvellous result. After using three
bottles I felt much better, and when the
fifth bottle was finished I enjoyed health
in the greatest degree, and have done so
fromthatday up to date. Therefore I
have much pleasure in recommending B.
B.B. to all poor suffering humanity who
suffer from impure blood, which is the
beginning and seat of all diseases.
