When not using the fire, keep the dampers closed; it will be ready whea needed; then open the draughts. For cooking either on top of the stove or in the Sven, no matter how hot the fire desired, hay- ing the coal come nearly to the top of the lin- Ing, the fire ought to last four hours without new coal or poking. The top of the stove may be red hot, andthe coals piled up to the lids, and yet the ovens will not bake. It Is because there is too much coal, and the draught 1s stop- ped by it. The practice of having the top of the stove o range red hot will soon destroy it, warp- ing It cut of shape and cracking the lids. Petrine Summer ChoTuixe Ix OnpER.—If the mother or head of the house ts a wise woman she will begin now to put the every-day summer clothing in order. The stockings and underwear should all be locked over, and be put in wearing condition: then a little later the common dresses may be made or be made over, | and so the hurry and worry that unfortunately often attend the coming of spring, may, to tent, be avoided. An honest woman sed not long ago that although the min- ister whose church she attends, of which she is a member in excellent standing. {s not at all liked as a preacher by many of his congrega- tion, she finds that he is doing her a great deal of good. “I always listen to the text and the opening of the sermon,” she said, “and after that his voice is so pleasant, and i am so sure that [know exactly what he Is going to say, that I sit there, in that quiet and restful_ place, and plan out my work for the week, and I notice that when I do this I always get along so much better during the week, for that Sunday morn- ing hour is about the only one that I have which is entirely free from demands upon me.” Far be it from mete recommend this practice, but in View of the preaching, which so often Is a “dark- ening of counsel.” certainty the idea of quietly planning out the week's work isto be commended.—New York Post. eo Brass Povxptxe.—In a way this trass-pound- Ing is art work, and it is plainly several degrees higher in the scale artistic than the crazy quilt. er, more easily mastered, and more y than any branch of painting, and for ns it is popular on sight with people ambitious to acquire a reputation for being artistic. The outfit required for a brass pounder | | consists of a sheet of brass, a hammer, a set of tools, a pattern, sheet of carbon paper, and | fingers that don't object to being mashed.’ The | brass is almost as thin as paper, and as tough as it can be made. It costs forty cents a Pound and that quantity will furnish material for a month's hammering. The tools come in sets of from three to nine pleces. The | principal ones are a chisel-like concern for marking the outline, a straight punch for making single marks.gand a die-faced affair that gives the roughened appearance to the background. The others are modifications of these. .A complete set can be had for £2.60. The hammer is of the machinist’s pattern, and is worth seventy-five cents, the carbon paper costs twelve cents, the patterns are worth anything one chooses to pay, and the fingers, financially considered, vary in value according to the physicians employed. The total expedl- ture of starting up as a brass pounder, barring the tuition fees, Is #3.87. In beginning opera- tions, the sheet of brass is securely tacked to a board. the carbon paper is laid on the brass, and the pattern over that, With a stylus—or a cro- thet heédle, if there is no stylus on the premi- ses—the pattern istraced out, the on paper conveying the marks to the brass.

Notes and Suggestions. — The want of pure and fresh water accounts in many instances for the lack of eggs during the winter season. Fowls require a constant supply of water, and without it will not lay. —A frost-proof vegetable house is described as made with walls fifteen inches thick, double boarded, the space between the boards being filled with sawdust. The ceiling !s also board with about ten inches of sawdust between the boards. — The Tribune says that mulching is fully as | beneficial for raspberries and blackberries as for strawberries, yet few seem to think so. If the mulching consists ot good stable manure the canes will make an excellent growth, and the or of fruit be greatly improved in size and quality. i —The British Medical Journal says cows It may be pinned with small jornk filthy water tor its saline taste, and pro- poses an antidote in the shape of rock salt, kept always within reach of the cows, and we sup- pose ft would bea good idea to have the salt near the place where good water is to be had, so as to attract the cow to that location. — A western writer says that the mass of the butter sold goes for half price, year in and out, largely because it 1s churned at the wrong tem- | perature by persons too stingy or too stupid to invest in a good thermometer. _A_variation of | five degrees from the standard spoils or greatly injures either butter or cheese. — An Indianapolie (Ind.) fruit grower says:— “‘Last year I put twelve moles in be strawberry | patch of five acres to catch the grubs, and they | did the work. Inever had a dozen plants in- | jured during the summer, either by the grubpor | moles. I know some people do not care for moles on their farms, but I want them in my strawberry patch.” — Noting the fact that the water-cress is one of the best of salads and is sold in the English market by tons, the Germantown Telegraph says that it can be easily ralsed in this country as | follows: Stick some pieces of the plant along the low places of a running stream, like the or- dinary open springs upon our farms, and it will | grow rapidly, and unless it is extirpated by | wholesale gathering it will go on producing for | €enerations, and will always supply early crops for the market, and will sell fast enough. — One of the most suggestive experiences of the past season has been that of J. M. Smith, the widely known horticulturist of Green bay, Wis. He bought a new piece of land three years azo, and, despite heavy manuring each year, his crops on this ground have been poor. It takes time to bring land up to a good state of fertility. After manure has been applied to Poor soil it sometimes takes several years to mix it up so that crops derive the full benefit from It. This is notably true of garden vewze- tables, which require the highest fertilization. — In response to inquiries as to the practica- | bility of allowing sheep to have access to acorns as food, says the editor of the Texas Wool Grower, our experience and observation has led us to the followingconclusions: In Virginia, where we first handled sheep, the white oak and black Jack acorns, as a general thing, were not regarded asa safe diet. The tendency was to Produce constipation, causing fever and in | Numerous instances death. From this cause we were impressed, when embarking in sheep husbandry in Texas, that all species of acorns were dangerous for sheep to feed upon. —The first incubator of the season, holding eventy-five egzs, has just been operated at Hammonton, N.J. Thirteen eggs were thrown ut as worthless, and there were hatched thirty- ight chicks from sixty-two eggs, or a little over 61 percent. Three hens were set on eggs from the same basket. The first hen hatched five | chicks from ten eggs, killing tour. The other | two hens did not hatch a Bee a chick. All the incubator chicks are alfve and thrifty. This in- cubator was made to operate without the use of a lamp, and consequently no expense of oil was | ineurred. A tank of hot water was kept over the egg drawer, the loss of heat being replaced by adding a kettle full of boiling water once a y, except In very cold weather, when the boil- | ing water was added twice In twenty-four hours. It required no watching, and but for the dim- culty of procuring good eggs for the purpose | might have done better. —The American Agricuiturist says of the cow pea: “This pea, which Is a great blessing to southern agriculture, presents a large number | of varieties. A few days ago we, through the | ald of some friends in Georgia, made a col- lection of all the different kinds we could pro- lcure. We received peas under nearly forty |alfferent names, but found that only about | twenty of these were really distinct, 80 far as we could Judge by the appearance of the seeds. Ashare of the varieties are cultivated in the southern states forthe sake of the seed, but the majority are regarded as forage plants.’ We notice that some New York seedsmen offer the seeds of ‘Whirlpool’ and others which are esteemed in the southern states as forage plants. Weknow no plant more worthy of a carefal test by those who practice ensilage than the ‘Southern Cow Pea.’ Like other beans— foritis much nearer a bean than a pea—it should not be gown until the soil is well warmed and all danger of late frosts is over.” — Under the head ot “Lights in the Barn” the Agriculturistsays: ‘‘It is estimated that nine- tenths of all fires are caused by carelessness. Now Is the season when the lantern is frequently used in the barn, and we give a word of caution. barn. Smokers may include thelr plpes and cigars in the above. The lantern should be lighted in the house or some outbuilding where no combastibles are stored. A lantern which | does not burn well should never be put in order | in the hay mow. There isa great temptation to strike a mateh and relight an extinguished lan- tern, wherever it may be. It is best toeven feel one’s way out toa safe place than to run any risks. If thelight is not kept In the hand it should be hung up. Provide hooks In the vari- ous rooms where the lights are used. A wire Tunning the whole length of the horse stable, at the rear of the stalls, and furnished with a sliding hook. is very convenient for night work | with the horses. Some farmers are so careless as to keep the lamp ofl in the barn, and fill the lantern there while the wick is burning. Such | Tisks are too great, even if the buildings are more profitable pastime for boys than the | breaking of a pair of young streets or calyes to the yoke, if an extra team is likely to be needed. The calves will not only soon Ww into oxen, but the actual contact of the lads with the calves, andthe ups and downs in the | conflict of breaking them in, will not only do the caives good, but will improve the boys from the healthy exercise of bone and muscle it always affords. If the boys are young, begin with a well matehed pair ot spring calves, and lose no time in providing @ suitable yoke to commence the training.

All such work as making paths, laying drains, etc., is more advantageously done now than when the press of spring work is at hand. If new frames are needed, or straw mats or crates for marketing produce, or garden labels are re- quired; if impiements are to be made, repaired | or bought—whatever can ve done in the present, months—will save much valuable time In spring. Now, andall through the winter, add everything to the manure pile that will decompose and in- creaseits bulk and value. Among the pre; tions for spring is the pricking out into cold frames the cabbage, cauliflower and lettuce plants from seeds. It is important to set the plants of cabbage and caulifiower down to the first leaf, so that the stem, the portion most readily injured by freezing, may be covered. The sashes should not be put over the planta until there isdanger of severe freezing weather. Other frames should be made ready for very early lettuce. The soil is to be spaded and en- riched and made ready for planting, and the frames then filled up with leaves. If there are shutters at hand to cover them, all the better.

Agchibald Forbes in the English Illustrated Magazine. * THE SECOND EMPIRE, Perhaps in all hiatory there is no episode so barren of touches of nature as was the Second Empire. From first to last it was a mere seaf- folding of meretricious artificiality. There was the sham Cesar, a flaccid person with a knack of uttering obscurities conveying a vague flavor of ominousness at which the nations pricked i their sensitive ears. The Inner life of the empire was a strange mixture of rottenness and gim- | crackery. What a court! The atmosphere of Comptegne had a confhsed aroma of bastardy, fe sem nae eles — eal journalism in the ion of prostitution, militaryism, half bravo, half galant; of intrigue, of dissolutenesa, of insincerity, of ghastly hol- lowress. It is amorfg the most humiliating problems of modern times how long this nasty gaudy caricature of empire was able to impose onthe world. Its a*poor consolation for the world’s long self-deiusion that when the wind- bag was once resolutely pricked, it should have coliapsed with such hpadiong swiftness. The humiliating memory cannot out of that eighteen- year-long imposition. NAPOLEON AND HIS SON. I have seen Napoleon III at the pinnacte of his holiow splendor. From the German picket line on the 2d of August, 1870, I heard the dis- tant cheering on the Spicherenberg that greeted him and the lad whom he had brought from Metz to receive that day his ‘baptism of fire.” Again [saw him on the morning after Sedan, asthe broken man—broken in power, in pres- tige, in health, in spirits—eat with Bismarck on the grass plot in front of the weaver’s cottage on the Donchery road. Next morning I witnessed his departure into his Wilhelms- hohe Coy at 8 I have seen him doddering about Brighton and strolling under the beech trees that encircle Chislehurst Common. And for the last time of all I saw that stolid careworn face, as it lay on the ratsed pillow of the bier in the broad corridor of Camden Place; and when the face was no more visible I wit- nessed the coffin laid down in the little chapel among the Chislehurst elm trees. I knew the boy of the empire when the shackles of the em- ES had fallen from his limbs, and he was no longer a buckram creature, but alively, natural lad. My acquaintance endured into his man- hood. hen the twilight was falling on the rolling veldt of Zululand, and his day’s work in the staff tert was done, he liked, as it seemed to me, to gossip with one who knew the other side of the picture, about the early days of the Franco-German war—a war that had wrought at once his ruin and his emancipation. And finally, poor gallant lad! I saw dimly through tears the very last of him, as he lay there dead on the blood-stained sward by the Ityotyosi river, with a calm proud smile on his face, and his body pierced by countless assegai stabs, Men have called his death ignoble. Petty as was the quarrel, wretched as was the desertion that wrought ‘his fate, I call him, rather, happy in the opportunity of his death. Had he lived. what of artificiality, what of hol- low unreality might there not have been in store for him! As it was, he had moved in the world a live ghost. Better than this, surely, to be a dead hero:—to end the Napoleonic serio- comedy with his young face gallantiy to his assailants, and his life-blood drawn by the cold steel! THE EVE OF THE WAR. Ido not know how the Palace of St. Cloud looks now, but when Isaw it last it was a ghastly fire-blackened wreck. A German picket of infantry men were quartered in the roofless salon, where they had built themselves a shelter of a kind of scorched tapestries and singed car- pet scraps. A troop of Uhlan recrults were practicing the mai onthe little bend bor- dered by the etream—a spot that had been the empress’ flower garden. Six months earlier who, in the wildest speculation of fancy, could have imagined the possibility of such a fate as this for the beautiful chateau? There was the gaunt framework of a bow window whose ottlook was up the Seine in the direction of Paris; this was the chief window, I was told, of the room that had been the private bureau— the “study,” as we should perhaps call it—of the Emperor Napoleon. At that window he sat late on the afternoon of 16th July, 1870. It was a fair scene that lay before him. Out on the lawn close under his eye was the toy railroad track that had been one of the rare playthings of his boy. But it was hardly atime for ad- miring scenery or thinking about te The dreamy-eyed man with his head on his chest had more serious food for reflection. War had been declared. The Germans were mobilizing like clock-work: the French were trying to mob- itize, and finding that the attempt produced chaos. Ollivier had proclaimed his lightness of heart in taking the arbitrement of war. It was in the council chamber next door where Le Beeuf had proclaimed the army ready to the last button on the last soldier's gaiter. But the gloomy, brooding man shared none of Olll- vier’s insouciance; and he knew too well how hollow had been Le Beeuf's swagger. - Ever a puppet, whose wires men with stouter will pulled, he was neverastupid man. His intelligence was 80 keen as to Impair his happiness; had he been a duller man, he would have had a much better time of his spell of empire. He saw him- self poised between the all but certainty of a revolution and the all but desperate chances of awar. In the one direction there was no hope; in the otherhe could not but realize there was only a forlorn hope. For he had read those ruthlessly lucid letters of Potel Metalling the German Hole ie he had seen that loyal officer's finger of warning held sternly and nakedly aloft. He knew that the sham empire had deteriorated the once puissant French army into nearly as great a sham as itself. MARSHAL BAZAINE. Not a very grand soldier, in the physical sense, this man, wno in forty years of steady purposeful duty had raised himself from ont the very ranks to the position of marshal of France. He was short, somewhat tat, long in the body, hort and bulgy about the legs, and with a pasty, rather pasty face. But there were phys- | {eal features that were to be marked favorably. He hada (Jpg straight, manly eye; his mouth hada habit of setting itself firmly; his voice, rather hoarse in its lower notes, had a clear- sounding ring when raised, as it many a time and oft had been raised to bid men follow him in the charge. He could be silent, and he could sit still—two rare virtues in the imperlal- ist soldiery. WOUNDS OF GANERALS IN ACTION. A curious article might be written on the im- munity from wounds in action of some gener- als, and the ill-fortune of others in becoming the billet for a bullet. No commander was ever more forward in the fighting line than Sheri- dan, yet he never gota scratch. Skobeleff, who many atime went af with his own sword, and in his white coat and on his white charger headed every charge with a recklessness that men called madness, had as complete an immu- nity as if he carried the charmed life that his soldiers Laaeiier sy wa’ wounded aly in the quiet trenches by a chance bullet fired into the gira mile away. Wellington was but once hit, the bullet that carried away his boot heei scarce give himacontusion. Grant was never struck; no more was Napoleon. Of Sir Neville Chamberlain again, one of the most distin- guished officers of our Indian army. the sayii goes that he never went into action without Tecelying 8 wound, and the gallant old man has been fighting pretty steadily ever since the first Afghan war. Bazaine was a‘nan to whom For- tune was not stingy in the matter of wounds. At Borny there came to him the leaden remin- der that he was mortal, though this time It was but a gentle hint.

Dr. Moffatv’s Ammoniaphone. From the Pall Mall Gazette. A very remarkable discovery is reported on the authority of a Fellow of the Royal Meteoro- logical soclety, to which the attention both of the faculty and of the society cannot be too speedily airected. Dr. Carter Moffat, cousin of the late Dr. Robert Moffat, claims to have in- vented, after nine years’ study, an instrament known as the ammoniaphone, which contains 7 an absorbent material saturated with peroxide of hydrogen combined with cond ammo- nia and other 1 through which a cur- rent of air is drawn into the lungs. This is said to be in reality a highy concentrated artificial Italianized air, in an extremely portable condi- tion.

The work 1 did, says Anthony Trollope in his autobiography, during the 12 yeasa—from 1859 to 1871—was certainly very great. I teel confi- dent that in amount no other writer contributed 80 much during that time to. English literature. Over and above my novels, I wroté political ar- ticles, critical, social, and sporting articles, for Periodicals, without number. I did the work of asurveyor of the general post office, and so did it as to give the authorities of the department not the slightest pretext for fault ere T hunted always at least twice aweek. Iwas frequent in the whist-room of the Garrick. I lived much in eoclety in London, and was made happy by the presence of many friends at Waltham . In addition to this we always spent six weeks, at least, out of England. Few men, I thtk, ever lived.a fuller life, and I at- tribute the power of doing this altogether to the virtue of early hours. It was my practice to be at my table every morning at 5:30, and it ‘was also my practice to allow myself no mercy. An old groom, whose business it was to call me, and to whom I Paid £5 a year extraforthe duty, allowed himself no mercy. During all those years at Waltham Cross he was never once late with the coffee which it was his duty to. bri me. I do not know that I ought not to teel that I owe more to him than to any one else for the success I have had. By beginning at that hour I could complete my literary work before I dressed for breakfast. All those, I bet jena ays Beet as Weary et Soins ally at rary rs—will ‘agree with me fhat three hours a day will produce as much as ® man ought to write. But then he should 80 have trained himself that he shall be able to work continuously during these three hours; 80 have tutored his mind that It shall not be neces- sary for him to ait nibbling his pen, and gazing at the wall before him, till he shall have found the words with which he wants to express his ideas. It had at this time become my custom—and it atill is my custom, though of late I have become a little lenient to myself—to write with my watch before me, and to require from myself 250 words Sr tuarter of an hour. 1 have found that the words have been forthcoming as larly as my watch went. But my three hours were not devoted entirely to writing. I always began my task by reading the work of the day before, an operation which would take me half an hour, and which consisted chiefly in welghing with my ear the sound of the words and phrases. I would strongly recommend this practice to all tyros im writing. That their work should be read after it has been written is a matter of course; that it should be read twice, at least, before it goesto the printers, I take to be a matter of course. But by reading what he has last written, before he recommences his task, the writer will catch the tone and spirit of what he is then saying, and will avoid the fault ot seeming to be unlike himself. This division of time allowed me to produce over ten pages of an ordinary novel volume & day, and, it kept up through ten months, would have given as its results three novels of three volumes each in the year—the precise amount which so greatly acerbated the publisher in Paternoster row, and which must, at any rate, be felt to be quite as much as the novel-readers of the world can want from the bands of one man. ————_~+e-—_____ ‘The Hammock im Cars. ¢ R. J, Burdette. An advertisement before us in an exchange looks as though it wasa good thing, but we are skeptical. The article is a “‘car-seat ham- mock,” and there is a picture of the hammock swung from the back of one seat to the back of the seat ahead, anckiv the. hammock Is a young lady asleep, and over the picture are the words, “Sleep, darling, sleep.” {fhe girl seems to be asleep, with her foot.in the stirrup of the ham- mock, but there is a weird, wicked wildness about her face that convinces the,beholder that she is wide awake. Such a hammock might be made to work in an empty car ona side track, but in a car running forty miles an hour that girl would get spilled ont on the floor. In the first place, the person with a ham- mock has got to have two whole seats, which no railroad company would allow, unless the girl was a friend of the brakeman. It would be a nice sight, wouldn't it, to see a girl come into a crowded bar, cause passengers to move out of a couple of seats, then swing her hammock and get in and go to sleep. Imagine auch a scene, and listen to the comments of the passengers. The drummer for the grocery house, sitting on the wood-box, would look at her and say: “She looks as though she had only one lung, but she has two galls,” and would go up to the hammock and say: “Is this seat all occupied?” The girl would open her eyes and give him a look that would cause him to pass on to the smoking-car in a hurry. The brakeman would go to the hammock girl and touch her oh the vaccination mark and say: ‘‘Miss, you will have to take down your circus tent and let somebody help you occupy this seat,” and she would paralyze the brakeman with a look, and he would go off and send the conductor in. The conductor would bring the big grocery drammer with him, and gay: “Can't you make room for this gen- tleman?” and then she would be mad. At sta- tions along the line of the road. grangers would stand on the platform and lvok in the windows at the curious spectacle, and, as the train moved off with the sleeping beauty, everybody would be tired except the girl. Girls can think of enough rele to make frees ie on a railroad train wish they were dead without harnessing themselves up in a hammock at the top of the seats, and an inventor who places additional fa- cilities In their possession by which they are en- abled to fore l passengers Is doing a great wrong. It is bad enough to drive along the road and see a girl swing Ina hammock between two trees on a lawn, where the distance from the object ts so great that you cannot tell whe- ‘her the stocking is silk or lisle thread, but to havea girl in the hammock right across the aisle of a car would be tantalizing. and the fear that something would break and that the beau- tiful sleeper would drop down between the two seats, her body shut up like a jack-knife, one foot caught in the shawl-rack and her head on a valise in the corner, her wig off, and the girl yelling murder and calling for the brakeman to uncouple her foot, would be enough to cause the halr of the average man to turn gray ona single trip. The girlina hammock, on cars, must go. ——_____-e-____ Enlarging Westminster Abbey. From the Pall Mall Gazette, It has been known for some time that West- minster Abbey is full, and that unless there is to be a break in the roll of monuments to our illus- trlous dead some place other than the Interior of the Abbey itself must be found for them. Sir Gilbert Scott’s plan was to builda monu- mental chapel to the northeast of the Abbey, long the line of the houses in Old Palace-yard and Abingdon street; but Mr. Shaw Lefevre, in the new number of the Nineteenth Century, ob- Jects to this plan, both on the artistic and on financial grounds, and proposes, as a rival scheme of his own, that the chapel should be constructed on the site of the houses on the east side of the Little Cloisters, and united to the Abbey by acovered passage passing under the buttress of the Chapter House. This plan would involve the clearing away of the houses in Old Palace-yard and Poet's corner, and by thus opening out the south side ef the Abbey and disclosing the Chapter Houseto view would be one of the most splendid improvements that could be carried out. Mr. Shaw Lefevre puta the total cost of £130,000 (instead of £250,000, as under Scott’s scheme) and is convinced that the improvement will be one of the first to be accomplished ‘when the wealthy people of Lon- don rise to a conception of the dignity and beauty of the great city in which they live, and from whence many of them derive their great incomes, and of their duties as citizens.” Mr Shaw Lefevre may at any rate be congratulated on leaving no stone unturned to realize the first of these two conditions, for his term of office willtave added appreciably to the dignity and beauty of London. a ———__—<eo—__ A Wedding Bing to Loan. From the N. ¥, Herald. “This gold ring,” sal’ Detective Groden, of Castle Garden, removing a plain circlet from his finger, “4s not very much to look at, but it has a history.” “How 80?” asked the Herald reporter. “Well,” sald theldetective, “this ring has been used in the marriage ceremony of 185 couples, or 870 people, within the past two years. Just think of it, 370 fond hearts united into 185, on the principle that the twain pecome one when acoupleismarried! They don’t always do it,” mused Mr. Greden, “but that is neither here nor otherwise.” Mr Groden has a Commissioners of Im follow up the faithless one and persuade him to fulfil his promise. The of such cases: and the success which has ded the delicate offices ot Mr Groden-are illustrated by the fact that, as he says, he has assisted at 185 of these in two years. The detective'sring is lent to the, eH OVER THE CATABACT. The Current to Death’s Whirl- and Hew a Prominent Man Avoided it. (Albany, N. ¥., Journad. Among the hundreds of thousands of tourists who have visited Niagara Falls and stood in awe before its miracle of power, there is, probably, not one who bas failed to not'ce the large stone building which stands directly opposite the cataract and a short distanc2 below the railroad suspension and cantilever bridgss. This building is known to all as the “Monteagle House,” and it has been a popular place of resort for hundreds of travelers during many years. Nearly every place in America possessing unusual natural scenery has its legend, and = most trarical one is located on the site where this stone building now stands. Monteagle, a young chieftain of the Miami Indiana, loved a daughter of a mighty chief among the Iroquois. His wooing, uu- like that of Hiawatha, was not reccived with favor by the father chief, and hence he was compelled to resort to the usual methods of abduction and flight. The es- caping pair were overtaken on the banks of the Niagara where the hotel now stands, and rather than submit to capture the lovers cast themselves into the cataract be- low. Thelr bodies were subsequently found at the mouth of the river, clasped in an embrace which even the cataract could not under. Many cccurrences since that time have tended to make the Monteagle famous, and it ‘was with surprise that it was learned a short time since that tho edifice was to be entirely transformed, re- arrenged and re-furnished for the benefit of tourists, and especially invalids. Feeling that this is asubject in which the public would take unusual interest, especially as the National Park question is being so strongly agitated, a representative of this paper visited Niagara Falls yesterday and learned the following facts: Dr. W. R. Crumb, who is about undertaking this im- Portant task, is gentleman who is well known thréugh- out the land, having successfully practiced medicine in the city of Buffalo for nearly thirty years. He ts ex- ceedingly well preserved, though nearly sixty years of age, while hie energy and ambition are something won- derful. In conversation with the reporter he said: “Tanticipate great success here, although a few years ago I should not have dared undertake it, for I was then what people call ‘a dead man.'" “How was that Doctor? How did it occur?” “It was brought about, as such troubles usually are, by mental and physical depression, arising out of trou- bles and reverecs. The mind has a remarkable effect ‘upon the body, and when one meets with misfortunes financially or in any other form they are likely to be ac- companied by misfortunes physically. Such, at all events, waa my case. I was {rritablo, restless and fever- fab. Ihad s heavy and irregular pulse, my food did not assimilate, my heart would throb violently and then stop, and the fluids I passed were profuse, high colored ‘and thick with deposits, I was obliged to abandon my Practice, and also to sugpend pushing my valuable in- vention, known as ‘Crumb’s Pocket Inhaler,’ for thecure of catarrh and asthma,” : “How long did this continue?” “For about two years. I realized that I was quite sick, but like everyone elee I felt it would only be temporary. The majority of people drift along the way a man might who knew nothing about these great Falls and was floating with the current. It is so easy to drift, you sce. At the end of a year, however, my condition became simply horrible. Ihad a seriousirritation of the throat, shard, sluggish pulee, a swelling of the limbe andnumb- ness extending down the thighs. I had terrible night Sweats and my urine was loaded with aibumen and acids. T called in several of the most skillful physicians, but I continued to sink rapidly. I was the victim of Brigh disease of the kidneys, and I looked forward with most certainty to a few weeks of terrible agony, and then—death! * * * It ts painful to describe this Perience and it is sufficient to say that Tam entirely welt and that my life has been eaved by means of Warner's Sate Cure, which arrested the disehee, effected ‘cure, and has preserved me in health ever since. “Then it was this remedy that saved your life, doctor?” “Yes, Ican testify from agratefal heart that it is in- valuable for men or women who are depressed by rea- son of disappointments and reverses: who are losing flesh and strength and who must find relief or a fatal termination awaits them. I prescribe this great remedy tomy patients constantly and the wonderful effects I ‘observed in my own case I see repeated in their expe- Fiences. It is this that makes me certain Ican endure the cares of the great Sanitarium I am about to estab- Ush;* it We Ase Orrenixe THIS WEEK OUR ENTIRE STOCK OF FINE ROLLED PLATE JEWELRY AT A GREAT REDUCTION.
