FLIES ON THE ADMIRAL’S HEAD. Result of an Irishman’s Attempt to Imitate a Negro in Catching Flies. Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, in “A Sailor’s Log,” published by the Ap- pletons, tells the following story: “When the Rhode Island was his flag ship, Capt. Trenchard, who com- manded, had a very accomplished steward, a colored man, who became so expert in catching flies off the cap- tain’s bald head that he never seemed annoyed by them. Admiral Lardner had for his steward a fine, large, heavy-handed Irishman, who watched the colored man with great envy, while his master, undisturbed, enjoyed his meals. Pat's master thrashed at the flies, and swore roundly as they lighted on his close-cropped hair. The colored man went on catching flies with quick, dextrous movements of his right hand, until Pat could stand it no longer. Drawi beck, he made a vicious swing at a fly, but instead of catching it, he caught his master an awful blow on the back of the head. The captain, thin g there was a mutiny, grabbed the carving knife and made after Pat- rick, who retreated to the spar deck, and there was a hurdle race fore and aft—the officer of the deck and the or- derly trying to catch the admiral, who was doing his best to put the carving knife in the back of Pat, who finally escaped. but never bothered any more about flies on the admiral’s head.” A DOCTOR THIS TIME. ‘ portland, May 6th.—Dr. E. A. Rose, @ “# practicing physician, formerly of Yates { ) “a Center, Kans., was on what everyone supposed to be his death bed. He had Diabetes, and of his brother doctors were in attendance and consultation at his bedside. They had done everything that medical skill could suggest to save his life, but they were at last reluctant- ly forced to teil him that he must pre- pare for death. His aunt had been summoned to his ng bedside. After the doctors had iven her nephew up, she insisted that, a last resort, he be given a treat- ment of Dodd’s Kidney Pills. From the very first dose the tide turned in his favor. His life was saved, and he is hale and hearty to-day. s case and its cure has amazed the uns, and is the sensation of the It is interesting to note that, while many others are being cured by this great discovery in medicine, the physicians themselves are among the first to benefit, and that while the sim- pler and more prevalent forms, such as Rheumatism, Sciatica, Bladder and Urinary Trouble and Female Weakness disappear before it, the more malignant forms, such as Bright's Disease, Dia- betes and Dropsy, which have always been regarded as incurable, are yield- ing just as easily. Dodd’s Kidney Pills are fast super- ceding all other treatment for Kidney se, and as nearly all human sick- d suffering has its origin in the the use of this wonderful med- icine is becoming almost universal.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by consti- tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube. WXen this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear- ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucus surfaces.

The letter is as follows: “A letter has been laid upon our table from the director of the agricul- tural department in one of the most prominent institutions of learning in the United States, in which he asks our impression as to the desirability of Americans entering farm life in Brazil. Although there are countless openings here for labor and capital in the development of agriculture, we cannot say that they would be suitable or congenial for young Americans. In the first place, language, race, and in- stitutions are all radically different and would at first be obstacles; but to these, of course, an energetic, intel-. ligent young man could adapt himself if he tried. But farm life as he under- stands it does not exist in Brazil, nor will he find in this country the induce- ments for agricultural enterprise which exist in the United States. Cli- mate and custom will stand in the way of personal manual labor; con- sequently, he must bring capital to enable him to play the role of a gen- tleman planter, directing his laborers, but not joining in their toil, Then, too, the cultivation of tropical pro- ducts involves a new experience. He will have a new type of labor to direct, new conditions of weather to study, new markets with which to familiar- ize himself. But the really serious obstacles, in our opinion, are artificial rather than natural—unsettled and fre- quently disturbed political conditions, latent jealousies springing from inher- ited antagonism of race and religion, crude idess of taxation by which the development of general agricultural industries or small farming has been rendered quite impossible, a depreci- ated currency which unsettles values, hampers trade, and nourishes specu- lation, and, lastly, deficient protection from the courts. There is no lack of opportunity for enterprise, but the man who devotes himself to the develop- ment of an industry is not appreciated except as a source of revenue through the imposition of taxes. And one of the worst features of the system is the imposition of interstate import and export taxes, which confine the pro- ducer to purely local and restricted markets. An example of this may be seen every day at our ferry station, where chickens, eggs, vegetables, plants, fruits, etc, are compelled to pay an export duty to the state of Rio de Janeiro before they can reach a market in this city. The result has been that many vegetaple gardens on the other side of the bay have been abandoned, because they are no longer profitable. A year or two ago, some Minas Geraes planters began produc- ing potatoes and found a ready market for them here; but an export duty was immediately imposed upon them, and the industry was checked. Con- ditions like these will always operate against the settlement of this coun- try by energetic planters until wiser and more liberal counsels prevail. In southern Brazil the climate is not un- suitable to Americans and north Euro- peans, and there are industries avail- able which would amply repay them for their capital and labor; but as yet we cannot advise them to come.” Ammonia Test of Paris Green. Paris green dissolves freely and wholly in ammonia, becoming a beau- tiful blue liquid; while a majority of the substances formerly used in adul- terating Paris green are insolub This, therefore, is a very ready means of recognizing most of the crude forms of adulteration. If upon treatment with ammonia any of the material fails to dissolve, the same is adulterated. This test, however, is not conclusive, since white arsenic and a number of other substances used in adulterating Paris green, especially in these later years, are soluble in ammonia ‘and would escape detection if this method alone were depended on. Ammonia then affords valid: grounds for reject- ing a sample if any portion of it is insoluble; but other means must be used to be sure of its purity, even if apparently pure by this test. As a general thing farmers do not make enough use of clover about the hen yard and nests and in the feeding of the fowls. How many go to the trouble of cutting dry clover for any such purposes? Yet in nearly all cases it is far ahead of chaff, even for packing purposes. If cut fine it makes a good center for the nests of laying hens and a still better center for the nests of sitting hens. It is far prefer- able to whole straw in which the young chicks may become entangled. Some egg sellers use cut clover for packing eggs that are to go by express using the cut clover in the part of the package containing the eggs and using excelsior only on the outside to sep- arate the eggs from the outside of the packages. Some chicken raisers use cut clover on the floor of the brooder and say it is superior to sand or dirt. Paris green is a definite chemical compound, and when pure should con- tain fifty-eight and sixty-five hun- dredths (58.65) per cent arsenious oxide, thirty-one and twenty-nine hun- dredths (31.29) per cent copper oxide and ten and six hundredths , (10.06) per cent of acetic acid. The samples of Paris green on sale, unless inten- tionally adulterated, will not show a composition greatly at variance with the theoretrical composition given.

Deception has even reached the dis- ciples of Flora, There has lately been introduced into the market a bulb called “the sacred lily of the Nile.” The name is sufficiently catchy to cap- tivate lovers of flowers, and a friend of mine added the new flower to his con- servatory. Time passed, and up came the plant, but when the “sacred lily of the Nile’ appeared he found only an old, but still agreeable friend in the homely narcissus.—East Anglian ‘Times.

Woman as a Parliamentarian. “Yes, sir. I did my best to train my daughter up as an accomplished parli- amentarian. I took her to meetings to give her a chance to listen to the rul- ings of able chairmen, and I had her learn the text-books on the subject by heart. I thought I had her perfect in the business, but I was mistaken. She attended a convention not long ago, and pretty sdon she had a chance to appeal from a decidedly unjust ruling of the chair, and how do you suppose she dia it?" “Well?” “She was excited, you know, and this is what she said: ‘You are a mean old fright, and I just hate you! So there!’ And then she burst into tears and sat down.

WRITE FOR PRICES ON LAUNCHES COMPLETE. A UNITED STATES MARSHAL ' Thanks From Peruna For His Rapid Recovery Catarrh. EX-UNITED STATES MARSHAL MATTHEWS, OF MISSISSIPPI. Hon. S. S. Matthews, ex-United States Marshal of Mississippi, in a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Company of Columbus, Ohio, Hazelhurst, Miss., says: written from ««] am happy to say that I am cured of catarrh and need no more attention from you. It is a great satisfaction that I am able to write you that Peruna has in my case done all that you claim, and that I will need no more medicine.” ‘The great multitude take this reme- edy without any other advice than the directions to be found upon the bottle and in the pamphlets. There are those who prefer, however, to correspon® with Dr. Hartman during their sick- ness. To all such he will make prompt and careful answer without charge. Hon. J. F. Crooker of Buffalo, N. Y. who was for years Superintendent ob Schools at Buffalo, in a letter dated Oc- tober 16, writes: { «<I have been a sufferer from ca tarrh six or seven years, and after trying many remedies was induced by a friend to take Peruna. The results have been highly satisfactory. I ‘ take pleasure F. Crookes, in recommend- 4 *"Piyite eho ing Peruna to any one suffering with catarrh, as my case is complete.” Hon. B. B. Doviner, Congressman from West Virginia, in a letter from Washington, D. C., to The Peruna Med- icine Co., says the following of their catarrh remedy, Peruna: “I join with my colleagues in the House of Representatives in recom- mending your excellent remedy, Pe- Tuna, as a good tonic and alsd an ef> fective cure for catarrh.” Mrs. Mary C, Fentress writes from Paradise, Tex., the following: “I think’I can say that your good advice and medicine has cured me of chronie catarrh. I have had no pains in my head since I have taken Peruna. & have been in bad health ever since ’59, and have taken a good many med- icines which were only of temporary relief. Peruna is the catarrh cure. Tho Peruna stopped my catarrh of the heaé so that it did not become chronic, an@ I am very thankful for Dr. Hartman’s- advice and medicine.” Peruna is a specific for all catarrhab diseases. It acts quickly and bene- ficially upon the inflamed mucous membrane, thus removing the cause of eatarrh. Catarrh is catarrh wherever located. Catarrh is essentially the same every- where. The remedy that will cure ca- tarrh in one situation will cure it ip all situations, If you co not derive prompt and sat- isfactory results from the use of Pe- Tuna, write at once to Dr. Hartmaa, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
