Melller: I have for some years been troubled with.
Catarrh, and for the past two years have suffered,
seriously with It. Kotlclnir your advertisement of
&ANFoi;r's iltniDT (Radical Cube), I decided to
try It- 1 havo us d onl r two bottles, and as a result
I feel so much relieved that I presume on our per
sonal relations and write this to you and ar,k that
you take some measures to get It more prominently
before the public, that others may have such relief
a I have. I have recommfiided it to Quite a num
ber of my friends, all of whom have expressed to-
me their high estimate of itvalce and good effect'
Tim mem.
I really thin It Hpartlcnlarlr adapted to wants of
Vt. Louis people, and t!iry all ousht to know cf It,
and those who need It should try "It. I will risk the)
assertion that 1003 1 oz. vials (as a sample) to bo
given away will sell as many bottles.
Try some plan. Let tho people have It: theyneel

M'tnrn. Wet T Potter: Gentlemen, Ono year
ato I was seized with a severe attack of Rheuma
tism In myrlhthtp.to which I wassubject. I tried
tho various ilnlineuts and rheumatic cures, but
without the least benefit, when my son, a druggist,
suggested one of your Colliks'Voltaic Plabts as.
The effect was almost magical, for, to my grateful
surprise, I was almost Immediately well again, and
was sble to work upon tny farm as usual, whereas. -before
the application of the Plaster, I could do
cothlug, and every step gave me pain. A few weeks
since, one year from the first attack, the disease
returned, but I am happy to say tbe second Plaster
proved aaemeaclousas the first, and I amuow well.
Wy wife wishes me to add thiit one Plaster has
cured her oi a very lames back. We think there 1
nothing In the world of remedies that can compara
with the Coixt.VB' Voltaic Plasters for Rheuma

Milwuuke Sua.
The evening of the third day of the
rase an intoxicated man smelling like
a horse blanket, and carrying a
dyspeptic carpet-bag, stopped a street
cjir at the corner of West Water and
Wisconsin streets, and stumbled in.
It was one of those summer cars, with
canvas-back curtains, one of those re
frigerator cars, that makes cold chills
run up your trouser's leg to look at
them. A colored barber was standing
on the back platform, and the intox
icated man hauled his carpetbag to
him aud went in. reeled uu into the
corner as though looking for some
thing. Gimme a lower berth in the
middle." said he to the1 colored man,
as he felt around In the corner for the
door-knob to the driuking fountain.
The colored man laughed and told the
man to take a seat in the middle of the
car. There were only a few people in.
the car ag old man going to the de
Iot, a young couple coming home
from a picnic, and an old maid going
to, the Lord only knpws where.- The
dtunkerr man, who-was evidently from
the country in attendance upon the
pool-boxes of the races, pulled off his
boots and told the colored man, "Ain't
yer going to make up my berth?
The old maid took out her smelling
bottle and acted as though she was
going to faint. His stockings were
old enough to vote, and his feet could
have been condemned by the board of
health. He pulled off his coat and
vest, tried to hang his hat on the bell
cord, when the driver saw him, and,
leaving mules, he came in and took the
man by the shoulder and said, "Xone
of that, bos3!" The man, who evident
ly imagined he wasbehind the curtains
of a sleeper, said: "Shay, con(hic)ter, I
want to be woke up at Camp Dug's,
sure." and he began to make prelimi
nary movements toward taking off his
pants. Sliding his suspendors over his
shoulders, his hand had just reached
his waistband, when a scream struck
him dumb, and the old maid pulled the
bell-strap, and as tho car slacked up,
she jumped off, yelling for a police
man. The driver reasoned with the
man, told him lie was on a street car,
and got his clothes on and pointed out
the depot to him. As he took his
carpet bag and went off, with one boot
in his hand, trying to button up his
vest with the other hand, he muttered ;
"If that old woman had kept her cur
tain pulled down, would't have been
any tr(hic)oublen to all." And he
wandered off into the night.
A good many people in this state re
member Hascall, from Douglas, State
Senator some years ago. Many others
know Mr. Hanscom, an early settler in
Omaha. "Hans" and Hascall had a
bout in the City Council at Omaha the
other night that sounded like early
Legislative days. Here it is.
" It's an infamous falsehood," sang
out Mr. Hanscom from the rear of the
room, he being the gentleman referred
to by Hascall.
The fun now began.
" That's your old argument," replied
Hascall.
" It's an infamous lie," reiterated
Hanscom.
" You're another liar, and an infa
mous scoundrel to boot. I think that
will satisfy you," said Hascall, at the
top of his voice.
All now became excitement, and. its
a Chicago Tribune reporter would say
"the pale air became streaked with"
opprobrious epithets, which were hurl
ed back and forth between the two
men so quickly that the reporter's pen
cil, traveling at a 2:134' gait, was un
able to take them all in. They struck
back and forth like two pugilists
their verbal blows beinsr sent straight
rfrom the shoulder, so to speak.

Tutting on Patches.
Putting on a patch appears to the un
initiated one of the easiest things in the
world: yet, in fact, to do it properly, is
by no means easy. Measure at first the
size of the hole which is to be covered,
remembering that if the cloth around
be worn thin the patch must cover it
all. Lay the patch down on the wrong
side, smoothly and without wrinkles,
laying thread with thread so that it will
set straight; baste carefully, and hem
down the edses cn the wrong side, or
run them down very neatly; turn tho
garment on the right side again, and
cut the hole square, trimming off all
ragged edges and making a tiny diago
nal slit in each corner; turn the edges
in, having previously basted around the
aperture, and hern down on the patch
by a thread. If this has been properly
done your patch will set as smoothly as
if it had grown over the hole. In mend
ing trousers it is better to piece, if you
have the material for so doing. That
is, rip open the leg up both seams, cut
off the worn part and stitch on a new
bottom, press the se:im and new up
agaid. It will show far less than any
other mode of mending. Patches on
sheets, drawers, etc., may be basted in
position and stitched on the sewing
machine; but when great care is re
quired the sewing is best done by hand.
In ligiued materials be particular to
have the figures iu your garment and
the patch match exactly. Still better
than a patch, where very careful mend
ing must be done, is to lit a piece iu by
folding down the edge3 of the hole, and
of the piece which is to till it, basting
them together, o;ie side at a time, and
overseaming with as close stitches and
as tiny a seam as possible. In darning
a rent, place a piece under, the threads
running the same way in both, draw the
lips of the tear as close together as pos
sible, and run back aud forth with line,
even stitches, taking care not to pucker
the darn. The thread for this should
be as tine as possible. Ordinary sewing
silk split aud waxed is excellent; the
Sue twisted threads of silk grenadine
or Heruani answer admirably, and we
have seen a piece of exquisite mending
done with hair from the human head.
In mending gloves let the silk match
the kid as exactly as possible, and over
Beam for a rip; for a tear, button-hole
stitch the edges around closely, once or
twice, as the size of the hole may re
quire, then join the button-holed edges
togther with a single row of button
hole stitches. AVhen darning stockings
leave a small loop at the end of each
thread, for the stocking will stretch
and the thread will not, and in tilling
up do so closely, but not heavily.
Apropos of education, which a great
many persons in England are of opinion
has been carried to a point which does
more harm than good, inasmuch as it
renders boys unwilling to follow the oc
cupations of their fathers, an English
gentleman writes: "I was slaying the
other day in a little box in the country
where a friend of mine lives. He is
fortunate enough to possess one of
those old-fashioned men as servants
whose hands spare their employers the
necessity of engaging another pair of
hands at least. I asked him what his
son whom I remembered a promising
boy was doing? I was told he was
above work, but that he read hand
books of popular science to his mother.
Poor woman! For that sort of thing,
though good in itself, goes a very little
way."

lite oIean Harp.
Measure the breadth of the window,
or other position destined for it, saya
Harper' Bazaar, and make a pine case
to fit it in length, five inches wide, four
inches deep, and of quarter inch stuff.
On the extremities of the top glue two
pieces of oak wood, about half an inch
and a quarter of an inch thick, for
bridges, to which the strings are to be
fixed; into one of these tlx seven pegs,
such as are used for piano strings, into
the other fasten the same number of
small brass pins, and to these fasten
one end of the graduated strings, made
of catgut, such as are used for guitar
and violin stiings, and twist the other
end round the pegs. Within the box at
each end glue two pieces of beech or
other such wood, about an inch square
and tho width of the box, on which to
rest the sounding-board--a tliin board
with a hole cut in the centre; place over
the top another thin board, supported
on four pegs, and about three inches
from the sounding-board, to procure a
free passage of air over the strings.
Where possible, affix the harp in a win
dow having another window opposite
to it. When exposed to a current of
air, and the strings are attuned in uni
son, with the varying force of the cur
rent, the melody changes from soft low
sounds and diatonic scales, to wild but
delightful and harmonious notes. Hid
den in some grotto or shady nook, the
effect of its sweet sounds is peculiarly
delightful. The cases for these harps
may be either extremely simple or elab
orately elegant; but for the dwelling we
would recommend a pretty pine-wood
case, adorned with spray-work, cutting
a monogram for each side, with tracery
of fern3 and sprays, and a border
of ivy leaves. Or, making a wal
nut case, deca'comanie designs may
be effectively applied: or white
wood with paintings in India ink
and sepia, or oil or water-color, will be
charming; while, for outside use, rus
tic ornaments are most appropriate,
and form lovely objects. Tho pictures
from Egyptian vases and other ancient
designs, as mythological characters,
figures from books of travel, taken from
relics, etc., ancient Grecian, Chinese,
And Japanese art, with borders of curi
ous conventional, vegetable, and ani
mal forms, will form pioper embellish
ments for such cases.

backs of tho owners; or, as in Paris, on
a beautiful day, in the Bois de Bou
logne; nor in the house display of costly
curtains of brocade and lace, mosaic
work, fresco painting Bois di Rose
Buhl, or Marqueterie. For, wherever,
such things exist, they seem to be
cloaked, rather than ostentatiously dis
played. Nevertheless, the great and
mighty wealtM of London peeps out, in
epite of itself, as it were. I stool for
an hour in Hanover street, I think it
was, giiiiig with out-stretched eyes and
open mouth upon the horses and car
riages, the servants, the liveries, the
equipages receiving the wealthy visi
tors of an afternoon p ublic concert t here.
Tho ladies and gentlemen are well
dressed, no more; but the coaches, the
coachmen, tho liveries, the horses are
exq lisite all. There wns not a hair in
a horse's tail or mane that did not seem
to have been elaboratly soijne. Coif
feur, or Frisscur of Boulevard, never
more dressed a Parisian dandy for the
eyes of inistres3 fair, than had been
groomed these steeds for this display.
The liveries of these servants were not
so much dazzling as lieh. Scar. et was
not so abundant as sober, tamer colors,
but all things bore the mark of care and
cost. Such equipages were there, not
in twos, nor lives, nor tens, b it in hun
dreds. To an American eye it was a
show cf something between fairy-land
and harlequin aud I ould have gazed
upon it as upon a vaudevil.e for hours.
Tho hiimb'o policeman regulated and
governed the eq iipages of the groat as
if he had been Crcsar, the emperor him
self. The crook of his finger turned back
even duchess or dnk. All were as
obedient to his nod ai d his beck as if
Xerxes had been wrapped up in his po
liceman's coat. The armorial bearings,
the escutcheons about were all Greek to
me, but I suppose they meant muc h, or
they would not havo been so rarefully
wrought for public display. England

Horse Feed.
The London Live Stock Journal says-.
'Every good groom knows that sound
oats and beans and peas in due propor
tion, and at least a year old, are the very
best food for a galloping horse the on
ly food on which it is possible to get the
very best condition out a race horse or
a hunter. It also has recently become
known that horses do slow work aird
get fat, on maize, Indian com, which is
irequently one-third cheaper than the
best oats. In the East, horses are fed
on barley, and it is a popular idea with
English officers who have lived in Per
sia and Syiia that the change of food
from barley to outs, often, when im
ported, produces blindness in Arabian
hoists. Now, although id men under
stand better or so will how to get blood
horses into galloping condition as Eng
lish grooms, they do not, and few of
their masters jlo, know the reason why
oats and beans are the best food for
putting muscular flesh on a horse. The
Hgricultural chemist steps in here,
makes the matter very plain, and shows
that if you want pace, Indian corn, al
though nominally cheaper, is not cheap
at all. When wye feed a bullock, a sheep
or a pig for sale, after it has passed the
store stage, we want to make it fat as
quickly and as cheaply as possibly; but
with a horse for work the object is, give
him muscle in common language, hard
Mesh, There are times when it is prof
itable to make a horse fat, as for in
stance, when he is going up for sale.
For this purpose an addition of about a
pound and a half of oil cake to his or
dinary food has a good effect. It is es
pecially useful when ahorse that has
been closely clipped or singed is in a
low condition. It helps on the change
to the new coat by making iiim fat. A
horse in low condition changes his coat
very slowly.
When from any cause there is diffi
cuuy in getting a supply of the best
oats, an excellent mixture may be made
of crushed maize and beans, in the pro
portion of two-thirds of maize and one
of beans, which exactly afford the pro
portions of flesh-forming and fat-forming
food. Bran is a very valuable food
in a stable for reducing the inflamatory
effects of oats and beans. Made into
mashes it has a cooling and laxative ef
fect, but used in excess, especially in a
dry state, it is apt to form stony secre
tions in the bowels of the horse. Stones,
produced from the excessive use of bran
have been taken out of horses after
death weighing many pounds.
How to make an Aqr.nrliun.
If you want to afford amusement and
Instinct ion to the children, let them
make aud stock an :,quari,ii::; the ma
terials are inexpensive, and any boy
of twelve of ordinary ingenuity can
u ake one. In fact, any glass jar that
will hold from a half gallon to a gallon
of water will answer for a child's aqua
rium. The tanks with flat sides, of
course, are better, because the things
within lock much larger than they
really are. If you stock it with fish
alone, the water must be changed every
few days or they will die, but if a few
water plants be added, the fish and
plants will both do nicely for a long
while without changing the water. Any
common plant such as you will find in
a shallow fresh water pond vill do.
The water slatwork has little chickweed
like leaves 11 ating on the water and
others of a different shape below. This
and the mermaid weed you will readily
.'hid. Wash the r'ants, pick away all
the dead pa: :s and tie in a small bunch;
to this fasten a stone to keep it down
and put it into the jar. Keep it from
direct sunlight for a day or two. Get a
dozen or two of snails, of as many dif
ferent kinds as you can (they are abun
dant in small streams and on the edges
of ponds), and put these iuthe jar also.
Put in a few young tadroles, if they can
be had, and a couple of small fish. If
after a while the fish come to the sur
face often to breathe there are too
many animals for the plants. The
green scum that grows on the side of
the glass does no harm except to keep
you from seeing plainly what is going
on inside. It is really composed of mi
nute and simple plants, but this can
only be seen with a microscope. The
snails will crawl along the plassand eat
off this scum, and if there are not
enough snails to do this, tie a bit of a
sponge to a stick and rub the glass un
til it 13 clear. Tadpoles develop very
slowly, and the changes can be watched.
Lizards are very amusing to 1 ave in an
aquarium. They are fond of flies if
thrown upon the surface of the water
while living. Small fresh water lob
sters can be found in most rivers, and
also look very pretty. A few white
pebbles and pretty shells may be placed
