One of the worst enemies tho apple
orchard has to contend with is the cod
ling mctb, which, unless dealt with in a
vigorous manner, is very apt to destroy
the fruit of the orchard. The pasturing
sheep in the orchard, when the fruit ap
proaches the ripening stage, appropriate
to themselves the early decayed fruitjthat
falls, and thus keep in check the worm
which does all the damage. A. R. Whit
ney, of Franklin Grove, Lee county, Ills.,
the largest orchardist in the United
States, having 45,000 bearing trees, re
marked at the recent meeting of the
American Nurserymen's Association at
Dayton, that he could not get along at
all in his orchard without sheep. While
the fruit of his neigbors, who" do not
keep sheep, suffers badly, his apples
are smooth, sound and uninjured by his
mode of preserving them from the
enemy.'
Salt for the Throat.
In these days when diseases of the
throat are so universally prevalent, and
i in so many cases fatal, we feel it our
! duty to sav a word in behalf of a most
! effectual, if not positive, cure for sore
! throat.
For many years past, indeed, we may
! say daring the whole of a life of more
I than forty years, we have been subject
to sore throat, and more particularly to
a dry hacking cough, which is not only
distressing to ourselves, but to our
friends and those with whom wo are
brought into business contact.
Last fall we were induced to try what
virtue there was in common salt. We
commenced by using it three times a
day morning, noon and night. We
dissolved a large tablespoonful of pure
table salt in about a half small tumbler
full of water. With this we gargle the
throat most thoroughly just before meal
time. The result has been that during
the entire winter we were not only free
from coughs and colds, but the dry,
hacking cough has entirely disappeared.
We attribute these satisfactory results
solely to the use of salt gargle, and
most cordially recommend a trial of it
to those who are subject to diseases of
the throat.
Many persons who have never tried
J the salt gargle have the impression that
I it is unpleasant. Such is not the case,
i On the contrary, it is pleasant, and after
I a few days use no person who loves a
; nice clean mouth and a first-rate sharp-
ener of the appetite will abandon it. -Ex.
Tne Vineyard
The capacities of this country for the
production of all the wine we need con
sume are undoubted, and we hope are
at length being realized. Our wines have
of late years been in great demand in
France to supply the losses occasioned
iu their vineyards by the phyloxera,
and no doubt is now entertained that a
large portion of the wine now imported
into this country is the identical article
sent from this side of the Atlantic to
Europe, where it is "doctored" with
drugs and re-imported as a genuine
European production. Maryland, Vir
ginia, North Carolina and other South-
em states cannot be surpassed for their
peculiar adaptation to the growth of the
vine - as a visitor to the Tokay vine-
yard of Colonel W. J. Greeu, near
Fayetteville, X. C. , gives the following
account of it a3 a proof : "I venture
the assertion that it is one of the love
liest spots in the State, and with the
improvements Colonel Green is making,
in a year or two more it will be a place
of as much beauty and interest as any I
know of in the Scuth. There are now
one hundred acres under the cover of
grape arbors and vines of every variety
of grapes. The view from the top of
the wine cellar is not to be surpassed ;
and now, let me say a word here about
the delicious wines made by this distin
guished son of the old North State. I

A Sew Exhilarating Substance.
Dr. Luton, of Bheims, France, calls
attention in a French medical paper to
the exhilarating properties of the tinc
ture of ergot of rye when associated
with phosphate of soda. The circum
stances of the discovery were as follows :
A woman of sixty-two, at the infirmary
of the Maison de Iletraite, in Eheims,
was receiving tincture of ergot of rye for
disease in the knee. Fearing an un-
favorable turn, the doctor thoucht to
three-quarters of an hour after taking
this, surprised the inmates by bursting
into loud laughter, without obvious
reason, and this continued for more
than an hour, with brief intervals. The
laughter seemed to be associated with
merry ideas, and to indicate a kind of
intoxication. For some time after it
died down the woman was in great
spirits and good humor. Dr. Luton had
nt witnessed the scene, but the con-
sequence to the patient being good, he
administered the substance again, and a
bird time, observing tho same effect.
The experiments were further repeated
on seven or eight women and girls, with
like result. In the case of men, the
action of the substance is less marked ;
it appears only in coloring of the face,
giddiness and slight headache. The
effects in question have probably a
common origin, it is thought, with those
from eating rye-bread when, in rainy
years, the cereal contains as much as
five per cent, of ergot. A sort of intox
ication is produced, which the consum
ers by no means despise.
Some persons do ask the queerest
questions. A woman writes to an editor
asking "how to kill roaches." There
are hundreds of ways to kill 'em, and
one of the most effective is to catch a
roach, place it on the bake board and
hit it a smart blow with the potato
masher. Another sure way is to drive a
lathe nail through the insect, or get it
between the leaves of a big dictionary
and slam the volume shut with italic
emphasis. It is easy enough to kill
roaches, but how to catch 'em may
bother her.

POPULAR SCIENCE.
Paper belting is used with success in
the machinery hall of an exhibition now
held in Japan. It is stated that the
belting made of paper has been tested
and found to be much stronger than
that of ordinary leather.
In bread making one of the products
of decompofcition by fermentation, be
sides carbonic acid, is alcohol, which, dur
ing the process of baking, is dissipated in
the oven. The quantity thus produced
is equal to a quart of proof spirits for
every four hundred pounds of bread.
Mr. R. H. Chittenden is inclined to
the belief that in the stomach there are
two stages of digestion, separable from
the other a first, in which the action
of the saliva can go on without hin
drance, and a second, in which the pep
sin alone is active.
In a recent work on the nests and
eggs of birds, Dr. R. W. von Reichenau
states that the ornamental plumage,
crests, etc., of the male bird are due to
an ex .'ess of energy, while the vitality of
the females is exhausted by the produc
tion of eggs and the task of incubation.
An English scientist considers worry
and overwork to be the most important
causes of debility. The men, he says,
who first enticed women and children
into an industrial career, and they who
have in later times devised the scheme
of a competitive examination, have done
more to enfeeble the British than can
be counterbalanced by the most perfect
systems of drainage and ventilation,
with the highest personal cleanliness
superadded.
In a lecture delivered before the Royal
Institution of Great Britain Prof. Ball
said that if the ideas of geologists in re
gard to the ago of the earth were cor
rect, and that if 50,000,000 years was
comparable with geologic time, then "in
no probability none of the stars now
visible to the unaided eye can then have
been visible from the earth."
A correspondent of Chamber's Journal
cites some striking instances of the value
of oil when cast upon the water in en

vessels.
According to Vcsi-jn and Work,
smooth, strong and pliable parchment
can be manufactured from the palmetto
of Florida and other Southern States.
The parchment can be washed, rubbed
and handled just like a cloth, and the

cheaply manufactured, and is likely to
como into general use for legal docu
ments, etc. As much as sixty per cent,
of the weight of the palmetto, it is said,
can be utilized in the process.

THE HOME DOCTOR.
Curs Fob Scarlet Feveb. An emi
nent physician eays he cures ninety-nino
out of every hundred cases of scarlet
fever by giving the patient warm lemon
ade with gum arabic dissolved in it. A
cloth wrung out iu hot water and laid
upon the stomach should be removed as
rapidly as it becomes cool, in cases
where physicians are not easily obtain
able, simple remedies are not to be
decpised.
Sprains. Sprains are always promptly
relieved by allowing the coldest water
to faU upon the part steadily, until no
discomfort is experienced. Repeat as
often as necessary ; keep the sprained
joint elevated, if about the hands, and
horizontal if about the feet, bo as to
promote the flow of blood from the parts
by gravity ; and live for a few days on
fruit and coarse bread maioly.
Hay Fevee. The following commu
nication to the New York Sun is of
interest to hay fever sufferers : "Tho

half of which period she could get no

itching of the eyelids and almost con
stant sneezing which characterize the
complaint in its worst form bhe had to
endure until six years ago, when the
following remedy was brought to her
notice in the columns of a newspaper.
Into "a four-ounce wide-mouth bottle
half filled with cotton, and having a
close stopper, put the following mixture:
2 drachms carbolic acid ; 3 drachms
aqua ammonia (specific gravity 0.900); 5
drachms distilled water; H drachms
alcohol ; inhale through the nostrils.
This mixture, being of a volatile nature,
must be kept as much as possible from
exposure, in order to preserve its
strength and prevent too deep discol
oration. It does not purport to be a
specific, for that has not yet been dis
covered ; but it has proved itself a ready
relief in the case of the writer and of
many who have suffered in the same
way.
Ox Harty Eating. There are habits
in eating as well as in drinking or smok
ing. There are different classes of eat
ers, such cr the bolters, who swallow
their dinners in five minutes and then
run off to the workshop or the 'count
ing house ; the gorgers, who think that
the great end of life is to "cat, drink
and be merry the gourmands who
stuff their stomach as they would a sack
with coin ; the dyspeptic eaters, the
nibblers, who aro chiefly ladies who
liko to keep themselves petite and deli
cate, and those who eat reasonably. The
bolters and gorgers are certain to become
dyspeptics and the nibblers to be
affected with nervous disorders. The
stomach is net so strong as some people
imagine, and when people become ill
from those careless habits they run to
the doctor to cure them of what they
could easily have cured themselves and
saved their money and their health.
After a person Las eaten a meal he
should wait a little while before going
to business. We are all well enough off
with three meals a day with well cooked
food. Young women ot the nibbling
class ought not to be ashamed to eat a
good hearty meal instead of rating lit
tle and often. Dr. K fl. .Ia.;t;tr-i4. Xeu
York. The Snpertitiou .f Solid Men.
A couple of solid citizens solid in
avoirdupois as well as in their bank
accounts were iu a Georgetown, Col.,
hor?e-car, when a man came limping
aboard, apparently suffering from rheu
matism. One of the solid men remarked :
"I've never had twinge of rheuma
tism in my lif," and at the same time
he took from his pocket a horse chest
nut, and he played with it with an air
that seemed to imply "This is the lit
tle joker that did the business."
But no sooner had solid citizen No. 1
displayed hw chestnut charm with a
contented air than solid citizen No. 2
also drew from 1m pantaloons pocket
a horse chestnut.
Said the first citizon :
"I've carried this for thirty years."
"So have I carried this for more than
thirty years," replied the other ; "but I
don't carry it for rheumatism, I carry it
for gout."
A passenger who had been an in
terested listener to the foregoing, rather
timidly asked one if he really believed
there was any value in the horse chest
nut. "No," answered the man.
"Then why do you carry that thing
about with you V"
"Because it don't cost anything, and
can do no harm if it does no good."
"It shows a little superstition, though."
"Very well ; I'll shoulder it. In the
meantime I'll keep on carrying it. I've
carried it thirty years, and have not been
troubled with rheumatism. And I know
of others who can testify to the same
good results." The lame man who had
got aboard the car and was the cause of
this episode put his hands into his
pocket and drew out a horse-chestnut,
and held it up to the gaze of the others.
A ripple of laughter went up, and the
two solid citizens who had pinned their
faith to the nut anticipated a set-back
from the lame man. But the latter
remarked :
"Don't laugh, gentlemen ; I have
faith in the horse-chestnut. I got a
sprain a few days ago. My lameness is
not rheumatism; I had a touch of rheu
matism about ten years ago, and I went
and got a horse-chestnut and have car
ried it in my pocket ever eince. And,
gentlemen, I've never had the rheu
matism since." Perhaps three men
carrying horse-chestnuts is a rather
big average for one horse-car load
of passengers, but there are more mas
culines with these chestnut charms in
their pocket than Dr. Tanner in his
philosophy "ev? dreamed of,"
