"And not only that, but no one need ever be sick enough from grip to have to go to bed or quit his usual occupation. Asafetida in doses of sixteen grains, administered four times a day, will completely break up the wont case of grip at any stage of its de­ velopment. Not only will the asafetida cure the grip in its primary form, but it will break up many of the complications arising from it. It is as absolute a spe­ cific for grip as quinine is for ague."

Then coming to the west with her husband they settled in McHenry county, HI., on the farm now owned by Richard Thompson, in Nunda township, one and one-half miles southwest of McHenry. Here she lived until the death of her husband which took place Dec. 27tb, 1868. Three years after the death of her husband she moved to Englewood, where she lived until the time of her death. She had enjoyed good health until three years ago when she had the La with a cough. Aside from this she had seemed apparently well antil November last, when she began to fail, but did not have medical aid until January. Every one had hope of her recovery until about a week before her death when it could be seen the end was near.

FISH FOR LENT1 Ia abundance at Simon Stoffelfi* GARMENTS may be kept for many years from being moth eaten by tying them securely in clean, fresh washed and ironed pillowcases. The'simple fact that the fly will not delve through the barricade will insure the safety of the article. Shake and brush thoroughly in order to dis­ lodge anything that may have found a lurking place within the folds or creases. Newly purchased furs should always be subjected to this treatment in order to detect any lurking mischief. The pro­ cess of shaking and brushing will dis­ lodge the egg, as well as the loose fur, if already moth eaten before the articles are taken from the dealer, as is frequent­ ly the case. The test should be applied immediately after parchasing. Articles hung in a light room are rarely infested by moths, as the fly naturally seeks a darkened place in which to deposit its eggs. . How to Cure Sick Headache. If you ever have sick headache and want to cure it quickly and effectively with none of the debilitating effects of drugs, just take a teaepoonful of red pepper, mix it with vinegar to a thick paste and spread on a cloth, cotton or linen, bind upon the forehead with a handkerchief, from temple to temple, then take about two grains of the red pepper in a teaepoonful of vinegar and swallow it. The mixture on the forehead will burn but will not blister, and in the course of ten minutes the headache will disappear under the stimulating effects of this remedy, leaving the patient feel- ing as if such distressing things as sick headaches.were unknown to the human family.

JOHN I STORY Last Weak of fhe Feather Ranovatinff Commpany. Those who wish their feathers reno­ vated should attend to it at once, as this is positively our last week here. W. G. JOHNSON, Proprietor. A PRACTICE common at country post- offices, says the Edwardsville Intelligen­ cer, is for tbe persons who have lock box­ es to try their key on other peoples' boxes to see if it fits or if the box is lock­ ed. Few know that in doing this they lay themselves liable to prosecution and fine. The act is a violation of Uncle Sam's postal law and is punishable as such. A case occurred recently in which valuable matter was taken from a box in a postoffice by parties unknown. A young man was arrested for the theft and th»ugh the crime could not be prov­ ed it was shown that be was in the habit of opening boxes without permission and was fined |300 and sentenced to one year in the penitentiary. We have a car Choice Minnesota Flour, finest in the land, we offer at Wholesale prices in barrel lots or more. Single sacks fl.CO. JOHN EVANSON & Co. As THE patrons of the McHenry public school are aware, we have been sending each month to the parents a report book containing the standing of the pupils etc. Now, while we are doing all we can to make the school a success, still the best results are eecofod only when the efforts of the teachers are supple­ mented by the hearty co-operation of the parents. And that this may be secured, we call attention to the report books. The ground covered by each examina­ tion is never the same, and, consequent­ ly, if parents find that the grade in any one study is lower than the previous month, it does not follow that tbe pupil has fallen back any. Even the average of all grades may be lower and still there may be no fault on the part of the pupil. At the bottom of the page will be found the pupils rank in the class taken from his average. Parents should note this and if it grows larger each month, it is safe to say that when compared with his classmates, he is not keeping up with them. It requires an enormous amount of labor to issue these report books, and unless they are carefully examined, what might be of great benefit to the children, is.to no purpose. W. H. STBAYER. • WE have a .number of farmers in this vicinity that take much pains in fitting stock to show at tbe town and county fairs, and many of them have been quite successful and received many prizes. We have one in mind now, Mr. John T. One pleasant day we took a walk over to John's farm. We had a very pleasant visit with John and family. John T. took us around to view bis fine stock; the last thing to show us was a very fine Holstein calf in a back shed. John said he was going to fit that calf to take to tbe fair, but had not as yet taught it to drink, but intended to teach him that day for the first time. After chatting awhile we bade our friend good after­ noon, and started (as he supposed) for our home. We passed over the hill out of his view, but instead of going directly home, we went around the hill and came behind the shed, where the young calf was,so we could peek through the cracks and see John teaHhthe calf how to obtain the lacteal nourishment in another way than that designed by nature. Very soon John came out with all tbe strength of his manhood and a fresh pail of milk. The little calf was in one corner of tbe shed, with each leg braced in a different direction, and the following is what we heard. So-o, bossy, so-o, so-o, nice bos­ sy, bossy, bossy, here's some nice milk for him to drink, good boss, ha-ar where you going? come back here, now get in that corner and drink your milk you spotted brute, nice milk, good for calfy, drink like a good bossy, you won't eh ? get your foot out of that pail, you gala- whanged mooley headed little fool; there there, so-o poor ca'fy, calfy, drink his milk to make bim grow like a--get off my foot you doggasted clumsy bullheaded lunatic; come now, I'll give yon a twist at the Welch language and see., how you like that; stick your nose in that pail, stick it in there I say or I'll--Oooh! What are you butting me in thestomach for? Get over there now, so-o, I'll just stick my finger in bossy's mouth and take his head between my legs and then we'll see how--hold on there! Where you going 1 Let me off, you'll tip over tbe milk pail, whoop 1 There she goes! Take that, and that, and starve if you want to, you addle-pated, low-lived runt of a Holsteine. Don't stare at me, yon blank­ ed four-footed lunatic, you can stand there and blat and starve till they strike oil at the village before I'll lift a finger to feed such a measley, knock-kneed, big- eared, slab-sided imp of Satin as you are. John T. went back to the house. Very soon Tim, the hired man, came alorg, took the pail and got some more milk, and in just five minutes by our watch, (which had stopped) he taught that calf how to drink.--Ex. > "̂ 7.

' WE call attention to the ad in this issue of Vaughan's Seed Store, 88 State St. Chicago. There is no more reliable establishment any where at which seeds and plauts may be purchased. They have an established reputation to main­ tain which will not permit them to take advantage of a customer in any way. Visitors at the recent Columbian Expo­ sition will recall the handsome exhibit they made in many departments. They received tweny-eight rewards, the largest number, we believe, received by any firm in horticulture. Their advertisement this week makes the onion very promi­ nent. There is money in onions to those who will give them proper care. In addi­ tion to what may be received from the sale of onions raised, the Vaughan Seed Store offers $250 in premiums for the best crop raised from their seed. Their handsome catalogue tells all about how i* is done and gives full information in regard to all kinds of seeds and plants, including the latest novelties of value. Read the advertisement and send for a catalogue at once. CHAUNCEY DEPEW, in a recent talk to the young men of a New York school said: "The best capital for a young man is legs and "brain. Never try to be better or more than you are, and never think you are smart enough to fool any­ one else. The man who thinks he is smart enough to be dishonest is too smart to live. He ought to die." Speak­ ing of economy, Mr. Depew said: "Save, and when you have your first $100 in the bank, you can say to the fellow who has been treading on your toes, "Young man you can't do that again. AN exchange says that a few weeks ago a Nebraska girl in packing eggs wrote her name on' one of them. Away off in California it fell into the hands of a young man who immediately started a correspondence. Last week he packed his trunk and came to Nebraska to claim his bride. This is believed to be the first tirna in the history of Nebraska that an egg hatched out a wedding.
