Whitewash the stable and stalls with lime and cover the floor also with it, as the mange insect will live upon the woodwork for some months, and return to the horse if not destroyed.

" Experiments in Feedine Hogs. An Iowa farmer put up thirty OEeyear old hogs for fattening, acd for the first twenty days fed them on shelled corn, of which they ate eighty-three $ bushels. During this period they gained 827 pounds, or upwards of ten pounds to the bushel of corn. He then fed the same hogs for fourteen days on dry com * meal, during which time they consumed forty-seven bushels and gained 535 pounds, or ili pounds to me oasnei. tThe same hogs next fed fourteen days on corn meal and water mixed, consumed 55? bushels of com, and gained 731 pound?, or 13? pounds of pork to the bushel. He then fed them fourteen ? days on com meal cooked, and after ccnsumiDg forty-five bushels of the ; cooked meal the hogs gained 799 pounds, or very nearly fifteen pounds ol pork to the bushel of meaL Experience With Ensilage. The experience of B. P. Ware is very favorable to ensilage. Last season he planted four acres of Blnnt's Prolific, a Southern corn, some of which grows to fifteen feet in height, and some will weigh nine pounds to the stock. He cultivated with horse-power, and seven men and two horses were employed in harvesting; and these were necessary to keep the cutter running with a sir horsepower engine (which he ordinarily used for pumping water). He cut the ensilage at three-eighths of an inch, and applied to the silo a pressure of 1000 pounds to a square yard. The silos were filled with the product of four acres of corn and three acres of rowen. In feeding he gave sixty pounds a day, or two bushels to each cow. His animals liked it. It increased quantity of their milk and its quality is excellent. % - Mr. Ware's silo is thoroughly built of stone and is cemented, and he believes this necessary in order to secure the best results with the least amount cf labor. ?Cultivator. Ife. ? Feedlnz Cornstalks. PA farmer, writing to the American Agriculturist, says: I have never until now been able to account for the difK farent values various people put upon cornstalks. True, there is a great difference in different kinds of corn, in the way it is fed, etc., but after all the great variation in value is caused by the dryness. That which is cured somewhat moist, even if more or less moldy, is greatly preferred by the cattle to hard, dry, buttle stuff, which has lost almost all its flavor and doubtless a good deal of its nutritive qualities. Simply sprinkling the portions of stalk to be fed'next, so that they will have a % few hours to absorb the water, helps a great deal, but still it is not at all like f having naturally moist fodder. If the water used to soften the stalks is salted and flavored with a few handfuls of bran this would make a great difference. No doubt the best plan to feed corn 3 3 * i_ i 3 _l -a'1_ 1 luuuer i? to cat ana steam it, wiin sucn additions of roots, Dran, etc., as are deg * sirable. Few can qo this; many, however, follow what is the next best plan ?to cut the corn fodder and mix it with . bran; then to pour scalding water in abundance over the mass and cover it up with rubber sheets, rubber army blankets, or place it in a box with a close lid, so that it will have a good soaking and "sweating." In whatever way it is fed it should be cut?the finer the better; but even if it be cut in foot lengths, every farmer will find his account for it. A large part of dry-fed stalks is rejected and gets into the manure, where iu is a great nuisance, -first in getting it out and then in clean culture. Those of us who cannot afford to cut our corn fodder fine?to have it "chaffed," as the English say?can at least be tidy enough to have it cut in six-inch lengths with a broad axe or a hatchet. _ P Successful Poultry Raisins. In raising poultry or stock of any kind, it should be the aim of every one to keep it healthy and improve it. You can do it very easily by adopting some systematic rules. These may be summed up in brief, as follows : 1. Construct your house good and warm, so as to avoid damp floors and afford a flood of sunlight. Sunshine is utJiter man mwuiciiie. 2. Provide a dusting and scratching plac9 where you can bury wheat and corn, and thus induce the fowls to take needfnl exercise. 3 Provide yourself with some good healthy chicken?, none to be over three or fonr*years old, giving one ccck to every twelve h?ns. 4. Give plenty of fresh air at all times of the year, especially in suirmer. 5. Give plenty of fresh water daily, and never allow the fowls to go thirsty. v. .ctrcu. uiiciii ojowmaiuy*u ux three times a day, and scatter the food so they can't eat too fast or without proper exercise. Do not feed more than they will eat up clean, or they will get tired of that kind of feed. i?-y r 7. Give them a variety of both dry and cooked foofi; a mixture of cooked meal and vegetables is an excellent thing for their morning meaL 8. Give soft feed in the moiming, and the whole grain at night, except a little wheat or cracked corn placed in the scratching place to give them exercise during the day. 9. Above ail things keep the henhonse clean and well ventilated. 10. Do not crowd too many in one . _ house. If you do, look out for disease. 11. TTsa earhnlie nowdpr in the dnst ing bins occasionally to destroy lice. 12. Wash your roosts and bottom of i?:? laying nests, and whitewash once a week in summer, and once a month in winter. S13. Lat the old and young have as large a range as possible?the larger i the better. 14. Don't breed too many kiads of j fowls at the same time, unless you are going into the business. Three or four will give you your hands fall. 15 Introduce new blood into your stock every year or so, by either baying a cockerel or sittings of eggs from somo reliablo breeder. [16. In buying birds or eggs, go to some reliable breeder who has his reputation at stake. You may have to pay a little more for birds, but you can depend on what you get. Culls are not cheap at any price. 17. Save the best birds for next year's breeding and send the others to market. In shipping fancy poultry to market send it dressed. WnsMusr Batter. The reason why the dairymen washes butter is to remove all foreign matter and retain all the Gutter with its aroma unaffected, says the American Cultivator When the buttermilk is drawn off and the butter left in the churn the latter i-3 still surrounded vrith many impurities, of which particles of buttermilk tare tie most numerous, aiso particles of caseine or cheesy matter. This latter matter is more liable to spoil or become tainted than the butter itself. Butter becomes rancid through the action of the osygen of the atmosphere, | but caseine becomes putrid; the latter i is being rapidly produced while the ran-! cidity of the buster is much slower in j development. One cf the important problems of the dairy is whether or not these impurities?viz, buttermilk ana caseiiie?can best be removed by wash - - jfig with waterf There is bp doubt that j ' the buttermilk can be all worked out, ! but caseine cannot be so disposed of, I since it adheres to the butter and can ! only be removed by water. The best I it- - j - r i j memuu ui reuiuvat its as iuiiuws. jjcauic j making any attempt to gather the but; ter, and while it is yet in its granulated | state, or rather in separate particles, | say about about the size of a pea, the j buttermilk should be drawn off and a I quantity of pure, clean water thrown i into the churn; then agitate the butter with the water in the churn, draw off the water, then add more water; agitate again, and finally draw off all the water provided the latter is not milky in appearance. In other words, continue to add fresh supplies of clear water, and continue the agitation and the drawing off of the milky water until the water * ' * - ? *L- Li , is periecuy Clear aner me agnawuu, then the washing has had its proper effect. The butter -will now require little working, and the grain is not likely to be broken; bnt if the buttermilk is to be worked out and with it the caseine it is very likely that the grain of the butter will be broken, and the product will have a saivy appearance, which, when cut with a knife, instead of having a blight, shining appearance, will appear dull as lard. Those who contend for working the butter in place of washing urge, as one reason, that the aroma is -3 i -3 AT i. | wasueu uub a-iiu iuai iuo wiviiug vi mo butter is removed. This is not so, since the water removes the impurities of the butter by its mechanical action and not by its solubility. Tnere is no doubt if butter be kept for a length of time in water its color and aroma would be removed, but this is not the case in simple washing and tho butter is cot soaked. In the operation nothing is taken from the butter that it would be d isirable to retain. Washing butter, in its effect, may be compared with the rinsing of clothes in the washtub. Much labor is saved in the washing of butter over the working of the product; and besides, through the former process the keeping qualities of the batter are best secured. Recipes. Delicious Breakfast Dish.?For any family of six take three cups of mashed potatoes, one half a cup of flour, and : half a teacup of sweet mils, two wenI beaten eggs, and a little salt; mix well ! together, shape them small and drop i then; into hot lard, or rcll them into little balls and fry them in a wire basket in boiling lard. Beef Fuddixg.?Cat np nice roast or stewed beef into neat pieces; lay in a buttered dish and pour over a few spoonsful of cold gravy. Let it soak in while you prepare a batter of a pint of milk, three eggs, a cupful flour, a tablespoonful melted butter, a little salt. Pour this over your meat. Set in a quick oven to cook through. Serve hot. Lemox Pudding.?One lemon grated, rind and pulp, one cup of sugar, one cup of water or sweet milk, four eggs, three tablespoonfuls of flour. Line a deep dish with pastry crusts, pour the custard in, bake thirty minutes. Beat the whites of three or four eggs to a stiff froth, sweeten, spread over the top of the pudding and let it brown slightly. Potato Surprise.?Scoop out the inside of a sound, good potato, leaving the skin attached on one side of the hole as a lid. Mince up finely the lean of a juicy mutton chop with a little salt and pepper, put it. in the potato, pin lirJ and hafcfi. Before serving (in the skin) add a little hot gravy if the mince seems too dry. Household Hints. In making a crust of any kind, do not melt the lard in flour. Melting will in jure the crust. To boil potatoes successfully: When the skin breaks, pour off the water and let them finish cooking in their own steam. Iron or steel immersed in a solution of carbonate of potash or soda for a few minutes will not rust for years, not even when exposed to a damp atmosphere. To remove old paint, cover with a wash of threo parts quick stone lime, ; slaked in water to which one part pearl ash is added. Allow th9 coating to remain for sixteen hours, when the paint may be easily scraped oft All iron ware needs thorough cleaning every time it is used, and none more than a gridiron. The bars should be kept perfectly clean and smooth and buttered every time they are used if one desires a steak cooked to perfection. A thin coat of varnish applied to straw matting will make it much more durable and keep the matting looking fresh and new. White varnish should be on white matting.

But so much hair is after all a burden, and soon the photograph will be the only evidence of it.?Springfield Republican. Keep Right On. A certain circuit judge was always sure ox meeting some cutting or sneering remark from a self-conceited lawyer when he came to a certain town in his ronnds. This was repeated one day at dinner, when a gentleman present said: "Jadge, why don't yon squelch that fellow?" The judge, dropping his knife and fork, and placing his chin upoD his hands, and his elbows on the table, remarked: "Up in our town a widow woman has a yallur dog that, whenever the moon shines, goes out upon the stoop and bark3, and barks away ; at it all # night." Stopping short, he quietly resumed eating. After waiting some time, he was asked: "Well Jadge, what of the dog and the moon ?"?"Oh, the moon kept right on," he said. enema? Instinct. Women are especially valuable in the treasury service, many of them rising to the proficiency of experts. This is especially true of them as rapid and accurate counters, as restorers of mutilated currency, and as counterfeit detectors. A man will examine a note systematically, and deduce logically from the engraving, blurred vignette, or indistinct signature, that it is a counterfeit, and be wrong four cases out of ten. A woman picks up a note, looks at it in a desultory fashion of her own, and says: "That's counterfeit." "Wliy ?" "Because it is," she says promptly, and she is right in eleven cases out of twelve. Yet this almost unerring accuracy is by no means theresuit of mere instinct, or of hap hazard chance. It is the sequence of subtle perception, of fine, keen vision, and of exquisite sensitiveness of touch. A naturally quick woman will in time command a skill in her work which it is impossible for men to attain. A Graceful Action. The kind queen of Belgium showed the other day what grace a gentle courtesy adds to womanhood. In the Rue Eoyale, as a cabman was wait id g on the stand, seated on his box, a sudden gust of wind carried off his hat and sent it dancing along the street, while he, unable to leave his horse, was gesticulating frantically to the passers-by, who, insensible to his appeals, were enjoying the scene. Just then the queen drove by in her pony-chaise and, seeing the poor man's distress, stopped, and ordered a groom to get down and rnn after the hat. Her majesty waited till it wa3 caughtand restored to its owner, who, now more embarrassed than before, did not know how to express hi3 gratitude, biie tlien bowed neracKowiedgements of the awkward attempts he made to convey his sense of her condescension, touched her horses, and drovo off, having given a lesson to the little crowd cf rather crest-fallen bystanders, which it is to be _ioped was not lost upon them. Mrs. Garfield. Mrs. Garfield's venerable father, Mr. Rudolph, writes thus to a friend concerning'his daughter and her husband : "She has borne up wonderfully under the great affliction through which she has passed the last year. First, sick herself awhile, and yet very weak when her husband was stricken dowrt by the hand of the assassin ; then the tedious illness until death closed the terrible scene. But we have great reason to be thankful to God she is now apparentlv well and savs she feels well, and she is as cheerft.l as any one could expect her to be. Heis was more than an ordinary loss; he was always so kind, so affectionate. I never knew a husband and father more so. In all the throng of business, pnblic and private, he never seemed to lose eight of his family. Some, you know, have been anxious to know how the general wa3 exercised in mind in the immediate view of death. He was a wonderfnl exhibition of patience ri affliction? no murmuring, no complaining. My daughter tells me that she heard him say nothing about the miserable assassin, only that he did not know why he should shoot him. I rather incline to ask how a man lived tha:a how he died." Sober Men. A great many people cannot understand why the femal6 portion of the community prefer sober men. The matter is simple enough: 1. WivesiLse sober nnsoanas because they can reason with a sober man. 2. The sober man ia more compan- j iocable. 3. Sober men have pride, and pride is a woman's main hold, 4. Sobriety means a comfortable home, 5. Good clothes for mother and children. 6. A house of your own. 7. Evenings at home instead of in a barroom. 8. Better health and the enjoyment of life. 9. An elevated view of life and a sense of yonr responsibility. 1U. You are a cedit to your ^ire and children. 11. People who once despised yon will now bless you. 12. Yonr words will be ganged as yon resist the tempter. 13. jloimg men win pat tern a iter you. 14. You will bo an ornament to society and the whole town in which you live. 15.

A "Wild Horse Kace. The wildest horse race ever known, says the Denver, Col., News, took place on the Denver track on Sept. 10,1860. The horses were Border Kuffian and Rocky Mountain Chief, the pnrse $95,000 in gold. Ruffian was backed by Tom Hunt, bis owner, and Jim Harrison, notorions gamblers. Shortly before, Hunt had murdered a prominent Mormon, and after a brief trial he was condemned to hang for his crime. The scaffold was erected on the outskirts of Salt Lake, near the overland road, and the muiderer was to swing amid all the pomp of a legal execution. In the excitement attending the preparation on the morning of the expected hanging, Harrison entered Ruffian's stable unobserved and spirited the racer away. Mounted cn another horse, and leading Ruffian, Harrison rode to the gallows unsuspected, slipped two six-shooters into Hunt's hands, and before the officials or multitude had re"> - ?i . _ < 7. n I covered irom meir surprise me oauaws were charging down the Webber canon trail at a speed which defied capture. One of a number of parting rifie shots killed Harrisoa's horse, and it became necessary for Iluffian to carry both men. The Mormons pursued the desperadoes night and day, but were powerless to overtake them, so wonderful was the speed and endurance of the stolen bay. Not till 100 miles had been covered did men or beast eat or rest, and on the morning of the tenth day they arrived at Denver, 600 miles from the Mormon capital. These facts once circulated, Ruffian became the hero of the hour. In the Denver race the Greer boys, who owned Chief, backed him. Thousands of men aid women flocked to the track. There was long delay, but at last, amid frenzied clie-ers, the horse? got a start, Ruffian forging ahead from the stand. Chief flew the track, went over a steep embankment, and before he could recover, the heat was practically decided in Ruffian's lead. A yell of disappointment went up from the multitude, and a rush was made to | succeeded in escaping the mob un! harmed, however. More than $100,000 changed hands on that heat. An even start was obtained in the second her4 th< two horses passing into the quarter jh neck and neck. At the half poic Jlnffiin, in response to hard whipping, siowly took the lead. All this time Chief had been given a free rein, but had been spared the lash. Chailes Hamilton, a desperado, who had all his earthly possessions staked on Chief, stood at the back-stretch pole as the horses approached, a-navy revolver in either hand, "L;,y the whip to that horse or I'll drop vou from the saddle," he shouted to Eugene Teat:?, Chief's rider, sighting both of his weapons. Teats knew that Hamilton would keep his word unless the order was obeyed, and, although he was confident that Chief would win the second heat without urging, h6 lost no time in applying the whip. He drew blood at every stroke, and Chief went under the wire a winner of the heat by 1UU feet in 1.42. Then commenced a riot and tnrmoil' the like of which was never before or since seen on a race conrso. Men prilled their six shooters and fired madly, indiscriminately, and gold dnst in the quarrel for stakes was scattered recklessly in the sand. Ruffian was completely broken down after this heat, and the gamblers, appreciating that they were were beaten, became frantic with rage. Con Oram and Charles Switz, who afterwards became noted prize fighters, stood at the door to the stand and held the mob at bay nntil the judges had given their decision. Chief was ordered on the track, and after making the half mile, was declared the winner of the race. The judges had to be escorted from the track to town bj ! an armed escoitcomoostdof volunteers I from the winning side. j Mounted on broncho poniep, with | pistols and bowie knives drawn, the : Greer brothers ar d a iparty of friends | made their way to the $95,000 nugget I and cut it to the ground.

Dr. Thompson, of the Third Presbyterian church, of Pittsburg, Pa., in a recent lecture to the young on "What and How "We Should Read," had this to say of newspapers: If you want to be well informed, you must read the best periodical literature of the day. Much of the brightest and most stimulating thought you Will XI LIU. tUCi C. UIO.UJ TTJLIW [ affect a literary taste sneer at the newspapers. Possibly a few can afford to ! do this?those who live in the high realms of abstract thought or poetry ; bnt to the practical people, who would keep abreast of the world's general intelligence, the newspaper is an absolute necessity. You will, not be well educated without it. I know, indeed, that there is much time wasted over papers. Many things that fill them are so partisan, or so unimportant, or so degrading, as to furnish no intellectual help. Good newspapers have engaged upon them, some of nature's best brain. They cover the world, net only with their eyes, but with their reflections. The man who reads good newspapers will be thereby nearer the movements of tills great age than he conld possibly get in any other way. Mr. Hammerton contrasts the ignorance of French peasants with the keen intelligence and the ability for concerted action of every kind amftner f.TiA nnnnlA nf thfl United States. *?~~ rvwr" 7 and finds the 'lifference in the fact that the latter read the papers and the former do not. The same writer quotes the effect of abstaining from newspaper reading in the case of Comte, the great French philos6pher, who so isolated himself from the living world and its shrewd common sense that, great thinker that he was, he drifted into the most absnrd follies. Since art is so long and life so short, every rofm should read in the line of his work. B e should never be so hindered by the glare of his work as never to increase his horizon and see the lands that lie beyond Bat a man's profession or trade must be to him the largely absorbing thing. If your calling is worthy you:: pursuit at all it will tax you to the utmost. There is no end to the harvest it will yield ynu if you cultivate it. Therefore since you cannot read everything, read toward your aim. Do yon say? " Topn lmw abonfc ceneral rmltnrfi ?" !

Come out, ye dod gasted coward, before ye make an enemy of me for life!" and he belted away at the shell with the handle of the knife, and spattered mud like a dredging machine. "Let me get you a hammer to crack him with," recommended Mrs. Spoopendyke, hovering over her husband in great purturbation. "Don't want any hammer!" howled Mr, Spoopendyke, slamming around with his knife.

"Don't care a dod gasted nickel with a hole in it!" protested Mr. Spoopendyke, thoronghly impatient. "Here's one that's going to open his mouth, or the resurrection will find him still wrestling with the ostenisble head of this family.

"What reasons had. been advanced by , Mr. Eo worth to establish his hypothe- , sis that the mammoth had suddenly dis- ! appeared from Siberia do not appear to be sufficient. Mr. C. Eeid says that the mammaliferous deposits cannot have been formed all at ODce, as there are ! numerous sheets of clear ice presenting strata which must have been successive- i ly frozen. Before one can safely say that milk ; has been adulterated, it is necessary to tf>ke into account the percentage of fat as well as that of solids not fat. Mr. B. Dyer has made analysis of the milk of cows, stall fed and at grass, showing that tLe milk of the former is +he richer, and that an individual eov *ell fed ; can frequently give milk yielding an average of 8.7 per cent, solids, not fat. Du Caux endeavors to maintain that the herring is not a migratory fish, and that it does not move far away from the spot where it is spawned, whether that be in deep water over a sand bank, or near ?hore. He says the herrings spawii dt least twice a year, and that the spawn reaches maturity, not only at the botton of the sea, but near the surface. Few old fishermen will be found to agree with him. Considerable interest is now felt in ballooning, and the lovers of ae" nautics are evidently determind thi something shall be done to increase the usefulness of this department of science. The balloon society formed in England some months ago is now followed by a similar association in Berlin which intends to hold an aeronautical exhibition at some time dnring 1882. Among the plans proposed to the British Balloon society is that of a balloon to be kept under control by means of compressed gas. The gas would be stored in a suitable tank under pressure, and the balloon would be reduced in tize or enlarged at pleasure by admitting or withdrawing gas?which might be effected by simply turning d crank. The balloon would of course fail when reduced in 6ize, and rise as it became expanded, bo lhat ballast and waste of gas would be rendered unnecessary. Improyement in another direction is still sought by aeronauts who are striving to travel considerable distances in predetermined courses. Little success has attended these efforts. Worms have no eyes, and are measurably indifferent to light; yet they can distinguish night from day, and are quicklv affected bv a stroncr light, and after some time by a moderate light shining continoxisly upon them. They do not much mind a moderate radiant heat, but are sensitive to cold. They bave no sense of hearing, but are extremely sensitive to vibrations in any solid object. Worms in pots, which had paid no attention to the sound of piano, when placed on the piano instantly drew into their holes when the notes were struck. Their whole body is sensitive to contact, as of a puff of air. Their sense of smell is feeble, but responds fairly well to the odor of the cabbage and onion or whatever they like, as was shown to Mr. Darwin by some very interesting experiments. Thftv are* omnivorous, and swallow enormous quanities of earth, out of which they extract any digestible matter which it may contain, consnme decayed and fresh leaves and vegetable matter, and raw, roasted, and decayed meat, but like raw fat best. Whalebone. Aside from its oil-yielding properties, the whale also serves man's needs by famishing him with whalebone. This was once an important article of commerce, but the supply and demand have for many years been diminishing. The fact is the whale does not live "in the North Sea" as much as he once did, and the decline in the New Bedford oil business is reflected in a measure in the whalebone industry. As the supply fell off substitutes for the article were discovered. Steel takes the place of whalebone in umbrella manufactures, and the latter now finds its chief uses in the making of whip.3 and corsets. The preliminary preparation of whalebone is about as follows: When the raw bone is received the hair is first cut from the slabs. These are then soaked in water until they become soft, after which all the gum which adheres to them is removed by scraping. They now go to a steam box, where a 'workman straightens them with a knife. After polishing they are ready to be worked up into various forms. There are certain places where ic is probablo that no known material answers as well as whalebone, and it is said that a fortune awaits the inventor who devises an efficient substitute for it. Experiments, looking to this end, have been made with rawhide. Since the decadence of the hoopskirt fever the price of whalebone has declined very materially, but the price was at its zenith in the last century, mu? ?;i ?>-2 unn ? ALIO ?J U IvJil iOllLlCllJ UUIUIJJCU. tt ton for whalebone, but since 1763 it has never commanded such high fignres. In 1818 the price was ?450; in 1834, from $530 to $545; and in 1841 it ranged between $1,080 for Sonthern to $3,550 for Northern bone. We learn that in the upper jaw of the whale are thin, parallel laminae, varjing in size from three to twelve feet in length, and that these are what are known as "whalebone." Ihe quality which commands the highest price is above six feet in length, and is called "size bone." It is said that the Greenland whale furnishes the best bone. From the mouth of these huge creatures from 2,000 tu 3,000 pounds are often taken. Tlie Largest Land Owners in the World. The immense tract of land set aside by the State of Texas to pay for the erection of a new State House has been transferred by the State to Abner Taylor, Hon. C. B. Farwell and John V. Farwell, of Chicago, and A. C. Babcock, of Canton, Tils., who will furnish the necessary funds for erecting the building. . This domain is larger than the State of Connecticut, and five times larger than Rhode Island. It is the northwest corner of the State, and the survey extends south a distance of 197 miles with an average width of 27 miles. Two railwavs are alreadv nro jected through this section of the State. The transfer of these lards is probably the largest sale ever made to private individuals, and the pnrchasers are the largest land-owners in the world. He I)iJ Xot Mincc Matters. A representative of the Lynn (Mass.) Item, in a late ramble throughout that city, gathered, among other scraps of interest and information, the following: The first place visited by the reporter was the fruit store of Mr. J. Levett, No. 67 Market street, in response to a rumor that the proprietor had been cured of the rheumatism by the great remedy. Mr. Levett not being in, the reporter had a talk with his son. Mr. Levett stated that his father had been cured of an exceedingly bad attack of rheumatism by the St. Jacobs Oil. He had the disease in his right arm and shoulder, which became perfectly helpless after being afiected a few hours, flis pain was so great that he could not rest in comfort or at tend to business with any degree of satisfaction. Afttr enduring this sort of thing for some time he purchased a bottle of the Great German Remedy and began to apply it. He did not mince matters at all, but just used the Oil for all it was worth. After pursuing this mode of treatment for three dava the pain was banished and his father was in a perfectly healthy condition. He has never 6ince felt any rheumatic pain. It is calculated the daily papers of the United States issue 1,051,200,000 copies yearly, and the other periodicals bring the total up to 2,000,000,000 copies per annum. Horace B. Dick, E-q , associate editor of the Delaware Count? Republican, Chester, lJa., was cured by St. Jacobs Oil of very severe injuries resulting from a fall. His arm appeared to be paralyzed, but the Oil cured him.?Philadelphia Ledger.

A very singular case of malformation was exhibited to the students of Good Samaritan hospital, in Cincinnati, recently. It was a man named George Lippert, who has three legs. He was born in Bavaria, is thirty-three years old, and the third leg commences at tut) LLip ILL Liic il&LiU OiUO crx uuv wu;. It is doubled up and Lippert sits on it. There are six toes on this foot. The lee which is used for locomotion on the right side has a foot with but one toe on it, and is a sort of club-foot. The most perfect leg on the right side is the one that is bent up, the other one on the same side being shrunken and has but one bone in it. The man has wonderful control over the six toes that are on the extra leg, being able to move and work them about with the ease and pliability of fingers. When a young boy Lippert commenced to bend the leg up so as to hide it from the gaze of the boys of the village where h* Mved, as they were in the habit of ridiculing him on account of his deformity. He is a man of more than ordinary education, being able to speak several languages.

Eagle.] "While Mr. Beecher and Dr. Talmage art making special efforts this spring to save the souls of the people, the Great German Bemedy is supplementing the good work by preserving and restoring health. The two influences are widely different, yet strangely alike. It is one of those rare occasions where the spiritual and physical meet on common ground, both operating differently^ yet each working toward the accomplishment of the same purpose, viz., the * b rm A ? ai uappmess ox mannma. xnua morauzeu me reporter after visiting the great Brooklyn revivals and subsequently interviewing several citizens of New York npon tbe work of the Great German Remedy. Calling npon Mr. John S. Krem, agent for the New York and Baltimore Transportation line, pier 7, North river, the reporter asked that gentleman if he or any of the employes of the company had been using the St. Jacobs Oil this season. Mr. Krem promptly answered that the Great German Remedy was well known by those doing business at the pier. He had used the Oil, and had recommended it to several of the men, and it had never failed to perform all that was needed. He was attacked with lumbago this winter and ?Apin<? tliA manv words spoken by the citizens of New York in favor of the St Jacobs Oil, he concluded to give it a triaL It acted like a charm, subduing his trouble with almoat magic celerity. He had not anticipated such rapid restoration, and confessed that the wonderful action of the great healer surprised him. He had never found such quick relief in all his previous experience, and, since using the Oil, he has never had occasion to employ the services of any liniment for the reason that it had radically cured him of all rheumatic pain. The gratilying action of the St. Jacobs Oil in his own case gave him unlimited confidence in its great curative power, and he freely advised the mon in the employ of the company to use it whenever thoy had occasion to need a liniment. It had given relief in several instances to the employes. The most pronounced instance of its power was in the case of a commander of one of the company's barges, Captain Samuel Jarrett, who was severely afflicted with rheumatism. Captain Jarrett had suffered considerably with the rheumatism, and complained that he could not secure relief, He was told to try St Jacobs Oil. The captain applied the Great German Remedy and fonnd relief. He was tlien in Baltimore in his vesseL Mr. Erem also stated tbe janitress of the rooms he occupied was also healed by St. Jacob's OiL The woman is subject to rheumatism of a severe typo. She did not seem to get relief from any of the remedies she was using, so he gave her a bottle of the German Remedy. She used it, and afterward said it had relieved her, and she was loud in its praise. Mr. Krem said that his experience with the St. Jacobs Oil justified him in pronouncing it a superb remedy, and he emphatically recommended its employment by his friends and acquaintances.

With the renewed activity of the digestive functions nerve quietude returns, an increasing inability to rest soundly is counter- i acted, mental despondency is supplanted by a feeling of cheerfulness and the relish for food is augmented. The remedy is safe and unobjectionable, and may also be relied upon to overcome and prevent fever and ague, biliousness and constipation.'
