A'fl’HtAlWE RESTWISCBNCE. The Rm»p« <4 k knwvn -*-Army Siireooa from ftn Unforaevn O.nBer. (P-'.ltlmore American.) Messrs. Editors: 1 seldom appear publicly in print, but the facts connected with my experience which follow are so stnkimt, and bear so closely upon the experience of others, that I venture to reproduce them entire: In the month of September, 1879, I was practicing medicine in New Orleans. The summer had been excessively hot and everybody; was complaralng of being ex hausted and feeling tired, it was not an unfrequent occurrence to have patients ask for something tp relieve this weary sensa tion, and that I should also partake of the same Universal lassitude or weakness, did not alarm me; I supposed that over-wora and exposure had .produced a temporary physical prostmtiob; therefore 11 made a tnp to St. Paul, Minn.,thinking that a few weeks in a cooler climate would soon rein vigorate me. * I4ttle did I dream, howev er, what was in store for me. After get ting settled in my new quarters 1 took a short walk every day, and patiently await ed a return of strength, but m spite of all mj efforts I seemed to 'k losing strength; and even way slight ekercise became labo rious and tiresome. During this time I had frequent $ifi aohinp^fains in my head and through my hack and hips, occasional shooting pains in various parts of the body, with soreness, shortness of breath, and pal pitation of the heart. My feet and hands would be like ice one day, and bum with heat the next. I had no desire for food, and w&t I did eat distressed me; my sleep became dbturbed with the frequent desire to urinate. The quantity of fluid passed would at one time be small and at another quite profuse. Then for days I would be perfectly free from this desire and nothing seemed to be the matter; nevertheless my debility gradually increased. My eyelids were puffed oqt; my boyels were alternate ly torpid andHod active, the urins would be clear some days, on others it would be ot high cotor und deposit, a black dust sedi ment, and at still others there would be a whitish appearance and a thin greasy scum woidd rise to the top, The pains in my head, back,.cheat, joints,bowels and bones were horrible in the extreme. 1 went in vain from place to place and consulted the best medical authorities the country af fords; I wpuld have a chill one day and a burning fever the next- I suffered excru ciatingly with a numbness of my feet and hands, and at the base of the brain and be tween my shoulders; at times my limbs and body would bloat and physicians said 1 was suffering fforn the dropsy and oould not recover. U.' ‘ . flow I could be so blind to the terrible trouble that was devouring me, I do not know; but there are thousands to-day who are suffering from the same cause and are as ignorant ot its nature as I was. My skin was the color of marble at one time, and then again it would be like saffron, and this terrible restlessness, and I might say wildness, was fallowed oy a dull, heuyy, drowsy sensation. 1 was wasted to a mire skeleton except when the dropsical bloat occurred. I tried all the celebrated min eral waters of this country and Europe; all kinds of medicine and all kinds of doctors. Ktill no help came. 1 lay at my hotel in Philadelphia, where I was temporarily so journing, given up by friends and physi cians alike, when there providentially came into my hands a little pamphlet which 1 carefully read, and from wbicn I got a view of my real condition, which no other agency had revealed. Acting on its advice, 1 had my water analyzed at once, and to my surprise, albumen and tube casts were found in large quantities, A skillful physician was sent for and apprised of the fbet. fle said I had Bright’s Dis ease, and that death was certain. My friends importuned me to take a remedy which had won a great reputation for the cure of all forms of ktduey disease, and 1 therefore laid aside my prejudice and com menced its use. At first my stomach re jected it and 1 had to use small quantities; but after the first five days my stomach re tained full dyses. This wffi one year ago last October,’: and my improvement was rapid and permanent. I have regained 50 of the 66 pounds of tlesh I lost duiing my illness, and 1 feel as well to-day as 1 evei did, and loan unreservedly'state that my life was,saved by Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, the remedy 1 used. It may seem strange that I, being a phy sician and an ex-army surgeon, did not have the water analyzed before; but such is the fact. 1 had the symptom* of every other disease, and I did uot ‘suspect that my kidneys were iu the least particular out of order, and here is just where l was in the greatest dagger,; and where ’ most people who read this article are in danger. 1 find Uiat 1 am only one of thousands who are suffering from kidney disorders, which neglected, surely terupnate in Bright’s dis ease. I also kifow that physicians may treat these disorders for months without' knowing derffy What the trouble is, and even after ascertaiping the cause, be una ble to prevent it "When degth, however, finally overtakes tho^itlQKsd victim they disguise its real cause, attributing it' to heart disease, convulsions, apoplexy, ver tigo, parafewiib spinal meningitis, blood and uremicpoi&ohJng, cfc., etc.' Words, of course, fad to express my thanks to A. fl. Warner & Co., of Roch ester, fl. Y., for giving Utu world such a needed and certain specific as the Sate Kidney and Liver Cure, but such as they are 1 glably g!V« tfawh; While to the thous ands to whom I have lectured upon the laws of health ana hygiene I commend this letter most cordially, and warn them to beware of the insidious nature of a dis ease over w^hieh physicians confess they have no control and which m one form or another, is carrying more people to Untime ly graves than any other malady. i. -M. PORT SR, M. D. Baltimore, 94 Saratoga street. , A Southern exchange gives a plan for counting sheep somewhat as follows: The sheep are’allowed to run through a narrow chute; the counter stands where he can. check the run of sheep, and has a string of tightly-fittingrleather buttons, all at one enr; as fast as 100 sheep pass, a button is umed to the other end. OJ a hundred psas preserved in the free air by Messrs. Van Tieghem, and Uaston Bonnier ninety afterward germinated: of a hundred inclosed With air in a sealed tube only forty-five, while of a like lot kept in eubomc add gas roue grew. Similar re sults were obtained with other seeds, show ing clearly that ail seeds should be stored where pure air may have access to them. To draw a load on a sand road requires a power equal to one-fifth the weight of the load, an ordinary earth or dirt road re duces this, approximately, eibs haff, while a clay bed read again reduces a half, good cobbles require a thirtieth equivalent, while American Belgian blocks necessitate a fortieth. Asphalt is calculated as requir ing one hundred and fortieth, while the leverage on-ap ordinary railroad is but one two hundredth.'* Heduclfcg this w practi cal horse power, one horse, on an ordinary rail, can draw a wagon weight that would requ.re the power of iwenty horses over s common dirt road, and of forty through a Jertey sand path. This simple proportion • la a valuable guide in close loading.” AGRiO CliTURE. ArUINISTERINN DRUGS TO DOGS AND Pioa.—The following is the safest method of giving medicine to dogs in a liquid form Tie the mouth and have him held firmly. Then draw out the cheek, which acts as a funnel, and pour down the duid. fl he clenches the teeth so as to excluds the liq uid, but a bit of wood between them. In giving a bolus or ball, one person should hold the dog between bis knees, the hinder part resting on the floor. Another person then torcee open the mouth by 'pressing the forefinger and tk umb of the left hand upon the lips of the upper jaw, and with the right thrusts the ball tar enough back toward the animal’s gullet to Insure its ready passage to the stomach. To prevent disgust and. sickness nau seous medicines should be enveloped In thin paper or m a thin flour wafer. When ever possible the necessary medicine should be introduced into the food of the pig. If this is impossible small pigs may be drenched by seizing them by both ears, placing them between the legs, and lifting them a few inches from the ground. The medicine, previously mixed, is gradually poured into the mouth from an iron spoon by another perron, the elevation of the head causing the mixture to pass back ward, and thus be swallowed. For large pigs, the operator can hold the head firmly between bis knees, while an assistant se cures the hinder portions. The first, lilt ing the head & little, turns it somewhat to the right, separates the lips on the right side, when he can pour the contents of the horn or bottle into the angle of the mouth. Or again, the animal may be secured by a running noose to a post, and then be drenched by a single person. The tortilla is a kind ot bread used by the Mezas (we Americans call them May- az), the aboriginal natives ot Yucatan. It is cake made of crushed com, which is first lioiled, then soaked in lye to sotten the husk, then repeatedly washed in water, with which it is ground into a paste on s ones, “metates” which are said to be the same as those used in ancient Egypt.Thin, circular cakes, about six inches in diame ter. are made of this paste, about one- eighth of an inch thick, and baked, or rather ‘ heated through,” on an iron slab, and they are eaten with ground chill pods or red peppers. It is interesting to know that the people who eat this kind of bread men and women, are exceedingly clean in their habits aud amazingly honest. They .are said to be quick to l^arn. ‘ <Pn fkfs r KnapivoJ the Iowa Agri cultural College, writis, saying that “tak ing the best specimens of each breed of cattle aud carefully comparing them 1 can uot see for beef purposes, one has very much advantage over the olber. I have seen Polled Angus heifers, at 2 years old, weigh 1800 pound?. These were se lected in England aud imported. Both Herelords and Short-horns have equaled ' it, and I venture the assertion that, if an equal number ol the best specimens of those breeds were selected and placed und t the same conditions, there would be scaicely any difference in the profit for beef. There is no sense in paying $1200 for a Polled Angus heifer when an equally good Shorthorn can be bought for one- sixtu the money. The duty of fumigating green houses is one of such au unpleasant character that it 1* often neglected, to the injury of the plants. A French horticulturist has made a discoveiy which will render it unneces sary to use smoke for the purpose, fle finds that the vapor from boiling tobacco juice is as efficacious as are the fumes of the burning weed. The method adopted is simply to mix a small quantity of juice in the water and evaporate the whole. The vapor, it is said, kills all insecls m the house. Could not the same plan be ado; - ted against house flies and mosquitoetf Its recommendation would be its cheapness, for the juic s could be expressed f loin the refuse tobacco which is now thrown away at the factories. Do not forget that swales, swamps and any wet land with hard pan near the sur face pays very small interest, If auy, m their present condition. If drained three feet deep vrith tile they will pay a very large interest on the original cost, and on the drainage besides, it is not unusual to get tack the c^st of drainage in 2 crops alter thef tiloe are laid. Where tiles can tie had near,; ; or at a cost for freight not exceed’ng their price at the kiln. It is cueaper to dram wnh tile than with stone. If these are not available and stones are upon the ground, use these. Dreining will open a. new wot Id to the farmer who has never tried it. Put down the “crockery" this fall' and make your capital in land draw a good interest. A “o >rn of wheat” is a little thing, but marvelously complex. Through the cen tre of the kernel i uns a groove, so that a horizontal section is heart shaped. Under a glass we see that' it is very composite in structure. The outside layer or cuticle, which forms the bran, is comprsed mainly of siiex, the mineral base of sand, which by means of the pota»h in the soil is made soluble, and is carried by the little veins of the wheat plant and deposited with the woody tissue. The nutriment iu this tu ple coat is not digestible by the human stomach, but is excellent for catt:e. The layer next the inside this is styled gluten. This is a complex substance and in the highest degree nutritious, especially to the muscular tissues of man. An Illinois horticulturist his construct ed a truit house, which ia to be a protec tion alike from summer’s heat aud winter's cold. Two mws of po tz are set in the mound, two and a half feet apart, boarded up inside and out and the intervening space filled up with straw, packed in as closely as possible. Two sets of rafiers are put on, ihe upper set three feet above the lower, which are boarded on upper sides and the space closely packed with straw,alter which a cheap board is put on. Ou’the 11th of last August, with the teiu- perature 98 deg, in the shades, in it was as cold as an ice-house, ami contained a quantity ot apples as sound as when taken from the trees ten months before. A suocESsri'L truit grower thinks that many apple trees are set too near together; two rods apart ia near enough. The laud for au orchard must be kept iu good con dition. He top-dresses his oi chard once Id three years, principally with a thick coaUng of straw, fle allows hogs to run iu his orcharfi, Stod ’plows the land until the trees are so large as to inteifere with such a practice. Last year he picked 45 barrels of Greenings from four trees. Or chards thrive best mar bodies of water. Trees should be judiciously trimmed while young. Many trees are injured by over- pruning. Trees should be grafted when they are from one inch to one and one- half inches in diameter. Australia presents the strange anomaly of choice breeding rams selling ai $1090 to $2000 per head while mutton Is worth 2} @8 cents per pound. There Is evidently a wider gap over there between the appre ciation of wool and that of mutton than wvuid seem to be reasonable or wairanted. DOMESTIC. Gath Cloaks.—The novqjty of the present season in outdoor garments is a revival of the winter cloak of many years ago. shaped and modified in ac cordance with the better ideas of to-day. This cape cloak is useful and economi cal; the cape is not detached, but forms part of the cloak; it admits of a slight draping at the back, and constitutes the sleeves, which partake of the dol man or visrte form. It is fitted in at the back, and therefore presents a neat and lady-like appearance, and may be serviceably made in doth with a braided trimming for border, and also down the centre of the back, if that is liked. It is a much more desirable form of cloak for the country, for.ohcroh wear, and for riding than the circular, which ex poses the arms and chest It is beauti fully made in dark shades of doth, and also in cashmere doth in small palm patterns, with olive shades in them. These should have a black velvet collar. Another doak, an imported design, is a straight sack with mandarin sleeves and dark velvet ooliar. It is made in striped Chinese silk and wool stuffs with gold and black in them, the stripes narrow and indistinct; the lining is quilted sat in. Brocaded velvets and pi eased plash are us id for the outside of the richest garments, excepting the few made in very rich plain velvet, lined with splen did iurs and dasped with precious metals, Naturally, of these there are few, but they must be stud to occupy the first place, the cost being from $500 to $1000. Appetizing Sandwiches.—Take equal quautitiea of the breast of a cold boiled chicken and of cold boiled tongue. Chop them very fine; so fine, in fact, that you cannot distinguish the separate particles. Add a good larg<.< half-tea- spoonful of celery salt, a pinch of cay enne pepper and four tablespooufuls of mayonnaise dressing. This quantity of condiments will be enough to season the breast of one large chicken and an equal quantity of tongue. When this is perfectly cold, spread some thin slices of bread with butter, and then with this mixture. Do not prepare them till you are about ready to serve them. If you wish to take sandwiches for a lunch when traveling, be carefni not to make the dressing quite so moist as you would if they are to be eaten at home. The better way, if you do not object to the trouble, is to put the salad filling in a small glass jar, and spread the sand wiches as you need them. Devilled Crabs.—One dozen fresh crabs, boiled and pickled (or one can of fresh crab meal), quarter of a pound of fresh butter, one dessertspoonful of mustard powder, cayenne pepper and salt to taste. When canned crab is used, draw all the liquor from the meat into a bowl, and mix carefully with an equal quantity of fine bread crumbs. Work the butter to a light cream, mix the mustard well with it, then stir in very carefully a handful at a time of the mixed crabs and crumbs. Season to taste with cayenne and salt, fill the crab rhells with the mixture, sprinkle bread crumbs over the tops, put three small pieces of butter upon the tops of each, and brown them quickly in a hot oven. They will puff in baking, and will be found very nice. Every nouae-wiie should know that sugar boiled with an acid, if it be but three minutes, will be converted into a glucose, which is the form of sugar found iu sweet apples. One pound of sugar has as much sweetening power as two pounds of glucose. In other words, one pound of sugar stirred into the trait alter it is cooked, and while yet warm will make the fruit as sweet as two and a quart, r pounds added while the fruit is boiling. Save your ..ugar by a chemical knowledge It is an established fact that if fruit is sweet ened when it is hot it requires much more sugar than if sweetened when cold. Alcohol Good for Burns.—The most cleanly dressing for a bum or scald is to saturate a soft piece of fabric with alcoitol, lay it over the burn, then cover it with cotton or finely picked oakum. It may be thought, says the Bouton Journal of Chemistry, that al cohol applied to a burn will produce more pain; but try it,-and you will be agreeably surprised to observe how quickly it will allay the pain. Subse quently disturb the dressing as little as possible; wet the dressing occasionally witn alcohol, and the result you will find better than by any other method. A Bar-Harbor Dish.—Take half a pound of suit pork, cut iu small pieces, fry them till brown; take them on’, and in the fat thus obtained put a pound of haddock or of fresh codfish, half a dozen potatoes cut in thin slices, some crackers or pieces of hard bread broken in small bits, half a teacupful of sweet miik, a lump of butter the size of a small egg, and pepper and salt to taste; thicken with a little flour nibbed smooth with the butter. When the potatoes are done serve. Putwng an Egg m a Bottle.—To accomplish this Beamingly incredible act requires the following preparation: You must take an egg and soak it m vinegar and in process of tune its shell will become quite soft, so that it may be extended lengthwise without break ing, then insert it in the neok of a small bottle and on pouring cold water upon it, it will assume its former figure and hardness. This is really a curiosi ty, and hafflee those who are not in the secret, to find out how it is aoomphshvd. One dram of carbolic aaid, six drops of oil of lavender, and two and a half ounces of olive formed the presoiption which proved eflectual in destroying a parasitic affection of the moustache of a gentleman who consulted Dr. George Thin, London, England. The hair had fallen oat, and a sort of baldnes occurr ed in spots, but after the application of the remedy the hair grew again as thick and healthy as bef re the parasites had attacked it. Gelatine Frosting, -floak one tea- spoonful oi gelatine in a tablespoonlul of cold water till it i. soft; it will take about half au hour to accomplish this; then dissolve it in two tablespoonfnls of hot water; stir in while still warm one cup of pulverized sugar; keep on stir ring until the frosting is perfectly smooth. This is a quantity sufficient for the top of a large cake. Shrimp Salad.—Peel the boiled shrimps and when thoroughly cold arrange them in a circle upon leaves of fresh lettuce. Pour some t ryonnaise sauce in the centre and serve. Some times a tablespoonful of chopped pan- ley is added to the dressing for thi« Japan is discussing a patent law which proposes to give the introducer of any de vice new in Japan a indent, in order to en courage the importation of machinea. HUMOROUS. The stranger carelessly tucked away in his vest pocket the change of a $5 note that a Brooklyn bartender handed to him after serving a warm drink. There was nothing strauge in that, bnt subsequently the bartender said to the bystanders: “I have made a customer of that man. How ? Why, as easy as rolling off a log. I have given him a fifty-cent piece with a hole in it He’ll come in to-morrow when he’s going by, politely call for a drink, inform me in the kind est manner that I have unintentionally put ia on him a fifty-cent piece with a hole in it. To all of which I will reply good-naturedly that I am really sorry, and ask the man to take a drink with me. We are both feehug quite satisfied with each other, and there is no refus ing. Reminiscences follow. The man spends three or four half dollars with me and then leaves, saying I am a jolly good fellow. I have bought all the perforated corns that I can lay my hands on. Bnsiness has increased thirty per cent, this week." The .FredericAfon {New Brunswick, Can.) Reporter says: “Nobody can but admire the persistent enterprise manifest ed by the owners of St. Jacobs Oil in keep ing the n:ime before the public. It receiv ed a big send off in the House the other day by the Hon. Mr. Perley, who warned his colleagues la the Government of the danger of Bear Killers receiving two boun ties for one nose; the judicious use of the Oil causing rapid growth.” The well-known Henry Erskine once met au acquaintance, a barrister, who dealt in hard words aud circumlocution al sentences. Perceiving that bis ank les were tied up with a silk handker chief, Erskine asked the cause “Why, my dear sir,” answered the wordy law yer, “I was taking a romantic ramble in my brother’s grounds, when, coming to a gate, I had to climb over it, by which I came in contact with the first bar, and have grazed the epidermis of the skin, the accident being attended with a slight extravasation of blood ’’ “Yon may thank your lucky stars," replied Erskine, “that your brother’s ‘gate’ was not so lofty as your ‘style,’ or you must have broken your neck. ” Vegetine.

Importance of the Legislature: “Cheer up, Don,” said a venerable head of the honse, passing the bottle of Mon- ongahefa to his despondent son. “Fath er,” returned the Senator, “there isn’t a cheer in me. We’ve even lost the Legislature.” “But why do y. o lay any stress on the loss of the Legislature?” ‘ Because,” replied Don, “I had inten ded to petition it to change my name.” Bayksvillk, Ohio, Feb. 11, 1880. 1 am very glad to say I have tried Hop Bitten, and sever took anything that did me as much good.

D, A reverend doctor of Louisville has refused to allow the ladies of his con gregation to preach from the pulpit in the condnct of their church work.
