Bailors: 1 seldom appear publicly in print, but the facts connected with my expenence which follow so striking, 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 complaining of being ex haiisted and feeling tired, it was not an unfrequent occurrence to have patients ask for something to 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-work and exposure had produced a temporary physical prostration; therefore I made a trip to rani, Minn., thinking that a few weeks in a cooler; climate would soon rein vigorate me. little did I dream, howev er, what was in store for me. •After get-, ting settled m my new quarters 1 took a short walk every day, and patiently await ed a return of strength, bat m spite of all my efforts I seemed to be losing strength; and even any slight exercise became labo rious and tiresome. During this time I had frequent dull aching pains in my head and through my back 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 fool, and what I did eat distressed me; my sleep became disturbed 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 1 would be jverfectiy free from this desire and nothing seemed to be the matter ; nevertheless my debility gradually increased. My eyelids were puffed out; my bowels were alternate ly torpid and too active, the urine would be clear some days, on others it would be of high color and deposit a black dust sedi- meat, and at still others there would be a whitish appearance and a thin greasy scum would nse to the top. The pains in my Lead, back, chest. 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 would have a chill one day and a burning fever the next. 1 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 limbi and body would bloat and physicians said 1 was suffering from the dropsy and could not recover. How 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 of its nature as I was. My skin was the color of marble at one time, and 1 ben again it would be like saffron, and this terrible restlessness, and I might say wildness, was followed by a dull, heavy, drowsy sensation. 1 was wasted to a mere 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. Hull no help came. 1 lay at my hotel in Philadelphia, where I was temporarily so journing, given up by friends and physi cians idike, when there providentially came into my bauds a little pamphlet which 1 carefully read, and from wbicb 1 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 fact. Be said 1 had Bright’s Dis ease, and that death was certain. My Inends importuned me to take a remedy which had won a great reputation for the cure of all forms of kidney disease, and I therefore laid aaide my prejudice and com menced its use. At first my stomach re jected it and 1 had to use small quantities; but after the flrst five days my stomach re tained full doses. This was one year ago last October, and my improvement was rapid and permanent. 1 have regained 50 of the 65 pounds of flesh I lost during my illness, and 1 feel as well to-day as 1 ever did, and I can 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-anny surgeon, did not have the water analyzed before; but such is the fact. I had the symptoms of every otbsr disease, and I did not suspect that my kidneys were in ' the least particular out of order, and hero is Just where l was in the greatest danger, and where most people who read this article are in danger. 1 find that 1 am only one of thousands who are suffering from kidney disorders, which neglected, surely terminate in Bright’s dis ease. I. also know that physicians may treat these disorders for months without knowing clearly what the trouble is, and even after ascertaining the cause, be una ble to prevent it. When death, however, finally overtakes the helpless victim they disguise its real cause, attributing it to heart disease, convulsions, apoplexy, ver tigo, paralysis, spinal meningitis, blood and uremic poisoning, etc., etc. Words, of course, fail to express my thanks to H. fl. Warner & Co., of Koch- ester, N. Y., for giving the world such a needed and certain specific as the Sate Kidney and Liver Cure, but such as they are ] gladly give them; while to the thous ands to whom 1 have lectured upon the laws of health and hygiene I commend this letter most cordially, and warn them to beware of the insidious nature of a dis ease over whieb physicians confess they save no control ami which in one form or mother, is carrying more people to untime- :y graves than any other malady. J. M. PORTSR, M. D. Baltimore, ltd., 91 Saratoga street. /( appears IVom a recent observation bv Dr. Fieitmann, of Iserloha. as the Inven tor of a process for welding nicke’. that the formation of ore veins need not neces sarily occupy such long periods of time as we are geaeratly inclined to accord to it. Dr. Fieitmann gave his experience as fol lows: Borne two years ago be had the bottom of a stable pit filled and rammed with common clay containing iron. The pit had served ns purpose for storing dung for about two years, during which time. (ocasion&lly, to prevent everheating,water had been poured over it; lately it became necessary to remove t he pit, when, to the great surprise of Dr. Fieitmann, he found the clav had entirely changed in character and had become white: it was, moreover, divided in numerous directions by fissures from one twenty fifth mchto onesixth inch in width, which were filled by compact iron pyrites. The explanation Dr. Fleit- mana gives is, that the iron oxide of the day was changed, by the water i oaudnlog sulphate of ammonia, into sulphate of iron and the latUr had, is accordance with molcpuiar attractioi, c* waited itself in groups of fissures. The fish torpedo, which can do every thing but speak, will be cast into the shade by the mole torpedo, an engine of war just patented by an officer in the Austrian ar my. The new invention claims to be a ituner of the most formidable description, ’ vfcmcb can burrow id the'earth 'or under a wall, and then either explode at once or w«it until ordered to do so by its master. AGRICULTURE, Fsktilitt Inorkaskd bt Rotatiob. — When the farm annually yields to its full capacity there is extracted from the soil those elements that principally constitute its riches or fertility, and unlees the soil is fed with matter containing those elements of fertility it wilt in tne course of time fail to repay for the labor and capital required in its cultivation. Most farmers are aware of that tact and use barnyard manure and commercial fertilizers m order to supply the deficiency. We have within our power however, the means by which the sod can be recuperated and restored to fertility, and every prudent farmer takes advantage of such opportunities m order to bring his farm to the highest degree of productive ness. The practice of rotation of crops is essential to good farming, and it is by such a system that the most fertile sections have been kept to their standard condition. How rotation cccomplishes so desirable a result is not a hard matter to solve, for plants, like animals, differ in their meth ods of growth and feeding capacities. When a field is occupied by clover, the crop, when plowed under or fed to stock on the farm and again returned in the shape of manure, adds additional matter to the soil. When fed to animals, only a portion re turns, but when the whole crop goes under the quantity is very large. But, as a crop of clover is sometimes too valuable for the plow, we still have the advantage ot know ing that the sod and roots are very enrich ing. Clover is a lime and potash plant, requiring but little applied nitrogen to make its growthr and jret, by shading the soil, and through its power of utilizing the nitrogenous materials of the soil and at mosphere, it returnf mere nitrogen to the soil than those crops that depend largely on that substance. Now does it take from the soil a dn proportionate quantity of phosphoric acid, which is another advan tage in its tavor. As clover takes from the sod lime and potash principally, it leaves the ground, when removed, in good condition for some crop that protects ni- tiogen and phosphoric acid. Experience has taught farmers that wheat or corn is capable of filling a place m the rotation, and such system is generally on well cul tivated farms, wheat, clover and corn lol- lowing in successive order. In some sections the practice is a hoed crop, lhai is, in addition to the use ol the cultivator, the hoe is passed once through the cornfield,which more thoroughly erad icates weeds. It calls tor more labor on tne corn, but saves it on the weeds. The rotation is not, however, complete without a roo ciop ot some kind, and this, joined with the hurdling ot sheep, as is done in England, will bring an almost barren field in the course of a few years to a fertile conditum. O.ir system of rotation is too narrow and should take in other crops that are profitable, in order that the ele ments ot plant food should be distributed as evenly as possible when removed by crops. Another advantage m rotation is that all soils contain fertility to a certam degree. Even in the best of sofis there are dormant or insoluble substances valuable in compo sition, and when they are not being appro priated by an occupying crop are gradu ally being reduced and rendered soluble as piant-food lor the succeeding crop, and thus rotation not only prevents the loss of particular substances in excess but con verts the iocked-up elements ot the soil iuto free and assumable matter. In this country no system of rotation is complete without clover; iu England it must coot a in tue cultivation of root crops and sheep pasturage. I hat we may learn a valuable lesson try comoiniug botn practices it be comes the uuly of every farmer to make experiments, even if only on small loca tions. Rtk is well adapted to renovate old pas tures. Take a piece of sandy or gravelly land that has been used for pasture until it will hardly produce feed for sheep and is covered with pennyroyal, mulleins, rasp berry bushes and the like; plow the last of August, no mattei if not turned over very smooth; drag well *o as to be mellow; bjw about two bushels of seed to the acre, and the result will be almost certain to be good paying crops. Again, it will be found that ihe rotten ing of the turf has improved the pasture, all bushes are killgd.tbe grass roots renewed,aud the field will bear more and sweeter feed for years after. The grain will generally more than pay all the outlay in its cultivation, while the straw will sell for about the price of hay, and sometimes even more, alway being in good demand. An exchange gives the annexed recipe for colic in horses, which, it claims, is one of the beat known, and is well worth preservation by horsemen: Laudanum, belladonna, sulph. ether, chloroform, caeh two ounces; dose, half tablespoouful in a half pint of water. Tnx basket willow will grow well around the mill ponds and along tbe mar gins of the water courses* It is an article which is always salable, and should lie made to take the place of the unsightly briars aud bushes that often prove so troublesome in such places. Thz question. “What will be the cheapest food this winter for cows produc ing milk?’’ was answered in the Elmira, N. Y. Farmesr’ Club recemly by the re- commenaaliou of clover hay and sowed corn, altkvugh barley meal, shorts, 3orn meal, bran, etc., were commended. A good way to preserve parsnips, beets, and '-arrets for winter use is to pick tnem in dry sand. They will keep fresh and brittle until June. This plan saves tbe trouble ot digging them out of the ground as needed. DOMESTIC. HUMOROUS. Preservation of Wood —The increas ing cost pf wood in this country has led to a great number of experiments in preserv ing from decay all kinds of wooden stmc lures exposed to the weather. Among the more recent plans suggested is one for im pregnating wood with asphalt, combined with some antiseptic material. The fin ■shed wood, ready to be put together, is first submitted to heat to drive out the moisture, and is then placed in a hot bath composed chiefly of asphalt and car bolic acid acid. On cooling, the solvent of the asphalt evaporates, leaving a skin or coating of tbe asphalt on the surface of the wood that resists water and keeps the antiseptic material securely locked within the pores of the wood. The exterior of the wood presents a smooth, black surface that ones not need to be painted. M. Mete ins, a Belgian physicist, has suggested that objects which it is most Important to protect from lightning, like powder magazines, snould, b sides being furnished with lightning rods, be wholly surrounded with a metallic uet work. He rests upon the fact that animals in suoh inclosures never experience any mischiev ous effects from discharges which must, under ordinary conditions, have stunned them. A oorrespondent of tbe French Academy of Scienoe asserts that trees that have been struck bjr lightning have, for many yeBrrafterWirk,the same effect upon the compass that magnetised bodies have. The statement needs verification. Hints fob thb Laundry.—Every housekeeper knows Low vexatious it is to have colorod fabrics rained in the process of cleansing, A few practioal hints about washing calicoes, percales and muslins will therefore bo of real service. Before washing black and white, atone, slate or maroon colored cotton goods, dip them in a eolation of salt and water, made by dissolving two cupfuls of salt and water in ten quarts of cold wster, and hang them in a shady place to dry. The- salt sets the colors. When dry, wash in a light suds in the usual way. Calicoes and muslins do not require a hot suds; water moderately warm is best Never allow them to soak in the water. Wash quickly, torn the wrong side out and dry in the* shade. A little salt in the rinsing water is an improvement Another way is to mix two cupfuls of wheat bran in cold water, making a smooth paste; then stir it in to one quart of soft .warm water. Let it boil one hour, then strain into five or six quarts of soft warm water. No soap is necessary, for bran has cleansing properties of its own, if there is black in the dress, or any other color that is liable to “run," add a tablospoonful of salt Rinse thoroughly in the water. For starch, use a little white glue water, cool and clean. Always iron on the wrong side with a moderately hot iron. Bine, stone, slate and brown-colored articles may also be made to retain their color perfectly by adding sugar of lead to the water in which they are to be washed. Dissolve one ounce cf sugar of lead in a pailful of hot water; stir carefully until it is thoroughly dissolved, and let the mixture cool. When about milk-warm, pat in the articles and let them remain an hoar. Haag up to dry before washing. W’ en dry, wash as directed in bran water. The sugar of lead fixes the color permanently, so that treatment with it will not need to be repeated. Use this preparation with caution, sugar of lead is poisonous. To wash brown linen, take enough good timothy hay to fill a ten quart kettle two-thirds full when pressed do-vn; cover it with soft water, aud let it boil until the water assumes a dark greenish color. Make floor starch in the usual way, and strain the hay-water into it after it becomes cool or tepid; let the linen soak ten or fifteen urinates—not longer—then wash- without soap. I di vide the preparation into two parts, using one for rinsing. Linen dresses and dusters washed in this way will look new as long as they last. Fruit or wine stains can be removed from silk, woolen or cotton goods by sponging tnem gently with ammonia and alcohol —a teaspoonful of ammonia to a wine glass of alcohol. Finish with clear al- cohoL The fames of a lighted match will remove remnants of stains. What Girls Should erarn.—By all means let the girls learn how to cook. What right has a girl to marry and go Into a t onse of her own unless she knows how to superintend every branch of housekeeping, and she cannot prop erly superintend unless she has some practical knowledge herself ? Most men marry without thinking whether the woman of his choice is capable of cook- iug him a meal, and it is a pity he Is so short-sighted, as his health, his cheer fulness, and, indeed, his success in life depends iu a very great degree upon the food he eats, m Let the household is influenced by their diet. Feed them on fried cakes, fried meats, hot bread, day after day, aud they will need medi cine to make them well. A man will take alcohol to oontoract the evil effects of such food, aud the wife and children must be physicked. Let all the girls have a shire iu housekeeping at home cefore they marry; let each superintend some department by torn. It need not occupy half the time to see that the house has been properly swept, dusted and put in order, or to prepare puddings and make di-ihes, that many young ladies spend in reading novels that en ervate both mind and body, and unfit them for every-day life. Women do not, as a general rale, get pale facts by doing housework. l heir sedentary mbits, in overheated rooms, combined with ill-chosen food, are to blame for bad health. Our mothers used to pride themselves on their housekeeping and fine needle work. Wny should not our daughters ? Florida Grape Fruit.—This fruit is refreshing and whole-mine, et peetally for a bilious temperament. Its flavor is sub-aoid, bat its jtricy pulp is inclosed in a tough white membrane of intensely bitter taste; when this membrane is re moved the fruit is delicious. It has become the fashion to use it as a salad. The frail is placed on the table whole (one is enough for a party of four or six), cut in quarters and serve au natu ral. When not used as a salad, cut the skin in sections and peel it off; separ ate the sections as yon would those of au orange, and, holding each one by the ends, break it open from the centre, disclosing the pulp; tear this out of the white membrane which covers tbe sec tions, oarefnlly removing every part of it; keep the pulp as unbroken as possi ble and pat it into a deep dish with a plentiful sprinkling of fine white sugar. Let it stand three or four hoars, or over night, and then nse the frail. Wall papers for the coming season show much lighter shades. Yellow olives, French maroons, tea greens, shrimp pink and, of coarse, terra cotta, are more likely to be asked for than anything else. The taste is returning to small figures, although the Renais sance designs are extremely popular. Many persons insist upon the wall paper harmonizing so far as is practicable with the upholstery; so this governs manufacturers to some extent in their coloring and designs. To wash a fine cambric handkerchief embroidery in colored silks, so that the colon do not ran, the secret is to warn in a soap lather very quickly, wring thoroughly and then iron, so that it dries at once. There should be nosoak- ing, aud the embroidered corner should be kept oat of the water as mnch ss possible. A little alum in the watet will make the process more sure. To protect the ironing board from dnst, take two paper flour sicks, oat the bottom ofi from one, and paste this one to the' top of the other to make the required length; when done slip this over the board. The outer covering of the board need not be taken off after using, if this care is taken and much time saved. Fafa Cartel's ofassies: The uneduca ted manager is liable to laughable mistakes. One of these gentlemen, Papa Oastel, was getting np a mythol- ejical ballet. His stage manager was explaining the intended arrangement of the principal tableau. “This raised scaffolding in the centre is M runt Olympus, where we will place all the heathen divinities; that to the left is Mount Parnassus, which we can cover with the poets of antiquity; on this, to the right, Mount Pindns, we will form three groups, composed of the nine Muses, the three Fates and the three Graces.” “No, no!” said Papa Castel, “that will never do; too nnsymmetrioal by far; too irregular. Let ns have the five Moses, the five Fates and the five Graces. That will be a much prettier arrangement.” The Frederick ton {New Brunswick, Can.)

Why U -t that so m .ny persons uss proprietary medi cines, or patsut medicines, as they are commonly called f la It because people loae faith in physicians? There are la numerable instances where cure* have been effected by Soovill's Sarsaparilla or Blood and Liver Syrup for all diseases of the blood, when they had been given over by their physicians. It is one of the best remedies ever oflered to the pnbUc, and as it is pre pared with the greatest care, as a specific for certam disea«ee, it Is no wonder that it should be more effectual than hastily written and carelessly prepared prescrip tions made by incompetent physicians.
