WONDERFUL REVELATIONS OF TH* MICROSCOPE. •f/heMg** OrMly Enemy • -The Bactllna and It* It&vnrea. 0l»enTery 31 nn hind- _ 'I l.e scientific world has been greatl) startled and agitatel of late by the discovery with the microscope of the most v readful eneray'of mankind in the form of myriads 01 little death-dealing parasites. The air we breathe and live in is charged with these deadly little growths in proportion as it is infected from varions noxious sources. Having by recent experiments and research been shown to be the most fruitful cause of disease known, and the welfare and health of every individual depending so largely on the freedom from their destruc tive ravages, it is but natural that the re ports of recent investigators in this field ol scientific inquiry should be widely read, and that every phase of these astounding discov eries should be subject to universal discus. - ion. At first received with some suspicion they have at length been thoroughly proven, and are now receiving the unqualified in dorsement of the leading scientific men throughout the world. But little else is talked of in the schools and clubs of science, and the medical and scientific journals are crowded with the testimony that is being added corroborative of the value of the mar velous discovery —hich is pronounced the greatest advaroe in radical science of mod ern times. To L. Pasteur, the eminent French scientist, who by his learned investigations has saved to France so many millions of dol lars, is probably due the honor of first point ing out the terrible power of these germs. In recognition of his great service the govern ment has recently voted him from the public treasury $10,000, with which to continue his experiments. He has described several va rieties of these parasites, some comparatively harmless, others extremely dangerous. One form he proved by a series of vaccinations and other conclusive experiments was the cause of death of many thousands of ani mals and herds of cattle; another the active agent in the death of fowls by cholera. Act ing upou the knowledge he had gained of the nature of these germs, he pointed out a means of relief that speedily prevented a spread of the diseases and ended their devas tation. Tyndau,, with the aid of other eminent English investigators, made a number of ex aminations of the floating particles in the atmosphere, and found numbers of living spores capable of producing disease. In dry and healthy localities but few germs were \ found, and these of the harmless varieties, 'while in low damp places, crowded houses end unhealthy cities, the poisonous germs were extremly numerous everywhere. Dr Rudolph Kooh, of Wallstein, Ger- injany, a man whose work in connection with thie organisms of contagious diseases has mhde him a recognized authority upon the subject, by experimenting after the methods off Villemin, has discovered and published afc account of one of the most dangerous varieties, to which it is proven more deaths are due than to any disease incident to the |uman race. He describes it as a simple cellular organ ism belonging to the same order as the bar- f teria. When dried the germs may, without losing any vitality, endure great extremes of temperature. Being as fine and as light as dust, invisible to the nuked oye, they may be blown any distance by the wind or carried upon the clothing or body. Like seeds, they may lie for months or years undisturbed upon the furniture, floor, carpets, curtains, wall!;, or in the bedding, and only requiring a proper degree of warmth, moisture and food to waken into life, develop and grow. They thrive and live in the blood, lymph, mucus and secretions of the human body. When the system is unhealthy or weak they attack the cells that make up the animal frame. Any albuminous fluid will furnish them with food for growth, and a single drop is sufficient to contain bun- dr 3ds. Examined with microscopes of great power, which enlarge them so that they can be seen and studied, they have the appear ance of minute rod-like bodies having, when active, some power of motion. They bend in the middle like a bow and straighten with a jerk that sends them a few times their own length. At the temperature of the human body they are the most active. Their power of increase or reproduction is remarkably great. One germ in a few weeks’ time, under favorable conditions, will give rise to millions. The process is by simple growth and division. Cold destroys or pre vents their growth, and this is why refrigera tion prevents decay of meats and other ani mal foods. Exposed to warmth these small organisms attack and eat up the albuminous tissues, leaving a foul mass. The odors so common to this process are given otf by these minute organisms,and is about the only indi cation of their presence. Tins is the warning of nature and it is an instinct to avoid all such smells. The foul breath, bad odors of old i ores, etc., leads man to avoid these germs in a great measure. The danger of their pres ence in the body can be imagined when their rapid increase is considered. A few germs may be readily absorbed into the system by breathing air containing them. They are thus drawn into the interior of the body through the long and narrow respiratory passages of the throat, chest and nose, which ure lined with soft membrane and covered with sticky mucus. In this fluid they find ready lodgment and favorable condi tions for development, increase and growth. The “cold’’ or catarrh, ozaeua or chronic citarrh, hay fever, etc., ar^ommon manifestations of the ef fects o^nie of the le.ist harmful of these germs or mieroeymea. In the discharges from the respiratory passages at such times thousands of the living animalcule are fomu’. The fever, debility, pains “ in the bones,’’ loss of appetite, etc., are indications of their depressing effects upon the vital organs. It is from germs of slower development, however, that the greatest danger follows. To the one most fully described by Kooh is due more deaths than to any other known cause. According to the researches of Cut- tkb, Flint and Dkjeuine, over eight million people die every year from this cause alone. The annual deaths in France, England, Germany and Russia from their destruction was over one and a half millions. In the United States and Canada over three hun dred thousand persons perished in the last year from _ the bacillus alone. The most common disease resulting from it is con sumption of the lungs, but other organs of the body are liable to be affected as they de velop slowly but surely in any organ that may be in a weak or unhealthy state. If active and healthy, the liver, kidneys and bowels have to a wonderful extent the power of expelling these deadly animalcule or parasites from the system. And this fact furnishes an important indication for the successful treatment of all the long hat of maladies caused by these parasites us will be hereinafter shown. The studies of Danoisoa, an eminent Italian, and Wood, Fobmad and others, are interest ing, as showing the large variety of chronic diseases as heretofore classified, that result from these germs. Among the most common were “liver complaint,” biliousness or torpid liver, dyspepsia or indigestion, lung affec tions. bronchitis, kidney diseases, chronic diarrhea, spinal complaint, fever-sores, white swellings, hip-joint disease, rheuma tism, malarial diseases, such as fever and ague or intermittent fever, general and nervous debilities, female weaknesses, chronic catarrh of the head or ozaena, many forms of un healthy dischargee from internal organs, and all the varions scrofulous affections of the akin, glands, bones, joints, etc., including consumption, which is but scrofulous dis ease of the lungs. In this large catalogue of apparently wide ly differing diseases, but really all deluding upon a common cause, and therefore natu rally to be successfully treated on the same general principles examination of the blood and secretions revealed large numbers ot these parasites, and curiously enough the number bore a direct relation to the severity of the disease, a compar atively sms 11 number being pres ent in mild oases and a very large proportion in bad oases. Under the use of the specific treatment which they give, and which is substantially the name as that described and recommended later in this re view, the nu mber was seen to steadily dimin ish from day to day until, with the restora tion of health and bodily strength, they could not be found at all. The greatest variety of symptoms were found to accompany their presence, due to peculiarities of the constitution, the pert of the body most seriously affected, and the ef forts of the different organs to rid the system of these germs. Among the most common were frequent headaches, neuralgic pains, nausea, constipation, poor or variable appe tites, diarrhea, bad breath, 'hectic fever, cough, night-sweats, cold extremities, dyspepsia, ca arrh, sore throat, sore eyes, etc., while where the akin was affected, salt-rhcum. boils, carbun cles, scurf skin, erysipelas, St. Anthony’s fire and other symptoms were common, and all gradually but with certainty were cured by the same means. I he hectic fever so often met with in consumption, with the hm»n.ig or tearing cough, night sweats, diarrhea, and other syamtons due to the efforts of na ture to tnrow on ana expel tneee germs wen also readily controlled and cured in the same way as were the old sores, abscesses and ulcers in the lungs, liver and other im portant organs. The corrosive adds and mineral poisons are found to possess the power of miing these germs, but the dangerous nature or such powerful agents prevent their internal use. For the purpose of expelling the germs when once within the system it is necessary to resort to vegetable remedies in order to eleanse the blood of the germs without in jury to the patient An American physician of large experi ence in the treatment of all forms of diseases, now oondusively shown to be caused by parasitic life, for many years de voted much time to the investigation of the causes of these affections, and in the treat ment of many thousands of oases developed and thorongbly tested a combination of veg etable agents which he used with marvelous success m their cure. In cases of wasting disease, as consump tion or scrofula of the lungs and other or gans, and in all cases attended with great weakness, it was found to exert the most wonderful tonio and restorative influences, beside its nutritive properties far surpass those of cod liver oil or any of the remedial agents resorted to by the medical profession in such cases. Hypophosphites, iron and quinine bear no comparison to it in build ing np the strength of the debilitated. The recipe, as advised by him, has been used for years with the greatest success in a vast and most successful practice. The written experience of the many suffer ers who have been cured and who express in terms of the highest praise their indorse ment of its great value, are sufficient to fill volumes. Laving witnesses are everywhere, monuments to modern genius and scientific progress in the healing art Sufferers from “liver complaint,” giving rise to “bad blood,” consumption, scrofula, and other affections and symptoms, the re sults of blood poisoning from the ravages of the deadly parasites or disease germs so briefly referred to, find in this remedy prompt relief and a permanent cure The great ana increasing demand for thii God-given and peerless remedy for so many apparently different, bat really kindred, ail ments, led to its preparation in pure and convenient form under the name of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It can he obtained th“ vrerid over at drug and gen eral stores, and full directions for its use will be found in the pamphlet that surrounds each bottle. a It exerts the most won derful stimulating ^ and invigor ating influence on the liver, that reatest gland of the human system, which as been not inaptly termed the “house keeper of our health.” Through the in creased action of the li ver and other emono- tory organs of the system, all poisonous germs are rendered inactive and gradually expelled from the system with other impuri ties. In some cases, where there are un healthy discharges, as from the nostrils in cases of either acute or chronic catarrh, the use of Dr. Bage’s Catarrh Remedy, a mild and healing antiseptic lotion, should be associated with the use of the Discovery. It is also advisable to use this lotion in other local manifestations of disease of mucous surfaces. By thismieans the germs of disease are destroyed and the membranes cleansed before any of the poisonous bacilli are absorbed into the blood. In sore throat, quinsy or diphtheria, the Catarrh Remedy hqnid should be used as a gargle, and the Golden Medical Dis covery taken freely. In women where weakness of speoial or gans is common and almost certain to be developed, attended by backache, bearing- down sensations and other local symptoms, the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip tion in conjunction with that of the Dis covery, speedily restores the healthy func tions and assists in building np and invig orating the system. In any case where the bowels have been costive and are not regulated and acted upon sufficiently by the mild laxative propert-es possessed by the Golden Medical Discover/, Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pellets (little liver pills), taken in small doses of only one or two each day, will aid materially in estab lishing healthy action, and in expelling the disease-producing germs from the blood and system. At the risk of repetition and by way of re capitulation. we may truthfully say that Golden Medical Discovery cures all humors, from the worst scrofula to a common blotch, pimple or eruption. Erysipelas, salt-rheum, fever sores, scaly or rough skin, in short, all diseases caused by disease germs in the blood, are conquered by this powerful, puri fying and invigorating medicine. Great eat ing ulcers rapidly heaTunder its benign influ ences. Especially has it manifested its po tency in curing tetter, rose rasffilimls, car buncles, sore eyes, scrofulous sores anfl swell ings, white swellings, goiter or thick neck and enlarged glands. “The blood is the life.” Thoroughly olease this fountain of health by using Gold en Medical Discovery, and good digestion, a fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital strength and sound ness of constitution are estab lished. Consumption, which is scrofulous disease of the lungs induced by the deadly disease germ bacillus, is promptly and positively ar rested and cured by this sovereign remedy, if taken before the last stages of the disease n re reached. From its wonderful power over this terribly fatal disease, when first offering this now world-famed remedy to the public, Dk. Piebce thought favorably of calling it his “ consumption cure.” but abandoned that name ns too restrictive for a medicine that from its wonderful combination of germ- destroying, as well as tonic or strengthening, alterative or blood-cleansing, anti-bilious, diuretic, pectoral and nutritive properties is unequaled, not only as a remedy for con sumption of the lungs, but for all chronic diseases of the liver, blood, kidneys and lungs. If yon feel dull, drowsy, debilitated, have sallow color of skin, or yellowish brown spots on face or body, frequent headache or dizziness, bad taste in mouth, internal heat or chills, alternated with hot flashes, low spirits and gloomy forebodings, irregular apiietiteaiid tongue,coated, you are suffering from indigestion, dyspepsia, and torpid liver or “ biliousness.” In many cases only part of these symptoms are experienced. As a remedy for all such cases, Dr. Fierce’s Gold en Medical Discovery has no equal, as it ef. fects perfect and radical cures. For weak lungs, spitting of blood, short breath, consumptive night sweats and kin dred affections, it is a sovereign remedy. In the cure of bronchitis, severe coughs and consumption, it has astonished the medical faculty, and eminent physicians pronounce it the greatest medical discovery of the age. The nutritive properties possessed by cod liver oil are trifling when compared with those of the Golden Medical Discovery. It rapidly builds up the system and increases the flesh and weight of those reduced below the usual standard of health by wasting diseases. The plan of treatment that we have so briefly outlined in this article for the large class of chronic diseases referred to, has long been acknowledged to be the most success ful, based as it is upon the belief shared by the moet skillful medical men of the day, that the only way to got rid of the nox ious disease-producing germs in the blood and system is through the liver, kidneys and bowels, and therefore that those agents which are known to act most efficiently in re storing healthy action of these organs are the ones most to be relied uixm. For this pur- l*o*o the Golden Medical Discovery is p; c- eminently the agent that fulfills every indioa- tion of treatment required.

Instead of oil, which thickens and makes whetstones dirty, a mixture of glycerine and alcohol is used by many. The proportions of the mixture vary ac cording to the instrument operated upon. An article with a large surface, a razor, for instance, sharpens best with a lim pid liquid, as three parts of glycerine to one of alcohol.

Have a Plan in Faknino.—The great fault with American farmers is a con stant desire for a change. The farm is rarely thought of as the home \. hich the children are to occupy daring a life-time and then leave to J^eir heirs. There is too much ohamrieg with the crops—first one thing and &en another, the result of which is a shifting whioh is profitless. For a few years it may be that sheep raising is the leading feature of the farm soon to be followed by rearing a breed of cattle, or cultivating hops, tobacco, er even rhubarb. Tne general manage ment of a farm should be planned once for all, it only being subject to those changes that an improvement in agri cultural methods suggest. The work of a farm should go on regularly year after year, so that even in mid-winter the farmer may make his arrangements, and complete his scheme of work, for the whole season. The man who is trying to sell his farm, has his heart in some other locality or business, and he wUo is ready to devote his energies to some new crop or method, is seldom on the highway to snooess. It is well to try that which is new, bat not by giving up the old and well-tried methods. The horse’s hoof necessarily sees the hardest service of any portion of his structure, and is the only part that mn be mutilated by cutting and burning, as is the common practice by men calling themselves shoers, by nails made too large and driven too deep. Every horse owner of experience will, whan he has occasion for the first time to have a colt shod, select a snuth who will do as the owner directs, and not follow the prac tice generally in vogue in times past and still too commonly practiced. It is probable iliac outside of tne farm more horses are detective in the feet than in any other part. This comes from the combined influences of hard usage and mutilation in shoeing. Large ly from the latter, becanse a hoof prop erly trimmed and shod will stand an extraordinary amount of contact, how ever rough, with every sort of pavement in use, Some of the Western jonrnals give an account of the extensive and well man aged strawberry plantations of Parker Earle, of Cobden, Hi., who is widely known as one of our most skilful fruit cultivators. He has 20 acres of the Orescent, and several acres each of Downing, Captain Jack, Bharpless and other sorts. The Crescent succeeds ad mirably in wet seasons. His entire 80 acres are liberally treated with manures. Before being sent to market, the fruit is thoroughly cooled in cooling houses, and it is then shipped in refrigerator care, by which soft berries are carried with safety. Beside the wide strawber ry plantations, there are 30 acres of the Turner raspberry, and 16 acres of black berries, Mr. Earle has also 80 acres of pears oa another farm, ot which fifty acres are in bearing, and one half are Bartletts,but many have died of blight. If Indian corn has a value of 64 as compared with 10d, the stanpard of hay as a ration for stock, then potatoes would rank at 246; that is, it would take 195 pounds of potatoes to fatten as far as 64 poands of com, or nearly 4 times as much. Beets are rated at 336 pounds in the scale; thus, theoretically,it would take five times as many pounds as of Indian corn; bat fattening id not in question, but health. It is found in practice with farm animals that the ra tion of succulent vegetable food largely increase the digestibility of grain; and this is especially true with swine, to which roots are a natural food. For 40 years I have been employed by my neighbors wbo have had cows with stoppages in their teats to lance the obstructions, and have been success ful in curing many bad cases. 1 was at first troubled to hit upon a plan of con fining a cow so as to be in no danger myself and at the same time not hurt her, but at last succeeded, I used a strap three-quarters of on inch wide, six feet long with two loops and a buckle; one loop quite large. Now I loop tnis onto the right leg above the gambrel, pass the strap around the other leg, then cross it back and forth a few times and buckle snugly and ’tis done. Bach a strap is very valuable in breaking hei fers to milk. The lands of Western Kansas; here tofore regaided as worthless for larm purposes, are to be irrigated and made productive. Water is to be retained iu reservoirs from the spring floods on the Arkansas River, and conveyed to ditch es as needed. The experiment has suc ceeded on a small scale, and 3 companies have been organiz ,d with large capital to begin the work of irrigation. It is believed that after a few years evapora tion from the side ditches will increase the rainfall. This has been the usual result of attempts at irrigation iu other seetions. ’•Draco” says: "When farmers learn from experience that by bousing their manure and thoroughly working it over mixing with absorbents suou as muck, earth, road dust, leaves, etc.,to take up the liquid and the ammonia set free, its value is double what it now is, and,too, at an expense much less than the same amount of plant food could be obtained in an artificial fertilizer, a new era will have been reached in agriculture, aud we shall see the fertility of our lams brought back to where they were hlty years ago.” Did any one ot oar readers ever think how many steps a farmer takes in a year? Take tiie simple planting of a field of corn. Take a five acre field. To break it up would require walking some forty miles: harrowing it, ten miles:fur rowing it, 20 miles, planting, 11 miles if with a planter, and if dropped by hand and then covered, 20 miles. Thus it will be seen that it takes about 100 miles of travel to pat in a five acre field of corn, to say nothing of cultivating and harvesting, rnd the goiug to and from the field while planting. The hog, l;ke the horse, has no extra stomach to store away food, therefore If fed but twice a day and what he will eat, he overloads hu stomach, and if the food is not poshed beyond the point where it will digest, the stomach is so full that a considerable portion of the food fails to come m contact with the lining of the stomach, and thus a very large proportion of the nutriment in the food is lost Experiments prove that a hog thns fed wastes more than one-half of the meal given him. We have no doubt the same ii true of the horse, when fed large quantities of hay aud grain, and fed but twice a day. DOMESTIC. Almond Mtt.h.—Poor a quart of boil ing water upon a quarter of a pound of shelled almonds, and when the skins soften, mb them off the karales with a dean towel; pound the almonds thus blanched, in a mortar, patting in three or four at s time and adding four or five drops of milk, as the almonds are being pounded, to prevent oiling; about a tablespoonful of milk will be required for the quarter of a pound of almonds; when the almonds are finely powdered, mix them with a pint of milk, two ta- blespoonfnls of sugar, a level teaspoon- fu\ ui salt ana the yellow rind of a lem on, and place the milk over the fire to boil; meantime beat three eggs smooth ly, and strain the almond milk into them, stirring the mixture as the milk is strained in; return it to tne saucepan, and place it, in anothi r pan of hot wa ter, over the fire stirain it constantly until it begins to thicken; then remove it at once from the fire, strain it and use it. This is an exceedingly nutritions beverage, useful in most conditions of illness. The latest flat-houses in the Oity are finished in hard wood—mahogany, oak, and cherry being favorite combinations —and have exceptionally handsome gas fittings. It is the fashion now to have the latter of very light workmanship, and to ornament them with crystals-and jewels of colored glass. The central portions, from which the branches radiate, is often beautifully enamelled or painted and adds greatly to the ap pearance of the chandelier. Even on stairways the branch brackets are of the some light style, the shades being particularly handsome in engraved de signs. A vbbt comfortable lounge for a morning room or boudoir is in rattan. The seat is exceptionally wide and the upper end rolls over and forms an ad mirable support for the head or tor the reception of cushions. Footstools to match are decorated in bright ribbons. Very effective tidies are made in strips in haherman’s twine, crocheted in open link and joined together at regular in tervals, They are made very effective by the insertion of gay satin ribbons of every color, finished off at the ends with little bows. Effective hangings for small win dows can be made oat of fashion drap • ery of dark color by placing deep stripes of lighter color in felt or cloth across' the top and bottom within six inches of the edges. When the stripes are in position they can be sewed on in fancy stitches in colored crewels or silks, the stitches reaching some distance over the edge of the stripe on to the body of the materi: 1, and so forming a sort of bordering, which can be made very effective. A handsome cover for a grand piano is in plush, velvet, and silk; the centre being of dark plush, has a deep border ing of olive velvet, triangular pieces of rioh-ooiored silks being placed at inter vals where the bordering is sewed on. Upon each separate triangle a design is worked in raised embroidery, while in the centre a handsome pattern is carved out iu very elaborate nbbon-work. A fashionable quilt is made of silk patch-work m every variety of color. Pieces of embossed, shaded, end gross graiivailk of every possible shape aft joined together with gold silk in elab^ rate feather stitch, and form a square, which is edged with a very deep bor dering of dark plash and lined through out with quilted crimson sarin. s A very handseme tire- scr^n is on exhibition in which a landscape design is worked in long stitch in filoselles up on a square of shaded crimson silk, the shades graduating in scch a way as to represent the appearance of light and shade through the foliage. It is lined with embossed leather and mounted in a handsome frame work of carved ebony. The latest novelty in baby carriages is in the shape of l canoe, and is of close wicker-work, Raised upon double springs above high wheels, it is lined with tufted velvet or plash, the seat and cushions being of the same material, the latter edged with a cord and laee and finished at the corners with hand some tassels. A novelty in photograph frames is in the shape of a Gothic gateway, brick work and ornaments being alike carved in hard wood, oak, mahogany, or wal nut. The effect is singularly good, and they are specially adapted for large- sized portraits to stand on a shelf or mantel. Fashionable pertieres are now of striped material iu graunated shades, a bar of silver or gold thread dividing the stripes. They are out exactly the right length and reach the floor and fall in straight heavy folds, no attempt being made to drape them. A hanging cabinet is covered with stamped terra-cotta plush, and has eight irregular shelves, each one deco rated with a handsome railing In fine open brass-work, and containing com partments large enough to hold a mod erately-sized piece of brio-a-brao. Colo bed table-cloths for the dining room are of jute plush, but are no lon ger plain in the centre. In addition to a hanosome printed border in Moorish or Arabesque design, they now have an effective circular design in the centre. • A novelty in screens is seen in the introduction of panels of matting. This material takes oil color well and forms an admirable neutral backgrounds for floral d&eign*, landscapes, or allegorical representations. Frames for this ma terial are usually of dark woods, mahog any, red wood, or ebonized cherry.
