Hamilton be fore the New York Society for the promo tion of science, contains so much that is (timely and important that it can be read [with both Interest and profit: There is probably no subject of modern Itimes that has caused and is causing great- ier attention than the origin of tornadoes. Scientists have studied it for the benefit ol humanity; men have investigated it for the (welfare of their families. It baa been a .vexed subject long considered, and through tail this investigation the cyclone has swept lacrossthe land carrying destruction to scientists as well as to the innocent dwell ers in its track. One thing, however, is certain; the cause of the cyclone must be sought far away from the whirling body of wind itself, its results are powerful; Its cause must also be powerful. L;t us therefore consider a few facts. First, the appearance of a cyclone is invariably preceded by dark spots upon the face ol the sun. These spots, indicating a dis turbed condition of the solar regions, nec essarily affect the atmosphere of our earth. An unusual generation of heat in one part of the atmosphere is certain to cause a par tial vacuum in another portion. Air must rush in to fill this vacuum. Hence the dis turbances—hence the cyclone. This theory finds additional confirmation in the fact that tornadoes come during the day and not at night. The dark spots upon the surface of the sun, whatever they may oe, seem to cause great commotion in the at mosphere of the world, and it is almost certain that the extremely wet weather of the present season can be accounted for on precisely this basis, is it reasonable to suppose tnat the marvelous effect of the sun upon vegetation and life in general shall be less than upon the atmosphere itself through which its rays come? The cause is remote, but the effect is here. After describing some of the terrible ef fects of the cyclone, the speaker went on to say:— This rule finds its application In nearly every department of life An operator is in San Francisco—the click of the instru ment manipulated by his fingers, in New York. The president makes a slight stroke of the pen in his study at the White House, aud the whole nation is aroused by the act. An uneasiness and disgust with everything in life, commonly called home sickness, is felt by many people, when the cause is to be found in the distant home thousands of miles away. An uncertain pain may be felt in the head. It is repeat ed in other parts of the body. The appe tite departs and all energy is gone. Is the cause necessarily to be found in the head? The next day the feeling increases. There are added symptoms. They continue and become more aggravated. The slight pains in the head increase to agonies. The nau sea becomes chronic. The heart grows irregular, and the breathing uncertain. All these effects have a definite cause; aud. after years of deep experience upon this subject, I do not hesitate to say that this cause is to be found in some derangement of the kidneys or liver far away from that portion of the body in which these effects appear. But one may say, I have no pain whiteverinmy kidneys or liver. Very true. Neither have we any evidence that there Is a tornado on the surface of the sun; but it is none the less certain that the tornado is here, and it is none the less cer tain that these great organs of the body are the cause of the trouble although there may be no pain in their vicinity. I know wnereof I speak, for 1 have passed through this very experience my. self. Nearly teu years ago, I was the pic ture of health, weii-hine more than 200 pounds, and as strong and healthy as any man 1 ever knew. When I felt the symp- toms 1 have above described, tbey caused me annoyance, not only by reason of their aggravating nature, but because I never felt any pain before. Other doctors told me f was troubled with malaria, and I treated myself accordingly. I did not be lieve, however, that malaria could show such aggravated symptoms, it never oc curred to me that analysis would help solve the trouble, as I did not presume uiy dif ficulty was located m that portion of the bxly. But 1 continued to grow worse. I had a faint sensation at the pit of my stomach nearly every day. I felt a great desire to eat, and yet I loathed food. I was constantly tired and still I could not sleep. My brain was unusually active, but I could not think connectedly. My existence was a living misery. I contin ued in this condition for nearly a year; never free from pain, never for a moment t> ippy. Buck an existence is far worse than death, for which I confess I earnestly longed. It was while suffering thus that a friend advised me to make a final attempt to re cover my health. I sneered inwardly at his suggestion, but I was too weak to make any resis'ance. He furnished me with a remedy, simple yet palatable and within two days I observed a slight change for the better. This awakened my courage. 1 felt that I would not die at that time, 1 continued the use of the remedy, taking it in accordance wtih directions, until I be came not only restored to my former health aud strength, but of greater vigor than 1 have before knowu. This condltiou has continued up to the present time, and I believe I should have died as miserably as thousands of other men have died and are dying every day had it not been for the simple yet wonderful power of War- uer’s Safe Cure, the remedy I employed. The lecturer then described bis means of restoration more in detail, and conclu ded as follows: My complete recovery has caused me to investigate the subject more carefully,and I believe I have discovered the key to most ill health of our modem civilization. 1 am fully confident that four-fifths of the diseases which affl ct humanity might be avoided were the kidneys and liver kept In perfect condition. Were it possible to control the action of the sun. cyclones oould undoubtedly be averted. That, however, is one of the things that cannot be. But I rejoice to say that it is possible to control the kidneys aud liver, to render their action wholly normal, and their ef fect upon the system that of purifiers rather than poisoners. That this end has been accomplished largely by means of the re medy 1 have named 1 do not have a doubt and I feel it my duty to make this open declaration for.the enlightenment of the profession and for the benefit of suffering humanity in all parts of the world. if.

AGRICULTURE. What Lands Nked Drainage?—AU lands that contain more water than is needed by the crops growing upon them. If you intend to raise corn or wheat the land will need more draining than if intended for grass. Even grass lands need not be very wet, as, if too wet, the growth of aquatic plants and grasses take the place of the cul tivated grasses and rains the hay and pastures. Loose, porous soils,underlaid by sand or grevel, are drained by nature; but all land that is underlaid by ofay, rock or other impervious material needs draining. What is to be gained by underdrain- age? The surface of the water in the soil is lowered. The roots of cereals and grasses may penetrate as far as to the surface of the water, but never into it. It is necessary to draw the water off to such a depth as will give the roots of growing crops plenty of room to reach downward for that nourishment that is necessary to their growth. If the water is only one foot from the amonnt of soil from which to gather nourishment, with the disadvantage of having their feet wet by capillary attraction. Only aqua tic plants grow well with their feet in the water. The lowering the water below the surface prevants a large amount of evaporation, and its effects in cording tbe soil. The water being removed, air and warmth are admitted to the soil. Drained lands are, for this reason, ready for planting at least two weeks earlier in die spring. The growth of crops is quickened through the summer by the increased temperature of tbe soil, which amounts to several degrees, and the injurious effects of early frosts are prevented iu the same manner. Crops are, therefore,given an increased period in which to make their growth of at least two weeks. This is certainly a very important gain. About Sweet Peas.—What is more beautiful or more fragrant than the old- fashioned Sweet Peas! How rarely we see them of late. It is true that the same thing—the intense summer heat— which makes onr season of “green peas' rather short, also interferes with the sweet pea. Those who wonid have sweet peas should plant them early, and plant them deep. Three inches of covering is none too much, and they should be put iu as early as the soil is in a oondi tion to work. Of oonrae they must have something to climb upon. Pea-brush, such as is given to the ordinary garden peas, is perhaps the best,but in the ab sence of this, strings, wires,or whatever will allow the plants to climb for about three feet must be provided. The old- fashioned Sweet Pea has, in the bonds of European florists, given a number of flue varieties, the names of whioh will be found in the catalogues of the seeds men, Some of these have beautiinl colors, but none are more fragrant than th« old sort. Sweet peas are excellent flowers for cutting, as they have long stems, and they retain their beauty for very many days. To have sweet peas at their best, plant early aud plant deep. Bare Places in Lawns.—By “lawn” we mean any piece of grass kept solely for ornamental purposes. It may be mer ly a flout yard, or on large places it may include many acres. There may from some cause show thin and poor places here and there. These may be mended by scvuiui methods. If the bare places sre large, the surface may be worked over with a sharp rake to take oat dead stems and roots,and then, alter tert.liziug,be sown with grass seed of a kind similar to the rest of the lawn. If the patches are small, the quickest way to mend them is to lay turf. In England a method is in use not only for restoring bare places in established lawns, but also lor starting new ones, called “inoculating.” The ground be ing well prepared, bits of good turf (sods) about three inches square are in serted a foot apart each way. These will take root and spread, soon covering the whole surface. In making or mend ing a lawn, recollect that the work is to last tor years, and that a good supply of fertilizing material will be a good in vestment. When meal is fed plain to cows they often pass it with but half digestion, or in this shape it is apt to pass into the intestines without being returned with the cud to be remastioited. This cre ates a loss, and to prevent it mix the feed with wet out hay, straw, fodder or other coarse feed. It is said tiiat meal fed dry, if not mixed with rough feed, will be better masticated than when it is fed wet. Cows with short teats are a nuisance in the dairy. All men shirk milking them, which causes them to dry up early and injures the adder. For this and several other reasons, the owner or head milker should always select the hardest and meanest milkers in the herd for his own work. He may then rest as sured that every cow in the herd is well handled. In the cultivation of the kitchen gar den, long, straight rows of vegetables sufficiently far apart to allow the culti vator or horse-hoe to be worked be tween them, will greatly lighten the hand work. Experiments are being made in rice culture on high ground in Florida,with' out flooding the field, and very superior rice has been prodneed, 69 bushels to the acre. Tbe land was prepared with out using fertilizers. The beet remedy for the sting of a bee, wasp or hornet is liquid ammonia, and anything will equal its dilation in wstar in allaying the irritation caused by uuxquitoes. Charcoal pulverised and mixed with water is highly recommended for re lieving cattlesaffering from any derange ment of the stomach, such as bioat. ho- ven, etc. If yon wish to raise a rant, stint tbe yonng animal’s supply of food below the required quantity and no amonnt of food in subsequent yean can coun teract it. Farmers who are careful t« see that the collars their horses wear are a pro per fit save the animals much unneces sary torture. More than one farmer claims that a little timothy or pure gra a in tne clover greatly assists it to core quickly. Clover alone is too fall of jaioe, and its thick stems dry out slowly. DOMESTIC. How to Split Paper.—Get a piece of plate glass and place on it a sheet of paper; then let the latter be thoronghly soaked. With care and a little dexter ity the sheet can be split 4)y the top surface being removed. But the best plan is to paste a piece of doth or strong paper to each side of the sheet to be split. When dry, violently and withont hesitation pull the two pieces assander, when part of the sheet will be found to have adhered, to one and part to the other. Soften the paste in water and the pieces can be easily re moved from the doth. The process is generally demonstrated as a matter of onriosity, yet It can be utilized in var- rions ways. If we want to paste in a tcrap-book a newspaper article printed on both sides of the paper, and possess only one copy, it is very convenient to know how to detach one side from the other. Tbe paper, when split, as may be imagined, is more transparent than it was before being subjected to the operation, and the printing ink is some what duller: otherwise the two pieces present the appearance of tbe original if again brought together.

Heart burn, flatulence, pain In the abdomen after eating, and a sinking- sensation In that region between meals, are entirely obviated by tnls fine correc tive. Nansea, billons symptoms and constipation are also entirely removed by it Lack of vigor, loss of flesh and want of appetite are usually troubles which contribute to the discomfort of suf- feres from tndlg-stlon.bnt for these,as well as other concomitants of tbe malady, Hostetler’s Stomach Bitters is a recognized specific.

Fever and ague, rheumatism and nervous ailments are effectually relieved by it, and it is an incomparable sustaining cordial for Infirm persons of advanced years or wean constitution. Impressions op Leaves and Flow- res.—Procure a small bottle of olive oil, a camel’s-hair brush or a pieoe of rag, half a dozen sheets of white note paper, and a good old fashioned tallow oandle with a large wick. Take the leaves yon wish to perform upon and pnt them under a pres-s or in a large book, so as to get them with a fairly even surface. Then take a large sheet of copying paper and oil it completely by nibbing it with yonr rag, taking 'are not to put or more oil than neces sary. When this soiled paper is fairly dry bold it over the oandle so that the flame just touches it, moving it about to prevent scorching. Do this until a fine layer of carbon, equally black every where,is deposited. When tUe light of the oandle oan just be seen through the carbon lay the paper on a table with tbe black side uppermost. Then place the lesf between a pieoe of the black paper out to the proper size and another sheet of paper. After rnubmg the upper sheet carefully, place the leaf between two clean sheets of paper. By again nibbing the upper sheet a com • plete impression of the leaf, with even the most minute veins marked in black, will be produced upon the sheet of pa per. If this is allowed to dry it will not smear, and will always retain its fresh ness. Care should be taken not to al low the leaf to be ohipped while on any of the sheets of paper.
