- / Where Gold Conies From.
The gold taken from the river bar9
was mostly in the form of scales resembling
cucumber seeds, and of varying size. '
It was most plentiful on the bed-rock
and in a few inches of soil above it,
though sometimes three or four feet of
earth would pay to wash. "Where the
bed-rock was hard the miner cleaned it,
for a shoveful of dirt might contain a
few dollars in small particles. Where
the bed-rock was soft shale or slate on
edge the miner picked away an inch or
so and washed it, as frequently the scales j
were found to be driven quite tnicKiv
into the crevices. When the ground
was very ricli the rocker was cleaned of
gold every hour or two. When work
was over, around the supper fire the
events of the day were discussed, earnings
compared, reports made ot grizzly
bears or deer being seen or killed, of
better diggings of "coarse gold" discovered.
This was the hour for speculations
as to origin of the gold in the
rivers, and a strong opinion was entertained
by many who were not well-read
that immense masses of the precious
metal would some day be brought to
light in the snow-capped peaks towering
to the east. "Coarse gold" was a charm
to the ear of the ordinary miner. His
claim might be paying him an ounce a
day in fine gold, but he was always interested
in some reported-diggings far
away where the product was in lumps,
and not infrequently he left a good mine
to seek some richer EI Dorado. The
characteristic and besetting fault of the
early miner was unrest. lie was forever
seeking better fortune. Yet it was this
passion for prospecting that resulted ia
the discovery of gold in an incredibly
6hort tims from the southern end of the
Kan Joaquin Valley to the nortnern limit
of the Stutc. To "prospect" was to find
a spot that looked favorable and make an
examination of it. The miner would
take u pan of earth, shake and gyrate it
under water, raising aud tipping it frequently
to run the dirt and water ?ff,
then plunge it again, and so continue
until a small residuum of black sand and
gold remained. A speck of gold was
the "color," several specks were "?everal
colors," and the number and nze
determined the judgment of the miner
whether he should go to work or move
on. I have seen ounces taken in this
way in a siogle pan, but in the earlier
days we counted a "bit" to the pan,
twelve and a half cents, a fair prospect.

FEEDING A YOUNG COLT.
A colt whose dam has no milk should
be fed with fresh cow's milk diluted with
a little hot water to reduce it to the more
watery character of the mare's milk. If
necessary a nursing bottle may be used,
or the milk fed at first with a spoon at
intervals of one hour, until it is able to
learu to drink, when its regular meals of
two quarts four times a day may be given.

JERUSALEM CORK.
A species of com especially adapted to
Kansas is being distributed by the United
States experimental grass station in that
State. It is called Jerusalem corn, and
the plant grows to the height of about
three feet and resembles broom corn or
sorghum. The grain is white and answers
every purpose which is served by
Indian corn. It makes sweeter and better
bread and is delicious when boiled,
alter tne manner or oat mem. xu ?ci
weather it runs to stalks and grows six
feet high without any grain to speak of.
It produces best when the season is dry,
and after the plant gets a start it is said
to be absolutely impervious to the influence
of drought and hot winds.?Chicwjo

BEDDING BEGONIAS.
Some remarkable statements have recently
appeared in regard to the great
value of tuberous begonias as bedding
plants, the claim being made that they
are equal or cvja superior lu gciauiuius
for this purpose. Yick says in reference
to the above: "We cannot but think
that such claim is greatly exaggerated,
if not groundless. All that is needed is
a brief statement of facts. The tuberous
begonias, after several years of trial, both
in this country and in England, have
been found unable to stand full exposure
to bright sun for any length of time, the
sun scalding and burning the foliage and
so checking and stopping the growth of
the plant and rendering it generally unhealthy.
In partially shaded places,
where the plants receive the full sunshine
but an hour or two during the
day, thej succeed fairly well.?New Tori

THE WAT TO IMPROVE DAIUT STOCK.
To advise dairymen to raise the heifer
calves from their best cows and thus try
to make a steady improvement in the
quality of their dairy stock is always in
order. Though not universally followed
by this class, we think that the great
majority of the best and most successful
dairymen adopt this course. But there
are times when, though their intentions
are all right, they can accomplish but
little in this direction. Their best cows
persist in dropping bull calves, and so
the theory in which they would like to
work out cannot be followed. A report
comes from a town in one of the Western
duiry districts, in which out of twentyseven
calves dropped only five were
heifers, and in other herds in the vicinity
there has been only about the same proportion.
This is discouraging to those
who want to raise heifer6, but until some
method of controlling sex is discovered
there will occasionally be reasons iu which
such untoward conditions will prevail.?

FOWLS TALK.
Very tarac hens of tea show a desire to
talk to yon, and it is usually possible to
understand their meaning. Once a Cochin,
whose years and breeding entitled
her to a separate perch, came and stood
in front of me, looked me full in the
face and complained loudly of something
I could not translate further. Patient
investigation revealed that one end of
her perch had slipped down, and Mrs.
Buff had no idea of sleeping on an inclined
perch. Another time a nervous
little Leghorn met me at the henhouse
door fairly screaming and jumping with
cxcitement. I understood, from the
cackle which finished each sentence, thrit
she had been disturbed on her nest. I
did uot wonder at her new powers of
cackling when I fouud the nest occupicd
by my cat and three small kittens.
When the chickens first begin to move
in the egg, just before hatching, the
mother hen sings to them a low crooning
song, very sweet and never heard at
any other time. A friend tells me that
her canary startled her 03c day by an entirely
new call. It was so plainly "Come
here, quick," that she hurried to the
cage to find an enormous cat with its
face pressed against the window pane
staring in at poor Ned?a danger sufficientlv
L'reat to account for the new call.
There arc but two ways by which one

CELERY CL'LTCnE.
Tn reply to the inquiry of the Nebraska
subscriber who asks how to plant and
cultivate celery we give the following:
Sow in the open ground as sooa as it is
fit to work in Apiil, and keep clear of
weeds until the time of planting, in June
aud July. The tops should be shorn off
once or twice before planting, so as to
insure "stocky*' plants, which sulfer lc3S
on being transplanted.
Plant in rov tliree feet apart for the
dwarf varieties, and four to five feet for
the larger sorts, and set six iuches apart
in rows.
If the weather is dry at the time of
planting girat care should be taken that
roots arc proptrJy "nrnieu by pressing
the side of each plant gently with .the
foot; th:s compacts the soil aud partially
excludes the air from the roots until new
rootlets are formed, which will usually
be in forty-eight hours, after which all
danger is over. After the plauting of
th" celery is completed, nothing further
is to be done for six or seven weeks, except
running through between the rows
.vith the cultivator <jr hoe, and freeing
the plants from weeds.
About the middle of August we begin
the " earthing-up," necessary for the
blanching and whitening of that which
is wanted for use during the months of
September, Octobcrand November. The
first operation is that of "handling." |
After all the soil has been drawn up
against the plant with the hoc, it is
further drawn close around each plant by
ic hand, firm enough to keep the leaves
n an upright position and prevent them
roin spreading. This being done, more
?oii is arawn against tne row (eitaer Dy
?ue or hoe, as circumetaaco* re- J
V
v
quire), so as to keep the plant in this upright
position.
The blanching process must, however,
be fiuished by the spade, which is done
by digging the soil from between the
two rows, and banking it clear up to the
top on each side of the row of celery.?

FAKM AND GARDEN NOTES.
"When turkeys are first hatched they
need a little feed often rfcther than large
leeas occasionally.
The farmer must know the cost as well
as the selling price of his farm products
before he can tell the profit.
Raising u good crop is no sign of a
good farmer until you have figured out
where the cost line is located.
A half-teaspoonful glaubers salts dis- *
solved in water is recommended as a !
good cure for cholera among fowls. i
The farmers who make the best success *
in farming are those who make the be3t
use of manures and other fertilizers.Food
has changed the quality of our breeds
in body and production. It has 1
much to do with the success of breeding. ]

An extremely wet season will have the
effect of calling the attention of farmers
whose farms are wet to the necessity of
draining with tile.
Foot rot in sheep can be partially prevented
by keeping the sheep away from
wet pastures, but the rot also attacks
sheep on dry locations.
Hens that are two years old and are
not good layers had better be fattened
and marketed as soon as possible; they
are an expense and return no income.
Try a soiling crop of some kind. It .
will be found of great assistance in feeding
cattle and hogs. Peas and oats make
an excellent crop for an early supply.
Broken grain, like cracked wheat or
corn, millet seed, or something of this
kind, is better and healthier for young
chickeus than cornmeal or wheat middlings.
Land that has produced a crop has lost
a portion of its fertility. This fertility
must not only be restored in some manner,
but the soil should be made richer
than before.
Jt is difScult to secure a good lawn
grass sod amon g the shade trees of a
lawn, as the trees will draw on the land
for plant food to the detriment of the.
grass, even if the land is not shaded.
For apple scab,Professor Goff says the
best preventive is ammoniacal carbonate
of copper,one ounce of carbonate of cop- *
per dissolved in one quart of ammonia,
diluted with ninety parts of water, and
spraying the tree and fruit with it before
the scab is too far advanced.
Corn is benefited by all kinds of manure.
The roots extend quite a distance
and feed over the whole of the surface.
It is a crop that assists in cleaning the
soil of weeds, owing to the frequent cultivation
required, and it thnves best }

Red Noses Blcaclied.
4,Rcd noses bleached while you wait, j
permanent and sure." j
A sign conveying this information s
swings from one of the prominent build-; t
ings of Fulton street,Brooklyn. Curiositji 1
proved too much for rae, I threaded my' <
way up a narrow and very steep stairway
in search of the bleachcry. In the offico \
of the establishment I was confronted by
a middle acred centleman, whose noso !
was not alarmingly white. I began ray
cross-examination as soon as modesty
would permit.
"What causes red noses?"
"Drink and sunburn are the primary
causes. Science says that the ruddy
complexion is due to the increased number
of blood corpuscles produced by the
excessive u-:e of alcohol. The nose, having
a very thin epidermis or skin, naturally
is most effected. Light haired
and light complexioned people fall the
most easy victims.
"How is the bleaching done?"
"I first compel my patients to stop all
drink?that is the only condition on
which I will operate. I wash the nose
with hot water to opcu the pores and
tlieu apply a tnicx piaster 01 pasce muue
of everyday flour and -water. This is
left ou over night. At the end of the
week the nose, uuless a very bad case, is
tolerably pink. Of course we have cases
where nothing short of a new nose would
be successful."
"The treatment of the nose is not our
only business. We eradicate wrinkles
and crow's feet. This is not so difficult
as it appears at first glance, for we simply
iron them out. The face is first
washed in hot water, it then undergoes
message treatment, and after two or
three repetitions the wrinkles will be

that it has become impossible for them |
to hide their antecedents in case of arrest,
and fearing also the increase of punish- 1
menc inflicted on habitual criminals and (
on those who have disobeyed a decree o. (

their own accord, in foreign capitals.

These remarks, which were made to mc

been repeated several times. After a (
little incredulity on the part of some of <

TEMPERANCE.
IT'S THAT, THAT PTZZLE6 ME.
I'm not surprised, 'mong workingmen
Truth's so misunderstood?
That they imagine, now and then,
A glass will do them good;
But when 'mong men of mind and thought
I look around and see
The very self same blunder taught,
It's that, that puzzles me.
I'm not surprised that men who're lost
To all ennobling life
Should drink, despite the fearful cost?
This cause of so much strife;
But how good men who preach His nam%
.Mankind from sin to free,
Can drink this cup of sin and shame,
It's that, that puzzles me.

idiotic or crazy." The public must look out

A WIFE'S INFLUENCE.
The death of Mrs. John B. Gough, widow
af the great temperance lecturer, brings out
the fact that at the time she received his
proposal cf marriage most of her own
iriends and some of his advised her strongly
igainst accepting it, as grave doubts were
jntertained as to his ability p&nnanently to
Dvercome his drinking habits. She was a

Said the manager of a well-known cafe,
esterday "The heaviest drinkers we have
ire youug men not far from twenty years of
ige, who come here after the opera or dance,
irrayed in dress suits. They drop in to chat
'or an hour, and spend their time in drinkng
liquors and wines, meanwhile smoking
ligarettes. Of course they do not consume
is much as the toper of fifty years, but these
resh-faced young fellows drink much more

THE OLD FARMER'S APT STORY.
Sir Wilfrid Lawson tells the following
suggestive anecdote, illustrative of the
"moderation" theory: "It was a species of
temperance meeting. Three excellent clergynen
spoke. They harped on the elastic and
indefinite word 'moderation'condemningintemperance,
but setting up Timothy as their
nodel man, morally and constitutionally,
ttuuui^ auu ma^nu ytii^ uuu winnending
the temperate consumption of alco20I.
W hen they had concluded, an elderly
farmer rose and said: 'I've heard that kind
>f talk for the last forty years, and I can't
>ee that people are a bit more sober now than
when it commenced. It reminds me of what
I once saw take place at a retreat for imbeciles.
It is the custom there, after the
patients have been in residence for a certain
time, to put them to a kind of test to see
whether they are fit to leave the asylum or
ot They are taken to a trough full of

not regained their senses keep ladling away,
while the water flows in as l'a9t as they ladle
out; but them that isn't idiots stop the
tau.'"
IT RUINS THE BODY.
The following extract from the Diocesan
Record touches a question of great import?nce
to the cause of temperance,that is the
ihysicai effect of alcohol on the human
ystem.
In the first place, how, or in what manner
Jo you think you are benefited by this flrink?
tVell, you will Fay it has an exhilarating
ffect. Yes, it has an exhilarating effect;
jur, mark, it is for the moment. And how
s this stimulating effect produced? And is
t nnndueive to a man's creneral health?
There are certain properties in this intoxicating
liquor wuicn will heat the blood,
thereby causing its more rapid circulation,
ind a consequent heating of the body. But,
resides those properties, it also contains
>thers which act upon the brain and nervous
system, and thereby produce this buoyancy
>"f spirit.
But it is a well-known fact that stimulants
Df whatever kind, when taken often, have,
jy appropriating the proper and natural
[unct ous of the digestive organs of the
stcmac-b, a ltthareic effect upon this organ.
The more stimulants we take the more
etkargic the stomach becomes, and the more
lecessary it is for us to take theui, till at
ength the stomach refuses to digest any food
vithout the aid of its former assistants.
But the stomach is not the only organ
vhose power is lessened or impaired by the
lse of stimulants or intoxicating liquor,
rhe nervous system becomes so weak and
battered that the slightest shock completely
>rostrates the victim. The small veins by
vhich circulation with the braiu is carried
>n, become so inflated by tha rapid circulaion
of the blood consequent on the taking of
,he liquor, that the patient can never be
reatea for certain diseases, 1. e., tue cura:ive
or ameliorative iredicines cannot be
idministered without endangering the life of
;he patient. In fact it is seldom or never atempted:
because the only effective medicine
hat could be administered would caus3 such
x rush of blood toward the brain, as would
;ause the already too-inflated veins to burst,
md consequently causo the immediate death
3f the person.
It is, therefore, apparent that intemperir.ce
has an enervating effect upon the body,
that its apparent exhilarating effects are but
transient, and create a corresponding depression
of spirits afterward; that it considerably
impairs the digestive organs of the
rtomach; that it weakens the nerves; and
finally, that it brings the habitual user to
such a state, that the taking of certain diseases
means to him inevitable death.

The "Water-Cask" Plant,
A celebrated Alrican traveler mentions
that in crossing one of the many sandy
deserts in that country he came across
the only known living species of aqua
bulbo, the "water-cask" plant. The
region it inhabits is far from any stream
of wa:er. where, as far as the eve can
reach, nothing can be seen but heaps of i
sand. "The sight of this little green !
creeper, which resembles the common
ground ivy in some respects," he says,
"filled me with an intense longing to
once more see the green meadows and
cool, shady forests which we had now
left at least 300 miles behind. For four
days we had not seen even so much as n
spear of grass or a dried-up cactus, the
latter having been quite plentiful th?
week before. The botanist of the company,
in examining one of the plants,
found thus unexpectedly growing in the
centre of a sandy African desert, noticed
what he supposed was a green, bulbous
fru' o growing under the thick leaves of
the creeper,almost resting upon the sand
underneath. In making an effort to

burst with a smart report,throwing water
in the face and over the clothes of the
intruding naturalist. Here, surely, we
had a first-class wonder; a plant growing
in the desert with no other green thing in
sight, car ying its own water-tags with
it. Parvin, our chemist, analyzed the
water found in some of the bulb3 picked
for his inspection, and declared it to be
absolutely pure, as much so as distilled
rain water. Each bulb or berry contained
about two to four tablespoonfuls
of water. As it happened, we had a supply
of water sufficient for our journey
and to spare, but Williamson, the botanist,
and Parvin, the chemist, with all the
enthusiasm of true scientists, plucked
about a quart of the waterberrie3 and ex
iracicu me waicrjsuiucuiiug uvci a jnut,

Toledo, 0., January 10,1887.
Messrs. F. J. Cheney & Co.?Gentlemen: I
have been in the general practice of medicine
for most 40 years, and would say that in all my
practice and experience have never seen a
preparation that I could proscribe with as
much confidence of success as 1 can Hairs Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by you. Have prescribed
it a great many times and its effect is
wonderful, and would say in conclusion that I
havo'yct to find a case of catarrh that it would
not cure, if they would take it according to directions.
Yours truly, ^ ^
Li. Ij. UORSUCn, M. U.,
i Office, 215 Summit St.
We will give $100 for any case of catarrh
that cannot be cured with Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Taken internally
