I'ritubifls m* m \ THE I Tar on Fruit Tre.'S. According to the cxpcrienco of Mr. Henry Reynolds, o( North Carolina, tar is a perfect remedy for scarred and ruii cracked apple trees, lie says that by coaling with new tar the trunk of a favorite Irnit bearer that was cracked anil so decayed that the balk was dead and would peel oil', he restored it fully. lie applies it to all the branches that show signs of decay. Since practicing this cheap remedy, he has not been troubled with insects. Hy applying tar to the trunk, and clearing away the surface at the tools so as to let it run down on them, poach trees badly damaged hy borers are fully restored, Replace the dirl, and you will have no more trouble with the tree for two years or more. If the tar is applied to young trees the borers will not t rouble them at all. He slates that the coating should ho applied iu the winter or early in the spring with new tar. Wonders of Modern Science. The perfect accuracy with which scientists are enabled to deduce the most minute particulars in tin ir sever al departments, appears almost miraculous if wo mow it in the light of the oarly ages. Take for oxamplo tho electro-magnctie. telegraph?tin; greatest invention of the age. In it not a marvelous degree of accuracy which enables an operator to exactly loc.ato a fracture in a submarine cable nearly three thousand miles long? Our ven- i erablo "clerk of the weather" has becoinc so thoroughly familiar with those most wayward elements of nature that ho can accurately predict. ! their uo o in 11 a. lie can sit in j Washington ami foretell what the j weather will be to.morrow in Florida or New York, as well as if several hundred miles did not intervene between him and the places named. Ami so in all departments of Modern science, what is required is the! knowledge of certain si (/us. From j these the scientists deduce accurate ' conclusions regardless of distance. A ' few fossils sent to the expert geologist i enable him to accurately determine the rock formation from which thev were taken, Ilo can describe it to you as perfectly as if a cleft ol it were ; lying on his table. So also the ehem- ; ist can determine the constitution of the sun as accurately as if that luminary were not ninety-five million miles from his laboratory. The sun semis certain signs over the "infinitude of space" and the chemist classifies them by passing them through the spectroscope. Only the presence of certain substances could pioduce tlieso solar signs. So also, in medical science, diseases have certain unmistakable signs, or Rymtoma, and by reason of this tact, l)r. Pierce, of the World's Dispensary, has been enabled to originate and perfect a system of determining, will) the greatest accuracy, the nature of chronic diseases without seeing and personally examining his patients. lie has spared neither pains nor expense to associate with himself, as the Faculty ot the World's Dispensary, a large number of medical gentlemen of rare attainments and skill?graduates from some of the most famous Medical Colleges and Universities of both Europe and America. Py aid of Dr. Pierce's system of diagnois, thoso physicians and surgeons annually treat, with the most gratifying success, many thousands of invalids without ever seeing tliern in person. In recognizing diseases without a personal examination of the patient they claim to possess no miraculous powers. They attain their knowledge of the patient's disease by the practical applications of well es , in b fished principles ot *n<)(k'in science to the practice of medicine. And it is to the accuracy w ill) which this system has endowed them that thev owe their almost, world-wide reputation tor the skilltul treatment of all lingering or chronic alVcdions. This system of practice and the marvelous success which has been attained through it, demonstrate the fact that diseases dis-j , play certain phenomena, which bcinlt subjected to scientific analysis or syi t iei*, furnish abundant and unmistakable data to guide the judgment of the skillful practitioner might in determining the nature of diseased conditions, The amplest resources lor treating lingering or chronic diseases, and the greatest skill, are thus placed within the easy reach ol every invalid, however distant he or she may reside ] from tho physicians making the treatment oi such aflectior.s a specialty. The peculiarities of this scientific system of practice are fully explained it the Appendix of "The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser,"?a bool of over nine hundred largo pages which is so popular as to have readier a sale of almost oho hundred thousnuc copies within a few months of its tirsi publication. It is sent (post paid) bj ilio Author to any address, on receipt of one dollar and fifty cents. R. V. Pierce, M. I)., World's Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y. (10) A tnan bought a gallon of gin to take home, and, by way of a label, wrote his name upon a card, which happened to be the seven of clubs, and tied it to the handle. A Irieud, coming along and observing the jug, quietly remarked, "That's an awlul careless way to leave that liquor ?" "Why ?" said Tom. "Becuaso somebody might come along with the eight of clubs and tike it." fOivitY wekkl Lose or a Continent. Plato sent down to posterity a tra<lilion of hi* day that a gioat conti- : ncnt which occupied the place j covered hy the Atlantic ocean suddenly sank down out of sight. lie further says it was an Island called Atlantis. On it were kingdoms and organized governments, wealth, arts at d civilization instantly lost to human sight. It is now the opinion of lending : geologists?those most advanced in | science?that the American continent appeared when the Atlantic waters lushed into the enormous cavity or ! depression on the earth's surface now filled hy salt water. The Korky | Mountains were then the rough' hotI torn of an ocean, which rose with marine plants, shells and other plants I of an aquatie origin, that are tound abundantly strewn there, and in fact all over North and South America. Uomauts of Atlantis, the submerged continent, aro believed by some scientists to bo recognized in the Adiron| d aeks, the While Mountains of New j Ilumpshiro, and a few other outcropping* belonging to the boundaries of that deluged and forever lost country. There is no knowing what astounding discoveries may yet he made in coming .ages corroborative of Plato's narration. Hazing a Fried.
