TOPICS OF THE DAY. ^ " Reports from different sections of th United States indioate that more agri cultural implements will be sold thi year than in any other in its history The great influx of emigrants has assisted to subdue and put under culti vation a large extent of new farminj lands. With fair crops the produots o the soil this year will be immense. There has been so much water 11 Manitoba that the people there don'l know what to do with it. There is mor< of the thin flnid than the Manitobiam know how to satisfactorily use, opposed as they are to it as a beverage. A gen tleman writes from there that he sailed over a $25,000 farm in a large steam boat a short time ago. The same farn prodnced forty bushels of wheat to th< acre last year. The colony of thrifty Swiss, recently established near Mount Airy, Ga., is at p^sperous and happy as ther ewas every reason to suppose it would be. II now comprises twenty-four families, and several more are expected soon. Each family brought from $2,000 to S5,000, and now owns a form which, in comparison with the scanty measures of Switzerland, seems like a kingdom. The average size of the farms is 160 acres, and they already show the intelligence and honest industry of their owners. The colonists call their settlement, upon which they have expended about $60,000, New Switzerland. t *"" - - / Statistics of population compared with representatives in legislative bodm ies of the leadies countries of the world, J show that the United States, with the largest population, has the smallest number of legislators. For her nearly fifty millions of people she has 369 Senators and members of Congress, while the figures for the European nations are these: Germany, 45,000,000, and 397 delegates; England, 34,000,000, and 658 members of parliament; France, 36,000,000, and 950 representatives and senators; Spain, 17,000,000, and 387 deputies in the oortes; and AustriaHungary, 35,000,000, and 1,600 members in the two houses. During the last thirty years the United States government has given away to railroad corporations not less than 161,653,401 acres, 21,554,201 acres more than compxieerrtha great State of en area equal to eight times the area of Indiana, or seven times the area of Kentucky. The great State of Illinois covers an area of 36,256,000, and Ohio 26,278,400. Their areas are, however, as a small corner lot compared to some of the territory given away. To one railroad, the Atlantic and Pacific, was given, between 1866 and 1871, 42,000,000 acres the Northern Pacific, 47,000,000 acres. Bat it is noij-pmtifcy widwAi-toT'Tftg more land will be given to railroads, and it is not impossible that large slice.*may be taken away from railroads which have not fulfilled the conditions of their ? respective grants. Hundreds of thousands of American citizens, and almost * as many emigrants, are now want ing land for homes, but the govcrnmen lands of good quality are getting scarce. They have all been absorbed by railroad corporations and are held at speculative prices. An English hydraulic engineer proposes to make use of the vast energy that is to be found in the tides. The idea of utilizing the rise and fall of the ocean is by no means new, and the vamnna Til an q Tphinh have been tried have proved quite inefficient. It is now proposed to put in practice a means i whioh will likely prove a measurable success where the difference between high and low water is considerable. The method is as follows: A weir or dam is built across the mouth of an inlet of the sea. The rising tide is kept out of the inclosure until near about high water. The tide is then let in, and while it is pouring in the water is made to turn waterwheels, which may be made to drive dynamo-electric machines that will "store up" electricity for light and ; power. When the inclosure is full the gate* ate shut and the water retained until about low tide, when it is liberated and made to give u( ful results the same as before. The wonderful progress made within the last few months in secondary batteries raises the hope that many other sources of Li ^.'11 K? muuvo pwnci - w >y ucgicviuu ITUI uo made capable of adding to the material progress of this wonderful mechanical ng0, , PEABLS OF THOUGHT. * We are no longer happy so soon as we wish to be happier. Liberty can be safe only when suffrage is illuminated by education. He who laughs at cruelty sets his heel on the neck of religion and godliness To discuss an opinion-with a fool i like carrying a lantern before a blinc There cannot be a greater treacher than to raise a confidence and then de ceive it. The resolution of a moment with somi ^ men has been the turning point of in i finite issues to the world. ; A wise man will desire no more tha] I what he may get justly, use soberlj distribute oheerfully and live cor Itentedly with. If a man can write a better bool preach a better sermon or make a bett* mouse trap than hi^neighbors, thoug he-builds his house in the woods th world will make -a beaten path to h own door. 7 , V ' ' \ ? Fur the farm and home. 0 A Good Homo-Made Fertilizer. i- An old iBSue of the Journal of Ckemiss try says that a barrel of pure finely; ground bone, mixed with a barrel of - good wood ashes, about three pailfnlls - of water being added during the process 1 of mixing, is worth as much as any f commercial fertilizer ever made, and costs only half as much. It is ready for use a week after mixing, and should i be used in small quantities, b Early Shearing. One of the benefits of early shearing j is that it is the best way to destroy ticks. Fowls will clear them all off if j allowed to go where the sheep are; both sheep and fowls enjoy it. Another, i the necessity for washing is obviated, j Sheep having heavy fleeces sometimes do not dry off well after washing. Sometimes the farmer may suffer in r selling unwashed wool; but not washj ing at all is bettor for the conscience , than washing slightly and shearing \ after the grease has started again. On [ the other hand don't shear early unless the weather is fine or superior proteo tion can he given, aDd do not shear . weakly sheep unless very ticky; when . thus they may improve under such , treatment. A sheep a few days well over shearing is all right, if not allowed ( to stay out over night or through stormy weather. It is not a good practice to shq^r too close in June, as the arm rmav catiha sheddinff of the wool. r J ? Overfeeding Hokr. Tliere has never been a time when the . question of overfeeding live stock of every character has received so much attention at the hands of breeders as is now the case. Hog breeders are at present considerably exercised on aocqnnt of the fearful losses sustained by the cholera, and it has slowly dawned upon the minds of many of the gentlemen that perhaps the evil practice of overfattening has something to do with these continued losses. Science has yet failed to prove the truth of this assumption, but practical feeders and breeders are coming to that conclusion, and in many localities are governing themselves accordingly by discontinuag the practice of crowding their stock. Of all domestic animals the pig goes it upon his cheek, and at the ordinary fair or fat stock show this very fullness of cheek is apt to govern the awards. Consumers, however, do not indorse thesejpaunohy, lound, overfed a>q lrnrvTxnnrr fVraf. crr\r\A lull ObUUUU ^lUiaoi0) auvniu^ vut?v gvvv* pork cannot generally be found where animals are seemingly fed ft r lard purposes and thai alone. What is required and demanded both it home and abroad is the long-bodied aog, which affords a deep shoulder, lean nam and sides upon whioh meat instead jf fat is the rule. There has been a growing disposition to stop the practice , >f _overfeeding h^gs. andr so general ias this demand become for good lean jork, that, notwithstanding the universal practice to feed to the utmost rapacity, breeders are now changing their views and sending to market pigs hat will guarantee good paying block qualities. It is very reasonable t o suppose that an animal overloaded with ^reat masses of absolute fat and grease cannot be as healthy as the one which while sufficiently fed, is not burdened with ? mass that is only profitable to the lard manufacturer. Foreign dealers in American pork do not hesitate to assert that the stock of this country is overfed, and it is to these exporters that the American breeders are indebted for the change that cannot but result to the benefit of the feeder, the dealer and the consumer.?Exchange. Farm and Garden Notes. Salt grease, well rubbed in, is said to bn cmnd for baked bacs in cows. O""" -u Common salt is a special manure for asparagus beds when used with rich barnyard compost. In putting manure in a hill it should be thoroughly mixed with the soil And this is true also of the artificial manures and guano. One part of carbolic acid to one hundred parts of water, used carefully, for it is a poison, will kill the black aphis on peach and plum trees. Sheep fed on dry feed are frequently ? 1- T ? -3 A w ov\v\lno l trouuieu Wlbu cuio ix^Oi au a^iuaition of sulphur aud lard once or twioe will generally effect a cure. It has been discovered that common pine posts, if saturated with coal-oi 1 and then boiled in coal-tar, will remain in the ground ten years perfectly sound. For a place for delicious white turl niDS choose the site of a very old wood pile. Or if you have burnt over a j brushy, stumpy place, plant turnips there. The charcoal is an enemy to the j fly, as well as a fine fertilizer. Small trees with plenty of roots are j preferable to large trees with poor roots. In fact, unless large trees can be removed with the greatest care, and * for a short 'distance only, the small tree3 will get into bearing sooner (if fruit trees), and outgrow the large ones, P in almost every instance. Household Hints. s If jou have a garden do not throw - away the soapsuds from the laundry keep it to use as a fertilizer for your a flower beds. A nice way to prepare potatoes for i- breakfast is to cut cold boiled ones in square pieces, and dip them in beaten r egg and put them on a buttered pie )r plate in the oven; when they are hot h and brown send them to the table. ie Those who objeot to the odors of is many of the disinfectants used at the present day will fiud oharooal unob I jectionable on this aooonnt, and it is said to absorb gases in a surprising way; pieces can be laid on plates and put out of sight in a siok room. Lemon seeds, if planted and treated as house plants, will make pretty little shrubs. The leaves oan then be used for flavoring. Tie a few in a oloth and drop in apple sauoe when boiling and near done, t is a cheap essenoe. To prevent rusting of tin, rub fresh lard over every part of the dish, and then put it in a hot oven and heat it thoroughly. Thus treated any tinware may be used in water constantly and remain bright and free from rust in definitely. THE FAMILY DOCTOR. In looking for apartments always strive to secure a well ventilated bedroom. Air the room and bedolothing every morning. Keep as few clothes not in use as possible in the bedroom, and do not sleep in any garment which is worn by flay. Have no carpet on the floor, but a strip alongside the bed. Wipe off the entire floor once a week with a cloth dampened in water containing a little carbolio acid. No one circumstance is more conducive to a perfect sanitary condition of the rural home than free and uninterrupted sunlight to the outside of the house. This cannot be effected when dense clusters of shade trees are planted around and near the dwelling. These always favor humidity or dampness of the atmosphere and the abode by preventing ready absorption through the action of the sub's rays. Keep the shade trees at a respectable distance from the house. * Milk porridge can be varied so that an - nvalid will not tire of it soon. Pnt a dozen maize in abont two onps of milk, boil for five minutes; they will flavor it agreeably, though they are not intended to be eaten. A little nutmeg oan be added, or the white of an egg beaten light may be stirred in just after the milk is taken from the stove. The watermelon contains about ninety-five per cent of the purest water, and a trace of the purest sugar, and nothing has yet been discovered that furnishes so perfect and speedy a " cure" for summer complaint as watermelon, and nothing else. Even when diarrhea has been kept up by continued eating of ordinary food, until the disease has become chronic, this delicious beverage?for it is little more?watermelon, taken freely two or three times a day, has again and again been known to work wonders, and to " cure" when all the usual remedies had failed.?Food and Health.

Foot Js Health Monthly. The First Advertisement. It might be supposed that these announcements of births, marriages and 1 deaths, so interesting and valuable as we have found them to be, would early have found a place in our newspapers. Such, however, was not the case until they had reached a pretty mature age, although the earlier representative of onr newspapers. The Acta Diurna of the Romans contained such lists. The first paper in Britain published at stated intervals for the dissemination of Intelligence was the Weekly Newes, the first number of which was published in London on the 28d of May, 1622. It was destitute of advertisements and indeed contained very little news. The first advertisement appeared on the 2d of April, 1647, in number thirteen of a weekly paper called 'Perfeot Occurrences of Every Daie Journal in Parliament and other Moderate Intelligence "?a name that would make our newsboys frantic?and relates to " A Book applauded by the Clergy of England, called The Diue Eight of Church Government." For several years booksellers were the only advertisers, but as the newspapers began to ciroulate more among the less educated classes, other kind of advertisements appeared, and the columns gradually assumed a business like aspeot. The Mercurius Politicus of September 30, 1658, contained the first trade advertisement, which relates the charms of the new " drink called by the Chineans Tcha, by other nations tay alias tee."?

Twinkling of the Stabs.?A few years ago M. Montigny called attention to the fact that the scintillation of stars is considerably increased daring the anrora boreaiis. Further data on this subject are afforded in i\ recent issue of the bulletin of the Belgian Aoademy. Among other things he has observed that the phenomena 15 more pronounced n winte r than" in summei, and that stars in the northern region show the inoreased scintillation moBt. The author's general conclusion is that the effeot is not due to direct influence of eleotro-magnetio light of anrora on scintillation itself, but to disturbances(probably a cooling) whiioh coincides with the appearanoe of aurora in the upper regions of the air traversed by the starrays. - * Aids for Deaf Persons. In a store window in Broadway, New York, where a dazzling collection of speotaoles, a variety of ear trumpets and several dozen opera glasses are dis ? ?* - # a? i i_; played, a B.umDer OI oramary-iouamg canes and a common-place-looking umbrella stand in the corner. A plaoard affixed to one of the canes designates it as an acoustio cane. Another placard on the umbrella conveys the information that with the assistance of the acoustio umbrella a deaf person can hear conversation when the person speaking is at a distance. A, seoond inspection of the canes, after reading the placards, discloses_ the fact that they consist of bamboo sticks with a varnished blaok metal top and a very small horizontal piece for a handle. A salesman in ti e store exhibited a cane to a reporter, and, twisting it in his hand, disclosed a row of holes encircling the blaok metal. Placing the small horizontal piece in kvo ao* in fKn cqqtt an*3 natnyal war UIO ClUj AM ?UV VWBJ MMV? MWHW*?M Tf MJ that some men put the handle of a cane in the month, he assured the reporter that his voice was so lond that he could scarce!j endure it. He then showed a small aperture through the horizontal handle. This is oonnected with an eartrumpet ingeniously arranged in the top piece of the cane. The reporter then h?ld the handle uf frhawfrTWhi lilw UiarT It sounded as a sea shell w6uld. When the salesman spoke his voice was increased several times in volume. The chief value in the invention lies in the fact that the cane or umbrella may be used without betraying the faot of the owner's deafness. "It is wonderful," continued the clerk, "how muoh people dislike to admit that their hearing is defeotive. They come in and ask to look at eartrumpets for friends. We know that they want them for themselves. People who are hard of hearing are just as numerous as persons who are nearaisVitad. If the wish to itrnore deaf. ness waa not so pronounced, ear-trampets would be as common as spectacles," " We have sold thousands of these," continued the storekeeper, showing a miniature silver ear-trumpai calculated to fit inside the ear. " They are popular, because they can be used without exoiting remark." Another miniature ear-trumpet was shown, made from two metals, the union of which produoed eleotrioity, intended to have a vivifying influence on dead or dyings nerves. These appliances for the relief of deafness are oostly. The canes are $25 a piece, and the miniature ear-trumpets $8 a pair. Fifteen Million Dollars an Acre. A New York correspondent states that " in the more oommon streets of New York land is worth from $250,000 to $350,000 per acre. In the best part of Broadway its value is increased to $2,000,000 per acre; but in the vicinity of Wall street its value is immensely increased because this locality is the money heart of America. The land on which the Drexel building stands cost its present owners at the ratecf $14,000,000 per aore. It oocupies the oorner of Wall and Broad streets, whioh may be considered the most valuable cor ner on tnis continent?ana yet when I was a Broad street clerk in 1840 this very place was ocoupied by a hat store. The corresponding valne of property in this noighborhood has been illustrated by the recent sale of the corner of Broad street and Exchange place, which was at the rate of $15,500,000 per acre. Henoe the Drexel lot was none too dear. In fact, these dazzling figures are justified by the immensity of the transactions which occur here daily. Almost all the railroads on the continent (except New England) are managed withi{u300 feet of this spot, and the general pressure of our immense financial system gives it a value which few years^go could not have been dreamed of " An ambitioue man wbo^Krou can serve will often aid you to r^Bbut not higher than his knee; otljBpise you. might be standing in his lighjL If you would not be thou|Ba fool in other oo:ioeit, be not wise in own. 11 j flow to Get Bid of Aim.
