AGICoviTuIT 114 CInII.-Ueneral Grant, in speaking of the methods of agriculture in Uliina, said that he was shown a piece of land which had been under ouLtivatiLon every year for 5,000 years wittiout deterioration of the for tility of the soil. This resut Is effee, ted by returning to the soil everything taken from it. Fish constitutes a large proportion of tle food of the yeople), .nd all the offal not consumed lor Iku man food Is carefully applied to the soil, and fish Is a great fertilizer. Even the roots of wheat-wheat, is grown to a very limited extent-are taken and rotted In a compost, heap and returned to the soll. All the leaves and garbage are utilized in the same uanner. Ieo said: "Fataines occtir in ui.e interior of China, In which thou sands die of starvation. This is due to the want of facilities for transportation. iII the aggregate the country Produces etnough to support even the -tense life of Cnina, but, inl s9om1e seasons tlere are portions of the country where crol)s are total or partial failures, %s ile in these same seasons crops are abundant and successful in other parts. Facili ties for transportation would enable the more favored districts to supply the destitution in the localities ut want, but no such facilities exist. CosMETIcS IN BUTTER.--ThiO inas of the people have nto idea of tihe extent of thle artificial coloring of butter. There is, coimparatively spietikinig, no butter sold it this iourket wiil is not so colored. We do not state this fact for the ptrposc of alarming the but.ter eating publie, for as a rule the coloring matter used is perivetly harmless, nud4 if It does not add to tile intrinsic valute of the product, it has the negative me 'it of' not detracting from the (iitality. The principal color used is the seed of the annatto, i berry growting exteiisive ly inl Brazil. ItI is slihly aroma)Itie, and is entirely harmless when used pure. It ilmll)arts thle rich golden color to butter which consumers so ntch va Jue, alnd which co little pure iutter possosses.

GOOKJNG M AT.-The proper metho of roasting is first to place the me: near the lire, to congulate the exterior and form the imperieable erust. Whe: this Is accomplished It should be rc moved to i distance, and the cookii finished slowly at a lower temperaturc The effect of the roasting thus conduc ed Is to iciease the properties of th osmazone, thereby rendering the mea more gratifying to the palate. At th same time the jidlelous application o the heat has cooked the mass withou making It tough - and shice the meat I supended, the fat as it melts, flows of and does not soak into it. In bakinj the applicat ion of the heat is more con tinuious; tie julices are in a greate measure extracted; the confined vapor fc the oven injure the flavor; the join rests in a path of melted grease, thi tempature of which is not high enougi to prevent Its soaking Into the meat and the fit that melts oin top of tl mass is absorbed and seriously impair tle digestibility of the lean portions Roaisted mIeat is juiley, tenider aid lav orless.

If you woi'.d have your es irm, yenr bones sound wit.4t carios, and your co i lexion fair, use Hadwavys Sarsaparillian A GRATEFUL RECOGNITION. "To cure a o RoWia or LoNo BTANDINO-D1s1AS11 Is truly a victory in the healing art; hag reason. ing power that clearly discerns DEFEOT and su pues a remedy; that restores step by step-by degrees-the body whioh has been slowly it tacked and weakened by an Insidious disoas', not only commands our respect but deserves our gratitude. Dr. Radway has furnished man kind with that wondorfpl remedy, Radway's Sarsaparillian Resolvent. whiolh AOCIpi pItches this result, and suffering humanity, who drag out an existence of pain and diseage, through long days and long nights, owe him their gratitude."-afefi Nesenger. r FALSE AND TRUE. We extract from Dr. IRadway's "Ti eatise on disease and Its cure," as follows: List of Diseases Cured by Radway's Sarseparillian Resolvent. Chronic Skin Diseases, Carles of the Done, Humors in the Blood, Sorofulous DIse tsos, Bad or unnal ural Habit of Body, Syphilis and Vene real. FcVer gores. Chronic or old Ulcers, Salt Riheum, Rickets, White Swolling, Scali Head, Uterine Atfections, Cankers, Glandular Sw 11 Ings, Nodeq. Wasting and Decay of the no y. 1imples and Blolies. Tumors, Dyspepsia, K d ney and Bladder Diseases, Chronic lih uniatism and Gout, consumption, Gravel and Calculous Deposits, and varieties of the above- complaints to which sometimos are given Apeclous names. We assert that there is no known remnedy that possesses the curative power over those dis. Wases that RADwAY's IXso.VNT furnishes. It cures, step by stop, surely, from the founda tion, and restores tho injured parti to their sound condition.*The wastes of tihe body are stopped and lealtihy blood is sup alied to the mysteen, from which now ma turlat is fortued. This Is the flsst corrective noer of RADWAY'S RKsOLVENT. In cases where iho ysitem has been Falivited. and Mercury, Quicksilver., Corrosive Sublimate have wscumu Jated and become deposited in the Dones, joint4 etc., causing caries of t he bones, ricket s. sDinal curvatures, contortions, white sweltingi, Var cose veins. etc., the SAUSAPARII.LIAN will resolve away tho30 deposits an a exterminate the virus of the disease from the system. - If those who are taking these medicines for the cure of Chronic, Scrofulous or Syphilitic di- - Pases, however slow nity b, the cure. "icel bt ter," ant find their general health improving, their flesh and weight increasing, or even keep ing its ow, is a sure sign that the ouro is pro gressIng.*In those diseases the patient either Sets better or worse-the virus o( I.he disease i not inactive; If not arrested and driven from the blood it will spread and continue to under. mine the constitution. As soon n the AUSA FARILLIAN make.4 the pal lent 'f-il bel ter," every hour you will grow better and increase in health, strength and f1esh. OVARIAN TUMORS.
