-U- -- Concerning Canals. -Canals were anciently constructed for the purpose of iritation, but after wards on an enlarged scale were util. fzed as water-courses for inland navi gation. The waters of the Euphrates, the Nile and other rivers in the East were convoyed by such artilicial ettan ne18 inland, as sources of fertility. Chaldea, Assyria, Egypt and Babylon were thus enriched with bounteous harvests. 11erodatus, the pioneer of historians, relates as one of the greatest wonders of that kingdom that reek<med among its atupenaous pu blic works hang ing gardens, brazen gates and walls 300 feet high, a canal built 1700 B. C., and which, reopened by Nebuchad nezzar eleven centuries later, afforded a passage to ships. The great canal of China which connects the Peiho with the Yangtsi Kiang, 500 miles distant, forms a communication from Pekin to Canton, a distance of 1000 miles. iII the Celestial Empire, when the popti lation are not regarded as divine beings, man-power is the power used the entire route. In the Netherlands, Lowlands, of Holland, hollow land canals are so n umerous that. they are tsei as roads traversed by boats in open weather, anG on sleds and skates in winter. More' than once, when artmies invaded the country, the Dutch, by opertug the canai sluice gates, saved their independ ence by lnundating the enemy. To the ship canal, fifty-ono miles in length, which connects the river T 'with the North Sea, Amsterdaun owes its comt ntercial prosperity, It Germany, by - such artificial channels, the Danube is made to bleitd its waters with the R{hine, and ,n like manner a communiation is ,opened fron the Mediterranean to the Atlantic by the' Canal .du Alidi, which commences at Toulouse, in France, and dates back two ceiinturle. So highly is civil engineering skill hon o0ld iii England that a oninoner wis created Duke of Bridge water as a royal recognitLion for having constructe(d the first aqueduet in the kingdom. Other subjects have since the last century h)on knighted for eminence in the stme s -lentille I r lfessi m.

The oldest of these in the country are the Sotilh iladley and llontagite, in Massachusetts; the Middlesex, connecting Boston -1arborI with the Merrinae; the Erie, connecet Ing Champiain with the tide-water of the lludsoi. and the Chesapeake and Ohio, from Cumberiand to Georgetowt, a distanee of i1 tuiles.

If there are elovations In it the soil on them will be likely to wash away, carrying off the seed before t germinates, or leaving part of the onions exposed to the sun. A piece of land intended for onions should be en ,Irely free from the seeds of weeds ri ,he start, and there should be a deter uuation on the part of the grower to al ow none to attain any considerablet size. Absolutely clever culture is es hential in producing a paying crop of )nlons. Neglect in. this matter will ause a vast amount of work, which vill not, after all, insure a good crop of )nions. A field of onions can not be # ieglected oil account of a demand for abor on other parts of a farm. Unless farmer has help that can attend to his lot of onions during the season of lowing corn, cutting grass. and liar estiug grains, it will be better not to ; ttempt to raise the crop at all. The t are of onions, hbwever, calls for light aork, which may be chiefly performed )y old men, partial luvalid(s, .wme, s tnd children. Persons who can not a mrfort heavy work on ttte farmu may v ngage in onion-raising to excellent, ad- ( vantage. It Is useless to undertake to 'aise at paying crop of onions on land a bhatis not v,ry highly manured. From hirt.y to fifty loads of manure should t be applied to an acre of land designed s ['or- producing this crop. It should be a well rotted and free from the seed of t Krass and weeds. Unleached ashes i 'orm a valuable addition to composted ;table manure. After at piece of' land a has been prepared for onions It is best o rontinuc the crop for ia series of years. As onions are gross feeders It will, of course, be necessary to apply a i 3oating of manuro every season. Tie a soll of an onion-field should be well t pulverized and the manuro thoroughly t incorporated with it A fter itis plowed E tnd harrowed a roller should be om- i ployed for crushing the lumps. Many I growers etulloy a handI(-rake for 1111ing c ,he soil before the seed is sown. About 'our pounetsof seed are required for an tere. It should be the product of the v previous season. The .seed may be c estel by cout it!ing out a certin number I tndl placing them on some moist cot'.on a laid in a saucer. Itf gool, it will germ- y nate in three or four days.

During the liscussion of this imhportant topic one of the children, who had an open1 Jible on his kneess, said, "Well, I should like to sit on the roof all my days and have nothing to do, Just liki( Joseph in Fgypt." Very naturally the attention of the family was excited by the remark, and the boy was asked to explain himself. le turned over the leaves of the book, and triumphantly read the passage which aroused his envy : "And Pharoah put Joseph over his house.''

Tiis circ ar plati'orm carries two or more booms, trranged syunotrically, and conibined vith suitable hoisting apparatus for 'ising material upon one side and noving it to any poin; in the sweep of he boon. The circular platform of he derrick now in use is forty feet In lineter, with a nast thirty-eight feet tigh, and booms of olIe hundred and en feet each, thereby making the total wing of the derrick two hundred and wenty feet. The revolving nachinery tonsists of a pair of 6 x 10 cylinders, onnecting by bevel gearing with a rertical shitft, at the lower end of which s a pinion working with a circular 'ack of 12 feet in diameter. This pin on is held securely in-gear by the stead ness of the circular platforni upon its ,rack, and it is not effected by any light vertieal motion o1' the platform. l'he noisting is done by an additional air of engines, s x 14 clyinders, con iecting with two frictfon drums work ng independently, - by the -evolving derrick material can )e hoisted to any desired poklit,,and re noved horizontally from two to four iundred feet, for is plain that by in 3reasing the clrcular platform and llongating the mast the sweep of the )oois can be realily extended to the atter distance.

Dr. Radway has lurnlshed man kind with that wonderful remedy, ladWay's RBareapnrtl-llan Resolvent, which accom plishes this result, and suffering humanity, who dtag out an existence of pain and disease, through long day% and long nights, owe him their gratitude."-MdcAfcul Messenger. FALSE AND TRUE. We extract fronl.Dr. Radway's "Treatise on tisease and Its Cunr," as follows: List of Diseases Cured by " Radway's Sarsaprllian Rosolvent, Chronic Skin Diseases, Caries of the Bone Humors in the Blood, Sorofulous Diso ses, Bab or unnatural Habit of Body, Syphilis and Vente real, Fever Sores, Chronio or Old Ulbers Salt Rheum, Rickets, White Mwollipg, $cali l'lend, Uterine AiTections, Cankers Glandular Swell ings, Nodes, vasting and Deony of the Body, Plmpls and Blotches. Tumors, Dysnopsia, Kid ney a:id Bladdor Diseases Chronic lith, umat and ()out, Consumption, bravol and Calculolp Deposits, and varieties of the above complaints to which sometimes are given specious names. We assert that there is no known remedy that possesses ,he curatiVo power over those dis eases that lAWAY's RESOLVRNT furnishes. It cures, step by step, surely, from the founds. tion, and restores the injured uarts to their sound condition. The wanteta of the body are stopped andl healthy blood is sup plied to the syntenm, f'em which now Ia terial h formed. l'I'a is the fisst corrective power of RADWAT's REsOLYRNT. In oases whore he systen has been salivated. and Mercury, Quicksilver, Corrosive Sublimate have accuniu tated and become deposlt ed in the bones, joints etc., oausing earies or the bones, rickets, sninai curvaturos, eont)rtions, white swellings, vari cose veins. etc., the 'AiSAPARiI.LIAN wilt resolve away those deposits an i exterminate tho,virus "f the disease from the system. . * If those who are taking these medicines for the cure of Chronto, 8ecr.,ulous or. Syphilitic dis eases, howovi'r slow mayb' the cure, "idel.bet '"er," and flnd their general health improving, 'heir fieih and weight incronsing, or even keep ng its pwn, Ia a sure sign th,t, the cure is pro r ssintg.!.n these diseases the patient either - uts butter or worse-the virus of the disease , not inactiv.; If not arrested and driven from ho blood It will spread and continue to under, nine the constitution. As soon as the SARSA ARII,LIAN makes the patient "feol beltor," every lour you wlll grow better and Increase in hiealth, 4trength and tlesh. OVARIAN TUMORS.
