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

Introduction of railroads in the United
States Is that of canutls. They have
been' and now are to a great extent

AGRICULTURE.
ONIoNs.-A field for onions should be
ucarly level. 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. The seed 1
hould be sowi 9s early In the spring e
as it, is possible to prepare the land. r

A SINECURE ON THE Roor.--VLile a
rliet Gerian family were seated
1,cround the Sunday hearthstone, the
-iriouis professions which are open to
a m :i et ability came up for disoussion.
11ne member of the circle preferred to
be a doctor, another a lawyer, and so t
,'n. It is needless to say, however, that
a large majority of the children expr, s -
(i a pecided preference for a snug sine
nire where the work was unimportant
rind the salary excessive. 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.'' There," lie said, "that's
what I would like, to sit on the roof
and have a large salary."

)f hoisting and removing earth, rock,
)r other natorial, has now been in use
ome two or three years on the work of
he inventors, who are contractors on
he "Quebec Harbor Improvements."
t consists, essentially. of a circular
)latiorin mounted upon wheels which
-un )upon a circular track. 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

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. Tie derrick can be
wvorked and moved from point to point
ither by means of. crib-work or piles
ad ordinary railroad track, or by a

Yegrees-the body which has been elowl y at
tacked and weakened by an insidious disease,
not only commands our respect but deserves
our gratittde. 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,

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.
