ONDERUL $911 ATIONS OF TOZi XIO MCOPE. - thesI 4"etnYa"'a tv The soientito world - has bee groeati, -startled aid aditatel of late by the iove with the ioros of the most dread T .6~~nomy"of In &WaIn the form of Myriads ot little a n prasites. The air we breathe and live is chargod with these deadl little, urowtbe in proortion .as-it Is infelel from various .novous sourbes. Having by recent experiments and research been shown to be the most fruitful cause of disease known, and the welfare and - health of every individual dopendin so largely on the freedom from their dostruo. tive ravages, it is but natural that the re. ports of recent investigators in this field of scientific inquiry shoul be widely road, and that every phase of those astounding discov. eries should be subject to universal discuss ion. At first rocAved with some suspicion they have at length been thoroughly roven, and are now receivin the unquall ed in. dorsoment of the lea * scientific men throu< hout the world. But little else is talked of in the schools and clubs of science, and the medical and scientific Journals are crowded with the testimony that is being addil corroborative of the value of the mar velous discovery which is pronounced the greatest advance in medical science of mod ern times. To L. PASTEUR, the eminent French scientist, who by his learned invest igations has saved to France so many millions of dol lars, is probably due tho honor of first point ing out the terrible power of these germs. In recognition of his great service the govern ment has recently voted him from the public treasury $10,000 with which to continue his exleriments. lie has described several va rietios of those parasites, some comparatively harmless, others extremely dangerous. Or-& form he proved by a sories of vaccinations and other conclusive experiments was the causo of death of many thousands of ani mals and herds of cattlo; another the active agent in the death of fowls by cholera. Act ing upon the knowledge he had gained of the naturo of these germs, ho pointed out a means of relief that speedily prevented a spread of the diseasos and ended their devas tation. TYNnArT, with the aid of other eminent English investigators, made a number of ox atninations of the floating particles in the atmosphere and found numbers of living spores capablo of Producing disease. In dry and healthy locil ities but few germs were found, and these of the harmless varieties, X hilo in low damp plicoi, crowded houses id unhPalthy cities, the poisonous germs W ere extromly numorous everywhere. (Dr RuDoin Hoon, of WVallstein, Ger M any, a nman whos work in connection with thi organisms of contiagious diseases has in de him a recognized authority upon the s ject, by experimenting akftor t oMethods of VITmMIN, has discovered and published a i account of one of tho most dialigorous vi ioties, to which it is proven more deaths n o duo than to any disoaso incident to the I uman-raco. Ho describes it as a simiplo cellular organ sm belonging to tho oamiio order as the bue ti'Na. Whon dried the germs may, without losing any vitality, endtiro great extromes of tonorituro. Being as fino and as light as - (lust, invisible to the naked eye, they may be blown any distance by the wind or carried upon the clothing or body. Likosods, they miny lio for months or years undisturbed upon the furniture floor, onrpets, ourtnins, walth, or in the bedding, and only requirin a proper degroo of warmth, moistilre at q food to waken into life, dove!op and grow. They thrive and live in the blood, lymph, mucus nild socretions of tho human body. Whon the system is unhoialthy or wonk they ttlack the colls that make up the anianl frame. Any albuminous fluid will furnidi them with food for growth, and a single drop is Rufflcient to contain hun dreds. Ex:nimied with microsopos of great >ower, which unlargo them so iltt they can o seen and studied they have the appear aIco of minuto rod-liko bodies hnving, when activer some power of motiol. They bend in the middle like a bow and straigliton with a ork that sends them a few timos their own etigth. At the temieraturo of the human body they are the imost, active. TJheir potwor of increiaco or reproduction is reimarkably' great. One germi in a few weeks' tune, under favorable condit ions, will give rise to millions. The process is by simple growth and division. Cold dlestroysI or pre vonts their growth, and this is why refrigera tion prevents decay of meats an dother ani mali foods. Exposed to warmth these small organiisms attack and oat up the albumtinous tissues, leaving a foul mass. The odors so common to this process are) given offrby these nminte orgianis,and is-'about the only indi cationi of t I oir presence. This is the wairnini of unrturo aii it is ani instinct to avoid all sucha smells. The foul breat h, bad odors of old.i ores, etc., loadis manti to avo'id theso gorms in a great measuire. Thie danigor of their pros onceo in time body cant b) imagrined when their rampid increase is comniderod. A few germs mny lbe readily absorbed into theosystem by breathing air containing them. They are thus drawni into the interior of the body through thme long and narrow respiiratobry paRssage.s of the throat, chest n'id nose, which tire lined with soft imembtrano and covered wit.h sticky nimcur. In this ihuid they find ready \odgmtet and favorable c.ondi tionis for developmnmt, increase and1( growth.

If active nmil hiealthiy, the liver, kidneys and bowels have to a wvond,rfuil extent the p>ower of oxpielling ihteo deadly animualcuhe or parasites from the system. Aiid tins fact furnishes an imiportant indication for the successful treatment of all the long list of snaladies caused by those 1 arasites as wvill be hereinafter shown.. TPho studies of .liANOIstoA, an omimieitt italian, and Woon, F"onsuAn and others, are interest ing, us showing the large variety of chronic diseases as heretofore classified, that result fronm these germs. Among the nmostommton were '"liver coimpilaint,"' biliousness or tor>id liver, dyspopsia or inidigestlen, lunng afleo ions, bronchitis, kidney diseases, chronic diarrhea, spinal com.plaint, fever-sores, white swellings, hip-jomnt, disease, rhieumna tism, malarinl diseases, such as fever and ague or Intermittent fever-, general and niervous debilities, femaleoweaknesses, chronticontarrh of the head or ozonema, many forms of uni healthy discharges fronm internal organis, and till the various scrofulous affections of thme skin, glainds, bonmes, joints, etc., including 3onisumptiont, wvtihi is but scrofulous dhis. case of the lungs.

Ior tb hose O when once w in the ysem t necessar to resort to vegetable remedies in order to cleanse the blood of the germs without in jury to the patient. An Amerfloah physioian of large experi. once in the treatment of all forms of obj;onIo diseases, now conclusively shown to be caused by parasitio life, for many years de voted uuch time to the investigation of the causes of these affections, and in the treat ment of many thousands of cases developed and thoroughly tested a combination of veg etable agents which ho used with marvelous success in their ouro. In cases of wasting disease, as consump tion or sorofula of the lungs and other or. gans, and in all cases attended with groat weakness it was found to exert tho.most wonderful toniq and restorative influences, beside. its nutritive properties far surpass those of cod liver oil or any of the remedial agents resorted to by the medical profession in such cases. Hypophosphites iron and quinine bear no comparison to it in build ing up tho strength of the debilitated. The recipe, as advised by him, has boon used for years with the greatest success in a vast and most successful practice. The written experience of the many suffer era who have been cured and who express in terms of the highest praise their indorso ment of its great value, are sufficient to fill volumes. Living witnesses are everywhere, monuments to modern genius and scientific progress in the healing art. Sufferers from "liver complaint," giving rise to "bad blood," consumption, sorofula, and other affections and symptoms, the re. sults of blood poisoning from the ravages of the deadly parasites or disease germs so briefly referred to, find in this remedy prompt relief and a permanent cure. The great and increasing demand for this God-given and peerless reody for so many apparently different, but really kindred, all. ments, led to its preparation in pure and convenient form under the name of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It can be obtained the world over at drug and gon oral stores, and full directions for its use will be found in the pamphlot that surrounds each bottle. It exerts the most won derful stimulating and invigor ating influence on the liver, that greatest gland of the human system, which las boon not inaitly termed the "house keeper of our health." Through the in creased notion of the liver and other omuno tory organs of the system, all poisonous gorms are rendered innotive and gradually expelled from the system with other impuri. ties. In some cases, where there are un healthy discharges, as f roin the nostrils in casos of either acute or chronic catarrh, the use of Dr. Sago's Catarrh Remody, a mild and healing antisoptio lotion, should be nssociated with the use of the Discovery. It is also advisable to use this lotion in other local manifestations of disenso of mucous sturfaves. Hy thiisineans the gorms of disease are dostroyod and the membranos cleansed before any of the poisonous barilli are absorbod into the 1ood. In sore throat, quinsy or diphtheria. the Catarrh iomnedy liquid should be used as a gargle, and the Golden Medical Dis covery taken freely. In women whore weakness of speoial or galls is common and almost certain to be developed, attended by backacho, bearing (Wn sensations and other local symptoms, the use of Dr. Pierco's Favorite Prescrip tion inl conijunction with that of the Dis covery, speedily restores the healthy func itns and assists in building up and invig orating the systei. In any case where the bowels have boon costive and are not roeulated and noted upon sutilciently by the mild laxative proportves lossessed by the Golden Medical Discov(r, Dr. Pierco's Pleasant Purgative Pellets (little liver pills) taken in small doses of only one or two each day, will aid imteilly in estab lishing healthy action, and in expelling the disonse-I)roducing germs from the blood and systoni. At the risk of repetition and by way of re captlitulaition, we may truthfully say that (lolden Medical Discovery enures all humors, from the worst scrofula to a connnon blotch, p iiplo or crup,tioni. Ery'sipelas, salt-rheoum' fever sores, sealy or rough skin, in short, ll disensosi causedt by disease germs in the bulood, are coiiuored by this powerful, purl fyinug andi( iivigorating mediie.

'The farm -iI 'arely thought of as the hmne which the 4bitrenir to oop during alife-tine and then leave to -hers There is too much ohanaveg with the ,rops--lrst one thing and IMen another, the result of which is a shifting which in-profitless. For a few years it may be that sheep. raising is the leading feature of the farm Poon to be followed by rearing a breed of cattle, or cultivating hops, tobacco, or even rhubarb. The general manage ment of a farm should be planned onoe for all, It only being subject to those changes that an improvement in agri cultural methods suggest. The work of a farm should go on regularly year after year, so that even m mid-winter the farmer may make his arrangements,and com lete his scheme of work, for the whofl season. The man who is trying to sell his farm, has his heart in some other locality or business, and he who Is ready to devote his energies to some new crop or method, is seldom on the highway to success. It Is well to try that which is new, but not by giviug up the old and well-tried methods. THE horse's hoof necessarily sees the hardest .service of any portion of his structure, and is the only part that can be mutilated by cutting and burmng, as is the common practice by men calling themselves shoers, by nails made too large and driven too deep, Every horse owner of experience will, when he has occasion for the first time to havea colt shod, select a smith who will do as the owner directs, and not follow the prao tice generally in vogue in times past and still too commonly practiced. It is probable that outside of the farm more horses are detective in the feet than in any other part. This comes from the combined influences of hard usrge and mutilation in shoeing.Large ly from the latter, because a hoof prop erly trimmed and shod will stand an extraordinary amount of contact, ho w ever rough, with every sort of pavement in use, SoME of the Western journals give an account of the extensive and well man aged strawberry plantations of Parker Earle, of Cobden. Ill., who is widely known as one of our most skilrul fruit cultivators. lie has 20 acres of the Crescent, and several acres each of Downing, Captain Jack, Sharploss and other sorts. The Crescent succeeds ad mirably in wet seasons. His entire 80 acres are liberally treated with manures. Bofore being sent to market, the fruit is thoroughly cooled in cooling houses, and it is then shipped in refrigerator cars, hy which soft berries are carried with safety. Beside the wide strawber ry plantations, there are 30 acres of the Turner raspborry,and 16 acres of black berries, Mr. Earle has also 80 acres of pears on another farm, of which fifty acres are in bearing, and one half are Bartletts,but many have died of blight. Ir Indian corn has a value of 64 as compared with 103, the stanpard of hay as a ration for stock, then potatoes would rank at 245; that is, it would take 195 pounds of potatoes to fatten as far as 64 pounds of corn, or nearly 4 times as much. Beets are rated at 836 pounds in the scale;thxus, theoretically,it would take five times as many pounds as of Indian corn; but fattening idi not in question, but health. It is found in practice with farm animals that the ra tion of succulent vegetable food largely mncrease the digestibility of grain; and this is especially true with swine, to which roots are a natural food. Font 40 years I have been employed by my neighbors who have had cows wit,h stoppages in their teats to lance the obstructions,and have boon success ful in curing many bad oases. 1 was at first troubled to hit upon a plan of con lining a cow so as to be in no danger myself and at the same lime not hurt her, but at last succeeded, I used a strap three-quarters of an inch wide,six feet long ithU twvo loops and a buokie; one loop quite largo. Now I loop tis onto the right leg aboveo the gambrel, pass the strap around the ether leg, then cross it back and forth a few times and buckle snugly and 'tie done. Such a strap is very valuable in breaking hoi lers to milk. THEii lands of Western Kansas; here tofore regaided as worthless for larm purposes, are to be irrigated and made productive. Water is to be reta,ined is reservoirs from the sp)ring floods on the Arkansas River, and convoyed to ditch os as needed. The1 txperiment has suc ceded on a small scale, and 3 compan,ies have been organis sd with large capital to begin the work of irrigation, It is believed that after a few years evapora tion from the side (ditches will increase the rainfail. TIs has been the usual result of attemp)ts at irrigation ini other sections. "D)nAco" says: "Whben farmers learn from experience that by honsing theiir manure and thoroughly wvorking it over mixing with absorbents sucu as muck, earth, road dust, leaves, etc.,to take up the liquid and the ammonia set free, its value is double what it now is, and,too, at an expense much loss than the sameo amount of plant lood could be obtained in an artificial fertilizer, a new era 'will have buen reached in agriculture, and we shall see the fertility of our larmns brought back to where they woero Iity years ago DID any one 01 our reacterseover think howv many steps a farmer takes ini a year? Take the simple planting of a field of corn. Take a five ace field. To breaki It up would require walking soe forty miles; harrowing it, ten mniles;(ur rowing It, 20 mIles, planting, 11 miles if with a planter, and It dropped by hand and then covered, 20 mdles.

Tu hog, l;ke the horse, has no extra stomach to store away food, therefore i fed but twice a day anit what lhe will eat, lie overloads his stomach, and if the food is not pushed beyond the pint where it will digest, the stomachis so full that 4 considerable portion of the food fails to come in contact with the lining of the stomach, and thus a very large paroportion of the nutriment in the food is lost. Experiments p rove tha.t a hog thus fed wastos mere than one-half of the meal given him.

Very OffectAve tidies are maie in trips in f&4herman's twine, crocheted in >pen lAnk and joined together at regular in tervals, They are made very effective by the insertion of gay satin ribbons of every color, finished off at the ends I with little bows. EFFEoTIVE hangings for small wit dows can be made out of fashion drap ery of dark color by placing deep stripes of lighter color in felt or cloth across' the top and bottom within six inches of the edges. When the stripes are in position they can be sewed on in fancy stitches in colored crewelB or silks, the stitches reaching some distance over the edge of the stripe on to the body of the material, and so forming a sort I of bordering, which can be made very I effective.. A HNDSOME Cover for a grand piano is in plush, velvet, and silk; the centre being of dark plush, has a deep border ing of olive velvet, triangular pieces of rioh-coiored silks being placed at inter vals where the bordering is sewed on. Upon each separate triangle a design is worked in raised embroidery, while in the centre a handsome pattern is carved out iin very elaborate ribbon-work.
