But we Unionists Know what we
should still have thought and felt if we had
been beaten, and wc need not suppose that
our opponents are not made of the same
clay. Now the important fact is that the
strength of the Democratic party lies in that
part of the country where the feelings and
opinions of the dominant and ruling cla-s
are expressed by such papers a the iVr.
That class for many vcars before the war
determined the policy of the Democratic,
party, exposing the country to the just
scorn of the world by fts insolent slavery
propaganda, by which also it sought to dc-
frade and debauch the national character,
t ruled the party iK-tause it had a positive
and definite purpose, and carefully trained
Its political ugenU to secure it. The party
to-day in the other States is stronget among
the worst population of great cities. In

the least enlightened parts of the city. In
New England, in New York aud Pennsylva
nia, In the West and Northwest, the party is
not itrong. Its citadel is in the Southern
t Mates, and the ruling class there has its own
feelings, principles and purposes. It is
united, able and resolute. Because f this,
and bwause it is absolutely essential to the
Jar1y success, it will naturally and neces
sarily control the party policy. The Demo
cratic parly in the "other States lias no
common principle or purpose. It proclaims
reform, but nowhere does it even pretend to
attempt it except in the State of New York,
and its prestlgo there is entirely eclipsed by
the sturdy and successful reforms of the Ke-
fmlrlk-an Secretary Hristow. Meanwhile it
s hopelessly divided upon the financial ques
tion. The one part of the organization
which is heartily united Is that in the South

lies, and where its real drif twhould it obtain

On the rtrret the other day we saw a
fretful mother roughly shaking and chid
log, for-behi co cross,'1- n sensitive
child, w ho sJirnnk in nervims tcrTorfrom
the - harsh blast of a toy trumpet, sounded
in his car by a jolly "little urchin, who
eri'icnlly had intended to give pleasure
not pain. . The frightened child, w ith pale
f.ice, Jreinblinar lips Had pathetic little
suppressed soh, struggled manfully to
eiiirtcr his nerves and his woundcl
beart. , "Cross was clearly the very hist
Wur 1 that should have been applied to the
suffering little fellow, whose nerves were
et vtremblc for at least one whole day
rot so much by the shock f the discordant
blast, which a few kind words might-have
soothed away, as by the auiscqucnl
rough handling and rougher tones of
his mother, and by his ovn very great
clfort at Kclf-coinmnnd.
Of course, the cruelty of this mothei
was unconscious, but not, on that account,
much the less culpable. It should be the
business of those who have the care ol
children net only to see Ihst they have
proper food and clothing, but also td
tdtuly their characters, dispositions and
nerves. Notwithstanding the attention
that scientific pli3'sici;ins arc now paying
to the nervous system, we cannot yet ex
pect to know the reasons why a noise, an
odor, n touch, that is innocuous to most, to a
few may cause terror, or pain,r faintness,
or death. Yet hy observation we may find
out what nflccH unpleasantly the nerves ol
the child intrusted to our care, and by
avoiding as far as possible exposing it to
the cause of its nervou fears or irritation,
and by gently soothing it when such ex
posuro is unavoidable, gradually inure its
nerves to bear with fortitude the painful
excitement.
In this way we have known nervous
antipathies to bo overcome when a con
trary course would have produced acriotw
consequences, perhaps even death.
Altaic girl whom we knew was thrown
almost into convulsions at the sight of a
dog or a cat. The parents would not al
low either animal to lie about their prem
ises; and with equal good sense would
never permit the child's terrors to le
spoken "of. in her presence. If, by chance,
one of the obnoxious aniiua's approached
her, she was always taken up, s if by ac
cident, and her attention diverted. After
a time she gained courage enough to look
at the causes of her terror, when their
beauties and good qualities were pointed
out to her, though she was never asked to
touch thctn. Now Uie child has grown to
1h a young woman, conspicuous for her
fondness for all animals, and especially
for dogs and cats. Had her parents ab
ruptly attempted to make her conquer her
antipathy, its impression would, in ail
probability, have been so deepened that
she could never have risen alove it. In
a similar rase, of which wc have leen
told, the child died in convulsions, in
duced by being compelled to touch a
horse, the object of its nervous terror. On
the other hand, by weakly humoring such
fears, talking alout them in the presence
ol those subject to them, and thus allow
ing or leading their minds to dwell upon
them, the unfortunates may be all their
lives subject to the bondage of an unrea
soning terror.
A striking instance of the danger of
disregarding a nervous dread i related in.
the memoir of Charles Maj'ne Young. A
young gentleman had been appointed at
tache to the 1'ritish Legation attst. Peters
burg. On his arrival at that capital he.
was congratulated by the Ambassador on
being in time to witness the celebration of
a grand fet., and invited to accept in the
great church a seat among those reserved
For the Ambassadorial party. Though, in
such cases, an invitation is equivalent to
a command, the attache legged to !e ex
cused. Ueinvr pressed for his reasons, he
gave them with much reluctance.
"There will be martial music," he said,
"and I have an insuperable objection to
the sound of a drum. It gives mc tor
tures that I cannot describe. .My respira
tion becomes so obstructed that it seems
to me that I must die."
The Ambassador laughed, saying that
he should esteem' himself culpable if he
allowed bis attache to yield ti a weakness
so silly, and commanded him to be present
at the fctr.
On the day appointed all were in their
places, when suddenly was beard the clang
of martial music and the beat of the great
drum. The Ambassadors with ironical
smile, turned to see the eflect upon the
"young hypochondriac." The poor fel
low wns upon the floor quite dead. On a
pot-mortfiii examination it appeared that
the fhock to his finely-strung nervous or
ganisation had caused a rupture of one of
the valves of the heart.
If then, as we see, the adult with every
reason for subduing nervous antipathies,
apparently so unreasonable and ridiculous,
finds it imossible to do so, how can a
little child be expected to control or ex

Fad Effects of Jteor-DrlnMrsr.
The worst results from accidents in the
Loudon hospitals are said to Ikj draymen.
Though they are apparently models of
health and strength, yet if one of them
receives a serious injury it is nearly al
ways necessary to amputate in order to
give him the most distant chance of life.
The draymen have the unlimited privi
lege of the brewery-cellar. Sir Ashley
Cooper was once called to a drayman, who
was a powerful, lresh-colored, healthy
looking man, and had suffered an injury
in his finger from a small splinter ot a
stave. 1 he wound, though trifling, sup
purated. He opened the small abscess
with his lancet. He found, on retiring, he
had left his lancet. Returning tor it, be
found the man in a dying condition. The
man died in a short time. Dr. Gordon
says: " The moment beer-drinkers are at
tacked with acute diseases they are not able
to bear depletion, and die." Jr. Edwards
says of beer-drinkers r " Their diseases
are always ot a dangerous character, and
in case of accident they can never under
go even the most trifling operation with
the security of the temperate. They most
invariably die under it." Dr. liuchan
says: JVfalt liquors render the blood
izy and unfit for circulation ; hence pro
ceeds obstructions and inflammation ot the
inngs. There are tew great beer-driukers
who are not phthisical, brought on by the
indigestical nature of ale and porter. .
. . These liquors inflame the blood and
tear the tender vessel- ot the lungs to
pieces." Mr. Maxsonsaj-s: "Intoxicating
ilrinks, whether taken in the form of fer
mented or distilled liquors, arc a very fre
quent predisposing cause of disease."
The hospitals of New York show an
equally unfavorable record of the intem

, . , T Children'" Secret.
w J . . - - . . I .
Children might be supposed, from the
candor which ia undoubtedly a character
istic of their nature. Incapable of having
or keeping secrets. It is not so, however,
and even the youngest infant may lie said
to have. In one sense, its concealments;
but these in Its ta.se, are compulsory. .
. The babe, with its faeile but perplexed
movements, and no utterance but a cry,
is destitute of the chief means intelli
gent action and articulate sjeceh-; by
which human beings disclose to each
other their thoughts and feelings. It
seems a cruelty of fate that the most
helpless creature, and one the most in
need of the rational aid and sympathy of
others, I the least able to Invoke them.
Its very helplessueS does, indeed, irre
sistibly appeal to every human heart and
hand ; but what avails the sentiment of the
one or the act on of the other if there is
no light to guide them? A mother's in
stinctive sharpness of perception will often
penetrate with wonderful quickness and
certainty into the depths of her Infant's
nature, but that little mystery is not
always disclosed even to maternal scrutiny
It should be made more a study than
it is to get at tho involuntary
secrets of infancy. tuch imperfect means
of expression as they have, and confused
mode in which they employ them,
should lie investigated and obs rved
with diligence, home intelligent physi
cians have recognized the importance
of this, and, "making a specialty
of the treatment of infants, have devoted
themselves to a study of their peculiari
ties. A certain degree of insight is jwssi
ble to such, who have found hy close ob
servation something like a clew to lead
them into the obscure labyrinths of a
baby's nature. To them, perhaps, the
management and treatment of infancy
may Ik; safely confided, for they know
enough, at Uai-t, of the dltlicuities to ap
proach them with a discreet distrust of
their owcr to easily overcome them.
The boldness in the ordinary medical
treatment ot the infant It something mar
velous when we think of the difficulty of
discovering its requirements and its great
susceptibility of harm. Doctors, with all
the information they can get from the
most communicative patient, will often
be puzzled to detect his ailment De
prived of this means of knowledge
in the case of the infant, it might
seem there wouid be more fre
quently ignorance and fear of danger; yet
there Is apparently less caution in feeling
the way in the profoundly obscure than in
the comparatively light. The family
..Esculapius, perhaps not overbold, ordi
narily, and the most timid woman, will
seem to forget all prudence and ban
ish all terror when an ailing baby is taken
in hand. They will dose and doctor it,
and forcibly pour vial afier vial of nause
ous and . poisonous stuff into its stomach,
as if it Merc insensible to harm as the
sink of an apothecary's shop. When it is
impossible to know wiiat may be the ail
ment of a child, however grievously af
flicted, the only safety is to do nothing, or,
at any rate, only to do what will obvious
ly relieve suffering without involving the
risk of any danger. '
The compulsory secrets of infancy, we
are persuaded, might be further disclosed
even to mothers and nurses if their olwer
vation were more acutely nnd steadily ex
ercised than it ordinarily is. How little
able are most to discriminate between the
different cries of babyhood! They are,
however, as different as the various notes
of the gamut, and each is more or less
distinctively expressive of some especial
teeling. So, too, the gestures, though yet
wanting that precision of movement which
comes from experience, will, if closely
watched, serve to indicate with tolerable
accuracy somc-f the most pressing re
quirements of the youngest chihl. If an
attention was concentrated upon infants
similar to that upon the lower animals by
those whose vocation it is to take charge of
them, their wants might be more clear
ly discerned and their interests more
fullj' served. They are too often regarded
merely as in traimiiu, and Ihcrctore treat
ed with respect not to what they are, but
what they are to 1h Accordingly, the
treatment only applicable to articulate
speaking and more or less rational In-ings
is transferred w ithout discrimination to a
dumb and almost senseless creature.
ith increase of years ami the acquisi
tion of the ower of intelligible expres
sion the young, no longer secretive by
compulsion, become so voluntarily, thus
confirming, as it were, the cynical saying
that language is given to man to con
ceal his ' thoughts. Children have a
great disposition to hide their actions
from observation, and will often re
fuse to confess whatever they may
have done, be it of ever so trifling
an import. The small faults, it faults
they can be called, into which they are
frequently led by their' natural impulses
are kept to themselves with a closeness
worthy of a Spartan. This, undoubted
ly, can often be traced to a fear engen
dered by the severity of parents and teach
ers, who arc a to exaggerate petty de
linquencies, and those of a kind
for which the child can hardly be
held, morally responsible, into gross
offenses, which they regard as amen
able to the most cruel punishment.
The jnnoccncc of a child is thus, not
seldom, converted into guilt. He rifles an
unguarded jam-iot, or erhaps appropri
ates a bright button, and is at once
proclaimed a precocious thief, and pun
ished and pilloried accordingly. The
next time his mouth waters for sweets or
his eye is charmed with a sparkling bau
ble, which are as natural to a chihl as
lrcu!hing, he indulges his instincts again
at the expense of the store-room and the
work-biisket; but, having learned front cx--perience
the risks of frankness, takes care
to conceal his acts. If suspected and
charged with them, his fears prompt him
to a denial, and he is thus made at least a
liar, if not an habitual thief. Harper's

The London Daily JWv publishes an
interesting letter from Mr. Smithurst, the
engineer of the steamer which made the
voyage up the newly-discovered Baxter
River, New Guinea. The river seems to
be a magnificent one and could evidently,
says Nature, be made navigable to a con
siderable distance inland. The exploring
party found the banks to consist mainly of
mangrove swamps, though near the end
of the journey high clay banks with rn
ealyjttu globulv- were lottnd. Scarcely
any natives were seen, though there were
frequent signs of their being about. Mi.
Smithurst refers to a very remarkable
bird, w hich, so far as wc know, has not
hitherto been described. The natives
state that it can fly away with a dugong,
a kangaroo or a large turtle. Mr. Smith
urst states he saw and shot at a specimen
of this wonderful animal, and that "the
noise caused by the flapping of wings re
sembled the sound of a locomotive pulling
a long train very slowly." He states
that " it apjearcd to le alout sixteen or
eighicen feet across the wings as it flew,
the body dark brown, the bresust white,
neck long and beak long and straight."
In the stiff clay of the river bank Mr.
Smithurst states that he saw the footprints
or some large animal, which he " look to
be a lmffalo or wild ox," but he saw no
other traces of the animal. These state
ments are very wonderful and In-fore giv

Renovating Black Dresses.
Ik fashion is gradually - introducing
more of color into the twilct, still no ward
robe is coClpktc without at least one
black dress, nnd then the number of those
who wear mourning creates for it con
stantly a sfeady demand. lis unfailing
lopularUv is proved by the fact that the
pric of "black goods do not decline pro
portionally with others, merchants saying
that their Bale is always sure. Hut al
though a neat black dress is thus service
able, and its wearer sure of being appro
priately, if not handsomely, dressed in
any company in which she maj- appear,
yet no dress is more susceptible of im
provement from constant and intelligent
care, and it docs seem s if a shabby, ill
kept suit of black Was one degree mord
shabby than any other. No lady should
ever don her alpaca, cashmere or serge
without giving it a thorough dusting with
broom or brash. Dust jermitted to set
tle in the folds of pleat or shirring will
soon lc imfiossiblc to remove entirely, and
give the whole gown that untidy air so
much to te deprecated in everything per
taining to a lady's iterson.
Hut after constant use for months, or
mayle a year, the most carefully-kept
black dress will begin to show the effects
of use in a certain rustiness of hue and
general dinginess of aspect, if in no
place actually rubbed or worn. Now is
the time to expend a little skill and in

fect and thorough one, take the body and
sleeved apart aud to pieces; rip oil" the
trimming from skirt and over skirt.
IJrusli off all loose dust first, and then,
with a sponge dipped in the soap-bark
decoction, wipe over each piece thorough
ly, folding up as you proceed. Have ready
a lady's skirt-board for presiing and well
hcatcd irons. Smooth every piece on
the wrong side, including even silk
trimmings; and when you have once
more put it together you will Ik;
amazed to see the results of the simple
process. One advantage of taking the
whole dress apart is that, by putting the
trimmings on in some style a little differ
ent from what it was at first, the attrac
tion of novelty is added to make the effect
more pleasing. H one has not time,
however, to go through the whole process,
a dress may be greatly improved by be
ing wiped over with this mixture, and
pressed on the wrong side while damp
indeed, for a time, it will look quite as
good as new. The process may Ik; re
peated from time to time as shall seem
advisable. I have seen a cashmere, which
had Itccn worn two whole winters, taken
apart and treated in this way, and the
closest observer would have supposed the
dress to have been put on for the first
time, such was its soft, fresh look, and the
vividness of its black. Grenadine may be
submitted to the same sort of cleaning
w ith fine results.
When a black lawn has liecomc limp,
tumbled and generally forlorn-looking,
the best mode of treatment to subject it to
is, first a submersion in a pan of warm
water colored highly with iunigo; then
exposure to the air until just dampness
enough is left to enableoue to press it to
advantage with a hot iron, and if this is
carefully done, always on the wrong side,
the lawn w ill come forth quite fresh, stiff
and renovated from its blue bath, and
again do good service for another while.
Every particle of dust should be re
moved from a black silk or poplia every
time it is worn, for nothing cuts either
nut so soon as these often imperceptible
little gritty motes w ith which the air of a
city is filled where coal is in such univer
sal use. Harper' Iiizar.
Old Maids.
Soonek or later everybody has h fling
at old maids, either to say a word for
them or a good uiivny against them; and
us yet wo believe we have not said any
thing about them.
Hut reading, yesterday, an article in a
newspaper, with the well-known heading,
" OKI Maids," we have been hd to think
that it was alnrnt time we, too, should
" put in our oar."
ThU paragraph occurred in the article
in question :
"Nine out of every ten old maids arc
sour-tempered, gossip', scolding, meddle
some old women, with big feet, and
scrawny necks, and they are the pests of
the neighborhoml."
Now, we don't believe any such thing!
We'll stake our reputation as a genuine
Yankee, good at guessing, that the writer
of that article is a crusty old bachelor,
who, in his youth, was snubled and jilt
ed by all the girls he sought to make love
to, and it is more than likclv that some of
those very-same girls are old maids now,
and he has lately met one of them and
tried his fate over again with the same un
flattering result.
Story writers always describe their old
maids as tall, thin and angular, with
sharp noses, corkscrew curls and the
neuralgia.
Now, we know lots of old maids, and
nearly every one of them is plump in
stead of lean, and not one of - them
wears corkscrew curls. Some of them
are, without exception, the best women
we ever knew.
The majority of old maids are not un
married because nobody has " asked
them," for we do not believe that there is
a woman living who has reached the age
of thirty without having had an offer.
Old maids are, generally sneaking.
girls who in their youth were belles and
beauties and who set a high value on
themselves too high to accept the pro
posals of common men and so they have,
to use an old expression, "gone through
the woods without picking up a stick,
for the sole reason that they were afraid
of picking up a crooked one.
A girl who holds herself too high to
stoop to wed where she can . neither love
nor respect is rery likely to le an old
maid. Age does not make her any the
less particular, and as she goes along her
life journey she sees, perhaps, those w ho
were girls with her unhappily wedded to
husbands who are unkind or dissipated or
careless or unfaithful,- and she is strength
ened by the sight to go on her way alone.
And though we believe that marriage is
a divine institution, ordained of dod and
blessed by Him, and though we believe
that it is far better to marry than to be
single, yet a woman had better a thousand
times le an old maid than to marry a man
whom she cannot love and for whom she
feels no sentiment of respect.
Frequently, circumstances from which
there is no escape prevent girls from m;tr
rying. Aged relatives whose waning and
broken lives need the fostering and gentle
care of a daughter may stand between
her and happiness, and with a self-sacrifice
that costs her only Heaven knows
how much she may yield up the love for
which her heart cries dumbly on the altar
of filial duty and stamp herself with the
dresvded stigma of old maid.
Again, death may have taken from her
the chosen of her heart, and her nature
may be too loyal and true to admit of her
enshrining another in the place of the
first love.
Or she may never have met one w ho
has called forth the strongest and deepest
feelings of her nature, and she may be
wise enough to know that marriage is
never w hat God designed it should be un
less it le entered into by
Two rontawith but a bid-Io thought
Two hearts that beat as one.
Old maids upon the whole are a blessing
to the world. They take care of sick
sisters and brothers, they make the clothes
for little nieces and nephews, they cause
Sabbath-schools to flourish, they help to
bind churches together, they beg for the
minister and get up album-quilts for his
wife, they are death on rum-drinking,
they are on the side of good morals every
where, and society would find it a difficult
thing to get along properly without them,
t Long may they flourish! Kate lorn,
in New York Weekly.
X Savannah (Ga.) girl persistently re
f wes to marry because she fears that she
would faint away at the altar. If she
ever does marry you just see if she doesn't
get over that angelic noodleism the first
time she is refused a new bonnet. -

The Situation and the Outlook.
We cannot claim that the present con
dition or the outlook for farmers is espe
cially bright, yet compared w ith the con
dition of the manufacturers and mer
chants of the country, or with their own
condition at corresjionding time in any
one of five years, the larmers of the coun
try as a whole have no reason to complain.
The aggregate farm products of the coun
try in 1S75 were very large and the money
received for them as a whole w ill also be
large. Some crops are now low in price,
hut some, notably logs, are high. There
is a good prospect for a considerable ad
vance in wheat, although this will not
proljcbly come stwin. Debts weigh heav
ily on many farmers. The "limes" are
dull. The question of the currency re
mains unsettled, and there is consequent
uncertainty as to future nominal values.
Hut, admitting all that is unfavorable,
it is still true that for a man of compara
tively limiied means there are to-day few,
if any, investments more secure than a
good farm. It is tatter than most city real
estate; tatter than most manufacturing
interests; more 6ccure than money in
vested in ordinary merchandise; vastly
more safe than most speculative invest
ments. What are the lessons for the 3'ear? 01
viously one prominent one is that of cau
tion. This is not it time for rasb or vent
uresome experiments ; not a time for in
curring additional indebtedness; especially
is it not a time to risk all on anyone crop.
It is never safe " to put all the eggs in
one basket;" and this is especially true at
such a time as this. It is a time for wise
economy; for paying olf indebtedness as
rapidly sis jKssible. He w ho has com
paratively little, yet is free from debt, is
much more secure and in a better position
than he who has much more projeity
" ornamented w ith mortgages."
The wise farmer will distinguish be
tween economy and parsimony. He
will not refuse to make a small expendi
ture to secure a large return. He will not
use poor seed corn because fifty cents a
bushel over market price is asked for that
which Is good; will not refuse to improve
his stock because this will cost something;
will not. refuse good care and sufficient
food, nor neglect to repair his fences and
patch the leaky roof, because these tilings
cost something in time and money, lie
will not refuse to expend three or four
cents a week for an agricultural pajer
which will help him more intelligently
to conduct his work and help him to de
cide when and how to dispose of his crops.
Each farmer has duties as a citizen, fie
must not neglect these. With voice aud
vote he should work to secure reforms in
town, county, State and National Govern
ment; to prevent frauds, extravagance,
unwise or excessive legislation. . Along
side of these he must keep in mind his
personal duties; to reduce the gcntral in
debtedness by reducing his own ; to help
bring down too high rates of interest by
refusing to borrow money unless for some
essential; to help the general prosperity
by endeavoring to so conduct his f arming
operations that he may best prosjer: to
help restore activity, and general industry
and hopefulness, by working faithfully
himself, employing all the latar he can
make profitable, and thus manifesting his
own faith in the future.
This is not the time nor place for par
ticular "directions. Generally speaking.
Western farmers should work inthedirec
tion of producing more of the condensed
products, rather than relj'ing on grain for
export; in the direction of these branches
. agriculture which give opKrtuuity for
considerable labor. Except when there
may be danger of w ide-spread disaster, as
by grasshoppers, as a rule it will be best
for them to promptly make sales when
their crops are ready for market, rather
than to enter the field of speculation. Es
pecially for those who have but little
wealth" attention to their legitimate busi
ness will ta w iser than attempts to add
to their profits by engaging in trade, man
ufacture or commerce. Western Rural,

The Onion Family.
. There are a good many memtars of
that respectable family so celebrated for
fragrance we mean the onion trita.
Some of them, of course, arc well known
and appreciated, as they are very likely to
be; for they have a peculiar way ol at
tracting attention, though they may be too
modest to speak for themselves. Others
are not as popular, though perhaps not
unworthy of a passing notice.
The lwk in many countries is quite ex
tensively grown. In America it is found
in the markets of our large cities, and in
some particular sections, but generally in
the country, is almost unknown. The leek
is very hardy, bearing .a good aeal of
freezing when in the ground without any
injury, and therefore in climates not too
severe is allowed to remain in the ground
during the winter, to bo gathered as need
ed. This, of course, makes it very de
sirable for many localities. In very cold
climates it is taken op before w inter and
preserved in earth,, about like celery,
though not needing so much protection.
The leek forms no bulb, and the thick
stem, which is the part used, must be
blanched by earthing up. The leek is
prized for soups, and is often boiled and
served as asparagus. Culture as for com
mon onions.
Chives is a small and not very impor
tant member of the onion tribe, quite
hardy everywhere, and will grow for
year from the same bulbs aud in the
same spot. In old times it was the cus
tom to make a little border of chives
among the herbs. The leaves are as slen
der as fine knitting-needles and appear
in bunches .early in Uio rpring and arc
cut and used In the raw state aHd may b
shorn several times during the spring. It
is pro'p;aed l'y divisions of the root.
Shaitots are somewhat similar to chives,
but larger and tatter; the robts tains
quite hardy, they are kept in the grounu
during the winter and in the spring one
bulb will separate into half-a-dozen or
more. They are then taken up, divided
and taught and sold as young onions.
The ("ballot ripens about the middle of
Summer and can then ta taken up to be
planted in the autumn or retained for
winter use. r?oni(! people prize ballot
for pickling. If planted In the spring
they do well, but are not ready for ust' rti
early as if set out in the fall.
The most pungent of all the family is
the garlic. It seems as if the essence of a
whole bushel of onions was concentrated
in one of its little bulbs. The root or
bulb is composed of a dozen small bulbs
culletl "cloves." Garlic. Is much Used in
the south of Europe, and the American
traveler at first gel the Idea that every
thing he cats and drinks has Ik-cii flavored
with it. The little cloves arc planted in
the spring six or eight inches apart, and
in August the tips will die when the bulbs
are ready to gather. They do best in a
light, rich soil. Vick's floral Guide.

Thousands of human being arc yearly
borne on the swift current of rlisensc down
to the trrave. lust because tlie'v do not fios-
bcss a eutlieieut knowledge ofthemselves. A
man meets bis neighbor and tin- first saluta
tion is: " How are you?" or "How is vmir
healthy" The reply frequently is: "Oh, I
am well, with the exception of a cold."
Most persons lightly regard a cold. Iteader,
do )'tU know that a cold is one of the most
dangerous of maladies? A cold not only
f logs up the pores of the entire pystern, fltid
retards circulation, but It is productive of
Catarrh, which is quite apt to lead to Con
sumption. "Oh," you say, "it is nothing
but a fold in mv head." True: but that told
is really a mild" form of Catarrh, and if not
arresteil in its course become chronic.
Catarrh is one of the most disagreeable,
oH'cnsive affections in the catalogue of
diseases. The passage to the. nose is ob
structed, the sense of smell impaired, and
there is a disagreeable sensation of pressure
In the head. In the more advanced stages
there Is a discharge having an offensive
odor. If the disease be allowed to continue
in its course, thick, hard incrustations will
form in the head, the bones of which some
times become softened and break away in
pieces. Why will persons continue to suffer
from such an annoying, disgusting disease
when they can just as well be cured of it?
Dr. Sage Catarrh Remedy will cure the
worst forms of Catarrh; In fact, it Is the only
sure and safe remedy which has yet been
offered to the public. Many harsh, irritating
preparations may, for a time, relieve the
urgency of the symptoms, but they do hot
cure the disease." Dr. Sage's Catarrh Rem

The success attending the use of
nickel as a plating material has prompted
c.M-riments in the use of other metals for
a like purpose. The lalest of these is that
reported by Ilciirand, who has succeeded
in producing a galvanic deposit of bis
muth on the surface of other metals. The
process may be described as follows:
From twenty-five to thirty-five grains of
the double chloride of bismuth and am
monia are dissolved in about one quart of
water, and this solution is used cold, by
the usual methods, a sintrle Dunsen pile
being employed. On coming out of the
bidh the coated surface is covered with a
dark-li Hiking ?Iinie, beneath which the
metallic luster of the bismuth is visible.
This latter adheres very closely, and takes
a line polish, the color lieing intermediate
between antimony and fcilvcr. Scientific
