AsnmmxHAM, Mass., Jan. 14,1880.
I have bet 11 very sick over two vears.
They all gave me up as past cure. I
tried the most skillful phvsiciana, but
they did not reach the worst part. The
lungs and heart would fill up every
night and d is trees me, and ray throat
was very bad. I told my children I
never should die in peace until I had
tried Hop They Bitters. I have taken two
bottles. have helped me very
much indeed. I shall take two more:
by that time I shall be well. There
was a lot of sick toli- 3 here who have
seen how they helped me, and they
usee! them and are cured, and fee 1 as
thankful as I do that there is so valu¬
able a medicine made. Yours,

I have heretofore been bitterly op

fifty-six y.'ars old, had come by de¬
grees to a slow sundown. Doctors
failed to benefit her. I got a bottle of
Hop Bitters for her, which soon re¬
lieved her in many ways. My kidneys
were badly affected, and I took twenty
or thereabouts doses, and found much
relief. I sent to Galveston for more, and
word came back none in the market, so
great is the demand; hut I got some

One gave me seven ounces of solution of

Women and children are employed in

The London World made the startling
discovery fashionable that kleptomania was com¬

could not have been inadvert ant, seeing
that shawls expensive and other overcoats, costly lace

Time is now supplied to street clocks,
public offices, hotels and private dwel¬
lings in Paris, like gas or water, from a
central station, by means of compressed
air conveyed through underground
pipes. At the central station there is a
reservoir of compressed air, and fen the
first twenty seconds of every minute, an
given by a standard timepiece, a current
of the compressed air is allowed to flow
through the pipes to the receiving
clocks. By means of a small bellows,
whie h is expanded by the clocks transmitted kept
air, the works of these are
going at a practical uniform rate. The
street mains in are diameter, of wrought iron, these about
1 1-16 inch and are
connected to service pipes of lead 1.5.inch
in diameter, while tlie different stories
of a building are supplied by rubber
tubes one-eight inch in diameter. Any
number of clocks can be actuated in this
way within a radius of two miles from
the central station.
Professor Forbes, of Illinois, gives it
as his opinion that at least two-t birds of
food of birds consist of insects, aver¬
at the lowest reasonable estimate
insects per day for each individ¬
of this two-thirds, giving a total for

State. This number placed one to each
inch of surface would cover an
of 40,000 acres. In connection with
these figures the following estimates by
Mr. H. D. Minot, one of the Boston
naturalists, Massachusetts are interesting. alone He states
that in there are
annually destroyed not less than 50,000
partridges. 30,000 woodcock, 15,000 quail
and 5,000 snipe, or 160,000 came birds
while in the same State 250,000 wild
birds (counting their eggs) are placed
hors du combat. Mr, Minot places the
number of birds annually destroyed in
the United States at 1,000,000,000 roughly
estimated. According to the American.
Naturalist a young mocking-bird, raised
from the nest, has been known to eat
240 red-legged grasshoppers in a day,
equivalent to at least 480 average in
a;. -f.3.
The Massachusetts board of health
reports that adulterations of staple public gro¬
ceries are not as common as the
have been led to suppose. For the pur¬
pose of test, the expert of the board
took samples of flour, sugar, bread,soda,
cream of tartar, and baking powders,
obtained in stores in forty cities all and
towns. The flour was found in in¬
stances to be wholly and, free with from all
foreign ception of substances, varieties the ex¬ of

ccptible in that article; and in these
isolated cases there w r as reason for

had not been properly purified of the
crude soda ash, but this sulphate is not
injurious to health. Baking powders
were found to be pure in twenty-four
instances out of Unity-three. The
adulteration consisted in an excess of
flour or starch over that needed lor mix¬
ing the soda and cream of tartar. There
was also some alum found. In cream of
tartar a considerable amount of adul¬
teration was detected.
A Trade Dollar Counterfeit.
American counterfeiters are being

secret oervice recently received a trade

solder, plate on and each the side, the cavity filled with
edges bound with a rim

The Hessian Fly is the most trouble
some upon the early sown wheat, but it
makes smaller growth before winter sets
in, and so far a3 that goes it is a dis¬
advantage well to grow late, excepting on
prepared land. A farmer of our
acquaintance (in the State of New York)
for many years sowed hi3 wheat the first
week in October, and his average yield
has been over forty bushels per acre. He
was first led to practice late sowing to
avoid the ravishes of the Hessian fly,
but the practice proved so satisfactory
that it was continued after the fly had
dition, disappeared. His land was in high con¬
and a top-dressing of fine manure
was good applied to give the young plants a
start. It may be better to sow
late if a thorough preparation of the soil
is thereby secured.
Water Furrows.—-I f the land is not
well drained, when all else is done in
the wheat field, make the necessary fur¬
rows with the plow, for carrying off the
surface water during heavy rains.
Seeding to Grass.—G rass seed may
be sown a few weeks after the grain.
retard Thrifty growing timothy will frequently
early the growth the of the grain if sown
as as wheat crop, and clover
seed is best sown in the spring after or
with the last snow.
Turnips should be kept free from
weeds and the soil loose and mellow.
Proper thinning is important; a single
root needs from nine to fifteen inches in
the row to grow to its best. On rich
lands white turnips may still be sown
and good crop expected.
Beans are injured by heavy grains;
when ready puli them and stack around
the poles driven in the ground; cover
tho stacks with straw. In pulling leave
them in rows for a time to cure, and if
rain threatens they can be gathered
quickly in stacks.
Shocking is an important matter and
should be done with care. If the stalks
are not well set up and properly tied,
the shocks fall in all directions and the
husking made more difficult. Bands of
rye straw, or even of willow,.may be
used with advantage.
Potatoes.— Early ones should be dug
at once; rains will otherwise start them
inio growth and do much injury. The
last brood of bugs should be destroyed,
as it is these that furnish the early brood
next season. It is a good plan to sorb
saving the_ potatoes much as labor they in are handling gathered, thus
atterward. them
Sf.ep.—A fter the roots have been re¬
from the field, the sheep should
turned in that they may pick up the
imperfect roots and the scattered
This will accustom them to the
of food that must soon come. If
lambs are not desired, the rams
must be kept from the ewes, or other¬
wise be aproned or “ bratted.” It is an
important matter that the ewe 3 that
to bear lambs should be well fed,
little begin the winter in good condition.
A grain fed to the ewes now will
do much to insure strong lambs.
Cows that are giving milk should be
fed liberally, and not allowed to fall off
again now, when as they cold cannot be brought ini up
weather sets Some
kind of feed, as bran or meal, should be
used to help out the failing pastures
Corn fodder is excellent to piece out
with at this season, and a patch of it
should be found ou every farm. It is
of important that the cows have a plenty
good, fresh water, especially as the
dant herbage juices does not now afford the abun¬
of the springgrowth.
Clover Seed.— The second crop of
clover seed can be cut with the ordi¬
nary reaper. Some prefer to attach a
snort frame of strips of wood covered
mowing with, cloth machine, to the the cutting clever bar being of the
ered the cloth and raked gath¬ '
upon off. The
straw and chaff are useless for hay, and
need not be preserved from the weather.
They may be used for litter in the barn¬
yard or stable.
Machinery.—H arvesting and other
farm machinery that is to be used no
more for this season should be cleaned
and stored away. The bright parts may
be kept from rusting by applying a mix¬
ture made by melting together one
pound of fresh lari and a lump of resin
the size of a hen’s egg, stirring as they
cool. The bearings should be well
wiped, and afterward given a tula coat
of castor-oil.

FASTEST M ILE O N RECORD.
now St. JnJien Trotted a Mile at Uar
,ord i„ a ll 1 - 1 .
We give below an account of the re
ma rkable performance °f the wonderfu.
trotter , St. Julien, at Hartford, where
he trotted a mile in 2 :lli. thus beating
j t i s Rochester record by half a second:
_^.t about four o’clock St. Julien ap
driven by Mr. Hickok. Presi
c ]ent Alexander Harison announced
/rom the judge’s stand, “St. Julien
against time.” A slight ripple of ap
plauae greeted St. Julien. Mr. Hickok
jogged him up from the lower distance
stand, and nodded for the word. This
was only to warm the horse for the
secon q atten pt. St. Julien trotted
aroUE( j on a i g usual steady gait without
a break. When the time was announced
aS 2:2i there arose a slight outburst of
Laughter. Fifty minutes later Hickok

j Q ggi n g easily past the stand the he turned
about a furlong down stretch, and
came up for a start. The movement lie of
st. Julien did not suit him, so went
by without nodding for the word. Re
turning to the same starting point, St.
.Julien came up at a fast gait, and
Hickok nodded for the word. The word
W as given, and away went the horse on
a m ;[ e that will become historical. A
thousand watches were held on the

Half with thousands of eyes watching
his lightning broke. Leaving steps, which never faltered
r r the half-mile pole
behind in 1:05, St. Julien reached the
three-quarter cole in 1:3 5 L Horsemen
now saw that there was a strong prob
ability that he would beat the Rochester
record of 2:11|. With quickened eyes
they watched every stride. When St.
Julien turned for the straight finish on
the last quarter a large scraper, with a
brush behind it, drawn by two horses,
came toward him on the outer side of
the track. The sight of the scraper
seemed to lessen the speed of the horse
slightly as he passed it. He came on at
a fast step, however, when another
danger threatened him. Somebody had
dropped, dent, half either purposely or by acci
a dozen white sheets of, paper
on the track, close to the inner rail,
within fifty yards of the finish. Turf
men who saw the paper wondered
whether the horse would shy and break
in his tremendous effort. When he
passed the point he swerved and stag
gered slightly. Hickok steadied him,
however, and, bearing half way over
St. Julien’s back, shook him up, rattled
the lines, and encouraged the game
horse to finish his great trot
against time. When he rushed under
the wire the thousand watches were
stopped, and the great crowd pushed
forward to the judges’ stand. One
glance at the judges showed that old
Time had been beaten again. They
were shaking hands, throwing up their
arms in delight and making other joy
ous demonstrations. Then a roar began
to rise from the ten thousand watching
for official time. President Har bison
stepped to the front of the stand and,
looking below him, down upon the mass of people
announced in a clear, loud
voice:
“Gentlemen—St. Julien wins the heat
and the race against time.”
The board was then displayed, show
ing St. Julien 2:11%. The best record
had been beaten by half a second and
half a second amounts to a great deal in
a trot. A scene of wild and repeated
cheering When followed.
the tumult had subsided. Pres
ident Harbison made a little speech. Fie
said that “ the terms upon which Mr.
Hickok had agreed to‘trot St. Julien
against the record were $2,500, but after
their sore disappointment and the grand
performance Would o; St. Julien, the associa
tion present Mr. Hickok with an
additional $500.” Another storm of ap
plause followed this announcement.
The official time as given bv the
judges was: Quarter, 32|; half, 1:05: Mr.*
John three-quarters, H. 1:38|; mile, 2:1 1%.
Turner, the experienced horse
man from Philadelphia, timed St. Julien
in the reporters’ stand. His time tallied
with the judges’. Many other careful
timers conceded that the difference, if
any, was too slight to affect’the record,

Less than three years after the famous
Black sea storm there appeared in an
American paper a formal proposal for
the establishment of a system of daily
weather reports by telegraph, and the
i transmission of storm warnings to the
seaports of the American lakes and the
seaboard.
General Myer established a series of
signal . stations, extending from the
thence Mississippi .to the Gulf of Mexico, and
northward and eastward, both
inland and on the coast, taking in the
gneat lakes and the. highest mountain
peaks. At each station he placed care
tal observers whom he had himself se
leeted. .These persons were regularly
enlisted in the army as sergeants, and
the code which he selected for their
guidance has proved thus far a bar to
carelessness and incompetency .—New

court. a European meets the king’s
polanqnin in the streets of the city he is

hesitation to comply with this degrad

entailed very serious consequences on

been considerably intensified at differ
times, owing to the insistance of the
lord chamberlain at Ava or Mandalay
that our envoy should take his boots off,
and the reluctance of our proud and
diffident representatives to appear in
public in their stockings. by The British,
however, are not any means the only
people whose feelings have been hurt by
this well unpleasant discourtesy; and Asiatic,

A Romantic Story,
Loring, the Boston bookseller, teiis a
very romantic story as follows: “At
one time I had prepared boxes of fancy
paper with a fancy initial or pet name
embossed in it, and put this up at one
dollar a box, and advertised it widely,
One day I had an order from California
from a Miss Susie -. The box was
done up, addressed toiler and lay about
here, when a young Englishman came
in and wanted to write a letter. 1 gave
him the material and a place, when his
eye eaagflt the address on this box.
“ ‘ Have you the order asked. that came for
that ^ box of paper?’ he
“ ‘ Yes,’ I replied, ‘ ’tis about some¬
where.’
‘ ‘ ‘Would you mind sending it up to
my hotel? If it is what I think, I suall
leave for California to-night.’
“ I found it and sent it around and
heard no more about it for perhaps three
months, when one day the young man,
with a lady on his arm walked in.
‘ Mr. Loring, I want to present you to
my wife, he said. ‘ We could not leave
this country till we had thanked you
for your part iu bringing us together.’
The denouement was quite a romance.
The young man was the son of an
aristocratic family and the girl the
daughter levels of the gardener. But love
all distinctions, and the young
man felt this girl to be- the chosen com¬
panion of his life. To break off the at¬
tachment his father had sen 1 , him to the
continent and dispatched the gardener
and his pretty daughter to America,
where the young man had followed
them, ignorant of their address, and at
last finding it through the chance of a
box of paper.”
About Lying.
“ Where were you when the first shot
was fired ?” asked a Galveston lawyer.
“ I was lying down on the sofa.”
“ Where was your husband?”
“ He was lying dowp. on the gallery.”
“And your children—where were
they?”
fast “ They asleep.” were lying down on the bed,
“ Any other member of your family
lying down?”
“ Well, if my brother-in-law was here
I expect he would by lying down in the
court-house. He is a lawyer, unless he
has reformed recently.”
Good, honest, faithful work, steadily
persevered in, seconded by good habits,
never yet went long unrewarded.
