IT SEEMS BUT YESTERDAY.
Dear love, it seems but yesterday
Tiat you were by my side.
When down along the orchard way
We wooed and laughed and sighed;
The birds are singing In the trees,
The clover's breath is sweet,
And far across the mossy leas
I hear yonr pat'rlng feet.
Though seas divide the loving hearts
That beat so fond and true,
There Is a love that ne'er departs,
But always leans on you;
It seems but one brief sunny day,
I cannot call It more.
Since you were standing on the quay
To see me leave the shore.
I'll come again, ere roses fade.
And meet you at the gate.
For I remember that you Bald
You'd watch for me and wait.
Although 'tis years since last we met,
It seems but yesterday ;
And, darling, I cannot forget
The words yon had to say.

DEW.
Mr. George Dines, who has made ex
tensive experiments and observations on
the formation of dew, finds that the depth
of deposit in England in an evening
rarely exceeds a hundredth part of an
inch, and that the average annual depth
of the dew deposit upon the surface of
the earth does not exceed an inch and a
half.
TO STKAIGHTEN WABPED WOODS.
Of all the trials and vexations that be
set the beginner there are none more an
noying than the tendency of wood to
warp. He sends to his dealer for a small
assortment of fine woods, and expects to
receive them perfectly true and flat. Per
haps the woods are flat when they leave
the dealer, but in transit they are very
likely to twist out of shape, reaching
their destination badly warped. The ex
pressman may not be aware of the subtle
nature of these woods, and in not a very
gentle manner lays the package on a
cold, damp -floor. The dry wood sucks in
the moisture on one side, swells and
curls. It should not be a difficult mat
ter to cure this. If the wood is in a large
piece the convex or hollow side should
be steamed or moistened a little and then
laid upon a dry floor, holding it down
witn a smooth, flat board upon which
weights are placed. When quite dry it
will be lound to have regained its origi
nal shape. If the wood is in small pieces
it can be easily straightened by gently
steaming the convexed side over a
teakettle and then holding the other side
toward the heat until it becomes straight,
when it can be left in a press or under
weights for a few hours. Almost any
warped woods will yield under this treat
ment. Leff ells' News.
DISEASE IK SEWEBS.
In every house there is of this refuse
material a large amount. On washing
day many gallons, often barrels, of water
in which our clothing has been washed,
and containing the filth that the skin has
thrown off during the week, must be dis
posed of. All through the week more or
less dishwater and dirty water from vari
ous sources accumulates. As a rule it is
thrown into a drain which is, perhaps,
covered only with a board, and carried
only a few feet away, when it soaks into
the soil or spreads out on the ground
and evaporates into the air. If the soil
is pervious it may leak into it and some
of it eventually find its way into the well.
In the course of a short time these slops
fill the soil full, a sort of fermentation
takes place, and as the air is more or less
excluded, most poisonous gases are de
generated. It is now positively known
that many diseases have their origin in
breathing these gases. It does not fol
low that they always cause disease, be
cause the germs may not always be pres
ent, but they frequently do. Diphthe
ria, that scourge of both city and coun
try, has been traced time and again in
the city to sewer gas passing into the
house. In the country, where less at
tention is given to the cause of disease,
the drain for slops is not always recog
nized as the source of diphtheria, but in
very many cases it has been proved to be
so beyond the slightest doubt. Herald

SPECIFIC AGAINST HTDBOPHOBIA.
The British-American Journal has
the following in connection with the
dread disease, hydrophobia, and its suc
cessful treatment: "Dr. Grzyvala, of
Krivoe Ozeroe, Podolia, for whose trust
worthiness Professor Gubler, of Paris,
vouches, declares that after a series of
crucial trials, which he describes at
length, he has found that, after having
had opportunities of treating at least one
hundred cases of men bitten by rabid
dogs, with the Xanthium Spinosum, he
has never in any one of these cases failed
to ward off hydrophobia. He gives some
startling examples. During the Crimean
war a family of twelve persons had. been
bitten by a hydrophobic wolf. Six of
them entered his wards in the Hospital
of Olschanka, government of Podolia,
district of Balta. They were treated
with infusion of the leaves of the
xanthium, and all recovered. The six
others, who were treated by the actual
cautery and the daily use of genesta
tinctoria and other drugs, died with
hydrophobia in the course of twelve to
sixty days. He recounts many other
facts not less striking. For an adult,
the dose is sixty contigrammes of the
dry powder, repeated three times a day,
and continued during six weeks. Chil
dren under twelve take half that quan
tity. The dose for animals is much
larger. A herd of thirty oxen had been
bitten by a mad wolf; eight had suc
cumbed with symptoms of hydrophobia.
The Commissary of Police came to Dr.
Grzyvala for his 'antirabic powder.'
He gave three ounces of the powder,
with bran, daily to each of the remaining
animals; none of them suffered from the
disease. These are examples of which
Dr. Grzyvala says he has a hundred
others."
THE GENESIS OF THE MOSQUITO.
A physician corresponding with the
Scientific American says: " For sev
eral years past I have noticed in warm
weather that my wooden cistern, which
is above ground, has been infested with
peculiar looking little red worms. I
have heard many others like myself com
plain of these worms, and I had taken it
for granted that they were a species of
earth worm. However, last summer I
procured a glass jar and sprinkled the
bottom of it with a very small quantity
of sand and clay. I then half filled the
jar with clear fresh water, and after put
ting a dozen of these worms in the jar I
tied a piece of cloth over the mouth and
placed it in a light, airy place. The
worms were from half to three-fourths of
an inch in length, of a bright red color,
and had rather a jointed appearance
about the body. They would crawl on
the bottom of the jar, swim through the
water by a rapid bending of the body
backward and forward, and occasionally
come up to the surface of the water and
float. Within twenty-four hours after
placing them in the jar I noticed that
they had all gone down to the bottom of
the vessel and had enveloped themselves
separately in a kind of temporary shell
made of earth and sand. In a few days
after this I saw one of these worms crawl
out of his temporary house at the bottom
of the jar and swim to the surface of the
water. Here, after twisting about for a
few seconds, he ruptured a thin mem
brane that onveloped his body, and
came out a full-fledged mosquito ready
for business. I noticed many of the
other worms going through the same
performance within a short while after
ward, tsome of the mosquitoes were
much larger than others, but, as I have
already stated, some of the worms were
also larger than others.
REMEDIES FOB CABPET BEETLES, MOTHS, AC
Francis Gregory Sanborn, Consulting
.naturalist, writes to the scientific Amer
tcan m regard to the pest of all house
keepers: " At this season we are fre
quently besieged by inquiries in rela
tion to the ' carpet beetle,' moth, etc
Many of our readers may be glad to
know of the following simple remedies "
First Steep one quarter of a pound of
Cayenne pepper m a gallon of water
add two drachms of strychnia powder
Strain and pour this tea into a shallow
vessel, such as a large tinned iron milk
pan. Before unrolling a new carpet set
the roll on each end alternately in this
poisoned tea for ten minutes, or long
enough to secure the saturation of its
edges for at least an inch. After beating
an old carpet, roll and treat all its seams
and edges to the same bath. Let the car
pet dry thoroughly before tacking it to
the floor, m order to avoid the acci
dental poisoning of the tacker's fingers
by the liquid. It is perhaps unnecessary
to state that the residue of the liquid
should be thrown out where it will not
be drunk by any domestic animal, or if
preserved for future use, carefully
labelled "poison." This preparation
will not stain or disfigure carpets nor
corrode metals in contact with the carpet
as will most preparations of corrosive
sublimate.
Second One pound of quassia chips
one quarter of a pound of Cayenne pep
per, steeped in two gallons of water
Strain and use as above. This prepare
tion, although irritating to the human
skin, especially on cut surfaces, has the
advantage of not being poisonous. To
either of these teas from one quarter to
one-half more boilinfr water mav be
added at the time of first using, if greater
depth of the liquid m the vessel be re
quired. When it is desirable to treat
carpets that are not to be taken up.
either of the above preparations may be
applied by means of any of the common
atomizers to every seam and margin with
good results, although a second, and
even third, application may be needed
Dairy Buildings.
At the Pennsylvania dairymen's meet
Ing this year, Professor E. W.Stewart de
livered an address upon " Dairy Build
ings and their Management." He said,
in me iiuure only skin could win ; that
dairy product had now reached such
low point in price, that only the best
article could pay a profit on the cost of
production. That it was now iniDera
tively necessary that the dairyman should
manage his business in the most econo
mical way that he must suffer no wastes
uy eipuuiug uidcowb in coia stames, or,
worse, to tne open air. which would re
quire the consumption of so much extra
food and necessarv reduce the milk pro-
J if rw i "
auction. tie snowed now easily and
cheaply the dairyman could raise up his
barn and place under it a concrete wall
making a warm basement for stabling his
daily f-tock, where the consumption of
food to keep the animal warm would be
reduced to a minimum. He showed how
important it is to avoid nervous excite
ment in much cows ; that they should be
watered in the stable where thev could
not be molested. He gave an illustrative
plan of the manner of watering in the
stable, and then showed the economy of
giving water at ou degrees temperature,
instead of from a trough in the open air
at a temperature of 32 to 34 degrees. He
said that it required food to warm this
water in the stomach of the cow, which
is all saved by watering cows in a warm
stable. He dwelt at some length upon
the cheapest and best form of barn,
which he thought to be either square or
octagonal. In such a structure the amount
of lumber and labor would be much less
than in a building of ordinary form, and
the octagonal form would be much more
compact and convenient, requiring no in
terior posts or beams, which obstruct
labor. He also described his mode of
tying, which is simple and cheap, giving
the cow great freedom, and at the same
time holding her in the center of her
place, so that she cannot annov her
neighbors. His self-clensing stable or
platform on which cows keep perfectly
clean, saving all the labor of clensing the
stable, excited much interest.
llow Food Nourishes Us.
Taking food into the stomach is only a
preliminary process. There it is mixed
with a peculiar fluid which oozes from
the inner walls of that organ, which is a
powerful solvent. Meats or vegetables
are quickly melted down, as it were, the
product appearing within about an hour
as a grayish pultaceous mess. Next it
passes from the stomach (on the right
side just under the ribs) into a mem
braneous tube, which is thickly studded
with glands, each pouring out a fluid pe
culiar to itself, to combine with the on
ward moving ingest. Bile from the liver
is added, and then a bland secretion from
the pancreas, or sweet-bread, which alone
of all others in the system dissolves but
ter, oils and lard, converting them into
an emulsion. Millions of tubes, smaller
than hairs open within the tube, sucking
up the milky fluid chyle the product
of the food and the admixtures since it
has arrived at the stomach. Then" it is
conveyed by the distal extremities of the
lymphatics (the small tubes above men
tioned) into a tube the size of a wheat
straw. Once in there it ascends up the
whole length of the abdomen through the
chest direct. Then mixing with impure
venous blood, it goes to the right cham
ber of the heart, and thence is sent into
the lungs. By drawing in a breath, the
oxygen in the air is united to the new
fluid and the returned old blood; it re
vivifies one and vitalizes the other.
From the food the solid parts of the body
are not only made, but kept in repair.
In the West thin and shallow creeks
sometimes rise with spring freshets,
carrying everything in their current for
a little while. Then thev are said tn
" boom."

A Fearful Bisk for Girls.
1 he pastor of a church in one of
our large cities said to me, not long
ago: "j. nave omciated at forty
weaaings since l came here, and m
every case save one I felt that the
bndo was running an awful risk
Young men of bad habits and fast
tendencies never marry girls of their
own sort, but demand a wife above
suspicion. So pure, sweet women
kept from the touch of evil through
the years of their girlhood, give
themselves, with all their costly
dower ot womanhood, into the keep
ing of men who, in base associations
have learned to under-value all that
belongs to them and then find no re
pentance in tne sad after years
There is but one way out of this that
I can see, and that is for you the
young woman of the country to
require in associations and mar
riage purity for purity, sobriety
tor sobriety, and honor for honor.
There is no reason why the young
men or this Christian land should
not be just as virtuous as the women
and if the loss of society and love be
the price they are forced to pay for
vice, they will not pay it. I admit
with sadness that not all our young
women are capable of this high
standing lor themselves or others
but I believe there are enough earn
est, thoughtful girls in the society of
our country to work wonders if
faithfully aroused. Dear girls, wil
you help us, in the name of Christ?
Will you, first of all, be true to your
selves and God; so pure in your inner
and outer lite that you shall have
right to ask that the young man with
whom you marry shall be the same?
The awful gulf of dishonor is close
beside your feet, and in it fathers
brothers, lovers and sons are going
down. Will you help us in our great

Chinese Coinage.
China has no real coinage for the pur
poses ot trade, Lattle bits of silver as
sayed and weighed, and dollars of the
Mexican Republic, battered out of shape
and classed one, two and three, at dif
ferent values according as an affected
comprador pretends to have found more
or less bronze in their composition
this is the ridiculous coinage of the
coast. In Hong Eong, itself, when I
took my letters to the post, and gave
dollar to the clerk to pay for stamps,
had to wait till he bit it, tried, it with
acid, weighed it and gave me change
not as though my dollar were a dollar
uni accoraing to its weignt, which was
ninety-six one-hundredths of what
snouid nave been. This was no excep
tional case, but was the practice gone
through in every instance. Such is the
repute of English coin, that the Hong
jtvong mint would in a few years have
introduced the use of its dollars by the
Chinese people throughout the trading
portions of the empire without continu
ing to impose any charge whatever on
the English taxpayer. The history of
aonars would be a very curious one.
The Chinese look doubtfully upon all
that do not bear the name of some well
known Chinese firm stamped upon them,
as we write the names across the back of
a bank-note, except they are of one
kind Mexican pillar dollars, the two
pillars of which are described in their
Chinese name, ' two-piecy-canneltick '
dollars, that is, two candlestick dollars.
A note in the history of dollars that
propose, would have to record the fact
that our expeditionary force to Abys
sinia had to be supplied with Maria
Theresa dollars, of which none were to
be found in the market, these being the
only corns received by the natives of
that country. The Austrian Govern
ment had to be applied to by the British
Government, and the coins had to be
specially struck off for us at the Vienna
mint.
Woman.
A woman, notwithstanding she is the
the best of listeners, knows her business.
and it is a woman's business to please. I
do not say that it is her business not to
vote, but 1 do say that the woman who
does not please is a false note in the har
monies of nature. She may not have
youth or beauty, or even manner, but she
must have something in her voice or ex
pression, or both, which it makes you
feel better disposed toward your race to
look at or listen to. She knows that as
well as we do ; and her first question
after you have been talking your soul
into her consciousness is, did I please ? A
woman never forgets her sex. She would
rather talk with a man than an angel any
day. Womanly women are very fond of
critics, except to themselves and now and
then to their own sex. The less there is
of sex about a woman, the more she is to
be dreaded. ut take a real woman at
her best moment well dressed enough to
be pleased with herself, not so resplen
dent as to be a show and a sensation,
with the varied outside influences that set
vibrating the harmonic notes of her na
ture stirring in the air about her and
what has social life to compare with one
of those vital interchanges of thought and
feeling with her that make an hour mem
orable ? What can equal her tact, her
delicacy, her subtlety of apprehensions,
her quickness to feel the changes of tem
perature, as the warm and cool currents
oi thought blow by turns ? At one mo
ment she is microscopically intellectual.
critical, scrupulous in judgment as an an
alyst's balance, and the next as sympa
thetic as the open rose that sweetens the
wind from whatever quarter it finds its
way to her bosom. It is the hospitable
soul of a woman that a man forgets he it.

Co-Operatlve Colony Association.
We notice that a movement has been
set on foot in New York City in the or
ganization of a Co-operative Colony Aid
Association, to assist worthy families of
workingmen to homes in the West. An
Executive Committee has been chosen,
embracing the following: Charles F.
Deems, B. Heber Newton, Felix Adler,
Joseph Seligman, Courttandt Palmer, E.
V. Smalley, C. F. Wingate.Dr. Rylance,
and George Saterlee. The plan is to put
the advantages of colonization before
the people, to aid such as are willing to
go, if possible, and that eventually, if
deemed advisable, the Association should
take the form of a joint stock concern.

THE ONION MAGGOT.
Ashes or saltpetre if applied in time will
hold this pest in check.
LIME FOB CHICKENS.
When vour hens have the run in sum
mer they will find considerable lime ; but
it is just as well to nave it near tne nen
house.
PEAR TREES.
Wood ashes makes an excellent fertil
zer for pear trees. Mixed coal and wood
ashes mav also be applied with advantage.
Ground bones are better for fruit trees of
all kinds than fermenting manure.
CALVES.
When calves come as twins, and one is
a bull while the other is a heifer, it is the
best policy to get rid of the heifer, as veal
or otherwise. She will never be likely to
have a calf of her own. This only if her
twin is a bull calf.
SUN FLOWERS.
Raise plenty of sun flowers. The seeds
are excellent for chickens and a valuable
medicine for horses. Half a pint of flax
seed or one pint of sun flower seed in a
horse's feed, three or four times a week,
fall and spring, does very much to keep
them in good health.
WHEAT.
This grain when cut young will be
lighter in color, and it will ferment more
quickly than that cut later. But if there
is any theory about the matter at all we
believe that the late cut wheat that is,
the stem-dried, will make the least flour
but the strongest and best.
WIRE FENCES.
We confess to a prejudice against thin
wire fences. Horses may not run against
them ; indeed, if the horses are anything
like ours they will Le too lazy to run
against anything ; but they might run
against the wire fences, which are almost
invisible, and there is where the theory
and the prejudice come in. v
USE THE HOB.
Hoe your plants toward night in a verv
"dry spell," and in the morning you will
find the earth around them showing plain
signs of moisture, absorbed from the air.
This will not occur if the ground is packed
hard. Hoe corn frequently. Do not stick
to the traditionary three times. Hoeing
stimulates the growth of the plant and
kills the weeds.
MOLES IN GARDENS.
Moles are a nuisance in gardens. There
are various means of destroying them or
driving them away. Correspondents of
Vich't Magazine say soak corn until soft,
then with a penknife open each kernel
and place in a dose of strichnia, and close
up again. Another says plant in the gar
den the mole tree (euphorbia lythysis), a
hardy annual, sometimes called caper
spurge.
CABBAGE WORMS.
Hot water thrown upon the plants will
kill the cabbage worm. Be careful that it
is not hot enough to scald the cabbages.
A market gardener who grows cabbage on
a large scale recommends a mixture of
twenty parts of superphosphate of lime,
one part of carbolic powder and three
Sarts of fresh air slaked lime, a small
andful of which should be scattered
over each head.
BEANS.
The best soil is a mellow clay or sandy
loam. Prepare the land as for corn, fitted
in the nicest manner. Plant ten days or
two weeks after planting corn. Marrow
beans require one and one-eighth bushels
of seed per acre ; mediums, three-fourths
of a bushel ; pea beans, one-half bushel ;
kidney or other large beans, more, in pro
portion to size. A fair crop is twenty
bushels per acre. Country Gentleman.
HOME BEMEDIES.
Every farmer should keep at home for
both family and animal use some good
liniment. Look out for quack remedies
advertised in the papers. They are only
frauds ; and even if thev have one or two
good ingredients they cost ten times as
much as the simple genuine article can
be got for at a decent drug store. There
is nothing better than camphorated oil
for bathing a sprain in an animal. We
should first soften the part with verv
warm water.
GRASS LAND AND MANURES.
Reuben Brooks, of West Snrinefield. re
cently said that he considered right after
mowing was a good time to top dress
grass land. The best way to compost
manures was to bring tne raw material in
contact with the soil as soon as possible
and mix it there. Plaster not only de
odorizes, nut sweats and rots manures
tie ureters green manures nlouched in for
an the crops he raises, and thought there
was an advantage in several ploughings
before starting a crop.
The Underground Telegraph System.
Gen. Stager, of Chicago, one of the
vice-presidents of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, and president of
the Western Electric Manufacturing
Company, has purchased the sole right to
the Brooks underground telegraph svs-
tem in the United States, the owners of
which were the Brooks Underground
Telegraph Construction Company, organ
ized in uuis cnjr one year ago ior twenty
five years. David Brooks, the electrician
of this city, has been engaged in the
manufacture of insulators for telegraph
wires. The Brooks insulator, of which
he is the inventor and patentee, has been
in use for a long time in the United
States and Europe. For years Mr. Brooks
had entertained the belief that a system
of underground telegraphy could be
devised which would be far superior in
point of economy and convenience to
the "overhead system. The system is
expected to do away entirely with the
'overhead system, .bitty of these con-
per wires not much thicker than pins in
closed in an inch and a quarter pipe
will do as much work, according to the
electricians, as fifty telegraph wires over
head. It is expected that with this num
ber of wires, or even twenty or thirtv.
some can be leased to business men for
communication between this city and
New York by telephone. Philadelphia

Small Feet.
For the sake of having small feet manv
an otherwise sensible woman will mar
tyrize herself by pinching those unlucky
members of the body into boots a size
too small. As a natural and necessary
result of -such pinching confinement, the
foot becomes deformed, with large joints
and toes' turned from a line parallel with
the foot, to say nothing of the trouble
some corns, so annoying and crippling to
a large class of young women. The worst
results of this crippling custom of wear
ing small and narrow boots is felt .by
children when allowed to outgrow their
boots. It is poor economy to allow the
young to wear boots when the boots have
become too large for them. When the
boot is too short and the heel too high.
the ingrowing of the nails is a perfectly
natural result. Children will have suffi
cient ills to contend with without this
crippling from deformed feet, the most
prominent cause of which is small and
badly-fitting boots and shoes.

V TRUSS COMPANY, W.
J. Unity k, Prop'r., Dear sir:
I feel that I owe it to you and
to humanity to write the fact
that I have been SUBSTAN
TIALLY CURED of a bad
rupture, of thirty vears' standing, by one of
your incomparable Trusses, which 1 purchased
from you three months ago. I cannot describe
the suffering, both mentally and physically, that
I have undergone during that period; and now I
feel like a new being. I have worn all kinds of
Trusses, both steel and elastic, and never re
ceived any permanent relief until I tried yours.
Its simplicity oi construction, and facility with
which it can be adjusted, and the ease and free
dom to the motions of the body with which it
can be worn without causing any irritation, are
its cruet merits, and it is a pprlect supporter. 1
have not had any si?n of a return of a Rupture
since the first day I put it on, and feel that I am
PERFECTLY CURED. It is invaluble, and the
fact should be known to the world. You can
refer any one to me on thesubjectof their merits.
I am yours trulv,

California Truss Co:
After nracticine medicine many years in this
city, during which time I have had an extensive
experience in the application of all kinds of
Trusses, l can anu ao icconimena yours as me
best in every respect, and is as near perfect as
modern science can make it. It has many advan
tages over the torturing steel hoop Trusses, which
inflict great injury on the hips and spine, bring
ing on other distressing ailments, such as Lum
bago, morbid affections of tho kidney and
uumbness in the lower limbs, all of which are
avoided by wearing the California Elastic Truss.
It is not only a perfec: retainer, comprising ease
and comfort, bui the pressure can be changed to
any degree. It also remains in its proper place
at all times, regardless of the motions ot tha
body. "Uid is worn night and day with perfect
ease. It is superior to any oi me iasuc i rusacs
now in the market, while it combines the merits
nf nil. 1st It is easily adjusted on and off with
snaps, doing away with straps and buckles. 2nd
The universal spring between the plateb and
pads prevents all irritation, which is a god-send
to the sufferer. 3rd The pad is adjusted on and
off in an instant, and can be changed to any
other size and form most suitable to the case. In
fact it combines every quality essential to comfort
and durability, and is unequaled in lightness,
and elasticity, natural action and artistic finish.
Many of my patients who are afflicted with her
nia are wearing them, and all shall in the future,
for I think the great ease with which these
purely scientific appliances are made efficacious,
is truly wonderful. You can refer any parties to
me on the subject of their merits.
l remain truly yours,
