I have used many remedies for Dys pepsia, Liver Affection and Debility, but never have found anything to benefit me to tin extent Simmons Liver Regulator has, I sent from Min nesota to Georgia for It, and would send further for such a medicine, and would advise all who are sim ilarly affected to give it a trial as it seems the only thing that neser fails to relieve.

Tim imtinlar reason for tho strikes n different parts of tho Stalo is ndesiro on part of tho workmen for higher wages. In reality, howover, tho true reason lies so far below tho Burfaco that not one workman in twenty could recognize it should lio meet it in Ins discussions of work nnd wages. In his treatment of every-day subjects tho av erage workman has learned to look up on tho surface only, and it is not strango therefore that his grade of log ic Bhould advise a strike when the un questionable laws of supply and de mand arguo strongly on ino opposite Bido. The reason is plain. When tho supply of manufactured articles exceeds the demand it is inevit able that prices must be reduced in or der that tho Burplus stock may find now outlets and so keep tho supply level with the demand. It this bo prevent ed by nny mentis trado becomes dull and manufactories shut down for lack of work. To reduce the price the man ufacturer must lose tho profit or tlio cost of production must bo decreased. Tho cost of production can be decreas ed in no way save by n reduction in the cost of labor, as material of any kind is valuable only in proportion to tho amount of labor that it rep.cseuts. Tho sequenco cannot bo misconstru ed. If workmen go on a strike to maintain tho standard of wages, they go on strike because of a reduction in the price dl manufactured articles. If they insist upon keeping up the cost of production in dull limes tho mills must close, for it would be n strange sort of manufacturer that would run his mills at a largo daily loss. Workmen should not bo too hasty in their effort to force prices against a dull market. They cannot create now fields for the sale of their production by an organized strike, and in the long mil thoy will not gain by blocking up tho source from which they receive their daily bread. Neith er free trado nor strikes will help them in nny way. 1 tinea. Emerson's Democratic Character. Henry James, Jr., has an article on the "Correspondence of Carlylo and imerson." in tho JunoCwifwi, in which ho says: "Kmerson's letters aro especially interesting for tho impression thoy give us of what wo may call tho thinness of tlio row Jimgland atmos phere in these days tho thinness, and, it must be added, the purity. An al most touching lightness, sparseness, transparency marked the social scenery in tlioso days; and this impression, in Kmerson's pages, is the greater by con trast with the echoes ot tlio dense, warm life of London that are transmitted by his correspondent: One is reminded, as we remember being reminded in the lernsal of Hawthornos 'American Notebook's,' of tho importance of the individual in that simple social economy of almost any individual who was not simply engaged in buy ing and selling. If must be remembeaed, of course, that the importance of tho indi vidual was Jimerson s great doctrine ; every one had a kingdom within him solf was potential sovereign, by divine right, over a multitude of inspiration and virtues. No one maintained a more hospital attitude than his toward anything that any one might have to say. There was no presumption against. even tlie humblest, and ino ear oi ino universe was open to any one nrticulate voice. In this respect tho opposition to Carlylo was complete The great Scotchman thought all talk a jabbering of apes : whereas Emerson, wl.o was the perfector of a listener, stood always in a posture of hopeful expectancy and regarded each delivery of a perso nal view as a new fact, to be estimated on its merits. In a genuino democracy all things aro democratic ; and this spirit of general defence, on tho part of a beautiful poet who might have avail ed himself of tho poetic license to bo fastidious, was the natural product ot a society in which it was" held that erery one was equal to every one else. It was a natuial on the other sido that Uiriy le's philosophy should have aristocratic premises, ana inai no snouiu can mono for that imperial master of the necessity for whom the .New England mind was so serenely unconsious."

Every stall should bo at least six feet wide and nine feet long. This will enable thu horse to turn round without braising himself, and to lie down nnd stretch himself with comfoit. Let tho stalls bo separated by partitions, not by bars. Tiiese prevent ino noises irom uginiiig nml kicking eoch other.

The fresh nir should enter thiough n number of small holts, rather than such a large hole, such as au open window. That prevents ill mights, which causo chills and coughs. The tempera ture of a stablo should bo that of a sit ting room or parlor ; not over seventy degrees in summer, nor under forty in winter. Hot, closo or foul stables will bring on glandeis or inflammation, while a very :-old or damp ono may causo nn incurable cough or disease of tho lungs. Do not keep the hay over tho manger.
