"In London oue can buy more for a
Tcny and less for a guinea than in any
other place on earth."
Tbia waa the dictum cf one the Unit
ed States ministers accredited to the
court of St. James some time ago, my
memory wavering between Mr. Motley
and Mr. Marcy as the originator of the
remark. Whichever gentleman actual
ly uttered the words of not very vital
importance, the truth of the statement
is incontrovertible, and is as palpable in
Mr. Fbelp's time as it was In Mr
Marcy 'a.
I think the one great reason why
there la socn a difference between the
purchasing power of tbe guinea the
former coin being relatively so much
more valuable than the Utter is tha
England ts, has always been, and per
sists In being an aristocratic country.
In spite of the great advance of the
democratic idea in late years, and tbo
undoubted fact that in some respects
-England enjoys as great an amount of
freedom as any republic of our day, it is
nevertheless, the case that practically
only two classes of people are recognized
in Fngland, namelv. tbe rich and the
poor, the aristocratic acd tbe plebeian
The rich are very rich ; the poor are
very poor. A guinea is nothing to tbe
former ; a penny a great deal to the
latter. Hence, as little as possible is
given to the rich for their guinea ; as
much as possible to the pajr for their
penny.
In making this positive statement
I'm aware that I ara laying myself open
to a counterargument of great strength,
which would truthfully indicate tbe ex
istence of an most important element of
Knglish life, to wit : the middle section
of the community an enormous body
which ranges between the aristocracy
and the plebeins in endless gradations,
touching the upper ranks on the one
side, aud the lower on the other. The
question would take some time to
thresh out, bat being so, would indubi
tably prove that, as I have saic, the
population of England is separated into
two great divisions of the great humau
family, who are widely known ana
Bpoken of us "the classes and the mass
es."
Keep Farm Kecords.
Every farmer Is to a great extent a
manufacturer, and ought to keep a
record of his operations. This is the
key to success in auy busines . But
the soil t'ller should attend to some
other matter in connection with hie ac
counts. A map of his farm, with each
field numbered, and its si?., quality of
aoll, etc., speoifled, will be a great aid
in keeping track of the year's transac
tions. How many farmers have such
a guide and convenince ? And how
many kept such memoranda in 1S87 as
will enable them to tell the expense of
each crop grown ? Ar.d how about the
domestic animals ? If you keep cos.
what have they paid you per head in ti e
aggregate ? And what of the sheep,
swine, and even the chickens ? How
much did each contribute to your in
come, snd which was the most profi'a
tlf ? Those who can answer thse per
tinent questions must be well advised
In regard to their iinancial position, and
need no admonttion ; butwe fear many
are utterly unable to give any detailed
account of their farming operations, or
whether the balance is on the ri ht or
wrong side of the ledger. It is needless
to say that such management wouM
soon wreck almost any commercial en
terprise, and herce the frequent com
plaint that "firming don't pay'' is no!
surprising. What we write is intende:!
to be suggestive rather than admonitory.

The End or the World.
The age or the earth is placed ly
some at ftXCK).00 vears. an.! tm
others nf latter time, among them the
Duxeof Argyll, places it at lO.lXM Cnjo
years, knowing what processes it has
gone through. Othr pUuets go through
the same process The reason that oth
er planets differ so much from the earth
is that thy are in a much earlier or lat
er stage of existence. The earth must
become old. Newton eurmised, al
though he could give no reason for it,
that the earth would at one time lose all
its water ar.d become dry. Sine then
it has teen found that Newtcn was cor
rect. As the earth keeps cooling it will
tcome porous, and cavities will be
formed in the interior, which will take
in the water. It is est imated this pro
cess is now iu progress so far that the
water diminishes at the rate of about
the thickness of a sheet of writing paper
each year.
At this ra'e in G 000,000 j ears the
water will have sunk a mile, and in l.".
OOO.lXAl the wa er will have disappear
ed from the face of the globe. The ni
trogen aud oxj gen in the a'mosphere
are also diminishing all the time. It is
an inappreciable degree, but the time
il! come when the air will be so thin
that no creatine we know can breath
and live ; the time will come when the
world cirn: support life. That will
be the period of old age, and then will
ccme death.

" Job wu wonderfully afflicted roan,
bat si partial compensation for It be
bad tbe trmpfttbT of tbe bamao race for
4,000 years. Bat It has not been bo
with Job's wife. Nobody baa ever
spoken ft kind word of ber. Oa tbe
contrary, sbe has been beld up for forty
centuries as a horrible example.
Bat lor all that, we are confident the
po jr woman deserves a better place In
history than sbe has ever occupied. If
she was sour-tempsred, sbe bad enough
to Rie an acid tinge to ber disposition.
She was made to drink the dress from
a very bitter cap. and it is probable she
bore ber troubles with about as much
equanimity as the average woman would
do.
In tbe first place sbe was suddenly
reduced from luxury to penury. Any
unfortunate woman who has suffered
this ordeal knows just tbe frame of
mind Mrs. Job was iu.
In the next place, sbe was bereft of
ber children. There is no grief so bur
densome as that which falls upon a
mother's heart when the grave bides
ber childen from sight.
Iu additon to tbe accumulation of
sorrows, she was left with an invalid
husband on her bands. Job was cov
ered with boils, aud experience has
taught us there is no more exasperating
patient than a man with a boil on bim.
There axe wives, and good wives, too.
In this Christian land of ours, whose
lives have been made most miserable
for days and weeks at a time by hus
band and oce boll.
Just think, then, what this poor wo
man bad to endure with a husband with
perhaps from five hundred to one thou-
eand boils on bim. Is it any wonder
that tbe woman encouraged her hus
band to terminate his existence ? The
only wonder is that she didn't cut her
own throat in despair.
But these were not all the troubles
that Job's wife had to bear. Tier hus
band's friends came on a visit to him
and took possession of the bouse for six
weeks at a time. Other women, and
Kood women, too, have had to endure
the same affliction, and they can very
e isily account for Mrs. Job's exhibition
of bad temper. Job cot worried with
the three visitors himself, and yet he
didn't have to wait on them, to clean
up their rooms, to wipe the tobacco
juice from the parlor carpet every Jay,
to sweep out tbe mud they carried in on
their boots, and to submit to the thou
sand and oue annoyances that a male
visitor jriveo the housekeeper.
It is about time that somebody was
raising a voice in defense of Job's wife
and saying a kind word for tbe poor
woman, wbo, for 4,000 years has suffer
ed the slings of unjust criticism is un
complaining silence.
There are a great many Job's wives
in the world to-day. We meet them
every day. Tbey may not have hus
bands wth boils on their bodies, but
they Lave husbands who go to clubs of
evenings. They have husbands who
are selfish enough to devote all tbsir
time to business and pleasure without
considering that a portion of that time
of right belongs to the woman, tbe
charm of whose existence is his compan
ionship. The Job's wives of to-day are
the women who are burdened with the
cares and an rows of this life and who
get no sympathy. And their name is
legion.
A Hooter's Death.
A Kentucky newspaper the F.iria
CVfi'zeii seventy years old, and just
found among some old papers, gives the
following account of the death of Dan
iel Boone :
"As he lived so he died, with bis zun
in his hand. We are informed by a
gentleman direct from Boone's settle
ment on tbe Missouri that early last
month Colonel Boone road to a deer lick
and seated himself within a blind raised
to conceal bim from the game. That
while setlins thus concealed, with hu
trusty trifle in hi hand, pointed toward
me licK, tbe muzzle resting on a Ion.
bis face to tbe breech of bis gun, bis
lias cocked, bis finger on the trigger.
one eye shut, the other looking alone-
the barrel through the sights in this
position, without a strusrarle or motion.
and of course without pain, be breathed
out bis last so jrentlv that when he was
round next day by bis fxiecds. althoueh
stiff and cold, be looked aa if alive, with
his gun in bis hand juet in the act of
firing."
It Is Well to Remember.
That slander, like mud, dries and
rails off.
That he who gathers roses must not
fear thorns.
That to wait and be patient soothes
many a pang.
That all are not princes that ride
with tbe emperor.
That correction is good when admin
istered iu season.
That it takes a great deal f grace to
be able to bear praise.
That yon will never have a friend If
yon must have one without fallings.
That to have what we want is riches.
but to be able to do without is power.
That there is no limit to tbe aee at
which a man may make a fool of him
self.
That tbe roses of pleasure seldom
last loog enough to adorn tbe brow of
those wbo pluck them.
That tbe man who cannot mind his
own business is not to be trusted with
the business of others.

A Unman Magnet.
L.ate In August last, while tttltlcg a
vacation in a country town, I beard of
a case that was causing considerable
discussion aDd wonderment among the
people. Invars of tbe mysterious, wbo
are always ready to attribute any mani
festations at all peculiar to supernatural
agencies, wer indulging in various
wiso speculations as to tbe true nature
of , the case. The child is termed a
"human magnet" by the believers in
and practisers of magnetic rubbiDgs,
while tbe Spiritulista declare the cbild
a chosen medium. My curiosity became
aroused and I asked permission to see
this wonderful prodigy. Permission
was granted and 1 saw the child at two
different times, making my visits some
days apart. I found a pretty, delicate
cbild, Dolly C, aged three and one-half
years, an only child ; blonde, with a
pale and rather waxy complexion. Her
manner of speech and conduct were
characterized by a womanly grace much
in advance of ber tender years.
Last February the phenomenon I de
scribed was first noticed. "While play
ing with some spoons the mother was
surprised to see ber arranging them on
ber finger tips, where they hung with
perfect ease. She will place tbe palmer
surface of tbe finger tips in the conca
vity of tbe epooD-howl near the end, and
lift from the holder, one by one, with
out otherwise touching thtm, until a
spoon is suspended from each finger tip.
If the spoons do not strike too violently
against each other she will carry them
about tbe room without dropping them.
The spoons will adhere to the nose and
chin as they do on the fingers.
I examined tbe case in various way?.
First I tried four teaspoons with a mag
net ; one pure silver, one pewter, one
triple plated and one single plated or
washed. The pure silvtr or pewter
spoons were not influenced x-y the mag
net ; the heavier plated was only par
tially raised, while the washed spoon
was raised entirely clear of the table.
I carried these four spoons with me, for
the child to exercise her anomalous
power of prehension upan. .Lach one
was suspended with equal ease except
the one of pure silver. This one was
lightest in weight, and the bowl was
considerably flatter than any of the
other three. But after arranging it up
on fcer fingers a few times sbe succeed
ed in making it "stick." Asking her
to put ber fingers ender the spoon-bowl.
I found a very appreciated resistance in
taking it off. Tbe spoons would bang
from the tip of tbe nose and chin with
as much security as from the fineers.
Thinking the adherence might be due to
an excessive clamminess of the skin I
tested its surface with my own fingfr
tips. Not discovering any, and lo make
sure I was deceived by my own sense of
touch, I had the hands, nose and chin
carefully washed with soap and water
acd dried with a warmed towel. I
found no perceivable difference in the
adhesiveness. The child could not
pick op a steel needle, that is so sensi
tive to the magnet, nor vrould a penny
"stick" to the fingers, chin or nose. I
could discover nothing unusual in the
shape cf the finger tips. The skin was
soft and velvety to the touch and I could
be sure of clamminess nowhere except
on the pinna. The hands and feet were
warm to the touch when I saw her, and
ber mother states that she is not often
troubled with cold feet or hands.
Tbe little patient's mother also told
me that her sister's daughter, a young
lady of nineteen years of age and "al
ways sick," as she expressed It, mani
fests tbe same singular power. This
case I did not see, but have no reason to
doubt the lady's statement, as she and
ber whole family are known to be truth
ful and honest.
I have been thus particular in giving
all the available points in the family
history of the case, hoping thereby some
light might be thrown upon the singu
lar phenomenon.
Faith Cure Tor Warts.
A young lady in town has been very
much troubled over a numbar of large
warts on her hands. She baa tried
every remedy she ever beard of with the
exception of having them removed with
the knife. And all to no effect, until a
last novel remedy has done its work.
She c'.aims to have got it from a gypsy
woman. She cuts pieces of paper in
squares and Urge enough to cover a
wart. After w etting them she plastered
one of them on each wart. When the
pieces of paper had dried she took them
in the full of the moon and placed them
upon the ground beneath the eaves of a
building, where the water would drip
upon them. After they had been thor
oughly wet she placed them in an oven
to dry, and finally she placed them in
tbe shape of a triangle upon her hand
and then thrust her hand out of a third-
story window and blew them off to the
winds. In three days tbe warts bad
disappeared. She is so confident of the
cure that she recommends it to all ber
friends.
Candy Tor Philadelphia.
Philadelphia claims to make and eat
more candy in proportion to population
than any other city in the country. There
are eighty-seven manufacturers and
wholesalers and 1.200 retailers, and they
use more than $1,000,000 of capital and
consume 100.000 tons of sutrar evrv
year. Caramels are a great specialty
of the trade in that city. For other
places much chocolate and walnut
candy and many gum drops are made.
Six tous of sum drops were shipped
irom l'hiiadelphia to Pittsburgh tbe
week before Christmas, Brooklyn
makes the most cbewintr zum. it in
said, and Boston eats the most of it.
