LIKE HIS FATHER, Afflicted With Stone in the Bladder, Mr. 8. W. Hicks, of Pleasant Valley, Duchess county, N. Y., the son of Mr. E. 8. Hicks, whose name may have appeared in this journal in cone nection with an article similar to this, was, like his father; afflicted with Stone in the Bladder, on- ly that his case was more serious than his fa. ther's. The father alvised the son to write to Dr, David Kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y., who, he sald, would tall him what to do. Dr, Kennedy replied, sugpesting the use of KENNEDY'S FAVORITE REMEDY, which had worked so successful in the father's case, Mr, Hicks. who had been as sured by the local physicians that they could do nothing mora for him, tried “Favorite Remedy.” After two week's passed a stone #4 of aa inch long and of the thickness of a pipe stem’ Since then he has had no symptoms of a return of the trouble. Here is a sick man healed, What better results could have beer expected? What greater benefit could medical science confer? Fhe end was gained; that is surely enough.

A scrofulous condition is often hereditary, but bad diet, too free use of fat meats, bad air, want of sunshine and nourishing food will induce it. Some people are troubled with scrofulous swelling of the glands, and with ulcers and kernels, which may cause very little pain; others may have in- ward scrofula, scrofula of the Jungs, scrofula of the spleen, scrofula of the kidneys, and scrofula of the bones.

POUBLE RIOUDARD CULTURE, ——— Rlinbarb, like our currant bushes, will grow almost anywhere and under any treatment, and consequently receives more ill-usage than any other ‘green thing growing.” But for this reason it should not be supposed that when grow. ing under neglect and abuse it will do its best and produce as abundant crops and of equally good quality as when good treatment is given, After it is once planted rhubarb requires little cul- tivation, but it must have at all times, deep, rich soil, the richer the bet- ter. In field culture the roots are planted about four feet apart each way, and enltivated like any hoed crop. In the family garden they should be planted two or three feet apart, in a single row, at least four feet distant from other plants, It may be raised from seed, but as there is little reliance in the seedlings being of the same variety as the parent plants, division of the roots is the methed of propagation usually adopted. Any piece of root with a bud or erown will grow if planted about two inches deep in mellow soil firmly pressed around it. Reots may be planted in autumn or early spring. Plantations are usually renewed every four or five years, vet when a liberal dressing of manure is given every fall the roots will produce a crop for an nlmost indefinite period. liberal space are the essential requisites for rising large, sucenlent rhubarb. The varioties best known are the Len- ngens, grown extensively for market as well as home use. It is early, very pro- ductive, and of a brisk, spicy flavor. Its principal fault is that it seeds so reely that unless all flower stalks are cut off as soon as they appear the erop deteriorates rapidly. Victoria is later, has large leaves and stalks, and requires a rich, rather heavy ground for its best development. Paragon is a new variety originated in England, and now intro- duced here. The stalks are bright red, heavy, and produced in quick succession and great abundance. It is earlier, of more delicate flavor, and decidedly less acid than any other variety we are acquainted with. But its most remark- able and most valuable qualification is that it does not produce flower stalks, to which fact its great productiveness is mainly attributable, all the strength of the plant being used for the develop- ment of its leaves. EE ————_— ——————— A BALESMAN'S OPINION, —— “We sell lots of pocket-mirrors to men. No matter how they look—they want a pocket-mirror all the same. They retire every hour or so to some secret place to admire themselves, Talk of the vanity of women, indeed! I pales, sir ; it fades away into insignifi- cance by comparison with the admira- tion the majority of men have for their own mugs. Why, there are some half- a-dozen who, entertaining a great respect for my critical judgment of physical beauty, step in here every day to inquire how they are looking. Then it is, ‘Am I pale to-day, Jim? or ‘Do you think my color is too high, Jim? or, ‘That left eyebrow is growing a trifle heavy; don't you think I'd better have it trimmed off a bit?” If I say, ‘Your color is too high,” my friend is off to the barber's for a dab of powder, or—but this is a dead secret—we accommodate him in this shop. If he is too pale we tinge himap. It's wonderful, positively wonderful, sir!” * But there are differ. ent degrees of vanity smong these male beauties, are there not? “No, sir; there is but one degree, and that is the superlative, but there are different degrees of candor. Bome are modest, and will declare that their mustaches or beard are always getting tangled. Now, there's a good-looking blonde railroad agent on ~—— street, who bought a small mirror from me the other day, which he keeps in his breast pocket To is a glutton about his personal beauty, he is; brit a real estate man, a fair, stout young person, whose office is near him, has found out that he has this glass, and begs the loan of it a dozen times a day. The percentage of those who carry pocket-mirrors is ‘small among ladies, but eight out of every dozen men have one in the vest-pocket.” TO CLEAN PIANO KEYS, —— When the white pianoforte keys become discolored we should remove the front fall and slip of wood just over them ; then lift up each key separately from the front-do not take them out— and rub the keys with a white cloth slightly damped with eold water, and dry off with a cloth slightly warm. Should the keys be sticky, first damp the cloth with a little spirits of wine or AACS A A AH A SN THE ORIGIN OF BALT. i — This world was once a haze of fluid light, as the poes and the men of science agree in informing us. As soon as it began to cool down a little the heavier materials naturally sank toward the centre, while the lighter, now repre- sented by the ocean and the atmosphere, floated in a gaseous condition on the outside. But the great envelope of vapor thus produced did not consist merely of the constituents of air and water ; many other gases and vapors | mingled with them, as they still do tos | far less extont in our existing stmos- phere. By and by, as the cooling and condensing process continued, the water settled down from the condition of steam into one of a liquid at a dull red heat. | As it AAtidet it carried down with i$ | a great many other substances, held in | golution, whose component elements had | previously existed in the primitive gas. | {eons atmosphere, Thus the early ocean | which covered the whole earth was in all | | probability not only very salt, but also | | quite thick with other mineral matters | {close up to the point of enturat It | was full of lime and raw flint, and sul- phates and many other miscellaneous | bodies.

Osborn, a rich Jerscyman, not less than $100,000. The orchard stretches for sixty miles along the’ sea, and there are in it two hundred thousand thriving trees. These trees were bronght in vessels from Bouth America, and landed by means of surf boats built for the purpose. ———— | Shelled corn Twanked 4h Vio TANS . A Queen's Opinion, J. M. Queen writes from Johnston, W, Va., that he has been sorely afflicted for several years, but he was urged to try Fa RUNA, which he did, and he now Y feels that he is about over his trouble, and con« siders it the greatest medicine in the world. He says he has to go orsend a distance of fifteen miles to obtain Peru- NA, but it will repay him for this, Ellwood Shallcross, former editor of the Saturday Journal, Wheeling, W. Va, says: * Gentlemen: Some time ago ft was afflicted with apain in my back in the region of the kidneys, and suffered con- siderably. Having read your advertise- ment, I went to Logan & Co., of this city, and purchased a bottle of PERUNA, which 1 took, and it resulted in the complete re- moval of the pain, I think I can safely recommend it as a superior panacea for pains,” ” Mr. Aaron Shrefller, Alma, Marion coun. ty, Ill, writes: “Dr, 8.
