Tho duelling pistol now occupies its proper place, in tho museum of the collector of relics of barbarism.

But the pestle is still in evidence, and will be, probably, until everybody has tested tho virtua of Ayer'a sugar coated pills. They treat the liver as a friend, not as an enemy. Instead of driving it, they coax it. They are compounded on tho theory that tho liver does its work thoroughly and faithfully under obstructing conditions, and if the obstructions are removed, tho liver will do its daily duty.

The enormous strides made by tho new force in commorce and industries of late years have been to n certain extent, paralleled by the application of electricity in medicine and surgery. The eloctrio motor turns the drill ol the dentist, bores out nil the noses of mankind in tho hands of the rhinologist, and may run tho saw and the trephine of the surgeon. The eloctrio light is made to llluminato all the cavities and interiors of tho hu man body, so that "the pestilence that walketh in darkness" in the black recesses of our viscera is sought ont and driven away by the electric searchlight. It is nothing cow to put an endoscope into the stomach and scrutinize its walls from one end to the other, and in a dark room the very size of the stomach is determined by the transamination of tho abdominal walls when the light is turned on in side of that visens. Electricity furnishes heat for tho cautery, with which morbid surfaces may bo healed, wounds stimulated and tumors extirpated. The electrolytic needle removes the hair of the bearded woman, eradicates birth-marks, decomposes tumors, co agulates aneurisms, and, in its most romantio role, manufactures thoso most desired ornaments of the femi nine physiognomy lovely dimples. The electro-magnet pulls ont the beam from our neighbor's eye when the beam is in the shape of a piece oi iron, and when the operation is in telligently directed by the ophthal mologist. It may hunt up and draw ont wandering needles. Kleotrioity has considerable value a: a means of diagnosis in many neuro logical conditions. Then, too. in the surgery of the brain and spinal cord, which has newly sprung into existence, elcctrio stimulation of parts of the brain and of nerve roots is very val uable in localizing the exact region tc bo operated upon. Altogether, electricity oocupies ar extensive place in the armamentarium of u physician, and it is considered ol paramount importance by the medi cal students of the day. Home Queen.

In most farming districts a little ad dition may be made to the income of the farm by growing top onion sets in a small way, writes L. O'Fnllow, ol Minnesota, these are prodncod on top of the onion stalks, in a cluster, instead of seed, and consist of a num ber of small bulbs or onions, about tho sizo of acorns. If plantod, those produce onions which mature earlier than those raised from seed. For several years I have made it a rule to plant a small pitch iu the garden to onions from which I grow top sots. I sell the onions early iu the spring to local village dealers for ten to seven teen cents a pound. In one instance I secured thirty-hvo pounds of top sets from one-fourth bushel of onions planted. 1 sold theso the next spring for hftcen cents a pound. If 1 had given them proper care I would haw obtained at least one-third large! yield. As soon as the frost is out of the ground in spring, plant in rows nbout two feet apart, and from eight to ten inches apart in tho row. Onlj good sound onioDs of unifortr size and good quality should be used. ilicy must have been raised the year before from seeds, 01 onion sets. Plant very shallow, so the top of the onions will show above gronnd. Keep perfectly free from weeds while growing. After the top sets have matured fully, gather and store in a dry cool place. Do not al low them to freeze in winter. It ii best to go slow about raising top onion sets for market, nntil a trade has been established. Sometimes 1 have found it necessary to leave the onion sots with the grosery dealer, and let him sell as muoli of them as he could, with tho privilege to return any that ne could not dispose of. liy taking goods at his store in exchange for them, ho made no charges for sell ing the sets.

A lady who owns a fine cactus once had an Italian workman 10 the house making some repairs foi her. Noticing her flower, he asked il she had ever heard of the medieinal quality of its leaves. She was further told that iu Italy it was commonly understood that the leaves of a caotus, split and spread, the open side down, upon a bruise or wound, would quiokly heal it. Not long after one of the lady's children full prey to a usual juvonile aooident aud was badly bruised. His mother thought of and tried the split cactua leaf, aud found it as eihoaoious as the Italian had said, It very speedily relieved and healed the swolen and disoolored surface oi the hurt flesh and akin.

There are seventy-tlve thousand drunk ards going down to their graves every year. If this is what drink will do. what will you do? We cannot sit down and fold our hands.
