T.) Democrat. Kib: On the first day of Joxe, 1881, 1 lay at my residence la this city sur rounded by my friends and waiting for death. Heaven only knows the agony 1 then endured, for words can never describe it And yet. if a few years previous any one had told me that I was to bo brought so low, and by so terrible a disease, I should have scoffed at the idea. I had always been uncom monly strong and healthy, and weighed over "200 pounds, and hardly knew, in my own experience, what pain or sick ness were. Very many people who will read this statement realize at times they are unusually tired and cannot ac count for it. They feel dull pains in various parts of the body and do not understand wty. Or they are exceed ingly hungry one day and entirely with out appetite the next. This was just the way I felt when the relentless mal ady which Lad fastened itself upon mo first began. Still I thought nothing of it; that probably I had taken a cold which would soon pass away. Shortly after this I noticed a heavy, and at times neuraJgic, pain in one side of my head, but as it would come one day and be gone the next, I paid kttle attention to it. Then mj 6tomach would get ont of order and my focd ofUoi failed to direst, causing; at unies cieat 111 con venience. Yet. even as a physician, I did not think that these things meant anything serious. X fancied I was suf fering from milaria and doctored myself accordingly. But I got no better. I next noticed a peculiar color and odor about the fluids 1 was passing also that there were large quantities one day and very little the next, and that a per 6iafeni froth and scum appeared upon the surface, and a sediment eettled And yet I did not realize my danger, for, indeed, seeing these symptoms con tinually, 1 finally became accustomed to them, and my suspicion was wholly disarmed by the fact that had no pain in the afl'ected organs or in their vicinity. Why I shonld have been so blind I cannot understand. I consulted the best medical ekill in the land. I visited all the famed min eral springs in America and traveled from iliino to California. Sstill I grew worse. 2o two physicians agreed as tc my malady. Oae said I was troubled with spinal irritation, another, dyspep sia; another, heart disease; auotlier, general debility; cnother, congestion ol the base of the brain; and so on through a long list of common diseases, the symptoms of many cf which I really Lad. In this way several years pissed, during which time I was steadily grow-, ing worse. My condition had really be come pitiable. The slight symptoms I at first experienced were developed into terrible and constant disorders. My weight had been reduced from 237 tc 130 pounds. My Lfe was a burden tc mvself and friends. I could retain nc food on my stomach, and lived wholly by injections. I was a living mass ol pain. My pnlso was uncontrollable. It my agony I frequently Tell to the fiooi and clutched the carpet, and prayed fot death 1 Morphine had Utile or no tffeci in deadening the pain. For six dayi and nights I had the death-premonitory hiccoughs constantly 1 My water wat fiiled with tube-casts and albumen. J was struggling with Eright's Discaso o! the kidneys iu its last stages ! While suffering tuns I received a cat from my pastor, the Eev. Dr. Faote. al that time rector of St Paul's Episcopa church, of this city. 1 felt that it waf our last interview, but in the course ol conversation Dr. Foote detailed to mt the miny remarkable cures of cases likt my owu'wLiok Lad come under his ob servation. As a practicing physic'iai and a graduate of the schools, I Uerideu the idea of any medicine outside the regular channels b:ing in tne least htneliciiL So solicitous, however, was Dr. f oote, that I finally promised 1 would waive my prejudice. I bean itf use on tbe firet day of June, 1SS1. and took it according to directions. At first it sickened me; but this I thought was a g od sign for one in my debilitated condition. I oontiuueJ to take it; the sickening sensation departed and I wat finally aOk to retain food upon mj stotcasli. Ia a few days I noticed a de cided change for the lettor, as aUo did my wi'o and friends. My hicsoashs ceased and I experienced less pain that formerly. 1 was so rtjoiced at ttiis im proved condition that, upoa what I had Le!ivel I ut a few days before was mj dying bed, I vowed, in the presence ol my family nDd friends, should I recover i would both pubiia'.y and privately make known this remedy for the good of Immunity, wherever and whenever I had an opportunity, and this letter is in fu.'lilment of that vow. aiy improve ment was constant from that time, ana in )e-s than three months I Lai gaiiieJ 2(J pounds in flesh, became entirely fret from pain and I believe I owe my lift and present condition wholly tc Warner's safe cure, the remedy which 1 Ufed. Since my recovery I Lava thoronghlj re-iuvestigated the subject of kidiiej difficulties and Eright's disease, aud the truths developed are astounding. 1 therefore state, deliberately, and as s physician, thut I believe more than oncha'f the tilths vchich occur tr. America, arc caused by B right diseast of the kidntg. This may sound like a rah btatemeut, but 1 am prepared tc verify it fuliy. Bright's disease bat no distinctive features of its own, (.in deed, it often develops without an; patn whatever iu the kidneys or their vicinity), but his the symptoms ol Dearly every other common complaint Hundreds of people die dally, whose burials are authorised by a physician" eertiCcato as occurring from "Heart Disease," "Apoplexy," "Paralysis, ' "Spinal Complaint," "Eheumatism," "I'neumcnia." and the other common complaints, when in reality it la from Bright's disease of the kidneys. Few byeicUbTs, and fewer pejplo, realise the extent of this disease or its dan gerous and insidious nature. It steal into the system like a thief, manifests its presence, if at all by the commonest symptoms end fastens itself iu the con stitution before tbe victim is aware o! it It is nearly as hereditary as con sumption, quite as common and fully as fatal. Entire families, inheriting it from their ancestors, Lave died, and yet none of the number knew or realized the mysterious power which was removing them, instead 01 com mon symptoms it often shows none ; whatever, but brings death Buddeniy, from convulsions, apoplexy or heaM disease. As one who has suffered, and know by bitter experience what he says, 1 implore every one who reads these words cot to neglect tbe slightest Bvmptoms of kidney diffiuity. No ont can sflord to hazard such chances. , I make the foregoing statement- basexl upon facts which I can snbstan tiato to the letter. The welfare ol those who may possibly be suffeiera scch as 1 was is an ample inducement for me to take the step I have, and il l can successfully warn others from tht oi dangerous path in which I onoe walked, I am willing to endure all the profess ional and personal consequences.

"now is that for an elephant?" said an artist, taking a green cloth from a cl:iy model of an elephant about twelve inches in length. ''Yes, it is small," Le continued, "but tliat's just the great point in its favor. See the bone," he continued, taking up a small object from a table '-the real bone of the ele phant I am niakinjr a model of. It was the famous, recently discovered pytrmy elephant f Eunie. Some months ago a iiartv of French geologists, rambling through Italy, came upon great num bers of these bones, and soon identified teem as a race of elephants that were pocket editions, so to speak. The Linrwt were not so large as our sheep, and in the adult form, or old ag?, much smaller than any of the liaby elephants that have been exhibited in this coun try. Their young in turn were ele phants in miniature, being nixmt as large as a small cat, and could easily have been held upon the open palm. Ileitis of thc-se pygmies were undoubt edly captured by early man, and if the circus was in existence then we can im agine a rare entertainment. What a trouise of elephants could have been marshaled in. First would apjiear the grat mammoth, with his long coat of liair; then the dinotherium, with its in curved tusks; the gigantic gangesa. lYoiii India, with its small Lead and enormous tusks extending fourteen feet in front, and finally, last, but not least, tho pygmies and their young, arousing the enthusiasm of the throngs of young cave-dwellers. "The pygmies, as far as known, reii resented two distinct sjiecies, known to science as K'niUas mdittatsis and E. fa'cmieri, and their remains are found over a wide geographical area, showing that thc-y bail an extended range. In the second book of the 'JEneid' Virgil 11. ites a tradition to effect that Sicily was at one time a art of the mainland and it is now believed by many that long ago 1 talv was connected with Africa '. a neck of lan I. and that Malta and other placid, now islands, wer a part of it. Over this ancient bridge the pygmy elephants are supposed to have made their vav into Jjiroiie. where their tracks can be traced in many localities. In .Malta most of the skeletons have been found, while others have Ikvii dis covered in various parts of Italy, and among other remains in many parts of Kurotie. There were real pygmies, while the so-called dwarf elephants of to-dav are merely elephants whose growth Las lieen retarded in some nat ural or artificial manner. "The pyguit s. however, were not all elephants, as at this tune pygmy norses roamed the slows and vallevs ot .North America. They were the ancestors of our pre.eiit lior-x. and their remains hae U-en found in such quantities that liio:etluin twenty different kinds have !hvu recognized. The smallest of these pygmy horses was about as large as a fox, and differed considerably from our present horse. It lived in what Las U-en termed the eocene time, and is called the eohippus. Instead of w alk ing on the tip of a single toe or hoof, as does the horse of t.vdav, it had four Wi'Il-devoloiH'd toes and a rudimentary fifth. In a later bed of this same time is found the orohippus a pygmv hors with four erfcct toes iu front and three I-ehinil. A great manv ages later, 111 the beds of the mioecne time, bones of the mesohippus appear. Iheuthe horse was as large as a sheep equaling in size the pygmv elephant. Its feet were still divided, as it had three toes and the .iplint of another in each foj-e-foot, and three toes behind. Following this came other forms, as the anchitheuritu; then the nipjKirion, as large as a donkey, and finally the pliohippus, with a single toe on each foot, is found the direct ancestor of our great horse of to-day, in the feet of which, if one carefully ex amines, are to be found rudimentary splint bones that are the representatives of the toes that were fully developed m the ancient forms. In Yale College a very complete set of these strange horses from the pygmy form of long ago to the horse of to-day, can be seen, the result .f the researches in the far West of Prof. .Marsh, "A few months ago a pygmy whale was washed ashore on the .New Jersey coast, and was sent to the National Mu seum. In apjeanmoe it resembled the enormous finback, but instead of being sixty ot eighty feet in length and weigh ing several tons, it measured only nine feet in length, and was accoinjiaiiicd by a baby pygmy that was a little over a toot long. The pygmy whales properly Ul iiig to the Pacific Ocean, and are often seen on the California coast, but this specimen probably strayed around the Horn, and with ierhaps a few com panions wits wandering about the At lantic, or, as some one suggested, wait ing for the canal through the Isthmus for a short cut home. Among the birds there is a pigmy quail a delicate little creature, so small that tho ancient Chinese used to warm their hands in cold weather by carry ing a bird in each closed palm. Among the quadrupeds the pygmy deer is jer Laps the most interesting, and when seen it seems a perfect antel'pe in min iature. It is the cfphaloplfrus nnvtus, aud is confined to South America a most delicate and fragile little creature, leing hardly twelve inches in length. The head is long and itoiiited, the ears short aud the horns like toy ones, and very delicate and slender; lieing less than two inches in height, highly polish ed and jet black. "tuite as much of a pygmy is the Sultana antelope: found In the hilly re gions of Abyssinia. Its height at the shoulder is only fourteen inches; the horns are exceedingly thin and about four inches long. The young of these midgets of the hoofed tribe are beauti- fill little creatures, those of theanteloie lieing aliout eight inches long when bora, and with their soft-colored fur, delicate pii-stem limbs, large and ex pressive eyes, they are, perhaps, the most attractive of any of the minute an imals. I have," continued the artist. nearly all the interesting creatures in my collection, ami when placed together they present a striking and interesting apioaraiice, telling a story of the curious modifications to which the various forms of life are subject. I am going to make a model of each one for a private mu seum, and they are to be placed in con tr.ist with the giants. Thus the pygmy whale will bo placed beside the right whale, the small elephant next to the giant mammoth, and so on in this way the great extremes of life are shown at a glance. T!ce calculating machine invented by Protessor Thomson appears to excel, in its ingenious adaptation to a variety of results, even Babbage's wonderful apparatus. By means of the mere fric tion ot disk, a cylinder and a ball, the machine is capable of effecting numer ous complicated calculations which occur in the highest application of mathematics to physical problems, and by its aid an unskilled person may. in a given time, perform tbe work of ten expert mathematicians. The machine is applicable alike to the calculating of tidal, magnetic, meteorological and other periodic phenomena ; it will solve differential equations of the second or even higher powers or orders; and through this same wonderful arrange- ment of mechanical parts tbe problem unuing me iree motions or any num ber of mutually attracting particles. unrestricted by any of the approximate suppositions required in the treatment of tbe lunar and planetary theories, is done by simply turning a handle. vsrKvstvvTyf!jjjfi FARM If OTES. Loamy Soils contain not more than 50 per cent, nor less than 30 per cent, of clay and not more than 5 per cent, of lime and of humus, the remainder being land and other material. Such a soil would be strong loam and if well drained would be a good one for all lands and arable crops, as it could be fairly well worked and at the same time would be very retentive of solvent fer tilizers. Sandy loams contain not more than 30 nor less than 20 per cent, of clay, and not more than 5 per cent, of lime and humus. Sandy loams form excellent garden soils and when well manured will produce large crops of vegetables and much earlier than strong clay soils. Sandy soils, however, have not the capillary powers of the strong clays, and as a consequence, are liable to suffer, from drouth. Loamy sands contain not more than 20 nor less than 10 per cent, of clay and not more than 5 of lime or of humus. They are too porous for the growth of good fruit trees and for many arable purposes, but when deep, and on a firm subsoil, they may be made very productive by adding clay and also carboniferous matter in the shape of limited muck and barn yard manure ; after such an ameliora tion, potatoes, carrots, beets, turnips and alfalfa might be expected to do well. Seasonade II 1 x ts. Kemember that milk is a powerful absorbent and loves bad company. It immediately affiliates with its worst enemy. It will "take a blemish from the breath of love aud bear the blight forever." As long as the surrounding air is colder than the milk there is comparatively little dancer of the milk absorbing bad odors, which accounts for miik escaping when kept a long time in Uie statue ; but so soon as the milk gets colder than the surrounding air the moisture of the a:r begins to condense into me mils like dew on a glass of ice water, thus depositing all of the impurities of the air into the milk. Thus if tbe milk room becomes very cold at night and the air outsiJe warms up considerably during the day, it will be bad practice to throw the w indows open, especially if the air is stirring in a direction that leads from the stable lot to the milk room.

A nother place where care is needed is at the sides of the nail, where it leaves the fingers.

' " ' " "-r-rTrT7rrrn-7'T,r-T-rii(ii uiiin n MREfJEOY The veterinary surgeons are discuss ing a new method by which a wounded horse may be killed without resorting to tbe old and inhuman practice of using a gun or an ase. A successful experiment was recently tried by Dr. L. A. Anderson of Covington, Ky. He was called to examine a horse in the southern portion of Covington. He found the brute suffering with a con tagions disease. He recommended that he be killed. The owner said he wanted Uie horse put to death with as little suffering as possible and asked Dr. An derson's advice as to the best method. The doctor recommended the same plan bv which he killed a horse for a gentle man on Prince Hill last spring, which was by introducing air into the jugular vein. The horse was taken to a con venient place, and then pressure was made on the jugular vein, and a small instrument called a trocar, with a shield on the outside was plunged di rectly into the jugular vein. The part that made the puncture was withdrawn and the tube left In the vein, and air was then blown into the tube by tiie doctor. The air following the bl od directly to the heart, produced clot or coagulation, suspended tie hearts action and caused an almost instant and painless death, similar to a fatal case of heart disease. In the case at Coving ton, as soon as the clot was formed the animal dropped slowly on his side and breathed heavily for a few seconds and then expired without any apparent pain. There wss quite a large number of persons present to witness the opera tion. This plan was Introduced into veterinary science a few years ago. but there has seldom been a successful test case cf it. jlfr. James Fearson. F. E. A. S , states that a singular circumstance takes place in the tides of the Lolent, the narrow channel separating the Isle of Wight from England. The first tide arrives from the westward and brings high water, after which it begins to ebb. But soon after this, the portion of the tide which had been circulating round the Isle ofJWigbt finds its way into the same basin, and tho water be gins to rise again, thus exhibiting the phenomena of four tides in a day. The expression of the eyes of persons killed by violence is considered an im portant matter in criminal jurispru dence, but its value has been greatly lessened by reason of its evanescent nature. A French scientist hai found a means of restoring the life-like ex pression. It consists in applying a few drop3 of glycerine and water to the cornea. A remnant of the gieat forests which once covered the south of Swf den was recently dug out of a bog at Kmneved consisting of a boat six feet m diameter hollowed out of a log. The tree lroui n hich the boat was formed must have leeu at lea; t 20 feet in circumference. The wood, which was very hard, bad assumed a blue color. The boat was so heavy that two bullocks could not dranr it. .i o recent leature Frof. Flower, F. R. S., remarked that the whales of our time are the largest of known creaturer. past or present.
