REVIVIFICATION OF POTASH.

There is nothing novel in the observa-
ton of Prof. Gelhen, that Potash again
forms spontaneously in drawn ashes; "
nor is Dr. Dana's estimate Of the contents
of Ieached ashes, in which are found
phosphoric acid, lime, magnesia, oxide of
iron, manganese, &c; substances all useful
in the growth of plants, at all antago>
nstIc to this principle. 1t is well known
that the natron or saitpetre beds of the
East Indies, which consist of banks of
earth that have been turned over and liz
iviated for ages, are found, after a given
period, to have become again rich as ever
in alkaline productions, which must have
formed spontaneously /; the careful wash
ing, under the superintendent Of scien-
tlfic men and professors, sent for the ex-
press purpose from England, scarcely
warranting the supposIion that there is
one pound, or even one ounce of al
kali left IN each busheI of the earth, after
the operation of teaching has been gone
through. In the revolutionary war be-
tween England and France, when the lat
ter power was deprived of the means of
obtaining supplies of saltpetre for the fab
rication of gunpowder, the officers of the
government were accustomed 10 visit the
cellars of houses and take samples of the
clustering, removed from the walls for the
purpose, which were sent to the Chemical |
Laboratories for analysis; and when found |
to produce on IixiViation a given quantity |
of neutrality-suspicious. were sent
to scrape the walls, without consent of
their owners, replastering them in return.
And although it was not always that the |
yield of alkali was sufficient to warrant |
the cost of lixIviatlon, it was only to wait |
for a time, aud on further trial it was found |
TO have formed spontaneously" and to
have reached the desired point of alkaline
product, when they were scraped, sans
and the contents sent to the re-
ineries, were soon changed to that villain
Gus compound article, Gunpowder, nor
was there any difficulty in procuring suf>
icent for their mnrderous purposes, by
those and other domestic means of manu-
facture. r. |.

TRANSPORTING CATTLE.-The Amer
lean Railroad Journal calls attention to
some interesting railroad statistics m a
late British periodical. 1t is there stated
that the saving on the cattle, sheep, and
swine, in 1916, by transporting them on
railways instead of driving them as for
merly, was Al, 100000 pounds and that
the feed saved by the same change, was
100000 pounds-which alone would
sustain population of over 50, 600 peo-
pie.

"THERE IS No NIGHT THERE"
This pilgrimage land has is darkness and storms
Which cast DER our spirits gloom,
Whose strong, ruthless power depresses the heart
From which We in vain sadly struggle TO part;
Il points rs, and leads 10 the tomb.
And is there land where the light of the day
Forever illumincs its face
Where spirit untrammelcd may speed on its
way,
Where love, JOY and beauty can never decay,
And the soul is lighted by grace
say, is there land that's all clouGless, serene
- here stars could no glory impari,
where souls that are pure may in innocence
bloom,
Cnseathed by affection, unawed by the tomb,
Where truth Is the voice of the heart?
Yes :hcre is land without darkness or night,
lis the home of the blessed above,
There sririt immortal may spread its bright wing.
And in light uncreated" eternaily sing
OF truth. Of forgiveness and love
g There is no night there" nor is there evil and
gloom,
Eor lovers of darkness come near,
Adycrsity's frown invades not their long day,
Berearements and pain are all left with the clay,
And " love casteth out every fear"

Though with pain we babe them farewell,

ADVICE IN POULTRY KEErING-The
principles upon which l rely for success
in keeping hens, are, list, to have two
brceds-a few TO hatch and rear the chick
ems, and twice the number of everlasting
layers, as eggs are more profitable than
chickens; ID, to get hatch as early as
possible in spring, and to keep them well ;
these never cast their feathers like the old
birds, and if they begin to lay in autumn,
lay more or less all winter Sd, never to
keep old fowls (none but favorlte fowls
ought to he kept more than two years y
old birds lay larger eggs than pullets, but
not nearly so many; 4th, to give them the
best barley l could get, and as much as
they could pick up once day, in summer.
and twice in winter they are not only
more profitable, well kept, but the eggs
are better. The two breeds like best
are the spotted Dorkings for sitting, and
the pheasant breed for laying.-Agricul>

the reasons for the delay, aud the names

He deeply regretted that such pro-
posa should have emanated from any
political party, or from any section of the
province, The darkest day for Canada
would be that on which the last of the
British troops should leave her shores.
He trusted that he should never see that
day, and he believed the sentiments he

every Hon. Memberin the House.
This speech was received with loud
cheers from all quarters of the House
and Mr. Blake is one of the disatiected
party.

TOBACCO A CURE FOR CHoLERA.-Dr.
John w. Moore states, in Mobile paper
that he cured one hundred or more of ex-
treme cases of Cholera, not losing one, by
the use Of tobacco. He administered it
in the form of an enama, of the strength
ofone drachm to pint. He first tried it
upon negro, whose pulse was gone; his
tongue was cold, and his muscles so rigid
that he rested only on his head and heels.
In FIVE minutes he was relieved, and the
cure perfected by drinking a decoction
of sena. In his own case, DR.. Moore
took into his stomach spoonful of the
tobacco decoction, with perfect relief
from cramp and diarrhea. He has no
doubt but that cholera may be as easily
managed, as the fevers of our country.
