mars, they had failed to improve in the
use of them. The English were not a
religious people, for ten millions of them
never saw the inside of church, and
their clergy were not religious teachers,
for they were placed in their positions
by accident, the younger sons of aristo-
cratic families being put into the pulpit
simply to get living. l have come,
said he, to tell you the truth. England
is gigan ic sham. There are seven
millions of men in England, and six mil
lions have no vote, and the one million
who do vote are bought and sold He
next alluded to the Difference which this
country paid to England in matters of
Legislation, which he characterized as
unmanly. While humanity in Asia is
but an infant, in Europe a scLoolboy, it

VALUE OF SHELTER For SHEEP-Wm. II.
I.add, one of the best farmers of the State
OF ONO, who has given especial attention
To sheep. gives the following careful esti-
mate, IN the OHIO Farmer, of the value of
shelter to sheep, suggested by the remark
OF IL neighbour that it won't nav to build
shelter for sheep" This neishbor kept 900
head, and lost many animals, and it is from
his losses that part of this estimate is
made.
Let me make some very low estimates in
reference to the loss occasioned by this
treatment in thirty years. First, if the
sheep sheared two pounds of wool per head
under this treatment, they would have shorn
three pounds had they received good care
Second, one pound difference per head on
1000 sheep makes 1000 pounds; 1000
pounds i'll 30 years, at 40 cents per pound,
$4,000. 1t is u very low estimate, count
ing sheep at the lowest common price, that
a flock of 1000 sheep should yield $500
worth of surplus stock to sell tack rear
this i'll so years amounts to S15, 200. Feed
saved by shelter, say 5000 each year, worth
IN 30 years $4,000; simple interest at 6 per
cent, on amount saved in so years, $50, $50 ;
difference of the value of stock on hand at
the end of 30 years, 900; value of shell
tiers to the proprietor at the close of 30
years, 81 900 =; amount saved, SGj, Co.,
Per contra-shelters cost say $4,000; addi-
tional grain fed, say $500 each year, in 80
years $4,000; interest as above, SIG, $50 !;
for keeping shelter in repair, 81 ,00O-total,
So, $50. Difference in favor of shelters
and good care, 1913, 1870. Don't look at this
as fancy sketch it is reality, and the
only incorrectncss about it is, that the esti-
mated Difference in favor Of good keeping is
in every particular below the realty.

Lecture by George Francis Train.

We make the following ex.rac from
a Ice ure delivered in Boston, a few
weeks ago, by George Francis Train:
He began by saying, " Thank God, |
am again in civilized country thank
God, am again in Chris ian land"
To the cheers in response to these express
sions he said, /" Pass them over to where
they belong, TO the flag of our country"
(pointing to the flags in his rear.) He
asked how it was that Americans had
gained the impression that England was
superior to US, and that her opinions
should be listened to wi h profound
Difference? lie desired to know who had
enslaved the American people to Eng
land And in answering it he said we
were the most modest people on the face
Of the earth, deferring to the judgment
and opinions of England, while we were
far ahead of that country in religion,
morals, and everything which makes a
people. Such debasins Difference should
be at once and forever cast aside. He
said that the present war was worth
millions to us, and 1t needed only to last
two years longer to make us entirely
independent of that country, or Of the
opinions of its people. The claim that
England was our mother country was
unfounded, and she had no more right to
the title than any other of the nations of
Europe. Not only were the Americans
not the same people, they did not speak
the same language, nor worship the same
God in the same way. As evidence Of
greater purity of language in this
country, he referred to the numerous
dialects, and the use of language in Eng
land which no American could under
stand, while no Englishman need be at a
loss to understand an American anywhere,
and this, he said, he often told the Eng
lish, and that although we had furnished
them with superior dictionaries and gram

THE HIGHEST BALLOON ASCENSION
Glaisbcr, the celebrated scientific savan, and
Mr.. Coxwell, the daring aeronaut at Lon
don, recently assembled in balloon to the
almost incredible height of six miles. The
observations of the former will prove most
valuable to science, but both gentlemen had
a narrow escape from destruction. Mr..
Glaisber became totally insensible at about
the fifth mile, but Mr.. Coxwell went on un-
til his hands were frozen, and he was just
able to pull the cord attached to the valve
with his mouth, and thus cause the balloon
to dcccnd. Mr.. Glaisber says there is no
more to be learned, and that certain death
must ensue if an attempt is made to reach u
aycatcr height.

I welcome you, my gallant boys from

Connecticut wheels into line at rolling of the

And little Rhody springs to arms like David

Upon rcbclon's giant front to strike one
blow for right;
One blow for right, my hero boys, for right

Strike, and receive the blessings Of the God

From Delaware there comes a CLEAN of white

Where faithful hands are holding up the

Each grain of sand had said, we come, three
hundred thousand more,
We come to strike for liberty, for right and
Uncle Sam,
Who gives us all the blessing of the God of

And Pennsylvania, keystone of this glorious

Is sounding through her thousand caves the

And like the clouds along her hills swift

Their eyes have such a fiery CLEAN from

I think when on Secession head they strike

Each blow will fall like vengeance from the

SCALDs AND BURNS TAILS JournaL
ct Hcalfh, gives US The following advice
on the treatment of scalds and burns -
On the instant of the accident, plunge
the part under cold water. Tkfis re-
lieves the pain in a second, and allows
all hands to become composed. If the
part cannot be kept under water, cover
1t over with dry flour, an inch or more.
In both cases pain ceases because the
air Is excluded. In many instances
nothing more will be needed after the
-four; simply let it remain unul it falls
OFF, when new skin will be found
under. In severer cases, while the part
injured is under water, simmer leek or
Two in an earthen vessel, wi h half their
bulk of hogs lard, until the lecks are
soft, then strain through muslin rag.
This makes greenish-colored ointment,
which, when cool, spread thickly on a
linen clio h aud apply it to the injured
part. If there are blisters, let out the
water. When the part becomes feverish
and uncomfortable, renew the ointment,
and rapid, painless cure will be the
result, if the patient, i'll the meanwhile,
lives exclusively on fruits, coarse bread,
and other light, loosening food.
If the scald or burn is not very severe
that is, if it is not deeper than the
outer skin-an ointment made of
sulphur, with lard enough to make it
spread stiffly on linen rag, will be
etiectual. The leck ointment Is mos
needed when there is ulccra ion from
neglected burns, or when The injury is
deeper than the surface. AS this oint-
ment is very healing and 500 hing in the
troublesome excavations of children, and
also in foul, indo.cns ulcers, and is said
10 be efficacious in modifying or prevent
ing altogether The pitting of small pox-
it would answer a good purpose if fami-
lies were to keep it on hand for emer-
gencics--the sulphur ointment for
moderate cases, and the leek ointment
III those of greater severity, Or of a
deeper nature.

TREATMENT OF CRoup.-Hall's Jour-

it is important to keep the clothing as

phlegm is loose, the child is easier, and

dry flannel over the wet one which is

child is saved. When it wakes up,
both fannels will be dry.
