GOLDEN BITTERs.-"Sweet are the
uses of adversely" so sang a great poet.
Now if adversely can with propriety be
called sweet, certainly HuBBEL's BIT
TIERS can be styled golden; Tor their
uses render them as valuable as gold IN
all cases of Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint,
and the indescribabiy annoying genera
lancuor which often seizes unaware
upon the human system. These Bitters
are in their composition wholly vege-
table: being constituted of gentian
root, calamus, sassafras bark and SINH
lar ingredients. Their universal de-
mand shows the general appreciation In
which they are held. McCabe, Kraft N

Apple Tree. Hearing Alternate Years


In ali old publication called the Farm
er's Cabinet, printed in 1896, which has
been handed us by an esteemed friend
who delights muchi in fruit, we find an
interesting article under the above
canton. II is IA we'll known fact that
some apple trees bear anything like a
full crop only every other year. In the
article referred to, Mr.. LOngfellow de-
tails his experience in which he sue
ceeded in changing this habit in va
riety of Juneatiugs. Having other trees
which also bore alternately, but not in
the same year with the Juneatings, he,
in the bearing year of the latter, took
scions from them and engrafted them
into stocks which would that year be
bearing, and thus he bad Juneatings
every year.
We do not know whether this expert
ment has been sufficiently tried during
the thirty .one years which have since
elapsed, to establish it as q fixed princi-
pie, or whether this system would be at
tended with similar results in any other
variety of apple. We should be glad to
hear from any one who has had expe-
rience in this direction.

Which Half?

Here is an English story of the times, a
bank panic incident, which must not be lost :
In the midst of the late excitement. and ut
the moment when everybody thought all the
banks were going to the dogs together, j ones
rushed into the bank of which he was stock
holder, and thrusting a certificate into the
clerks face, he said, in great haste
Here, please transfer half of that to
James P. Smith,
The clerk looked at it and asked
(Which half Mr.. Jones?'
u don't care which half" replied Jones,
puzzled at the inquiry.
You had better go to the courts can't
make the transfer without legal decision.
If you really wish to transfer your other half
to Mr.. Smith, we cannot do it here"
Jones was confounded. He knew that the
banks We're all in a muddle, but this was too
deep for him. He took his certificate from
the hands OF the smiling clerk, and on look.
ing at it, 10, it was his marriage certificate
Being printed form on fine paper, and put
away among his private papers, it was the
first thing that Mr.. Jones laid hands on when
he went to his secretary for bank stock scrip
He went home, kissed his wife, glad to find
she hadn't been transferred to Mr. Smith
and, taking the right papers this time, hast.

The State Printing.

There is proposition before the legisla-
ture to print several large volumes contain
ing the history of all the Illinois regiments,
with the names of all the officers and men,
and all the particulars concerning each that
are known to the adjutant general. The job
is an immense one. twill take the public
printer several years to execute it, and the
expense all told it is impossible TO estimate
closely, but will not be less than one hun
dred thousand dollars, and perhaps twice
that sum. The bill for paper, printing, and
binding, for the last general assembly, reach,
ed over STAG, 900, and now it is proposed to
throw in this additional work, making the
total expenses for paper, printing and bind
ing this session, not less than 100000.
We are glad to see that the senate has re-
committed this measure, which. under the
guise of doing justice to the soldiers, causes
an enormous printing job. The only sol,
diers to be profted by it are those who do
the printing. The money which it is pro-
posed to squander in this job, might be spent
with far more credit in providing homes
food and clothing for the disabled soldiers
and in providing for the education of the or
phans of those who fell in battle. We en-
dorse every word that Senator Ward said or
this question
Some time ago, there was bill introduced
into the house by Mr.. Parker, of Kankakee
upon the subject of state printing, and look
ing to a reform in its abuses. What has be
come of the measure? Before the Legislature
orders any more hundred thousand dollar
jobs of printing and binding, it would be
well to overhaul and correct the present sys
tenn by which the state printing is contracted
for aud under new system there might be
enough saved in few years to pay for print
ing handsome memorial to the noble ar
mics OF Illinois. Let the legislature take up
Mr.. Parker's bill and pass it Chicago Tri

We learn that General Wilson's plan for
the improvement of the Rock Island rapids
has received favorable consideration from
the house committee on commerce, in con-
asens1 nd nj tha OF thev have agreed to recon-
amounting to $sl3,60O for the performance
OF the work. The plan recommended is. er-
eaoofion Of the channel By means of Golfer
DAMS subaq"eous blasting and chisezing.-
This plan IS deemed more feasible than a
canal round the rapids, which, according to
General Wilson's report, could not be built
for less than three million dollars. The
channel over the rapids, he thinks, is suffi-
GENTLY deep nearly everywhere, and only re-
quires to be widened and Strengthened. and
occasionally deepened. in order to secure
good navigation.
We hope that congress will grant the ap-
preparation recommended without delay, SO
that the long needed work for the improve
ment of the rapids may be commenced, and,
when commenced, pushed to successful
termination.
The report of General Wilson with regard
igation lies not so much in the 5hallowness
Of the channel or thread of the current as in
the unevenness of the bottom, the insufficient
width and tortuous direction, with the great
velocity of cross winds and under-currents-
The plan Of eXcavating the channel would
be exceedingly difficult and would not ac-
complish all that is demanded by commerce
The construction of continuous dam with
locks across the entire stream, and various
notifications OF wing dams, sluices and
chutes for narrowing and deepening the thread
of the current have been suggested and care
fully considered, but all rejected as involving
too many elements of uncertainty, and as be-
ing more or less experimental in their char
acter. He recommends the construction OF
canal along the Iowa shore, from keokuk
to a point ust below Nashville, the remain
der of the distance to be overcome by using
the natural channel at the upper chain. A
trough cut, 200 feet wide, feet deem. and
2,421 feet long, viii be necessary, and the es.
timated dimensions of the canal are length
seven and six-tenths miles surface width.
three hundred feet depth at low water, six
feet. 1t should run along the shore in the
bed Of the river for nearly the entire distance.
The river embankment should be made of
earth, covered inside and outside with rip
raps of broken stone. Two lift locks and
one guard lock will be required. The est.
mated cost of the canal at Montrose Island
is $3,390,000, which will be reduced to about
$2,73O,O00, if the canal be made only fira
feet deep. More than two-thirds of the
amount can be proftably expended before
July, 1868.
The house committee on commerce have
also recommended the appropriation of a
very considerable portion of the amount ask
ed for this important improvement, aud we
hope that the day is not far distant when the
navigation of the Mississippi river, so far as
the rapids are concerned, viii be made pleas
ant, safe and profitable in every possible way,
form or manner.
