IMPROVED IN
QUALITY AND CONDITION.
The quality of this Guano is materially i'm
proved this season by the addition to its compo-
siton of large per cent. of the
SALTS OF POTASH.
1t is improved in condition by being brought
into market sufficiently dry and uniformly fine
to pass with facility and regularity through the
orifces of the
WHEAT DRILL.
More than ST. 900, 900 is involved in the produce
ton of this Guano, and the trade in it has stead
lily increased, until now it far exceeds that of any
other fertilizer
The Pacific Guano Company has far greater
interest in the maintenance Of the quality of it's
Guano than any number of consumers can have;
hence no apprehension need exist as to its contn-
ued excellence.

To the Martyrs Of Liver Comnla;n+

Among the wonderful medical properties which
have rendered Hostetter's Stomaeh Bitters pre-
eminent among the health restoring preparations
OF the age, its antbilious virtues are not the least
remarkable. No words can do justice to its mar
velous effect upon the diseased liver. Perhaps
the simple words Of convalescent sufferer, who
describes it as going right to the spo,' tell the
story as clearly rs may be. 1t does go right to
the spot. 1t operates directly upon the isordered
organ, and whether unduly active or in state of
paralysis, restores it to condition of health.
The Sickness at the Stomach, pain between the
Shoulders and in the Right Side, Yellow Suffusion
OF the Skin, Costiveness, Drowsiness and Ian
guor, Dimness of Sight, Collie, Palpitation of the
Heart, Dry Cough, Low Fever, and other symp-
toms which indicate the various phases of Acute
and Chronic Liver Complaint, are one and all
promptly relieved, and finally removed, by the
action OF this famous preparation, which is at
once the best of correcives the gentlest and most
genial of aperents, an infallible regulator, and
powerful restorative. Persons of a bilious habit.
who use the Bitters as protective medicine will
never suffer the pains and penalties of Liver dis
ease or Bilious Remittent Fever.

A Boy WEEDS His Guardian.

The New Orleans Picayu1e has the fol-
lowing
A few days since a well-dressed and
handsome youth-of some eighteen years of
age appeared before one of our CITY
magistrates and asked if he could engage
MS services to perform marital ceremony.
The reply was in the affirmative and the
young man left, but shortly afterward re-
turned, accompanied by somber-looking
female, middle-aged, and dressed in black.

the magistrate. ~ AZ - Hs~a Z

KalsOmining ParlOr Walls.

~ IT is popular error to believe that the
materials for kalsomining are very ex-
pensive, and also that few men have suf
ficient skill to apply the liquid even after
it has been properly prepared. For this
reason, people are frequently deceived
into paying exorbitant prices for this
kind of work =, Ha-9-a
The materials employed are good clear
glue, Paris white, and water. Paris
white is sold in New York city and
Brooklyn for two to three cents per pound.
Itinerant kalsominers frequently charge
twenty-five cents per pound; they use
nothing but the genuine silver polish,
which is scarce, and very expensive" = \
In case the wall of a large room, say
sixteen by twenty feet square, is to be kali
somined with two coats, it will require
about one-fourth of a pound of light
colored glue and five or sixo pounds of
Paris white. Soak the glue over night, in
tin vessel containing about a quart of
warm water. If the kalsomine lis to be
applied the next day, add pint more of
clear water to the glue, and set the tin
vessel containing The glue into kettle of
boiling water over the fire, and continue
to stir the glue until it is well dissolved
and quite thin. If the glue-pail be placed
in a kettle of boiling water, the glue will
not be scorched. Then, after putting the
Paris white into a large WATERFALL, pour
on hot water, and stir until the liquid ap-
pears like thick milk Now mingle the
glue liquid with the whiting, stir it thor
oughly, and apply it to the wall with a
whitewash brush, or with a paint brush
1t is of little consequence what kind of
an instrument is employed in laying on
the kalsomine, provided the liquid is
spread smoothly. Expensive brushes,
made expressly for kalsomining, may be
obtained at brush factories, and at some
drug and hardware stores. But a good
whitewash- brush, having long and thick
hair, will do very well. In case the liquid
is so thick that it will not flow from the
brush so as to make smooth work, add a
little more hot water. When applying
the kalsomine, stir it frequently. Dip the
brush often, and only so deep in the liquid
as to take as much as the hair will retain
without letting large drops fall to the
floor. If too much glue. be added, the
kalsomine cannot be laid on smoothly, and
will be likely to crack The aim should
be to apply thin layer of sizing that cam
not be brushed off with a broom or dry
cloth. A thin coat will not crack Vest

IA Policy" at Last.


THE Administration of President Grant
was attacked in its early days because, in
the words of dissatisfied Republicans who
were not appointed to Office, at had no
policy" Pretty much the same complaint
was made by the opposition orators and
journals. President Grant was ''imbecile"
and incapable" He could not either origi-
nate great measure or execute what was
marked out for him by wiser men. He was
no Statesman" He was fond Of horses,
did nothing but smoke and go to the sea-
side, abandoning his duties as the head of
a great nation. We were told day after
day that his elevation to the Presidency
was great blunder, and something worse
than blunder No denunciation was too
severe; no epithet too contemptuous.
Nineteen months have passed, and Dem
ocrat and Republican alike have found out
that President Grant has a policy--a policy
which has maintained Republican major
ity in the Forty-third Congress- policy
which destroys the hopes of it's political
opponents and inspires it's friends with
confidence and enthusiasm The country
is just beginning to know and feel that it
has the strongest Administration since that
of Jackson. 1t is policy of law and or
der and good government. 1t means the
collection of the revenue, the payment of
the public debt, the reduction of taxation,
the protection of the working man, the
purity of the ballot box. 1t is a policy
which means that there shall be an end to
treason and rebellion, South as we'll as
North; policy which means that the
country shall be respected abroad, and that
the law shall be supreme at home. 1t
means economy in the administration of
the finances, and the punishment of crime
everywhere. This is the policy which
President Grant has found, and which he

SOME time ago in passing through a
lower portion of Montgomery county, / en-
countered farmer whose long experience
in farming and !, draining interested me
much. He said, speaking of draining,
thatit was. only within few years that he
had been induced to try it, and the little he
had done had wonderfully improved his
land; some that was worthless before, had
turned out excellent crops, and paid the
whole expense in a single year. He was
now engaged in laying more drain, and
should continue to do so whenever he
thought his land required it. - =
His plan for opening the trenches was
as follows; Two burrows were first plowed
along the line of fence, and then after
these were thrown out, two more were
plowed by frightening the chain. When
these were well shoveled out, the trench
was usually 16 inches deep He then re-
moved the front wheels of a wagon and
attached them to strong axle-tree about
10 feet long, and after drawing this astride
the ditch he fastened a yoke of oxen at
each end of the axle, close to- the wheel,
and then fastened the pillow chain to the
middle of the, axle7tree, BY frightening
this chain, he could deepen the trench to
three feet by three more burrows, making
five in all. In nearly allIthe, drains. he
made use of flat stones SO laid as to leave an
opening about eight inches square for the
passage of water After the stones were
carefully placed, he usually threw in two
or three inches of small stones from
the fields and then threw two OF
three burrows into the ditch with the
pillow and long axle-tree, and afterWard
finished the job with shovel b..,,s,., ,sr
During the last seven years he had
drained about five acres in this way, al
what he thoughts very small cost. He had
used tile, but inasmuch, as stones of q
proper kind were plentiful on his farm, he
used them in, preference to the tile, on the
score of economy He usually, made his
trenches 20 inches wide at the top, and
tapered down to one foot at the depth OF
three feet As'ihis land had fall enough
and to spare, he was not very particular
about obtaining an exact level, his only de
sire being that the water should run through
the proper channel. So far all the work
was done by his farm hands, under, his
superintendent, and was done at odd times
and consequently cost comparatively little
My own experience in draining is, that
where judiciously applied and well done
it will pay for itself in at least two years
and place the land in permanently good
condition with the rest and best of the
farm-C0r. Germantown 1sIegrdph. : 'jt

Increase.

A DAUGHTER of Thomas Smith, of Eliza
beth, n j., met with strange accident a
few days ago. The little girl put pebble
in her ear while at play, and it worked in
so far that it was thought the child must
die. AT last the family physician tried the
novel experiment of flooding the head with
water, as much as possible, through the
ear, and pumping it out On the sixth
trial the pebble came with the water, and
the child's life was saved.
