ABoRTIoN.-The New York cores
pendent of the Springfield Republican
uses the following plain language in
regard to an alarming evil Of the
times:
The prevalence ofabortion among the
upper classes is another sign of the
times, 1t is practiced everywhere,
except among Roman Catholics, as
the church threatens all persons who
allow il with the pains Of purgatory,
There seems TO be q universal opin-
ion, said my informant, that under q
certain time, to commit abortion is
not wrong, and physicians are con-
stantly urged to afford relief" The
cause Of the wide extent of this evil
is Discrimination to have the trouble
of barring orrasing children, and the
only remedy for it is for the clergy
or other authorized agents to de-
nounce its immortality. This the
Protestant clergy have not as yet
done, but their squeamishness must
be overcome, or we shall never sue
coed in checking this growing sin.
Medical opinion is clear and unani-
nous in asserting that abortion and
murder are one and the same thing,
and, therefore, the clergy should not
hesitate to do their duty,

practice of giving shot for bilious
collie His method is, to take No. 5
shot, after carefully washing them

that in five or six hours the vomiting
ceases. The Editors Of the " Pacific

the following anecdotc, illustrative
of this treatment 49, A Clergyman
was taken very sick and stopped at
the house Of a good old lady, who
was familiar with the treatment, who
stated that she had no shot, but a
bullet which would answer the pur-
pose. She gaveit TO the divjle, who,
after being assuredlof its great. etlica-
cy, swallowed it, and to bfs JOY and
surprise found that in a very short
time he was entirely believed ofthe

some doubt TO the /old lady about

THE HERALD.
HARVESTING POTATOES

However early, potatoes should be
dug as soon as the vines are dry.
There is nothing gained by letting
them lie in the ground unless they
have been previously attacked by
disease. In this case we have always
found it better to leave them in the
hin until the diseased ones have de-
cayed. 1t often prevents them from
imparting the rot to the sound pota-
toes. They should be placed in
heaps in the field after digging, to
sweat and cure, giving them COW
cring of straw and earth to prevent
water from soaking in. Ventilation,
however, should be attended to. This
may be accomplished by placing
good sized wisps of strw extending
from the ground above the apex of
the heap. In digging by hand, throw
two rows together, and when dry
enough to put into heaps, pick up
the merchantablo ones first, and
small ones afterward, putting each
sort into seperate heaps. The small
potatoes do not increase the measure
much, and they do hurt the sale very
materially. If potatoes are scarce,
the small ones may be planted, you
have been in the habit Of saving seed
only from choice ones. Our plan is
to select only medium sized, smooth
fair potatoes for seed, and plant the
small snes in time of scarcity with
the market crop. By this means
you will not only improve the yield,
but the quality Of tubers also. Pota-
toes for eating should be kept in q
dry, dark condition. But for seed
we have found them better for con-
siderable exposure to the air either in
the Fall or Spring. If one has four
or more acres to dig each year, it is
cheaper to buy an implement for
throwing them out by horse power.
There are now several plows for
digging potatoes, they are really eff
cient ranging in price from twenty
to thirty dollars-with land dry and
in good condition for working, and
the crop should only be gatheredwhen
the land Is in condition. They may
be gathered, with q good digger, for
about one half what it costs to DO it
by hand alone. --IMcri0r.

ERRORS OF YOUTH.
A Curious InyCniion-A New Way Of
Seeing Through Men.

IL has been popularity supposed that the
interior machinery of n mans body was
entirely his own property, and safe from
the eyes of prying medical operators, 80
long AZ the owner retained life enough to
protest against the invasion OF his inner
sanctuary. The blood-thirsty surgeon has
had full swing to inspect and hack and hew
the external organs and castings OF human
ity, and TO guess Mt the internal apparatus
by wise inspection OF the pulse and tongue;
but now steps up here II learned man, with
a formidable looking machine, with which
he peers right through the walls OF this
earthly tabernacle, and sees the delicate
mechanism of the stomach, the lungs
and tho heart in full operation. The
inventor calls his machine the 'Oculum, "
or the electro-mico telescope, and explains
its operation something thus: II rs pos
sible through proper apparatus. 10 charge
light into and produce transparency
through the cuticle, lining and intervening
tissues covering thoraCic and abdominal
cavities, by means of electricity-the Gle
ment which We call Transparency depend.
lug upon the degree Of combustion and Il
strong application Of electricity being able
to concentrate and transmit light from one
body to another, as we charge n sponge
with water, or u piece Of steel with mag
netism. This is the abstract theory and
the inventor demonstrates it by his appa-
ratus containing powerful lenses through
whose magniiying power the observer looks
through the walls of the body when the
subject has become charged with electricity
by means of a battery connected with the
machine. The medical men who have ex-
AHMED the invention admit there is much
that is remarkable in it, but shake their
heads over tho idea that it il practically
important; but the inventor observes with
pity hat they do not comprehend it just
as an unski led observer through II great
telescope is disappointed in seeing only n
speck OF light when he looks at a star, but
is sure that it is to produce a revolution in
medical art. Certain it il that, although
his enterprise is of recent date, his rooms
are thronged with patients, He under
takes to :" cure by contract r. and that Mt.
tracts many sufferers who are ready to
catch at any straw that promises them
health,
