PROGRESS OF THE REvoLUTIoN.-A new
light dawned upon the world with the intro
ductioA OF PLANTATION RTTERs twelve years
ago. Drastic purgation went out-restoration
and renovation came in. The eyes OF the peo
pie were opened TO the great fact that the way
to cure diseases is to strengthen and support
its victims, not to place them at its mercy by
depriving them of the little strength they
have. 1t soon became evident that as means
of iniusing vitality into the feeble system, reg
uating the secrctlors, curing indigestion, and
reforming bilious habit of body, no medi-
ciual preparation then known was at all com
parable to the new restorative. Since then
hundreds of attempts have been made to rival
the Bitters. They have all failed, and the
GRAND REVOLUTION IN MEDICAL TREATMENT,
which was commenced in 1860, is still in pro-
gress. Nothing can stop it, for it is founded
on the principle, now universally acknow-
lodged. that physical viger is the most formid-
able antagonist of all human ailments, and eX-
perence has shown that PLANTATION BITTERs
is peerless invgorant, as well as the best
possible safeguard against epidemic diseases

CosT OF KEEPING Cows.-Prof. Mich
OILS, in his Journal of Chemistry, gives
the cost of keeping twelve COWS as fol-
lows:
1--WE find that the twelve cows con-
sumo in twenty-four hours 212 lbs. of
good upland hay, 60 lbs. of corn and
meal, and 40 lbs. of fine feed. They
drink l20 gallons of water, which is 10
gallons to each COW. The cash value, at
the barn, of the hay consumed $3.50 the
tom is $3.lS, and the meal and feed cost
S2.05. The aggregate cost of tho food
consumed each day is therefore 1928.
That is, the cost per day for each cow
is 43 7-l2 cents, where good hay IS $50
per ton. His calculations are made at
his farm at Lakeside, Haverhill, Mass,
where he comes to the conclusion that
it is not profitable to raise milk, pure
milk, for sale, at cents quart at the
barn, as he shows thus
"The total quantity of milk obtained,
averaging the products of twelve days,
is 96 quarts per day. The price of milk
to milkmen, at the barn, is 5 cents per
quart, which gives the aggregate value
of the products in cash $3.50. This
proves that the cash value of the food
consumed by the herd of cows exceeds
the cash value of the products by 43
cents each day, or in other words, the
actual cost is 43 cents day, not esti-
mating the expense of taking care of
animals, milking, and other expensesin-
cident to a herd of cows"
Referring to the above estimate, the
L
Hampshire, says that with hay at about
$50 per ton, it costs plump half dollar
a day to keep Jersey COW, or any COW
of large size of other breeds. We would
like to see a comparative statement of
the cost of subsisting dairy cows in the
blue grass region.

Different Kinds of Engraving.

Line" engraving is of the highest
order. All great engravings are done
in line simply straight lines. Next
comes line" and "stipple." "Stipple }"
means dots-small dots like this-...--
These small dots are used to tighten
up the high parts of the face or drapery.
1t is very hard to engrave face in lines,
simply, and only master engravers have
ever undertaken it. The masters under
stand and practice both Line" and
" "stipple." Claude Mellan engraved in
100, full head of Christ with one un-
broken line. This line commenced at
the apex of the nose, and wound out and
out like watch spring, until it ended
in the border of the picture. Mezzotlnt
engravings are produced thus: The steel
or copper is made rough like fine sand
paper. To produce soft effects this
rough surface is scraped off. If you
want white place or "high light in
your engraving, scrape the surface
smooth, then the ink will not touch it.
If you want faint color, scrape off lit
tie. Such engravings look like litho-
graphs. Etching is adapted to homely
and familiar sketches. Almost all the
great painters were etchers. Etching is
done thus The copper or steel plate is
heated and covered with black varnish.
The engraver scratches off this yarnish
with sharp needles, working on the sur
face as he would ON paper with a pencil.
Nitric acid is then poured over the plate,
and it eats away at the steel and copper
wherever the needle has scraped off the
varnish. When the varnish is removed
with spirits of turpentine, the engraving
is seen in sunken lines on the plate.

systematizing Mental Labor.

AS g marvellous instance of what
one man may achieve by doing sys-
tematicaly and thoroughly whatever
he undertakes, we cannot do better
than consider the life of Alexander
Won Humboldt. There was no part
of the world he had not visited, and
he had been nowhere without acqlir-
ing the most exact knowledge of the
whole country; its geology, its animal
life, its botany, all its physical charac-
teristics, as well as the the language,
habits, customs, laws, religion, and
history of its people. He led this life
till he was ninety years of age, and
even then no fact in any part of the
world, that had any bearing on scien-
tito trath. escaped his notice. His
mind was museum, where all the
knowledge that had been brought into
the, world was placed in order, care
fully guarded, and always ready for
use. We are not wrong in attribut-
ing the boundless learning and pro-
digious memory of this great man to
his habit of systematizing his mental
labor, and to his power OF self-eon-
centration; aud to his belief In the
wisdom of God.--lScieatifc Americdn
