Distance of Apple Trees.

EVERY person who starts an apple-or-
chard should be familiar with the natural
forms of growth which the tops of differ
ent varieties assume. When variety
having broad spreading top is planted,
it is desirable to have a tree near it the
branches of which grow more erect. A
committee of the Cincinnati Horticul-
tural Society gives the following classified
ton:
Spreading limbs and round head
Smiths Cider, Maiden's Blush, Baldwin,
Roxbury Russell, Newton Pippin, Tul-
pehocken, Winesap, Broadwell Sweet,
Gravenstein, Jersey Sweeting, Hubbard

Dropping, pendant form; head loose,

How to Sleep.

WE are often asked for prescription
for preternaturally wakeful persons. The
''high pressure" principle on which many
of our business men work their brains
and abuse their bodies, begets an irritable
condition of the nerves, and a morbid
state of mind, very antagonistic to quiet
and refreshing sleep. Such persons will
often 90 to bed weary and exhausted, but
cannot sleep; or sleep dreamily and fit
fully; or lie awake for hours unable to
sleep at ALL We have tried many expedi-
ents to induce sleep with more or less sue
cess, and have read many recipes which
proved better in theory than in practice.
The very best method we have yet discov-
cred is that of counting. Breathe deeply
and slowly without any straining effor0
and, with every expiration count one,
two, three, etc, up to hundred. Some
persons will be asleep before they can
count fifty in this manner. Others will
count ten. twenty, or thirty, and then
forget themself and cease counting. In
such cases always commence again at
once. Very few persons can count hun
dred and find themselves awake; but
should this happen repeat the dose until
cured.-Scsenee Of Health.

Thermometrical Experiments.

THE Providence Journal describes the
following interesting experiments made
in that city with an excellent glass-mount-
cd thermometer:
In the house with open windows, it
stood at 90.2o. Out of doors, in the
shade, at. Sc; freely suspended in the
sun, six feet above the greensword, 99.5o.
In the same position, with wet bulb,
1909 with bulb covered with black
silk, 109.96o. When laid upon the grass
in the sun, it rose to 104o. Laid upon
white cloth, placed upon the grass,
105.0o, and when similarly placed upon
black silk, it indicated 113o.
The experiments with different colored
coverings show very conclusively the
utility of light -colored clothing for those
who are obliged to be exposed to the di-
rect range of the sun at high tempera-
lures; and the experiment with the wet
bulb shows as clearly the value of free
persiration in keeping down the temper.
ature of the body, which, however, the
observer finds in his own person, not
withstanding the perspiration while max
ing these experiments, to have risen to
1905 >, which is about two degrees above
the usual standard for cooler days. The
average temperature of the healthy human
body throughout the year, in temperate
climates, is 9S.4 .; while in tropical re
gions it is about one degree higher.

attention is that which concerns the relations
of capital and labor, and the Republican par
ty recognize the duty of so shaping legisla-
tion as to secure full protection and the am
plest field for capital, and for labor, the Gre
ator of capital, the largest opportunities
and a just share of the mutual profits of
these two great servants of civilization.
IL. We hold that Congress and the Presi-
dent have only filled an imperative duty in
their measures for the suppression of vio-
lent and reasonable organizations in GER
tain lately rebellious regions, and for the
protection of the ballot-box, and, there
fore, they are entitled to the thanks of the
nation.
13. We denounce reputation of the public
debt in any form or disguise as a national
crime. We witness with pride the reduction
of the principal of the debt, and of the rate
of interest upon the balance, and confidently
expect that our excellent national currency
will be perfected by the speedy resumption
of specie payment.
IA. The Republican party is mindful of its
obligations to the loyal women of America
for their noble devotion to the cause of free
dom. Their admission to wider fields of use
fulness is received with satisfaction, and the
honest demands of any class of citizens for
additional rights should be treated with re-
spectful consideration.
Is. We heartily approve of the action OF
Congress in extending amnesty to those late
ly in rebellion, and rejoice in the growth of
peace and fraternal feeling throughout the
land.
16. The Republican party propose to re-
spect the rights reserved by the people to
themselves as carefully as the powers dele
gated by them to States and Federal Govern
ments. 1t disapproves of resort to unconsti-
tutional laws for the purpose of removing
evils by interference with rights not sur
rendered by the people to the State or
National Government.
H. 1t is the duty of the General Govern
ment to adopt such measures as will tend to
encourage American commerce and ship
building.
Is. We believe that the modest patriotism,
the earnest purpose, sound Judgment, prac-
tical wisdom, incorruptible integrity and il
lustrious services of Ulysses S. Grant have
commended him to the hearts of the American
people, and with him at our head we start
to-day on a new march to victory

A FIXED FACT IN PHARMACY.-Con-
sidering the multitude of diseases, it is
amazing that we live. In view of the
countless remedies for them, it is wonder
full that we die Unfortunately, however,
all the diseases are realities whereas most
of the remedies are humbuqs. One
exception to the latter rule demands the
recognition and approval of the press.
We refer to DIR. JOSEPH WALKERS VINE
GAR BTTTERs. OF the Doctor himself
we know nothing but of his medicine
we can speak from observation, for it
seems to have found its way into almost
every household. Probably it is more ex-
tensively used in this country, as family
remedy, than any other preparation, al
though it has not yet been before the
world three years. Wherever we go we
hear of it, and whenever we hear of it,
the comments on its efficacy are enthusi-
astic. We have questioned sufferers from
liver complaint. remittent fever, fever and
agUe, chronic headache, vertigo, irregular
tiles of the bowels, indigestion, rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, gout, kidney diseases and
affections of the lungs, as to its effects,
and the uniform answer has been, :" III Is
doing me good" Believing that "what
everybody says must be true" we have
no hesitation in admitting that VINEGAR
BITTERs is the Great Medical Success OF
the present century.

On June 10th President Grant and Sena-

THE following is the text of Governor

can National Convention
Mr.. President and Gentlemen of the Convention:
L have been listening for nearly two hours
to some OF the best speeches that have been
made for long time. 1 have just been en-
tertained by the excellent and forcibIe
speech of the temporary President of the
Convention. After that you have listened to
the solemn words of invocation of one of the
noblest and grandest prayers that has been
delivered in this city or this nation for a
long time. You listened then to the Senator
from Illinois, who spoke for few moments /:
and again to the Senator from Indiana, who
spoke at some length; but greatest and best

before have listened to his great words, we
heard from that venerable, sublime man of

THERE are now in active duty on the
great lakes of the United States seven
American gunboats, whose duty it is to
examine the clearances of vessels, for pre-
yention of smuggling, and to assist ves-
sells in distress. These boats, named re-
spectively the johnson, Sherman, Disc,

are each manned by forty men, and
carry four rified guns. Besides the reg

assisted forty one vessels in distress and
picked up seven drowning men. Some

or race, has never been equaled by any medi-

DURING the warm weather, among the AZ
ticles which invigorate a feeble appetite,
Vinegar takes prominent place. Prussing's
well-known brand of Cider Vinegar, being
free from all poisonous acids, and warranted
to keep pickles for years, is admitted to have
no superior in the market. His works are
the largest of the kind in the United States,
and his Vinegar, owing to its great purity
and strength, supersedes all others with the
city and country trade. Dealers and con-
sumers should not fail to ask for Prussing's
Vinegar when replenishing their stock.-Chi-
