EDITORIAL NOTICES arc so common
that II is almost impossible foran editor
to express his honest opinion Of the
merits Of apy article without being sus-
pccted of interested motives. This iact.
however, shall not deter lis from saying
what we think Of the new addition to
the Materia Medica to which our ntten-
ton has been recently directed. We
refer 10 On. J. WALERR's CALIFORNIA
VINEGAR BITTERs, remedy which is
making its way into more families Just
now than all the other advertised medi-
cines put together. It's popularity, us
far us we can judge, is not based ON
empty pretention. There seems to be
no question about the potency OF It's
tonic md Alternative properties, while it
possesses the great negative rGcommen-
dalton Of containing neither alcohol nor
mineral poison. That it is specific for
Indigestion, Biliousness, Constipation
and many complaints OF nervous origin,
We have reason to know and We are
assured OH good authority that us IL
general invigorant, regulating aud puri-
Tying medicine, it has no equal. It
is stated that its ingredients obtained
from the wilds Of California, are now to
the medical world; and its extraordinary
effects certainly warrant the conclusion
that it is o compound OF agents hitherto
unknown. II popularity is any criterion,
there caa be no doubt OF the efficiency
Of the VINEGAR BlrrERs, for the sale OF
tho article is immense and continually
increasing.-Com.

Never sendest thou m article for pub
LEGATION without giving the editor thy

Thou shouldst not rap ut the door Of

Never do thoulo about, ask questions
or knock down type, or the boys will
love you like they do shade trees-when
thou leaveth.
Thou shouldst never read the copy on
the printers case, or the sharp and
hooked container thereof, or he may
knock thee down.
Never inquire thou Of the editor for
tho news, for behold it is his business
at the appointed time to give it to thee
without asking.
II is not right that thou shouldst ask
him who is the author Of M article, for
1t is his duty to keep such things unto
himself.
When thou dost enter his office, take

A Sermon on "Push.n

When Cousin Will was home for vaca.
ton, the boys always expected plenty Of
fun. The last frolic before hewent back
to his studies was n long tramp after
halle nuts. AS they were hurrying
along in high glee, they came upon a
discouraged looking man and dis
Outraged looking cart.
The cart was standing before an or
chard. The man was trying to pull it
UP hill to his own house. The boys did
not wait to be invited, but ran to help
with good will. "Push, push" was
the cry, The mnn frightened up the
cart truudled along us fast as rheumatism
would do it, and in five minutes they all
stood painting at the top Of the bill.
"obliged to ye," said the man, "you
inst wait a minute !" and he hurried into
the house, while two or three pink APP
roned children peeped out Of the door,
"Now boys" said COUSIN Will, " this
lisa small thing but I wish we could
all take motto out Of it and keep it for
life. "Pnsh p it is inst the word for 4
grand clear morning like this.
"If anybody is in trouble, and you
see it, lon't stand back push u
"Ir there's anything good doing in
any place where you happen to be,

"Whenever there's kind thing, n
Christian thing, happy thing, plea
SAINT thing, whether II is your own OF
not, whether it is at home or in town, ut
church or at school, just help with all

At that moment the farmer came out
with dish OF his wife's best dough nuts
and dish Of his own best apples aud
TINT was the end of the little sermon.

FEELING Forests by Electricity.

Among the recent discoveries Of science
Is process for cutting wood by passing
n gOlvanic current over a platina wire, in
sufficient quantity TO raise its temperature
to red heat. The inventor or disCov-
erer, Geo. Robinson, found that by gently
pushing a piece of wood against a red hot
platina wire, especially when aided by a
slight saving movement, the wood was
divided in any required direction as by a
hand saw, and Of course without any
effort of skill or appreclable expenditure
OF muscular power. The Scientific A1tr-
lean says: "By. arranging the wire with
handles or other means, so as to guide 1t
readily, the lumber, whether in trees,
logs or planks, may be cut easily as de-
sired" The Kern County Courier says ;
III the mammoth trees that grow on the
upper waters of the Kern River could be
utilized, the Inconvenience OF an made.
quate supply of lumber would never be
felt in this valley. These trees, hundreds
of which may often be found crowded to.
gether in sheltered valleys along the
stream, will average not far from thirty
feet in diameter, aud, ofcoursc, with our
present appliances for the present pnr-
poses, are difficult and expensive to fell.
II the Scientific American'S statement is
true, electricity may DO employed to fell
trees, divide them into logs, and, in short,
to perform all the operations of the saw
and az. The surface Of the wood, where
thus divided is, OF course, slightly charred,
but the black layer Is thin, and for many
purposes not disadvantageous, as it is
known to preserve timber. The battery
employed need only be of the simplest
character, MS quantity, and not intensity,
of current is required"

A STRANGE SroRY.-From Hon. Domi.
mic 0'Malley of Westport, we learn the
following particulars Of most singular
case ofmental arrangement that has come
under our notice: Miss Margaret Kelley,
q girl about sixteen years old, who lives
with her parents, in the town of Dane, in
this country, suddenly lost her reason on
tho evening of the 8Oth Of July last. She
was well and hearty as usual up to the
hour of her arrangement, when her
strange conduct betrayed her unfortunate
condition. Her mental disorder mani.
tested itself in n most peculiar manner,
as accompanying her loss of reason, was
the entire loss Of all knowledge Of the
English Language, which is her native
tongue. At the same timo she lost the
use ofthe English language, she acquired
complete command Of the German Ian.
guage, and spoke 1t very luently. The
unfortunate girl has lately recovered her
reason but Is still unable to speak or
understand English, but speaks and con,
verses intelligently and accurately in the
German language. Neither the parents
nor anyone Of the family can understand
her nor she them except through an
interpreter. What Is most singular, the
girl never studied German, never learned
to speak 1t, never lived where 1t was
spoken and could have derived no knowl.
edge of the language in the ordinary man
ner. The facts as stated above are vouch.
ed for as correct and are attracting con-
siderable attention in the community
where the girl lives. Several physicians
have visited her and admit that her case
battles their skill. 1t has been suggested
that number Of our Madison doctors
visit the patient and endeavOr to give
some solution of this most mysterious
mental phenomonon.-IPisconSia Paper.

InoX.=In 1865 the annual production
Of iron was about 100000 tons, and al
that time the consumption OF Great Dri.
tain was IA pounds, and OF the United
States 81 pounds, while tllcaveragc con.
sumption of the world was only II
pounds per head OF population. Last
year the total production Of the world
had reached 1880, 900 tons, while the
consumption had risen in England to
200 pouhls, in the United StAtoS to 100
pounds aud in the whole world to 30
pounds perllcnd. Itisnot unreasonable
TO suppose That the rate Of increase in
tho consumption Of iron in the future
will correspond with tue experiences Of
the past.

THE PRoaREss OF EVIL. There is so
much more inebriation in Paris than
formerly, that strenuous measures are
demanded to diminish it. 1t was obServ.
ed in workshops, where alcohol is used
in making colors, that the violet alcohol
disappeared, and dead rats were put into
the reservoirs to disgust the men, but
even this was not effective. In the
hospitals they have caught the sick drink
ing camphorated spirits. In 1886 m
cdict was made that the crimes" Of
drunkenness, disappearing and homicide
should be punished for first offense,
bread and water ; second, prison and
q whipping third, public whipping,
and fourth, amputatlon Of MI car and
Punishment We fear, should this be
inflicted in America, we would DO in
danger OF becoming one.eared race.
