THE GUANoSUPPLY.-The Mark Lane Es-
press says the reports as to fresh discoveries OF
immense deposits of guano on the coasts OF
Peru are thought to be exaggerated. The
stock in the far-famed Chinchas is exhausted,
with the exception of 10000 or 10000 tons.
The stock of guano on the Guanape. Macabi
and Lobos Islands does not exceed 100000
tons, and the quality is stated to be secondary.
In the south the only deposit of any conside-
ration is on the Pabellon de Plea, and this
does not amount to 100000 TONS The small
quantity of guano which remains on the Bal
lesta Islands is of such an inferior quality
that after several thousand tons were bagged,
Messrs. Dreyfus & Co. gave orders not to ship
at present. 1t is affirmed that should no new
deposit be discovered, the present stock will
not last more than four years. A commission
appointed by the Peruvian Government, has
been for some time occupied in making ex-
plorations for guano deposits along the south:
ern coasts of Peru, and hopes are entertained
that further discoveries of guano will be made
Information of a more definite character
must be expected to be shortly received upon
the whole subject

PLASTER OF PARIS AS MANURE FOR
V1NEs.-I have large quantity of grape
vines planted in the open ground. In planting
these had the holes dug about twenty-five
inches deep then threw into each hole five
or six Jumps of old plaster, about the size OF

Jumps, and then planted the vines in the usual
way. The result has been wonderful; the
vines, which were not half an inch thick wheI
planted three years ago, are now two inch1
and more in diameter and bear finely. I
grapes are also freer from disease. Or
vines, not so treated, are much smaller -
produce less, the fruit being also more lie

The WORLDS MADNEss.-When I look
around upon busy, bustling world, eagerly
pursuing and courting disappointment, neg
lecting nothing so much as the one thing
needful; and who, in order to have their por,
tion in this life, disregard the world to come
and only treasure up wrath against the day
of wrath it makes me think of a farmer, who
should, with vast labor, cultivate his lands
and gather in his crops and then thrash it
out, and then separate the corn from the chaf,
and then sweep the corn out upon the dung
hill, and carefully lay by the chaff Such a
person would be supposed mad; but how faint
shadow would this be of his madness who
labors for the meat that perishes, but neglects
that which endureth unto everlasting life
1t is madness, the whole race of men labor
under, unless, and until, divine grace works
the cure-Rev. I. Scott.

First, called on my liauid-eyed brunette
friend, Miss Sallie Morris, of Madison Avenue
Now I've spent good deal of money on Miss
Salliefor Operas, bouquets, Delmonico lunch
es, etc. I've been trying for two years to
win her affections.
Last night full of love and hope, rang old
Morris's door bell. In a moment Miss Sallie
was at my side on retired sofa, | felt her
velvety hands touch mine.
DO you know, Mr.. Perkins, she said, look
ing me straight in the face, that to-day is
our proposing day?
well, suppose so,' I remarked, looking
modestly down at her mosaic bracelet.
We'll, you know, Eli, my dear Eli, that l
have been out with you good deal
Yes 1 replied, beginning to feel embar-
rassed.
You know, my DEAR she said, taking both
my hands, that it is costing me good deal
for dresses and gloves, and
And costing me good deal for carriages,

then the beautiful child hid her face on my
bosom.
DO not fear my answer, beautiful one,'
said soothingly. What is it that weighs so
upon your sorrowful heart?
oh! Eli, it is love- she said sobbing wildly,
and twisting her jewelled fingers in my auburn
hair.
Heaven be praised sighed, as felt her
beating heart against my vest. For you
know that am deeply interested in you
You will not be mad with me, Eli?
No, my sweet one, I shall only be too hap

We'll, Eli, love Charley Brown, to whom
I am engaged and then the scalding tears
fell thick and fast on my shirt bosom.
We'll, Sallie, what have you got to say to

hands from my neck.

THE HORSE EPIDEMIC AND ITS CURE.

The horse disease (evidently kind of ca
tarrhal fever) which has spread so rapidly
over the country within the past month, is now
the all-absorbing topic among the owners and
drivers of horses. So far as we have observed
it here, it is of milder type than at the
North, and in most cases yields readily to a
very simple treatment. In fact, the great
danger, we think, lies in OVERRIDING the medi-
cation. In the great majority of cases, care.
full nursing and strict attention to cleanliness,
ventilation and disinfection will be all that is
required. Use chloride of lime and carbolic
disinfectants. Sponge out the nostrils fire.
quently with warm vinegar and in severe cases
steam with vinegar. "This is done by put
ting hot brick into feed bag, fastening it
on the horses head, and then pouring vinegar
upon the brick, causing the steam to rise up
into the nostrils This causes sneezing, and
rarely fails to give immediate relief" Bran
mashes mixed with tepid water are good. The
hay and oats should be moistened with tepid
water-tar-w if it can be had.
A physician writes to the Buffalo Courier
that he feeds entirely on bran mash and clean
oat or rye straw mostened with brine and
gives from six to eight drachms of bromide of
potassium, three times day, dissolved in a
bran mash, continued for two or three days,
while the inflammation lasts. The following
is also recommended on good authority, given
as drench, night and morning, during the
first stages of the disease:
Spirits of Nitric Ether............"....1 ounce.
Laudanum. dracnms.
Nitrate of Potasa asa.....................3 drachms.
Water. pint.
Mix.
1t is important to withdraw the animal from
work, at once, on the appearance of the first
symptoms of the disease, which generally are
watery discharge from the nose, hot mouth
and cold extremities. Carolinian.

ahead, but, as there was extra charge on
it, they would net enter it. Finding they
were firm, he compromised by sending
twenty.three of the passengers, who
were already seated, into the drawing
room car without extra charge, and so
the tickets were handed over, and the
vacated seats taken.

Breathing.

When inhaling air that is dusty, OF
bad smelling, or otherwise impure, one
should draw the breath slowly through
the nostrils. In this way the dust or
othg impurities are in part arrested in
the moist and narrow nasal passages,
ard are prevented from being thrown
uIon the lungs. When we breathe
through the mouth, they are carried
more directly thither. Many would
lengthen their lives by res0lutely
breathing through the nostrils.
