Craft.SchOOls Wanted.

To remedy this aimiessness and un-
fitness for life with which our educa-
ton leaves our youth, We need more
craft schools, where boys can become
practical engineers, chemists, printers,
machinists, and even farmers. The
machinist would be none the worse if
he should spend his evenings over
Euclid instead of lager; the blacksmith,
If he knew how to drive home and
clinch an argument in metaphysics as
skillfully as a horseshoe nail or the
dentist, if he could extract hidden
Greek roots with the same facility as
grumbling mOlars. Educated men
would dignity any of these employ
ments, and make them sought and not
summed by those worthy to fill them
A man who wants to run an engine
ought to be educated for his business.
just as much as a lawyer for his pro-
fession. We are a patient and long
suffering people, or we would never
permit ourselves to be blown up by
hundreds by ignorant engineers, who
know nothing more of the monsters
they control than enough to feed them
with wood and water, and oil up their
creaking joints; or suffer ourselves to be
sent to our graves by striplings in short
jackets, who give us arsenic for pare
goric, and strychnine for the elixir of
life. The time is coming, and we trust
is not far distant, when all the positions
of responsibility will be filled by men
of education, and can be filled 10y none
others; when ignoramuses will be
obliged either to fit themselves for their
proposed labOrs, or seek other employ
ments.-O. R. BWcItard, in iScriJner's

A Charitable World.

1t is a temptation to temperate man
to become a sot, to hear what talent,
what versatility, what genius is almost
always attributed to moderately bright
man who is habitually drunk. Such a
mechanic, such poet he would be, if
he were only sober; and then he is sure
to be the most generous, magnanimous,
friendly soul, conscientiously honora-
bic, if he were not so conscientiously
drunk. / suppose it is now notorious
that the most brilliant and promising
men have been lost to the world in this
way. 1t is sometimes almost painful to
think what a surplus of talent and ge-
MUS there would be III the world if the
habit of intoxication should suddenly
cease, and what q slim chance there
would be for the plodding people who
have always had tolerably good habits
The fear is only mitigated by the obser-
walton that the reputation of person
for great talent sometimes ceases with
his reformation.
1t is believed by some that the mai
dens who would make the best wives
never marry, but remain free, to bless
the world with their impartial sweetness
and make it generally habitable. This
is one of the mysteries of Providence,
and New England life. 1t seems pity,
at first sight, that all those who become
poor wives have the matrimonial chance,
and they are deprived of the reputation
of those who would be good wives were
they not set apart for the high and per-
petual Office of priestesses of society.
There is no beauty like that which was
spoiled by an accident; no accomplish
ments and graces are SO to be envied as
those that circumstances rudely him
dered the development of. All of which
shows what charitable and good-tem-
pered world it is, notwithstanding its
reputation for cynicism and detraction.

The Supreme Question

Health is the most important of earth
ly blessings, and therefore the nervous
anxiety of the sick to ascertain the rela-
tive merits of the various medicines in
use is not surprising. Within the last
two years many thousands of invalids
have abandoned the preparations of the
pharmacopist for the remedy intro
duced by DIR. Walker, of California,
under the somewhat eccentric name of
Vinegar Bitters. That this new vegeta-
BILE medicine is winning golden Opin-
ions of all sorts of people" is beyond a
doubt. The accounts we hear of its
extraordinary effects in cases of chronic
dyspepsia, rheumatism, liver COM
plants, malarious fevers, servous pros
trations and many other distressing dis
eases, certainly justify the popularity
which it has everywhere acquired.
DIR. Walker claims for his specific n
remedial power over all disorders that
do not involve an irreparable destruc-
ton of bone and fibre, and results so far
appear to have justified the claim. In
this age of wonders we arc not disposed
to deny the possibility of any phenome-
ma not directly at variance with the
laws of nature, and as it is held by many
Psychologists that all maladies proceed
from the same generic cause, we see no
reason for the incredulity with which
some people regard the idea of Uni
versal Medicine. DR.. Walkers prepar-
alton seems destined to be universally
approved.-COna.

The Knoxville Press and MESSENGER
tells us there are great many young
men in that city who are out of EN-.
plOyment and adds that the number is
unfortunately being increased by &C
cessiOns from the country. The idea
seems to be (says the Messenger "that
a city is better place than the coun-
try, while the opposite is .eminently
true. Men who succeed in making a
living, to say nothing of fortune, in
the cities, are compelled to work much
harder than many suppose, and are
kept in a condition of constant worry.
With the kindest feelings for our young
friends in the country. we would say,
stay there, and by cuitivating the soil,
secure for yourselves certain support
and independence. In these hard
times, especially, there are too many
do rothings in the city, and too few
workers, with the plow, in the country.
Young men, take our advice and stay

How to Use Strawberries.

The strawberry is fruit of such del
icate flavor that il is best enjoyed fresh
from the vines, either with sugar alone
or in the favorite form Of strawberries
and cream. All forms OF preserved
and canned strawberries are In point OF
flavor 80 much in ferior to the fresh
fruit, that they are among the mostun-
satisfactory of preserved or canned
fruits. For full enjoyment of straw
berries, they should be allowed to re-
main upon the vine until thoroughly
ripe; hence those purchased in the ma: :
ket are seldom in their best condition.
To allow them to bear they must be
picked as soon as they are colored, and
before the slight softening that indi-
Gates full ripeness takes place. 1t is
only those who grow their own fruit
that can have them in this condition.
After picking, the berries should be
placed in q refrigerator to become
somewhat cool, though not too cold.
The fruit for the table should never be
washed. Straw should haye been
placed around the vines in sufficient
Quantity to keep the fruit perfectly
clean. Strawberries that have to be
washed are only fit for preserves.
Canned orrather bottled strawberries
while never good representatives of the
fresh fruit, can be made much superior
to those generally met with by little
care in the selection of varieties. The
Wilson, on account O: its acidity and
firmness, is better than any soft varie-
ties, deficiency in flavor may bein part
overcome by using the juice of Russel!'s
Prolific, Brooklyn Scarlet, or other
high-fiavored variety for the syrup.
Straw berry shortcake is generally
popular, and we have heretofore given
recipes for it. We now give one from
Marion Harland's Common Sense.
We have not yet tried it, but we have
generally found her approved recipes
excellent. She takes l quart flour,

Add the eggs and soda to the milk;
put all together, handling little as may
be. Roll lightly and quickly into two
sheets, the one intended for the upper
crust fully half an inch thick, the lower
less than this. Lay one crust upon the
other, and bake. While warm-not

Poisoned to Death.

Ahealthy liver secretes each day about
two and half pounds of bile, which
contains great amount of waste mate
rial taken from the blood. When the
liver becomes torpid or congested, it
fails to eliminate this vast amount of
noxiOus substance, which, therefore,
remains to poison the blood and be con-
veyed to every part of the system. What
must be the condition of the blood
when it is receiving and retaining each
day two and half pounds of poison?
Nature tries to work off this poison
through other channels and organs-thc
kidneys, lungs, skin, ETC., but these
organs become Overtaxed in performing
this labor, in addition to their natural
functions, and cannot long withstand
the pressure, but become variously dis
eased.
The brain, which is the great elcctri-
cal centre of all vitality, is unduly stim-
ulated by the unhealthy blood which
passes to it from the heart, and it fails
to perform its Office BEAUTIFULLY. Hence
the symptoms of bile poisoning, which
are dizziness, headache, incapacity to
keep the mind on any subject, impair
ment of memory, dizzy, sleepy, or ner-
vous feeling, gloomy forebodings and
irritability of temper. The blood itself
being diseased, as it forms the sweat
upon the surface of the skin, is so irrita-
ting and poisonous that it produces dis
colored brown spots, pimples, blotches
and other eruptions, sores, boils, car
buncles and scrofulous tumors. The
stomach, bowels, and other organs spo-
ken of, cannot escape becoming effected
sooner or later, and costiveness, piles,
dropsy, dyspepsia, diarrhpa, female
weakness, and many other forms of
chronic disease, are among the necessa-
ny results. As a remedy for all these
various manifestations of disease, DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
positively unequaled. By it the liver
and stomach are changed to an active,
healthy state, the appetite regulated
and restored, the blood and secretions
thoroughly purified and enriched, and
the whole system renovated and built
up anew. Sold by all frst-class Drug

Identifying Farms.

Great progress has been made with
in the last twenty-five years among the
farmers of the country, not only il
making their farms more productive
but in making them more attractive
This, in a large measure, is the result
of prosperous farming.
Those who had debts to pay, did not
feel able to expend much in Ornamen-
ting their places; but since they have
freed themselves from this burden,
they have been more disposed to at
te9d to the appearance of things.
There has been, also, an advance IN
taste. There are not so many now, as
formerly. who decry all attention to
ornament as waste of time and money.
The race of niggardly and boorish
men is fast dying out. Increased in
telligence, circulation of agricultural
learning, the formation of agricultural
societies, the infusion of a larger ele-
ment of educated and cultivated men
into the profession, have had power
ful influence in securing more atten-
ton to the aesthetics of farming instead
of having everything expended for
mere pecuniary returns. And this is a
great advance. 1t ennobles the pur-
suits of the farmer. Man is a creature
of taste and not mere grub; and be
who negiects to cultivate and crafty
this element in nature, degrades him.
self. ANY one may form a pretty cor
rect estimate of the intellectual if not
the moral state of his neighbors, by
simply looking over their farms. The
one who allows his lands to lie in a
s,ovenIy state, when he has the means
of improving them, may be money
loving, but he also will be a slOvenly
man, with no elevating instincts.
It is great mistake to suppose that
money spent in reasonably improving
the appearance of the place is thrown
away. 1t may be doubted whether
there is any more direct method of in
creasing its pecuniary value. Certain
ly its market value will depend. very
much upon its outward appearance

vantage aud make an amazing differ
ence when its comes to be sold. And
even if it be not sod, these things will
add amazingly to the enjoyment of it
by its possessor, if he be not bind to
everything but the dollar.
Every man, too, owes it to the COM
munity in which he is living to contri-
bu!e to the general reputation, and to
public enjoyment by making all his
surroundings attractive 81 possible.
There is such thing as paying tco
much attention 70 the outside and show
but there is reason in all things, and q
measure of time and attention and ex.
pense should be devoted by every one
to making his farm and his home more
and more attractive every year that he
lives.

Don't Slight the Farmers.

We clip the following practical views
from the Jackson advocate, and we
urge all to read and ponder what is so
well said:
Everybody knows that those pub
fishers who devote most space to ag-
ricultural matters are by far the most
successful, whether they be of the
country paper" or the more preten-
tious metropolitan journals.
Everybody knows that the majority
OF country papers receive their best
support from country subscribers.
Everybody knows too that the con-
slant harping upon political topics be-
somes stale reading to everybody but
the aspiring office seeker, and fortu-
nately for the country they are still in
the minority.
These beng self-evident facts, it
would seem good business policy to
cater to the pleasure of the majority,
and then, too, the publication, by so
doing, would exert some influence for
the material improvement of its local
ity.
But here lies the trouble. We fear
that the majority of those who
conduct newspapers are incompetent
to treat, intelligently, upon agricultural
topics. They can blaze away at random
in the field of politics, obtaining as
much eruditiOn when their predictions
are at fault as when they chance to
make centre shot.
They dare not risk their reputation
before the farmers, even though the
popular notion is that they are the I'M
sophisticated class, by dealing with
topics which require more knowledge
than the books alone afford.
1t would be well for the country if
the present policy could be reversed, i.
e., if the agricultural and industrial
topics were made the leading ones. and
the Office-hunting and ofIice-hOlding
interests be sent to the rear. Servants
of the people," the politicians occupy
the front seats and prostitute to their
special use all of the agencies which
should be employed to better pur-
pose.
Publishers, don't slight the farmers
if you would realize the acme of pros
perity. They are waking up and
moving to the front. Those who
are first to appreciate their adj
vancement and assist in it will be the
| favored ones of fortune. -
The sooner we divest ourselves OF
the idea that the farmer needs no
special education, the earlier may we
behold agriculture occupying the fore
most position among the worlds in
dustries to which it is, by right entitled.
1t is gratifying indeed to mark the rev.
OlutiOn in public sentiment now in
progress, and having special reference
to the creation of a proper class spirit
among farmers, awakening a COM
mendable pride in their vocation and
exciting them to vigorous action in
promoting the good work.
