CAN IT DE True within the last
few months considerable number of
persons have called upon DIR. Walker,
the proprietor of the popular medicine
known as VINEGER BrTTERs, and as
sured him that, in their belief, his pre-
paration is an infallible antidote for
rum and tobacco. The minute details
which have been furnished him forbid
him to doubt the accuracy of the state
ments. This new claim of great
remedy to the confidence of the public
will give vast and well-deserved i'm
pulse to its popularity. Heretofore the
BrrrERs have been recognized rs pure
vegetable tonic and corrective, devoid
of alcohol, and thoroughly adapted to
the cure of stomach and bowel COM
plants, nervous disorders, bilious affec-
tions, musclar diseases, and, indeed, n
majority of the ailments within the
reach of medicine but it will also cure
the craving for liquor and tobacco,
philosophers, statesmen and theologinns
ought to unite their voices in its praise.
Can it be true? 1t is easy to test the
question.

DRUG STORES SCARCE IN VIENNA.

DRUG STORES SCARCE IN VIENNA.
An hours walk this morning through
the most populous parts of Vienna, IN
search of Seidlitz powder, was fail
ure, as far as the object of the search
was concerned. We could not find an
apothecary shop in all this long walk
and diligent search. In the same space
we could have found fifty in Balti-
more, or in any other American city.
Being in pursuit of knowledge, we made
inquiry as to the cause of this scarcity,
desiring to know whether the sages of
Vienna had discovered that Shakespeare
was right when he consigned "physic
to the dogs" The physicians of whom
we inquired assured us that, although
the people did not Physic themselves
much in Vienna, an average amount OF
medicine was consumed. The scarcity
of apothecaries grew out of the fact that
the law was very strict as to the quail
fications of all aspirants, and that they
must obtain a certificate from an exam
lining board, all of whom are apothe-:
carries and interested i'll restricting the
number. Thus it is that the business
is kept in certain families, and that very
few except such of their children as take
fancy to the business are indicted to
its mysteries. The difficulty that
stranger experienced in finding them
was partly owing to the fact that they
had no competition in their several
neighborhoods, made very little display,
and very often had their establishments
in back streets or courts, where con-
venience or cheap rent induced the
location. They charge high prices, and
are generally quite wealthy.-Vienna

STEPHEN GIRARD'S MEMORY

"Stephen Girard," says writer in a
Philadelphia paper, "had remarkable
memory, seldom forgetting anything to
which his attention had once been
called. As an instance, when, in 1898,
his ship Voltaire was built, laborers
were scarce, on account of q fever
raging at the time, and Girard person
ally assisted his favorite carpenter,
Jimmy Humphries,' in driving in the
copper bolts which held the breast-hook
fastening in the bow. In 1872, during
the war, the Voltaire required repairing,
and it was overhauled at Kcnsington.
1t was necessary to remove the copper
bolts which held the fastening, in order
to replace some wood work, and it be-
came necessary to know whether the
bolts had been riveted from the inner
or outer side. The same carpenter,
HUMPHREYS, was assisting in the repair
ing of the vessel, but was unable to find
the bolt heads. Girard, who was stand
ing near, smiled quietly, noticing which,
HUMPHREYS asked, rather jokingly,
Perhaps you know something about
them, sir The old man laughed, and
said: Why, Jimmy, don't you remem-
Der that hot afternoon in 93, when you
and l put in those bolts? The star
board ones are riveted from the outside,
and the larboard from the inside.
Through all the whirling memories of
that wonderful head, the old mans
mind had gone back to the simple in
cident of nineteen years before, with
perfect accuracy

Prof. Turner says "Previous to ma
turity, fruits are formed of compact eel
lular tissue, containing the elements of
woody fiber, and filed with liquid con-
tanning very little sugar, gummy sub
stance and large quantity of free acid
During maturation part of the acid dis
appears by the action of the oxygen of
the air, and the cellulose.. tissue dimin-
ishes and the proportion of sugar in
creases, iusomuch that instead of hard,
woody acid fruits, if the maturation has
been complete, fruits yield sweet, sir
upy juice"
According to Prof. Mulder, =" feshy
fruits and several kinds of berries ac-
quire while ripening much greater pro-
portion OF sugar than they contained
before maturity, although full grown.
Ripe fruits have not an acid taste be-
cause they contain large quantity of a
basis by which they are saturated, and
not because they are disguised by sugar. s."
Frenzy says cat the moment OF
ripening, the acids of fruits are par
TALLY saturated, and form salts of lime
or potash"
How to Fill Empty Comb.
A correspondent having asked Mrs.
Upper the following question " How
we can best fill up number of hives OF
empty combs with bees? We have ten
living colonies healthy, though weak, and
twenty mine hives full of comb" she re-
plies, through the Iowo Homestead, as
follows:
&c The best way to fill up your comb
is to watch the bees, now that warm
weather has come, and every few DAYS
put one empty comb between two that
the queen has filed with brood. In this
way you will soon have any hive full of
brood if honey is plenty; if not, you
must feed quite literally with sugar
sirup. There will be no trouble in
getting your hives all full of bees again
if you manage in this way If the season
is good, it may be necessary for you to
extract honey frequently from the comb
to give the queens room"

was decidedly nattered by such intense
appreciation and, entering fully into

would not do--he could not stop mo-

shaggy troop of connoisseurs, fidgeting
on their launches with lolling tongues
and pricked ears, listening to their
charmer for several weary hours, until
the negroes at the wedding, becoming
impatient ora,armed about the old man,
came ont TO look for him, and found
him thus perched upon the roof of the

Pioneering In Western New York.

A correspondent OF the tribune says
recent story brought to mind the
scenes of pioneer suffering that were
forced on his notice in Cayuga county
after the cold season Of 1916, when the
corn crop almost entirely failed. He
says My uncles had just built mill
at Union Springs, and the hungry men
from Mentz used to come up the Seneca
River in dug both to buy and beg
little coarse middlings or barley meal.
They lived in the woods, and had
cleared and fenced just land enough to
plant a little corn, and the failure of
this reduced them to starvation. But
they had plenty of trees and made COM
Portable Lighthouses, made sap-sugar,
and couldf feed their only COW on browse.
Our farmers could not earn three
shillings a day. Money was so scarce
that no house in any village could have
been built if all the labor and material
had not been bought in barter. There
was emphatically no money. When |
came to this village with store OF
goods, in 1921, wheat was the only arti-
Gle that sold for money, and the price
had been down to 81 cents bushel the
year before. l have known farmer to
leave his letter week or more in the
post-otfice until he could thresh wheat
to sell and pay the 18 cents postage.
Hundreds of farmers then drank neither
tea nor coffee, and the wife paid for her
calico in butter, at eight cents per
pound, and the poor merchant had to
send it to New York, where it often sold
at loss over transportation. / have
seen string of teams come in to dis
tillery in Oneida county, loaded with
potatoes, which they gladly sold for 12A
cents per bushel. Now you could not
hire farmer to haul the potatoes six
miles for the same money. Yet can
not see that farmers are any happier
now than they were then they had be-
come acclimated to privation and self
denial, and it was as second nature to
them. Many lived in puncheon-roofed
houses, built almost without a nail, but
the latch string always hung out for the
benefit of those whose necessities were
greater than their own.
These poor Mentz farmers never had
three dollars, and yet some contrived to
pay for a small farm, while others went
further West to scratch poor mems
heads the remainder of their days.
Those who paid for the land had smart
wives, who, in the beginning, helped
their husbands by spin ng fr pork
and Indian meal.

Eggs Of Four Years. Growth.

The reproduction. says Prof. Agassiz,
does not go on constantly. 1t is
periodical, and this periodicity varies
in different animals. Some animals re-
quire long development of themselves
before they produce eggs. Others lay
eggs very early in life. Fowls begin to
lay the first year after their BIRTH
Fresh water turtles do not bear young
before their tenth or eleventh year,
sometimes not till their twelfth. In
our common black and yellow dotted
fresh water terrapin, and in the painted
terrapin, the eggs require four years of
growth before they sre laid. Take a
seven-year-old turtle of this kind: it
will contain only very small eggs, all
of uniform size. An eight-year-ol,
turtle of the same kind will have two
sets of eggs, one larger, one smaller.
One of nine years will have three sets,
the oldest set being the size of n small
pea. turtle of ten years will have
four sets of eggs, and in that year she
will lay for the first time, and give
birth to the most mature set. Other
animals require but "a few weeks to bring
forth their eggs to full maturity. In
our common jelly-fishes, for instance,
with rose-colored ovaries, the eggs
begin in May. In July they are all
Laid and the young begin their inde-
pendent life. The season of laying diff
fers greatly in different animals. Some
lay their eggs in spring, others in mid
summer, others, as the trout family,
salmon, and the like, in autumn.
The irregularity of number is another
astonishing feature of this problem of
reproduction. It would seem that some
kinds of animals require far greater
number of individuals for the main
tenance of the type than others. Some
animals multiply by hundreds of thou
sands-nay, by millions: Others bring
forth single new being, or at the most
two or three at a time. Some animals
bear but once and then die. Others,
more tenacious of life, bring forth new
broods for a long period of years.
These various conditions of growth,
duration, and ripening, these extra;
ordinary differences in the power of
multiplication and reproduction, are
no doubt, necessary part of the
economy of the whole animal kingdom.
There is nothing variably or capricious
about it, and we must not forget that
whoever would account for the origin or
successive introduction of the different
types of organized beings which have
followed one another upon earth must
include in his explanation tie whole
scheme by which characteristics are
continued and transmitted.
