Timber for Profit.

That money may be made out of trees
in various ways, as well as ofregular farm
crops, is certain. 1t only requires to look
around one and see what is in demand,
and then measure ones capacity for sup
plying it. The Chicago Tribune tells of
people near that city who make profita-
BILE business by raising hoop-poles. Hicko-
ry and white oak are used chiefly for the
purpose. They are planted about six feet
apart, and after they once come into use
are cut down every three or four years !;
the sprouts, which are stout and vigorous.
being fit to cut at those regular periods.
There is one great advantage in any plan
for growing trees in connection with farm
crops, that great deal of the work can be
done in the winter season. The worst
feature Of farming at present is the difficult
ty of employing labor. Most farmers do
not need SO many hands in winter as in
summer; and laborers will not go from
the city to the country to work when they
will have nothing to do for three or four
months IN the year. Hence in the busy
times we can hardly get hands to do the
work; and this it is which, as much as any,
thing, makes so many look on farming as
profession of worry and care. IF profit
able winter work could be found this
would be avoided, and the various opera
tons of forestry seem to afford one good
field for this winter work. In old times,
when we used to make our own fence
posts and rails, it was not so bad as now:
but much might be done in the way indi-
Gated.

The LATEST TR1UAlpH OF TEMPERANCE

THE LATEST TRIUMPH OF TEMPERANCE.
We congratulate the Temperance world
on the success everywhere attending the
use of VINEGAR BTTTERs. Certainly no
preparation containing alcohol has accom-
plished such cures of malarious fever, bill
iousness, dyspepsia, rheumatism, lung
complaints, constipation, and general de
bility, as we hear Of from all quarters, as
the results of this famous vegetable spe-
cific. No true philanthropist will regret
to see spirituous liquors expelled from
medical use, if they can be safely dispensed
with; and that they are not necessary in
any case of sickness, whatever its charac-
ter, appears at last to have been demon
strated. If public opinion is capable of
making any impression upon the minds of
the Faculty, they will ere long introduce
the most popular of modern medicines in
to the hospitals, and prescribe it in their
practice. The millions have given the ar
ticle a fair trial; it has more than answer
ed their expectations, and no theoretical
opposition can shake their faith in it.

Parental Neglect Of schools.

A writer in the West Union Scion,
who signs himself Impartial" thus
refers to one of the evil consequences
of the general neglect shown by par
ents in regard to the management of
the schools, in which their children
are being educated:
Statistics show that three terms
are as long as teachers on an average
follow teaching. As some teach much
longer, a greater number must teach
less, and is it strange that a man
should be very Indifferent how he
does his work when he has no inter
est in making forhimsef q reputation
as o workman? On the contrary is
it not natural for him to get through
this term as pleasantly as possible,
when he intends it to be his last?
And here is subject to which par
ents are strangely Indifferent. They
seem to think that when they have
furnished their children with books
and started them to school, they have
done their whole duty. Not one in
ten ever sees the inside of the school
house while school is in session. If
the children like the teacher, it is all
right, if not it is all wrong, and 'it
amt worth while to send them, for If
they don't like the teacher they won't
learn" Teachers know this is the
way their patrons estimate them, and
in order to gain the good will of the
children, sacrifice school discipline.
the most important essential of the
school room. They hurry their sehol-
ars from one book to another, for
they must seem to progress whether
they learn anything or not. And
such always Will be the case until
parents take more rational view of
the subject, and subject the teacher
to the same rigid scrutiny that the
employee is subjected to in any other
calling.

Richard is at home here. Does he
know from sharp experience that sat

In Utica, as in some other places,
there is q liquor store, and on the
floor above it is the office of a doctor.
Just over the front window of the
beverage-shop the doctor has placed
the following sign: He who deals
out poisons deals out death" Tenn
perance people as they went by grin
ned at this awful warning, and the
man of fluids below was naturally in
dignant at this label upon the quail
ity of his refreshments. It turns
out, however, that the doctor meant
no insinuation against the quality Of
his neighbor's merchandise. He is
a healer of the herb and root school,
and his sign was merely intended for
a hit ct the regulars, who prescribe
arsenic and the like. Perhaps he
unconciously placed his sign where it
would ''do most good"

American Girls Not Tolerated
I'm German Schools.

In the course of an article entitled
Ornament and Dress" in the Herald
of Health, DIR. Mary Stafford says:
1t pains me to say it, but perhaps
we may be benefited by seeing our
selves as others see us. The opinions
that American girls in Europe have
won, are anything but creditable and
desirable. While visiting school at
Frankforton-the-M Main, 1 asked if there
were American pupils, and the pre-
ceptor replied; ''No, we do not take
them; they dress SO extravagantly,
they think and talk so much of their
clothes, that they disturb the quiet,
simple ways of our German girls, and
we find that their influence does us
more hurt than their money does us
good" In Dresden 1 knew an Amer
ican lady who could not find a private
school where they would take her
daughter for similar reasons.

Next point of interest was the "Hy-
draulic" mines. Thewater is brought
from away up ON the mountains down
to the mines, in bitches and pipes, and
by the time it has reached the mines,
has gained SO much force thatit tears
the ground up at terrible rate. The
mud and water are allowed to stand
in q reservoir until the dirt and gold
settles, when the water is let out by a
gate, and the gold taken o,It. Saw
where thousands of acres hld been
torn up in this way. "Cape Horn"
came next. Think of being up in the
air 2,750feet. That is just the height
we were about the ''Aherican River. !"
This river, which is quarter Of a
mile in width, from this height looked
narrow enough to jump across it.
