THE SICK Pooh IN Our MIDsT.-HoW
much suffering among the poor in ouE
midst, is a question that Is not sufficiently
considered even by the few whose recog'

II search were made there might be found
in each ward OF the city many sick poor
whose bodily suffering has been mainly
produced by their pinching poverty,
Rather than beg, and thus make their
wants and suffering publicly known, they
have from time TO time parted with this
and that article of necessary furniture,
until many of these Gods poor have be-
come indeed pitiably destitute. One such
case was brought 10 our attention
last evening. The family, by the name
Of Conner, resides in North Wheeling,
above Bells foundry. Mr.. Conner, an
old man, has been confined to his bed
Tor nearly three years, suffering from
paralysis Of both lower extremities.
During this period he has had the best
medical attention the city affords, but all

confined to his scanty bed, which has &C
chsled him that bed.sores have formed
on several parts Of his body, Rather than
beg, Mrs. Conner a feeble old lady, has
sold various pieces Of her household goods
to supply pressing wants. She now has

county Hospital for such sick-poor, and
there they ought to be sent There are
MANY cases that could be more economi-
cally cared for at their private homes by
little assistance, than at the Poor
House. Mr. Corners case is one Of these
besides, he Is now not ina condition to be
removed TO tho PoOr.House. Surely
some provision should be made by the
County Commissioners 10 meet the wants
Of this class Of worthy patients; mean
while, we hope the friends OF the poor
will not only look alter the family we
have named, but TO the needs of Others
who, doubtless, are in as needy circum.
stances.

THERE Is a splendid display Of Works
Of Art now on exhibition at Beck's
block, opposite post Office. The cOllec-
ton contains some very rare and choice
pieces, comprising fine Oil Paintings, Oil
Chromos, and a splendid assortment OF
genuine English Steel Engrsvlngs, after
celebrated American and European ar.
fists. This collection is deserving Of tho
highest praise and is without doubt the
handsOmest and most valuable Of the
kind ever exhibited in our section OF
country and calls for the attention Of
our connoisseurs. Lately We have had
through our country a very inferior class
of Chromos. Our citizens will bear in
mind that there is as much difference in
the execution of Chromos as in painting;
these are of the finest grade and in
many instances 1t requires the strictest
scrutiny Of cOnnoissedrs to detect them
from the genuine originals. a f
Catalogues will be issued tomorrow.
The ladies are especially invited to call
and examine the collection.

the pillow, to insure thorough covering. All
this care is made necessary to thorough
preparation of the seed-bed, as it is the
only blowing the land receives After
blowing, the land is thoroughly narrowed
and sometimes this is done before all the
field is plowed. 1t depends on the con-
dition of the soil and the weather. If the
soil turns up in Jumps, rain is waited for
SO that they will pulverize; if tolerably
moist, the harrow is used soon, before the
clods have time to harden The object
striven for is fine pulverization of the soil
by narrowing.
Unless manure is to be applied to the
wheat crop, the field now rests for two
or three weeks. Opportunity is given for
whatever vegetable growth the soil is in
clined to throw up, to put in its appear
ance. lfmanure is to be used, it has been
piled and is in fine condition by this time,
and is drawn ON the field and distributed
in small piles suitable for spreading even
ly over the surface when the proper time
arrives. Ten days or two weeks previous
to sowing time the manure is spread and
a gang pillow put on the field, and the soil
worked over to the depth of three or four
inches. The manure is thus incorporated
with the top soil. After this the harrow
is used to further pulverize and intermin-
gle the soil and manure. If by any
means the soil is lumpy the roller is EN-
ployed. No further blowing is given, nor
deeper culture, and the seed wheat is sown
with a drill at the rate Of two bushels
per acre-Neao York Herald

SPADTNG is usually considered as being
hard work, and 50 it is when performed
altogether BY main strength, and, when sc
done, in nine cases out of ten ii is very in
differently effected for the reason that, eS
pecially in the West, the pillow is the tav
oritc implement for working with. Never
theless there are many places in the veget
able and flower garden where the pillow
cannot be used and, for the benefit ofthOse
readers who find the spade or digging-tork
Indispensable, we give the natural anC
easy mode of doing the work.
To do the work with the least labor, the
spade must be sharp and bright, and moi
too heavy. In working, the slices should
not be more than three to four inches
thick, and the digging should be per
formed with as little expenditure OF
strength as is compatible with thorough
work. In digging, the trench line should
be kept perfectly straight, and the freshly
dug earth kept far enough back from the
trench to allow the spade slice to be lifted
without striking the opposite side OF the
trench from where the workman is Oper
ating.
In digging, after the slice is cast from
the spade, the tool should be allowed tO
fall to the earth from its own weight, sim
ply being directed to the edge of the
trench. Then draw back the spade to its
proper position for taking the next slice
allowing it to enter the earth at such an
angle as is most convenient to the opera
tor, using the foot or the thigh, for the
thrust according to the depth required and
the tenacity of the soil. Bear down on
the handle to loosen the spit, and at the
same time, with a slight lift and turn OF
the wrist, the spade-full is turned upside
down, just where it was wanted. This is
followed by tap with the corner of the
spade, to break and level the surface il
necessary; a little observation and judg
ment enables the workman to complete
his work so that but little after raking is
necessary, on ordinary soils, to level the
surface
Many persons in digging worry them
selves needlesslv by taking the spit, as il
is called, too straight. AS stated before
it should be at such an angle as is most
convenient; the workman standing nearer
to or further from the trench, according
to the required depth of the tillage.
Another point to be observed is, in dig
ging about shrubbery plants or trees, dig
lightly, more and more so as you APP
proach the plants; and away from and
around them, rather than toward them
thrusting the spade, or better, digging
fork, very obliquely, thus avoiding injury
to the roots
In the fall of the year. when the soil is
to be left for the winter, the surface should
be left as rough as possible. To do this
easily the spade should be carried up al
such an angle as simply to allow the
earth to slide gently Observation-Disclosures

Preparing Stubble Ground for Wheat.

AN excellent farmer in Western New
York, who raises a great deal of wheat
after Spring grain-oats or barley-thinks
his uniform success is largely due to the
system he pursues in fitting the stubble
ground for the wheat crop. The first point
aimed at is early blowing, turning the
stubbe, with what weeds there may
be in it, under as soon as possible after
the harvest. This blowing is carefully
done, the burrows being cut narrow and no
"cut and covering" allowed. 1t is also
deeper than any previous one in the rota-
ton. If the stubble is heavy, or weeds

Excessive Use of Water.--In the
manufactures of all kinds, water very
often icedD is placed within easy reach OF
every person, male or female. and the
effect of this constant invitation is seen in
the drinking of s~hat the physicians must
regard as unreasonable amounts. The
food is thereby diluted, and the stomach
is oftentimes chilled below the tempera-
ture of the blood, and by repeated drafts
may be kept in this condition. The pro
cess of digestion is in this way seriously
interfered with A certain amount GO to
100 ouncesl of water is required daily for
the nutrition of an average adult; but OF
this total requirement 20 20 30 ounces are
contained in the so-called solid food, leav-
ing about sixty ounces to be supplied in
some form of liquid, as tea, coffee, and
water. II this amount is greatly exceeded,
it forces additional and needless work on
the organs of excretion.-Erctange.
