THnouen all the ages Of study and
investigation which have marked the
path of scientific discovery, one espec-
tally alluring object has tempted the
inquiries and speculations of philoso-
pliers. 1t is what the wizards and
witches of olden time, the jugglers of
India, soothsayers of Arabia, Mali of
Egypt, necromancers of Turkey and
the Orient, and alchemists of civilized
Europe have sought, but sought il,
vain-a vegetable non poisonous Eliri,.,
which, by cleansing the blood, remov-
ing from the system all impurities,
strengthening the nerves, the muscles,
and the brain, and vitalizing every fibre
OF the system, should bid defiance to
tho corroding hand of disease.

Mixed Graves.
AT the annual meeting of the Agricul-
tural Association, a paper was read upon
growing grass. In thediscussion which
followed it was remarked that farmers
should be careful to SOW together only
those grasses which ripen at the same
time: This is mistaken idea. The
chief reason why variety of grasses
should not be sown is, that there may
ne constant succession of growth.
The weakest point of our meadows is
that the grass ripens, fades and s,s.
ponds growth for the season, leaving a
brown. withered or bare surface. If
there were succession of consecutivelv
ripening grasses, there would be con-
tlnued greenness and verdure, and if
the pastures were only not over-stocked,
tins would be as great an approach rs
We can make with our peculiar climate
toward permanently green meadow or
pasture. But if all grasses ripen at
once, we may as we'll continue to grow
one single good grass, as several good
and bad ones. - "a
80 =. How to Keep Eggs Fresh.
My plan for the past eight years has
been us follows: They are gathered
every day. and kept in my house, in a
box Of kiln-dried sawdust which is about
one inch thick. They may be kept on
the end or flat, and care must be taken
to turn them over at least three times
week: Impregnated eggs viii hatch
well If kept in this way, even if they be
two months old. I now have seven
chicks Cfrom nine eggs) which were kept
rs above, and I am positive they were
over five weeks old when put under the
hen. 1t is necessary to be careful in
turning them over that they do not get
any sudden jar, rs that ofttimes pre-:
vents their hatching.-Cor. Rural Ne,v

El,truScdU Numerals.

At late meeting Of the Pathological
Society paper on Etruscan numerals
was read by the Rev. Isaac Taylor. He
said that the long-sought key to the
Etruscan language had been found in
a tomb, having their six faces marked
with words instead Of by pips. Nj.
Taylor examined these six words in
detail, and showed that they were iden-
tical with the first six digits belonging
to the Altaic branch of the Tnranian
family of speech. Guided by this clue
it was easy to show that the grammar
and vocabulary Of the 5000 Etruscan
inscriptions were also Altaic The
words denoting kindred, the pronouns,
the participates, and the decleDsions
corresponded closely with those of the
Tartar tribes of Siberia. The Etrus-
can mythology proved to be essentially
the same as that Of the Kalevala, the
great Finnic epic. sas

Co., of Chicago
The most remarkable and powerful
questionably,, the War which the Far
mers are waging against the Monopolies
Of all kinds that have for so long been
robbing the people and depressing the
toiling portion of our community. ga.
The work begins with the causes
which have aroused the American peo-
pie against the Monopolists, and treats
of the railroad system of the country,
it's growth, actual condition and pros
poets. It then shows how this noble
system has been perverted to further
the ends of selfish capitalists and rail-
road directors, who seek gain at the
expense Of the community; and we are
given terrible and thrilling account of
the crimes and frauds of the railroad
corporations of to-day. The author
yields a fearless and vigorous pen, and
points out the evils which this selfish
greed has entailed upon us. He shows
how the great corporations have been
able to control the whole country; how
they have robbed the nation, and cor
rupted our CONGRESS-, State Legisla-
lures, and Courts of Justice.
Passing from Monopolists and their
outrages, the author takes up the cause
of the wronged and oppressed farmers,
and gives us a detailed statement of
the evils from which the farming class
is suffering. He analyses skillfully the
causes of these evils, and shows how
and by whom the farmers are robbed.
considerable portion OF the work is
devoted to a history of the Order of
Patrons of Husbandry. A complete
account of the organization and object
of the order is given; it's laws and
mode of procedure are stated; and
each feature is explained at length.
It is decidedly the most interesting
and useful volume Of the day, and as
it comes at time when the whole coun
try is suffering intensely from the effects
of the evils 1t denounces, cannot fail to
have tremendous sale. 1t is an ably
written work, and bold and vigorous
plea In behalf of the farmers and all
who are oppressed and robbed by the
grasping Monopolies which are causing
so much trouble.
The book is sold by subscription
only, and the publishers want agents
in every county. See advertisement IN
another column.
