The Preserration of Timber.

L came here thirty years since, and
began clearing land, building houses
with heWn logs and boards split from
the tree. After several years residence
L noticed very often that pieces of the
same KIND of timber decayed more
quickly than others and after much
obs ervatlon, came to the conclusion
that timber felled after the leaf was
fully grown lasted the longest. / no.
tlced that timber felled when the leaf first
commenced to grow rotted the sap of
very quickly, but the heart remained
sound that timber felled after the fall
OF the leaf rotted in the heart, even
ti Wnen apparently sound on the outside.
w men hre-wood cut in the winter was
put on the lire the sap came out of the
heart but when cut in the summer,
the sap came out of the sap-wood and
next the bark. / noticed also that all
our Iastlng wood had but little sap
at any tlme IN the heart such as cedae,
mulberry, sassafras, and cypress. "A
cypress post cut in the summer of 1888
IS stIll sound, although exposed to all
weathers, while one of the same kind
OF timber, cut in the winter of 1856
and painted, has rotted in the heart. l
saw Yesterday a piece of gum plank,
Whlch L sawed in the summer of 1859,
that has lain exposed ever since, and is
perfectly sound white oak timber that
was telled in the winter before is now
entirely rotten. My conclusion then is :
Cut timber after full leaf, say in July
and august, e get the most last from
1t. The sap soes into the heart of the
tree after leaf fall, and causes decay.

The Higher Education of Women.

We yield to no others in the earnest
ness of our belief in the higher educa-
ton of women: but we want to see
them take the matter In their own hands
and work out a system of mental cultl-
I vations adapted to their own ma
lures and needs. The higher education
as embodied in existing institutions
cannot meet this requirement. 1t is in
fact, under indictment for non-adapta-
ton to the present wants of men /; and
one of the most profound and impor-
tant of the reforms of our age Is that
thorough modification of collegiate
methods of study that shall bring them
up TO the demands of modern life.
That they now answer to these demands
bat very few will maintain. There are
many, and the number is increasing,
who do not go TO college because the
education there obtained is thought to
be of little use to the possessor, if not
indeed a hindrance to him in his future
experience with the world. Thousands
ignore all consideration of the useful
ness of what is 10 be learned, and go or
are sent to college because it is the
proper thing, a fashion of society, and
his its social benefits and many un-
doubtedIy go because they have been
made to believe that the old education
is the perfection OF human wisdom for
mental discipline, and is, after all, the
best thing even for practical life. Yet
the distrust of the system is deep, and
has already made itself so powerfully
felt that the colleges have been com
PEELED to yield to it, and in many cases
to modify their methods of instruction
and create supplemental schools de-
voted to modern knowledge. The
"a Tins in cfata Of
conflict and transition the old educa-
ton is giving way, and new education
is rising in its place.-POoulGr Science

THE bloodis the life" When this source is

the noxious elements. it is net OF practical i'm
pOrtance that | should describe each For in
stance, medical authors describe about fifty
varieties OF skin disease but as they all re-
quiTe for THEFT cure very similar treatment il is
Of no practical utility to know Just what name

you know how best to cure it. Then again l
might go on and describe various kinds of

ance might describe how vilulent poison NAV

GERS, sore throat, Ony tumors. etc; but as all
these various appearing manifestations of bad
blood are cured by uniform means, 1 deem
such course unnecessary. Thoroughly
cleanse the blood, which Is the great fountain
OF life. and good digestion, q fair skin, buoy
ant spirits, vital strength, and soundness of
constitution, will all return to us. For this
purpose DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Disco e.
