THE GOLD MARKET.
Al the opening tine gold speculation was torpid,
but subsequently prices improved in sympathy
with the shipments OF specie. The extremes OF
me week were liz and i12zS. The policy OF selling
Rold Is not regarded with general favor by our
ananclers, although the necessity is apparent as
she result OF the large expenditures entailed upon
the Treasury Department without an equivalent
revenue to meet the same. so long as this prac-
tice Is continued resumption must be postponed.
The daily and monthly statements OF the amount
Of coin on hand are nattering enough; but when We
subtract the certificates OF deposit and the amount
due for accrued and acctuing interest the exhibit
loses much OF its rose color and shows that the
Treasury, even In gold, is tntrinsically weak.

To Stop the Growth Of BOils.

DIR. Simon, of Lorraine, advocates a
means of stopping boils and furuncles
which he declares InfaIIible. As soon as
he perceives on any part of the surface
the Characteristic redness of varying
form and size, with a eliminating point
in the center which soon passes from red
to white, he puts in saucer a Thin
bleful Of campnorated alcohol, dips the
palmer surface Of the three middle fin
gers-in the liquid, and gently rubs the
infamed surface, especially the central
portion. This is repeated eight or ten
times, for about half a minute. The
surface is then allowed to become quite
dry, and slight coating Of camphorated
olive oil is applied, TO prevent the eva
poration of the alcohol. Boils or furun-
cles seldom require more than four ap-
plications, and often a single one is
enough to cause them TO dry up and dis
appear. When several applications are
needed, they should be made at intervals
say morning, midday, and evening. The
same treatment is equally successful in
withlow, and all injuries of the tips of
the fingers. As soon as pain and redness
are perceived in the finger, it should be
soaked for ten minutes in camphorated
alcohol, then we'll dried, and finally soak
ed in camphorated sweet oil. The re-
lief will be immediate and three appli-
cations generally effect perfect cure.

Scribner's Monthly for October.

Scribner's Monthly for October opens
with another munifcently illustrated
"Great South" paper, by Edward King,
entitled, "Down the MississIppi-the
Labor Question-Arkansas;" it contains
much picturesque description, and prac-
tical information. The important essay
of this number is a very careful study
of George Eliot's novels, by W. c.
Wilkinson. Mr.. Nadal, formerly with
Mr.. Motley in London, and now Iitera-
ry editor of the an. Y. Evening Post"
has a charming sketch of Oxford. Mr..
Cable, the New Orleans story-writer,
gives us another characteristic sketch of
life in the American Parts; his present
story, "Tite Poulette," i" is highly dramat-
ic and exciting. Katherine Earle"
and "Ordronnaux" are concluded;
katherine Earle will be published in
book form by Lee and Shepard), and
Jules Verne's mysterious Island" is
continued. Then we have "a Royal
Hair-Cutting," "Sam Reno" "The
Rose of Carolina "Old Time Music, -
&c.
In Topics Of the Time" DIR. Hol-
land writes about Mr.. Beecher, the pres
ent theological outlook, the Rewards
of Literary Labor" &c. "The Old
Cabinet" is devoted to Good Taste, and
the other departments have about their
usual variety.
In the November Scribner new story
by SAKE Holm will begin, 10 run
through three or four numbers.

Robinson CrusOe's Island.

Crusoe's island is to-day little para
disc. Lord planted there, on one of his
voyages, apples, peaches, grapes, plums,
strawberries, and several kinds of vege-
tables. The number of the latter was
increased by Scotchman, David
Douglas, who landed on the island in
1925.
He was not a little astonished to find
hermit there, who had been on the is
land five years. On the second day he
was not little surprised to see man
suddenly emerge from a clump of bush
es and approach him. He looked upon
himself as Crusoe's successor, although
he did not occupy the historical cave,
having built himself hut of stones and
sods, roofing it with the straw of wild
oats. AS cooking utensils, he possessed
only single iron pot, the bottom of
which, one unfortunate day, had fallen
out. This damage he had, however, had
the ingenuity to repair with a wooden
bottom; but now he was compelled to
place his pot in the ground and build a
fire around it.
This mans name was William Clark.
and he came from London. He had
few books, and among them there was
copy of Robinson Crusoe's adventures
and of Cowper's poems. He called
Douglas attention especially TO the well
known poem beginning:
al am monarch of all survey,
My right there is none to dispute" ect-
Nevertheless, he did not seem to be very
happy. There was ore wish, his great
est, that he could not gratify-he could
get no roast beef.
At present, this island is in the pos
session of colony of Germans. Sixty
or seventy under the leadership of an
engineer named Robert Wehrhahn, set
tied there in 1868. They describe the
island as begin in the highest degree
salubrious and fruitful. On their ar
rival they found large flocks of goats,
about thirty half-wilw horses, and some
sixty asses. They brought with them
COWS, hogs, fowls, farming utensils,
small boats, and fishing g-tackle.-Apple-

Pens for Swine.

The New York Herald says; A few
days since the writer called at a neigh
boris residence, who had beautifu
Chester White SOW with three pigs about
six weeks old She brought forth nine,
but overlain six ofthem. The pigs we're
worth five dollars each. Hence there
was loss Of thirty dollars simply be-
cause his foreman did not understand
how 70 prepare a suitable bed for a
breeding SOW. A large quantity Of straw
had been allowed to accumulate in her
sleeping apartment, so that she had
formed deep hollow about the size Of
her body. As the young pigs could not
get out Of such place when the dam
was about to lie down, they were smoth-
cred. Our own practice with brood sows
has always been TO remove all the straw
from the sow's bed at least a month prior
to the birth Of her breed, and spread a
few punches Of cut straw on the floor for
her to lie on. Young pigs will never
become entangled in such a bed, neither
will they get cornered SO that the dam
will overlay them. When pigs are worth
five dollars it will pay the proprietor 10
prepare suitable bed for the SOW
Long straw should never be spread in a
brood sow's sleeping apartment, except
when no pigs are expected.
