ness" he said; al am employed to
clean the gentlemen's coats in several
clubs; | take all the grease out of their
collars" "Indeedr' said the gentlemen,
interested, thinking he had got hold OF
one he could turn to account; how long
do you take?" why, I'll be back with
these in an hour" IF SO, you may as
well take mine," adding his coat to the

great conveniences you have in London"
remarked this country gentlemen to a
group OF his friends; &" have just given
nv coat to a man in the corridor, who
cleans coats for the club" "Who, do
you say?" cried two or three. THE man

have his card" But the knowing ones
did not wait-they hurried out to find the
pockets of some great-coats empty and
other coats altogether gone.

most profitable for home markets or for
feeding to stock, whereby they are con
verted into a more readily transported ar
ticle. The coarse, bulky productions of
the farm require condensation if they are
to be disposed of in distant markets. This
is one of the many general principles in
agriculture which is too often overlooked
and the result is loud and continued com
plants from farmers residing in localities
far distant from our best markets. They
have many advantages over farmers
nearer the larger cities, but in majority
of instances they fail to see this, or use
them for their own particular benefit. If
we take the cost of "A farm in the older
States, and the capital required to work
| it at profit, and place these side by side
with a farm of equal size in the new, we
can readily see that the latter has the adj
vantage over the former. But lack of
| Judgment on the part of the owner in re-
spect to the system of agriculture to be
followed causes him frequently, if not in
a majority of instances, to make a poorer
exhibit at the close of the year than the
! farmer of the earlier-settled State
| We have frequently asserted that locality
makes little difference so far as regards
the profits of farming; but that it is the
men who are engaged in the business that
cause such wide difference in results
| The successful and unsuccessful men
found in all communities and localities
afford sufficient proof of the truth of this
assertion. In breeding and rearing ami
mails for the farm many fail to under
stand the value of different breeds for par
ticular purposes. Horses bred for the
race-course are not the best for general
farm work, although in some instances
they may command a better price; but
the demand for this kind of animals is so
limited that the farmer, as rule, has no
occasion to either keep or breed til en-
Strong in muscle but not so fleet on foot
should be the horse most profitable to the
agriculturist. In rearing cattle man
should look to results if he wishes to sue
coed. If he is DESTROYS of producing
beef he has no occasion to pay hi Oh prices
for cows known to be valuable on account
OF the richness of their milk. On the other
hand, if milk, butter and cheese are
more prOtitably raised than beef, then IA
farmer would be very foolish to depend
upon breeds inferior in this respect. 1t
usually costs as much to keep an amin al
unsuited to our purposes as one that is
useful, and here our principle of adapta-
ton comes in with full force.
What is true in regard to horses and
cows is also true with sheep, hogs, chick
ems, and all the various animals as well as
crops produced on the farm. Even the
favorite dog may be worth as much as one
man in performing certain kinds of work,
but he must be selected from breed
known to possess the requisite qualifica-
tions to do what is required of him. No
man of sense would purchase a rat terrier
TO herd his sheep and drive his cows to
and from pasture, neither will wise man
forget that there are general principles
which he must not only study but put in
practice in order to succeed in any par
ticular branch of agriculture.-Neo York

to his custody, but when the entertain

trick was lately played by "sneak
thief at a London club. He entered the
hall without attracting the notice of the
porter, and proceeded to empty the peck

who in establishment asked him what he

DoN'T TAMPER WITH CoUGH.-Perhaps in
the whole category of diseases to which hui
manity is susceptible, the cough is most neg
lected in its early stage. simple cough is
generally regarded as temporary affection
unpleasant and nothing more, but to those
who have paid dearly for experience. it is the
signal for attack for the most fearful of all
diseases Consumption. A cough will lead to
consumption-if not checked-so sure as the
rivuet leads to the river, yet it is an easy enc
my to thwart, if met by the proper remedy.

STATISTICS SHOW that of the thousands
who die annually large proportion are
destroyed, not by old age, or by the natu-
raj exhaustion of vitality, but through in
temperance, or disregard, either on the
part of the sufferer or his parents, of the
simplest laws of nature. Such being the
case-and .fgures cann0t misrepresent facts
the conclusion is that, were the causes
of intemperance, its kindred vices, and a
disregard of natural laws removed, the
average length of the human lifetime
you'd be extended proportionately What
agent most rapidly, harmiessly and GER
tainly will eradicate these vices, or the
tendency to them, is the question which
has been as thoroughly and persistently
agitatcd as has the search for the Philos-
opher's stone. The discovery has been
made by DIR. Joseph Walker, whose wide

plishing wonders which the old-fogy doc

See Deuteronomy, Chap. xii, Verse %. The
blood being the source from which our sys-
TENS are built up and from which we derive
our mental as well physical capabilities,
how important that it should be kept pure.
II it contains vile, fostering poisons all organic
functions are weakened thereby. Settling
upon important organs, as the lungs, liver or
kidneys, the effect is most disastrous. Hence
1t behooves every one to keep their blood in a
perfectly healthy condition, and more espe-
cially does this apply at this particular season
OF the year than at any other. No matter
what the exciting cause may he, the real cause
of large proportion of all diseases is bad
blood Now DIR. Pierce does not wish to place
his Golden Medical Discovery in the catalogue
of quack patent nostrums by recommending
it to cure every disease, nor does he so recon-
mend it; on the contrary there are hundreds of
diseases that he acknowledges it will not cure;
but what he does claim is this, that there is but
one form of blood disease that it will not cure,
and that disease is cancer. He does not recon-
mend his Discovery tor that disease, yet he
knows 1t to be the most searching blood
cleanser yet discovered, and that it will free
the blood and system of all other known blood
polsons, be they animal, vegetable or mineral.
The Golden Discovery is warranted by him to
cure the worst forms of Skin Diseases, as all
forms of Blotches, Plmples and Eruptions,
also all Glandular Swellings, and the worst
form of Scrofulous and liberated Sores of
Neck, Legs or other parts, and all Scrofulous
Diseases of the Bones, as White Swellngs,

hip, discharging Large quantities, and since
that time there are several openings. Have

of your discovery, for she was not able to get
of the bed and was not expected to live a
