GROWTH IN Neutrality-suspicious. re-
garding the rate of growth in ma have
determined the following interesting
facts: The most rapid growth takes
placeimmediately after birth, the growth
Of an infant during tbs first year of its
existence being about eight inches. The
ratio Of increase gradually decreases
until the age of three years is reached,
at which time the size attained is half
that which it is to become when full
grown. After five years the succeeding
increase is very regular till the six
teenth year, being at the rate for the
average man of two inches a year.,
Beyond sixteen, the growth is feeble,
being for the following two years about
six-tenths of an inch a year; while from
eighteen to twenty the increase in
height is seldom over one inch. At the
age OF twenty-five the growth ceases,
save in few exceptional cases. 1t has
furthermore been observed that, in the
same race, the mean size is a little larger
in cities than in the country, q fact that
will be received with doubt by many
who have come to regard the rustic as
the true model

Well Endorsed.-The Gift Concerts in aid
of the Kentucky Library are not al all s~peculat-
i've. The institution is chartered by the State
OF Kentucky. The first prize i'll the next draw
ing, which takes place November 80, is S25O,000.
1t is a reliable Institution, and some one will get
that money. And that there may be no doubt
as to the honesty Of its management we cite the
fact that the first banks in Louisville indorse it,
and that Governor Thomas E. Bramlette, of
Louisville, is the general manager. An institu-

Heart Disease.
FASHIONABLE COMPLAINT AMONG
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

IN the course of q lecture recently
delivered in New York, DR.. Lyman
said: Heart Disease, among both ladies
and gentlemen, is the one most in vogue
at present. Asynonym for psuedo heart
disease is indigestion. False modes Of
dress, by crOwding the heart, cause it to
beat irregularly. Remedy the dress, and
the heart will BEAUTIFULLY perform it's
functions. The heart is almost the last
organ to become disease, because il has
a great work to do. Nature made it
strong and supplied it with as few
nerves as possible. Women who faint.
al rule, have too small cavities for
heart and lungs. Painting is a provision
OF nature for the reinstatement Of the
body, by allowing the heart a brief
respite. When the stomach is unduly
distended by food, the heart is crowded
and complains. Good, straight Shout
ders are highly essential to women. II
she possesses an erect from, q W0man's
heart has q better opportunity to beat
evenly and healthfuily. -
Many mistake a p~alpitating sensa-
ton OF the muscular wall of that portion
of the stomach nearest the heart for
an affection Of the heart. Adipose or
fatty accumulation around the heart
will often render its beating labored or
heavy. The heart is not, however,
diseased; it is only working under
difficulties. Prostitution also affects the
beating of the heart, causing it to
pulsate more rapidly. Strength will
remove this difficulty. 1T is q theory
with some physicians that in a natural
life the heart heats only aLuivnn nrmher
of times. If this be SO, running ND and
down stairs, intense excitement, hurry,
by increasing the numberOf heart beats
diminish the length of ones life. It
is a well-knOwn fact a racehOrse is not
long lived, because, having such a de-
mand made upon the action of it's heart,
the heart-muscles wear out sooner than
they otherwise would. . .g

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune cures wens on his cattle as fol-
lows: Take half a pint of soft soap and
dry-slacked lime in powder, mix them
somewhatthicker than a common white
wash, take a piece Of shingle, or some
thing similar, and rub in the mixture
well for four or FIVE times once a day,
or in MS many mornings; let it heal of
itself, and by thattime the wen is off,
and your cow win lose neither milk nor
flesh under the treatment. There is no
patent right to this; it Is free to all who
may see fit.to use it.

How THE CHICKEN GETS OUT OF THE
SHELL.-Take an egg out of a nest on
which the hen has sat near her full time,
carefully holding it to the ear; turning
it around, you will find the exact spot
On which the little fellow is picking on
the inside of the shell this he will do
until the inside skin is perforated, and
then the shell is forced outward as a
small scale, leaving a hole. Now if you
will take one of the eggs in this cOndi-
ton from under the hen, remove it to
the house or other suitable place, put it
in a box or nest, keeping it warm and
moist, as near the temperature of the
hen as possible (Which may be done by
laying it between two bottles of warm
water upon some cotton or wo0l,) and
lay a glass Over the box or nest. Then
you can sit or stand, as is most cOnven-
lent, and witness the true modaS 0pe-
randi. Now watch the little fellow
work its way into the world, and you
will be amused and instructed, as have
often been. After it has got its open
ing it commences q nibbling motion
with the point OF tho upper bill on the
outside of the shell, always working to
the right (if you have the large end of
the egg from you and the hole upward,O
until it has worked its way almost
around, say within one-half an inch, in
a perfect circle it then forces the cap
or butt end Of the shell off, and then it
has q chancet to straighten it's meek, there
by loosening it legs somewhat, and so,
by their help, forcing the body from the
shell.|EAmeIican Farm journal.

Upon q ranch in Nevada there is a
herd of twenty-six camels, all bred in
that State. Some years ago nine or ten
cameIs we're imported into that State,
but Of these only two lived or become
aeclimated, and from this pair have
been raised twenty-four. The owners
find no difficulty in rearing them, and
can show twenty-four fine, healthy
animals. The camel may now be said
to be thoroughly acclimated in Nevada.
The owners find it no more difficult to
breed and rear them than would be ex-
perienced with the, same number Of don
keys. The ranch upon which they are
kept is sandy and sterile in the extreme,
vet the animals feast and grow fat on
such prickly shrubs and bitter weeds as
no other animal could touch. When
left to themselves their great delight,
after filling themselves with the coarse
heritage of the desert, is to lie and roll
in the hot sand. They are usedin pack
ing salt to the mills on the river from
the marshes lying IN the desert some
sixty miles eastward.

with soapsuds frequently, and occasion
ally with q little tobacco water, or q
decoction Of quassia chips. If the red
spider comes, It shows the plants are in

sulphur under the plants, the fumes of
which will kill the spider, and after
ward keep the stems and leaves well
moistened. Occasionally, bnt not of

can be avoided in a great measure by

cases also fiFa drops Of liquid ammo
