Three Points for Consideration.

The Rest Evidence.

The following letter from Rev. L. S. BEST,
pastor NJ. Z. church. Natick, Mass, viii be read
with interest by many physicians. Also those
suffering from the same disease as afflicted the
son OF the Rev. E. S. Best No person can doubt
this testimony, and there is no doubt about
the curative powers of VEGETlNE:
NATICk, Mass, Jan. l, 1874.
Mr.. II. r. STEVENS:
Dear Strive have good reason for regarding
your VEGETINE a medicine OF the greatest
value. We feel assured that 1t has been the
means OF saving our sons life. He Is now
seventeen years OF age; for the last two years
he has suffered from necrosis OF his leg, caused
by scrofulous affection. and was so far reduced
that nearly all who saw him though his re-
covery impossible. A council OF able physicians
could give us but the faintest hope OF his ever
rallying, two OF the number declaring that he
was beyond the reach or human remedies, that
even amputation could not save him, ms he had
not vigor enough to endure the operation. just
then we commenced giving him VEGETINE,
and from that time TO the present he has been
continuously improving. He has lately resum-
and walks about cheerfully and strong.
Though there is still some discharge from the
opening where the limb was lanced, we have
the fullest confidence that In q little time he
will be perfectly cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles OF
vEGETINE. but lately uses but little, as he de-
clares that he Is too well TO be taking medicine.
Respectfully yours,
Il. s. BEST,
Mrs. l.. c. +. BEST

The Maelstrom as 1t Is.

Nearly midway in London strait,
huge naked rock; which might fairly be
called an island, lifts itself above the
waters, breasting the conflicting cur
rents caused by the winds and tides.
Between this rock and the cape on
Muskong is the famous maelstrom.
which fertile imaginations have clothed
with many terrors. It's geographical
position is such as to expose it to fierce
tidal currents, and, when these ere assist
ed by high westerly winds, they are, no
doubt, terrific. The bottom of the
strait is strewn with immense boulders.
which are SO arranged as to give the
current spiral motion, directed tow ards

side, which is much increased in times
OF high tides and storms, when it whirls
quite around the island rock. Then it

to keep clear of rocks against which
the hayward currents would dash them.
While there are at times vast and pow
erful eddies, which give objects floating
upon them fearful spiral motion, there
is nothing like vortex produced by
a subterranean discharge of the
water, although the tumbling and boil
ing character of the spiral current may
submerge temporarily objects drifting
on the surface. No doubt in the course
OF time the action of the water has
tended to level down the bed of rocks,
some of which, we presume, showed
themselves above the surface. This
may have made the maelstrom much
more terrific than it is now, and better
justified the ancient fable. AS is in
ordinary times, and in favorable wealth

seek for fares throughout these waters.

Spelling-Bee i'm England.

The first spelling bee in England was
held recently at Islington. under the
American rules, Webster's Dictionary
being the standard. Thirty-two gentle
men and eighteen ladies essayed their
skill before a crowded audience. In
the end the sexes divided the prizes
equally, though the first prize fell to a
gentleman. The words that proved too
much for the powers of all except the
prizetakers were not very difficult.
"Rhedodendron, s'apocryphal, "phil-
ippic," s'hendomadally," and sscameleo-
pard," put large number hopelessly
out of the contest, and at last, :ssesqui-
pedahan" was only spelt correctly by
Mr.. Jameson, the winner. Prizes to
the amount Of IS rewarded the six sue
cessful spoilers out of the fifty who en-
tered.

Two Bright Animals.
Our Dumb Animals.

These two dogs were often observed
to go to . certain point together, when
the small one remained behind ct cor
ner of q large field, while the mastiff
went around by the side of the field,
which led up hill for nearly mile and
led to wood on the left. Game abound
ed IN those districts, and the object of
the dogs arrangement was soon seen.
The terrier would start hare and
chase it up hill toward the large woods
at the summit, where tbay arrived some
what tired. At this point the large
dog, which was fresh and had rested af-
ter his walk, darted after the animal,
which he usually captured They then
ate the hare between them and returned
home. This course had been system
atically carried on for some time before
it was fully understood.

English Extravaganza Of Living.

A tart but somewhat humorous cor
respondent of the Pail Mall Gazette
offers some remarks on social life in
England, which are not without q GER
tain value in this latitude. He says:
!" Nothing more astonishes the stran-
gers mind here than the juxtaposition,
the mixture of meanness and magnif-
cence. the cause is soon learned. We
islanders will spend thirteen pence out
Of the shilling when the continental
spends eleven pence. And why do
families migrate abroad for economy 2
The price of the pound Of bread is
much the same in all parts of the civil
lized world. The truth is that what
we deem necessaries in England we
find to be luxuries abroad. Economy
results not from paying less, but from
wanting less. In England we eat too
much meat; once day should suffice
for all save the hardest-worked work
ingmen. We drink too much; 'diffusible
stimulants should not be used, except
by invalids, till late in the day; and the
modern system of drops and 'pick-me-
ups vulgarly called snips, would ruin
the strongest constitution. We smoke
too much. Wisely said the Hodges Of
yore to their heirs, Let not the smoke
of the pipe go up between thee and the
sun Z and the practice of perpetual
cigaretting is. if possible, worse than
snips.' We ride and drive, even in
cabs, when we should walk; we pass
our evenings at expensive entertain
nents instead of cheap spectacles; in
fact, we do number of things which
make life, 80 economical abroad. dear
in England. The reduction of even
small incomes may do immense national
good by preaching more simplicity of
life. Half the average establishment of
the small RENTER is an excess. The

OregOn'S Future.

Oregon promises to be great wheat
producing state. A vast district of its
rich soil has not yet been placed under
cultivation. The total for all products,
including that now under cultivation,
and such as is suitable for tillage, is
placed at not less than 2, 752 900 acres.
Allowing one-fourth of this amount for
wheat, 688, 900 acres, with the average
production at twenty live per acre, the
total capacity of this staple alone,
would be 1920, 900 bushels per year.
Of this amount the estimates place the
home consumption in round numbers at
j 500, 600 bushels, leaving an available
export surplus OF Is, zoe, 600 bushels.
The subdivision of its farming land
gives the state great advantage
over California, and when fully cult
waited will undoubtedly divert no little
trade from that quarter.
