DR., SCHENcK's PULMONIc SYRUP, SEA WEED

have undoubtedly performed more cures Of Con-

American public. They are compounded " vegct-
/ able ingredients, and contains nothing which can
| be injurious to the human constitution. Other
| remedies advertised cures for consumption,
drobably contains opium, which is a somewhat
dangerous drug In all cases, and If taken freely by
consumptive patients, it must bo great injury; for
its tendency is to confne the morbid matter in the
system which, Of course, must make cure impOss-
| ible. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not
to contain dartcale Of opium: 1t is composed of
powerful but harmless herbs, which act on the
lungs, liver, stomach and blood, and thus correct
| all morbid secretions, md expel all the diseased
matter from the body. Thease are the only means
by which Consumption can be cured, and as
Schenck's Pulmornic Syrup, Sea Weed, Tonic, and

FARM AND GARDEN
Taints in Butter,

1t is perfectly astonishing that so little
care is taken with the products of the
dairy among the farmers generally
throughout the country. Time and again
have writers and agricultural experiment
ers demonstrated that milk and butter
particularly are susceptible to foreign
taints and Odors to a remarkable degree,
yet the whole matter of care in preventing
the access of Objectionable odors is re-
garded with Indifference. We have had
occasion lately in visiting farm-houses in
different localities, to inspect the accom-
modiations for the dairy, and in very few
instances, indeed, were proper means
taken to secure proper ventilation and
security for the production Of a sweet and
marketable butter. In several cases the
milk was set on shelves in cellars in which
heaps of decaying roots and vegetables
were living, and the odor which arose from
them was anything but agreeable. In
one case, a tub half filled with dirty
clothes was standing in the cellar in close
proximity to the milk shelves, and in an
other cellar was petroleum or kerosene
barrel which sent forth its peculiar odor
very perceptibly. Of course the milk
absorbed the various taints with which the
air was burdened, and the consequence
was, apoor, almost unmarketable quality
of butter was churned, when good sweet
product might with proper care have been
secured. Farmers often sneak, sometimes
snceringly, of 'gilt-edged BUTTER" mean
ing that which brings the highest market
price, but complain when perhaps a
third, or half of the gilt-edged price is
offered them for theirs. The high price
is simply the return for the exercise OF
proper care and attention which they in
preparing their butter failed to give.
There are many more customers in town
and city who will pay almost any price
for the best quality of butter that can be
supplied, and there is no excuse for the
production of an inferior quality.-Mass.
Pl0ughman.

The Check-Rein.

The following communication to the
London Daily Ne,os from Mr.. Flower,
an enthusiastic horscman, on the .cruel
practice of straining up the heads of
horses in an unnatural position for the
sake of the supposed "stylish' appearance,
is as applicable to Canada as to England
Much has been written and said about
cruelty to animals, and a very excellent
society is doing much to suppress it, in
many ways very successfully; but there
is one most cruel and barbarous practice
going on all around us, of which they
take no notice, possibly because the per-
petrators are in the higher classes of So
cicty, which really makes it much worse,
for they ought to know better. This stu
pid and cruel practice is the use of the
gag or Bedouin bearing-rein to carriage
horses, which not only puts the animal
to present torture, but by forcing the
head into an unnatural position, brings on
many painful and fatal disorders. Let
any one watch the horses in the Park, or
standing as they do for hours at the the
aires, shops, etc, with foaming mouths
and tongues swollen and hanging out,
trying to get little ease to their poor
heads and necks by tossing them up,
putting them SIDEWAYS or in any posi-
bic position, vainly appealing to their I'M
needing or ignorant masters or coachmen
to slacken, if only for a few minutes, the
torturing rein, and then say if we can
call ourselves humane peODle"

HOUSEHOLD.
Luxury of Easy Dresses.

Very few know how to appreciate an
easy, healthful dress. They think their
dresses are loose when a man or boy put
into one would gasp for breath, and feel
incapable of putting forth any effort ex-
cept to break the bands. Ladies are so
accustomed to the tight fits of their dress
makers, that they 'fall to pieces when
relieved of them. They associate the
loose dress with the bed or lounge. To
be up they must be stayed up, and to
recommend comfortable dress to them
is not to meet a conscious want of theirs.
1t is great pity none the less. If they
could once know what luxury it is to
breathe deep and full at each respiration,
to feel the refrcshment which the system
takes in by having the blood enlivened
and sent bounding through the veins, to
have the aids to digestion, which such
process gives, to have their own strong,
elastic muscles keep every organ in place,
and themselves erect; if they could for a
good long while know this blessed lux
ury, and then be sent back into the old,
stiff, straight jackets, they would fume
and fret and rave in very desperation if
they could not get rid of them.
AS it is they prefer to languish and
suffer dreadfully, and die young, and
leave all their friends, and their husband,
and their little children; and / do not see
any other way but to let them be sick
and die till they are satisfied. If only
the sinner were the sufferer, there would
not be occasion to make great ado about
it; but the blighting of future innocent
lives, which must follow, renders the false
habits of our women in the highest degree
criminal.-La,os Of Lye.

"Vell, den, l sthays nit Detroit till I

away and walked around the depot. He
expected to be called back as he left the
window, as man is often called back to
s'take it along when he has been chatting
with clothing dealer. Such an event
did not occur, and, after few minutes.
the old man returned and called out:

see if the agent would not call him, and,
after a stroll around, he returned to the
window, threw down some money, and
said:
"Vell, dake two dollar und twenty

Old Times.
There's beautiful song on the slumbcrous

There's a beautiful song on the slumbcrous
air
That drifts through the valley of dreams
It comes from cline where the roses were,
And tuneful heart, and bright brown hair
That waved in the morning beams.
Soft eyes of azure and eyes Of brown,
And snow-white foreheads are there,
A glimmering cross and a glittering crown,
A thorny bed and a couch of down, D.
Lost hopes and leaflets of prayer.
A rosy leaf in dimplcd hand,
A ring and plighted VOW;
Three golden rings on a broken hand,
A tiny track on the snow white sand,
A tear and II sinless brow.
There's tincture of grief In the beautiful
song
That sobs on the summer air,
And loneliness felt in the festive throng
Sinks down in the soul as it trembles along
From cline where the roses are
We heard it first at the dawn of day,
And it minglcs with matin chimes;
But years have distanced the beautiful lay,
And its melody floweth away
And we call it now :" Old Times"

CHILDREN the pure breath of chill
dren revives the life of aged men, so is
our moral nature revived by their free and
simple thoughts, their native feeling, their
airy mrth for little cause Or none, their
grief, soon aroused and soon allayed.
Their influence on us is at least reciprocal
with ours on them. When our infancy is
almost forgotten, and our boyhood long
departed, though it seems but as yester-
day; when life settles down darkly upon
us, and we doubt whether to call our
selves young any more, then it is good to
steal away from the society of bearded
men, and even of gentler women, and
spend an hour or two with children.
After drinking from those fountains of
still fresh existence, we shall return into
the crowd to struggle onward and do our
part in life, perhaps as fervently as ever,
but, for a time, with wiser and purer
heart, and spirit more lightly wise.

Smuggling by Tourists.

The Commissioner of Customs has re-
ceived to-day an official report of an i'm
portant capture of large quantity of du-
table goods attempted to be passed
through the Custom House at New York
as personal baggage. A few days ago
gentleman and family, wife and two sons,
arrived from Liverpool by the steamship
Java. In the list prepared by the person,
and which purported. to be correct state
ment, twelve trunks and four packages
were given The suspicious of the Gus
tom House officers were aroused by one
of the trunks, which bore the name of
merchant on Broadway, residing on Mad.
ison avenue. The person was asked
whether he claimed that trunk He re-
replied that he did. The trunk was
watched to its destinatiOn The party,
unaware of the real character of the per-
sons delivering it, was CRAFTY rejoiced at
the safe arrival of his gods, After an
swering some questions, which left no
doubt of an attempt to suuggle, the con-
tents were examined and he trunk seized.
1t was found that the pei0n who brought
the goods from Europe WIS gentleman
of means living in Phadelphia, The
officers at once proeeededto that city and
seized the other trunks. Upon their arri.
val they were found to cntain silks and
other articles of ladies' md gentlemen
wear, fine set of silvcrplated harness
horse blankets, and mann other articles
not in the line of wearing apparel, Inc
dutiable articles were valued at s., $50 20
which is admitted to be considerably be
low the true value. The duties in golt
are 81 ,301 80, exclusive OF the trunk cap
tured in New York. The party claiming
the struggled goods has therefore beei
required to pay upwards OF S4,ooo 10
their recovery, in default of which the.
will be seized Orders have been lssue'
to all custom-hous Officers to exercis
unusual diligence in detecting this IN

posed to urge the adoption by Congress
of some more definite measure in regar
