Farmers Not Dealers.

The following decision by Judge BibbIe;
rendered Few days ago in the Philadel-
phia Court of Common Pleas, is Il matter
Of considerable interest 10 the farmers Of
the country:
''Charles II. Hunsicker, of Norristown,
Hon. William Darlington, Wayne McVegan
and Thomas II. Spcalman, OF West Ches-
ter, recently appeared in the Court of Com
mon Pleas, before Judge Biddle as counsel
for farmers from Chester, Montgomery and
adjoining counties, who sell produce in the
markets of that city. The authorities had
attempted to levy tax on the farmers, on
| the ground shat they were dealers The
Judge delivered his opinion involving the
definition of the world dealer, as applied
to farmers. Under the act of 1871 it was
! sought to impose the mercantile tax upon
the farmers He says that never since the
act was passed has the Signi6cation beeh'
given to it as now claimed by the apprais-
ers For thirty-tou years all those whose
! duty it was to enforce it have acquesced
in considering it as having no applications
/ to farmers. \ dealer is one whose busi-
ness it is TO buy and SELL He is the mid
die man who stands between the producer
and consumer his profit is not derived
from selling the produce Of his farm or his
factory, but from his skill in knowing when
to buy and how TO sell the products Of
others.-'In all enlightened legislation the
effort is made to bring the producers ami
consumers together, aud probably nothing
has done more to gives character to our
markets and to promote the health of our
people than the efforts we have always made
to obtain the necesSares OF life from those
who produce them. The fact that the far,
mer sometimes accommodates his neigh
bors by selling their produce we do not
think affects this question, even if he should
receive small commission for 50 doing.
This may make him an agent, but as he
does not buy it cannot make him dealer
The Court entered u decree for the Ear
mers."

Work as a Remedy.

DIR. Dio Lewis says: "a lady has just
left our rooms whose case illustrates an
important idea. Ten years ago she was an
invalid. Her malady was obstinate, and at
the end of years treatment a consultation
resulted in the opinion that her case was
cerebro-spinal irritation from which she
would probably never recover. Six years
ago her husband died His estate proved
insolvent. The wife engaged in active
occupation to support her three children.
In year she was well, and has remained
so ever since.
There are two million dyspeptics in Amer
lea. Nine i'll ten Of them could be cured
by work.
A wealthy clergyman from neighboring
State assured us that he had spent eight
years and thirty thousand dollars in seeking
a cure for his dyspepsia. He had travelled
everywhere and consulted all sorts of doc
tors We are afraid he will never forgive
us for telling him that six months hard
work would make well man Of him.

A Good Joke on g Doctor.

\ few days since Western city clerk
happening to meet Il physician Of the place,
the latter mentioned that he had a small
claim against the corporation for attendance
upon city patient. lie was told to make
out his bill, send it in, and it would be paid
at the next meeting of the board Of Alder
men. The clerk happened to complain du-
ring the interview of being little under
the weather; the physician took note OF
his symptoms, and said that upon reaching
his Office he would write him u prescrip-
ton that would set him to rights, and
which he would send by the boy who
would bring the bill. The afternoon of the
same day boy called at the clerk Office at
the city hall, and left two papers, mention
ing who sent them. ''All right, said the
clerk, glancing at the papers that were
thrown upon his desk. Now the chirogra-
ply Of most physicians is not very plain,
but that of this particular NJ. d. was cross
between the usual medical style and the
characters used by Chinese astronomers and
laundrymen.
When the clerk came to examine the two
papers he was much puzzled to make out
which was the prescription and which the
bill. Some zig-zag characters that appear
ed upon one Of the papers led him to think
it the prescription. He took it to the drug
store and handed it to the clerk, who turn
ed it in several directions and then said.
''This is from Dr., is it not ?" Being
answered in the affirmative he at once be-
came cheerful, and soon handed the clerk a
big powder to be taken at night, and a bot
tie OF some dark liquid to be taken in the
morning. For two days our clerk looked
rather pale about the gills, but felt on the
whole the medicine had done him consid-
cradle good
At the next meeting Of the board the
doctors bill was presented, but about all
that could be made out of it was that it
called for 81. 1t was referred as usual to
the proper committee, TO be examined and
reported upon at the next regular meeting,
when a favorable report was made and 81
was allowed. The next morning the doctor
came to the clerk in high dudgeon, and
said
Glow is it that you cut down my bill [
see by the papers that the board only allow
ed me ST."
The clerk said that the bill was allowed
just the same as made out, and to prove
that it was right handed it to the irate ply
sician. The doctor looked at it for some
moments, and then exclaimed
May | be hanged if you and the board
of aldermen haven't been at work for two
weeks on my prescription, and have at last
allowed me 81 on it.
Yes" cried the now aroused and excit-
ed clerk, "and may l be hanged if didn't t
take your Internal bill to the drug store,
and they allowed it there and gave me a
dose that near physced me to death"
The best joke was that the druggist 5
clerk when questioned about making up
the prescription, said "When get such
a looking paper from Dr., l always
put up big powder of calomel and rhu-
barb, to be followed by the black draught,
and this is the first time there has been any
fuss about it.
