Eov 70 Stop the Potato Bot.

The New London Comm Telegraph,
tells of plan pursued by Mr.. J. ii. Je-
rome of this city, to prevent or stop the
potato rot. "Very soon after the vines be-
gin TO die and turn black, the potatoes be-
gin 10 rot and the sap flows back into the
potato, carrying the poison with it. Now
pass over the hill and, with the vines be-
tween the feet, pull them entirely up and
throw them away. If any potatoes come
up with them, crowd them back into the
earth and leave them until time for digging
II any doubt the result ledthem leave every
few rows. row with the vines untouched.
Mr.. Jerome says the rows from which the
vines were pulled yielded double in GUAM
tity and quality that those untouched did
IL this process proves to be the one thing
needfnl to save the potato crop. it is inyal-
liable, and Mr.. Jerome is indeed fortunate
in having discovered it. and as large re-.
wards have been offered for such a remedy
certainly our Mr.. Jerome should be the one
to receive 1t. and we trust those who will,
profit by it. will not forget what is due
him."

Measuring the Baby.

We measured the riotous baby,
Against the cottage wall
4 lily grew at the threshold.
And the boy was just as tail.
\ ROYAL tiger-lily.
With spots of purple and gold
And heart like jewaled chalice.
The fragrant dew to hold.
Without the blackbirds whistle
High up in the old-roof-rees,
And 10 and fro at the window
The red rose rocked her bees.
And the weak pink fists OF the baby
Were never a moment still
Snatching at shine and shadow.
That danced on the lattice sill.
His eyes were wide as blue-bslls,
Hi, mouth like flower midtown
Two bare feet, like funny white mice,
Paeped out from his snowy gown;
And we thought with thrill of rapture,
That vet had a touch Of pain.
When June rolls around with her roses.
Well measure the boy again.
All me! In a darkened chamber.
With the sunshine shut away.
Through tear, that tell like bitter rain.
We measured our baby to-day;
And the little bare feet that were dimpled
And sweet As budding rose.
Lay side by side Together,
In the hush of 4 long repose.
Up from the dainty pillow.
White a. the risen dawn.
The far little face lay smiling.
With the light Of heaven thereon;
AMI the dear little hands. like Tose-.cayes
Dropped from rose. lay I'll ],
Never 10 snatch at the sunshine
TAst crept to the shroulrd sill
We measured the sleeping baby.
With ribbons white ~ snow.
For tn, shining ro> wood ca,ket
That waited HIM below;
And ont of the i .rsened chamber
Ne went with chii9less moan
To the height OF the slnlcss angels
our little one had grown.

tic medicine that can be employed cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood In small doses of one pill a day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints OF every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffied the best Of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inflamed.
They reach the vital fountains Of the blood.
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sngar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise

Recent Assyrfan Discoveries.
From Frazer's Magazine.

We may see numerous black stones IN
the British Museum. which record the sale
and purchase Of particular lands, and the
most terrible curses are invoked upon the
heads of those who should injure and de-
stroy these evidences Of the ownership
of property. One Of them, lately found
by Mr.. Smith, tells us that the ground
mentioned in it was bestowed by the king
upon sort Of poet.laureate, on account
Of some panegyr'cs he had written upon
the kingdom. Still more plentltuul than
these are private contract tablets, often
in an outer coating of clay, on which an
Distract Of the contents Of the inner tab
let is stamped. Many Of them are pierced
with holes, through which strings were
passed to leaves Of papyri. The latter
have long since persisted. The papyrus
was used by the Arcadians as writing
material at q remote date, although the
more durable clay tablets were preferred.
The mercantile class seems to have con-
sisted chiefly of Semites, rather than OF
Arcadians and if we wanted to find
the fullest development of busi-
ness and commerce we must
come down to the eighth and
seventh centuries B. c.. when Uneven
was busting centre of trade. Tyre had
been destroyed by the Assyrian kings,
J and trade had transferred itself further
to the East. Carchcmish, which was IA
vorably situated near the Euphrates, was
: the meeting place Of the merchants Of All
, nations. and the "manch Of Carchemish'
: became the standard Of weight. Houses
and other property, including slaves,
!, we're bought and sold and the careful
e ness with which the deeds Of sale or lease
! were drawn up, tie details into which
they went, and the number Of attending
S witnesses. were quite worthy ofa modern
/ lawyer. Money, too, was lent at int
t rest. usually at the rate Of four per cent.
: but sometimes, more especially wheI
u goods like iron were borrowed, at pc
i cent. Security for the loan was Otter
r. taken in houses or other property. Tn
i witnesses and contracting parties gener
|. ally fixed their seals; but where the,
lc we're too poor to possess any, . nail-mar
le was considered sufficient. All this appre
