STATISTICS show that of the thousands
who die annually, large proportion are
destroyed, not by old age, or by the nat
ural exhaustion of vitality, but through
intemperance. or disregard either on
the part of the sufferer, or his parents,
of the simplest laws of nature. Such
being the case-and figures cannot mis-
represent facts-the conclusion is that
were the causes of intemperance, its kim
dred vices, and disregard of natural
laws, removed, the average length of
the human life time would be extended
proportionately. What agent most rap
idly, harmlessly,. aid certainly will
eradicate these wees, or the tendency to
them, il. the question which has been as
thoroughly and persistent1y agitated IS

by DR.. Joseph Walker, whose widely

ing wonders which the old fogy doctors
never dreamed of. Try them and judge
for yourself, as thousands are doing all

BURNING IHoN.-A Berlin. expert
menter has demonstrated the combusti.
bility of iron in a peculiar manner,
He takes straight bar magnet of some
power, and sprinkles iron filings on one
of its poles. These filings arrange
themselves in accordance with the lines
of magnetic force; and however closely
they may appear to be placed, of course
no two of the metallic filaments are
parallel, and consequently, certain
amount of air inclosed as in a metallic
sponge. The flame of any ordinary
spirit lamp or gas burner readily
ignites the finely divided iron, and 1t
continues to burn brilliantly for some
time, the combustion being, apparently,
as natural and easy as that of any ordi-
nary substance. If the experimenter
with this operation stands on a slight
elevation and waves the magnet to and
fro while burning, magnificent rain of
fire is said to be produced.

How A Man FOOLED Hrs WIFE.-He
was an awful fneEn man. He carried q
$50 counterfeit bill to make a show of
it sometimes when lingering for single
drink or a Wheeling stogy. His poor
Woodworking wife had been begging
him for nice gold chain she had seen
in a shop window down town. One day
he felt in a merry mood, gave her the
counterfeit bill and told her to buy the
chain. Then he left home laughing so
hard that he had to go and take drink
to wet it down. He may have taken
several drinks.
He went home feeling full of Jokes.
It appeared to be ths happiest day OF
his life. He made a fool of the old
woman. But the old woman wore that
gold chain at the dinner table, and
called the brute cher dear old darl-
ing" This put another face on the
whole affair. It hsd ceased to be a
joke to him. The jeweller called before
dinner, and handing him the base note
told him to "shell out" fifty dollars if
he wished to escape annoyance. He
shelled out, and has never been able to
see the point of his own joke. But the
Door woman enjoyed It.

SHEEP AND CATTLE IN AUSTRALIA.
A correspondent, writing to The Ecole
Agricole, from Melbourne, says that fat
sheep and cattle were very plentiful in
the australian markets a month or two
ago. Official statistics, he says, show
that the number OF sheep in Australia
and Tasmania increased from 80, $3.50, O98
at the end of 1867 20 As, 796, 270 at the
epd of 1873, while cattle Increased from
1874, 1873 TO 5, 1913, 1853 during the same
period. Taking into consideration the
cows and ewes with young, it was calcu-
lated that these figures would soon
afterward be increased to Sc, 900, 900 for
the sheep, and to 5, $50, 600 for the cat
tie. That is to say, an increase during
the seven years of II DOC, 900 sheep and
200, 900 head of cattle without count
ing home consumption, and the quantity
of meat exported in tins. In New
Zealand, during the same period, the
increase in the number of sheep and
cattle was equally remarkable, the |
former multiplying from 8,418,5 TO
II, 694 1863, and the latter from 312, $50 |
to 494, lib.
THE ANGoRA GOAT BUSINESS LOOKING UP. |
The introduction of any new industry |

in regard to ramie, jute, silk and mo-
