What Shall We DoT

IT is no wonder that we hear this question
on every corner. So many are dying sud-
denly of diseases of the brain in these days
that everyone is alarmed, and is asking:
"What shall we dor" There is alarm on &C
count Of dizziness Of the head, whirling
sensation when rising up suddenly, a bad,
"all-gone" sensation at the pit of the stom-
ach, like the gnawing of an ulcer, with a
feeling like load after eating, pains in the
back, sides and chest, at times, with costive
bowels, scanty, high-colorcd urine, some
times voidcd with pain, appetite poor, and
when food is eaten it oftcntimcs distrcsscs;
the skin, after a time, becomes dark, cold
and clammy, eyes sunkcn and tinged with
yellow, spirits detected, with evil forebod-
ings. When any of these symptoms are
present no time should he lost in using a
proper remedy. The one that we have
known to operate with the most certainty j.

AT one of the evening meetings OF the
New York State Fair James Miller read a
paper on How to Make the Farm Pay
from which we reproduce his views on
surface manuring: If this kind of ma
nuring is done intelligently, he says, it is
highly beneficial. But the soil must be
in condition to be benefited. Manure
should not be applied on old meadows
and pastures which have been trampled
until they are nearly as compact as the
beaten track, and which have little grass
to be benefited. If applied upon grass
lands they should be newly seeded. Dur
ing last fall and winter | drew manure
from cow-stables and top-dressed about
half a clover field which had been mown
once and pastured the latter part of the
season. Upon the portion top-dressed
the roots of the clover were preserved,
and on the other portion they were near
ly all killed by the severe winter. |
pastured it the present season, and
think the half top-dressed afforded four
times as much as the other half. 1t not
only protects the roots of clover and
other grasses, but the soil also. 1t pre-
vents rapid evaporation and gives II a
darker color SO that ii absorbs more solar
heat. | have observed the difference
where it had been applied TO portion OF
the soil fitted for winter wheat, and crop
raised. Upon blowing for another crop
after harvest, as deep as plowed, from
SIX to eight inches, it was thoroughly

ScHENcK's PULnoNIc SYRUP, SEA WEED Tonic
AND MANDRAKE PnLs.-These deservedly cele
brated and popular medicines have effected rev.
olution in the healing art and proved the fallacy
of several maxims which have for many years OBJ.
struCted the progress Of medical science. The
false superstition that - Consumption is ncurable''
deferred physicians from attempting to find RENEE
dies for that disease and patients afflicted with it
reconciled themselves to death without making an
effort to escape from doom which they supposed
TO be unavoidable. 1t is now proved. however.
that Consumption can be cured and that it has
been cured in very great number OF cases (some
of them apparently desperate ones) by Schenck S
PulmOnic Syrup alone; and in other cases by the
same medicine in connection with Schenck's Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both, ac-
cording to the requirements of the case.
Dr. Schenck himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted
good health for more than forty years, was sup
posed, at one time to be at the very gate of DEATH
his physicians having pronounced his case hope
less, and abandoned him to his fate. He was
cured by the aforesaid medicines, and, since his
recovery many thousands similarly affected have
used DR.: Schenck's preparations with the same re-
markable success.
Full directions accompany each, making it not
absolutely necessary to personally see Dr. Schenck
unless patients wish their lungs examined. and
for this purpose he is professionally at his Irnc-
pal office, corner Sixth and Arch streets, Phladel
phia, every Monday, where all letters for advice
must be addressed. Schencks medicines are
sold by all druggists

Winter Flowing.

PLowtNG land in winter for spring crops
is attended with advantages of which the
thoughtful farmer will not fail to avail
himself. Water In plowed ground, on
becoming frozen, exerts a powerful force
in disintegrating and mellowing the most
tenacious clay soils, and is almost inval-
liable to the farmer who knows how to use
it to the most advantage. 1t hastens
chemical action In many ways On con-
gealing, the water in mineral and organic
substances is expanded and combinations
inimical to decay are often broken up
and destroyed-as in the case of an apple
or potato after being frozen. Ice that will
burst an iron pot will meet with very lit
tie difficulty in disintegrating and COM
minuting the most obdurate soil and
thereby assist in its improvement. Plow-
ing increases the capacity of soils to hold
water, which, becoming frozen, expands
and commutes it into infinitesimal frag-
ments and is therefore its most efficient
pulverizer. And thus results are obtained
from the blowing and freezing which
neither alone could secure.
In the preparation of land, therefore,
fer next seasons tillage the advantages
of winter blowing are most decided OF
course lands which are so steep as to wash
badly should not, under most circum-
stances, be plowed in the fall or winter;
but when there is a necessity for doing so
the hillside pillow should be used and the
burrows so directed that the washing rains
or melting SHOWS can do them as little
damage as possible. Another great adj
vantage of fall or winter blowing is that
two or three inches more depth of soil
can be thrown up than in spring blowing,
the trosts OF winter so mellOwing the raw,
cold subsoil as to render its incorporation
with the surface soil an easy matter.
1t follows, then, from these facts, that
whenever the ground is not too wet-par-
ticularly where there is q large spring
crop in view--it is best to command the
services of Jack Frost in committing
and preparing the soil ready for an early
start in the spring. This great meChani-
cal assistant costs nothing and is always
on hand, if the land has been plowed in
time. 1t is these natural forces that the
farmer should study to utilize to the best
advantage, whether they be solar light,
heat, descending rains of spring, summer
and autumn in bringing down the en-
riching stores of plant food from the at
mosphere, or the hard freezing weather of
winter. The deeper the earth is stirred
and the more its particles are comminuted
the more rain it will absorb and hold, and
consequently the more of those enriching
stores of plant food contained in the at
mosphere are brought down and secured.
The joint action OF the blowing and freez-
ing of the soil is therefore of more value
than is generally understood or appre-
ciated.- Baltimore Sun.

An English Prison az. an Abode OF
Luxury.

~
Through the massive portal of the
outer gate we have come, and, entering
into the jail through that handsome door
in the iron railing that closes the inside
entrance, we find ourselves in building
in which three or more wings converge to
the center hall. Each wing is divided
into three stories. Along each story runs
light iron gallery which you can gain
by mounting that ornamental circular
stairrunning from topic bottom. Above,
large glass skylights give ample light and
ventilation Everything is light, airy and
cheerful The brasses shine as only IN
iails and men-of-war. Here is man
making "a pair of boots, and seemingly
rather comfortable and happy. He has
been twenty times committed for drunk
enness. He is only a drunkard, so we
may feel a certain amount OF satisfaction
that he is not very miserable. What a
difference for him is his time spent In Jail
from the intervals of freedom. Here he
works between six and seven hours day,
and out of his earnings he receives an al
lowance larger than ever was left him by
the public house when at home. Around
him everything is exquisitely clean. His
cell is boarded, and measures twelve feet
by seven It's ten feet high, and lit and
ventilated in the most perfect manner.
On his shelf are his dish for porridge, and
tins bright as silver for soup and milk.
A clean hammock, in which you might
sleep comfortably, is neatly folded
and hung against the wall. In a
corner is a basin with water laid on,
in which he can wash himself if he.
chooses. In winter the apartment is
kept at a comfortable temperature by hot
air pipes and a gas-burner diffuseS a
cheerful light in the long winter evenings.
Should he feel i'll, he pulls a bell-handie,
on which gong sounds in the. center
hall and from his door the number of his
cell starts out; and no millionaire at Clar-
idgcs is half so punctually answered as
he is by the turnkey on guard, who in
quires into his wants, and if necessary a
doctor is at his bedside long ere the Union
doctor could be found and persuaded to
visit him were he al home. AS he seems
a quiet fellow we do not feel much regret
that he has had the good fortune to be-
come n,habitual drunkard; but what
shall we say to the occupant of the adj
joinlng-well cell? Here burly ruffian
is engaged in making mats Thework is
pleasant; the cell facsimile of the one
described; and if we listen to the details
of the crime for which he is undergoing
two months punishment" we cannot
help contrasting his pleasant lot with the
squalor and misery of his lazy, idle, pol
luted life outside, and feeling that in so
Furnishing a rutfian for a brutal assault
upon woman humanitarianlsm @has be-
come a crime, and set up in our jails a

require large amount of abstract moral
ity to struggle.-BeIgrduaa. }yf

Mysterious Kidnapping and Return Of
a Boy.

Some time ago the people of Mariana,
Fla, were excited over something like a
Charlie Ross case in their midst A little
boy named Charlie Burgess was kid

quently of either him or those who had
carried him off, though every search was
made. An account of the affair has trav-
eled through the newspapers of the coun-
try and the sorrow of the bereaved family
has been shared by many. Now comes
the sequel to the story which is pleasant
On one Sunday night lately the family
from which the boy was stolen were gath
cred in the house with doors and windows
closed against bitterly cold wind which
was shrieking outside and were wonder
ing, it may be, of the whereabouts on
such night of the missing boy. All at
once some one heard cry, which was re-
peated; it came from the front of the
house. A search was made to learn the
cause of the strange sound, and the
mother peering out into the darkness saw
something upon the front steps. In an
other moment she had her lost boy in her
arms. AT the same time a man who had
been concealed in the shrubbery of the
garden darted away and could not be

How John Bull (ircumvented Johnny
iif Crapeaud.

Apropos of. England's purchase of the
Suez Canal, Kate Field tells story which,
as an example of smartness," could not
be excelled by the sharpest of Yankees ::
Do you know where Alden is? Get out
your map of Africa, and you'll see that
Alden is at the head of the Straits of Ba-
belmandel. Well, it has long been an
English fortress, but it does not command
the Red Sea. France found this out
some years ago, at the same time that she
discovered the Island of Perrin to be the
proper place to hold. She sent fleet to
quietly take possession, this being the
way that a foothold in Africa is made by
European powers. Instead of going di-
rect to Perrin, the French fleet stopped at
Aden where the officers were invited to q
banquet by the English authorities.
Johnny Crapeaud went, was sumptuously
entertained--in fact, so overwhelmed with
hospitality that it flew to his head, and,
in a moment of effusion, he confded his
secret mission to the attentive ear of sober
John Bull. /" The fact is,'' whispered
johnny Crapeaud, we're going to do an
immensely clever thing tomorrow morn
ing. We're going to plant the French
flag on Perim.'' John Bull had not given
his banquet in vain Without leaving his
seat at table he wrote and dispatched or
ders for the immediate departure of a yes.
sci for Perrin. with instructions to take
possession of the island in the name of
Great Britain. When Johnny Crapeaud
walked up the next morning he set sail
for his coveted prize, and, ON arriving,
found the Union Jack flying! This is
how the English took Perim-in itself
a rock, but a rock like Gibraltar. Who
holds it rules the Red Sea- You hear a
great deal about Alden and nothing about
Perrin, because it is British policy to be
very quiet about this very important strong
hold. Can't you see Johnny Crapeaud
tearing his hair at his own folly and his
neighbours quick wittedness

A Remarkable Meeting.

Seventeen years ago William Lester, q
poor carpenter, died at Boston. Three of
his children were taken West by friend,
and the fourth, little girl, was placed in.
a Boston asylum. Las. September the
only survivor of the Western members of
the family came East in search of mis-
sister, having himself become very
wealthy. He found that the girl had been
adopted by John Wheeler, dry goods
merchant, but lie had been dead a dozen
years, and there was no trace, Of the girls
whereabouts since. Being discouraged,
he started West again, but on the tram a
little way out of Boston he noticed among
a bevy of girls who entered the cars one
who remarkably resembled his mother,
He left the train when they did, and soon
found that it was indeed his sister, who
was living with her poor adopted mother.
She had never been told that she was an
adopted child, and it was long before she
realized her situation. The young lady
could not be prevailed upon to accompany
her brother West, but as she looks upon
the luxuries with which she and her
adopted mother have been surrounded by
her brother she enjoys the pleasure of
real romance.-Boston TrdUetter.
