In nothing has the advance Of practical>
science been more clearly evidenced than
in the extent to which substances formerly
wasted and lost are now reclaimed ard
made to constitute an important element
in the profits of the manufacturer. One
Of these applications consists in the re-
covery of the soap-suds from the washings
of wool in woolen factories. These were
formerly allowed to run down the sewers
and into the streams, to the great pollution
of the latter; but in Bradford, in En-
gland, they are now run from the wash
| ing bowls into watts, and there treated with
sulphuric acid. The fats rise to the sur
face in mass Of grease foot or more in
thickness, which is carefully collected
and treated in various ways, mostly by
distilIation. The products are grease,
used for lubricating the cogs of driving
wheels in the mills; oleic acid, which is
worth about $3.50 per ton, and used as q
substitute for olive oil; stearin, worth
$40O per ton, etc. It is said that some
/ large. mill-owncrsI are now paid from $2,-
800 to 5000 year for these suds, which
a few years ago were allowed 70 run to
waste.-N. y. Tribune. = s'

Barnum as a Young Lover.

Danbury News.
That was a big book p. T. Barnum
wrote about himself. 1t is very COM
plete, too, but there is one little incl
dent which he either forgot to mention
or which got pied when the forms went
to press. 1t occurred when the great
Snowman was young man and a resi-.
dent of this section He was paying
impetuous attentions to a young lady
living in NeWtoWn. Being a son OF
poor but honest parents, he was Oblig-
ed to walk over TO the village which
contained his adored on the Sunday
nights he visited her. When there he
laEored under another and more awk-
ward disadvantage. The young lady's
violent dislike for the amiable embry-
otic Snowman. This necessitated eX-
treme caution on the part of the lover,
and he was equal TO the emergency, As
d matter of course. His iDgress to the
house was by window on the second
floor, which he reached by springing
from the cover of cistern curb and
catching hold of the window ledge.
His egress was effected by hanging iull
length from the ledge and then drop
ping to the cistern cover, a fall of bout
six inches. One Sunday he took with
him on the visit a young man who now
carries his silver hairs behind Dam
bury counter. They reached the place:
the young lady saw the signal, opened
the window, and the famous Barnum
sprung up into bliss. The young man
was to amuse himself about the village
until the hour of departure. He eamus-
ed himself. 1t don't seem possible that
any one could be so brutal, but that
young man actually removed the cover
to the cistern. Then he sat down by
the fence and ate currants and calmly
waited for the result. p. Il. finished
his sparkling, and backed out of the
window the full length of his hands
would permit.
"Go0d-by," he gasped in whisper,
as he prepared to drop.
"Good-by, Phinny," she whispered
back.
Then he let go, and instantly shot
from sight into a yawning abyss Of
darkness and rain water, and if he had
been of solid iron heated to white
glow he could not have created more
q commotien in striking the water. 1t
is not necessary to repeat what Mr..
Barnum said, both when crawling out
of the cistern and during the eight
miles walk home, but shortly after he
became a Universalist.

POETRY.
s.SOME DAY.

How much of sweet truth and trust
is expressed in these few pretty lines +:
..Some day." we say, and turn our eyes
Toward the far hills OF paradise
Some 6iay, some time, a sweet, new rest
Shall blossom, iower-like, in each breast.
Some time, some day, our eyes shall see
The faces kept in memory
Some day their hands shall clasp our hands
Just over in the Morning Lands.
Some day our ears shall hear the song
of triumph over sin and wrong.
Some day, some time, but oh not yet,
But we viii wait and not forget.
That some day all these things shall be,
And rest be given TO you and me-
So wait, my friend, though years move slow,
The happy time will come, We know.

Ns~ sHas.; serious sickness and
- E suffering is prevent
ed by their timely
use; and every family should have them on hand
for their protection and relief, when required.
Long experience has proved them to be the SAT-
est surest, and best of all the Pills with which
the market abounds. By their occasional use,
the blood is purified, the corruptions of the sys-
TEN expelled, distractions removed, and the
whole machinery of life restored to its healthy
activity. Internal organs which become clogged
and sluggish are cleansed by Ayer's Pills, and
stimulated into action. Thus inciplent disease
is changed into health, the value Of which change,
when reckoned on the vast mutitudes who enjoy
it, can hardly be computed Their sugar coating
makes them pleasant to take and preserves their
virtues unmpaired for any length of time, so
that they are ever fresh, and perfectly reliable.
Although searching they are mild, and operate
without disturbance to the constitution, or dlet, or
occupation.
Full directions are given on the wrapper to
each box, how to use them as Family Physic,
and for the following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure:-
For Dyspepsia or indigestion, ListIess-
ness, LanguOr and Loss OF Appetite. they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the stom-
ach, and restore its healthy tone and action.
For Liver Complaint and its various symp-
toms, Bilious Headache, Sick Head
ache, JaunsIice or Green sickness, Bill.
iOus Collie and Bilious Fevers, they should
be judciously taken for each case, to correct the
-. diseased action or remove the distractions which
cause it.
| For Dysentery or DiarrhOea, but one
| mild dose is generally required.
! For Rheumatisnl, Gout Gravel, ral.
| pitatiOn OF the Heart, Pain in the
Side, Back and LOius, they should be contln-
uously taken, as required, TO change the diseased
action of the system. With such change those
complaints disappear.
For DrOPsy and BrOpsical Swellings,
they should be taken in large and frequent doses
TO produce the effect of drastic purge.
For Suppression. large dose should be
taken, as it produces the desired effect by SYM
pathy.
AS Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills TO
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels, restores the appetite and invigorates the
system. Hence it is often advantageous where
serious arrangement exists. One VINO ieeis
tolerably well, often finds that dose OF these
Pills makes him feel decidedly better, from their
cleansing and renoyating effect on the digestive
apparatus.
