LIGHT AND AIR VERSUS DRUGS

Mrs. Rogers lay in her bed,
Bandaged and blistered from foot to head.
Blistered and bandaged from head to toe.
Mrs. Rogers was very low.
Bottle and saucer, spoon and cup,
On the table stood bravely up;
Physics OF high and low degree
Calomel, catnp, boneset tea;
Everything body could bear,
Excepting light and water and air.
| opened the blinds; the day was bright.
And God gave Mrs. Rogers some light.
Iopened the window; the day was fair,
And God gave Mrs. Rogers some air.
Bottles and blisters, powders and pills,
Catnip, boneset, syrups and squills;
Drugs and medicines, high and low.
| threw them far as could throw.
''What are you doing?" my patient cried.
Frightening DEATH" cody replied.
NYou are crazy!' a visitor said;
flung a bottle at his head.
Deacon Rogers he came to me;
"Wife is a-getting her health" said he.
81 really think she will worry through;
She scolds me just AS she used to do.
All the people have pooled and slurreG;
All the neighbors have had their word;
,Twere better to perish, some of 'em say,
Than be cured in such an irregular way"

COINCIDENCE OF THERMOMETRiC AND
SUN-SPOT CURVES.

Mr.. Stone, the astronomer royal at tine
Cape Of Good Hope, in comparing the Their
mometric curves taken at the Cape since
184l with those in VOLTS observations on
the sun spots, finds an agreement between
the two series so close as TO inducs him to
think that the same causewhich leads to the
excess of mean annual temperature
leads equally to dissipation Of solar spots,
and also tina. there is an approximately
decennial period of such temperature. He
leans, however, to the opinion that the
Connection between the variation Of mean
temperature and the appearance Of the solar
spots is indirect rather than direct, and that
each results from some general change in
the solar energy.

folk in France, as, for example, the Soillle
and which are held by NJ. Gabriel de Nor
tillet to be Of later date than the rude,
forms which have been described from TIL
cave earth.
In this case then we have proof Of thi
truth Of his classification, which was I'M
tended merely to apply to the pal@olithis
implements Of france. Similar finely -chippeo
spear heads have been discovered in Kent's,
Hole and Workey Hole, and form part Of a
series which is associated with the incised
carving Of animals; such as the reindeer.
mammoth, and horse, which are so striking,
in the accumulation Of refuse left behind BY
the Eskimoux jewellers in caves in central
Europe. Belgium is the nearest point tc
Cresswel Crags in an easterly direction in
which they have been discovered up to this
time. We must, therefore, take these
more highly finished articles to imply the
presence of hunters in Derbyshire following
the same kind of life as the Eskimaux of the
continental caves, armed with the bow and
the spear, unacquainted with metal and the
use Of pottery, and unaided in the chase bv
the dog.
Thus we have regular sequence 0:
events recorded in ssRobin Hoods cave"
First, there was time when it was den
Of hyenas, and man was not. Secondly, it
was occupied by rude tribe Of hunters
from time to time, and when they left it the
hyenas returned to their old haunts. Thirds
~, another set of hunters, allied to the Es-
kimaux, then living on the Continent, fol-
lowed the hunt, until they, too, found q
shelter here. And, lastly, after an interval
in which most Of the animals mentioned
above became either extinct or retreated to
hotter or colder climates, it was visited dur
ing the Roman occupation of Britain. We
take this discovery to be the most imports
ant in its general bearings which has been
made in this country since the exploration
of Brixham cave, in 1858.

If there is one thing more than
another that puzzles the mind Of the
farmer, it is as to what he shall do to
make money. If any new source of
making money by farming were found,
il would not be long before everybody
would be going into it, and it would
soon be overdone. So every farmer
must fall back on first principles, see
what his farm is best adapted to,
taken in connection with the markets
within reach, the cost Of getting his
productions 10 market, and then con-
centrate his energies and abilities on
producing the best, so as to get il into
market and ol,tain the highest prices.
He wants large yields per acre, and
cannot have them without good land
and the best culture. He must
possess enterprise and energy, like any
other business man, and know whether
he can produce his crops or. his stock
at profit or loss. Where he sees a
chance for good profits, he must put
his best foot forward, and market his
produce at the best time and in the
most attractive manner. Bad farming
will pay no man. Intelligence and
skill are necessary to reap success.

Keep Your troubles scored

A worthy wife of forty years stand
ing, and whose life was not all made
up of sunshine and peace, gives the
following sensible and impressive adj
vice to a married pair of her acquain-
lance. The advice Is so good and so
well suited to all married people, as
well MS those who intend entering that
estate, that we here publish it for the
benefit of such persons:
Preserve sacredly the privacies Of
your own house, your married estate,
and your heart. Let no father or
mother, sister or brother, or any third
person, ever presume to come in be-
tween you two, or to share the joys
and sorrows that belong to you two
alone. With Gods help build your
own quiet world, not allowing your
dearest earthly friend to be the conf
dent Of aught that concerns your do
nestle peace. Let moments of aliena-
ton, if they occur, he healed at once.
Never, no, never, speak of it outside,
but to each other confess, and all will
come out right. Never let the NOR
rows sun still find you at variance.
Review AMI renew your vow; it will
do you good, ana thereby your souls
will grow together, cems2ted in that
love which is stronger than death, and
you will become truly one.

Elias Schweitzer, a farmer living
near Bcartown, Pa, agreed to enter
tain gcntlemanly looking tramp who
protested willingness to pay for his
lodging. After having partaken Of
supper, the tramp took a cigar and
handed one to his host. They smoked
and talked on dfferet topics until ten
o'clock, when Mrs. Shcweitzer told the
two boys to 60 to bed. At this point
the stranger said he would amuse the
boys before they retired. He performed
several tricks which very much
amused all. lie said he could take a
ball, which he held in his hand, and
place il in the barn without leaving
the room. This astonished them all.
He said that IL the family would per-
init him, he would go into a room up
stairs to arrange the ball, which would
not require more than twenty minutes,
and when he stamped On the floor
they we're to go into the barn, where
hey would find the ball behind
horse, where they kept the curry
'omb, wrapped in piece of silk. The
amily being anxious to see the per-
ormance, showed the stranger into
he best room and then waited for the
ignal to go out. In about twenty
minutes the stamping was heard and
he party left for the barn and exam
ned the curry comb box and on the
round, but could not find the ball,
nd in about ten minutes returned,
hen Mr.. schweitzer went up to the
pom and found 1t empty and s7s
lken from drawer.

children.
Owing to the sudden changes of our
climate, it is of the greatest impor-
lance for Americans to protect the en-
tire surface of the body and limbs nine
months out of the year. How we
dress the other three Is of less impor-
lance than how we work and eat but
unless the skin is well covered du-
ring the fall, winter and spring months,
we can not be free from the influence
of sudden changes. This can be done
by thick or light Undertaking in
silk, flannel or woven wear; but in
some form it is necessary. This i'm
portant precaution ought particularly
to be remembered in dressing little
children. Their clothing ought 10
meet in such a way as to leave no
bare skin, for sacqes and overshoes are
mockeries if the knees are uncovered.
As for short stockings they are SIM
ply traps for diseases. They may be
safe in July, but the chilly nights of
Autumn ought to warn all mothers to
put them away. After the skin is
covered, the clothing may be heavy or
light as the wearer needs; simply for
comfort a complete suit of warm I'M
derclothing. and long stockings do more
for women and children in the way of
protection from colds and coughs than
all the furs, Aannels and wraps they
can possibly put on New Century
for Women.

In one OF the stone steps in front OF
the telegraph Office, corner Of Main
and Front streets there is the impress
of fossil foot, as perfectly shaped as
the natural foot. The step is our com
mon hard limestone, about four feet in
length, and one foot in thickness, and
has been in its present position for
more than sixty years. The impress
of the fossil is sixteen inches in width.
1t presents the appearance to every
one as if the person must have worn a
mocasin similar 10 those worn by the
Indians of the present day. That it is
the imprint of human foot no one
can doubt, but the query arises, to
what race did the Indian belong, and
in what age did he live, who left his
unexampled trace behind him in this
hard limestone s-[Riply Bee.
