proaches centennial age, the more fashion
able and popular is it in this year of Cen
tennial-ism. A Massachusetts newspaper
gives list of golden weddings" which
were celebrated in New England in 1870
whether a complete list or not we can not

The number, counting those New England
couples whose celebration really occurred
elsewhere, was ZIG. or these, forty-hine

made of eight Massachusetts, couples who
celebrated wedding anniversary beyond
the fiftieth year. In one instance IL was the
sixty-sixth, in another the eoventieth, and
in several cases the sixlieth anniversary.
But the most estreme example of the du-

reported occurs out of New En9land-that

This is often serious question with the
invalid. lie fluids the market flooded with
proprietary medicines, scores Of which are
recommended as certain cures for his pc
cular ailment. lie reads the papers, cir
culars, almauacs, and finds ca ch sustained
by plausible arguments setting forth its
virtues and specific action. The recon-
mendations are as strong for one as for an
other. The cures claimed to have been
wrought by one are as wonderful as those
claimed to have been wrought by another.
In his perplexity and doubt, the sufferer Is
sometimes led to reject all. But it should
he borne in mind that this condition Of
things is one that cannot be remedied. In
land where all are free, the good-the tru-
ly valuablc-must come into competition
wi tn the vile and worthless, and must be
brought TO public notice by. the same in
strumentality, which is ddrcrtiSing In
such a case, perhaps the only absolute
proof that rem edy is what it claims to he
is to try ii. The "lest Of q pudding is the
eating of it," Prove all things, hold fast
that which is good" is the apostolic in
junction. There may, however, be strong
er presumptive evidence in favor Of one
remedy than there is in favor of another,
aud this should he allowed its due weight.
4 duo regard To this may save vast
amount of experimenting and useless
outlay of money. AS presumptive evil
dence in favor of DIR. Pierce's Family Med
icines, the Proprietor desires to say, that
they are prepared by a new and scientific
process by which the virtues of the crude
plants and roots are extracted without the
use of particle of alcohol. Not particle
of this destroyer of our race enters into
the composition of either his Golden Med
zeal Discovery or Fdvorte Prescription.
This consideration alone ought certainly to
rank them high above the villainous COM
pounds saturated with alcohol, Jamaica
rum, sour beer, or vinegar, which are ev-
erywhere offered for sale. Again. they are
of uniform strength, and their virtues can
never be impaired by age. They are also
made from fresh herbs and roots, gathered
in their appropriate season, when they are
flush with medicinal properties. In sup
port Of these claims, the following testi-
mony is offered:

NEW DISCOVERY IN AGRICULTURE
The curious discovery is announced by
Prof p. b. Wilson, OF Washington Uni
versity, Baltimore, that infinitely pulver-
lied silica is taken up in free state by
plants from the soil, and that such silica is
assimilated without chemical or other
change. The experiment consisted in fer
tilizing field of wheat with the infusorial
earth found near Richmond, Va. This
earth, it is well known, consists of the
shells OF microscopic marine insects,
known as diatoms, which under strong
magnifying powers reveal many beautiful
forms that have been resolved, classified,
and named. Amer the wheat was grown
Professor Wilson treated the straw with
nitric acid, subjected the remains to micro
seOpic test, and found therein the same
kinds of shells or diatoms that are present
in the Richmond earth, except that the
larger sized shells were absent: showing
that only silica particles below certain de-
gree Of fineness can ascend the sap pores of
the plant. This discovery opens up new
line Of research in agricultural investiga-
ton from which important results and
much additional knowledge may accrue.

THE ELEGANT CENTENNIAL SHOWCASE
OF MEssRs. d. LAWRENCE & SoNs-A
BEAUTIFUL SPECIMEN OF AMERICAN
WORKMANSHIP.
One of the most unique exhibits which
America has yet produced for the Centen-
NAL Exhibition is the elegant showcase
for the display Of samples OF Medford Rum
from the old house OF Daniel Lawrence u
Sons, Boston. 1t Is a beautifully carved
affair, about seven and half feet in height,
and perhaps two aud half feet in width,
the very best OF French walnut being used
in its construction. Messrs. Lawrence ~
Sons gave to the manufacturers carte
blanche ORDER and Messrs. Il. Hixon q Co.,
of Boston, well established as their reputa-
ton has been for many years, have finish
ed nothing more ingenious or more credi-
table. Samples of The Medford Rum, for
so many years specially with Lawrence
& Sons, are presented in the form of pyr-
amidal castor, made OF beautiful glass
TASKS of original design, the manufacture
of the Mount Washington Glass Company,
of this city. At the top is a wellaccrediled
sample of old Mediord, made as long ago
as l776, which was purchased with the dis
tillery from a former proprietor; then
there is a sample of the same standard ar
ticle, made during the war of 1872; anoth-
err, bearing the date of 1924, indicates the
period at which, the distillery becoming
their property, the present firm OF ID. Law
renee & Sons began its existence. Samples
of their manufacture in 1882, 1850, 1858, and
in successive years down 10 the present
time, are included in the exhibit, which
will certainly attract much attention at the
Philadelphia exhibition, aside from the ell
egant and unique case in which ii will be
shown. The exhibit rests upon beauti-
fully carved pedestal, the supporting pill
lars being made in the form OF griifns, adj
mirably executed. over the pyramid of
samples is raised an elegant canopy OF We
neered French walnut, also beautifully
carved with representations of birds,
leaves, etc. BY rolling screen of polish
ed wood the display can be at once covered
from view. There is some fine silver work
in the case from the establishment OF Jesse
Harding. The whole design rests upon
base of ebonzed wood, protected by sill
yer railing. AS specimen Of American
manufacture, it is certainly worthy. OF
heartiest praise. It's cost was upward OF
81, 900; but Messrs. Lawrence & Sons feel
no occasion to regret this outlay for the
proper presentation of their speciality at
Philadelphia. Their Medford Rum is uni
versally recognized as the standard brand,
and is fast supplanting all inferior manu-
features. Lawrence's Medford Old Rum,
long celebrated for its chemical purity, SUI
perior quality, and mellow maturity, is the
choicest in the world.-BoSton Daily Globe.

Dear Sir;-For seven or eight years past
have been in poor health, and for the past
year or more very feeble. My health con-
tinued to decline, and my flesh and
strength wasted away, until was unable
10 work or even so up stairs without great
exhaustion. Uttered from frequent and
distressing attacks of palpilatioH Of The
heart, my food distressed me, causing as
cidity and pain in the stomach and suf
tered from extreme nervousness, constipa-
ton and debility of the system generally,
my blood being thin and poor and slug
gish in circulation, and was for years suf-
iering all the fortunes of q confirmed dys-
peptic. About six months since l conclu-
ded l would try bottle of PERUVIAN SYR-
UP, and received so much benefit from it
that / purchased five bottles more, and
have continued the use of the SYRUP until
quite recently. 1t has restored my health
10 such an extent that feel myself as good
as new. My digestion is good and my
weight has increased in the past four
months from one hundred and twenty TO
one hundred and thrty-eight pounds; my
strength has returned, aud my general
health is thus wonderfully improved, and
l can truly say that owe it all to the use
of your PERUVIAN SYRUP. l earnestly
recommend all sufferers from dyspepsia
and debility 20 give il trial, hoping il will
do them as much good as il has me.
Yours very truly, MRS. S. B. BEMIs.

RULES FOR POULTRY RAIsERs.-If the
following rules are carefully followed, they
will lead to the best results: Sprinkle lsul-
phur or coarse snuff into the nests, to keep
off vermin. Remove your hen daily, let
the he ms roll in the dust box near by; feed
and water regularly. Apply a little dry
sulphur upon the down under each wing
of the chicks as soon as they emerge from
the nest. Scatter powdered sulphur through
the hens under-feathers, also, during the
period of setting; she must be kept free
from lice. Always set your hens Ia the eve
ming, rather than by daylight; they will
be more sure TO stick TO the nest ailerward,
and for tw or three days at first be care
full that they are kept undsturbed. On
the twenty-tirst day, when the chickens
arc coming out, leave her to herself until
all are released; then wait twenty, four
honrs yet for the little ones to get upon
their feet. Commence feeding with soak ed
bread crumbs, rice and hard boiled eggs.
Follow this up for week, then cooked
soft food aud broken wheat, then crack ed
corn, chopped meat or scraps, aud always
use plenty of green food until the grass
starts. Wash your roosts occasionally with
spirits of turpentine or kerosene, this pre-
vents the accumulation of lice In the poul-
try houses, and the fumes of this pungent
oil permeate the feathers of your fowls at
night, and drive the vermin from their
bOdies.-GOLdeR Rule.

FORMATION OF CoAL.-With these con-
ditions, that is, with greater sun-power
and considerable eccentricity of the
earths orbit, 1 can conceive rational ex-
planaton, that which have not yet seen
in the books, of the formation of the coal
layers, alternated as they always are with
marine deposits. These alterations are
sometimes very numerous. There are as
many as sixty distinct veins Of considera-
BILE thick ness, one over another, in the coal
mines of South Wales, as also of Nova SEQ
tia. There must have been, in that case,
sixty periods of dry land, each Of sufficient
duration to grow many forests, and each
followed by long submergence,
in order that each layer should become ios-
SLICED, and buried beneath a shale or n
limestone, which could only have formed
in the depths of quiet sea. The books
say there were so many upheavals, and a
like number of subsidences, alternating
with each other. As if Old Earth had bent
her ba ok, for her load of pit-coal, three
score times among the Welsh hills, and
again as many more at Halifax. 1t is far
IN ore reasonable explanation, that each
considerable layer OF coal indicates a cycle
of long summers, and the Withdrawal of a
mod crate depth of the oceans from one
hemisphere 10 the other, by reason OF mod
crate Accommodations of ice in polar latl-
tudes, and the return, again, of the waters
amer 1880 years. In this way, and in no
other that can conceive of, can lie fairly
explained the constant mixture and alter
nations of terrestrial and MAXINE relics, all
through the fossil-bearing formations, and
the hundreds, if not thousands OF different
and distinct strata which are found lying
one above another.-Poputar Science
