ensued. The pony express gave way to
the telegraph and the railroad.
The numbering stage-coaches were q
vast improvement on the ox-teams. Yet
it took them an average Of twenty. eight
days TO come through with their passen-
gers. The opening Of the railroads short
ened the time consumed in the transit of
mails from fourteen 10 seven days. The
lightning express of Jarrett & Palmer has
demonstrated the feasibility of cutting the
ordinary mail train time down one-half.
1t is not probable that such a revolution
will be speedily introduced; but TO assert
that the feat which has just been accom-
plished will not be outdone would be to
presume that the acme of perfection in
railroading had been attained. San Fran.

Don't Prune Grape yInes Too Much.

We are fully satisfied, after having
taken critical observation for more than
thirty years, that a great many vines are
seriously damaged by excessive pruning
We have no pet theory to defend in grape
culture nor have we any desire TO shield
the reputation of any professional grapist
If a vine must be pfuned we must have
cogent reason for cutting off any portion
of it; but we do not believe in the random
slashing often recommended. A grapist of
extensive experience assures us that it is
his belief that the damage done to vines
by the phylloXera is not so great as is
generally supposed, and that the chief
cause of the death of grape vines is the
severe pruning to which they are sub
iected annually, and to the prOflse use of
sulphur, which is used to destroy the mil
dew. AS regards the pruning, he thinks
that instead of setting the vines only eight
feet apart, and keeping them pruned
down almost to mere stump, it would be
better to set them sixteen feet apart and
let them run up to a height of several feet
$50 high, in fact, that a man or a horse
might walk under the branches), and to
make the "head" of the vine at this
height, the same as it is now made nearer
the ground. Cutting off the large branch

makes it less healthy and vigorous and
more liable to fall a prey to insects and
decay. This theory is plausible and seems
to be founded in reason. If the vines
were allowed 10 grow larger they would
naturally be healthier, more productive
and longer lived than at present. If only
halfas many vines were planted to the
acre it would be easier to care for them
and to gather the fruit. If the vines were
set out and pruned according to this plan

1t is said to be sure death to gooseberries

DIR. ScHENCK's PULMoNIo SYRUP, SEA
WEED Tonic AND MANDRAKE PIILs.-These med
icines have undoubtedly performed more cures Of
Consumption than any other remedy known to the
American public They are compounded Of vege
table ingredients and contain nothing which can
be injurious to the human constitution. Other
remedies advertised as cures for Consumption
probably contain opium, which is somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and, II taken freely
by consumptive patients, 1t must do great injury;
for its tendency is to confne the morbid matter in
the system, which, of course, must make a cure
impossible. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is war
ranted not to contain particle Of opium. 1t is
composed Of powerful but harmless herbs, which
act on the lungs, liver, stomach and blood and
thus correct all morbid secretions and expel all
the diseased matter from the body. These are the
only means by which Consumption can be cured.
and, as Schenck's Pu1monic Syrup, Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the only medicines
which operate In this way, it is obvious they are
the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consump-
ton. Each bottle Of this invaluable medicine is

The third term bugaboo does not appear to
retain vitality enough to entitle it to serious

traordinary pranks during the session, and the

How IT HURTS ART TO ADMIRE NATURE
A yet more serious result of the frantic admira-
ton of inanimate nature is the loss of the finer
sense of the beauties of human form. Painters
have not only lost the power of drawing the
face and figure with profound truth. but thew
do not now perceive or understand the highest
kind of beauties fit for artistic expression
They have been SO absorbed by the endeayor tn
paint rainbows and mists and storms. and to
give their full value to the multitudinous sbapes
of inanimate nature, that the power of perceiy-
ing or presenting the highest human beauty
has almost persisted or has sunk so low that we
can scarcely erect portrait-statue which Is not
ludicrous even in the sight of our own enfee bled
taste. For a part of this result Mr.. Ruskin
must be considered responsible. His teaching
has been practically SO powerful that English
art at the present time reflects the limitations
OF MS individual taste, and as he has never
SNOWY any special aptitude for the understand
ing OF lhe artistic beauty of human form, but
mas Always 6een enthusiastically and almost
geologlcally devoted to outward nature, treat
ing things OF human interest when thew have
occurred in art rather from cons;der3tion of
their moral worth than of their artistic hasntv
