Cleanliness.

4 Distinguishing characteristic of that
indispensable household remedy, KEEL
ler's Roman Liniment, is its cleanliness.
Use it as freely as desired, and wherev-
er you will, it discolors neither flesh
nor garment. Its ecnPonents are gums
dissolved in substances most rapidly alb
sorbed by the skin, which it leaves as
bright and as smooth as before its ap.
pl,cat,on. Rheumatism, Neuralgia, etc,
are always cured by It more quickly
than by any other remedy.
Tie those engaged in sedentary pur-
suits: You are aware Of course that
activity Is promotive Of functional effort,
particularly Of the stomach and bowels;
inactivity induces Dyspepsia and all of
ITS wretehed consequences, In the alb
serce Of plenty Of exercise We can
cheerfully recommend that invaluable
tonic and Alternative, Kelier's Vegetable
Life Drops. the best remedy known for
Dyspepsia and those diseases incident
to a sedentary course Of life.

Early Rising.

Bob Ingersoll, the sinner, occasion
ally takes a shot at old adages as we'll
as modern theology. In speech,
lately delivered before the Illinois
farmers, he thus attacks the we'll
established adage, early to bed and
early to rise:"
"1t is rot necessary in this age Of
the world for the farmer to rise in the
middle of the night and begin his
work. This getting up SO early in the
morning is a relic of barbarism. It
has made hundreds and thousands Of
young men curse the business. There
is no need of getting up at three or
four o'clock in the winter morning.
The farmer who persists in doing it
and persists in dragging his wife and
children from their beds ought to be
visited by a missionary. 1t is time
enough to rise after the sun has set the
example. For what purpose do you
get up? To feed the cattle? Why
not feed them more the night before?
1t is waste of life. In the old times
they used to get up about three o'clock
in the morning, and 60 to work long
before the sun had risen with healing
upon his WINGS" and as a just punish
ment they all had the ague, and they
ought to have it now"

Edith, do you know what you say ?
Oh, Edith! wife! are you mad that
you dare speak such awful words !?
You love him."
He staggered to chair, pale as

all.
For moment Edith kept her
ground; then her lips began to quiv-
er, and her eyes filled with tears; then
she went up to him and knelt beside
him.
"Harry, Harry darling, I do love
him, but not as l do you! He is my
brother Phil, Harry-the one you never
saw. He came here several weeks ago,

And the lesson had its effect, for

worst. And he realizes that it might
all have been as he feared.

Artificial Climate.

The growth of potatoes, recent ex-
pertinent shows, is considerably effec-
ted by the color of the soil in which
they are planted. The GALAXY relates
that in studying the puzzling question
why some potato fields escape blight
while surrounded by others suffering
severely from it, it was noticed that
these fortunate plots were darker than
the infected areas. Thinking that the
greater absorption Of heat by the
darker ground and the consequent
higher temperature might explain the
difference, MIR. J. P. Hannay selected
piece Of ground poorly adapted for
growing potatoes, as it was a blue clay.
It was planted in the ordinary way,
using stable manure. One-balf was
left as planted, but the other was COW
cred with SCOT which had been careful
ly washed until the soluble matter had
been entirely removed, so that it could
no longer afford any nourishment to
the plants. Yet the tubers in this part
of the ground sprouted first, and were
always healthier than those in the un-
dressed part of the field. Tempera-
lures were taken by thermometer in-
serted in the soil, which showed that
at depth of two inches the soot-cov:
cred earth was, OH the average, l.77
degrees hotter than the natural ground
and at the depth of eight inches the
difference was 1.O9 degrees. Thus the
dark earth afforded its tubers warmer
climate than light-colored soil. The
most remarkable difference was found
in the composition of the resulting
crops. The soot-covered potatoes con;
tanned 22.5 per cent. Of starch, I'd

New Hampshire.

New Hampshire is the first State to re-
spond to the decision of the Electoral
Commission and the avowed policy of
President Hayes, and that response is
gratifying to every Republican. The
nearnesS of the Democratic party to seiz-
ing the Presidential plum makes the cha
grin OF failure all the harder to bear, and
may well plead some excuse for the VIC
lence it has manifested But the sober
sense of the people repudiates its corrupt
practices and vindctiye purposes, ana
turns again to the Republican party as the
true source of peace and prosperity. Gov.
Prescott's majority will reach $500; two
Republican Congressman are elected Ger
tain, ana possibly all of them; and gains
are reported all along the line. This
sweeping victory is more than the most
sanguine hoped for. and is Stern rebuke
to the revOlutionists who sought to set
aside the Constitutionally elected Presi-
dent. The importance of the response
which should come from New Hampshire
was not underrated by either side, and the
New York tactics of the Democracy were
put into full requisition Money was
freely used by them, and such speakers as
Randall were sent to canvass. But all was
vain. New Hampshire is Republican,
Hayes is President and peace reigns -
