In his lectureI OH "Does Death End

Cool; used this illustration OF the immor.
tality Of the soul:
"As, therefore, from the structure Of
the eye we may infer the existence Of n
wholly external agent, light, or from
that Of the ear, the existence Of wholly
external agent, sound, SO from the abso.

"That agent is invisible to the external
vision and intangible to the external

at il positively known to conscious.
ness, or the internal vision and touch.
"That agent is the soul.
"As the dissolution Of the eye does not
destroy the light, the external agent
which acts upon it, and "a the dissolution
OF the ear does not destroy the pulsations
OF air, so the dissolution OF the brain
does not destroy The soul, the external
agent which sets it in motion"

The hands are washed many times a
day. Why not wash the feet at least
once? The majority OF the people pay
little attention 10 the cleanliness Of the
feet, yet square inch OF the sole OF the
foot demands perfect cleanliness more
than any square foot Of the surface OF the
body, as far rs health is concerned, be-
cause the pores are much larger there
than anywhere else, so large indeed that
they may be called "sluices" for carrying
away the impurities Of the system.
Hence the bottom of the fee. should be
well rubbed every day, the skin will be-
come much more healthy and less tender,
especially between the toes. Many per.
sons cherish the idea that frequent wash.
ing OF the feet will render them more
tender and susceptible to the influences
OF cold and heat. But such is not the
case. After the feet are washed wipe
them dry, then hold them near the fire
or in the oven until they glow with
warmth.

Port Townsend Hospital.


The above institution having been placed
on a permanent footing, aS the United
States Hospital for Marine Patients on
Puget Sound, the proprietor takes pleasure
in announcing that no pains or expense
will be spared in ministerlng to the COM
fort and convenience of private patients.
This is the largest General Hospital north
of San Francisco, and by flr the most com.
pete in equipment. 1t has been thoroughly
Tefitted and refurnished. Its general wards
have accommodations for about one hun
dred patients and are peculiarly adapted
for cases requiring the most careful treat
ment and constant supervision Mt limited
expense. Those who desire them will sbe
urnishcd with private rooms, entirely
eparate and distinct, at slight additional
Ost.
Ess- The attention of Mill owners, and
those interested in shipping, is called to
the fact that seumen suffering from conta-
gious diseases will be treated outside the
Hospital without expense to the vessel.

Liquid Exeremelt,

How strangely we overlook the value
of the LIQUID excrement of our animals J!
A COW, under ordinary feeding, furnishes
in year 10000 pounds ofsolid excre-
ment, and about 5000 pounds Of liquid.
The comparative money value of the
two is but slightly in favor Of the solid.
This statement has been verified as
truth, over and over again. The urine
of herbivorous animals holds nearly all
the serections of the body which are
capable of producing the rich nitrogen
Gus compounds SO essential as forcing
or leaf-forming agents in the growth of
plants. The solid holds the phosphoric
acid, the lime, and magnesia. which go
to the seeds principally ; but the liquid,
holding nitrogen, potash, and soda, is
needed in forming the stalk and leaves.
The two forms OF plant nutriment should
never be separated Or allowed to be
wasted by neglect. The farmer who
saves all the urine of his animals dou-
bles bis manurial resources every year.
Good seasoned peat is Of immense SER
vice to farmers, when used as an absor-
bent, and the stalls for animals Shout
be so constructed as to admit of wide
passage in the rear, with generobs room
for peat, to be used daily with the ex-
crement.-Boston Journal Of CAemis-

BoNEs.-A writer in the Horticulture
ist buys bones Of the butcher at dollar
the hundred pounds, and considers
them the cheapest fertilizer he can OBJ
tain. He transforms them into meal by
the following simple and effective pro-
cess: II have large water-tight hogs
head standing out doors, near the kitch-
en-. In the spring cover the bottom
about six inches deep with dry soil. On
this 1 put layer Of bones about the
same depth, and cover them entirely
with unleached ashes. On these other
layer Of bones, then ashes, and soon IN.
til the hogshead is full. 1 leave it then
exposed to the sun and rain all summer
and winter, until the next spring. Then
on removing the contents Of the hogs
head, 1 find nearly all the bones so
soft that they will crumble to powder
under very slight pressure, and, mixed
with the ashes and the soil, they give
nice little pile of most valuable manure,
