We were exposed last week to a
pitiless Storm, that wet our feet and
stockings, and indeed our person all
over. In fact we took a cracking
cold, which brought sore throat and
severe symptoms Of fever. The good
wife asserted her authority. plunged
orr feet in hot water, wrapped us in
hot blsnkets, and seHt our faithful son
for a bottle of AYERS CHERRY PEcTo-
RAJ. 1t is a splendid medicine
pleasant to take, and did the job. We
slept soundly through the night and
awoke well the next morning. We
know we owe our quick recovery to
the PectoraI, and shall not hesitate to
recommend it to all who need such a
medicine.-Tehuacana (TeGdS) Pres

ABOUT NEGETABLEs.-Don wash
your vegetables until just before you
are ready to cook them. AT least
oue.q quarter Of the value in sweetness,
vivacity and aromatic element is lost
by the too common practice Of having
washed clean Of the naturrl earth adj
herring to its Gbres and surface during
the growth, and which, when roughly
dug, is put into the cellar pit Of the
oountryman for winter keeping. Did
that countryman wash each beet, car
rot, potato, ETC., as is generally
practicel for sale by the dealer,
and by the consumer desired
he would never be able t. keep
his produce a single north. The re-
ceiver Of a clean washed vegetable,
according to the new established law
Of refinement, never yet ate Of good
natural flavor, and these same people
# once they leave their city homes
and 90 into the country farm house,
rarely fail to notice the superiority Of
vegetables. 1t is not because Of the
better knowledge of cooking, but it is
from the fact that The earth is a pre-
aorvatiye and absorbent Of the volatile
lement Of the root, which as soon as
washed, evaporates rapidly into the
air and is lost.

IL Is estimated that the annual damages
caused by the ravages OF insects and worms
exceed Sl5J 10000 in the United States alone.
Truly an enormous loss! Yet il sink into in
significance when compared with the rsvayes
of that more terrible scourge, Consumption,
which annually sweeps hundreds of thousands
Of human souls into eternity. The causes OF
consumption are various, depending in every
instance for the development Of the disease
upon the scrofulous diathesis, or tempera-
ment, of the victim. Thus the same cause
which will produce in one person an attack OF
acute disease or slight nervous prostraiion,
will engendcr consumption in a person OF
scrofulous habit. That consumption can be
cured by proper treatment will be readily per-
ceived when the exact nature of the disease is
understood, viz, the accumulation and depo-
sition of scrofuious matter (tuhercles) in the
lungs. Obviously, the principal remedies re-
quired are % a powerful alternative, or blood
purifier, to arrest the accumulations and also
cleanse the blood of the scrofuloIs matter.
and (2) mild cathartic to expe! the diseased
matter from the system. This course OF treat
ment, in conjunction with strict hygienic
regime, has proved the most successful, meth
cd of curing this disease. DR.. Pierce's Golden

ton with the most marked efficacy. DIR.

m, Est. Louis Republican,
Ahe proprIety of taxing debts in ,be
shape OF mortgages on property alreadv
1aAeu itseI continues to excite discussion
among economists. That il is nn;nst -
nrst tax piece of property, and then tav
an interest IN 1t represented nv mort
gage, no one can deny; but it ia asserted
nrst, that mortgages represent a large
amount OF wealth which ought mot to %
untaxed; and, second, that to leave mort
cages untaxed would be a fayoritism IN
money-ienders at the expense of debtor
property holders. 1t is certainly trna
enat mortgages represent a large amount
VI wealth In TINS country, and to leave
snem unassessed would necessitate a
nlgner rate OF taxation on other property
but as the actual property of the country
must and does pay all the taxes, first and
last, 1t is argued that it would be better
Tor the owners if these taxes we're assessed
on 1t directly. instead of assessing a nor
tion OF them on mortgages, transmitted by
the mortgages to the property. The
man who loans money takes the tax
rate into account and adds it to the
Underestimate he charges the borrower
de wants, say per cent clear for his
money, and 1t the tax-rate on mortgages is
=, he demands 10 per cent. on his loan
thus compelling the borrower, 10 point of
TACT. t" pay the mortgage tax as well as
the interest. 1t mortgages were not taxa
BILE, 1t is argued, the lender would ask ONLY
s per cent. for his money, and the borrow
er would get the benefit of a 2 per cent
reduction in the rate of interest.
but the theory that mortgages, bonds
and notes, all of them forms of ipdebted-
ness, are taxed, is very much of a fiction
Inc greater proportion of them are not re.
turned and therefore escape taxation. In
the assessment of Missouri for 1876 tho
total valuation was about 5000 600 600 of
which only $4,000, 900 consisted of mon.
ey bonds and notes." OF coursa M ono
supposes that this sum represents all the
money, bonds and notes held in the state.
1t does not represent one-fourth of them
At least three fourths go unreturped. and
therefore untaxed. Borrowers are charged
a high rate OF interest on the pretext that
bonds and notes are taxable, while in noint
OF fact they habitually escape taxatiop,
Eighteen counties in the state do not make
any return whatever under this hea0, while
great many more make returns of very
small amounts.
1t will be very difficult, however, to con-
vince the mass of people that it is cheap
or, simpler, and therefore better, to exempt
promissory notes from taxation. 1t would
have so much the appearance of favoritism
to the class who lend motley that the other
class, the borrowers of money, would not
consent to it-even though it is demonstra-
BILE that the latter would derive the larger
benefit from the exemption in the shape
row.
