The National ScOurge.

It is estimated that the annual damages
caused by the ravages Of insects and
worms exceed $3.50, 100000 in the United
States alone. Truly an enormous loss /!
Yet it sinks into insignifcance when com
pared with the ravages Of that more ter
rible scourge, Consumption, which annual
ly sweeps hundreds ofthousands Of human
souls into eternity. The causes OF con-
sumption are various, depending in every
instance for the development OF the disease
upon the scrofulOus diathesis, or tempera-
meut, of the victim. Thus the same cause
which will produce in one person an attack
of acute disease or slight nervous pros
tralon, will engender consumption in a
person of scrofulous habit. That consump-
ton can be cured by proper treatment will
be readily perceived when the exact uature
of the disease is understood, viz: the &C
emulation and deposition of scrofulous
matter (tubercIes) in the lungs. Obvious
ly, the principal remedies required are ~
powerful Alternative, or blood purifier, to
arrest the accumulation5 and also cleanse
the blood of the scrofulous matter, and ~
mild cathartic to expel the diseased
matter from the system. The course OF
treatment, in conjunction with strict
hygienic regime, has proved the most
successful method of curing this disease.
DR.. Perce's Golden Medical Discovery
and Pleasant Pargative Pellets are the best
alternative and cathartic remedies before
the public, and have been alone used IN
thousands Of cases Of consumption with
the most marked efficacy. DR.. Pierce's
Invalids' Hotel, at Buffalo New York, at-
fords special and unequaled advantages
to consumptiyes, not only possessing the
best medical and hygienic means oftreat,
ment but having the essential advantage
Of being situated in climate where the
inhabitants are notably free from the
| disease.

Nick thought Of the ammunition and
knew that his only hope for life was IN
jumping from the roof and taking chances
on being shot down as soon as he reached
the ground. Waiting just a nome Mt for the
smoke to roll over the roof and completely
envelope him, he took a runniDgleap, and
sprang out into the black space before
him. The distance to the ground was
not over twelve or fifteen feet, and he
landed in safety. But hardly had be felt
the ground beneath his feet when the
building blew up with shock that shook
the earth for many yards around. The
almost providential blowing up Of the
building in all probability saved his life,
as the Indians no doubt though he went
up with it. At all events Nick succeeded
in reaching the brush bordering the river,
and after travelling three days in his bare
feet and without food arrived at the settle
ment near the crossing Of Dearborn river.

Singular Wagers.

HYDE Park Corner to Hammersmith for

Raymond reached the doors first, and, !,

sense of propriety permitted. Swift did
not slacken speed in the least, but ran up
the aisle, passed his opponent, without
stopping to put on a surplice or open the

on with the service sufficiently long to win
the wager.-A1t the Year Round.

How thief was detected.-On last
Wednesday two ladies were driving home
from Natchez to place in the country,
when the two mules they were driving set
up :. loud and continuous nickering, which
was as loudly and continuously responded
to by another mule, ridden BY colored
maj approaching With several bags ofseed
cotton strapped upon him. The three
mules were old acquaintances, being &C
customed to being driven together in a
four mule team. So strong was their at
tachment that they llided in spite Of all
that could be done BY the man that had
the seed cotton. The ladies recognized
the man and mule. The man was soon
interviewed bY committee Of the Wash
ington Protective Association, who, find
ing the seed cotton to have been stolen,
made it so hot for him that he has acted
upon the maxim that discretion is the
better part Of valer, ond left for parts un-

MORE ON TURNIPs.-The Country Gen
Heman says turnips may be grown in less
time, and at less expense of labor and
fertility of soil, than any other root or
tubes grown on the farm, and for the table
of feeding to stock they fill want often
otherwise unsupplied. One great advan-
tage to the general farmer is that the
crop may be put in after other hoed crops
are well along, or where such may have
failed from any cause. The product, too,
is usually abundant for the space occu-
pied. All kinds of stock are fond of
then, especially during winter, and not
only SO, but they thrive and lay on fat
faster when fed on turnips, in connection
with other feed, than when they are de
prived of succulent food. However low
in the scale OF nutrition science may place
the turuip, there can be no disputing &C
tual experience in their feeding results.
Straw with turnips may be made to fill a
want of hay for much farm stock. Well
decomposed manure or some approved
fertilizer should be applied as dressing
to the soil previous to sowing the seed.
Drill culture has the advantage over
broadcast in that the crop may be cult
waited and kept free of weeds, and with
greater certainty Of good, sizable roots in
greater abundance.

Inscriptions on Egyptian TOmbs.

At the entrance of one of the tombs at
Ell Kab, in Upper Egypt the stone wall
speaks MS follows of the Egyptian buried
within
"He loved his father and brother, and
honored his mother. He never entered
his house with an angry heart. He never
| favored the nobleman above the simple"
Ofanother Egyptian, also buried at El
Kab, more than four thousand years ago,
the rock says, speaking in the person Of
the deceased:
ION earth was prudent and wise
man, and my soul ever loved God. If
was brother to the noble, | was a father
to the poor, and never scattered hatred
among men,"
On the rocky wall of another tomb the
inmate thus addresses those who enter it ::
IL will tell you, o We that live after
me, how it was with me during my life
was not naughty, neither did curse,
neither did revile, neither did | love to
quarrel with my neighbor. l never
withstood the poor and the oppressed,
but always sough. by word and deed for
reconciliation"
The inscription on the statue Of one of
the priests of the Egyptian PtIlas, at Stis,
who lived at the unhappy time when
CAmbysis undertook his military expedi-
ton against Egypt, begins in the same
way with the words:
II honored my father, and respected
my mother, and loved my brother. |

evil time in Sais, when the great disaster
passed over Egypt"

scribed on the side wall of the famous
vavlt at Benz Hassan, does more honor to
| the provincial governor, whom 1t com
memorates, than the list of his warlike

BlYTnE's idea of preserving wood with
creo.ote- saturated steam has been very
successfully carried out. The process is
very simple and efficient. The apparatus
consists of a high-pressure steam boiler,
another boiler containing the creosote,
with a vat filed with creosote, to supply
it by means of pump; sheet-iron cylin-
ders where the pieces of timber are in
je tied, and system of tubing connecting
the boilers and the cylinders. The steam
opens the pores of the wood, aud the
creosote is left deposited in the cells.
When the wood comes out it is very plia-
BILE, and can be bent into any desired
shape, but it soon hardens and becomes
very rigid. Wood thus created very eff
fectualiy resis,s the deteriorating infiu-
ence of moisture aud of various insects
and worms.
