Magnitude of the Dairy Interest.

In an address before the Western Re
serve Dairy Association, by Mr.. Sher-
man Tracy, some statistics are given.
showing the amount of capital invested
IN the dairy business in the United
States, which are rather startling ex-
hlblt to those who have never given the
subject thought. In the year 1875
there were 10000, 600 COWS used for
dairy purposes, which, valued at S45
per head, would represent capital of
$3.50, 600. 600. If 1T requires three acres
OF land to support each cow, then there
must be 30, 900, 600 acres devoted to this
interest, which, at low average cost of
$50 an acre, represents capital of
$500, 900, 600. Adding to this the capt.
tai invested In teams, wagons and dairy
implements, say 800, 600, 600, the total
investments would be 81 ,450, 600. 900 for
this single industry. Compared with
the banking capital of the country.
as reported for 1877 by the Comptroller
OF the Currency, the aggregate capital of
the national banks exceeds by $50, 900, 600
only the single item of COWS: and the
capital invested ID banks, other than
national banks, is but rs per cent. of
the investment by dairymen in lands.
Adding to the amount invested in bank
ing the amount of all individual deposits
IN all the banks of the country, other
than savings banks, the amount of bank
ing capital and deposits is 81, 100. 1884,
$50, or less than 20 per cent. greater
than that invested in the dairy business,

Workers in Deem Mines.

Not many men who see the miners of
Savage lifted out at the top of
the shaft at change of shift have the
courage to descend into the lower re-
gions of that mine. Very few even of
the old residents of the Comstock would
care to descend into the steaming re-
g1ons below, and not one Eastern man
In thousand could be induced to make
the trip after seeing the men popped out
at the top of the shaft, steaming as
though just lifted out of a caldren of
boiling water. Though they are shirt
less-naked as at birth from the waist
up-and wear only cotton overalls, they
are dripping as if but moment out of q
pond of water; yet this is from steam and
persplration. In all this great heat men
work. The wonder is that they are able
to do anything but gasp and pant. 1t
is a place better fitted for salamanders
than for men. At the head of the main
incline it is as hot as in the hottest yapor
bath at Steamboat Springs. One would
think that men much in such a place
would be secure against the rheumatism.
On making inquiries in this regard of an
underground foreman, he said he never
knew any of the men working below to
have the rheumatism. Some of our suf-
ferers from this disease might try this
cure-mlght procure themselves to be
lowered into the depths of the mine.
there to sit and steam through Ole shift
per day. But for the immense auanti-
ties OF ice water they drink, the men
could not endure the great heat in which
they are placed or the floods of perspira-
ton pumped from their pores. They
swallow gallons ON gallons of it, and it
never hurts them in the least Vri-

TOMed BY a Whale

from Orland, Hancock county, Me-, in
April last, to the banks of Newfor1nd-

while fishing on the rocks, lying at an
Choir, with some $50 or 200 fathoms of

found to be under way. The weather

intervals to blow, growing more and

used every means they could to retard
the whale by throwing the helm to in
different directions, so as to bring her

no se,'s set and no visible means of pro-
pulsion. The whale finally tore away
by breaking the cable. He had got the

Nationality of Recruits.

Prior to the rebellion the United
States army was filed up, in a great
measure, by Irish and German immi-
grants, who, after brief soiourn in our
crowded cities, drifted to the recruiting
rendezvous and were easily persuaded
to enlist, the recruiting sergeant taking
care that the rosy side of army life
was presented to hesitating applicant.
Since the war, however, the proportion
of native-born citizens in our army has
very much increased. The latest official
record of enlistment shows that out of
183, $50 men who have joined the SER
vice since 1865 more than half were
Americans. This record, which bears
interesting evidence of the mixed COM
plexion of our national forces, is as fol-

A DebatabIe Onestin,

While much has been written concerning the
use OF put up medicines, the question ia still
an open one, and demands of the people care
full consideration. The salient points NAV be-
briefly stated, and answered as follows: Ist-
Are the sick capable of determining their real

Zo-Can physician, no matter how skillful,
prepare universal remedy, adapted to the Pc
culiar ailments of q large class Of people, resid-
Ing IN different latitudes and subject to various
climatic influences? In answer to the first pro-
position, we would say, diseases are named and
known by certain "signs" or symptoms, aud,
as mother does not need a physician to tell
her that her child has the whooping- cough, or
indicate remedy, SO people when afflicted with
many OF the symptoms concomitant to "impure

argue that diseases are sectionally peculiar,
and that their treatment must therefore vary,
and yet quinine, morphine, podophyllin, and
hundreds OF other remedies prescribed in
all countries to overcome certain conditions. Is
1t not, therefore, self-evident that physician
whose large experience has made him familiar
with the many phases incident to all impurities
of the blood general and nervous debility. uer
complaint, dyspepsia; consumption and cdtdrrh,
can prepare series Of remedies exactly adapted

by whatever means, it may have been engend-

above requirements. Many physicians prescribe
