A NEW JERSEY paper says that ninety
years ago 1t was regarded as settled
point that corn in drills gave a larger
product than in hills, but that now,
after much discussion, it remains I'M
settled. The remark would not be
made by any one who had informed
himself on the subject. We have
thoroughly tested this question by
measuring the results and find almost
uniformly an increase of % to so Der
cent. with drill corn over hills, provided
the proper distance is given for the
plants; 1t would be easy to obtain d
diminished amount from the drills if
too thinly planted; or ears of Sn IN

A Source of Much Bodily Evil.

evil is inflicted on the system. The stomach be-
comes dyspeptic bilious symptoms develop them
selves, the circulation is contaminated. and the
nerves share in the general disorder. 1t is of the
utmost importance that the bowels should be
thoroughly and speedily regulated wien they
grow derelict. The corrective agent best adapted
to this purpose is Hostetter's stomach Bitters. q

time of ParaceIsus. People who have been IN
the habit of using blue pill, calomel and other
drugs and cheap nostrums for constipation, should
abandon such hurtful and useless medicines and
substitute for Them this pleasant and gentle
aperient, which not only produces the purgatlve
effect naturally, but also strengthens while It
regulates the bowels, stomach and liver. 1t more

10 a recent voyage from Melbourne
to the Fiji Islands, the steamer Arie,
called at Lord Howe Island, where
twenty-five people in all were found.
The island ismountainous. of volcanic
origin, but wdl-wooded, about five miles
long, and from one and half to two
miles broad, and is situated some 400
miles east of Sydney. The commune
cation of the Inhabitants with the outer

vote the Wing ticket. As the vote was
a pretty important factor in Illinois
politics STEPHEN A. Douglas went and
labored with The prophet and converted
him to democracy, but Smith said that
he had ALREADY had and made public
his revelation. and it would not do for
him to have another; however; Douglas
could fix that with his brother. His
brother thererpon had a revelation en-
joining ali true members of the church
to vote the democratic ticket, and when
Joe Smith was questioned on the sub
