The Public Interest

In that remarkable remedy, Turner's Regu-
lator, is increasing. Wherever it is once
known it works its own way into public
favor. As blood purifier it is valuable for
all who are troubled with skin diseases. IL
the blood is made pure and rich the skin will
be fair and healthy. Turner's Regulator is
good for the human system and will give
health when other remedies fail.

He KNEW ALL ABOUT GAs.-When a
man who has lost the sense of smell and
is abnormally suspicious Of burglars
so that he has carefully armed himself
against them, blows out the gas at mid
night in his room at a hotel, what in
the world is the bravest porter to do
with him? Mr.. Gresselmann, of Texas.
lately registered in st. Louis, is such
man. When the porter lighted him to
bed, he was asked if he understood gas,
and replied indignantly, We'll, l
should SMILE" Two hours later the
odor of escaping: gas proceeded out of
his room into the hall, and a porter
raped him up, asking him to turn it
off. For this the porter was ordered
away with threats of shooting, but he
insisted that the gas should be turned
off. Bang" went o pistol-shot, fol-
lowed soon by another. The proprietor
was called, but every entreaty he made
was met by other shots until fourteen
had been fired. At last some police
men burst open the door of the room
and found Mr.. Gresselman sitting on
the bed loading his pistol for another
attack. He had in his possession about
$50, and, as he could not smell, he
knew nothing of the escaping gas, and
imagined the people outside were try.
ing to rob him of his money.

Archery.

An exchange says: The returns
from the female archery clubs of
America for the season of 1879 are now
all in. We gather from them the fol-
lowing interesting statistics which indi-
cate that this branch of industry is in
q fourishing condition The target
was hit during the season. three times
out. Of a possible 81. 600, 900. The
rumor that these three times were acct
dents is without foundation; 2,S74 of
the archers have become hopefully en-
gagged to the young gentlemen who
were so kind as to teach them how to
aim; 8 $40 other girls are sure they
would also have become engaged had it
not been for these 2,S74. The $40 do
not hesitate to assert that the ,S74 took
unfair advantages and were unbeeom-
ingly forward. The matter is to be
brought to the notice of the next
national convention of the archers.
During the year, 1S4 ,94S barn doors
were well hit. -iOf this number, 3d.:
Ala appertained to barns situated less
than mile to the right of the target;
92 Ala to barns situated less than that
distance to the left of the. target. The
casualties OF the year are immaterial
and considerably less in number and
severity than thosa of the season Of
1878. 1t appears from the returns that
only 270 cows, Is horses, goats, 5
pigs, 81 small boys and %, 100 peddlers
I Of a new map of Palestine were either
! killed or wounded during the season,
and that In every instance the blame
was with the animal hit The archers
to girl have filed afidavits from which
it appears that each ono OF those COWS,
horses, goats. pigs and boys were
recklessly exposing their lives by
standing within $3.50 feet of tile re-
spective targets at the time the acct
dents occurred. ''"'' ."''..'

Treatment of Sleep-waIking.

Never wake sleep.walker if it car possibly be avoided. In certain fami- ly residing in Chicago the childrer while young were all more or less adiot- ed to sleep walking. One of the younger branches, girl of fifteen, on one occasion rose from her bed, and, walking down stairs, entered the draw ing room, where were assembled few guests. Fortunately, the girls habit was known to most of the company. who, instead of evinoing horror of the unwonted visitor, treated the matter in O ehiloeuPli" light. and even r,aintain- ed their usual conversation as the girls fatber took her hand and led her quietly up stairs to bed. Had the somnambu- list been rudely awakened, the conse- quence might have been serious and the calm demeanor of the spectators and iudicious management of the girls parent on this occasion, related by one of the editors of the Chicago Tribune, may, perhaps, act as a hint to others who may be similarly situated.

The Condensation of Milk.

Tho Germantown Telegraph, in an article on the milk business, calls at- tention to the vast sewing that would be effected by the condensation of milk. Nine gallons out of every ten of milk is mere water, as}it comes direct from the COW without any additions from the pump. The transportation of the arti- Gle IS costly and the expense is there fore ninety per cent. more tban it would be If the milk was condensed on the farm that produces it, or factory estab- llshed for the purpose. The system has been established out West, and spoon- full of the condensed milk with ten of water produces 8 far better article than IS supplied to those who are served with what IS called pure milk at home. The dalryman receives very little for his milk, the six, or eight, or ten cents quart demanded by the milk agent qo- ing mostly into the pockets of the latter. leaving not more than two or three cents for the producer. The milkmen have to provide cans, which, being handled by men accustomed to smashing baggage. do not last long and it requires a man With horse and wagon to serve one or two customers; so that, although their profits are large, they seldom grow rich. 1t must also be considered that the con- densation would prevent any loss from milk souring and being returned to the producers-a dead loss after the pay ment of transportation expenses. The cheese factory system has, in the dis tricts where it has been established. frightened the troubles of tie tlairymen-; put tho manufacture and general use of condensed milk would be an etfectual cure. In London condensed milk has become so popular that it has driven the natural article out of the market. A most remarkable fact is that the arti. Gle popular there is not British article. but IS put up in Switzerland. With this example before them, the dairymen of this section should be warned of the dan ger that the Western condensed milk may drive the produce of their dairies out of the market. The English milk producers have had their eyes opened, and are about to establish condensing factories, so as to avoid the loss of their entire milk trade. The present system IS so wasteful, and therefore expensive to the consumers, that @ remedy should be adopted.
