The Value Of MIL and Lime.Water

DIR. E. N. Chapman has presented to
the medical society of the state of New
York some valuable notes on the use of
milk and lime for invalids. He says he
has used milk and hme-water for years
SIS a diet for his patient with great sue
cess, particularly in cases involving
nerve centers, that are acknowledged to
be little under the command OF the &C.
cepted modes of treatment: such, for in
stance, as maTasmus, ansemia, paralysis,
indigestion, neuralgia, cholera, demen-
tia and alcoholism. Also in cases where
the nutritive functions are at fault, milk
with 8 pinch of sqlt) being rendered
very acceptable to the stomach by the
lime, is the most digestible and nOurish-
ing food that can be given. 1t allays
gastric and intestinal irritability, offers
a duly prepared chyle to the sbsorbents,
supplies the blood with al the elements
of nutrition, Institutes healthful tissue
changes, stimulates the secreting glands,
and, in a word, provides nature with the
material to sustain herself in her contest
with disease. If it be conceded that ma
ture always accomplishes the cure when
ever it is secured, and that drugs merely
aid. direct or modify her efforts to this
end, it must be self-eVident that the
food, which supplies the vital forces with
all the power Of resistance they possess,
is 8 matter of the first importance, and
that milk acted on with time, provided
it contains all the essential properties of

An Amicted Woman.

About twenty years ago Mrs. Hiram
Crawford, of Bradford, Pa, had a can
Ger cut from her face. About twelve
years ago she attempted to cross the
railroad-crossing near a switch. She was
struck bv fiat car which was making a
flying switch. She had an infant III her
arms and little son of 4 years by the
hand. The car struck her and felled
her to the ground, inficting wound
upon her head, and crushing one hand
under the car, making a severe and
painful operation necessary. The in
FAINT was thrown from her arms upon
the platform of the moving car and car

crushed to death by the wheels. Last
Thursday she had her left breast cut
entirely away to save her from death by
cancer. This has not been all her at,

FARM AND PLANTATION.
Farm WAGES.


1t is important that farmers all over
the country be substantially agreed now
on the price to be paid for farm labor.
It seems plain to me that we are still
paying too high wages in proportion to
the prices of farm products, and the
prices of things consumed by laboreTs.
The price of labor is, of course, purely
relative, and will, in time, always regu-
late itself according to the great law OF
supply and demand. But laborers, as a
class, are ignorant of the laws OF political
economy. With them, q dollar is a
dollar, and it is hard to convince them
that dollar day now is as much IS two
dollars a day ten years ago. Farmer
themselves should fully understand the
subject, and clearly explain and argue 1t
in making their bargains 80 as to remove
all feeling that in reducing wages they
are grinding the faces of the poor"
A few facts seem clear and sh >uld be
thoroughly borne in mind:
l. The price of wages is purely rela
tive, as already remarked. 1t is relative
both to the times and to the currency.
In ChTist's time, "penny q day" was
the usual rate. But this "penny,"
CaboUt IA cents) would feed and clOthe
the labor er as well in proportion to the
customs and wants of the age as the dol
lar a day of % years ago, or the two
dollars in war times. In the reign of
Edward I the rate was about the same,
but wheat was Is cents bushel; IS
cents would buy a sheep, and So would
buy an OK. When currency is inflated the
''dollar" ceases to be the standard. 1t
took many dollars of the continental
money after the revolution to pay for 8
days labor. The same was true of the
Confederate money till it ceased to have
any value at all. And even now, in one
of the countries of South America, they
3 have currency really worth only about
few cents to the dollar.
2. The price of labor goes up quicker
than it goes down. This is usually true
and it naturally requires a reduction
But the laborer has no capital to run into
before he makes the discovery.
3. Farm and manufactured products
are already as low as before the war, anC
twice as low as during the war, bu
wages, especially farm wages, are fal
from being as low. The following table
gives the prices during the war anC
October, 1878, of ten of the leading
articles produced on dairy and grain
foYma.

The Queens Bullion.

The royal plate at Windsor, of which
an inventory has been taken, owing to
the departure OF her Majesty the Queen
for Italy, is stated to be of the value OF
e1,8OO,0OO. It includes a gold service,
ordered by George ~, which will dine
40 persons, and one of the finest wine
coolers in the world, added to the col
lection by the same monarch a shield
formed of snuff boxes worth $4,000
and thirty dozen plates worth 100000
There are also variety of pieces
brought from abroad and India. The
latter include a peacock of precious
stones of every description, worth 93O.

head, with crystal teeth and solid in

A Pacific Cable.

The project of laying a cable from
the California coast to Japan by way OF
the Hawaiian islands has reached the
point where subscriptions to the stock
are invited, and Cyrus W. Field has put
his name down for 100000. 1t is ex-
pected that the Hawaiian Government
will subscribe 100000, and that the
remainder of the requisite capital will
be raised in London, Paris, New York
and San Francisco. The scheme j.
in strong hands, and the fact that there
is an immense amount of capital in the
world that can't find profitable employ
ment in other enterprises is in its favor
SO there seems to be no reason why I
should not be a success.
