That of a "heathen CnInee," if belonging to
one of our race, can scarcely be described as
attractive. But worse than this. 1t is the in>
dex of disordered liver, of liver that
needs arousing and regulating. TIE remedy
is at hand, prompt, efficscious. A course OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will expel the
misdirected bile from the blood and divert
it into the proper channel, open the bowels,
remove the dyspeptic symptoms which iu-
variably accompany biliousness and coUn-
teracts the rapidly develol ing tendency TO
dangerous congestion Of the liver, which
must always exist when the skin and whites
of the eyes assume this yellow hue. the
pains through the right lower ribs, side and
shoulder blade, the nausea, fured state of
the tongue, and unpleasant breath, which
indicate liver complaint, in short all its dis
agreeable concomitants are soon remedied
by this sovereign corrective, which in addi-
ton to its regulating properties is superb
invigorant, snd pure and agreeable med

Gas and Electricity.
New fork Tribune,

At the regular weekly meeting of the
New York Polytechnic Society. last
evening, in room "a OF the Cooper Insti-
tute, Ernst Schenrock explained briefly
q new system of gas lighting. The sys-
tenn was invented by Julius Pintsch, of
Berlin, and is adapted especially to the
lighting up of railway carrisges, large
buildings and floating buoys. The gas
is distilled from fat,or petroleum refuse,
is very rich and brilliant, and the cost
is far below that of coal gas. The adj
vantsges claimed for it are due to the
peculiar method of Manufacture by the
furnaces designed by Mr.. Pintsch. The
gas is dry and permanent, without mois-
ture or sediment, and it suffers no loss bv
condensation in the pipes. 1t has been
used for several years in Europe, on the
principal railroads of England, Russia
and Germany. Between 5000 and 900
cars on these railroads have been pro-
vided with the gas, and it is used also in
Russia and Germany, and in that of the
Prince of Wales. 1t has been adopted
on the whole line by the directors Of the
Metropolitan Underground railroad of
London. 1t is used in a compressed form,
and on railroad cars is contained in tanks
or cylinders attached to the bottom of
the cars. Its use is not dar gsrous, the
gas being subjected only to a pressure Of
ninety pounds to the square inch, and is
not explosive. The supply is controlled
by delicate regulator, which maintains
steady and regular fame in the lamp.
The gas has been used also in lighting
buoys to mark the entrances of harbors,
and for that purpose has received the
approval of Trinity House, London.
Permission has been received from Sec
retary Sherman to admit, free of duty,
a buoy to be exhibited in this harbor.
The arrival of the buoy is expected
within a few weeks. 1t is said to be
probable that the gas will be adopted for
use on the Metropolitan Elevated rail.
road in this city, which would save, it is
said, $50 day in the lighting of its cars.

Ten years ago the United States and
Russia stood about even in supplying
the demands of Great Britain for wheat,
-four, and corn, this country sending
10, 594 900 cwt., and Russia lO,7l9,OOO
cwt. Since that date, however, we have
steadilv led, until last year Great Britain
took 4S 730, 600 cwt. from America, and
IL .169, 900 cwt. from Russia.
A farmer of experience says that the
feet of horse require more care than
the body. They need ten times as
much, for in one respect they are almost
the entire horse. All the grooming that
can be done won't avail anything If the
horse is forced to stand where his feet
will be filthy. In this case the feet will
become disordered, and then the legs
will get badly out of fix; and with bad
feet and legs there is not much else OF
the horse fit for anything.
Within the last ten years Colorado
has increased her flock Of sheep from 20
600 head to over 100000 head. This
notwithstanding the effort to prevent the
introduction of sheep by the cattle inter-
est. As with cattle, the means used are
very simple. The sheep are herded in
fl ,cks of 900 TO :, 500 on the range BY
day, and corraled at night Mexican
sheep are worked in still grester focks,
even up to 600. The best fOckmasters,
however, consider gangs of sheep over
l,500 to 1000 head as not working sat
istsctorily. A
A New Jersev paper says that nine
ty wears ago IL was regarded as q settled
point that corn in drills gave larger
product than in hills. but that now, after
much discussion, it remains unsettled.
The remark would not be made by any
one who mad informed himself on he
subject. We have thoroughly tested
this question by measuring the results
and find almost uniformly an increase of
% TO 80 per cent. with drill corn over
mills, provided the proper distance given
for the plants. 1t would be easy TO OBJ
tain diminished amount from the drills
if too thinly planted; or ears ofsan infe-
rior quality, il too thick. John John

What is Covered by Insurance.

People, when procuring insurance, are
not particular enough IN specifying the
articles they wished covered by tEeir
policies of insurance, sc that when fire
occurs they find the property which
they supposed was insured has no insur-
ance upon it. When a store building is
insured, the fixtures, fitting up and
counters are not covered by the policy
on the building, unless specified, as they
are not considered in law a part OF the
realty. If stock of merchandise i-
insured, the fixtures, counters, show
cases, stoves, iron safes, scales and W, lights
are not covered unie-s specified ard u
specific amount put upon them.
When the contents of dwelling are
insured, the term 6 household furniture"
is very comprehensive one, and includes
nearly everything ordinarily used bv a
family in housekeepin and Is now hello
to ioclude pisnotorte, although il Is
better TO have specific amount upon
it. Is does net, OF course, include fatni V
wearing apparel or provisions, whici
most be named separately, neither Gue,
it include siiverware, paintings, pictures,
iewelry, melodeon, books, watches or
fancy articles, ali of hich, to be covered
by the policy, must be named separately
and have specified amount upon each.
When the contents of barn are in
sured, they should be specified, as so
much on hay and grain, such an amount
on so many horses, cows or oxen, namirg
the number, and have the amount speci-
fed that is to be paid on each in case of
partial loss. When a fire ccursand the
sufferer finds that many articles are not
covered by his policy which he supp os9d
were insured, he censures the insurance
company or the agents. when the fault,
If any, is that he is not sufficiently e1-
pEcit in specifying the property he
desires 10 get insured.

or the Exercises of IA Good Religion,

or the Exercises of "A Good Religious
Person.
The life of good religious person
ought to excel in all virtues; that be
may inwsrdly be such as outwardly he
seemeth to men.
And rightly there ought to be much
more within, than is perceived without.
For God beholdeth us; whom we are
bound most highly to reverence where
sOever we are, and to walk in purity like
angels in His sight.
Daily ought we to renew our purposes,
and to stir up ourselves to greater ervor,
as though this were the first day of our
conversion, and TO say:
Help me, my God in this my good
purpose, and in Thy holy service; and
grant that l may now this day begin
perfectly; for that which l have done
hitherto is as nothing"
According to our purpose shall be the
success of spiritual profting; and much
diligence is necessary to him that will
profit much. And il he that firmly pur-
poseth often faileth, what shall he do
that seldom or but weakly purposeth
anything.
Yet in various ways it happens that
we torsake our purpose, and a slight
omission of our spiritual exercise is not
without loss to our souls.
The purpose of just men depends not
upon their own wisdom, but upon Gods
grace; on whom they always rely for
whatsoever they take in hand.
For man proposes but God disposes !;
neither is the way Of man in himself
If an accustomed exercise Be some
times omitted, either or some act of
piety or profit to our brother, it may
easily afterwards be recovered again.
But if, out of WEAKNESS or carelessness,
we lightly emit it, it is very blsmewor-
thy; and will be felt to be hurtful. Do
the best we can, We shall still too easily
fail in many things.
Yet must we always have some fixed
purpose, and especially against those
siDs which do most of all hinder us.
We must diligently search into, and
set in order both our outward and ill.,
ward things, because both of them are of
Importance to our progress in godliness
IT thou canst not continually collect
! thyself, yet do it sometimes, at the least
twice Gay, namely, IN the morning and
at night.
In the morning fix thy good purpose
and at night examine myself what thou
hast dope, how thou hast behaved thy,
self in word, deed and thought; for in
these perhaps thou hast ofteutimes
offended both God and thy neighbor.
Those devotions which belong not to
the community ought not TO be exposed
to public view, for private devotions are
practiced most safely in secret.
Nevertheless thou must beware thou
neglect not those which are public,
being more ready for what is private.
But having fully ana faithfully accom-
plished all which thou art bound and
enjoined to do, if thou hast any spare
time betake thee to thyself as thy devo-
ton calleth thee.-TThomas a. Kempis.

Be.earcse. into the Text of Scripture.

AS it is of great importance to have
the exact meaning of the divine revela-
ton to man, it is not strange that the
lives of many learned men are mainly
devoted to the calculation of the true
text of the original scriptures and its
exact equivalent in English.
Whilst our authorized version is, upon
the whole, remarkably accurate and
beautiful, the learned men who made
and compiled it had not the same ad van.
tages for a full and minute comprehen.
sion of the original that is enjoyed now,
by comparison of a number of manu>
scripts of greater antiquity than any to
which they had access; and as the two
earliest of these omit some small passages,
chiefly parenthetical, which are found in
later manuscripts, it Is supposed that
such passages were explana .,
which through the course OF ages became
inso .pOrated with the text by transcri-
bers.
In Dean Alvord's very reconcile and
reliable translation of the new Testament
these are carefully pointed out, and in
some cases they give a slight shade Of
difference to the meaning. The follows
lug are passages in Matthew's gospel:
In Chap. va, the words without
Cause " are lett out of a number OF the
ole versions. and the translation of the
word m0reb (rebel) by the word tool is
considered doubtful. The Lords Prayer
in the sixth chapter lacks the concluding
ascription of praise in slI the most an
clenl manuscripts. In Matt. AVS, the
words D." draweth nigh unto Ne with
their mouth and" are not found in the
oldest manuscripts. The twenty first
verse of the seventeenth chapter, which
reads, "Howbeit this kind goeth not out,
but by prayer and fasting" are omitted
ia some old MSS, whilst others which
retain the verse leave OFT fasting"
The eleventh verse of the eighteenth
chapter is not found in the most ancient
manuscripts, snd it seems to have NO
connection with the context None OF
these omissions or additions affect the
sense Of the Scripture, but there is one in
Chap xviii Is which does so to some
extent. The words against thee" are
and if they are left out, the duty of a
Christian brother is greatly extended
In the twentieth chapter of this Gospel,
and sixteenth verse, the words, 'For
many may be called, but few are chosen, +"
which appear to have no connection with
the context, are not found in the most
ancient manuscripts. Verse fourteen of
the twenty third chapter of Matthew is
not contained in sny of the most ancient
manu- -cripts 1t was probably inserted
from Mark xii: 40, aud Luke Xxx Al.
The word "new' IN Matt XVI rs is
not contained in several of the ancient
manuscripts. All of the thirty-fit
verse of Matt. xvii is omitted in the
most ancient manuscripts, except the
first clause. What follows slots" was
probably inserted from John xix: "a
