II may be that the warm weather which
has been confusing the almanac for the past
few days has not had time to show an effect
upon the health of the public but the fact
remains that the general health of this city
is excellent Indeed, as is shown in an arti-
Gle printed elsewhere. the death rate of last
week WAS smaller than for the corresponding
week of last year. in spite Of the difference
in temperature and the increase of population.
This has been the warmest October for
twenty years. but its evil effects will not he
felt in force until after a change of weather,
and perhaps will not then fully confirm the
popular notion that such term of warmth is
injurious to health.

The figures compiled by Dun, Barlow &
Co. for the thld quarter of 1879 show some
encouraging and surprising results. For the
time mentioned the business failures in
the United States have been less than
one-half of the number during the third
quarter of 1873, the number falling from
2. s53 10 1,262-a difference of 1871.
Tn the total amount of liabilities the reduc-
ton Is even greater, being only one-quarter
of the total amount for the same period OF
last year. While the number of failures
during the third quarter Of 1873 was
unusual, owing to the fact that the law re-
pealing the Bankrupt Act went into operation
September 1, the improvement is very great
nevertheless.

WELL-BUILT CHRIsTIANs.-A we'll
built Christian is harmonious in all his
parts. No one trait shames another.
He is not a tumble of inconsistencies
to-day devout, tomorrow frivolous; to-
day liberal to one cause, tomorrow mig
gardly toward another f; to-day fluent in
prayer, and tomorrow fluent in polite
falsehoods. He does not keep the fourth
commandment on the Sunday, and break
the eighth commandment on Monday.
He does not shirk an honest debt to make
huge donation. He is not in favor of
temperance for other folks, and of a
glass of toddy for himself. He does not
exhOrt or pray at each of the few meet
ings he attends, to make up arrearages
for the more meetings which he neglects.
He does not SO consume his spiritual fuel
during revival seasons, that he is cold
as Nova Zembla during all the rest of
the time; nor do his spiritual fervors
ever outrun his well-ordered converse

FRIGHTENING TINwARE.- O One
of the best things l have ever tried for
keeping tins bright is water lime This
is soft brown substance that polishes
metals without scratching the surface
and is very cheap. ~ First rub your
tins with damp cloth. then take dry
-four and rub it on with your hands and
afterward take an old newspaper and
rub the -four off. and the tins will shine
as we'll as if half an hour had been
spent in rubbing them with brick-dust
or powder, which soils the hands. (3)
The best thing for cleaning tinware is
common soda. Dampen cloth and dip
in soda and rub the ware briskly, after
which wipe dry, and it will look equal
to new. To prevent rusting of tin rub
fresh lard over every part of the dish,
and then put in hot oven and heat il
thoroughly. Thus treated, any tinware
may be used in water constantly, and
remain bright and free from rust. a.

KEEPING EGGs FREsH.-I saw very
good arrangement for keeping eggs, at
a friends house, short time since. and
it was so simple and practicable that it
ought to be generally known. 1t was a
set of shelves, two feet long and eight
inches wide. There were four of them,
with space of five inches between the
shelves. They were made of hard wood
board, planed and round holes bored
with an inch auger ran the whole length
three rows of the holes on each shelf,
and twelve in each row; one shelf would
hold three dozen eggs. The eggs were
set in with the small end down, so that
the yolk could not settle against the
shell. The lady said she had kept eggs
six months in this manner, perfectly
sweet; also that the free circulation Of
air round them was very important, and
there was no danger of cracking the
shetland / noted it in my mind as a
thing we'll worth remembering.-Farm.

THE BONE ALL.

Prof. Cressy> in his address at the
county fair. Thursday. gave an interest
ing description of the nature and causes
of the novel cattle diseases which have
lately broken out in Connecticut and in
Rupert in this State. The scientific
name of that in Connecticut, popularity
called "bone ALL" he said, meant
'predisposition to disease of the BONE"
1t attacks all bones, but is particularly
marked in the stiAe joints, correspond
ing to the human knee, and the hip
joints. In the former, which is the
main seat of the disease. it absorbs or
eats out the external semi-lumar, or
floating cartilage, causing the legs to bend
outward, and the compact tissue Of the
ends of the bone to be worn through by
attrition, so that the spongy portion
may be plainly seen within and the
bones will creak in walking like rusty
door. In the hip joint the ligament is
absorbed so that the whirlbone is often
dislocated out of its socket. While this
disease occurs in isolated cases all over
the country, it seems to be endemic in
the Pennington valley. Connecticut. 1t
always occurs where the cattle have been
fed largely on shorts, and the barnyard
manure alone has been applied to the
soil, without any mineral ,enrichment
| NO immediate remedies are known for it.
but sure preventative and restorative
for the system where the joint is not
totally destroyed, is the feeding Of bone
meal and the full grain instead of bran
alone, and in the application of mineral
fertilizers, like plaster paris. super-phos-
phate, ashes and potash salts. The
disease, he said. occurs mainly among
Jersey and Attorney cattle.-Eachange.

CLERGYMEN LIKE THE
STAND-BYS.

The simple presence of such persons in
the church is of itself to every minister
a powerful help and encouragement. He
is glad, of course, to see new faces COM
ing in from time to time. The poor
mother, the standby at home, who has
breakfast and a husband and a half
dozen children to get ready in the morn
ing, so that she herself can come out
only now and then, whenever she does
come is seen with pleasure. The young
men of his flock, flowers of the kingdom,
whose eyes and religious natures open
usually only in the latter part of the
day, but who occasionally under the in
spiration of new suit of Sunday clothes
blossom out in the forenoon, excite in
him, till he learns better, CLEAN of
hope. The religious casual, the small
and infrequent worshipper described by
Horace, owning pew but occupying it
so seldom that when he does use it it
has to be found for him by the sexton,
is not by any means unwelcome; and
there is always an inspiration of some
sort in the great crowd of strangers who
appear Sunday night when it has been
advertised that he is going to speak on
the kingdom of Satan, or the doings Of
the devil, or the sowing of wild oats,
it is the stand-bys, the men-usually
old ones-and the women living often
farthest from the church, who are abso-
lutely sure of being in their places
punctually every Sunday, Thanksgiving
and even Fast day, whatever the season
or the weather or the subject may be-
these that he looks upon with special
delight and finds to be the fountains o.
his greatest earthly inspiration.-Sat'a

VERMONT WINTER WHEAT.-Henry
Lane of Cornwall, in the Neac En-
gland Farmer, says: 'Iast year |
raised eighty.four bushels of the Claw
son wheat on one acre and one hundred
and forty-three rods of ground. This
was the first crop of Clawson wheat
raised in this section. Last fall | sowed
four acres, which harvested last week.
The crop is nearly or quite equal to that
of last year. 1 sold my last years crop
for seed: mostly to my neighbors, and
there are some very fine crops of it har-
vested think quite forty bushels per
acre. When the country was new the
clay soils in the Champlain valley pro-
duced abundant crops of winter wheat,
in fact it was the principal crop raised
for an income on the farm. Some thirty
or forty years ago the wheat crop was
troubled with the weevil. In a few
years this insect was so destructive that
raising winter wheat was abandoned. A
good growth of straw could be produced.
but little or no wheat. For the past
FIVE years farmers have been sowing
winter wheat. and with good success
and no trouble from weevils. / have
examined my wheat very thoroughly,
and fail to find single one of these
insects. The area sowed to winter
wheat is on the increase from year to
year. and the clay soils that, fifty years
ago, produced such abundant crops Of
No. winter wheat, are again growing
crops equal in yield and quality to those
grown when the country was first settled.
We hope that destructive pest, the
weevil. will not again trouble US.
