In this manner any kind OF
seed may be sorted and its pre-
centage of purity determined.
Whether the object under ex-
animation is big or small,
whether Indian corn or grass
seed, the method is always the
same. Nor is an examination of
this kind very difficult, though
in the case of small seeds requir-
ing considerable time, every
single grain has to be closely in
spected.
After finding by this process
how many pounds Of absolutely
pure seed are contained in a
hundred weight, we are however
still ignorant a. to whether the
seed isr,alIy capable of germina-
ting. For our object being to
raise from it. not only the most
possible, and at the same time
healthy plants, we have seen
what dangerous arising from age
worms, corrosives etc. are likely
to thwart us.
Therefore in order to ascer-
tain,now many grains thoroughly
sound and capable of germinat-
ing there are in a given sample,
we take from it after the remove
OF all foreign matter, an accurat-
ely counted number of grains,
generally some hundreds. Put
ting them in an appropriate APP
paratus aud sprinkling them
with water, we subject them to
such considerations, as wide
infalibly make any sound
seed gcrminate. From day
to day the sprouting seeds
are t; ken out by means Of
small ~pinchers, and their num-
Der is carefully recorded. After
several successive days no new
germs having appeared (Which
generally is the case after the
lapse of from fourteen to eigh-
teen days We can safely infer
that the numb,r of the vital
is exhausted, and hence
our experiment ended.
The above cited sample Of
clover, with 943 per cent. Of
pure seed, showed at two differ
ent experiments, each made with
200 grains, respectively 147 and
Isl germinat>d grains, which
represents 73.5 and 1915 per
cent of the purged seed, and re-
spectively 69.3 and 10 Per
cent Of the whole sample, before
we removed tie extraneous mat
ter.
This is the only true and re-
method Of ascertaining the
quality Of seeds for by it not
only the percentage OF admix-
lures is accurately determined,
but also the soundness Of the
seed tested, so that the above
mentioned authorizations can no
be practical without be
ing instantly detected.

Effects Of Alcohol on the
System.

From an interesting address
on this subject by Prof. r. T.
Brown, before a temperance
meeting in the Hall of Repre-
sentatlves, on Friday evening of
last week, we make the follow
ing extract
The primary action of alcohol
is to blunt nervous s%ensibility,
and thus impair the a%cuteness of
feeling. In this manner it per
vades all the sensibilities and
renders a man incapable of judy
ing correctly of his own condi-
ton or Of his relation to his
surroundings. It is, therefore, a
pure narcotic, diminishing nerv-
Gus force and sensibility, ab
abnitio. The exhilaration by
which the effects of alcohol is
introduced, is generally mistaken
for stimulation, that is, increased
vital force but every physiolo-
gist knows that it is the first
step in the elimination of nerve
force, which, if carried out, ends
In utter insensibility. Ether,
chloroform and nitrous oxide
each has its stage of exhilara-
ton, and ends IN utter uncon-
sciousness.
These arrangements, often re-
peated, undermine the vital
force and leave their permanent
impressions in disease and death.
Mentally, alcohol paralyzes the
moral sensibilities and impairs
the powers of nice discrimina-
ton between right and wrong,
ard consequently stills the voice
of conscience. This gives loose
rein to the baser passions, appe-
tites and propensities Of the ami
NAL side Of human nature, and
these run riot in all conceivable
forms of vice and crime. In this
fearful condition the will power
is enfeebled and often entirely
paralyzed. This ruin of the ner-
vous functions often appears as
an hereditary faint in the second
or third generation, in the form
of epilepsy or insanity.

Overhaul the stock Of seeds.
If in doubt as to the vitality Of
any, there is time to test them
by sowing in a pot or box Of
earth III q warm room.

mixed with corn meal, gives

For family use, the orchard
should contain varieties from
the earliest to the latest, the

AN AWKWARD MIsTAKE.-Two
beautiful girls, who are room
mates in a clearinghouse on
the West Side, and who are
noted for their beautiful hair
one a perfect blonde and the
other an extreme brunette
made a horrifying mistake the
other morning. Arising early
and dressing hurriedly in the
dark, both wendell their way
down, and had seated them
selves to breakfast when the fact
stood revealed that the pair had
changed hair, the brunette
sporting a t~wo-colored top-knot,
and the blonde a wig Of jetty
black. Two breakfasts were
scored to the landlady that
morning.

Debate was commenced. when Mr. Lewis,
OF Alabama, made legal argument against
