The Greatest in the World.

without question, Buffalo, N. T., can
boast of the largest and most complete
private Sanitarium in the world. The
Invalids' Hotel was founded by Dr.. r. V.
Pierce, who has represented his district as
State Senator and in Congress, and is known
throughout the United States as the origi-
nator of Dr. Pierce's Family Medicines, and
who has also become widely ce ebrated in
the treatment of chronic diseases. The erec-
tion of tt is mammoth home for invalids was
made necessary by the large number Of
afflicted who focked 10 Buffalo from all
parts of the United States 10 consult DR..
Pierce and the eminent medical gentlemen
associated with him as the faculty Of this
celebrated institution. The establishment
is said to have cost nearly a half million of
dollars, and is furnished with every
appliance and facility for the care of chronic
ailments. A correspondingly large branch
institution is located in London, England.
The whole concern is owned and operate
by the Worlds Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton, OF which the Ori ginal DIR. Pierce IS
President-his brother, al uncle, and other
eminent medical gentlemen taking part in
the treatment OF cases. In treating cases
they are not at all confined to the narrow
limits of prescribing the justly celebrated
remedies. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, Pleasant Purgative Pellets, or any
other set remedies, however good, but have
resort to the whole range of the Naterid

baths, Swedish movements and other ap-
proved remedies and methods OF cure.

Questions About Canning.

In the June number of the Agric~l-
turalist is an article on the canning of
berries, etc, The writer says: "Put
the fruit in hot and seal at once
have been informed that the canning
houses let the steam and hot air escape
before sealing. (1) Will you inform
me if there is any work giving the par
ticrlars concerning the canning OF
meats fruits and vegetables, as prac-
ticed by canning establishments? (2
Will tomatoes put up in glass jars keep
as we'll as in tin cans? My impression
Is that the action of the light through
the glass impairs the tomatoes"
Reply. Q) This question arises
from confounding the two terms can
ming and bottling. We have used these
terms as meaning the same thing, but.
properly, canning should be applied
only to the process of putting up fruit
in tin cans. Our people first became
acquainted with fruit preserved at the
factories IN cans, are afterwards, when
in domestic, operations glass vessels
were useG for fruits, they were still
called can,1ed fruits, though put up in
bottles. When a word gets into com
mc,1. use, 1t is very difficult to change
1t, though its application, as in this
case, may not be precisely accurate.
In factories the fruis is put into the
cans, which have covers sealed on;
these are then heated in a vat of wafer,
or by steam, and the fruit cooked il
the cans. A small hole is then punched
IN the tin-not so much to let out the
steam as to let out the air; this hole is
then closed by drop of solder. When
bottles are used the case is entirely
different; the fruit is first cooked, and
put hot into the bottles with its syrup
If the fruit is filled in carefully, and
the syrup fills all the spaces among
the fruit, and if the bottle is we'll
filled, there is no chance for air and no
= steam to let off.
Y ca We know Of no treatise on the
subject, except the old French ore,
now useless. Factory experience
would be of but little use in the family,
and if one wishes to go into canning as
q business, he could easily obtain a
competent foreman by advertising.
/ We know of no informatinn upon pre-
serving fruits SO full as is contained in
the back volumes of the Agricultural

STANDARD SOAP CUMPANY-GsNTs:
Some two or three months ago, had boy
about two years old that had suffered for a
year with a severe eruption on the head and
face. caused by teething. The child was in
such misery that it would often beawakened
ouG of sleep by the severe itching. He
would then scratch his head and face until
the blood ran from the scabs. We tried
every thing we could find, but nothin e
seemed to give any permanent relief until
we tried PHOSPHATE SOAP Before we
had used one ca e, the child's head and face
were entirely neaied, and there has been no
appearance Of the disease since.

Francis Power Cobbe, the Honorable
Secretary of The Society for Protec-
ton of Aaimals from Vivise ction." of
London, writing OF vivisection in Eng
land, and of the Society's work, says:
"Our experience has convinced nearly
all of us that it is utterly hopeless to
obtain any effectual protection from the
cruel atrocities for helpless creature
once left to the mercies OF physiolo-
gist or his torture trough; and we have
therefore, as Society, adopted the
principle Of demanding the absolute
prohibition of vivisection. We shall
not obtain our object this year, or per-
haps next year, but we are bound to
win at last. Your information concern
ing ths extent to which vivisection is
carried for demonstration in America

Scientific Success.

An American College Of physicians once
offered reward for any authenticatea case
of genuine diabetes which had been entirely
cured. The offer remained open for several
years, and was then withdrawn. Were 1t in
force now, it could instantly be secured by
the proprietors of Warmers Safe Diabetes
Cure, for several remarkable recoveries have
just come to the notice of the writer.
Diabetes is most deceit(ul disease, and
seldom makes itself felt except by its results.
Any readers who suffering from ill
health and do not know the cause should
not delay as it may be at the cost Of life,
which Warmers Safe Diabetes Cure is guar
anteed to save.

Idle Money in England/

According to the Englis& Statist
there is a plethora of mo1Ay in Eng
land. The money put ayay, quite idle,
seeking an investmentis supposed to
be something like II 600 900 900, or
nearly three yesks OF the revenue.
"Old stockings and tea-pots are
gorged, and viii not hold an additional
sovereign. The trouble with those who
have the money, and who want to invest
it safely, is that all the sound securities
have been taken up. and can only be
bought at large advance, and four
percent investments are apparently
unprocurable For the last four years
there has been in England an era OF
retrenchment. If people could not
earn money by curtailing their ex-
penses. they seem to have made both
ends meet, with a trifle over to their
credit. The total accumulations made
up by small amounts is, then. epor-
nous. During this period of saving
your Englishman has been suspicious.
The condition of Europe has not been
comfortable. Even now it is quite
questionable whether continental mat
ters are any more placid in character.
There has been such an outcry about
poor investments made in land that
something has happened in England
which is quite abnormal of its kind.
With increased capital begging an in
vestment. land in certain parts of Eng
land has absolutely lessened in price.
In the southern and eastern counties,
where there are large expanses of good
agricultural land. and no great cities
near them, property can be had, for
ready money, at a reduction of twenty
per cent on normal prices. But mat
ters never can remain as they are.
Capital in some respects resembles
water. Lock up the money or dam the
waters. the result is pretty much the
same, for both in time will break
bounds. An era of speculation does
invariably commence after a period Of
retrenchment. 1t never has been other
wise, and whether In imprudent Eng
land or imprudent America, it is always
sure to happen. Because people have
eaten less. bought fewer clothes or
books, travelled less, gone less frequent
ly to the theater, they have saved
money. But the quota OF bread and
beef, of gloves. coats. and gowns, of
readable volumes, consumed in any
ten years is about the same, increased,
of course, by augmentation of popula-
tioa. The world will have its blow out
after while, and make up in the last
three years of decade for the pinch
ings of the first seven.-N. 7. Times.

The Rise in Prices" in Paris.

Even dresses have advanced in price
within the last few years. Time was
when you could buy charming and
stylish costumes for young girls at 81
and IS each in the spring, and from
SO to SIS for the winter. Such pur-
chases would be impossible now at
these prices. The Bon Marche used to
offer elaborate and well-made dresses

up to order. Now very ordinary
costume in wash-materials costs there
S1S. Silks have advanced in price,
while deteriorating in quality. 1t is
no longer possible, as it once was. to
find fairly good dressmaker who will
make up ones own material for $40
and S12 dress. Board has risen at
the small boarding houses as we'll as at
the large hotels. 1t is not possible
now to obtain even tolerable accom-
mediation under ten francs (S2) day.
Time was when seven or eight francs
was all that was demanded for small
but fairly comfortable room and plain,
wholesome, abundant fare. All that

five francs, and other institutions of the

impossible. And in spite of all the new
houses that are being erected in every
direction, rents have risen fearfully,
and are still rising. A good apparte-
ment with three bedrooms, in central
location. was formerly to be had for
about 5000 year. Now the same style
of dwelling is unattainable under $500
to $4,000.
Meats have risen from three to five
cents on the pound, those being the
Exhibition prices from which there is
no receding. It is impossible now to
buy good-sized chicken under from
1.S0 to.$2. A shad costs nearly, if not
quite, as much in shad season as does
the fowl aforesaid.
So, in view of all these exactioas and
extortions, it is no wonder that the
American colony is growing "small

that its existence will some day become
one of the Partisan traditions Of the
