A FARMER In Williamstown, VT, emptied
the brine from some pork barrels at the foot
of maple tree near his house, some time last
fall. Early In March, with the first run of
sap, this tree was tapped, and some sugar was
made from the sap. The sugar turned out to
be so thoroughly impregnated with salt that
IL could not be eaten. After the first run
there was less Of the salt perceptible, and 1t
soon lost the favor Of salt entirely.

man who cut his finger while opening
can of preserved meat was so poisoned
that he died within twenty days. Query:
Was the meat so very bad or was tie
mans blood in condition to be inflamed

which we take this item speaks of it as
a poisoning from decayed meat" but
how can we be sure of that when cut
inoculated with blood from perfectly
fresh meat has often produced just as

A THRIFTY German farmer in Kansas
wanted second wife. The ladies Of
Kansas were unsatisfactory, SO he sent
to friend in Pittsburgh and asked him
in brief, business-like letter to hunt
him up a wife in the Smoky City. His
friend happened to be acquainted with
q comely German maiden who was anx-
ious to be married, and pressed the suit
of the applicant in that quarter. He
sent a photograph of the lady
to the Kansas man, who wrote
back that he was entirely satisfied with
her appearance and to send her on by
next train. He inclosed fare for her.
The lady boarded the first train, and
arrived in Kansas several weeks ago.
She was met by the cxpectant farmer,
and in few hours they were joined in
wedlock. The sequel of the story is
that a day or two since the Pittsburgh
friend, who was driver for gentle.
man in this city, received letter from
the Kansas man, stating that he was sc
pleased with his wife that he desired
to reward his friend for securing the
prize for him. Inclosed was a deed
for fine tract of land in Kansas, and
the driver has gone out there to settle
down.-Pttsburah (Pd.,) Commercial

The Human Race Running to Brain.

II there is to be so much head work,
what will become of us alp If both
men and women are to develop more
and more their brains, we shall soon be
not far from the realization OF the
words of Diderot, who said: 1--WE walk
SO little, we work so little and we think
so much, that do not despair of man
ending by being nothing but head"
Figure to yourself civilized man 100 or
200 years hence, when manual labor
shall have been entirely replaced by ma
chinery, and when the dreams of Social
lists shall have been realized, and man,
even in the lowest grade of society,
shall be able to gain his, livelihood by
working say three or four hours out Of
the twenty-four. The tendency, you
will observe, is constantly to reduce the
hours of labor. In many parts of Eng
land, for instance, the hours of labor
are little more than half what they were
fifty years ago. Imagine, then, the
movement spoken of by Diderot con-
stantly progressing, and man walking
less and less, owing to the increased fa-
cilities of communication and locomo-
ton, and working less and less, owing
to the constantly increasing use and per-
fection of machinery, and thinking more
out of the ennui of civilization! Imag-
inc woman, thanks to the realization Of
the projects of Mr.. Camille See, and to
the establishment of Girton Colleges all
over the world, imagine woman walk
ing even less than she does now, work
ing less, and thinking more and more!
What shall we come to, great Darwin
Does not the theory of evolution point
to the inevitable realization of Diderot's s
wordsP viii not our legs wither away
and return to the rudimentary stage like
our tailsp Will not our arms and bodies
diminish, and muscles for which there
is no longer any use dry up, and their
elements be absorbed by the brain and
head, which will acquire the phenom-
email proportions of caricaturep-

Longfellow in the Schools.

Prof. Allison is about to introduce, in
the Jackson Schools, the beautiful Gus
tom, for some time in vogue in the public
schools of Cincinnati, of celebrating the
birthday of each of Americas great poets,
by readings from his writings, and by
commemorative exercises.
The custom is an interesting diversion
from the routine of study, and is as en-
tightening as it is beautiful.
The Professor has taken considerable
pains to awaken in the minds of the stu
dents, especially the younger ones, an in
terest in the writings of Longfellow, who
is the subject of the first exercises to be
held in the Jackson Schools. We trust
that the custom may be kept up in our
schools, from year to year-not that a
new generation of rhymers is at all to be
desired, but that the lives and writings of
our great poets, when studied by young
minds, tend to elevate the student, and
lead him or her to aim higher in life than
might otherwise be the case. Who'can say
but what there are now, in the rollicking
boys of the Jackson Schools, some future
Longfellows, Whittiers, and Bryants?

A YOUNG man by the name of William
Kotz, coachman for Mr.. Charles McClel-
Ian, came to my store one morning COM
planning that his feet hurt him very badly,
and expressing fears that they were
frost-bitten. He had in vain tried to get
relief by consulting physicians, and had
endeavored, without success, to ease the
pain by rubbing his feet with
snow and ice, the remedy applied in such
cases. Being exposed great deal to the
cold by his occupation, his feet got worse
daily, until one day he tainted in the
street. A few days after he again came
to my store and showed me his feet. l
have seen great many sores in my life,
but nothing to equal this, and was afraid
the poor fellow would lose his limbs. He
asked me for st. Jacobs Oil; but at first [
refused, as I did not wish to take the re-
sponsibility upon myself, not being a
great admirer of so-called Patent-Medi-
cines. However, some friends, who hap
pened to be in the store at the time, beg
ged me give the st. Jacobs Oil to the suf-
ferer; so we rubbed his feet well with the
Oil and he took the remainder with him.
After nine days the same man again came
into my store, perfectly well, and request
ed me to write to you of this most Won
derful cure; he also stated, that two
other persons had been cured of Rheuma-
tism by the same bottle which helped
her. JOHN LENZEN.
