rheumatism.

Common rheumatism is a disease
which affects the joints, the hinges of
the body, in such a way that the slight
est motion of the ailing part gives pain.
A creaking hinge is dry, and turns hard.
A single drop of oil to moisten it makes
a wonderful change, and it instantly
moves on itself with the utmost facil-
ity. All kinds of rheumatism are
an Inflammation of the surface of
the joints. Inflammation is heat; this
heat dries their surfaces; hence the
very slightest effort at motion gives
piercing pain. In a healthy condition of
the parts, nature is constantly throwing
out a lubricating oil which keeps the
joints in perfectly smooth and easy
working condition. Rheumatism is al
most always caused by-indeed, it may
be nearer the truth to say, that it is al
ways the result of, n cold dampness.
A dry cold, or a warm dampness, does
not induce rheumatism. A garment,
wetted by perspiration or rain. or water
in any other form, about a joint, and
allowed to dry while the person is in a
state of rest, is the most common way
of causing rheumatism. A partial wet
ting of garment is more apt to induce
an attack than if the entire clothing
were wetted, because, in the latter case,
it would be certainly and speedily ex-
changed for dry garments. There are
two very certain methods of preventing
rheumatism. The very moment a gar
ment is wetted in whole or in part,
change it, or keep in motion sufficient
to maintain a very slight perspiration,
until the clothing is perfectly dried.
The failure to wear woolen flannel

cause of rheumatism; for n common
muslin or linen or silk shirt of a person
in a perspiration becomes damp and
cold the instant puff of air strikes it,
even in midsummer. This is not the
case where wooden flannel is worn next
the skin. The easiest, most certain,
and least hurtful way of curing this
troublesome affection is, first, to keep
the joint affected wound around with
several folds of wooden flannel; live en-
tirely on the lightest kind of food, such
as coarse breads, ripe fruits, berries,
boiled turnips, stewed apples and the
like. If such things were eaten to the
extent of keeping the system freely
open, and exercise were taken, so that
slight moisture should be on the sur
face of the skin all the time; or if in
bed, the same thing were accomplished
by hot teas and plentiful bed-clothing.
a grateful relief and an ultimate cure
will very certainly result in reasona-
bly, short time. Without this soft and
moist and warm condition of the skin,
and an open state of the system, the
disease will continue to torture for
weeks and months and years. Inflam-
matory rheumatism may, for all practi-
cal purposes, be regarded as an aggra-
waited form of the common kind, ex-
tended to all the joints of the body,
instead of duplicating only one or two.
For all kinds, time, flannel, warmth,
with a light and cooling dict, are the
Health.

they arrived at the palace the lady ran
to embrace Ansaldo, but feigned anger
against Giannettc, though she loved
him excessively; yet the feastings, tilts
and diversions went on as usual, at
which all the lords and ladies assisted.
Giannetto, seeing that his wife did not
receive him with her accustomed good
countenance, called her, and inquiring
the reason, would have saluted her.
She told him she wanted not his caress-
res. Giannetto began to make excuses.
She asked him where was the ring she
had given him.
ut is no more than what 1 expect
ed" cries Giannetto, "and l was in
the right to say you would be angry
with me; but / swear by all that is
sacred, and by your dear self, that l
gave the ring to the lawyer who gained
our cause"
land 1 can swear" says the lady,
with as much solemnity, "that you
gave the ring to n woman, and l know
it certainly; therefore swear no more. "
Giannetto said if what he had told
her was not true, he wished every mis-
fortune to fall upon him that might
destroy him, and that he, said all this
to the lawyer when he asked for the
ring. .......
The lady replied: "You would have
done better to have stayed at Venice
with your mistresses, and have sent
Ansaldo here; for hear they all wept
when you went away"
Giannetto's tears began to fall, and
in great sorrow he assured her that
what she supposed could not possibly be
true. The lady seeing his tears, which
were daggers in her bosom, ran to
embrace him, and in a tit of laughter
showed him the ring, told everything
which he had said to the lawyer, that
she was herself the lawyer, and how
she obtained the ring. Giannetto was
greatly astonished, finding it all true,
and was highly delighted with what he
had heard, and went out of the chamber
and told the story to the mobiles and to
his companions; and this heightened
greatly the love between him and his
lady. He then called the damsel who
had given him the good advice, and
gave her to An saldo for n wife; and
they spent the rest of their lives in
great felicity and contentment.

Mutton the Meat for Farmers.

The cheapest me at for the farmer is
mutton. 1t may safely be said to cost
nothing, as the fleece from sheep of
goodbr will amply pay for its keep
ing. Then. for additional profit, there is
lamb or two, the pelt of the animal if
killed at home, the excellent manure
from its droppings, and the riddance
of the pastures from weeds, to which
sheep are destructive foes. With the
exception of poultry, mutton is also
the most convenient meat for the farm
er. A sheep is easily killed and dressed
by a single hand in an hour, and in the
warmest weather it can be readily dis
posed of before it spoils. Science and
experience both declare it the healthiest
kind of meat. and foolish prejudice
alone prefers pork. which. whether
fresh or salt, is the unhealthiest of all.

A CHARLESTON newspaper notes o
steady decline in the price of strawbcr-
rics In South Carolina since they were
first cultivated for Northern markets.
In 1872, they brought an average price
Of 81 cents quart; in 1873, 33 cents;
in 1874, SO cents; in 1875, 29f cents; in
1876, 21 cents; in 1877, 20 cents; in
1873, eleven and one-fifth cents; in 1879,
IA cents; and this year the average is
estimated at about 124 cents. The de-
cline in price is, of course, easily trace
able to the increase of the crop raised
and to the nominally lower price of all
products due to the return of the cur
rency to a specie basis. Taking the
acreage this year at 225, and the aver
age yield at 1000 quarts 10 the acre,
the yield will be 900,00 quarts, which,
at an average of 121 cents a quart, will
return an income of $4,000

The Marquis de Rays. a French no.
bleman, has formed new colony in one
of the islands known as New Britain,
in Oceanica. The colonists are for tho
most part French, Irish and Belgian,
and will therefore probably agree in
religion. They are on very friendly
terms at present with the aborigines.
Their colony has, according TO the
Journal des Debats, been placed under
the protection of the United States, and
has received the name of Port Breton.
Spaniards and Chinese coolies are now

in great fear, and Giannetto in great

At length the Jew, after much wrang-

ducats and am content"

you not take the money when it was

then to eighty thousand; but the judge

dissenters, while procaiming against the

On Wednesday next. june 2nd, the
Democratic county convention will meet
at Rock Island to select delegates to the
state, congressional aud legislative con-
ventions, and to nominate candidates for
county officers. 1t is important and de-
sirable that there be q full attendance of
the Democracy and to this end it is earn
estly urged upon ali townships to send q
representation. Probably. no presiden-
tial campaign has even been more holly
contested than will be the coming one, and
it is essential that the Democrats present
an uabroken front TO the enemy and be
the better enabled thereby TO secure VIC
tory. The Republicans are divided aud
unless the present breach is healed. it will
be impossible for the leaders OF that party
70 control their forces. On the other
hand feeling of great confidence per-
vades the Democracy and if we
are properly organized We can aud will
achieve success. 10 this the presi-
Dental year-a year which will witness
the most determined struggle We have
ever had, there should be no Tagging. but
only firm determination to aoiss. should

petty jealousies-banish psrsonalisms--

work and be willing to aid the party TO
the extent of his ability. We want good

prestige to the party and impart rigor to

nominee for any Office within the gift OF
the party and no one should hesitate to
accept the responsibility of making the
race for any position rendered. Let there
be rousing turnout on Wednesday next
