ASHES FOR APPLE TEEEs.-When ap-
pie or pear trees become diseased, from
being planted in unfavorable or ill-pre-
pared soil, or from lack OF food, they
are very certain to be attacked by insects
which, if they are not in a healthy con-
dition, would probably be unknown.
Certain washes, such as lye, "a solution
of potash) have been applied with SUCCESS
in destroying these insects and restoring
these trees 10 health. But for our own
practice We have for the last two years
applied a much simpler remedy, with
more success, as 1t causes the old dead
bark, the chosen hiding places of insects,
to cleave off, leaving in It's place smooth,
healthy surface This is simply, after a
rain, and while the bark is yet wet, to
throw on some dry wood ashes until the
capacity of retention is full. Ii rain soon
follows, the strength Of the ashes is car
ried into every Granny of the bark, and
the effect is working cleanliness, On the
tree. If there is 10 rain the ashes will
remain and be working their good effects,
and be ready for action when the rain
Comes The operation of sowing on the
the ashes is easily and quickly performed;
so, if the tree is III bad condition, Il is
easily repeated until the insects are all
destroyed, and = new, healthy bark covers
the tree.

THE excavations of Olympia have at
last brought to light the exact spot where
the great altar of Zeus or Jove was stand
ing. Up to this time it had been thought
that the altar had been destroyed by fan
atics, in order to do away with the relig-
ious associations of the place. The sep
ulchre Of Pelops has likewise been found,
together with its arched gate, and the
picture of ancient Olympia can now be
determined with something like mathe-

The Celestial View From Rochester.

The growth of American science,
within the past fifty years, has been so
rapid that We are forced to believe it is
fully equal to the other grand develop
ments of this nation. The numerous
scientific institutions that are springing
up in all parts of the country and the
amount Of money which is being be
slowed upon them proves this, and are
causes for great satisfaction. 1t was
only a few years ago when the United
States was wholly destitute of a respec-
table telescope; now it has the largest
refractor in the world, while its contri-
buttons to the department of discovery
are enumerated by thousands.
American astronomers were the first
to detect the separation of Biella's
comet into two parts and give the facts
to the world. Prof Bond discovered
the eighth satellite of Saturn in 1848.
Prof. Hall, of the Washington observa-
tory, found the ten moons which &C
company Mars. In 1850 Prof. Bond
revealed the fact that Saturn had a
transparent ring.
In addition, however, to these grand
discoveries, American research into the
heavens has resulted in finding more
than a thousand double and triple stars
(many of them the finest orbs in this
class, over fifty asteroids and fifteen
new comets. A record such as this is
something over which every American
can justly be proud.
The new Warner observatory at RO-
chester, N. Y, is great step toward
still farther increasing the record. 1t is
the finest private observatory in the
world, and its telescope is third in size
to any III the country. Being private
institution, works in it will be that of
discovery rather than record, and much
may reasonably be expected from it,
The observatory is named after Mr.. H
II. Warner, proprietor of the Safe Kid
ney and Liver Cure and other RENE
dies, by whom it has been most iber-
ally endowed, and its location is one of
| the pleasantest and most commanding
in Rochester.
1t will be in charge of Prof Swift,
who has become so famous by reason
of his discoveries of comets and two
-mercurial planets, and who will
give his entire time to the work Of the
institution. The lens Of the new tele-
scope is sixteen inches in diameter, and
the tube is twenty-five feet in length.
While the locality Of Rochester is
not we'll adapted to the observations of
the heavens, still the new telescope and
the well known perseverance of Prof.
Swift will do much to overcome the
obstacles, and the public will doubtless
have cause to appreciate, as they have
to expect much from the new Warner

Oh Queen OF the sea- girdled Isle,
Though fabulous, yet thou are fair.
With thy far-away mystical smile
And thy pearl oozing, emerald hair.
Thou art sad-of what sovereign paint
To, the waters reluctantly roam.
To kiss thy white feet with white foam.
Thy isle is the fairest Of isles
Hinged round with the resonant sea:
Thy smile is the sweetest of smiles,
Though the saddest that ever might be:
And though sittest from morning till even
DosJ wait smiling sorrowful sweet,
Some lover from earth or from heaven
To kiss, IS the waves kiss thy feetl
The sea winds that WOO thy soft tresses.
The waters that bask meath thy smile.
DO they thrill the with subtle caresses.
o, Queen Of the sea-girdled Isle!
All, would [ were winds or were waters.
To touch thee, to taste of thy pain.

With kisses that sting and that stain.

Poisoned Atmosphere,

And poisoned water, having lost their purity and
become contaminated with the rank ef1Uvium and
noxious soluble products of decaying vegetation,
breed not only malaria in its various forms, but
give rise to disorders of the stomach, liver and
bowels, always of dangerous character. No an
tidote to malarial poison has yet been discovered
which has so signaIly demonstrated its remedial
value as Hostetters Stomach Bitters which breaks
up the worst paroxyslns of fever and ague and
bilious remittents, and prevents the first attacks,
or recurrence of these and kindred malarial dis
orders. As n stomachic and general tonic, as a
bilious regularity, active secretion, and healthy
habit of body, this preparation is unrivalled.
Throughout those portions of the United States
and in tropical countries where such disorders are
prevalent, it is regarded as a standard anti-ma-
larial sneciic.
