sons might imagine that it was base
less.
Recent statistics of the medical
colleges of the United States show
that the ratio of doctors to the pop
ulation of the country is as l to
every 600, and, moreover, every
year the proportion grows less.
The proportion in Europe varies in
different countries, but ranges from
/ to every 1900 and l to every
5000, and if the greater portion OF
European doctors are growing rich
we have yet to hear Of it. Now, il
the United States should be divided
into doctors districts it would give
to each M. d. just 600 bodies to care
for. Reference to health sta
tistics shows that out of every 1000
there are apt to be 20 sick persons,
or 2 to every 100 which gives II to
every SOC. Thus each doctor
would have the enormous mum"
Der Of II people to visit
during the course of year. But
at least three out of these twelve
are suffering, either with the ills
that old flesh is heir to, and to
which home doctoring would admin
lister, or that which young flesh is
the sole posseSsor of, and which
the experienced mother usually
physics, or they are of that status
in society which makes doctor bill
an impossible luxury. This brings
the number down to nine, and if the
practitioner is able to get more
than $500 or $500 year out Of
these nine, he is wasting his talents,
and should be a member of the
New York city ring orr democratic
office-holder. If he don't and lives,
he should be shipped to Ireland, for
famine nor hunger can trouble him.
We think we have given enough
figures to fortify our position and
show that our "don't' is good.

Blaine's Appearance.

"Mr. Blaine, with those who
know him, is the most popular of
men. The charm Of his manner is
beyond expression, and nobody
comes within the circle of his pres
ence that is not.overcome with his
fascinations. With his great brill
liancy he has that exquisite show of
Difference to his companions, a sort
of appeal to them to verify or deny
his words that is very taking. He
is also a good listener, and he has a
familiar way of speaking ones
name, and of placing his hand on
ones knee that is an agreeable
salve to ones vanity. There is no
acting in the heartiness of his man
ner. He is an impulsive man, with
very warm heart, kindly instincts
and generous nature" x
"Charming as Mr.. Blaine is in
ordinary social intercourse, it is in
the family circle that he ia at his
best. No man in public life is more
fortunate in his domestic relations.
He is the companion and confdant
of every one Of his six children.
He is of the same age and they fear
him no more than they fear one of
their own number. Mrs. Blaine is
the model wife and mother, and
more is due to her strong judgment,
quick perception and heroic courage
than the world will ever know" 4 4

to say that physically Mr.. Blaine is
the perfect man. You may see him
almost any day striding along the
avenue, going to or coming from the
capitol, with the strength ola giant.

walker who can keep up with him

AS WAS expected, the trial Of the
Gullys for participation in the muir"

the veriest farce. No one thought
for all instant that they would be
found guilty, but it was believed
that at least the mockery of trial
would be gone through with but
even this pretense was not obtain.
able. After pending for several days,
the case was compelled to be post
poned because no jury could be
obtained. Twelve men could not be
found in the whole county who were
not either afraid to serve or kept
from so doing by prejudiced feel
ing for the defendants.
And yet our good democratic
saints lift up their eyes to heaven
and, in wonder>freighte1 accents,
speak of the wiekedness of republi-
cans, because they tell the truth
about southern outrages as they
happen. No one, not even these
goody-goody politicians, can deny
that this was great outrage, and,
moreover, political outrage, and
yet we must not speak out in regard
to this prostitution of justice, unless
we wish to be 'enemies of our Sec
ton" We must not say that this
is disgrace to our common human
ity, unless we would have some
democratic sheet to appeal to our
patrons to withdraw their patron
age from paper that is all the
time throwing mud at the south.

Advice TO Consumptiye.

No man, however uncleanly, would
drink muddy, dirty water. A party
which occupies room for hours,
breathing the same air. might be COM
pared TO party of batbers drinking
the water in which they bathe. The
patient must keep the window of his
bedroom open. Night air is fresh air
without daylight. In close, crowded
rooms, the patient suffering from lung
complaints breathes consumptively.
BY taking these precautions and using
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
and Pleasant Purgative Pellets, fully
one-half of the cases oflung complaints
would be cured in six months. For
cough and irritation of the lungs do
nSt always indicate the presence of
consumption although it may result in
that disease, and If consumption has al.
ready become deeply seated in the sys-
tenn, this is the most efficient course of
treatment that can be pursued outside
Of any institution that provides special
facilities for the treatment of this dis
ease. DIR. Pierce's celebrated invalids'
Hotel Is such an institution. Send
stamp for descriptive pamphlet con-
tanning also q complete treatise upon
consumption, explaining Its causes,
nature, and the best methods Of diet,
clothing, exercise, etc., for consump-
lives. Address Worlds Dispensary

A Western Samson.

The far West is ever teeming with
prodigies of one kind or another. Its
iatCs. acquisition is what ii claims TO be
the strongest man in the world who Is
an Italian, Angelo Cardela, aged thirty
FIVE. He lives at Reno, New, is five
feet ten inches high, weigh l9O pounds,
is day laborer, of temperate habits,
has broad, heavy, good natured face,
an extraordinary development OF chest,
aud la-ge. fleshy hands. When strip
ped, his most remarkable feature is his
spinal column, which seems double,
and is twice the usual width, while all
his bones and joints are very large. He
can lift, and has repeatedly lifted, with
one finger, the third on his right hand,
men weighing from I'D to 200 pounds,
ly placing his finger under the hollow
Of one of their feet, and 50 carry them
around a room. lie can strike blow
with his fist with power of five hun
dred pounds, as measured on register.
Like most very muscular men, he is
amiable of disposition, quiet in manner
and particularly fond of peace. De-
ceived by appearances, two big Irish
men fell upon him lately, because he
was blank foreigner. Irishmen seem
to think that they alone have right to
immigrate to America, and that they
are privileged to beat anybody else who
had the temerity TO follow their
example. In this case the beating was
on the other side. Cardela grasped one
of the Milesians i'll each hand, and
knocked them together until they were
insensible aud half dead. His strength
is inherited-his father was as strong
as he-for he has done nothing more
than his ordinary work to develop it.
lie dislikes to exhibit his power, and
never does except when urged. II Is a
pity that so much good material should
be wasted. lie ought TO be sent to San
Francisco for the benefit of the Hood
lums, who would be much benefited by
attacking him.

PRoPAGAIING ROSES In the first
place II is necessary TO have 4 sandbed, d,
which is usually made In that corner OF
the greenhouse immediately above the
heating apparatus, in order that the
cuttings may be supplied with bottom
heat. The sand Is carefully sifted and
piled on the cutting bench until it l.
about three inches deep. 1t must at all
lines be kept moist. Indeed some flor
ISIS say to keep the sand soaked with
water. Now we are ready for the cut
tings. These are to be taken when the
wood has rirened sufficiently 10 show
the bud in the axle of the leaf. Ii is
unnecessary TO make the cutting at the
joint; it is usually done just above the
bud OF the preceding cutting. To
make it more PLAIN. the cutting will
look something like tnis-a piece about
an inch or two long to put into
the sand, and one bud which should
be just above the surface of the cutting
bench. This is all the art of prepar-
Ing the slips, but somehow or other
amateurs are rarely successful. One
must expect 10 make hundreds of fall
ures before they manage to root the
first lose. The cuttings will need
shade for a few DAYS TO induce root
growth. After a while the ground
made in preparing the cutting will heal
over, or callous, as the florists say, and
then the roots will speedily form. Ii
is as well TO leave the young plants in
IL Q sand-bed until they are well roc.ed
and then pot them off. The monthly,
or ever blooming roses, root easiest.
Next TO them come the hybrid perpet-
uals, and the moss roses are the most
difficult.

The Snow-Breaker.

The loose snow drifts deeply between
Truckee and Sierraville, Nevada The
mail is carried tri-weekly, hence the road
has TO be travelled one way each day. Dur
ing the heavy winter weather the sleigh
which carries the mail is drawn by three
hores, driven tandem. BY this means a
single broad path is beaten in the middle OF
the road. When the storms are raging it
is necessary to carry the mail on horseback.
Its average weight is from 100 to $50 pounds
each trip. The mail-bags are strapped on
two horses, which are led by the driver,
Sol Rousseau, who rides third horses A
fourth horse, with only halter on, is turn
ed loose to break the road. This horse is
kept for this sole purpose, and is called the
''snow- breaker" For six winters this ami
NAL has travelled the Sierra valley road.
Turned loose at either Truckee or Sierra
vile, he will at once set out upon his dreary
journey. The winds obliterate all traces of
the narrow path, but with marvellous instinct
the horse follows its every turn and wind
ing. Sometimes the huge drifts bewilder
him for moment. and missing the hard
beaten path he sinks out of sight in the
loose show. Out Of sight is used quite
literally, for it frequently occurs that his
body is completely covered, and his head
alone is above the surface. II he knows on
which side the trail lies, he will plunge and
struggle to regain his foothold- If, as
sometimes occuss, he is confused as to the
proper direction he possesses the wonderful
instinct of keeping perfectly quiet until the
driver dismOunts from his horse and comes
forward to point out the road. By means
of long stick the driver finds the trail, and
beating a path for few feet in front Of the
discomfited snow breaker, speaks an en-
couraging word to the poor animal. Every
nerve and muscle is Immediately strained
to regain the lost path, and the horse again
resumes his task of guide. The snow
breaker seems to possess almost human in
telligence Neither darkness storms ever
seem to daunt him or cause him to mislead
more than a few feet. When in doubt he
will take little short steps, scarcely six
inches in length, and each foot feels for the
hard-beaten edge which forms the path.

AGRICULTURE.

RAIsING POTATOES UNDEE STRAW
Occasionally some farmer has great sue
cess in producing potatoes by dropping
the seed on green sward and covering
it with refuse straw, eld hay, or other
sorts OF litter. When this is the case
he generally informs the public OF his
method of cultivating potatoes and for
a time IL becomes fashionable. Farm
ers who are not successful in this meth
cd of raising potatoes do not say any
thing about it, and as consequence
the public are in ignorance in relation
to the ratio that exists between failures
and successes. 1t is obvious that rails
ing potatoes under straw or other litter
can never become general for the rea-
son that sufficient material can not
ordinarily be obtained for covering the
seed. Still most farmers can raise a
small patch IN this way 10 excellent
advantage. The best results are OBJ
tainei by cutting the potatoes in pieces
of suitable size, dropping them on sod
after the grass is few inches high and
covering them to the thickness of six
inches with refuse hay, straw, or ma
nure, ashes, and fine soil Is an advan-
tage. The rain will carry them down
to the roots of the potatoes. Ii Is not
necessary TO drop the potatoes in rows.
The pieces may bc3placel within foot
of each other, as no cultivation is re-
quired. A little earth thrown over the
straw covering will Keep 1t in place
and preserve the moisture in II. AL
most all the labor required to raise po-
tatoes in this way consists in handling
the material employed in covering the
seed. The turf soon decays and affords
sustenance for the growing potatoes.
The potatoes are very easily harvested
in the fall and come out OF the straw
almost as clean as if they had been
washed. Another object may be ac-
complished by planting potatoes Oh top
of the ground. \ harsh, tocgh sod
NAV be subdued and brought into 4 con-
dition to produce COED crops another
year. A valuable modification of plan
of covering seed potatoes with straw
consists in opening a furrow with n
plow, throwing in old hay, straw, for
est leaves, or sawdust, then dropping
the potatoes. and finally covering them
with earth. The materials thrown In
the furrow are favorable TO the forma-
ton and growth of the bulbs. When
mature they are quite clean, and may
be dug without bruises or cuts. 4
mulch is of great advantage in raising
potatoes. Ii helps retain moisture and
preTents the young aud growing tubers
from becoming too warm during the
hot weather in July and August. a
moderately cool temperature and moist
ure are es ential TO the production of
good potatoes.

a WAY or DETECTING IMPURE WELL
WATER.-Prof. baltimore lays special
stress on the significance of the pres
ence of common salt in well-water in
general. No single indication, he
nolds, is of great sanitary Importance
in judging OF the purity or the impur-
ity, and consequently of the safety or
danger, of any water. He proceeds
ihen to show that though. from the uni
versal diffusion of this substance in the
air and in the soil, we should expect
10 find it in all waters, whether from
rain, springs or wells, because of its
extreme solubility, nevertheless, he
argues the quantity of salt that should
be found normally from the causes
named IN well-water Is extremely
small, and therefore, whenever ''it
rises above very few grains per gal
lon, 1t becomes certain that Ii comes
from some other source than the soil :"
and he concludes with the logical in
ference that, as nearly all the salt used
for domestic purposes escapes by the
way of two channels, the water-closet
and the house drain, we should there
fore expect, "what is always found on
examination to be true, that, whatever
sewage may or may not csntain, it al
ways contains SALT"

UT-WORNs.-When cut-worms are
troublesome in the field, a very old and
az the slme time very good remedy Il to
entrap them in holes made near the
plants, or hills, if in the cornfleld. An
old rake handle tapered at the end so
as TO make a smooth hole five or six
inches deep, or more, will answer very
well for this purpose. In the morning
the worms that have taken refuge in
these holes may be crushed by thrust
ing the rake handle into them again,
ard e trap" is set for the next night.
Ii is always well in planting to make
provision Tor the loss of stalk or two
by cut-worms or other causes, as it is
easier 10 thin out than to replant.

TIL. Locomotive electric light recent

The locomotive electric light, recent
ly introduced in England, for railway
use, is said to operate satisfactorily. 1t
consists OF light tsix-horse-power four
wheel locomotive, with dynamo-elec-
trio machine attached. and any electric
light can used. When the engine is
moving along the line, the electric ma
chine rotates at its proper speed, and
when it is necessary to stop, in order
that the light may be directed on some
particular spot, the driving wheels are
thrown out of gear by means of the
disengaging hanile attached to the
pinion on the orInk shaft, and the ma
chi-e ceases to be locomotive, while the
engine continues to move the dynamo
machine at its proper velocity. The
engine is furnished with sensitive gov
ernors, so that the speed of the edynamo
machine may be accurately regulated,
this being very important I'm order to
insure a bright and continuous light.
