the readiness with which it is sold is
a high compliment to the intelligence
of q farming community. Farmers
not only understand an improve

accurately measure its importance, and
soon become expert in the use of
it. II a farmer gets a new imple-

is q misnomer to call our improved
implements "labor-saying machines"
They render labor more productive /; but
labor is as much in demand as before.
Indeed, it is the rule that where farm
tools are clumsy and poor and labor is I'M
productive. there it is but poorly paid
and but little in demand. AS implements
improve, labor becomes more productive,
and being worth more, higher wages are
paid. This rational solution of the labor
and wages problem is wholly misunder-
stood in Europe where the implements
are resisted by the laboring classes.

IT IS asserted by NJ. Emile de Lave
leye that the worlds available supply of
the so-called precious metals is rapidly
diminishing, and, while it may not soon
become exhausted, the time cannot be
far hence when it must become made
quate to meet all demands upon it. It
can hardly be hoped that the lack can
be filed by new discoveries for any ex-
tended period, as the quantities existing
at the earth's surface can at best be but
very limited, although vast masses prob
ably exist in the inaccessible interior of
the globe. 1t is computed that the world
is five times as heavy as an equal vol
ume of water, while the rocks of the
earth's surface only average two and
one-half times the weight Of water. It
follows from this that the still molten
center mnst contain a great amount of
very heavy substances. With water as
a unit, the specific gravity, or compare
tive weight of gold is about 10, plati-
mum 81, and iridium %, silver being but
10 and iron 8. When the globe was in a
liquid state these metals would have had
a tendency to gravitate toward the CEN
ter, and those of exteme density now
found by us owe their appearance near
the surface to volcanic agencies. The
great bulk must yet remain near the
center,

The Discharged Convict.

In places where they have convicts
who serve out their sentences it really is
o puzzle to know what to do with them.
In the crude theory of the law they have
"paid the penalty" of their crime, and
have atoned to society for the injury
done. In the quite as crude theory of
the philanthropist they have reformed,
wholly or partially, and have parted with
the moral twist that made them GRIMM
ais. Under either theory society ought
does nothing of the kind. Nor is society
much to be blamed. The fact that a
man has been found SO dangerous to the
welfare of the community as to require
enforced s~eclusion is not an encouraging
n to those who are seeking honest,
faithful service. Philanthropy some
times says, "give the poor fellow a
chance" though ~self-interest says,
has so often been i'll repaid for giving
chances that self-interest is less inclined
than ever to risk it."
Yet something must be done with the
released prisoner. He must live, and
if he is not permitted to earn his living,
society must support him. There are
cases, no doubt-many of them, We fear
where the discharged convict, hon
estly intending to lead a better life, has
seen prevented by the distrust of society
and the consequent liability to earn an
honest living.
Aconvict was released from Sing Sing
after serving q sentence OF fourteen
years. He left prison with SIS in his
pocket, and when he reached New York
he had 81 left. He sought work at
various quarters, but everywhere the
story of his fourteen years imprison-
ment was against him. Nobody wanted
to employ a discharged convict s. long
as other help could be procured. Fin
ally he went to the Office of the New
York Prison Association and asked for
relief. The agent knew him, and knew
that he was a discharged convict, one OF
the class for the relief of which the
association was organized. He had neg
lected, however, one of the preliminaries.
He had not, while in prison, enrolled his
name as of those who wished to be
helped at the expiration of his term.
He thought then that he would need nc
help, being abled-bodied and having q
good trade. He told the agent this and
told him also that he was starving. He
begged not to be sent away and that he
might be helped to the opportunity to
earn an honest living. But the agent
was powerless. The rule of the associa-
ton was inf xible ; and so he was sent
away. The next day he forged a check
and was arrested while trying to pass it.
He was promptly tried and convicted
and is now back in Sing Sing under
sentence for four years and six months.
1t may be that there is no feasible
method of dealing with such cases /; but
unless it is absolutely certain, no effort
present method is very oosdyse~aneiesy
and quite as unsatisfactory from the
humane as from the pecuniary point OF

Black birch is rapidly coming into

The Unreasonable Hen.

A hen is a most inconsiderate and
u~naccountable creature. Now that she
can lay eggs worth three cents a apiece,
she takes a vacation and refuses to have
anything at all to do with business. By
and-by, when chicken seed are down to
fifteen cents a dozen, she will put on
extra help, and even work nights to flood
the market. The hen is no inancier.-

Dear Sir--About four years ago 1 was taken sick with
what my physician told me was Consumption Of the
Lungs. l had q bad cough, and was reduced very much
in my weight. At different times, 1 had seven physicians
of this place and also one from Bloomsburg attending
me, and althoughthey all thought they could help me,
grew worse very fast under their treatment. / was COM
PEELED to give up all business for over two years, and no
one believed, nor did I myself believe, that 1 should ever
get well. One day I happened to call at Mr.. Auburn
Smiths Drug Store, in this place. and picked up one %
your pamphlets. In reading the certificates of cures,I
found one case SO nearly like my own that I at once con-
sluded to give your Medicines a trial. Ibonght the See
weed Tonic, Pulmonic Syrup and Mandrake Pills, and
began Their use according to the printed directions, and1
can truly say, that from the first saw amarked improve
ment in all my symptoms. This encouraged me to con-
tinue their use until I was entirely well. 1 have had
good health since my recovery, and l believe your medi-
cines saved my life. know Of several other persons in
this city that have been cured by your remedies.
Yours Truly,

Dr.. J. Il. scHExcK, Philadelphia:
Dear sir---In May, 1879, I caught q heavy cold, which
gradually settled on my lungs, causing great di1icuity
and pain in breathing. could not rest at night, being
kept awake by coughing. The loss of sleep and appetite
Mt last reduced me very much---from 100 pounds, my
usual weight when in health, TO l3s pounds. took the
prescriptions of physicians, but they did me no good.
One day, while looking over the Gerefand Herald, I
noticed that your medicines had cured many cases that
were Mt least as bad as mine, and so concluded 10 use
them. They were rather slow in their action at first, but
after 1 had used them for a couple Of weeks, I saw thai
was getting better; my appetite improved, the pain and
difficulty in breathing was relieved, and aner using eight
bottles 1 felt that I was restored to perfect health. I soon
recovered my former weight, and 1 have been quite we'll
ever since. 1 am satisfied that 1 owe my recovery entirely
to your Pulmonc Syrup, seaweed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills. Truly Yours,

PROF. RAoUL PIcTET, of Geneva, is
engaged in working out a problem in
marine architecture, the proper solution
of which he believes will effect a revolu-
ton in ship building. His object of
study has been the construction of a
keel which shall cause the ship to glide
over the water instead of pushing its
way through. The resistance of the
water to the passage of a vessel is in
this way reduced to a minimum. He is
now experimenting with a keel upon this
principle.

Dear sir-Having been asked BY many in regard TO
your medicines, and the benefit had received from them.
1 have concluded to give you an account Of my case. In
the winter Of 1873 1 was pronounced an incurabie Con-
sumptive by every physician in this place, as well ~ sew
eral in Cleveland. 1 had all the symptcms--cough,
night sweats, great debility and loss OF flesh. Twas re-
duced in weight from one hundred and fny pounds 10
eighty pounds. 1 had given up al hope Of recovery,
when 1 was told by Mr.. James Seaman that he had used
your medicines with good effect, and he advised me 10
give them a trial, although l do not think he believed
they would cure me, for was SO sick NJ this time thatn
one thought that I would ever get well. i thought, how
ever, that they might give me te oporary relief, and with
this object I commenced to use your Puimonic Syrup. ]
had not taken it two days before I felt great relief, espec
tally in the severity Of my cough. / then took the Man.
drake Pills and seaweed Tonic, and in two weeksmy
appetite came back, and began to gain strength. Itook
your medicines for about three months. I was too sick TO
do any kind of work for two years. Your medicines made
a perfect cure. and 1 have been in good health ever since.
1 donot know that 1 can say more than this, unless IL be
that 1 believe your medicines to be good, and that they
will do all that you say they will do.
