Moist Air in Dwellings.

An eminent engineer has recently
preached the theory hat the summer
condition of temperature, So to 6S deg,
and relative humidity, 80 to. S5 deg, are
not desirable or attainable at other sea-
SOM in the heating of dwellings,. His
argument is that the dry air of America
possesses both curative and preventive
qualities of great value, and that moist
air, which promotes vegetable growth,
is, on sanitary grounds, not desirable
for breathing ; then, too, the dew point
is far below the freezing point of water
in wellSwarmed and ventilated rooms,
where there is nothing of that sensation
of dryness which is usually held to &C
company the heat of a furnace, con.
structed and arranged according to the
ordinary plan, when not supplied with
water for evaporation.

Writing for the Public.

There is no work done in the world
which expends vitality so fast as writing
for the public. 1t is a work which is
done. It accompanies a man
upon his walks, goes with him to the
theater, gets into bed with him, and
possesses him in his dreams. IF he
stoops to kiss the baby, before he has

We published several letters lately, which

letters from Burlington, Providence, Spring.

as to seem to be TIE long looked for medicine.
Great good is don by q really first-class article,
as this seems to be, and when it is recognized

I have always been opposed to the use of
patent medicines, as I am of the opinion that
more harm than good is done by their indis-
criminate use. Seeing that several CORES

use it in my practice, by positive evidence of
its virtues, and I have done SO to a considerable
extent for the past two years..
One Of the first cures was that Of Mrs. A.,
who had suffered for years from an obstinate
kidney trouble, complicated with constipation
and uterine difficulty. There was an infama-
tory condition of the organs which caused much
pain and often severe suffering.
had prescribed previously all the remedies
usually employed in such cases but without
benefit. I procured Kidney-Wort for her and
to directions, it relieved the pain and suffering
almost Immediately and gave q favorable turn
to all the symptoms.
Her recovery progressed rapidly, and in a
comparatively short time I was able to pro-
nounce her cured. She has ever since been
much stronger and healthier than for years be-
fore. I could detail . score or more Of other
cases in which I have used it with the same
marked results, If I had time and space.
In the various kidney troubles il has been @

the other agents usually employed.

HIGH FARNNa.-High farming is a
system of tillage and farm management
that is self-s sustaining, q system that
takes nothing but the bare land, the do
mestic animals, the farm implements
and machinery, and c~ultivates the soil,
sustains the family and the animals.
pays the annual taxes, defrays the ex-
penses incident to the improvements
that must be made on the farm, cancels
the. annual interest on the money in
' 'sted in the land, eventually pays for
tn, land, all from the products of the
soil cultivated; and after one, two or
three decades of years, leaves every acre
in a far better state of fertility than the
soil was at the beginning. This is high
farming. There are untold numbers of
quiet, unobtrusive tillers Of the soil in
many Of our States, who have COM
menced precisely as we have indicated,
without one dollar of cash capital, who
have had no revenue whatever besides
the natural of their cultivated
fields, and who have by hard work and
judicious management sustained their
families, paid for their lands, erected all
of their buildings, paid for all their valu-
able improvements, and atthe same time.
have brought their land to that state Of
productiveness by their judicious man
sgement, that every acre yields as much,
if Dot more, than it did originally in q
state of nature. This is high farming.
Yet such q system is often sneered al
simply because the proprietor knew how
to e his money to defray expense Of
improvements. There is no need Of
land becoming impoverished, even when
it bears a crop every year. Proper Gull
tivation with plenty of manur is the
key to high farming Minneapolis
