What 1t Did for an Old Lady.

CosHocToS STATION, n. Y, Dec. IS. 1878.
GESTs-A number Of people had been
using your Bitters here, and with
marked effect. In one case, q lady OF
seventy years. had been sick for years and
for the past two years had not been abe to
be around half the time. About six
months ago she got SO feeble she
was helpless. Her Old remedies, or
physicians, being of no avail, l sent
to Deposit, forty-fve miles, and got a
bottle of Hop Bltters. 1t improved
her SO she was ao,e to dress herself and
walk about the house. When she had
taken the second bottle she was able to
take care of DER own room and walk out
to her %nelghbors, and has improved all
the time since. My wife ana children
have derived great benefit from their use.

SORGHUM SUGAR,

The introduction of q multiplicity of
evaporating pans into the sorghum works,
so that each mans cane, and even each
days cutting can be worked independent
of each other, and the further introduc-
tion of bone black f]tretion, and the
complete separation of sugar and syrup
by the centrifugal system, has suddenly
placed sorghum in the list Of
agricultural industries of the North,
and now wherever 1000 acres
of cane can be secured, the
erection of even $25. 1000 manufactory
would pay farmer and manufacturer
alike. By the above process surgar
made from sorghum is largely sought by
the Chicago refners of southern sugar,
who pay 81 cents per pound for it at the
works. Failure in the past has more
largely resulted from unskilled handling,
and in supposing that various chemicals
must be used to defect it, but in truth,
rapid handling, lime juice and filtering
through bone black is all the secret there
is, and merchantable sugar, not dis
tinguishable from the N. o. article, will
result. We, as a nation, import not far
far from 800, 600, 900 of sugar annually,
and if We can produce this sugar at home
for an actual cost of from Al to cents
per pound and thus save this $100, ,OO0,-
600 to ourselves, we can by this econ
omy afford to let Germany drive out our
hogs, and even suffer slight falling off
in some of our other exports.

RATIONAL BURIAL,

The London World of recent date,
after commenting on the destruction by
fire Of the bodies Of Lady and Mrs. Han
ham, in Dorsetshire, and the failure of
the advocates of cremation to enlist pop
ular opinion in favor of their funeral
methods, advocates the cause as follows:
"For the more one looks into the matter,
the more one wonders why the crema-
tionists have been interfered with by the
feeble arguments as yet used against
them. There are only three ways in
which dead bodies can be disposed Of
either in earth, sea or fire. There are
obvious objections, on the score Of good
taste, to sending our dead to be torn to
bits by fishes. It is also certain that to
our cemeteries and gravey ards with slow
ly decomposing masses of animal matter
leads to the surrounding soil being poi
soned by the products of putrefaction-a
result that cannot be considered healthy
by any stretch of imagination. But
if we burn dead body to ashes we do,
or need do, injury to nobody. There is
nothing unwholesome in the ashes,
which may be preserved with reverent
care as sacred relics; and people who
prefer to burn their dead rather than let
them 'lie in cold obstruction and rot
have both sense and science on their
side. The most bigoted opponents Of
cremation will frankly admit that what
is called 'intramural interment' iu
towns cannot, in the interests of public
bealth, be permitted. But every Al
gument against intramural inter-
ment is one in favor of disposing
of the dead in any way save
that of letting them decompose in the
soil, no matter whether it be urban or
rural. Indeed, we have never heard of
anything like a good argument against
cremation save one. It is that started
by Belgian s. 'csman, who holds that
if We burn & = bodies, We lessen the
chances of detecting cases of poisoning.
But surely it would be possible to de-
wise means whereby, whilst the body
was consumed, the stomach of each
corpse might be preserved for a certain
time after death, lest it might be wanted
for analysis. We do not sh are the ter
ror of those bishops who, like DIR.
Wordsworth, think that cremation may
tamper with the popular belief in the
resurrection of the body; nor can we af-
feet to sympathize with the late home
secretary, who, when cremation was
once bruited in his presence, is said te
have asked, with horror: But ther
what shall. we do for burial certificates?
The world can and has gone on after the
sacrifice of far more important forms
than the burial certificate, which, to Si1
Richard Cross, seems an essential ele
ment in the constitution of society; anc
it ought not to be more difficult to be-
iieve in the resurrection of: body
which shark has eaten and digestec
than of one rednced to ashes in funera
nvre"

THE CLIMATIC VALUE OF FORESTS.

In valuable paper read before an
agricultural meeting at Northampton,
Mass, on the 7tb, Professor G. s. Sar-
gent pointed out the vast losses GO the
country annually by forest fires. The
strongest point in bis paper-on the per-
manent damage done by these fres-is
that they ''destroy not only the growing
wood, but the fertility of the soil itself.
As this is the season for legislation, it is
timely to press on legislators the neces-
sity for revising existing enactments to
better secure the wasted forests from the
wholesale conaagrat1ons to which they
are every year exposed. In a recent
article, Professor Sargent takes the
ground that :"forests do not produce
rain; rain produces the forests, and with
out q certain amount of rain they can.
not exist" Rainfall may not be direct,j
ly produced in large quantities by the
condensation Of atmospheric moisture
caused by the cloud chilling forest; but
the Indirect agency of the timbered land
IN augmentlng the supply of rainfall
which permeates the soil and becomes
agriculturally beneficial is certainly very
considerable. The addition of single
inch of rainfall to the amount which
penetrates the soil instead of running
off is on every acre over twenty-five
thousand five hundred gallons. But
there is another. effect of forests which
is generally overlookeH efen aby scien-
fists in discussing their physical i'm
portance. In historic times marked
climatic changes have occurred in Eu-
rope and America which can be explained
only by the progress Of continental de-
foresting. The able British physicist,
Admiral Smyth, in his work on the physi-
cal geography ofs1thes Mediterranean
basin, clearly shows -thatie great climatic
changes have taken place. The effects
of intense winter cold in Italy, Greece
and Asia Minor recorded by ancient
writer's, be potes, :'hays :peepf in later

First Glimpse Of Holland.
(Geo. H. Boughton, in Harper's Magazine. J

(Geo. H. Boughton, in Harper's Magazine.]
A very large opal or the inside of a
mother-of- pearl shell would make good
background for this thin strip of distant
Holland that lies blinking away in the
early morning light. A long, narrow
ribbon of picture it makes, with its
little dots and spots and splashes of color
here ana there, accidental here and
methodical there, as if part of a pattern.
By carefully looking through a glass
these dots of various shapes and sizes
soon resolve themselves into windmills,
COWS, sheep, Dutchmen, churches and
steeples, and little red.tiled houses with
green or blue shutters. I do not pre-
tend that this is a peculiar or striking
instance Of the first glimple Of a foreign
strand consisting of COWS, windmills, and
steeples-I know of other such places
but I contend that the Dutch sand clip
is cleaner, the COWS are sleeker and fat
ter, the windmills are jaunty and active,
the cottages more spick and span ana
more recently out of a toy box, the
specks of humanity more rotund and
well.to-do. Never, except on some other
strip of Dutch strand, will you see just
such specks as these. And as we draw
nearer the shore, and the bits of color
take more definite form, there is no mis-
take-this is Holland, and no other land
at all.

Hunting in Austria.

Hunting, as practiced by the German
and Austrian nobility, is brutal sport.
Grown Prince Rudolph, OF Austria. in
hunt at Kommessitz, near Prague, with
five associates, this autumn, brought in
q '"stretch {" of 10 bucks, 1884 hares,
36 rabbits, 1856 pheasants, 81 partridges,
4 snipes, and one wild cat, making 1873
pieces. Evidently the royal sportmen
are very good marksmen, or the game was
abundant, or both. But "sport in
German opinion, is very different thing
from what English or Americans call
sport. In the latter countries it is con-
sldered almost disgraceful to shoot a
bird while sitting, or a hare on her form.
But in Germany, when there is big
hunt, the game is driven into Enclosures,
from which there is no escape, and shot
down at leisure. In this way the German
princes the other day slaughtered over
400 head of deer. This occurred in
the celebrated hunting grounds in the
forests of Werbellin, where there are
5000 or 1000 stays, and where, at their
rendezvous, near Castle Hubertusstock,
two subterranean passages have been cut
to bring the brave rilemen, unseen, with
in reach of the game.

ages unknown" In this country it is
doubtful whether we will ever have as
cold winters as that of 1880, when the
Chesapeake Bay "was frozen solid," ac-
cording to Mr.. Jefferson, ''from its head
to the mouth of the Potomac" and
Washington's troops securely crossed on
solid ice from New Jersey to Staten
Island. Making due allowance for his
torical inaccuracies it seems clear that
while the cold spells Of late years have
been as intense as those of 1880 and
1856, their duration has not been so
protracted. Forests, of course, protect
the soil from rapid radiation of its heat
and from the frigorfic downward cur
rents Of the great ''cold waves" But
they must also materially retard the
passage of these t'polar waves" and serve
to detain them longer on the continent
than woiild be the case were the soil
cleared. The removal of the forests by
the spread of civilization and confagra-
tion thus exposes the soil to increased
fluctuations of abnormal cold and heat
and enables the heavy masses of cold air
to- roll ove.. it with greater velocity to
the sea. We may congratulate ourselves
on the latter effect of soil denudation, as
it probly gives us winters of higher
mean temperature than our ancestors
had. But it is not improbable future in
vestigation will demonstrate that while
we thus gain 'smilder winters" the pre-
cipitation of winter and spring is reduced
and the agricultural seasons open with
disastrous droughts. For it is seen that
exceptionally mild winters, like those of
1S77-7S, 1879 and 1881=82, have been
marked by deficiencies of winter rainfall
and by widespread droughts, with forest
fires and army worm invasions in the
succeeding spring months, the aridity
sometimes extending far into summer.
