More Annie Orchards.

A prominent Western New York 'hor- ticulturist, known as Major H. T. Brooks, recently delivered an address, in which he strongly urged upon farmers and stock raisers the necessity of more extensive apple orchards He was in favor of making this most sdccu lent of fruits so plentiful that it could be fed in large quantities to the live stock. English farmers vary the monot, ony of dry fodder with an occasional diet of turnips; but the major insisted that apples are far more healthful, and can be produced with much less cost and trouble The lecturer contended that the use of apples as occasional food fol horses and cattle would save them from constipation, a consequent loss of flesh and premature loss of life. When ap' pies are worth no more than one dollar barrel Major Brooks said that the owners could make no more profitable use of them than in feeding them tc stock. The suggestions are at least worthy the intelligent stock-raiser's re- f1ection.

Wild-EyeI Editors.

There has been in existence in Eng land for many years periodical called the Neao Moon, the contributors of which are inmates of lunatic asylums As a rule the articles display marked ability, and no one would suppose that the writers were suffering from mental alteration. On one occasion the editor of the Ne,O Moon received complaints from several subscribers that the con- tents of the journal, although we'll enough in their way, were lacking in distinctive flavor, and did not betray their origin; so in the next number he gave free play to his refractory con- tributors. There appeared astounding political revelations; paper on evolu. tion, with woodcut illustrations of the shape of the human soul at different ages; the designs of machine to facili. tate bodily ascension into heaven in the manner of Elijah; and the first canto oi an epic which, when not utterly inco herent, was anticipatory of "Alice ir Wonderland" One number of this char acter was sufficient. The discontented subscribers expressed themselves satis fed and begged that they might have no more Bediam broke loose in prose and verse.

Queer Ideas of Curative Oils.

Some people still hold to curious old superstitions concerning the curative properties of the oils of certain ami malls and to hear the druggists tell of the strange things called for by some of tn 9ir customers is to be reminded of the vagaries indulged in by the aborigi- nal medicine man in his native wig wam. For instance, there are persons who pin great faith still to the virtues of rattlesnake oil, and who believe it is a specific for rheumatic afhictions. A travelling quack who announced that his cure-all was partly compounded of rat tlesnake, reaped big harvest of silver coin from crowds on the square not long ago. There is frequent demand for pickerel oil, which is said to be cure for deafness, and which is tried from the ivers of pickerel. Mud-turtle oil is also frequently called for by people who have stiff joints. It has been but two or three years since all of these oils were staple articles in drug stores. Pickerel oil sold for fifty cents an ounce and turtle oil for $1 pint. These oils are rarely found to-day, and probably from this very reason are accredited the more wonderful qualities by tine , oracles.-LeaOistosa (Me.) Journal.

He Did Not Mince Matters.

A representative of the Lynn (Mass Item. in late ramble throughout that city, gathered, among other scraps of interest and information, the following: The first place visited by the reporter was the fruit store of MT J. Levett, No. 67 Market street. in response to rumor that the proprietor had been cured of the rheumatism by the great remedy. MT. Levett not being in, the re- porter had a talk with his son. MT. Levett stated that his father had been cured of an exceedingly bad attack of rheumatism by the St. Jacobs Oil. He had the disease in his right arm and shoulder, which became perfectly helpless after being affected few hours. His pain was so great that he could not rest in comfort or attend to business with any degree of satisfaction. After enduring this sort of thing for some time he pur: chased bottle of the Great German Reme mince matters at all, but just used the Oil for all it was worth. After pursuing this mode of treatment for three days the pain was banished and his father was in a per, fectly healthy condition. He has never since felt any rheumatic pain.

The First Total Abstinence Society.

Correspondent writes to the Scottish American Journal: In your editorial on Temperance and Its Progress" in the Journal, it is stated that the Paisley Gozette maintains that to the Paisley bodies belongs the high honor of in stituting the first total abstinence society in Great Britain, because "there, on January IA, 1882. was founded the Paisley Youths Society for Promoting Temperance on the Principle of Total Abstinence, etc., etc." Allow me to say that that high honor does not belong to Paisley, but to another anu more ancient town lying little further east. It was in Dunfermline that the total abstin. ence movement first had an existence and name, for there, on February 15, 1880, temperance society was insti- tuted, and in September of the same year "The Dunfermline Total Absti- hence Society" was founded by MT. John Davie and other friends of the teetotal cause. In 1880 fifty years had elapsed since the formation of the society, and if no jubilee was held to celebrate the event, I presume it was because this is only ore of many claims to distinction which Dunfermline has among the historical cities of the land.

Nervousness is 6 rapidly growing ailment. is usually imperfect digestion. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, remedy peculiarly effica- cious in cases of nervousness, acts primarily upon the stomach, restoring it's activity, pro- noting the secretion of the gastric juice, over sulting from dyspepsia, and remedying that depletion of muscular substance and strength, and the nervous symptoms which it ultimately produces. With the renewed activity of the digestive functions nerve quietude returns, an acted, mental despondency is supplanted by a feeling of cheerfnlness and the relish for food is augmented. The remedy is safe and unotL jectionable, and may also be relied upon to overcome and prevent fever and ague bilious ness and constipation

The Great Revivals.

 While Mir. Beecher and Dr. Talmage are making special efforts this spring to save the souls of the people, the Great German Remedy IS supplementing the good work by preserving and restoring health. The two influences are widely different, yet strangely alike. It is one
 of those rare occasions where the spiritual and physical meet on common ground, both oper- ating differently, yet each working toward the accomplishment of the same purpose. viz. the happiness of mankind. Thus moralized the reporter after visiting the great Brooklyn re- V1vals and subsequently, interviewing several citizens of New York upon the work of the Great German Remedy. Calling upon MT. John 8. Krem, agent for the New York and Baltimore Transportation line, pier 2, North river, the reporter asked that gentleman if he or any of the employees of the company had been using the St. Jacobs Oil this season. MT. Krem promptly answered that the Great Ger man Remedy was well known by those doing business at the pier. He had used the Oil, and had recommended it to several of the men, and it had never failed to perform all that was needed. He was attacked with lumbago this winter, and, seeing the many good words spoken by the citizens of New York in favor of a trial. It acted like charm, subduing his trouble with almost magic celerity. He had not anticipated such rapid restoration, and confessed that the wonderful action of the great healer surprised him. He had never found such quick relief in all his previous experience, and, since using the Oil, he has never had occa- sion to employ the services of any liniment for the reason that it had radically cured him of all rheumatic pain. The gratifying action of the St. Jacobs Oil in his own case gave him unlimited confidence in it's great curative power, and he freely advised the men in the employ of the company to use it whenever they had occasion to need liniment. It had given relief in several instances to the employees. The most pronounced instance of its power was in the case of commander of one of the company's barges, Captain Samuel Jarrett, who wa severely afflicted with rheumatism, Captain Jarrett had suffered considerably with the rheumatism, and complained that he could not secure relief He was told to try St. Jacobs Oil. The captain applied the Great German Remedy and found relief. He was then in Baltimore in his vessel. Mir. Krem also stated the janitress of the rooms he occu- pied was also healed by St. Jacobs Oil. The woman is subject to rheumatism of 8 severe type. She did not seem to get relief from any of the remedies she was using, so he gave her bottle of the German Remedy. She used it, and afterward said it had relieved her, and she was loud in it's praise. Mir. Krem said that his experience with the St. Jacobs Oil justified him in pronouncing it superb remedy, and he emphatically recommended it's employment by his friends and acquaintances.

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

Next to the diamond the ruby is one of the most remarkable stones for the
 exhibition of phosphorescence under
 electricity.
 A road locomotive for war purposes
 was lately tried in Germany before
 Cotiht Moltke. 1t weighed twenty
 eight and three quarter tons and drew
 easily forty tons weight of gtins mounted
 on their carriages fully equipped. Its
 maximum traction power is 15O tons,
 and it's cost of maintenance is about
 fifty cents an hour.
 The effect of lightning on trees rear
 8 telegraph wire is thus described by a
 French savant. The line under obser-
 vation runs east and west. Of the pop
 lars bordering the road, those on the north side suffered most, those on the
 other side being rarely struck. Eighty
 out of 500 trees were destroyed. The
 instances multiplied with increased el- ovation, and in the plateau at the high
 est point of land, reached the maxi mum. The injury was mostly oppo- site and under the level of the wires. It is supposed that while the wire is strongly electrified by induction, the lightning does not strike it, but strikes the neighboring poplars directly, which, wet with rain, afford an easier passage for the electric fluid to the ground.
 The impression that the northeastern coast of the American continent is slowly rising - the estimate of the rate of emergency in progress being, over 8 foot, and perhaps as much as three feet, in 8 century-has recently been contro- verted by eminent scientific authori- ties, including Dr. Mitchell, of the coast survey, who states that the salt marshes are still, as they were in the time of the early explorers, at ordinary high water level, and that the rocks on our coast, long notorious as dangerous to navigation, have not risen since they were first discovered. But east ward of longitude sixty-four degrees thirteen minutes, and especially in Newfoundland, great changes present themselves. the depth appearing to be at some points less and at other points great CT than formerly.
 The most extensive application of electricity to engineering ever made will be the plan of MT. Maxim, of New York, for the basin around the city of Mexico, to do which 8 company has O0Gu UA0 AalSOA3 oAu oAO contract signed. The plan, in brief, is to establish on the western slope of the mountains, where the fall is great and rapid, number of water wheels sufficient to develop some 10000 horse power, and make them drive dynamo electric machines of high eleetro-mo tive power. The current from these machines is to be conducted about twenty miles to 8 set of electric motors placed on the margin of the lake. and driving pumps, which wilt require about 1000 horse power to work them. The water has to be raised about forty feet to clear the ridge, but once raised it has an uninterrupted all toward the Pacific of several tho sAnd feet, so that the descending water is made to keep up the work. The whole apparatus constitutes what Mir. Maxim calls an " electric siphon." The plan will, it is believed, succeed, and thus relieve Mexico from the inundations that have damaged it so much for several cen. turieS.

The Bazaar. Constantinople.

My guide led me through the dusty passages, heaped on either hand with ancient furniture, carpets, arms, en- broideries, antique china, horse trap pings, old plate, skins, trays, superb old braziers lately fashionable as iardi- nieres, Indian and Turkish naguilleys, Albanian girdles and belts, inlaid work of Tripoli, and gold fretted silks of Aleppo briefly, with all forms and sorts of articles which we are used to term "c1rios." The merchants sat cross-legged among their goods upon 8 faded carpet or a-pald leopard skin pushing Armenians; noisy Jews in European dress or something like it slow Turks sallow, slender, smiling Banniahs waxed-face Persians, neat and trim. My little Greek exchanged word here and there, and upon the information he received we changed our course several times.
 Among the oddities to be observed by thu observant-in this oldest maze is the system of ''passing word along It is kept secret-that is, a stranger does not easily obtain clew to it's mys- teries. But so much came to my knowledge through watching that l gained general idea. My guide would ask somebody at the gates-perhaps an individual stationed for that purpose Where is the Tchirkess, in such and such costume, who has basin for sale?' And forthwith the inquiry is flashed from stall to stall, from corridor to cor ridor. One man saw him in such 8 spot at such a time, and sends back word to that effect; another saw him later elsewhere. And so from point to point the initiated catch hint, and, quickly as they may go, the verbal telegraph goes quicker, so that in few moments the person wanted learns that he is asked for, and turns to meet his pur suer.-AH the Yedr Round.
