A Curious Disease.

One OF the most curious and battling
of nervous diseases is aphdstr, which
consists in the loss of power in the sub
ject Of it to recall certain words, and
which in serious cases destroys all power
of expression.
An eminent French Judge who suffered
from it would say to his wife, "Give me
my=dear me. ny-you KNOW and he
would point to his head.
"Your hat?''
30, yes, my hat''
Sometimes, again, he would ring the
bell before going out, and say to his SER
want: ''Give me my um-um- umbrel. y
Your umbrellag''
Yes. my umbrella.
At this time he exhibited no other
symptom of diminished intelligence, but
was in the habit of discussing the most
Intricate points of law. Another invalid
would substitute the word he desired TO
use with a periphrase, rs for instance.
when he wanted to mention his '.aunt, =
be would say, my nearest relative by
The mothers side.
While in the simpler forms of the dis
ease, only few words are lost by the
sufferer. in more complicated eases, his
vocabulary is limited to perhaps not more
than halfa-dozen words. In one instance
the total vocabulary of an aphasic pa
tient consisted of five words-''yes,
mo-" .'three," .salways, > and ''helo. ;"
He answered all inquiries with
one of these. and though when
questioned concerning a number he
would invariably say three; he would
give the accurate number by exhibiting
his fingers.
The greatest sufferers are as unable to
express themselves by writing rs by
speech. They take up the pen eagerly
in their hands and either scrawl a few
unintelligible hierogIyphicS, or write
some word wholly different from the one
they intend
No positive cure for this strange aber-
ration is known, though the patients
sometimes recover, and the most curious
feature of it Is. no general weakening of
the intellect accompanies it. = Yostlh ;

To Take Out Milk and Coffee Stains.


= These stains are very difIicult TO re
move, especially from light-coiored and
finely-tinished goods. From woolerand
mixed fabrics they are taken ont by
moistening them with n mixture of one
part glyeerine, nine parts water and one
half part aqua ammonia. This mixture
is applied to the goods by means of a
brush, and allowed to remain for twelve
hours Occasionally renewing the moist
ening). After this time the stained
pieces are pressed between cloth and
then rubbed with a clean RAG. Drying,
and if possible, little steaming, Is gen
orally sufficient to thoroughly remove the
stains. Stains on silk garments which
are dyed with delicate colors, or finely
finished, are more difficult to remove.
In this case five parts glycerine are
mixed with five parts water and one
quarter part ammonia added. Before
using this mixture it should be tried on
some part of the garment where it can
not be noticed, in order to see if the
mixture will change color. If sueh be
the case no ammonia should be added.
If, on the contrary, no change takes
place, or if. after drying, the original
color is restored. the above mixture is
applied with soft brush. allowing it to
remain on the stains for six or eight
hours, and is then rubbed with clean
cloth. The remaining dry substance is
then carefully taken off by means of a
knife. The injured places are now
brushed over with clean water, pressed
between cloths and dried. If the stain
is not then removed, a rubbing with dry
bread will easily take it of. To restore
the finish thin solution of gum-arabic,
or in many cases beer is preferred. IS
brushed on. then dried and carefully
ironed- BY careful manipulation these
stains will be successfully removed =

Lands are not drained simply to add
to the quantity and qualityof the crops,
or to place your lands in condition to be
TILED by the least possible expenditure OF
time and means. These would indeed
be commendable objects, and miglE well
engage your earnest and constant stten-
ton. But you do more than this; every
farm well drained has gained partial II
not entire immunity from certain DIS
eases, and every farmer who builds him
home, where he may eat and drink and
repose ''under his own vine and tree,
on well drained land, takes thereby an
extended lease of life, and adds security
to the happiness and health of wife and
children. Drainage Journal.

The Occasional Profit of Unselflshnsss,

A striking instance of the occasional
profit of unselfishness has lately come tn
light in the case of Lieutenant Willard
Young a son of the late Mormon Leader
He is a teacher of engineering at West
Point, and when the litigation con-
menced in regard to the distribution Of
his fathers estate, his agents wrote him
to know what they should do in REGARD
to his interests. He replied that he did not
want to take part in any unseemly wran-
gle over the accumulations of his dead
father; that he was able to get his liyino
by his profession, and that they eonl3
send him what the others didn't want
In reply ne received lot of railroad
stock supposed to be nearly worthless
which he accepted without grumblino
The later development of the territorry
has unexpectedly advanced the value of
his stock, so that he is now one of tba
richest of his fathers heirs. 1t is mead
less to say that the selfish brothers and
sisters who supposed that they were max
ing good thing out of his apparent
greenncss and good nature are disposed
kick themselves for their foolishness.

There Hes a lesson OH, my heartf
Beneath the bind-weed spray.
IL saps the vine and dwarfs the foxva.,
So clinging human love hath power
To sap and dwarf away.
To sap the soul OF strength divine,
To blight its fruit, like numbered vine.
Which scarce cluster shows:
To dwarf with narrow selfish claims
HlOn III VI WiQc anu generous aims.
AS bind-weed dwarfs the rose.
And yet. God wot, the love is clean.
And, like the bind-weed. fresh and green
1t springeth in the heart:
lis only when we lack the grace
To train il fairly in its place,
To portion out its part;
'Tis only when we let IL climb
Ger holier heights and more sublime
Than earthly love should go;
'Iis only when we let it creep
4cross the zifts that we should keep
For God, il brings US woe.
For let the bind-weed have it's will,
Nor human toll nor human skill
Can keep the garden fair;
But train the bind-Weed in its place,
And larger blossom, fairer grace.
Win straight repay the care.
So if the garden of the heart
Be overrun In every part
BY love beyond control,
Life worthy labor can not speed,
And flower of thought and fruit of deed
Grow never in the soul.
But train that weak and clinging love,
by sturdy props, TO wave above
Life's work, and give il grace,
NO longer then parasite.
Love clothes with garlands of delight

The history of corn in this country

acres were planted by the James River
settlers. to the present time, when oul
fields amount to $1,000, 900 acres, Weld
ing 800, 600, 600 bushels and upward
annually. The exports of corn, com
pared to the whole crop are small, but a
great deal goes out in the form of meat.
The exports for the seven years, 1876 to
1882, both inclusive. were 624, $50. 52C
bushels of corn, which was l6S, 600, 0o6
bushels more than the combined exports
of the preceding tifty-five years; but the
value for the last seven years was not
proportionately so great, as the average
price was only fifty-six cents, against
seventy-four cents in the longer period.
The total of the six principal grains
raised in 1880 was 2,71S, 1885, bushels

Putting I'M HAy.

Many instances of spontaneous combustion
in the hay.mow have occurred because the
grass, when packed away, was not sufficiently
cured, says the Husbandman. The safe prac-
tice is to let the crop lie as loosely as it can
be left until thoroughly wllted, then rake and
put 1t up In cocks to remain one or two days,
If the weather will permit In this way the
curing is safely effected while the crop is IN
cock, and the risk of heating IN the NOW
averted. Glover, the most difficult of all
summer forage crops to cure, should stand
over three days. A little care in putting up
hay will avert damage from rains if they
should occur. 1t IS just as easy to pile up the
cocks with flat forkfuls as to roll them up,
and If so piled, they shed rain so well that
they may stand during storm of two or
three days without material damage. The
main requirement is that the work shall be
executed from the beginning to the end with
such care rs to save all the nutrlment in the
best condltion.-hural Ne,o Yorker.

ingman has always been better of since than
he ever was before 1t Is a notorious fact that
the wages of English labor have been advanced
since that day, and still continue to advance,
Notwithstanding the free trade policy OF that

1t is a fallacy, therefore, to suppose, that the

It's competing with country where labor is
poorly paid Too many examples show the
contrary. Our power of competing with the
world in these products (Which we eXporD is
one result Of natural advantages in soil and
in labor, for nature has granted great fertility
to the former and great skill to the latter. The
second result Of such natural advantages Is a
liberal remuneration for labor and capital EN-.
ployed in these industries. Because Of this
gift of nature, the product of labor and capital
Is large In proportion to the toll III other
words, wages and profits are high 1t follows,
therefore, that our ability to compete with
Europe and our high rate of wages are not
only not inconsistent, but are coordinate re-
suits of the same common cause-namely, the
great productive power of our industries.
All of which is true and a sufficient answer
to the "pauper-labor" twaddle OF the upholders
of licensed spoliatlOn.
