issue referred among others, to the following
cases Of special interest They are their own
commentary. Mr.. Samuel C. Nyce, resides at
sos Marshall street, and holds the responsible
position Of journal clerk in the Pennsylvania
Legislature, at Harrisburg While Mr.. Nyce
and family were in the country recently, his
boy, aged three years, fell and broke his leg.
He recovered, but very troublesome stiffness
set in and he could scarcely use the leg. The
injured limb was rubbed several times with
St. Jacobs Oil, and the Stiffness was 20 much
reduced that the boy was able to use his leg
freely. DR.. Knipe said it was the use Of St.
Jacobs Oil that cured the stiffness Mr.. Nyce
himself used the Great German Remedy for
toothache with good effect, and also for q
sprain and pains Of rheumatic nature, and al
ways with good effect. Mrs. Nycc also says
she thinks the Oil is splendid thing, and abe
always keeps it on hand.

Sheep for Hard Times.

The past season, characterized by clim-
attic extremes, followed as it must neces-
sarily be by winter in which feeder S
resources will be heavily taxed to avoid
sacrifice of portion of his live stock,
win serve to give prominence to the
claims of the sheep to formost place in
the farm economy. Subsisting through
much of the past season on a meagre
supply of grass and water, it is now
ready to combat such vicissitudes as may
be in store for ii with less detriment than
will result to any of its farm-yard COM
panions that may be subjected to like
treatment. Such tests of endurance are
by no means desirable in the case of the
sheep-are far from those conditions by
which it should be surrounded where the
best results are hoped for, but the fact
that IL will. successfully Withstand them
is lust SO much to be credited to its favor
By the rule that penny saved is a
penny earned does the sheepnot make
money for its owner. under circum.
stances wherein other animals would
bankfnpt him. Thus it is that the farmer
who can enumerate among his live stock
a fair proportion of sheep. win be en-
abled to partially recoup himself against
the loss to which he is inevitably sub
jected in many localities. II those less
fortunately circumstanced win take the
lesson home to themselves, and apply its
teachings to their future policy, much
good that is not now apparent to them
may be brought out OF their present ad.

Sun Disturbances.

Once in about eleven years the sun
takes on his present sun-pot phase, and
we are approaching the maximum Of
disturbances. No one knows the cause.
Some believe that it is planetary attrac-
ton. some that it is the fall of great
masses of meteoric matter and some that
tits the result of internal commotion and
the upward rush of gaseous explosions.
in comparison with which our fiercest
volcanic eruptions are but the flicker OF
fame. Besides the sun-spot agitation
the gaseous outbursts are marked and
vivid. The tongues or rosy protuber-
ances are darling forth in all directions
and bear their testimony to the solar
conimotion. Mr.. Trouvelot, of Cam
bridge, who is making daily obserya-
tons of the suns chromosphere,
gives description of remarka-
bic solar protuberance that he witnessed
lately. When first seen it was large and
complicated, extending upward from the
sun about 100, 900 miles, Three or four
hours later it had developed into huge
proportions, extending far out into
space, and vanishing gradually into re-
gions where it would not be perceived
As nearly as it could be measured. it
reached height of over a quarter Of the
suns diameter, or about 235, 600 miles.
Such protuberance hurled upward
from the earth would almost reach the
moon. Two hours later the whole struc-
ture had collapsed, and was only about
$4,000 miles high. Observations ike
this give an idea of the mighty forces at
work in the solar orb and nake oh
servers long for the time when salts
factory solution may be found for these
periodical solar disturbances, so init
mately connected with the meteorc-
logical condition of the earth.
