MALARIA
Malaria is an almost in
describable malady which
not even the most talented
physicians are able to faith
ON. Its cause is most fre-
quently ascribed to local
surroundings, and there is
very little question, but this
opinion is substantiated by
facts. Malaria does not nee
essariIy mean chills and
f.ver while these troubles
usually accompany it. 1t
often affects the sufererwith
general lassitude, accom-
panied by loss of appetite,
sleeplessness, a tired feeling
and a high fever, the per-
son afflicted growing weak
or and weaker, loses flesh
day after day, until he be-
comes a mere skeleton, a
shadow Of his former self.
Malaria once having laid itS
hold upon the human franc, the
door of the system is thrownopen
TO nervous diseases. The body
weak and enfeebled absoSbs no
nourishment, but subsisting upon
ITSELF the digestive organs no
longer perform their functions;
the liver becomes torpid, and other
organs failing to do their routine
work speedily become disordered,
and dissolution and death are apt
to ensue.

II.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The session was opened by singing by
the choir.
J. NJ. Harrison. Of Scio, delivered an
address on the important topic, The
Advantages of Tile Draining" The es
say wasian exceedingly able one, and
showed great deal of practical knowl-
edge on the subject. We print it entire
on the fourth page of this weeks paper
"The DemOralizing Features of Our
Agricultural Fairs" was the topic as
signed to w. n. Cowden, of the State
Board of Agriculture, and w. B. Law,
Esq, bu. neither of these gentlemen be
ing present, H. S. McFadden. of Cadiz
delivered an address on the topic in his
usual happy, serio-comic style, which
kept the audience laughing part of the
time, and at other times impressed with
the serious phases of the subject.
On the discussion Of the foregoing top
ic, r. S. Clark, President of the Insti-
tute, said that we should endeavor to
drive out of our fairs those things which
are demoralizing. He was not opposed
TO the race course, as he had noticed il
was the general point of interest when
races we're going on. The demoralizing
feature of the race course was the
unfairness, the selling of race by the
owner of fast horse, and allowing a
slower horse to win the race, for the
purpose of winning money on bets. II
this could not be stopped. we had better
break up the race course, and if the fail
could not be maintained without it, ther
to change the fair into farmers insti-
tutes. He spoke Of the demoralizine
features of snap shows. and other pick
pocket affairs, &c. These should be ex
cluded.
| The following resolution was read by
John Patton, and was unanimously
adopted by the Institute:

BAD EFFECT OF JAIIS.

AS iails are now managed they are
simply hotbeds of vice for the inmates,
and youth detained in one of these
places for week, however innocent of
crime he may have been on entering, is
morally certain to bring away famil-
iar7ty with criminal ideas and methods
which cannot fail to make him a worse
citizen than he would otherwise have
been. Young and old meet together in
the Jail corridors and exchange their
most sensational experiences, which are
sure to be their most demoralizing ones,
and the only emulation excited there is
that to excel in vice. The jail system of
the whole country needs thorough rem
ovation, and any "board" or "confer-
ence" which tends to such result de-
serves the good wishes of all honest
citizens. -A5laOoukee Sentinel.

EDWARD EVERETT,

The late DR.. Chaplin was once asked
what he lectured for. "Fame," he re-
piled, $3.50 and my expenses" Those
were in the days when lectures were be-
coming popular. Since then Mr.. Beech
er and Mr.. Cough have been paid from
5000 to $500 for single lecture. A cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Gazette,
gossiping about the pecuniary success
of Edward Everett's lectures, says:
Everett was hardly lecturer in the
ordinary sense Of the term. and yet his
address on the character of Washington
delivered in behalf of the Mount Ver-
non Association, was of this nature.
The amount cleared by the deliveries
of this address averaged $400 for each
occasion. and it was repeated one hun
dred and thirty times. In fact, Ever
ett's oratory has done more for charity
than that of any other speaker on rec
ord.
Including the Mount Vernon effort,
the aggregate is nearly 800, 900. I may
add, as special feature, that his ad-
dress on the early days of Franklin,
which was repeated five times, yielded
$4,000 for charitable objects.
Another address which was repeated
fifteen times brought $13, 500 for similar
purposes. The eulogy on Thomas
Dowse, delivered twice in behalf of
two institutions, brought 81, 800.
Everett was the most accomplished
man of his age, being at home in states
manship, literature, oratory and the
highest walks Of learning.
His versatility was such that it de-
served the expression which johnson
applied to Goldsmith, that there was
nothing in literature that he did not
touch, and nothing that he touched that
he did not adorn.
Everett's memory was something real
ly wonderful. As a preacher he fire.
quently memorized the hymns to be
used OF Sabbath, because it aided in
reading them to the congregation.
He committed to memory almost
everything that came under his atten-
ton for many years in other words,
what entered the eye was fixed on the
brain.
To this is to be added rare personal
beauty, statuesque dignity and charm
ing power of oratory. How surprising
that this admirable concentration of
gifts never inflated their possessor, who
was through life SO marked by SIMPLE
it5 of character.

SLEEP FOR CHILDREN.

There is no danger that children can
sleep too much. The old proverb
"Who sleeps, eats" is illustrated in
those little ones who sleep most. Wake
full children are always peevish, irritable
and lean. If they can be induced to
sleep abundantly they are quite likely
to become good-natured and plump.
Their sleep should be as much during
the hours of darkness as possible, and
therefore it is better that they should go
to bed before sunset to have their
sleep out, than to sleep long after
sunrise in the morning. 1t is well to
let any healthful, growing child or
young person sleep until he wakes him
self, and then give him such a variety
and amount of outdoor exercise as shall
make him glad when bedtime returns.

BY THE SASKATCHEWAN.

The extensive region known as the
third prairie steppe, except on it's
northern border along the banks of the
North Saskatchewan, which forms a
prolongation of the fertile belt, and on
its still more fertile western border
along the base of the Rocky mountains,
will probably be found unsuited for
agriculture, though much of it is ad-
mirably adapted for grazing purposes.
An ocean plain of ripe hay, dotted here
and there with patches Of golden wheat,
marking the spots of greater moisture,
and absolutely unbroken by hill, or
rock, or tree, or bush, may convey some
idea Of the general coloring. 1t is
warm, yellowish gray, with slight
tinge of green, what is seen being the
ripe heads of the tall grasses which con-
ceal the often marvelously rich green
verdure below This illimitable hay
field is everywhere pitted by bufalO
wallows, scanned by furrow-ike and par
allel buffalo trails, sprinkled with their
chips OF droppings and whitened with
their bones. You can never go far with
out seeing the horned skull of this once
famous dweller Of the prairie bleaching
in the SUM- The walIows are saucer
Like depressions in the ground, made by
the bufalos rubbing themselves; and
SO densely was this prairie filed with
their innumerable herds that in many
places you Sill find the wallows every
few yards. The narrow trails beaten
by their hoofs as they followed each
other in line of march from one feeding
ground to another are also of very fre-
quent occurrence, as one painfully learns
from the rough iolting they cause.

A CHEAP APPLE ORCHARD. many
places in the West crab-apple trees
abound. They often grow along the
sides of streams and ravines, and are
sometimes found on the sides of forests.
Some of them are of large size and pro-
duce considerable fruit. It is of little
value, however, for either human or cat
tle food. Experiments made in grating
these trees with scions from other kinds
of apple trees have not been successful.
In some cases good union cannot be
formed between the scion and
the limb, and in other cases the graft
becomes Of too large size to be sup
ported by the limb. When this is the
case the branch breaks off when there is
a violent wind or when it contains a con-
siderable amount of fruit. Experiments
made with gratis of the Bethlemite apple
have been very successful In this vicini-
ty. A strong union is made, and, though
the grated portion outgrows the parent
stalk, there is no danger of its breaking
off by the force of the wind or by the
weight of fruit. When trees are grated
there should be considerable open space
about them, or the branches will be
small and produce little fruit. Each
tree should have nearly as much room
as it would be allowed if growing in an
orchard. It is hard to graft crab-apple
trees, but if scions of Bethler1ite apples
are inserted they will pay well for the
trouble. They will grow quickly and
come into bearing early. The fruit is
medium size, fiat, smooth, aromatic in
flavor, and sub-acid. It is good in its
season for the table or for cooking. The
apples can be kept till spring and are in
their prime from December to February
AS they are unfit to eat in the fall there
is little danger of their being stolen if
raised little distance from the house.

however, at the Iron Gate, 800 yards
within the cave, they found Jack just
outside, and Brigham behind the bars,
and there the dogs stood, wagging their
tails, and occasionally exchanging the
news
Our curiosity led us to examine Brig
hams tracks, to see by what route he
had found his way back. Beginning at
the Echo river, we had no difficulty in
seeing that he had, step by step, followed
our trail his only guide, of course, be-
ing the sense of smell. Here, his tracks
were deeply printed in soft mud, and
there, more sharply defined on the mel
low banks of nitrous earth, less distinct
ly along ridges of sand, or over heaps
Of stone. or up steep stair-wayE.
Thus Brigham had followed us,
through darkness deeper than that of
midnight, along the narrow beach Of
Lake Lethe, across the treacherous nat
ural bridge spanning the River Styx, up
to the galleries overhanging the Dead
Sea, through the wild confusion of
Bandits Hall, and by many spot where
one misstep would have sent the poor,
lonely creature plunging downward in
darkness to inevitable death
It will be remembered that we had
gone in past the Giants Coffin, by the
arched way among the deep pits, and
through the mazes leading to River Hall.
But we had come out by newly-dis-
covered mode of exit, through an intri-
cate set of assures, known, on account
of its winding nature, as "The Cork
screw" We preferred this because it
aved a mile and half of travel. Our
four-footed friend, pursuing the fresh
est scent, went, of course, up the Cork
screw. The opening is too irregular to
be called pit or shaft. Yet it winds
upward for distance, vertically, of
about $50 feet, but fully 500 feet as one
climbs, creeping through crevices,
twisting through "auger holes" and
scaling precipitous rocks scattered in
the widest confusion imaginable. Three
ladders have to be mounted in threading
this passage. One emerges, at last, on
the edge of cliff overlooking the main
cave, and down which he chambers to
the level floor, where the road runs
smoothly along to the Iron Gate, quar-
ter of a mile distant.
Only think of it Through all this
intricate and hazardous pass, where,
without guide, we should have found
it difficult to make our way, even with
lamps and map of the cave, that vel
low dog had safely gone alone He
offered no explanation Of his proceed
ings, nor told us what motive prompted
his Independent explorations. But that
was his affair, not ours. We honored
him as a hero, and obtained for him,
from the manager, Mr.. Francis Klett,
the freedom of the cave for the rest of
his life.-H. G. Hovey, in ST. Nicholas.
