The Liver FIuke.

One of the most destructive, and
therefore the most dreaded diseases of
sheep is the liver rot, produced, as is
thought, by the insect known as the
liver fluke. In 1880, it is said, 2,000,-
900 sheep died in England with the rot;
and thousands die with it in our own
country yearly; and in many instances
the shepherd or the farmer has no idea
what allied his sheep.
One unfailing syptom that accompa-
MES the disease is the change in the col
or of the membrane which covers the
eyeball in front and lines the eyelid.
When the sheep are well this is brilliant
red, but when attacked by the rot it be-
comes a pale yellowish color, as does also
the eyeball itself. If this change is
noted in connection with a general las
situde and ailing of the sheep, it may be
safely said to have the liver rot. There
are other symptoms, also, but many OF
them are common to other diseases OF
sheep. The wool becomes dry and
harsh and falls off, dropsy appears, and
often watery swelling appears below
the lower jaw. The spine is arehed, ap-
petite is lost and thirst is much increased.
In time the sheep becomes completely
emaciated and dies a wretched death.
If it be opened it will be found to be al
together rotten within; the liver will be
full of ulcers and yellowish fluid viii
follow the knife everywhere.
The f1uke belongs to the order IreD1O-
tada, or suctoriaI worm, and inhabits
the gall-bladder or ducts or the liver il
sheep. The color IS usually like that Of
the organ in which it lives. 1t is very
low form of insect existence, multiplies
from eggs, or spores, and is fiat, oval
shaped when full grown. It passes
through several stages of existence, and
the spores or eggs need to be washed
with stagnant water before they can full
" develop. How it gets into the sheep:
vitals is a question that there is differ
ence of opinion upon; but it is general
" thought by those who have made Ia,
insect a study that it attaches itself o.

A Hundred a Minute.

On Friday evening of every week the
5000 employees of the Baldwin locomO-
tive works receive their wages. In thir-
ty minutes after the paymaster begins
the work every man has his cash. The
system of keeping the time and paying
this vast number of Workmen is quite
simple. When a man goes to work he
receives no pay until the second week.
This permits of five days in which to
calculate the wages of each man and
place the money in envelopes. In each
department there is a time-keeper, who
makes 4 return every day to the pay
master. The counting and arranging
of the immense amount of money re-
quired to pay the large force is accom-
plished by the paymaster and an assist
ant On the books of the company,
opposite the name OF every employee, is
number by which he is known. The
figures range from 1 to 5000. On Fri
day evening the men form in line in the
order of their number The paymaster
and his assistant take their places at
the head of the column. Number 1,
,, ), 4, says the assistant as the men
step up in lively manner to receive the
envelopes containing weeks wages.
He rapidly calls the numbers, soon run
ming into hundreds, then into thousands
and at the end of half an hour the vast
crowd of workmen has disappeared,
and the paymaster's labOrs are DONE

Ths, Congressional Library Building Pre-

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec HA
Senator Voorhees, to-day again iAtFo>
duced his bill for constructing Congress
sional Library building. This covers the
purchase of site of some valuable prop
erty situated on the east front of the Capt..
toll, and now owned by parties who have
had influence enough so far to prevent the
erection Of library building elsewhere
although the Government owns several
eligible sites. Half million is asked for
the purchase of site, and another halt 8
million TO begin the construction of the
building, but the estimates as first sub
mitted contemplated the expenditure OF

For burns and scaIds nothing is
more soothing than the white of an
egg, which may be poured over the
wound. 1t is softer as varnish for
a burn than colIodion, and being al
ways at hand can be applied imme-
d atelv. 1t is also more cooling than
sweet oil and cotton, which WAS for
merIy supposed to be the surest ap-
pIication to alIay the smarting pain.
1t is the contact with the air which
gives the extreme discomfort exper-
enced from the ordinsry accident of
this kind, and anything that excludes
the air and prevents Inflammation is the
thing to ne at once applied.
The egg Is considered one of l"e best
of remedies for dyseUtery. Beaten
up slightly, with or without sugar,
and swallowed at gulp, it tends, by
It's emollient qualities, TO lessen the
Inflammation of the stomach and in
testines, and by forming transient
coating on these organs. to enable
nature to resume heaithful sway over
a diseased body. Two or, at mos,
three eggs per day would be all That
is required in ordinary cases; and
since eggs are not merely medicine
but food as well, the lighter the diet
otherwise. and the qdieter the pat en-
is kept, the more certain aud rapid is
the recovery.

AYERS
HairVigOr

restores, with the gloss and freshness Of
youth, faded or gray hair 70 natural, rich
brown color, or deep black, as may be desired.
BY its use light or red hair may be darkened,
thin hair thiekened, and badness often,
though not always, cured.
It checks falling of the hair, and stimu-
hates a weak and siokly growth to yigor. 1t
prevents and cures scurf and dandrutf, and
heals nearly every disease peculiar to the
sealp, As a Ladies' Hair Dressing, the
VIaOR is unequalled; it contains neither oil
nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and
silken in appearance, and imparts delicate,
agreeable, and lasting perfume.

nearly bald. used part of bottle OF
AYER's HAIR VIGOR, which stopped the fall
ing Of the hair, and started new growth. 1

J.W. bowen, proprietor of the AcArthar
(Obto) Enquirer says :" AYER's HAIR NIGoR

Mr. ANGUS FAIRBAIRS, leader of the
celebrated " Fairbairn Family " of Scottish
Vocalists, writes from Boston, Mass, REQ. e,
1880: Ever since my hair began to give SUI
very evidence of the change which neeting

Mrs. o. A. PRESCOTT, writing from Is Elm
ST. ChdrlestOICH, Mass, April II, 1882, says
1.-Two wears ago about twO-thirds of my hair
came off. II thinned very rapidly, and was
fast growing bald. On using AYERS HAIR
VIGOR the falling stopped and a new growth
commenced, and in about month my head
was completely covered with short hair 1t

before it fell. l regularly used but one bottle
of the VIGOR, but now use it occasionally as

We have hundreds of similar testimonials
to the efficacy of AYERS HAIR VIGoR. 1t
needs but a trial to convince the most skepti-
cal of its value.

Large Profits From Sorghum
Nuw Orleans PiCayuRe. .
Four years ago Mr.. o. c. Gibbs
predicted that within ten years the
obstacles in the way of producing crys-
taiized sugar from the juices of the
sorghum canes, together with the
means of overcoming them, would be
so well understood that the produC-
ton of sugar from this source would
be as certain and reliable ms the pro
duction of starch Ur whisky from corn.
This prediction no longer looks rash.
The president of the company at Cham
pairn, Ill.,, last fall authorized the
statement that under all the disadvan-
tares of a poor crop, defective ma
chiucrv, and want of practical knowl-
edre of the manufacture, the business
would pay over working expenses of
every kind per cent. interest on
100000 invested, The crop worked
was only $50 acres. The Picayune on
Sept Is, 1888, reported the result OF
that years work-an average gross
product of above $40 per acre, and
net rroft on one field, whose account
was kept separate, of $50 46 per acre.
Mr.. Gibbs now writes to the Chicago
Tribune that the Champaign company
has 6l5 acres this year OF better
quality, and that its product per ton
will be about as follows: OF sugar,
frsts 90 lbs, seconds IS lbs; total 20
lbs, at : cents is So IS; Of strip : 10
gallons at 40 cents is SO; total product
per ton SIS 25; per acre at nine tons
S74 25. This is certainly a brilliant
anticipation for gross results, aud can
be discounted without financial dam
age. The company's cane costs at the
mill only 81 50 per ton. a project Is
on foot for the establishment of works
.at various points to convert cane into
semi-slrup. 1t is thought that the
Champaign works could convert TO-
600 acres of scmi-sirup into sugar,
making an enormous profit in proper
ton to the cost Of plant. One thou
sand acres of cane is all that the works
can handle. Without doubt the great
success of the Champaign experiment
will lead to the establishment Of other
factories.

The plow of the farmer cuts the far
row in which the seeds of civilization
are scattered.
With the advance of agriculture
and the promotion of the farmers in
terests comes the rattle of the wheels
of the cars of commerce, Keeping time
to the stroke of the clearing axe and
the canking chains of the blowing
oxen. Following the waves of emf
grafton. which roll along to beautify
the barren wastes of this country,
comes the tidal wave of commerce.
The farmer first, and after him
everything.
Ever in the vanguard Of civilization,
hewing his way clear through dense
forests or living in lonely settlements
on the pralres of the frontier, is he
to he found,
After he has made the earth yield
her increase and brought out of chaos
smiling abundance; ere ever he has
time TO rest from his weary toll and
enjoy the fruits of his labor, there
comes the hurryjng feet Of vast con-
courses of men. their eyes sparkling
with the fires of speculation and their
hands greedy to pluck from him his
hard earned reward.
They have been brought up in
cities. where the intellect is sharpened
hv contact with men, and where the
brain is strengthened by tue continual
effort required 10 keep up with the
race; while the farmer, whose sole
companion has been na'ure in al her
simplicity, loneliness and beauty, is
not prepared to cope with these sharp
ones, In money making tuev can
outstrip him. They take the p~oduc"
of his farm, and 10y one shrewd turn,
make more profit from it in a day
than he nas made in raising it.
These trafickers in the result Of a0-
others labor send theIr men to tue
Legislature to make laws for the fam
err, and he, supplemented man, allows
these sharp ones of the cart to rule
him.
Will the farmer ever realize hls

ever be inst'IIed into his mlnd that he
has more power at the polls tuan any

and concentrated effort he can elect
