Organic Weakness

Immediately cured and full vigor restored. This
aff1iction-which renders life a burden and mar
rage impossible-is the penalty paid by the vic
tim of improper indulgence. Young persons
are too apt to commit excuses from not being
aware of the terrible consequences that may en-
sue. Now who that understands this subject,
will deny that pro-creation is lost sooner by
those falling into improper habits than by the
prudent? Besides being deprived of the pleas
ure of healthy offspring the most serious and de-
structivc symptoms Of both mind and body
arise. The system becomes deranged, and phys
ical and mental functions weakened, loss of pro-
creative power, nervous irritability, dyspepsia,
psslpi alton of the heart, indigestion, constitu-
tional debility, wasting of the frame, cough,
consumption, decay and death.

WHEN TO CUT OATS.

When oats are cut green, the grains,
which even when ripe, are small, Will
shrink very much, and, consequently,
lose in weight; and when it is threshed,
much will be blown away with the chat,
which would not be if it had been left
standing until ripe, and the grains full
grown. Besides this, the farmer runs
great risk in cutting oats before it is ripe,
especially if he cuts it with reaper, and
ties it up at once, of having it mold; and
this risk is increased if there should be
much rain before he can store it in the
barn. 1t also takes longer for oats cut
green to become fit for hauling than fit
is left standing until ripe, besides being
much harder to cut and handle. Oats
cut when ripe will thresh one-half easier,
as any farmer knows. The straw may
make better feed when cut green, but
there are very few people who would
wish to use it for that purpose, when they
would lose twice the amount they would
gain in the loss of wheat and quality of
the oats.
The idea of raising oats is not so much
to preserve the straw as that we may cut
it when the oats is best, and has most
weight. We deny that oats, when cut
green, will be white and cleaner, but
know from experience that the opposite
is usually the case. When cut green, it
very often has a dark color, and very
often some ofthe grains will be nodded.
When ripe it can be hauled in almost at
once, and threshed as soon as hauled.
Our reasons, then for allowing oats to
become ripe before cutting are the follow
ing: First, the grains will fill out better,
and it will weigh more when thresbed
Second, less will blow away with the
chat when threshed. Third, it is not SO
apt to mold. Fourth, it can be hauled
in and threshed sooner. Fifth, it will
have a better color.-Pittsburgh Stock

a Good Education.

We hear a good deal said in these
latter times about a good education,
and it leads US to inquire what a good
education is? Everybody in this
country is agreed tia. it comprises the
ability TO read properly and gramat-
ically the English language, and a
sufficiently knowledge Of arithmetic
to be able to answer accurately any
questions in the four rules in that
science. This is a good education
as far as it COWS, and as far as street
education is concerned it is better
than many who claim to be well ed
ucated have attained TO. Without
these, education is not good, al
though you are years in all the olO-
gies and osophies mentioned in Web
sters dictionary; with them you have
the key that with patience and per-
severance will unlock all the others.
But even with those and the addition
of alr the learning taught in the
schools but nothing more, the educa-
ton would be far from 4 good educa-
ton. The education most needed at
the present day is a practical one.
and it is also the most neglected.
The heaping on of flashy attainments
for the purpose of show, to the ne
glect of the every day needed practi-
cal attainmenrs, is far too common,
and no one can be said to have a
good education who has not, in addi-
ton to the lore of the schools, a
knowledge of how to earn their own
living. Every one, male or female
rich or poor, should be taught how
TO work in some calling or profession
that would procure them a liveli-
hood, and until that is done they
haye not good education. Edu-
cate the mind that the labor of the
hands may be more effective Edu-
cate the hands that the education of
the mind may be practical as well
az ornamental.

A wifes Presentiment.

READING, June 12.-One of the
most mysterious of deaths and, at
the same time, one of the most curl
Gus presentiments by which the
death was discovered, were developed
near this city late this afternoon
after the dead body of a man,
with twenty pound stone hanging
to his neck, had been drawn up from
the bottom ola deep minehole. The
mans name is August Hechler, aged
forty, small farmer formerly resid-
ing on the opposite side of the river.
About nineteen days ago he sudden
ly disappeared from home about ?
o'clock in the morning. His wife
says he was in bed at l o'clock.
She fell into a doze and when she
woke up at 2 o'clock, her husband
had disappeared. Next day bottle
was found in the river near by indi-
eating that some one had drowned
himself. The day afterward it was
reported that Hechler had been
seen at Lebanon and at Harrisburg
The wife believed none OF these re-
ports. but she stated that frequently
an indescribable feeling of fear came
over her and something seemed to
tell her that her husbands body was
at the bottom of q neIghboripg iron
ore mine. She finally insisted that
the old deserted mine should be
searched, just to satisfy her, because
every night the same presentiment
possessed her.
To-day quite large number Of
the neighbors did as she requested
and to their horror and amazement
found the dead body of Hechler
at the bottom of a sixty-foot shaft
in fifteen feet of water and twenty
pound stone fastened about his neck
The coroner's jury rendered verdict
of suicide.

LUCK OF ONE DAYS FISHING

One morning when spring was in her teens
A morn TO poets wishing.
All tinted in delicate pinks and greens
Miss Bessie and went fishing.
In my rough and easy clothes,
With my face at the sunshine's mercy;
She with her hat tipped down to her nose,
And her nose upped-vice versa.
I with nay rod, ny reel, and my hooks,
And hamper for iunching reeesses;
She with the bait Of hsr comely looks,
And the seine Of her golden tresses.
So we sat down on the sunny dixie,
Where the white pend lilies teeter,
And went to fishing like quaint old Ike,
And she like Simon Peter.
All the noon lay in the light of her eyes,
And dreamily watched and waited,
But the FISH were cunning and would not rise,
And the batter alone was baited.
And when the time for departure came
The bag was fiat as a founder,
But Bessie had neatly hooked her game,
A Enthusiastically FOUNDER.

bridge trustees. for alleged negligence
in the construction of the bridge,
there by contributing to the recent
occurrence by which a number Of
persons were killed and many MAIN
ed. Damages to the amount of s20,-
/ 900 are claimed in each case. Ii Is
held that the trustees were clearly
res ponsible for the accident, in hav-
ing thrown open the bridge for travel
before it was finished, and for the
lack of a proper police force. Had
the necessary precautions been observ-
ed. there would have been no panic
and no resulting loss of life and inJu-
~. In accepting the money of pas
sengers, the bridge trustees, it is
claimed, practically guaranteed their
safe passage across the bridge.
On Friday of last week William
H. Vanderbilt drove his team Maud
s. and Aldine, on Fleetwood Park,
New York, to a Brewster top wagon,
weighing with pole top and screen
212 pounds, in 2:15l. The quarter
pole was passed in 32j the half in
1.054 the three-guarter in 1:41, and
the team went under the wire at
2:15l without a skip. The feat was
witnessed by dozens OF celebrated
sportsmen and owners ofrival teams,
among them Frank Work, owner Of
Dick Swiveiler and Edward, who
have a record of 2:l6i, the fastest
mile ever made heretofore by a
double team, but even this was made
with a wagon without top, great
advantage over Vanderbilt's top
wagon. Maud SIS single record is
2:10i and Aldine's 2:19, and the
opinion Is that Aldine is no match
for Maud, but if Maud had a mate
worthy of her, the two cnuld trot
mile in 2:10.

The cabinet has lately received, through
the generosity of Paymaster J. Q. Barton,
class of 81, now of the United States navy.
an interesting and valuable collection of rel
les from Egypt, Carthage, Syria, Pompeii,
and other places of ancient note. The col
lection from Egypt and Carthage comprises
a tablet Of hieroglyphics taken from the re-
Gently discarded tombs of the Pharaohs, a
portion of the capital of pillar in the temple
of the sun at Baalbec, with some MINOR relics
from the Sphinx and pyramids. The other
objects OF greater interest are pieces from the
temple of Diana at Ephesus, from the hospi-
tai of the knights of st. John at Jerusalem,
from the Parthenon and houses of Pompeii.
The ancient Roman lamps and glass tear bot
tie recently unearthed at Mytelene are curious
and rare, but the most valuable of all are the
fossil fishes from Mount Lebanon. The relics
were all collected by Mr.. Barton and are
therefore free from the doubt which hovers
over many alleged specimens of ancient ruins.
