Mr.. Norman Hunt, OF No. 169 Chestnut
street, Springfield, Mass, writes April 10,
1881, saying:
Having the afIliction caused by kidney
and liver diseases, and after enduring the
aches, pains, weakness and depression Incl
dent thereto until body and soul were nearly
distracted, | sought for relief and cure
from my trouble, and was told by friend
who had been cured by it himself, that the
best and only sure cure was Hunts Remedy.
and upon his recommendation commenced
taking it, and the first few doses improved
my condition in a very marked manner and
a continuance of its use has justified all that
my friends claimed for it--that it was a
sure and permanent cure for all diseases of
the kidneys and liver Several Of my friends
in Springfield have used it with the most
gratifying results. and feel it my duty as
well as pleasure to me to recommend Hunts
Remedy in the highest possible to'ms."

Wheat Grading.

The committees Of the MiIers association
and Chamber Of Commerce, OF Minneapolis,
and the Board Of Trade Of Duluth have agreed
informally to establish a uniform grade OF
wheat between the two cities. Hereafter Du,
luth will exclude from her hard grades every
variety except Scotch Fife. At least seven
eighths must he Fife in order to grade as hard
is the rule which has prevailed at Minneapolis
and is now adopted by Duluth. No agreement
was arrived at in regard to smutty wheat. Al
Minneapolis all wheat containing smut is
graded as rejected, while at Duluth wheat
which contains small proportion OF smut is
graded No. 8, and sometimes as high as No.
or even No. l. 1t ls thought that an agree
ment on this point will be reached later. The
Millers' association has reduced the difference
between the price of hard and soft wheat from
10 cents to cents.

Australia has 5000 miles OF road. There are

The average number of passengers CARRIED
by passenger trains during 1858 was forty five
per train.
The average passenger fare charged in 1852
was 2.SG cents per mile. In 1853 it was PAP

SheeD'S Horn for HOrseshOeS.

A new horseshoe has lately been expert
mented with at Lyons, France. The shoe il
made entirely of sleeps horn, and is found
particularly adapted to horses employed in
towns and known not to have steady foot on
the pavement The results Of the experiments
have proved very satisfactory, as horses thus
shod have been driven at rapid pace on the
pavement without slipping. Besides this ad.
vantage, the new shoe is very durable, and
though a little more expensive than the ordi.
nary one seems destined sooner or later to re.
place the iron shoe, particularly for horses en-
ployed in large cities, where, besides the pave

The Imperial Canal OF China is over 1000

the greatest undertaking of the kind in Europe,
the canal Of Languedoc, or the Canal du Midi,
to connect the Atlantic with the Mediterranean;
its length is 14S miles, it has more than 100
locks, and about so aqueducts; and in its high
est part it is 10 less than 600 feet above the
sea; it is navigable for vessels of upward Of 100
tons. The largest ship canal in Europe is the
great North Holland canal, completed in 1926.
1t is 124 feet wide at the water surface, 81
feet wide at the bottom, and has depth of 20
feet; it extends from Amsterdam to the Helder,
81 miles. The Caledonian canal, in Scotland,
has a total length of go miles, including three
lakes. The Suez canal is so miles long, OF
which GG miles are actual canal. The Erie
