the kidneys is uniform only in persons
whose habits of eating, drinking, sleep,
ing, bathing, and working are abso-
lutely regular.
The natural deduction from this is
that no person should give way to fears
regarding the heart, lungs, or any
other vital organ until he has first tried
the effect of absolutely regular and in
telligent physical habits. Plenty Of

regular rest, frequent bathing, and

Everlasting Fence Posts.

There is peculiar satisfaction in lis
tening to the conversation Or reading
the writings of positive men, or Of those
who deal in facts, and with such facts
as have but one side and no exception.
Such a man tells us, in the Western
Rural, how to preserve posts for fences,
etc. He says;
Il discovered many years ago that
wood can be made to last longer than
iron in the ground, but thought the
process so simple and inexpensive that
it was not worth while to make any
stir about it. | would as soon have
poplar or ash as any other kind of
timber for posts. | have taken out
Eastwood posts after having been set
seven years that were as sound as when
put in the ground. Time and weather
seemed to have had no effect on them,
The posts can be prepared for less than
two cents. Take up polished linseed
oil and stir in pulverized charcoal tc
the consistency of paint, Put coat
of this over the timber, and there is
not man that will live long enough
to see it rotten"
This is valuable discovery if true.
Let those having posts to set give it 6
trial. If it answers the purpose in
tended, all right; if not, you will suffer
but little loss.

A Deadly Serpent.

Some time ago party of sailors
visited the Geological Garden. One of
them, excited by the liquor he had
taken, and as an act of broyado to his
companions, took hold of deadly SER
pent. He held it up, having seized it
in such manner that it did not turn
round to sting, As he held it, the
snake unobserved by him, coiled itself
around his arm, and at last got firm
grip, and wound tighter and tighter
until he was unable to detach it. AS
the pressure of the snake increased the
danger grew, and at length the sailor
was unable to maintain his hold on the
venomous reptile, and was compelled
to loose it. What did the snake do ?
1t turned around and stung him and
he died. So it is with the appetite for
strong drink. We can control it at
first, but in a little while it controls us.
We can hold its influence in our grasp
for awhile, so that it shall be powcrless,
but afterward sit biteth like serpent
and sungeth like and adder"

A Startling Potato Yield.

New England Farmer.
The editor of the Rural New Yorker
reports yield OF potatoes upon its ex-
pertinent grounds of 1871 bushels per
acre. They were dug Aug. 81, weigh
ed, and the yield per acre figured out
by disinterested parties. We are not
informed as TO the size of the field, nor
much about the method of culture.
This is at the rate of s bushels and Al
pounds per square rod. With rows
two and three-fOurths feet adart (33
inches), there would be six rows to the
rod. The above yield would give five
pecks and nearly seven pounds to each
row one rod long. With the hills six
teen and a half inches apart, there
would be twelve hills to the row, and
almost seven pounds per hill, or a
small fraction less than a half peck.
There is plenty of room on an acre of
land to bury 1890 bushels of potatoes,
but not many farmers have yet learn.
ed how to coax that quantity to grow
upon so small an area. 1t is worth
something to know that it can be done.
Four hundred and lightweight bushels
was our largest yield of this crop, esti>
mated from the product of one square
rod, We are anxious to try again
and intend to do so.

Effects of the Imagination on Health.

Effects OF the Imagination on Health.
The case of DR.. Taft, of Hartford,
who was informed by eminent physi-
clans that one of his lungs had been de-
stroyed by disease, and that he could
not live six months, but who did not
believe it, and lived on comfortably
till sixty years of age, leads to comment
on the frequent blunders about certain
internal maladies and the effect of im>
agination upon the physical health.
1t can not be doubted that every
year thousands of people are frightened
into their graves by unfavorable re-
ports on the condition OF their lungs.
Each vital organ has disorders and
weaknesses peculiarly its own and the
lungs have their full share. Pain in
the chest is always attributed, by per-
sons afflicted, to diseased lungs, and the
influence of the imagination upon the
vital organs is so powerful that the
malady may be quickly increased.
There are some forms Of malarial fever
which induce terrible aching in the
chest The victim, knowing nothing
of pathology, or even of physiology,
attributes the cause either to pneumo-
MIA or consumption, and begins at once
to break down. Consultation with an
ordinary country practitioner usually
veri6es his fears, and unless he dimes at
a well spread table and has a good ap.
petite-which seldom accompanies ma
laria-he either gives up and dies, or
he hurries away to a health resort for
consumptives.
Heart disease is another popular
humbug which physicians too often
support. The heart is the most vital
of physical organs, but, like all others,
it can and does endure a great deal of
abuse. 1t is very easily affected SYM
pathetically, so any temporary disorder
of stomach, lungs or liver may make
its action irregular or cause pain which
seems to be located directly in the
heart. Almost every one has many
acquaintance, apparently healthy,
who have told him in strict confidence
that they have heart disease. A well
known physician had son whose heart,
tested with every appliance which pro
fessional skill could suggest, seemed
terribly diseased, so the youth was fol
ten years treated as delicate invalid
Finally his father noted that the par
oxysms of pain, followed by extreme
exhaustion, always came after meals
which either were extremely hearty
the patients appetite being ftful-ol
after repasts the viands of which were
incongruQus Or very rich. He imme
diately changed his treatment, sough
the malady in the stomach instead o
the heart, found it was indigestion
acted accordingly, insisted upon regu
lar meals, with plenty of nutrition
but plain food, and the heart diseas
disappeared as if by magic.
1t should be remembered by the af
ficted or the frightened that all the vi
tai organs are out of sight, and tina
the extreme of skill and experienc
can only imperfectly ascertain thei
condition. The kidneys are the onl
exception to this rule, for their cOndi
tion, for the time being, can be Judge
to some extent by what comes fror
them. But even this test may be mis-
leading, and it is the means Of iright
full smount of abuse of the feelings an

4 VICTORY FOR THE BEARS.
Wheat and Corn Reach the Lowest Fig
ures Since Last Years Advance.
Followed by Rapid Advance on Heavy
Orders from the SeabOard-A Decline in
Receipts Predicted.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
+ CHICAGO, Jan. lS.-The markets all opened
lower. Pork began Zoe under last nights close
wheat at sc 3-4c for May and corn at 57c for the
same month. The feeling was very ''bearish."
Wheat dropped down to SO 34c, the lowest
figure of yesterday and May corn to Sc 7-Sc, the
lowest figure touched since the advance began
last year The opening was weak because of the
sensational reports from New York in the morn
ing papers. From these lowest figures there was
very sharp advance. May wheat reacted a cent
and touched 81 Sc, and May corn sold at 56c.
There were large orders here from New York
to buy, and the bids at the seaboard from export
ers had it was said, been advanced Twenty
eight boat-loads of wheat, it was telegraphed
had been taken at New York for shipment yes
terday. Then the shorts, of whom there are
legion, began to exhibit little alarm There
were, besides, strong buyers in the provision
pits. February pork, which had opened
at $l4.50 advanced to $l4. 70,
and February lard, which started
at SIS 67 10, sold up to S. IS.
When the receipts were postedi it was apparent
that the enormous decline had affected the
farmers and, shippers, for there We're received
only nIuy seven cars OF WleaJ. Inere was less
corn, too-389 cars-and the receivers predict
that the receipts of all kinds of grain from this
on are likely to be small The corn that was
sold for January at the higher prices, by the
farmers, will be bought in and the grain
carried until spring in the country. The
inclination to hurry the grain in here this month
will, it is claimed disappear now that the prices
for the different options hold proper relation to
each other With warmer weather. too, the in
spection will be poorer, unless the inspection de-
partment is under contract to get about so much
contract corn in this month.
On the call wheat was very active and lower
under pressure to sell and the pounding of the
';bears. Nearly 100000 bushels changed
hands The most noticeable fact was that Feb
rpary and March options attracted much alton
ton showing that the unloading by the longs
was going forward all along the line.
