M. r. Wolf, of Zurich, records that
the maximum number of sun spots (424)
observed in recent times was during the
first six months of 1882.
Although corrosive sublimate is gain
ing in favor among surgeons as an an

1t is placed beyond doubt in the
course of the investigation regarding
cholera in the east that DR.. Koch of the
German Cholera Commission, has dis
covered the bacilli of the disease.
Thus far soapstone is proving itself
an excellent substitute for fire-bricks.
1t stands very high temperatures and it
does not glaze, and it has several other

AS to OvefWOrk III schools 1t has well
been remarked by q recent wrighter

the inevitable result of attempting to

In 1888, or little more then half
century ago, John Walker, of Stock
ton-on-tees, made o,...e first iuclfer

factory established in Vienna in the
same year. For IA years the persons
engaged in making the old lucifers suf-
fered from phosphorus necrosis.
Amorphous phosphorus was substitute

indispensable industry.
A wash of one part nitric acid in ten
parts of water will impart stain res
embling mahogany to pine wood that
does not contain much resin. When
the wood is thoroughly dry shellac var
nish will impart fine polish to the sur
face. A glaze of carmine or lake will
produce rosewood finish. A turpen-
tine extract OF alkanet root produces
beautiful stain which admits of French
polishing. Asphaltum thinned with tur-
pentine makes an excellent mahogany
collar on new wood.

other words, the shilling of Henry VIII.

coin. The wages of an ordinary labor
er were Gid per day. The rents Of
cottages varied from 2s. Sd. to As. per
aDnum. Six or eight days labor was,
therefore, sufficient to pay the years
rent. At the present day, taking an
agricultural laborer's wages at los. a
week, and cottage rent at rs. q week,
95 year, it requires 40
days labor to pay the yearly rent.
No doubt the cottages at that time
were mere novels; but / fear large
number at the present day are little
better. About the same period wheat
was Is. Sd. per quarter, the price of q
pig 3s.S 3D., and of COW les. A labor
er earning Gid. day, or 3s. Sd. per
week, could purchase quarter of wheat
with fortnight's labor, which would
now require three weeks, or pig. with

now require the labor of three. Leay.

Spring Catechism.

Why iait-You should be particularly care
full to clean up the system and purify the bloodin
the spring, before the approach of warm wealth
or. Because the hearty consumption of food
and theindoor life of the winter months result
in large amount of food being taken into the
stomach, portion of which has not been di-
gested. The accumulation of refuse matter
forms into decaying mass which poisons the
system and stagnates the blood.
Whatto do.-Remove this deposit, cleanse the
system, and purify the blood of all foul impreg-
nations. By doing SO you remove the cause Of
nine tenths of spring complaints and diseases;
you avoid malaria, billiousness, boils, blotches,
yellow skin, ETC. Root out the lingering germs
of disease aud prepare the system to success
fully repel the complaints peculiar to hot
weather.
When you want to accomplish this thorough
~ and with the least expense, Burdock Blood
Bitters is the medicine. A purely vegetable
preparation. 1t searches out and carries OF all
impurities from the body, purities the blood,
cures indigestion, dyspepsia, kidney and liver
complaints. It is not violent purgative, nor
sickening decoction, but medicine that is
pleasant to take, will do you good, and demand
