The Lecture Last Night.

Among the Books was the sub.
ject of an interesting lecture deliver
ed last night at the Presbyterian
Church, by the Rev. Il. III. Williams.
After discoursing on the value of
books, and the difference between
modern and ancient times in the num-
ber of fbooks, the lecturer declared that
in the homes Of the most humble are
found larger stores Of intellectual
wealth than some Of the greatest
thinkers of antiquity ever possessed.
The people of the present age ought
to know more and do more than the
people of the past. because the ages
past have brought their treasures and
laid them down at our feet.
Then, we had brief view of what
books were before the printing press
was introduced.
Then the history of writing was
traced, and it was found that there
were no books except the book of the
Bible in Hebrew, either printed or
written, much before six or seven
hundred years before Christ. Then
the materials used in the place OF pa
per were referred to, and the time
when paper took its place permanently
as the material for writing and print
ing.
The influence of books upon indi-
viduals was shown in the case of
such men as Chalmers, Franklin, Rob-
ert Hall, McCheyne, Theodore Parker
and others. Above all the influence
of "7hc Book,n the Bible, was told
Then the time it will take to supply
heathern nations with the Bible and
other books was shown to be hun
dreds of years, so that the work of
the church is far from being done,
even if the millennium should be at
hand.
Certain tests of good books were
then presented, after which the i'm
portance OF the collection of private
and public libraries was referred to.
Many man of intelligence, when
asked to what he owed his knowledge,
can reply: 1T was my good fortune
to live in the neighborhood of an ex-
cellent library. which was made ac-
cessible to me- y
Said one minister, writing to anoth-
er minister, "If | had the command of
the library which you have, / should
think it worth Eve hundred dollars
year." We can imagine that a good
library might be worth to every
family not less than fifty dollars q
year. The man who is fond of books
will not squander money on low, vul-
gar amusements, and in this way, will
save money. And the book will
make him a more skillful and Efficient
workman, and in this way he will
make money ont Of his book
Our aim in these lectures, said the
speaker, is to awaken an interest 10 q
means of pleasure that is both cheap
and profitable. And if we can inflame
one mind with desire to make the
most of good books, our efforts will
not be fruitless of good.

Eggs Without Shells.

1t is a common occurrence at this
season of the year to find eggs with
out shells-simply covered with a
thick substance like a skin. This
shows improper feeding-either by
overlooking and producing the egg
before it had time to form a shell,
or by not furnishing a suficiency OF
food containing the shell forming
properties. In the first case the
ovaries are stimulated beyond the
proper degree and the remedy is
simply q res friction of diet; but if
egg shells are not formed on account
of q deficiency Of lime It's tbs must be
supplied by using any OF the mate
rails commonly used which contain
it-pounded shells, bones, old NOR
tar, lime water, etc.
While speaking on this subject
we may state that eggs produced in
a limestone country are greatly pre-
fsrred by shippers to those that
come from a locality that has no
lime; the shell of the limestone egg
being much thicker and stronger,
consequently run lest risk of being
broken in handling.

Mr, Randall,

The attempt of the machine or
gans to read Mr.. Randall out OF the
democratic party is very amusing.
The organs have no power to read
anybody out of party, and if they
could succeed in driving out such
men as Randall it would be a bad
day for the party. 1t is a very mar
row policy which denies man the
independence of his own views and
the courage Of his convictions with
in a party organization. A man
may be a most worthy and useful
member of political party and
still not subscribe even to all of the
platform utterances of the party.
There is not better democrat in
the country than Mr.. Randall, and
his position on the tariff makes him
more necessary to democracy than
he otherwise would be. He has a
head of his OVID, and that is always
a good thing for man to have,
whether he be democrat or repub bill
can. A democrat who thinks fol
himself Is a democrat to be ad-
mired. He is a good democrat, al
though he may not be a damphool

Newspapers of To-Day.

People generally, and even those who
may be termed steady readers and close
observers, have but faint conception
of the magnitude and influence the
press of this country has attained, From
careful examination of the advance
pages of the 1885 edition of the Ameri-
can Newspaper Directory, issued Nav
Ist, by Geo. p. Rowell q Co., of New
York, it appears that there are I4l47
newspapers and periodicals published
in the United States and Canada: of
these the United States has 1873, an
average of one paper for every 1873
persons. In 1884 the total number of
newspapers was less by S23 than at
present, ard while the gain this year is
not so marked as in some previous
years, it is still considerable, Kansas
shows the greatest increase, the num-
Der being IS, while Illinois follows
with gain of a. 1t is curious to no.
tice that New York, the scene of so
much political activity during the last
campaign, should have only about one
third as many new papers as the State
of Pennsylvania. AS an index to the
comparative gowth and prosperity OF
different sections of the country, es-
pecially the Territories, the number of
new papers forms an interesting study,
and may well occupy the attention OF
the curions,

A MAN WHO SUFFERED MENTAL AND
PHYSICAL AGONY EIGHT YEARS PRO-
CLAIMS HIS HAPPINESS.
Mental agony is dreadful, but when that
and physical ailment combine, it IS simply
terrible. Such was the condition Of Geo.
w. Frampton, of Huntingdon, w. Va,
for eight years. He was a sufferer of ne
croses-that Is, the leg bone at the ankle
was infiaIncd and mortified, which caused
running sores. lie says: Pieces OF bone
the size Of n silver three cent piece came
out Of the sores on my leg. The discharge
from the sores was almost continual, ana
I was unable to walk. For eight years L

The First Thousand Dollars.

1t looks like our folks will never
get rich. Somehow or other they
can't make the first $1,000. If they
make it they can't save it. An
Irishman was asked how he man
aged to get so rich, and he said he
never bought anything that he was
not obliged to have; but our people
reverse the rule and buy most every
thing they are not obliged to have.
That is the way we do at our homes
and most everybody else that l
know of. We have got rich folks
with a poor mans purse, and so we
live on a strain. 1t is a curious
circumstance in this life, that the
folks who would be charitable with
their money haven't got any surplus
to give away. Their very habits of
free living and generosity prevent
them from accumulation.
There are 500 rich men up north
to one down here. They begin
early to save and economic. They
take care of the little and before
long they have the first thousand
clear and then they are safe. Our
folks begin early to keep up with
society and the fashions and never
get the thousand that is the mud
sill, the foundation ofwealth.- Nye.

Her SeapOrts.

The Russian empire is the largest
in the world that is composed OF
connected possessions. Consider
ing its vast area it is singularly IN
fortunate in possessing but few sea
ports, and these so situated as to
be easily Theoretically sealed by a
blockading power. The Black Sea
is like a bottle with a narrow neck,
easily closed at the mouth. The
Caspian is land-locked. The White
Sea contains the port of Archangel,
by which Russia's first trade with
England began. 1t is open but a
short time and Of little use in war.
The Baltic is a shallow, dangerous
sea, useful tor 4 refuge and for a
nursery OF privateers, if it were not
so easily blocked at the entrance
to the north German sea.
This is the sum of Russia's sea-
ports, excepting her northeast Ash
attic ports. These cannot be of
any value in war except as mere
harbors of refuge. Siberia is too
cold and sterile and too thInly pop
ulated to be of any military cOnse-
quence and there is no practicable
communication between Siberia
and Russia of the slightest use in
war.
Unless Russia Is prepared with
her great iron-clads to conquer a
naval place and hold it, England
can easily make the Russian navy
worthless and make good use of her
own navy to back whatever land
venture she may choose to make
on the Baltic or on the eastern
Black Sea coast.

The Talking Sex.

Perhaps it is the way their
tongues are built. If it is a physi-
cal popularity, the balance
of the world ought to be will
ing to accept matters, and the sex,
without complaint. We have re
ferred to women as the laughing
sex, and have speculated about the
causes for the eternal grin and gig
gle which are characteristics of
even the best of them. But along
with the necessity of laughing, that
seems born in the feminine sex,
there is another even necessity OF
talking. A woman can't even buy
a half-dozen stamps without max
irg three times as many words
over it as q man would. If she
can't get the seats she wants at the
box office of theater she invaria-
bly, thinks 1t necessary to explain
why she doesn't want those in the
orchestra circle and why she did
want the others. If in the transac-
ton of any business she comes to a
conclusion, she never thinks it suf-
ficient to announce the conclusion
unsupported, She always goes back
to the beginning Of the process of
thought and emotion by which she
arrived at the end, and insists on
telling it all to the very last step.
1t is no use to try to stop her or
turn her off the track, or make her
forget about it. She thinks she
has been thinking and she means
to tell all abopt it. She is feebly
conscious that her intellectual ma
chiDery has been at work, and she
can no more keep from making the
fact known than a hen can con-
ceal the fact that she has laid an
egg.
1t must be that women's tongues
are self-cocking, and are intended
by nature to go off whenever the
brain moves. This is the only ex-
PLANTATION for the super1uity oftalk-
ing which women always seem i'm
PEELED to do. 1t is a physical ne
eessity, along with their laughing
and the peeulir wobble with which
they always try to run, and the I'M
explainable use of their arms and
elbows when carrying an umbrella.
They can't help it. Nature made
them so. and if they didn't laugh
three-fourths of the time, and talk
three times as much as is necessa-
ry, to say nothing of using twice as
many words as are needful, per-
haps they would die.-Globe.

radically different from usual meth
dds employed in their feeding and
care. Too much hog cholera per-
vades the hog growing districts;
and it is caused, almost wholly, by
not observing sanitary conditions
in their feed and care. A hog is
not necessarily a filthy animal, and
even if he is, to make meat suitable
for human food, he should be rear
ed in strict cleanliness, and fed on
only such food as will be most con-
duclve to healthy growth. The par
asites, such as trichin9, which
seem to make the system OF the hog
their home, are no doubt the off
spring of the system of feeding and
methods of rearing. Filth and I'M
wholesome food will beget these
parasitical diseases in the human
body, and other diseases also, and
could we reasonably expect disre-
gard of these sanitary conditions
which the human family has to OBJ
serve so closely, to be carried on
for years with the hog without pro
ducing at length Just the results
which have been observed in the
cured pork which has made so
much trouble with our export
trader A change must be made,
and on many of our most advanced
farms it has already been
made; and the filthy pen and mud
dy yard have been dispensed with
for the clean pastures. But yet corn,
the great progenitor of so called
hog cholera, is still used too much
in feeding young and growing
swine; and the food of fattening hogs
is confined entirely too exclusively
to this heating and fever producing
grain.
The eyes of many of our swine
breeders are becoming opened to
these facts, and they are making
radical changessin their system Of
feeding, Corn, of course, still is
their main food, but an exclusively
CORP diet, from birth until made
into pork, has been changed fol
clover, pasture, roots, etc, and
a variety of grains.
