Save the Corn Stalks,

Of the many things l admire in my
German neighbor, none excite my re-
spect more than the very successful way
in which he manages his corn stalks
His plan does not differ from that gen.
orally adopted. He husks his corn in
the field, ties the stalks into bundles,
stands these bundles into stocks, and,
when dry, draws them into the barn, or
makes them into high, narrow stack,
that is pretty much all roof. The
Deacon and l do the same thing. The
only difference is, that we propose to
draw them in tomorrow, or the next
day, OF as soon as convenient, and the
result is, that something happens to
postpone the work, and before we know
it the stalks are wet, and we must wait
until they get dry again. And some
times we repeat this process of waiting
for a convenient time, and November
snow finds the stalks still in the field.
Not so with Mr.. Jacobs. He does not
wait. His stalks are frequently secure
in the barn or stack before some OF us
commence to husk. His cows and
Young stock are in the field, picking up
the stray ears and scattered fodder be-
fore they are injured by the rain, and
before we realize what has been done
the field is narrowed to level down the
stubs and the next day the boys are
blowing and getting the land ready to
sow barley next spring. Cor. Anierscgn

The Increase of INSANITY

Boston supports 800 insane, says Mr.. I.
B. Sanborn, not 10 of whom will recover
This is frightful! Insanity has in
creased 40 per cent. in decade and most
of the cases are incurable. Whatever the
individual cause may be, the fact remains
that Uric Acid blood sets the brain on fire,
destroys its tissues, and then comes some
form of fatal lunacy.
Nothing is so pitiable as mind diseased.
Most brain troubles begin in the stomach;
then if the blood is filled with uric acid,
caused by failure of kidney action, and the
consequent destruct ion of the blood life
albumen-you have the fuel and the flame
and brain in full blaze as when one raves,
or in slow combustion, as in milder forms
of insanity. Rev. E. D. Hopkins, of st.
Johns bury, VT, few years ago was con-
fined in an asylum. He took terrible
cold while aiding in putting out fire in a
neighbours burning house, and for twenty
five years that cold was slowly filling his
blood with uric acid and finally the deadly
work was done. The case looked hopeless
bu. he happily used Warmers safe cure
and recovered. That was three years ago
and having ridden his blood of ali surplus
uric acid, he has remained well until this
day.
It is indeed terrible thing to lose ones
mind, but it is more terrible thing to suf-
fer such a condition when it can be so
easily prevented.

Interesting Information About a Pros
porous Pastoral Republic.
The Republic of Uruguay is devoting
itself to cattle-raising on an extraor j.
nary Wholesale ale. One of the lead
ing raisers, recently interviewed, has
given the statistics. Fig million
horned cattle, 100000 sheep, and
1900, 900 horses constitute the stock in
trade of this model but extensive pas
toral Republic. The export returns
show what heavy customer England
continues to be. She takes per cent.
of the total exports. Brazil being debit

and the tide of immigration steady
20,224 last year; women, however, in
an alarming minority, and constituting
less than quarter of the arrivals.
Four thousand vessels sailed in the
same year from the port of Montevideo,
with registered tonnage of
over 100000. Next come statistics
about the cattle. The average novillo,
the steer most used for fattening, gives
$50 pounds of jerked beef, sixty-eight
pounds of sailed hide, and forty pounds
of grease. and besides that there are
the bone ash. the hair and the horns.
Business is done on such a wholesale
scale that everything is utilized. All

and allowed for, the novillo brings in
twenty dollars a head. while the COM

cost of killing and preparing for market
is about four dollars, leaving the net

seen that such business as this is nee
essarily extremely profitable. In the
slaughter houses, called "saladeros,
500 cattle day are killed. A lasso, one
end of which is attached to steam

SHIELDS AND BICYCLES.
The Proposed Grotesque Armament OF
British Soldiers.

The Proposed Grotesque Armament of
British Soldiers.
If we may believe what we read, it
would seem to be proposed to arm the
British Infantry soldier with shield.
The new implement covers, we are
told, surface of foot square, is war
ranted bullet-proof, weighs three
pounds, and fixes on to the rifle very
much after the fashion of the bayonet.
The idea, of course, is that our soldiers,
when thrown out as skirmishers, shall
carry their own cover with them; and
it is supposed thar, by sticking the point
of the shield into the ground, they will
not only be protected while firing, but
will have rest for their rifles. When
not in service it will be carried
slung under the arm. We must
confess that the suggestion reads
very much like hoax, and
runs on all fours with that other just
mooted that bicyclists are to be en-
ployed as ''scouts." If the fighting is
all on turnpike roads, we can imagine
the vidette-on-castors getting along
without disaster for short time; but,
even then, a rifle fired with accuracy
at his wheel would bring him down in
a most ruinous collapse. When the
machine is spinning along, no bullet
could ever pass through the spokes, and
the result would be catastrophe, instant
and complete. In actual imitation of
war. that is, across country, it could
not possibly be of any use, and the idea
of the cyclist-scout lifting his machine
over a dong1 with Zulus after him. or
trying to get through the bush with
Arabs in pursuit, is too comical for
serious entertainment. Hardly less
grotesque is the notion of the British
soldier with his three pounds of steel
plate at the end of his rifle lodging
about in skirmishing order. -LOndon

"MADAME'S FOOT"
Feet That Were Admired BY All TIN
PeCD'e of Paris.

Feet That Were Admired by All tho
PeCp'e of Paris.
A foot unnaturally small should b
considered, according to the canons OF
beauty, real deformity; but if it be in
proportion with the frame it SUPP Orts,
no one IL find fault with its d minu-
tive ess. Karoline Bauer relates the
following story of F.enchwoman'
foot:
he Duches de Berri, mother tn
| te Cont de Chambord whom the
legitimists called He ry ", was not a
beauty, but was both thin and yellow,
and possessed of noticeable squint.
Still she had her Oh rm in the shape OF
beautiful little foot, spoken of rever-
emily by all Paris as ''the foo of Mad
ame."
This little member was ALWAYS dis
played to the ry hes advantage.
Madame invariably wore short dresses,
that her one beauty might not escape
the public e. and the marvels of no
siery in which the little foot was clothed
were of themselves sullici Mt TO attract
the attention of those to whom high art
would appeal.
Madame at one time made a wagel
with her royal father-in-law that she
could drive unrecognizrd through Paris
in public omnibus. T. e disguise to
be assumed was at her own option.
Attired in the print dress and white
head-gear of grisette, and carrying the
customary large bandbox on her arm,
the duchess waited for her bus and
boldly sgnaled it.
The omnibus stopped, and the con-
ductor let down the small iron ladder,
saying, indiflerently, as usual:
Enter, mademoiselle.
rs madame placed her foot upon the
first round of the ladder, tie conduc-
tors wandering gaze CHANGED to fall
upon it. A tiny marvel, clad in rose
colored stockings and enclosed in a
black satin shoe, it was not to be mis-.
taken.
"Ah. the foot of Madamer' cried the
conductor, snatching off his cap and
making lis deepest bow.
The duchess had lost her bet, but
who would venture to declare that, I'm.
der the circumstances, she was not glad
to lose it?
In the salon of French nobleman
there is still exhibited a strange, sacred
relic-a wonderfully small shoe of white
satin, upon which some drops of blood
are visible. 1t is the shoe worn by the
foot of madame at the opera, on the
evening when her husband was MUIR
dered.

a Curious Cabinet.

In the Office of George R. Elliott, who
was the microscopic employed by Gen.
eral Grants physicians, curious mon
ument to the dead hero has been erected.
In the early stages of the malady, bits
of the diseased throat were clipped off
in order to determine by microscopic
examination whether they were affected
by malignant cancer. The practice of
medicine in this city has got into such
an advanced condition that specialists
are used in all of its mechanical
branches. One operator will provide
himself With the skill ald apparatus for
the chemical testing of matter; another
will set up workshop for manual i'm
provement of crooked spines and the
reductlon of other deformities; and FL
hotts establishment is devoted to the
ascertalnment of the exact condition of
human tissue by means of the most
powerful microscopes. 1t was pub
lished during the illness of Grant that
the microscope had proved the cancer
to be epithelial, but the physicians did
not divulge the fact that every stage of
the diseases progress was watched
through lenses SO magniGying that a
scrap of flesh became as big as cart
wheel to look at. Eighteen times were
specks of the cancer stuck to sides of
glass for scrutiny under the microscope.
Elliott kept these. He has now had a
cabinet shaped for them like base for
a memorial figure, and on it stands a
bust of Grant. No matter how entirely
the great monument project may fail,
here are entombed remains of Grant in
a manner soberly intended to be i'm
pressive.--Cor. Utica Observer.
