What YnnIn fnr World Do

without woman? asks the essayist who
starts out to say something new on this OFT
treated subject OF course, the human ele-
ment of the world would not exist without
woman, so the question is gratuitous. 1t
would have been far more sensible to ask :
What would the world do without the sal
walton Of woman, without panacea for
her physical Ills and cure for her peculiar
diseases? In word, what would the wo rid
do without DIR. Pierce's "FavoTite Prescrip-
tion," the great remedy for female weak
nesses? 1t is Indispensable for the ills of

Il raIuable crystalline coating for
wood or paper may be obtained, it is
stated, by mixing a very concentrated
cold solution of salt with dextrine, and
laying the thinnest coating of the fluid
Oh the surface to be covered by means
of broad, soft brush. After drying,
the surface has beautiful, bright,
mother of-pearl coating, which, in con-
sequence of the dextrine, adheres firmly
to paper and wood. The coating may
be made adhesive to glass by doing 1t
over with an alcoholic shellac solution.
Sulphate of magnesia, acetate of soda
and sulphate of tin are among the salts
which produce the most attractive
crystalline coatings. Paper must first
be sized, otherwise it will absorb the
liquid and prevent the formation Of
crystals.

lnr. james Pearson. +. IL. Il. 5,
states that a singular circumstance
takes place in the tides OF the Lolent,
the narrow channel separating the Isle
of Wight from England. The first tide
arrives from the westward and brings
high water, after which it begins to
ebb. But soon after this, the portion
of the tide which had been circulating
round the Isle oflWight finds its way
into the same basin, and the water be-
gins to rise again, thus exhibiting the
phenomena of four tides in dag.

THE cost of wheat crop per acre

bushel will be at a yield of twelve
bushels per acre 81 at twenty bushels
per acre, sixty cents; at thirty BUSH

difference in expense of putting in and
securing the maximum crop will be in
hauling and threshlng and the larger

The average yield Of potatoes in the
United States for a series of years is
eighty-four bushels per acre. Calling
the cost per acre S25. which, including
seed, digging and marketing, is per-
