A Promise FULFILLED.

little more than wear ago we published
in these columns notice of the discovery of
Sheridan's Condition Pow der to make hens
lay. In making that announcement we re-
lied wholly upon the character aud reputation
Of the manufacturers. To our own mind, at
that time, the idea of making hens lay the
year round by artificial or any other means,
seemed absurd, but we have since learned
that it can be done. The notice alluded to
above attractive universal attention, and
thousands of people, while not believing that
Sherdan's Powder could accomplish all that
WAS claimed for it, thought it was at least
worth a trial. The trial was made during
December, January and February. No 9TH
er months could have been selected which
would have given this Powder so severe a
test. for everybody who keeps hens knows
that they will not lay during these months ex-
cept in rare cases. But the result of this
trial was most satisfactory and conclusive
Hundreds of those who made the trial re-
ceived from Is to "a eggs per hen per month,
while many got one egg day from each hen.
The price of eggs during December, Janua-
~ and February last, averaged 80 to IS cents
per dozen. Thus it will be seen that very
few hens each laying an egg day would sup
port small family. l. S. johnson & Co., of

Groaning on a Bed Of Agony.

In the throes of rheumatism. which has
reached the infamnatory stage, the invalid
has Just cause to deplore the inefficiency of
medicines which could neither uproot the
disease at its outstart, nor avert its dreaded
climax Hostetter's Stomach Btters is a
medicine which, without the dangers attending
the use of some of the ordinary specifics for
this malady, is infinitely more searching and
effective. Used at the start it checks the
progress of the disease, and expels, or neu-
tralizes, the rheumatic virus in the blood.
Who so takes it incurs no risk, and is sure
to be benefited. Valuable in rheumatism,
it is equally efficacious as remedy for
neuralgia, liver complaint. Indigestion, chills
and fever, debility. and inactivity of the
kidneys and bladder. 1t NAV, also, be relied
upon to promote sleep and appetite.

What True Merit viii Do.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's Ger
man Syrup within few years. has astonished
the world. 1t is without doubt the safest and
best remedy ever discovered for the speedy
and effectual cure of coughs, colds. and the
the severest lung troubles. 1t acts on an en-,
tirely different principle from the usual pre-
scriptions given by physicians, as it does not
dry up cough and leave the disease still in
the system, but on the contrary removes the
cause of the trouble, heals the parts affected
and leaves them in purely healthy cond-
tiou. A bottle kept in the house for use
when these diseases make their appearance,
will save doctors bills and long spell of
serious illness. A trial will convince YOU Of
these facts. 1t is positively sold by all drug
gists and general dealers in the land. Price

Every democratic federal employe in
this city and throughout the State, says the
Philadelphia Press, so far AS known, has
received q circular from the Democratic
Committee indicating that contribution
to the democratic campaign fund will be
necessary. and the amount expected is
stated. This is one of the horrible prac-
tees of republican committees in former
years against which virtuous and indig.
nant democrats have always made the
most boisterous complaints.

October.

These October days. with their invigor-
ating air and sunshine, are among the
best of the year. We seem to gather
health and strength with every day that
passes. 1t is delight to be outdoors
and feel the warmth of the sun deliciously
tempered by the cool atmosphere. The
morning walk as the sun comes over the
eastern hills is delightful and not less is
the pleasure IN looking up at the heavens
in the evening as the moon makes her way
among the stars and covers the earth with
her silvery radiance. Mind and body
seem to be at their best in October. The
scholar bends over his daily task with a
clearer head and better will to work
than at any other time of year. The la
borer feels added strength in his bones
and muscles. and an inspiration as he tolls
that carries him through the hours with a
happy heart and without the lassitude and
WEAKNESS experienced in July and Au
gust. Minister and layman unconsciously
lay aside the cares that have oppressed
them. and mirgle together with lighter
hearts and kindler feelings than in the
sultry season. There is a glory in the
sky. a spirit in the air. earth and water,
visible to those who have eyes to see, and
felt by all. helpful, healthful, elevating,
rendering life sweeter and more joyous,
and bringing this temporary home nearer
to that which knows no ending.
What magnificent panorama October
untolds. Every Hill and valley is aglow
with a richness of coloring that no art can
hope to initiate. Far as the eye can reach
on every side the trees present gorgeous
appearance, An unseen hand has painted
them with dyes of every hue, all so skill
fully wrought and mingled as to produce
the finest effect and the most perfect har-
moay. The grass changing to russell. the
golden fruit among the fading leaves. the
yellow stubble, the mellow light resting
upon the landscape, these all harmonic
with the scarlet of the flaming naples
and the various colors of the woods run.
ming from the dark green pine to the yell
low of the beech and oak and the delicate
tints of the poplar and ash.
All months of the year are good and
bring their blessings, but IN our opinion
October is the best of any, that which
brings us nearest to the beauties and boun-
ties of Nature. and nearest in thought and
feeling to that other world of which this
is but the portal.

Uranus is morning star in October. Jupi-

ed for observation of any Of the planets dur
ing October. This beautiful planet may be
easily found, for Castor and Pollux are on

is the only bright star between them. Venus

The Business situation.

There is no material change in business
affairs. There is steady increase in the
volume of business, but not very striking.
For the third week of September the earn
ings of forty three railroads show gain
of AZ per cent compared with last year.
The exports from New York for the past
four weeks show an increase of 4.8 per
cent compared with last year. and the i'm.
ports an increase of IL per cent. Iron
manufacture has so improved that the
price has advanced to $3.50 for No. l
compared with year ago an advance OF
12.1 per cent. Cotton prints are 9 per
cent higher than year ago, but cotton is 8
per cent lower. Tin is go per cent high
err. lead 8 per cent higher, and copper 80
per cent higher. but oil, more important
product. is 37A per cent lower. Lard is
~ per cent higher, and turpentine 10 per
cent. but wheat is - per cent lower, corn
Al per cent lower, oats 20.5 per cent low
er, and sugar 1876 per cent lower. These
facts compare with an advance Of 237
per cent in the average price OF stocks
since year ago.
The September cotton reports show thai
the weather has been good for picking
and that the crop is being gathered rapid
ly, but the expectations for top-crop are
less than they were month ago. Ship.
ments of the new crop continue light, be.
ing about $1,000 bales behind last year
The stock OF print cloths has been reduced
to IA 900 pieces, as compared with $685..
900 pieces in 1885.
The improved condition of affairs is
shown in the decrease in failures. During
the nine months ending September 80. the
total failures in the United States and
Canada were 1882. against 1923 in 1885,
and the liabilities were 10000 as
compared with 800, 900. 900 last year. The
Financial Chronicle shows that 1853 new
banks have been organized this year and
that since 1882 ISL banks have come into
existence, with an average capital of about
$l07 900. A good many banks have gone
into liquidation or retired their circulation,
but the capital and total number of nation
al banks increase regularly.

Strikers who were Knights could not get
