A GOOD POINT.

The Government has within the
past eight years declared that it can,
and has the right to, coin from sew
enty cents to eighty cents worth Of
silver into piece which it calls dol
lar, and which it compels debtors to
take as the equivalent of 100 cents
NeaO York Times.
Worse than this, the Government
has within the past twenty-four years
assumed the power of making little
bits Of engraved paper, not worth
half cent apiece, into notes which
it cOmpels debtors to accept as the
equivalent of one dollar or ten thou
sand dollars apiece, just as it chooses
And, such is the delusion of the peo-
pie, that this trash is actually cur
rent for all that it pretends to be,
the same as silver dollars that are
current ut their face value, when the
silver is worth one-quarter less =

PREVIOUS RECORDS PASSED.

No one knows what may be posi-
Bile. Every supposed climax of pos
sibility is passed in time. Cows used
to give milk then the milk increased
in richness up to a point at which it
seemed stop must be made. But
the Jersey COW has passed this point,
and Landseer's Fancy, owned by Mr..
Webster, of Tennessee, gives pure
cream, OF which 81 pounds makes a
pound of butter. 1t is the same
with bees. One hundred pounds Of
honey to a colony was thought to be
as much as bees could do. Then Mr.
Root, Of Mohank, N. Y, got up to
300 pounds per colony, and now Mr.
Hicks, OF Indiana, has got 718 pounds
from one hive, and expects soon to
get up to 1000 pounds from his Cy
prians. One hundred bushels per
acre of corn was formerly thought an
extravagant hope; but now DIR. Laz-
enby, Of Ohio Experimental Station,
has grown 10 separate plots of which
the yield was from 100 to 963 bushels
per acre, and any good farmer will
engage to average 100 bushels per acre
on whole field if the season is not
unpropitious. 1t is a hopeful, en-
cOuraging thought to farmers, that
possibility seems to wait only for
skill and enterprise, and the farmer
who want to excel all previous efforts
has only to set about it in the right
way to succeed. Let our Cobb coun-
ty farmers experiment in these mat
ters.

The following from an exchange is
said to be a valuable remedy for dys-
EMERY. Country people especially
should know that there is no better
and safer remedy for this serious all
ment than the following; One fourth
pint pure cider vinegar, one eighth
pint warm water, mix and stir in salt
as much as will dissolve. Take one
tablespoonful every hour until actions
change. Remember this, for il is as
near infallible as remedy can be.

Intense excitement has been crea-
ted at Ottawa, Ont, by the arrival of
five young huntsmen, who tell of
startling discovery they made in
Rrqle, fifty miles south of the Cana
dian Pacific railway and just north Of
the United States boundary line,
They met farmers family fleeing
from what they said was mountain
on fire. The mountaineer and his
family told such a pitiful tale that
the young hunters gave up their in
tended trip and Investigated the
strange Phen9menon. In tracing the
cause Of the farmers great excite
ment they found that it was evident
ly owing to the snbterranean heat in
the mountains side, which extended
under the river bed. About mile
further up the stream became so hot
that it heated the water until steam
arose from the surface. The atmos-
phere was very warm and the slight
est eKertiOn brought out the prespi-
ration. Close to the spot where the
farmer lived the hunters found the
air almost sitting and the earth was
too hot to touch with the hand. Fur
Their back the mountain side the heat
vas absolutely unhearable.
After climbing lts side ToG about
800 feet the hunters were forced to
return, as the air was simply suffoca-
ting. Animals had left their retreat,
the birds steered clear of the locality
and not living thing was to be seen.
The earth was dry and cracked with
he4t. Dead snakes and yermin with
out number were discovered by the
hunters. The heat instead of dimin-
ishing was found to increase the
higher they went up the mountain
side,
Men we'll acquainted With the ge-
ology of the province declare that the
location of this volcanic area has
been fixed to a nicely. Their theory
