A noted scientist says the smoke

be traced the appearance of diph

more in winter than summer, is be-
cause the windows are closed. Chill

American and English Cars.

Now. the American car and Eng
fish carriage run on two different
principles. The English railway man.
ager expects you to do q great deal
for yourself. He expects you to buy
rug to wrap around your legs. and
you do it. He expects you to buy a
shawl to put around your shoulders,
and you do it. He expects you to
buy q reading lamp if you are to
travel by night, and you do it. He
doesn't provide you with any drink
ing water, as he expects you to buy
glass of beer if you feel thirsty,
and YOU do it. A traveller in winter
in an English carriage sits mufiied up
so that he can hardly move. He
dresses for the occasion as would
if were going to enjoy ar afternoon
sit-down on the banks Of the Detroit
River with the thermometer at zero.
Now. an American doesn't like that
sort of thing. If the car is not hot
enough for him to sit in his seat in
the same costume he would use in
his own house, he travels by some
other road. If the lamps are not
bright, he blows up the conductor,
and if there is not water in the tank,
all that section of country will hear
from him.

Current Farm Topics.

1t is said that the price OF oats mas
not been so low as at the present in
one hundred years.
The net cost of ton of hay in
Michigan last year is said to have
been about four and one-half dollars.
Instead of spreading the raw ma
nure on the fields the Indiana Farm
err would have it first composted.
The United States on an average,
raises more bushels of corn each year
than there are persons in the world.
Recently a special egg train of
twenty-four cars passed over the
Grand Trunk railroad to New York.
The total number of eggs was over
81 100000.
Time was when cotton was liking"
in the South, but a remarkable change
has taken place within the past few
years. Last year the value of the
cotton crop was 1854, 1852 900, while
the value of the combined crop of
corn, oats and wheat was $27l ,234.-
$50.
Farmers in portions of New York
state in the vicinity of the large cities

The robin is bird they have taken

insect pests and for the pleasure oil
its presence around their homes, and
an attack upon its immunities touch

In Brief and TO the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one OF the most complicated and won
delful thinge in existence. 1t is east
ly put out ~ order.
Greasy fooo, tough food sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits, and many
other things which ought not to be,
have made the American people a
nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that they
canenioy their meals and be happy.
Remember:-No happiness with

An Editors G Consolation.

An editor died, and slowly wend
ed his way down owhere he suppos-
ed warm reception awaited him.
The devil met him and said: "For
many years thou hast bornet the blame
for the many errors the printers made
in the papers.-The paper has gone,
alas, for $3.50, and the 81 so, alas has
often failed to come in. The print
ers have bedeviled thee for wages
Saturday night when thou hadst not
one cent to thy name. Men have
taken the paper without paying fer
it, and cursed thee for not getting
up better paper. Thou hast been
called dead-beat by the passenger
conductors when thou hast shown
thy annual pass TO their envlous
gaze. All these things thou hast
borne in silence. Thou oanst not
come in here" And as he did so,
he murmured to himself, "Heaven is
his home, and besides if we had let
him come in here he would have
been continually dunning his delin'
quent subscribers, and thus created
discord in my kingdom. "-Er.

satisfy. The eyes are sunken,
the hands and feet become cold

after few months it is attend

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
SILVER LEGGSLATLON.

The great objection to the various
silver bills which have been introduced
during the present session of Congress
is that silver liz given no fixed value but
is left in the same condition AS any
other commodity, subj ct to fluctuations
and it's value measured by the gold
standard. This is not what is desired
by the masses of the people but it is
just what the gold bugs of Wall street
hive been contendipg for. The adso
cites of the single gold sta ndard of values
care little what legislation is had with
reference to the white metal 80 long as
it's value is huctuating and measured
by the gold standard.
Stewards bill which provides for the
issuance of silver certificates, which
shall be q legal tender for bullion de-
posted ut the minis, and for the repeal
Of the present coinage Act, is fatally
defective for the very good reason that
the price of silver il to be regulated by
the Secretary of the Treasury, hence it
makes silver nothing more than COM
modify subject to the usual fluctuations
of trade. Representative Dunn has in
troduced an amendment to the Banking
bill, introduced 10y Wilkins, which pro.
yides that National Banking Associa-
tions may d,posit silver bullion with
the Treasurer of the United States aud
receive therefor certificates in d. nomi.
nations of So, $40, $40, $50, 500 o.
$500, and also provides for the suspen
sion OF the monthly coinage of silve,
dollars aud authorizes the Secretary of
the Treasury to cause the coinage, from,
time to time, of silver dollars to supply
the demand. This amendment Is sui -
ject to the same objection of Stcwnrt's
hill, which is thut it gives silver no tix,d
value.
The truth of the matter is that every
move which has been made so far in
reference to silver is in the interest IF
National Banks ard the advocn rs tf
the single gold standard; and we are
somewhat surprised that nntor Stew
art, representative of the largest silver
producing Stnte in the Union, should
lend himself to the furthernnce Of any
such schemes. The only proper method
of dealing with silver is to place it on
the rlane to which it naturally belongs
by giving it Unlimited coinage and a
permanent value at 4l21l grains, 900
fine, to the dollar.
