The Supreme Court of the United
States has decided that State Legisla-

such legislation may destroy what has

business, The decision was upon the
validity of the Pennsylvania statute
making it unlawful for any person 10

act was valid; that the Legislature has an
undoubt-d right TO suppress the sale or
manufacture of any Article II may regard
as eiudicis! 70 the health of the public.
Judge Harlan, who read the decision of
the court, held that it was necessary TO
inquire whether the act was wise or other
wise That is a matter for the people " no
elect Legislators to determine. What
ever may be thought Of the wisdom or
propriety of the legislation in despute.
there can be no question about the right

State to regulate its own affairs.

Extract from the New York World-A Most
Wonderful Remedy.


81 have been sufferer from nervousness and merry
prOstration for years and have tried many things
but without the least good. Hearing so much about
and others whom IL cured at last decided TO take it.
Its effects are really almost magical for II Immediately
takes away that nervous restless and weak feeling
sense of exhaustion and restores to perfect
diuon Of health. 1t is a great boon and wonderful
blessing to nervous people. LUCIR WERNER"
This wonderful remedy, whose praise is upon
eyerybody's lips, must be the most marvellous in
It's curative powers of any remedy ever dscOV-
cred. We hear every day of remarkable cures of
nervousness, nervous weakness, exhaustion, par
aiySiS or other nervous diseases effected BY this
great nerve tonic and restorative Here per
son rescued from the grave, was Mrs Annie
Donovan, of Attawaugan, Conn; there a case
saved from that terrible disease, insanity, was
Mr.. w. G. Miles, of 10 Blue Hill Avenue, Boston,
Mass: again cures Of paralysis of years stanL-
ing, like that of MIR. Alexander Horn of The
Marine Asylum. Philadelphia, Ia, who had not
been able to walk before for years; restoration
like the case of Mr.. James BOwn, of q Market
street New York City. Cures of sleepeS ness,
with nervous and physical exhaustion, are N"ri
frequent, the wonderful cure of Mrs. W. +. Able
of 10 Afllack street. Hartford, Conn. being Oniy
one among thousands. Altogether, the reuIaI k
able powers of DR.. Greenc'S Nervura Nerve Tone
in curing all forms of nervous diseases like the
above, and restoring 10 health sufferers from
nervousness, nervous weakness, nervous debility
dependency, depression Of mind, hear!ache
trembling. numbuCst j.. PERSIA, indigestion con
StIpaIlO the opium "li' raj habit, &c have
demonstrated it to be remedy of wonderful
powers and at times Of almost miraculous effects
in curing disease. 1t is not TO be wondered at,
therefore, that drug stores everywhere are Owe
whemed with orders for this remarkable remedy.
and it is almost impossible to supply the de
mandS from the hundreds Of thousands Of SUI
ferers from nervous diseases All druggists keep
the remedy at 81 per bottle, and its low price
places it within the reach of all. If your drug
gist does not have it, he will get it for you

THE OTTER AT HOME.
The Habits of Great Four Footed Fisherman
Cornh,ll Magazine.

Inc HaOltS OF Great f0ur- footed Fisherman.
Cornhll Magazine.
Nothing is to be seen yet in the water or
on the banks. fash OF bright blue
shoots over the water and vanishes in a
hole in the bank. 1t is the kingfsher,
who has made his nest in a spot secure
from harus. The bird has taken my at
tention from the tree in the water for a
few moments. There is the otter sitting
on the grey trunk in the warm sunlig hit.
He is near enough for me to study his a p
pearance and oil his movements well.
Like large cat he looks, which has been
thrown in the water and crawled ont.
Some people think that the fur of the OF
ter throws tae water off like the feathers
on a ducks back. That is not the cas-
his fur portects his body in different
way. Any one who has seen water rat
come up on the bank after a dive will
have good idea of the general appear
ance of the Offers fur. Now he gives his
coat shake and combs his fur bit with
his short webbed feet. That powerful
tail of his hangs ont of the water, and his
head Is turned in my direction, looking
for the moment just like that of an infur
lated tiger IN miniature, as with ears
drawn close to his head, he snarls and
shows his teeth. When properly treated,
the otter is easily converted into an affec-
tlonate and playful pet. For those who
may not be familiar with him, let me de-
scribe his appearance more exactly. He
Is tritie longer than cat, having a very
cat-like head, only fiatter, which is pro
Vided with fine set of teeth, and he can
use them with terrible force for his size.
On his lip he has lot of strong bristles.
His eyes are small, but have G. watchful
look about them; the neck Is almost as
thick as his chest; his body is long and
round; the legs are very short, strong and
flexible; the toes webbed for a great part
of their length, end the claws on them
sharp. The tail is thick at the root and
tapers off to point; it is very powerful,
as | said before, and is, in fact, his swim
ming machine. In color he is dark brown,
| as a rule, with the sides of his head and
throat brownish gray. He has been sit
ting in the sunlight while have sketched
his portrait; now he thinks hs will get a
little more in the shade: so, he will get q
peculiar Looping gait, he moves further up
the trunk and rests by the side of large
limb. Now he shows himself to perfec-
ton, and have managed to slip down oa
the boards of the peir, where l lie, fiat as
hounder, and can study the animal,
where an animal shows himself most nat
urally, in his own home. There is Just
little swell in the water, and his mate
shows her head above the surface. She
has her feet on the trUnk, and is Just
about to join her lord aud master, when
moorhen flies from the meadow into the
the river, squetting with her feet in the
water. That is enough, with one gliding
plunge, leaving not trace on the surface,
they are under the bank in their own
quarters.

Culture of Celery.
PraIicAl Farmer.

Celery is one of the most delicate and
wholesome of vegetables. Every farmers
garden ought to have q bed of celery.
Gardens do not agree as to the best meth
DDS of culture any more than do wheat,
farmers agree about the best methods of
wheat culture. But there are certain gen
eral principles that will apply and need
not be discussed.
Celery seed does not terminate and
grow rapidly. 1t needs moist soil con-
tlnuously. And whether one uses boxes
or out door beds, the soil must be old,
fine and rich. In Kansas the seed may
be sown any time from the 1st of March
until the LIST of May. Choose the seeding
time to CORES pond to the time when the
matured plant is to be used. If you want
the plant for early use, then SOW early, if
late, then SOW late. Be particular about
the soil In which the seed is sowD. Re-
member, it must be old, fine and rich, and
if the outdoor bed is used it ougat to be
deep. For some reasons 1t is better to
use boxes. They will be better cared for
probably, and that is the principal reason.
If boxes are used, make them about 4
inches deep and fill with soil above
described, SOW the seeds thinly in rows,
then press the soil down compsctly and
cover lightly with rich, fine earth, like
leaf mold. The ear5h must be kept
moist. If the seeding is done early the
boxes should be exposed TO the open air
every mild day, but taken under shelter
at night and kept in temperature above
freezing. If the seeding is not done IN
I'll there Is no further danger of cold
weather, then the seeding ought to be
done in an outdoor bed. Don't forget to
keep the surface moist all the time until
sitter the plants are veil set The seed
bed ought to be sheltered spot, so as to
protect the bed from wind and heat.

About Mammoth Glover.
Kansas Farmer.

You have got me in trouble by stating
that l raised Mammoth clover and might
have seed for sale If l had seed for sale
the notice wosld have been valuable
advertisement for me; but as 1 have not,
please allow me space to publicly answer
numerous correspondents
raised no Mammouth clover seed in
1887. The extreme drouth and hot wealth
er of the late summer and fall of Sc,
nearly destroying the whole crop; bat
the seed shattered Of in harvesting the
crop of that season made a beautiful
stand last spring, and afforded an excel
lent pasture the whole season, going into
winter quarters in great shape. / antici-
pate good crop the coming season
Now to answer few questions of cor
respondents as to the character and hab-
its of Mammoth clover. Like common
red clover, it is biennial, but from its
habits of heavy seeding, i believe on rich
land it will prove eternal. the old plants

Australian Holidays
Alta Gnlifnrnin

The people OF Australia are pre-emin-
entity pleasure-loving race. Whether
it arises from the geniality OF the climate
or is inherited, it is hard 10 say, but the
fact remains that no opportunity for en-
loyment is suffered to pass by uunoticed.
The regular holidays are almost as nu-
merous as those of the most Roman
Catholic countries, while special holidays
are gazetted by the government upon the
most trivial excuses. Saturday afternoon
and of course Sundays, are among the
regular holidays; then there are the
Queens birthday, the Prince of Wales
birthday, celebrated nowhere else in the
British empire; Anniversary Day, in hon
or of the founding of the colonies; E rght-
hours Day, four days at Easter, a week
at Christmas, apd innumerable bank and
civil days. Not month goes by with
out weekday holiday. Should there be
the laying of a cornerstone of public
building, be it postoffice or railway
station, the district in which il is to take
place has special holiday granted it by
the government. The meeting CT q
racing club, a coursing match or game
of cricket carries always with it a special
public holiday.
