Home Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose and
custachian tubes Microscopic research
however, has proved this to be fact, and
the result of this discovery is that a simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not a snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph
let explaining this new treatment is sent on
receipt of three cents in stamps to pay
postage by y. II. Dixon q Son, cor. of John

The letter reached Nashville in due

was forwarded from Nashville, Tenn,
TO the Third Minnesota cavalry at st.

stead OF taking advantage of the fur
Tough of the Iowa company in Tenn

Sexuality in Atoms.

Mr.. Mason Kline is quiet gentleman
who lived for many years in this city.
He is an enthusiastic member of the Mi
croscopical Society, an honorary member
Of several foreign scientific societies, and
contributes to several scientific journals.
He is an indefatigable investigator. Some
time ago he declared that he had discovered
seXuality in atoms-that is, after eXamin-
ing the smallest fragments of inorganic
matter, iron and other mineral sub
stances, he had discovered certain traces
that led him to believe that all atoms,
animal and vegetable, are either male or
female, and reproduce their species.
The Importance of such a discovery can
not be estimated. If verified, and Mr.
Kinne is confident that it can be verified,
it means the revolution Of science--a new
alphabet for geology, chemistry and nat
tural philosophy.-.Saa Francisco cal.

Dancing at Eighty.Fiye.

The island OF Nantucket is of the track
OF the modern world. The people and their
customs are very unlike those In any other
part OF the world-the "off-isand part" as
the Nantucketers are won't TO call IL.
Old-fashioned customs and habits prevail.
They know but little about the nsw-fangled
manners and methods of modern social life.
They follow the beaten paths of q century
ago, live simple, thrifty, latorious lives, and
furnish little business for the doctors.
They thrive financially and physically.
A visitor at an evening gathering ON the
island, not long since, tells how one lady,
another aged eighty-tive, danced. And
you may take my word for it,n adds thd
visitor, that the dancing WAS ure-enough
dancing, if one might judge from the lady's
snapping eyes, nervous speech and decisive

How a Doctor Missed a Large Fee

The late DIR. Trousseau, a celebrated
Partisan physician, had the reputation of
being exceedingly sharp after his fees,
though he always declined to take any
thing in the nature of a present from his
clientele-perhaps because he thought the
acceptance of such gifts might render it
more difficult for him to exact his honor
arium. Once DIR. Trousseau had been
fortunate enough to cure the only child
of one of the few rich members of the
French aristocracy. When the child had
become convalescent and the doctor was
paying his last visit, with renewed thank
full expressions and numerous appeals to
heaven the mother pressed a small silken
purse into Trousseau's hand. "Thanll
you, madame" he replied, "but, pardon
me, never accept presents" and he
firmly rejected her offer, probably regard
ing both the purse and the appeals as
things of equally problematical value.
''My fee, madame, " he quietly added, is
500" Opening the purse, Nine. la
Comtesse took out the sum named, and,
presenting it to DIR. Trousseau, remarked F:
81 am sorry you do not take presents, the
purse contained $780,"

Gntlerlnr Cornl and snnnrnu.

Gathering of coral and sponges is an i'm
portant industry on the Florida reefs.
Both are frequently found in the same To-
cality. The sponges are found wherever
the bottom is rocky, generally from ten to
thirty feet beneath the surface. Two OF
three dozen sohooners are now engaged in
the work of gathering the sponges, each
schooner carrying two small boats, manned
by a crew of two. When the reef is
reached the small boats put OIL, and while
one sculls the other keeps an eye out for
sponges. A simple contrivance enables
the watchmen to see sponges on the reef
twenty feet or more upder the water On
the side of the small boat long barrel
sort of arrangement is built, the lower end
of which is under water and closed up by
glass head. BY placing his head in this
barrel the watchman can see through the
clear water to the bottom of the sea with
remarkable distinctness. When a good
sponge is detected it is brought up with
an iron hook on a long pole.

PnrifNing Raw Coffee.

Talking with leading wholesale
grocer, the other day, he interested me
not little in describing improved
methods by which raw coffee is now
cleared of impurities before being ground.
1t first goes through roaster. The
roasted berry is considerably mixed with
sand and grit and small stone. This is
the principal impurity of raw coffee, and
the one most difficult to remove. The
latest invention for that purpose is an air
shaft running from the cellar to the garret
of the building in which it is operated
Upward through this shaft current of
air is passed of just sufficient force to carry
the roasted berry to the top door, but not
strong enough to carry the sand and
small stones, which drop into the base
ment As the coffee rises to the top floor,
after being thrown in at the bottom, it is
swept to one side and then sent to the
grinding machine.-NGC York Graphic.

PoT-eRowN STRAWBERRIES.

The so-called potted strawberry plants
are grown by roofing runners in small
pots about two inches in diameter. These
are filled with rich soil and soon become
filed with a mass of roots. The plants
are shaken out of the pots and wrapped
In moss, and are thus sent safely to much
greater distances than rooted runner
plants taken from the beds. They grow
ON when planted without any check, and
when set out in the fall will bear a full
crop the next spring. They are usually
sold for twice to four or five times as
much as runner plants. They are not
ready for distribution until July. A
potted plant set out in July or August
will make several runners which can be
grown in the same way and transplanted
in the fall, and so in the end this is
really the cheapest way to get stock for
fruiting the next season.-NeD York

CULTIVATION oF CURRANTs.

AS rule currantS are not cultivated at
all. They are planted in some out of the
way place, or along fence where at best
they can be cultivated or hoed only on
one side. They are pruned spasmodically,
or not at all, and soon become a tangled
mass of weeds, dead wood, moss covered
trunks, or branches with stunted growth
of shoots on top and the feeblest cluster
OF buds on the -year-old wood. At
best such row of currant bushes can
give only a poor crop of the smallest
fruit. But after the currant worm at.

We passed one end under the Jaws, and
drew through the rings and fastened to a

COVERING SEED.

There are certain principles governing
the termination of seeds and the after
growth of the plants, and not only is it
of great Importance to the farmer to
understand these. but attention to them
is also of vital moment to the plant itself.
Seed must be terminated in the dark
until the young roots are sufficiently
formed to begin to feed, because, if eX-
posed to the light they grow of green
COLOR which does not belong to roots, but
only to the upper parts of the plant
those parts which grow in the light.
Roots having great epidermis cannot
feed, because the green color is prelim-
mary to the formation of bark, which
is meant to exclude moisture and not to
absorb it. When seed are sown broad
cast over the field, and then covered so
lightly as to allow the suns rays to reach
them, instead of forming healthy roots,
capable of imbibing nourishments from
the soil, they become incapable of feed
ing because the mouths of the roots have
grown up sealed, as it were, by the
change to an incipient bark, which, if the
exposure to light continues, finally be-
come q perfect bark, by which their
whole character is changed.
Crops grown from seeds scantly covered
suffer from starvation at the moment of
termination, which is continued by
natural circumstances so long or so far
into the life of the plant as to obstruct
its growth in every stage. The con-
sequences are a feeble plant, having its
growing period thrown into the season
for filling up, and finally its ripening
season thrown into so late part of the
year as to compel it to produce weak,
shrunllen and immature grain at time
beyond its natural time of harvest.
Shallow covering stunts the plant and its
produce, owing to an excess of light at
termination.

may be given in their evening meal.
Mashed potatoes and ground oats at
