The Lost Atlantis.

For MANY centuries there hos been ira
dition of q long lost island called Atlants,s
The Greek geographers located it in tLe
Atlantic Ocean, west of the northwest part
of Africa and the Pillars of Hercules. The
ea-kngs of Atlantis are said to have ln-
vaded Europe and Africa, and to have been
defeated by the Atbenians.
All the legends agree that it was vast
island, of inexhaustible resources, and in
habited by race of superior people. For
sges this island has existed only in legend
AIRY lore. But now, when the light Of mod
ern research is turned full upon the investl-
cation, behold the lost Atlantis at our very
doors.
So the bigoted medical fraternity goes
cropping about in the dark, seeking for an
Atlantis or Escuapius, when if they would
investigate, they would behold the lost At
ANTS at their very door. With their an
:ient text book, case of physic, paper IN
iheir waistcoat giving them license to prac-
Sice, experiment and dose with their injurl-
Ous drugs, cauterlze and perform unneceS-
Jary acts, with no person or laws to hold
Them accountable, they continue their big
oted, unjustihed practice, staring into va
sancy, and imagining that they see in them
selves an Esculapius.
Wrapped in ancient bigotry, they are cry
ing out against all improvements that have
been made in medical science They de-
nounce any new idea advanced by layman
or au opposition schoo e.s a fraud.
Why.
Because humanity will not be benefited
Not at all, but because their specialism did
not make the discovery.
Yet they concede that there is no remedy
known to their materia medica that will
cure an advanced kidney malady and the
diseases arising observation-disclosures many
of them know from GROWING proof that
Warmers Safe Cure will--but unscrupu-
lousy treat symptoms and call them a dis
ease, when in reality they know they are
but symptoms
A few of the more honest physicians ad-
nit that Warmers Safe Cure is a valuable
remedy, and great blessing to mankind,
but say, in so many words, when asked why
they do not prescribe it, that they can not,
according to their code.
Nevertheless, the world is fast becoming
satisfied that the cure for kidney and liver
diseases, in whatever form or condition, has
been discovered, and there is no doubt but
what Warmers Safe Cure and its fame will
live long after such bigotry as we have in
stanced is dead and buried.
The late eminent physician and writer, DR..
]. G. Holland, published IN "Scribners
Monthly" and showed his opinion of such
bigotry, and no doubt was satisfied that At
lantis might possibly be discovered in pro-
prietary medicine, when he wrote editorial
ly, as follows:
Nevertheless, 1t is fact that many of
the best proprietary medicines of the day
were more successful than many of the ply
sicians, and most of them, it should be re-
membered, were first discovered or used in
actual medical practice. When, however,
any shrewd person, knowing their virtue,
and foreseeing their popularity, secures and
advertises them, then, in the opinion of the
bigoted, all virtue went ont of themn

THE DRAFT HORSE.
Its Value to the Farmer Considered by n
Western journal.

western journal.
The farmers principal interest is in
the heavy draft horse. 1t has been
shown to be the profitable horse for
farm use, and to be profitable horse
for city work. 1t, therefore is, in a
sense, a very complete general-purpose
horse. 1t has not been many years
since there was deep-seated preju-
dice against the heavy draft horses,
both as to their use on the farm and
their employment in the city. 1t was
alleged that they were too big and I'M
handy for farm work were devoid of in
telligence, and so on. 1t was claimed
that their feet were not good enough
for city pavements, and there was
time that after a period of use in some
of our cities, the rank prejudice against
them secured their punishment. But
they have lived down all this SANDER,
and to-day find the readiest sale of any
horse in the country. The average far
mer has come to believe that they are
profitable to breed and to use, though
he may not yet have owned any of them.
We believe that the farmer who will
breed these horses will find it profita-
BILE.
There has been one practice that has
been against these horses, and very in
furious to the interests of farmers. and
it behooves us to put stop to it as
rapidly as possible. 1t is stan ding stall
lions as full-blooded animals, when
they are nothing bat grades, and some
times but SHINY related to the breed
that it is claimed they fully represent.
Those seeking the services of stallion
can not be too particular about inquir-
ing into his pedigree. The reputable
breeders and importers may be relied
upon to tell the truth about horses that
pass through their hands, and to tell
all they know about horses where pedi-
grees trace back to their stock. 1t will
pay to go to little trouble and even
expense to inquire into the pedigree of
the horse that is standing in your
neighborhood. 1t will pay the farmer,
too, to make a study of these heavy
draft breeds as they appear at our
fairs and live stock shows Western

RENDERING LARD,
A Method That Should he Given q Trial
by Our Farmers Wives.


A prominent Chicago packer gives
the following directions for rendering
lard so it will be nice and white: Grind
the fat or chop it as you would sau-
sage meat, where you have but small
quantity, using the chopping bowl and
the potato masher. The object is to
get the fat into such condition that
the tissue and fibrine will separate
quickly from the clear fat. Now, by
the mild heat and constant stirring,
melt to the consistency of thin Cruel,
then scatter salt enough over the sur
face to carry down all the scraps. Salt
does not melt in pure lard, and there
fore will not give it a saline tast. Then
allow it to settle, and dip the clear fat
cut into vessel, using strainer, or
into another kettle, so as to remove all
scraps from the bottom. After removal
of scraps, cook for fifteen minutes, so
as to roast any scraps still remaining
in the fat, and your lard is ready TO
put away and will keep as long as
wanted. To keep lard it is necessary
to raise the heat at $50 degrees. 1t
melts at ITO or 120 degrees. Let our
farmers and their wives try the above
method and they will never go back to
the old way Of cooking lard again. Ir
answer to an inquiry as to how to pre-
vent lard fror boiling over while cook
ing, put in a little salt. This is the
best known remedy.-N. Y. Herald.

American Whaling Vessels.

The annual review of the American
whale fishery shows that there are now
LOG whaling vessels owned in this
country, of which twenty are laid up
at home. Prices for the products, ex-
cept whalebone, have been low, and
the right whaling in the Arctic Ocean,
where most whalebone is taken, is be-
coming more and more popular, 50
that now about half the total tonnage
of whaling vessels is employed in that
branch of the service. In the Arctic
last summer there were forty-seven
whalers, slight increase from the
year before, but their average catch
was only about half that of 1887. OF
the American whalers now in service
siXty-three are owned in New Bedford,
twenty-three in San Francisco, eight in
Provincetown, four in Edgartown,
three in Boston, three in New London,
and two in Stonington. Trib-

THE selection of seed is very important
matter. Whether one imports fresh seed
from another farm and district, or continue:
to use homegrown potatoes, q selection Of
the healthest tubers must be made. No crop
benefits more from q frequent change OF
seed than potatoes, and this is all the more
commendable on account of the increasing
liability to disease.

SECRETARIES OF STATE.
VI Ahirty-Six Only Six Have Ever Reaches
ha DrasId.nov

vi Ahirty-Six Only Six Have Ever Reached
the Presidency.
There have been thirty-one Secre-
tarles of State. but only twenty-five
PRESIDENTS, ending the count with
Cleveland. In six instances only has
the office OF Secretary paved the way
Of the incumbent to the Office of Presi-
dent One Secretary became Chief
Justice, and three reached the Office OF
vice President. jefferson held the
office of Secretary of State in Wash
ington's first term. He also held over
into the second term for about year.
he served four years as Vice President
and reached the highest Office in seven
years after he had left Washington's
Cabinet. John Marshall was Secre-
taryof State only nine months. He
vacated the Office to accept that of
Chief Justice. But before making the
change, he was considered rs within
the line of promotion to the Presi-
dency But John Marshall was prob.
ably greater in the Office of Chief JUS
tice than he would have been in
that of Chief Magistrate. He
was not distinguished for execu-
tive ability of political kind;
buthe had judicial mind and won
i$tiw in the office best suited to his
I Ssses and requirements. Three men
who succeeded Marshall in the Office
of Secretary of State became Prest-
deIts. These were Madison, Monroe
and J ohnQ Quincy Adams. Henry Clay
did not thd the way through the office
of Secretsy to the one great office he
had desird 10 fill. But Martin Van
Buren, foud that Office helpful to him,
for he wat from it to that of Vice
PresidenJ5and succeeded jackson as
President.
After tht time the office of Secretary
of State lot some of its potency. For
many year it contributed nothing to
the furthr advancement of the in
cumbent. John Tyler had no less than
five Secretaries of State. Webster was
the most notable of these. But the
office wa in no way helpful to his
Presidential aspirations. The last
Secretary who reached the office of
Presidentwas James Buchanan. Clay
ton, Seward, Everett, Marcy, Cass,
Black, Washburn, Fish, Evarts and
Frelinghuysen were incumbents of the
Office for bnger or shorter terms, and
most of these wore more or less promi-
nent.y named as candidates for the
highest Office. But none of these
found the way to it through the office
of Secretary of State. AS only six OF
thirty-one Secretaries have ever be-
come Presidents, the facts initiate
against the theory, formerly held, that
it is but a single and sure step from the
leading place in the Cabinet to the
office of President. - San Francisco

Approprinteness of Clerks.

Much has been said and written about the
appropriateness of certain clerks in csrtain
places-a gentleman at a glove counter, for
instance, or lady behind the cigar case of a
restaurant. Now let me tell you that those
things regulate themselves better than is gen
orally supposed. The one thing that clerk
wants to accomplish is to create a reputation
in point of large sales. Sex helps in this to
an appreciable extent. One sex prefers to be
waited upon by the other, and as a rule
you will find an Obliging gentleman behind
the glove or the silk counter Of a store more
valuable his employer than a first class lady
clerk. In the same way many Of the incon-
gruities of clerking are readily explained.
Our heads are more level than some people
would suppose, to see US in our surroundings.
What is more, storekccpcrs are just as well
aware Of this natural or sexual fitness of
sales people to special places as we are. 1t
would be well for those who are not to post
themselves on the subject.
The next thing, from our point of view, to
place where there is lots of work and little
trouble is place where by some element of
natural fitness we can make tho annoyance
subserve personal success in the matter Of
sales.-ChicagO News.

A correspondent sent me some time ago an
excellent dog story which he had culled from
a Sunday school paper published here in Bos-
ton. l made an attempt, through my sport
ing commissioner, to trace the anecdot0 to its
source, but we were not successful. Possibly
its publication in this column will meet the
eye Of somebody who can confirm its truth.
The dogs name was Punch, and he is de
scribed as resident of Boston, He had been
accustomed to have three extensive meals a
day, which his master, thin king quite rightly
to better his condition by so doing, reduced
to one meal, per saltum. The result is thus
described
Our dogs first day was anxious and ex-
pectant. He ate his heavy meal, and parked
in vain for his supper. The second was like
unto it; the third and the fourth Punch be
gan to consider. The family, watching that
midday meal ON the fourth day, saw Mr..
Punch divide his portion into two equal
shares. One of these he seized and pushed
under bench, then, returning, devoured the
remainder. At supper time the same per
formance was gone through At breakfast
"his cupboard was bare" but he had pro-
vided for three meals day, and ever since,
like well regulated dog, puts himself upon
