Wake Up.

If you wake up in The
morning with a bitter OF
bad taste in your mouth,
Languor, Dull Headache,
Dependency, Constlpa-
ton, take Simmons Liver
Regulator. 1t corrects
the bilious stomach,
sweetens the breath and
cleanses the efurred tongue.
Children as well as adults
sometimes eat something
that does not digest well,
producing Sour Stomach,
Heartburn, Restlessness,
or Sleeplessness-a good
dose Of Regulator Will
give relief. So perfectly
harmless is this remedy
that it can be taken by
the youngest infant or
the most delicate person
without injury, no matter
what the condition of the
system may be. 1t can
do no harm if it does no
good, but its reputation
for 40 years proves 1t
never fails in doing good.

Pear Blight.

While many of the popular theories re-
garding pear blight contain valuable truths,
it cannot be sal that any one OF these is In
any sense an explanation Of the rationale OF
the disease. The insect theory ia not sup
ported by the facts. The idea that sap is
frozen cannot be sustained because pear
trees blight where there is no frost. ln
fact. the view that any direct chemical
changes in the sap cause the disease must
be given up, because it furnishes no explain.
alton of the fact that it begins at the tips OF
the Young branches and progresses 30 slowly
toward the main trunk.
Ii was not uutil 1880 that the solution OF
the problem was undertaken with modern
methods and appliances and IN accordance
with modern scientific ideas. At this time
Professor I. J. Burril, OF Urbans, Ills, be-.
gan careful study, inocuiating the bark OF
healthy trees With pieces OF diseased bark.
In this way he succeeded in producing the
disease in large number of healthy trees.
Making microscopic examination of the
diseased portions of the trees and the gum
nv exudation he found constantly present
large numbera of minute organisms which be
regarded as the cause of the disease. These
belong to the class of bacteria and resemble
in many respects the germs which cause
various diseases OF animals. Professor Bur
rill's work was not entirely convincing.
Many points were left open, and many OBJ
iactous were not answered, but to him mnet
be given the credit for having taken the
first steps leading to the true solution OF the
problem.
Professor !. c. Arthur, in the reports of
he New York experiment station, has pub
hshed several articles which confirm the
views of Professor Burrill. His work was
done with great care and accuracy, and car.
ries conviction with it. The full details OF
his work cannot be given in the space which
this article must occupy, but the points
which he established are briefly as follows ::
/. He filtered the exudation through
fine filter, and then could not produces blight
by noculating healthy lrees. The unhlter-
ed exudston always produced it. The only
thing which could have been kept back by
IN iiler is the germs, and this gives almost
positive proof that the disease is pot due to
a soluble poison but to germ. To be sti
more certain. he cultivated the germs in
various culture media and found that the
sixth culture would produce the disease.
g Tnis germ somewhat resembles the or
dinary bacterium termo, but the two are
not Identical, for bacterium termo injected
into the trees produces 90 blight. There
is then specific germ to which blight is
due.
Professor Burril did not show how the
bacteria entered the tree, but Professor Ar
thur succeeded in showing that it was at the
tips of the young branches, on the delicate
surface tissues of expanding buds. Profes
sor Arthur's work is generally accepted by
scientific men.
Professor John P. Campbell, Of the Geor.
gia State University, in connection with the
above +tatements says: As to remedies
there is little to be said. Certain conditions
should be observed. Especially the trees
must not be forced by high cultivation.

Profitable Employment" Fraud.

There is an increasingly large class Of opef~
ators who live and WAX fat on money ob-
sained by holding out fraudulent prospects
of permanent and profitable employment.
II is heaTtless swindle, its victims being
mostly honest, well meaning persons who can
Ill spare the sums thus wbeedled from them.
The circulars and advertisements of some of
these sharks are got up in a style to deceive
the very elect a party In the province Of
Quebec forwards one which he received.
1t is in the form of a carefully drawn docu-
ment. with broad seals appended the party
of the first part the sender purports TO con-
tract for three years services of the person
TO whom it is sent, the rate of compensation
being liberal at first, and increasing yearly.
The travelling expenses, to the extent of 81
day, are also to be provided for. The service
TO be rendered is to sell books and ink
At first glance this looks like an offer Of
honorable and profitable employment But
it is specially stipulated that the party of the
second part the agent shall within a speci-
fed time after the receipt OF the circulars
send 50 las payment for the samples There
are many other schemes of similar character,
some of them even more enticing. One Of
them offers large pay for merely lacking up
cards and posters III ones own vicinity, and
going over the ground with horse and
buggy often enough to replace damaged
cards But the prerequisite is that the person
to be 80 employed shall send four dollars, and
afterward testimonials from two residents OF
his own county in favor OF the articles sdver-
tised. The country is flooded with the circu-
lars and advertisements OF these schemes
