Sea Water as Medicine.

When a bather at Coney Island the
other day accidentally swallowed big
gulp of sea water and then rushed off to
get drink of whisky to take the taste
out of his mouth, successful medical
practitioner who had witnessed the per-
Torrance said:
THAT man is either greenhorn or a
fool. Otherwise he would have taken
merely sip OF lemonade and allowed
the sea water to do its work AS mat
ter of fact, one of the most beneficial fea-
lures of a sea bath is the salt water in
advertently swallowed by bathers. Its
wonderful tonic for the liver, stomach
and kidneys. In many cases it will cure
biliousness where all drug preparations
have failed. 1t is peculiarly effective in
ordinary cases of Indigestion, disordered
stomach and insomnia, and has been
known to produce excellent results in
many cases of dyspepsia. Sea water is
full of tonic and sedative properties. 1t
won't hurt anybody. Two or three big
swallows of it would be of positive bene-
fit to nine bathers out of ten. 1t isn't
palatabla or tempting, but neither is
quinine or calomel. You never see an
old sailor who is bilious, dyspeptic or a
victim Of insomnia, and why? For the
reason that an ocean of good medicine
spreads all about his ship, and he doses
himself copiorsly with it whenever his
physical mechanism becomes the least
bit dcranged. New York Herald.

bulky for one arm load, double trip!

When the shocks are finished, exactly
nine hills stand in each corner of thu

Agriculture News and Notes.

According to the department returns
wool growers in the United States are
increasing the average weight of fleece
on sheep. The average fleece weighs SO
pounds, an increase of about three-quar-
tiers pound. The range is from 2.S
pounds in Moth Carolina to pounds in
Wyoming.
The prospect is for an apple crop be-
low an average again.
Important improvements are in prog
ress at the New York state fair grounds,
Syracuse.
A new forage plant is reported from
Japan. 1t is said to grow fast and bear
large leaves, making two crops in one
year. This new plant is being tried in
France, where it promises well.
A new enemy to the potato bug has
been found in several counties in New
York. 1t is about twice as long as the
potato beetle, but has thinner body.
1t stings the potato beetle larvae and
soon destroys their life.
Estimates made by the Mark Lane
Express on the English and French wheat
crops indicate that both the United King
dom and France will have to be much
larger purchasers than usual of wheat.
Hay having been listed on the New
York Stock Exchange, it may be specu-
lated i'll now.
The South American trade requires
immense implements in the way of steam
plows, harvesters. exc.
A company has been formed in Gin
oinnati for the purpose of baling hay for
shipment TO France.
