THE VIRTUES OF BUTrERMILK.

Concerning the medical value O.
buttermilk, the Medical Adviser
says that it IS of so much worth that
it has gained a distinct place in
materia medica, and is largely pre-
seribed by the best physicians for
cchast and lung troubles. An e1ces-
sive buttermniai1 diet has seemed to
bring about a cure for Bright's dis
ease. A proper and constant use
of it will greatly reduce and some,
times cure the craving for alcoholic
liquors with which many persons
are afflicted. The craving may be
satisfied and the system benefited
and strengthened instead of weak
ened. Buttermilk alone will often
remedy acidity of the stomach. The
Tactic acid needed in many cases is
supplied by it much more than by
any other drink or food. It is said
to alleviate the oppression about the
heart that so many old people suffer
from, and it should be constantly
drunk by them. lis to a certain
extent 8 stimulant for the entire
system, just what the aged need.

THIS AGE.

The twentieth century promises
to be full of interesting novelties.
We can look on the canvass and see
a whole regiment go through its
drill of the toreador and bull in
deadly conflict. We can hear
Paderewski at the piano and Calve
behind the footlights in Carmen. y
With the mlcrophone we can listen
to the patter of a fy's feet on the
window pane, AID the telephone
reproduces the voice of a speaker
who is q thousand miles away.
These, however, are only stepping
stones to higher things, and though
they are intervals there are still
greater things to come which will
make such achievements small and
insignificant.
Mr.. Tesla tells us, through the
New York Herald, that it may be
possible to see the face as well as
hear the voice of the speaker who is
a thousand miles away. There are
difficulties in the path, but the scien-
tific Imagination predicts success,
and Tesla declares that he has hope.

Life insurance is a good thing

FARMERS SHOULD READ.

In the current issue of the Chau
tauquan the editorial outlook" con
tains suggestion regarding the in
tellectuaI advancement of the farm,
:;lg people which are well Wortt
weighing by all rural readers. The
writer says:
"Our system of common schools
is gradually opening many ways tc
intelligent understanding of the
higher life where intellectual and
esthetical interests go side by side
with the cosrser economies. The
church, the lyceum, the literary club,
and the various social and charitable
establishments are doing their fine
work even in remote rural hooks.
Every competent observer sees and
feels a decided yeering of rural ours
rents toward intelligent considers
ton of what we call culture. The
movement may be slow and falter-
ing; but it indicates no uncertainty.
Bat how shall the way be best
smoothed and this happy change be
most successfully fastened? The
conservative spirit is stubborn in
our sound-hearted and hard-hesded
rural population. Fashions and
traits die hard where the community
does not feel the direct urge and
stress of conventional requirements.
On the farm there is little to pro>
woke inquiry touching the latest
wave-caps of that great sea called
human progress.
A newspaper comes once a week,
a magazine, possibly, once month;
but the stream of the worlds great
throbbing life is scarcely known to
exist; it is but family abumbrated,
as the picture of a picture. Still,
culture and the sweets of it are be-
coming facts within the feeling and
the vision of the youngest genera
ton of country people ID America,
and we may as well fcce the duty of
rightly directing the inevitable re-
form in country life. Education
and by the word we mean book edu-
cation-is the chief factor in every
great social and intellectual change
for the better. Good literature is
not the whole of life; but it is a
of true enlightenment |
The greatest need of our country
people is to read, to learn, to
strengthen and broaden their grasp
of what are the best possibilities of |
human existence. Not so much mere
polite culture az solid wisdom in
ife's lighter affairs is demanded.
Facility in reaching happiness of an
enlightened sort, quick compre>
lension of the difference between
,rudeness and refinement, and
cordial recognition of what o desir-
Ible thing a refined life is, are
NIGHTLY aided by good reading. It

ng and studying as they never read

in farm life is beginning

The Manufacturers Record states
that there is now a broad and pre-
valent spirit of push, vim, grit and
energy all over the South. It needs
two very important factors combined
under a single head, TO develop the
hidden and apparent resources.
That is the investment of home
capital by those who possess it, in
conjunction with capital from
abroad. A sterile soil is barren of
products. A selfish and niggardly
spirit is the foe to development.
The open purse and generous
philantrophy produce the exquisite
blossoms that beautify thu lands
scape, and make the vacant places
throb with the quick pulsations OF
awakened industry.

The William Street Reform club

The William Street Reform club
are engaging in the new scheme Of
pot-metalism, says the Atlanta Con
stitution, on the ground that there
is great need of education on the
fundamental principles of money and
currency" But what the people
want is an object lesson. They are
tired of arguments, theories, asser-
tions and assumptions. They want
to see the republicans restore pros
perity. They want to see the mills
opened to labor, the wheels of in
dustry humming, the farmers gets
ting good prices and laborers good
wages. These results will be COM
plete answer to the arguments of
the silver men; but they are the only
answer the people will accept.

OUR LAWS NEED PRUNING.

81 here assert without fear of sue,
eessful contradiction that the plead
ings, writs and proceedings which
are required under the present prac-
tice act were pruned down and shorn
of the superfuities and unnecessary
rot and nonsense with which they
now abound the expense of litiga>
ton would be cut down at least one
half and the judicial districts of the
state could be safely reduced to
one-half of the present number.
And then to think of the instances
of injustice which have been, and
are constantly being pe-petrated
under color of the useless formali-
ties and technicalities. Can we won
der that the administration of JUS
tice is held in the veriest contempt
by the great body of the people
that the holding of courts is regard
ed as mockery and a farce, and
that the very name of lawyer has
become term of approbr1um in
stead OF, as in former days, title
of respectability? Who can blame
the people for dispising the admins
istration of law when it is based
upon a lot of forms and fct;ons
fastened upon the people of Eng
land four or five centuries ago
and adopted by US, which are not
only inordinateIy expensive, not only
useless, but which are absolutely
productive of injustice? Who can
blame them for hating the lawyer,
when he is the chief actor in a sys-
tenn which, under the name of law
and justice, simply robs them of
their earnings without giving them
any relief whatever ?"-F. W. BAIL.
