A postmortem examination revealed the fact that (ho animal had' quantify of horeesboe nails in her stomach. One of the nails had forced its ay to the heart and imbedded the point about half an inch in that organ. It will pay to screen ashet better rith a fine gravel screen, and bo done very rapidly, too.

If there is not a large quantity, it can be done by the usual hand sievn in a barrel with a cover.

The coarse pH or clinkers can bo used for road-making, for walks, to fill holes, etc. The coal should be picked out and burned. A movement is on foot in Texas to accomplish what far-seeing men have long urged as an agricultural necessity of the futi re.

It is to put an end to the absorption of small farms into large on OB. Smaller farms within the working ability of the average farmer and more of them is the reform, desired. The farmers of Harrison county, Texas, propose to divide their large plantations into small farms, and to offer them to actual settlers on the installment plan, believing such action will soon convert idle lands into profitable farms and fill up the country with thrifty tax-payers. It is well when one has to troy seeds to order them early before the seedsmen get busy, and especially so if they are to come from a considerable distance. Nearly all the seedsmen publish catalogues which they are very willing to serd to such as will make a good ueo of them, and from these one may make such a selection as he needs for farm or garden.

It is better always to deal only with reliable men, those who mean to be honest and deal fairly. Mistakes will often occur and disappointments como with the best of men, but they are reduced to a minimum when onlv reliable men are sought after. Try new things rather sparingly. Hold fast the good old ones. Every man who can, should raise his own seeds and then he knows what he has got and will be reasonably sure of a good crop.

It is said to be almost impossible for persons who are not experts to detect the difference between oleomargarine and dairy butter. Oleomargarine i 1 ardcr and firmer than butter usually, will not melt in hot water with equal readiness. It looks and tastes liko butter, Lowever, and is undoubtedly eattn as such by thousands of fastidious people. That it is often vile in composition we are assured by those who have enjoyed opportunities of testing it. A quantity was recently sent to the office of the Western Rural, and the manager of that journal had it subjected to microscopic examination.

It was discov ercd to be fill by to the last degree and swarming with living animalculro. The verdict rendered was that it was the foulest mess ever set before human beings for consumption. Two facts concerning sorghum; which were made known by Prof. Silliman in nddrcssirg a recent meeting of the society known as the "New York Farmers," will surprise those readers who aie conversant only with the modern American record of the plant. One is, that its antiquity is greater than that of a1 most any other plant, its history hav iug been traced farther back than that of either wheat or barley.

Prof. Silliman also stated, on the authority of the governor general of the presidency of Bengal, that porghum is the staple food of tho inhabitants of India instead of rice, which has been commonly supposed to hold that place. It appears that whereas only 40,000,000 of Hindoos along the coast live on rice, 300,000,000 in the inferior subsist mainly on sorghum. The increasing value of sorghum in this country was shown by the fact that it could be grown in every part of the Union, and that the methods of extracting the 3 nice had been brought to such perfection as to render them no less reliable than the processes for trea'ing sugar-cane. Among the errors in the culture and handling of sorghum which had been ascertained and corrected, tho professor mentioned that of harvesting it before perfect maturity, and also the practice of allowing it to lie for days or weeks after cutting before it was put through the mill, whereas this Bhould be done wi'hin twelve hours after gathering.

Commissioner Loring, on the same occasion, raid that last year there was made from sorghum in this country only 550,000 pounds of Bugar and gallons of molasses, while from sugar-cane the product was 273.000,000 pounds of sugar and 15,000,000 gallons of molasses. It as his belief, however, that the real value of the sorghum crop was at last becoming known, although much work still remained to be done in promoting its cultivation. liATJEST RECEIPTS.

rw.l 1 4- stupidity in those who do not know the consequences (for over and over again warning ha been given) and to wickedness in those who do. Nineteenth Century, A Clergyman's VIcttk. The opening lecture of a series by the Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix was given recently in New York.

The general sub ject of the course- is "The calling of a Christian woman and her training to fulfil it," and tho topic discussed first was 'The Place of Woman in this World." Women are, he remarked in many respects more competcut than men, and examples are numerous enough Bay in literature of her admirable abilities. Still, there are points at which even the best women diverge, and at which some unconsciously got astray, and the priests, who are spokesmen and mouthpieces of the church, and ought to be able to help forward a solution of those entanglements by declaring her mind on some points. We aro brought at once to le question of the place of women in the world what God meant her to do, what he did not mean her to do a theme of perplexing fruitfulness because opinion of thinking people vary bo widely concerning it Indeed, it is a part of the general restlessness and upsetting of our times, which boast nevertheless of the general, illuminative, and aggressive intelligence, while the multitudes are found disputing everything, doubting much of what was once universally believed, and groping painfully in bewilderment. Our own religion, in which we have been trained, is, of course, assailed on all sides, and Protestantism itself, once lauded on all sides as the source of all civil and social blessings, is now arraigned, put on. its defense, and bidden to show whether it has not failed in every one of the objects demanded in a religion, as a teacher of the ignorant a helper of the weak, and a comforter in sorrows.

Modern innovators run now on two linos Woman's rights and duties, and woman's traiuing and education. It is insisted that they have rights that somebody is withholding; that they might do and get to be doing work which, under existing restrictions, legal or moral, they are now not permitted to do. But it is clear that in this question of rights is contained the deeper one of power. There can be no right to do and be until God has given the power to do and be, and bo the question of woman's rightB and duties brings us at once to the question of her place in creation. For to create, to make to be, is to enter into, in some degree, the power and force of the Divine; and each created being varies in this respect; and the question is, What did God give to woman in her creation? What are her power and force, her place? That will determine her duties and rights.

We are led to the same point the moment we begin to think of a woman's training. For we- are all agreed that education does not consist in a mere cramming with facts, an idea happily exploded. It is rather the drawing out, the educating what is already within, the developing a character and life power. But what are the powers? What is tho nature? What is to be educated? For what object, to what end, how? All thisbringsnp the questions, What is a ttrnmnii ec Ci-rxrl rrtarlo Vior? What. IB TlfiF place in the world? And since we hear such glib talk about "higher education," this may be suggested iu advance that tho question about education is whether it starts with, the truth about woman's place, "work.aikl calling; and if it does not, butprioeeds on some untrue theory, malaag her what she was not meant' to then it is-aot a higher education, but a lower, whatever the outward form may be.

It thus lowers her and helps on the disorganization of society. The question about tho piace and work of -woman fn the world is realty a question about her place and work in her homo and in society. For the creation of man and the existence of society, according to the Bible account, are one in time; us soon as thcie was a man and a woman they made a home, and as soon as thoro were many homes they formed by aggregation social life, the larger life of the s'ate. And so the question of woman's educa'ion is a question of fitting her for her duties in her home, firstly; and, secondly, if "for any reasonable need sho need go beyond'it, for her work is a system whicn is based on the home, and resolvable finally into the home. So, then, whatever works toward destroying the homo or detaching woman from the home idea, any unfitting her for the place in the home, any making her, through ease, selfishness, or luxury, or curiosity or overesteem, or ambitious rivalry of man, disloyal to tho spirit and ministry of home is, practically, hor dethronement, her degradation, overturning tbo settled order of tho world, and flouting tho ordinances and dertrec of God himself.

And the true measure and glory of a woman is to order, comfort, and adorn her home.

TEMPERANCE. A few weeks ago Chief Officer Karlowa of the Cimbria, talking with a $re'porte in New York aboutthBouatom of issuing grog to seamen, said that this ous-tom still prevailed on the line to which his vessel belonged. John Havens, of Water Mills, Xi. Ii, returned home one night the influence of liquor. During the night he got out of bed and took from a closet shelf a bottle containing ammonia, of which he took a strong pull, mistaking: it for whisky, and came near dying; A large quantity of rum was carried until recently in many vessels, rations of that spirit being served out to the ship's company daily, as agreed upon in the articles.

This custom has lately been abolished in mast of the mercanfalo marine sorvices, with great advantage both to the owners and their employes. The British Medical Journal says tlNat considerablecDtamotiou Has been caused in tho beer drinking world by a statement that, owing to tho scarcity of. hops, such articles as columba root, chamomile, quassia, and chirotta are likely to bo "largely used in producing "the flavor dear to the consumer of bitter." Mrs. Mary G. Leavitt lectured recently in Springfield, upon the "Economics of the Liquor Traffic." She took tho statistics from the house of correction in that city and from other cities of the satc, showing that from 95 to i)7 per cent, ot the crime is caused by drunkenness.

She said the churches were only partly awakened to the work, and uied hor audience to studv the statistics of drunkenness and tho tcien-titic facts about the uo of alcohol, and make a no license sentiment in time for the next cction. Try Mr3. J. Owen Foster, thft noted advocate of prohibition, was iu Ohio, when the decision of the Iowa supreme conrt, touching tho validi of the constitutional amendment, reached her.

Tho courtesy was granted, and a moderately large audience came out to hear her. She expressed great disappointment and chagrin at the final result by which so much hard work had been io3t to the temperance people, bu. declared that this was no timo to halt, and that the whole thing must bo done over again. Speaking for herself, sho declared that the people must meet the question an I cirry it on to a successful issue. Meantime, the legislature should be convened and tho wino and beer clause of tho present statute repealed, thereby securing, without further delay, all that tho amendment would have given.

The matter of the constitutional amendment could then be taken up, passed and submitted to a vote of the people for their adoption in the form 2re3cribed.

The lawaud order pe pie have undertaken to enforce Sunday observance to tho extent of stopping saJooQ traffic on that day. They obtained direct and positive evidence against Frederick Haak, an ex alderman, and I. Martin, a local politician, of selling beer on Sunday. Application was mado to the excise commissioners to revoke their licenses. Able counsel was engaged on both sidos, Congressman-elect J.

Thomas Spriggs appearing ior the saloon keepers, and S. S. Morgan fur the people. After a proti acted contest in the case of Haak, the commissioners, by a unanimous vote, revoked his license. The commissioners are Griffith M.

Jones, wholesale fruit and provision dealt Georgo Shattafer, barber, and Th McNeirney, liveryman. The last named was, it has been understood, appointed as the represent ative of the liquor men, and especially of cne largo wholesale house. After the revocation of Haak's license, pressure wai brought to obtain a reconsideration but, though Commissioner McNierney weakened aud moved to return the license, the majority stood firm, and not only refused to re-license Haak, but convicted Martin and called for his Tho ealoou keepers, of whom there aro more than 300 in the city, seem to have determined to make common cause in behalf of their brethren. Commissioner McNierney's chief backer is interested in a brewery. It is asserted that the sale3 of this brewery fell in one week from 300 to 20 barrels, and at the liqnor house the falling off iu business was from fifty to seventy five per cent.

Theso nre probably but the decline was so marked as to leave no room for donbt'that the saloon keepers have determined not to patronize the man whose representative repented too late as voting iu accordance with the law and the evidence. Commissioner Shattafer is made to feel tho weight of tho saloon men's displeasure by the withdrawal of patronage from his barber shop. The third commisfioner is not so exposed to boycotting, but so far as practicable is made to feel tho saloon keepers' displeasure. It is expectod that the matter will culminate in an active municipal contest iu March, and the election of a mayor if the liquor interest can have its way who will, as opportunity offers, work in their interest. Death.

A Philadelphia physician has made a special Btudy of the phenomena of death, both through, his personal observations and those cf and his conclusion is that the dissolution is painless. "I mean," he explains, "that it approaches as unconsciously as sleep. The soul leaves the world as painlessly as it raters it. Whatever be the cautes of death," whether by lingering" malady or sudden violence, dissolution comes either through syncope or asphyxia. In the latter cose, when resulting from disease, the struggle is long protracted, and accompanied by all the visible marks of agony which the imagination associates with tho closing scene of life.

Death does not slriko all the organs of the body at the pamo timo, and the lungs are tho last to give up tho performance of their Junctions. As death approaches the latter gradually becoms more and more oppressed; hence the rattle. Nor is the contact sufficiently perfect to change the black venous into the red arterial blood; an unprepared fluid conseqnently isues from the lungs into the heart, and is thence transmitted to every other organ of the body.

On a recent trip by a representative of this paper to the city of Haverhill, a most important incident occurred, which cannot foil to be of the greatest interest to all, and especially to our lady readers. The newspaper man met a lady a tritlo age with luxurious white hair that contrasted strikingly with piercing black eyes. She possessed a straight, full habit, womanly, but commanding, combined with manners wholly, lady-like, and yet pro-nonnced.

Any acute judge of human nature could see at onco that he was in the presence of an unusual personage one destined to accomplish more than most of her sex, and to exert an influence fur reaching in its power. This lady was Mrs. M. Wingate. Almost from childhood she his taken a special interest in the bodily troubles of her fox aud has probably been more successful in relieving suffering and sarins lives than any other woman in America.

In loed, she seems to have been to women "what Nightingale and Dorothy Dix wero to the suffering soldiers. Tho ances of won-en who were in the greatest agony and apparently beyond tl.o reach of human that she has restored to 1 ei'th and happiness, are almost innumerable, and it was only natural that the scribe should become spec ally interested and wish to converse with her more in detail. "How long have yoa 1 een engaged in tho practice of mediciue, Mrs. "Wingate?" "For more than twenty-five years." "Along time, certainly.

I had practiced for years previous to that time but thought it desirable to receive another diploma, which I did without any effort." Your experienc2 with the miny and serious diseases of women having beon so extensive must also bo valuable. Can you give me Bome facts regarding them." I find that woman seems born to suffering, and where she avoids it, it is by reason of some care on her part or owing to some special renewing power. It is true some women go through life unusual suffering, but they are none the less in danger, for there are critical periods all along their pathway when the utmost precaution is required. The innumerable complaints called female weaknesses; the irregularities of hfo and changes of the system all indicate the perils which hang over every woman's career, and which, unless attended to, may re sult disastrously." But is there no way by which these terrible troubles can be avoided?" "That has been tho problem for years. Tho habit-, of life and tho demands of fashion are clearly at war with the health of women.

I havo been, perhaps, unusually successful in my treatment of their troubles, but there have been many cases that seemed specially stubborn. I recall one in particular. I had exhausted all tho usual expedients and the results were not satisfactory. I became worried over the case and really did not know what to do, but finally thought I would try something out of tho usual hue. I had heard a cortain remedy recommended very highly and so I procured some and made a chemical analysis of it.

I fouud it was perfectly puro, and tint tlio ingredients were unusually valnnble. So I began giving it to my patient, changing it. however, into a bottle of my own. To my great joy it seemed to have an almost immediate effect and a complete euro was tho result. Since then I have used it constantly inmy practice and have cured every form of female weakness, as well as displacements, dropsical tumors, cellu dropsy and all such troubles.

I have also nsod it with the best results in cases of pregnancy and gestation. Indeed I have found it of untold value and benefit.

Many 01 my fricads weU know that I have been very severely afflicted with heart disease for a number of years, and have suffered from it as-only those can surfer who havo that disease; It reduced my strength so low that I could scarcely walk across room, and the loast exertion rendered me so short-breathed that I dared scarcely move, and life neemcd very burdensome. I was treated for my malady by the bost physicians, and derived no benefit from their treatment or prescriptions untU I was advised by my family physician to use Hunt's Remedy, a3 my trouble wa3 caused by inactionof my kidneys, which affected very seriously tho action of my heart. I commenced taking it (having little faith in it or i any other medicine), and it has helped mo wonder-j uUy, and I am now a great deal better, and have been ever since I began its nso. In fact, I have taken no medicine that has benefited me so greatly. My breathing is easy, and I have gained in strength so mnch that I am able to do my housework: I cheerfully recommend Hunt's Remedy to all who may be afflicted as I have been, or who aro suffering from general debility and nervous prostration.
