L- A Heincdjr of General Utility. ^ ft is among the follies of which the manu­ facturers of many proprietary remedies are gniUy, to term their medicines "panaceas." or to claim for them the quality of panaecas. There is no such thing as a "pnn*cea." which means a remedy adapted to all diseases. This absurdity has never been pei-pstrated bv the proprietors of Hostettrr's .Stomach Hitters. But they do claim, and with justice, tnat it is a remedy of general utility, and this because It restores that regular and vigorous condition Of the stomach, liver and bowels which conduce to the recovery of general health.

The fall is an excellent time for purchasing pure-bred stock, as the prices are then lower than at any other season, for the reason that the breeders are reducing stock before the winter sets in, and are willing to make a reduction in price The money expended for pure-bred ani­ mals is one of the best investments that can t>e made, and gains com­ pound interest fh a short time. ature so high that the hen was com­ pelled to cool them, while the othe£ hen, having eggs that must be heated by herself only, remained closely on her nest. We then changed the eggs, giving the first hen the eggs that had been given to the second hen, I and to the second hen the eggs that j were in the nest of the other. The ' conditions being reversed, the tlrst J hen remained closely on the nest! while the other was compelled to! cool her eggs. This experiment was made with several lots of hens. The conclusions are that the hen is gov­ erned entirely by the temperature of the eggs, and that she will not ex­ pose ber eggs unless compelled to do so by hunger if there is insufficient warmth, but that if every egg con­ tains a chick, or a majority of them are fertile, the animal heat of the bodies of the chicks in the egg will cause the heat to rise above that re­ quired for incubation, just'as happens with an incubator. Of course, their are some hens that are contrary, and others that are driven from the nest by thirst, hunger, veriuine. fright, or some other unfavorable condition, but the chicks assist to hatch them­ selves after the tenth day, and the hen regulates her conduct as much by the conditions affecting the eggs as by her individual inclinations.-- Mirror and Farmer. The Farmer's Cow. From many sources the statement is made that the thing that operates against the dairyman is that the cow he milks is, taking an average, a poor one, and high yields are impossible But then the other question comes up, how comes this dairyman milking such a poor cow? As has been pointed out time and again in this paper, the dairyman has it in his power to elect the kind of a dairy he wants. The cow, her breeding, her yield, and cost of feeding, the farmer has all in his own power of betterment, and the farm­ er's dairy, breeding, feeding, and yield are reflections of his dairy in­ telligence. That a man's dairy only makes 125 pounds of indifferent but­ ter and a neighbor over the fence has a dairy, and a farm of no better producing soil, that makes 250 and often better of butter, is the proof that the man must tlrst be improved before great results can be looked for from his herd. There is no danger of overproduction in dairy produce until there is a general upheavel of the dairy world in general. The Gospel is being accepted in greater proportion than new dairy truth, and it has been centuries even since Luther's reforms were promulgated. The average dairyuan must in some Farm Facte.

Herr Noll, a mechanician of Ber- langen, Germany, has constructed a 1 clock warranted to run for 9,000 years As usually practiced, successive! without winding. D. L. Goff, in this corn growing is very wasteful. It leaves the land naked through the winter, to be blown by winds and washed away by flooaa The graiu, too, is usually sold in the places where corn is the main money crop, and as for the stalks, they are left in the field to be plowed under in the spring, when dried and likely to do more harm than good. But there are other and better ways of growing corn, and under certain circumstances it may be profitably grown for two or three years on the same land. These are where the farmer has good stock to eat the corn, and where both grain and fodder are made the most of. If corn is to succeed corn the following year, it should be sown with rye In the fall, and the rye top dressed in winter or spring with all the manure the corn and stalks will make. This makes the land light and rich on the surrace, but after a vear or two the subsoil will become too compact, and a two years' growth of clover will oest renovate that. Wheat After Hoed Crops. It is not because wheat is so profit­ able. but rather because it js desira­ ble to have short rotations, that the practice is growing of sowing wheat the same fall that corn and potatoes are got off the land. thus kept with some sort of a cover­ ing continuously. The wheat in the fall uses up fertility that would ether- wise be washed away in winter. In this way, too, the land is seeded with clover the spriug after a clover sod has been plowed under and when the soil is full of the fertility that the decaying clover has left. If wheat is to be sown after hoed crops no plowing is necessary. Cut the corn very low and the stubs can be turned under with a cultivator. The tops country, has in his hall an old fash­ ioned clock which, so long as the house is occupied, never runs down. Whenever the front door is opened or closed the winding arrangements of the clock, which are connected with the door by a rod with gearing at­ tachments, are given a turn, so that persons entering and leaving the house keep the clock constantly wound up. T. G. Farrer of Fresno, Cal., invented a clock, the only mo­ tive power of which, he alleges, is the gravitation of the earth, which keeps the clock running forever with­ out winding. This clock consists of a plate glass dial suspended from the ceiling, and all the parts of it that are visible are the two hands, the pivot on which they swing and the dial. In 1840 J. Smith, Leeds, Eng­ land, constructed a clock, the sole motor of which was electricity. He lived to see this clock go for fifty years. Clocks are now made to ruu five years with one winding up. There is a clock in the church of St Quen- tin, Mayence, which is said to have stopped only once during a period of 500 years. --Brooklyn Eagle. The Danger of Dirty Barbers* Clippers.

It Is Bdlewd the Seeret eff Nature Witt Yet Be Solved. M. Moissan's discovery of a method of manufacturing diamonds has natu­ rally attracted the attention of chem­ ists, who are assiduously iabori to improve on the process; though it ia admitted that "much time and labor will have to be expended before marketable-.-ized jew­ els can be produced," their production se^mstobe somewhat confidently an­ ticipated. If so it Will be unfortunate for the possessors of fortunes in these stones. But it has long been believed that in time the secret of nature--how t3 pre duce diamonds--would be solved. M. M tssan, it seems, hit on the idea that if the ordinary forms of carbon c .uld be conve ted into a liquid or gas, ttey might then be made to tolidify as diamonds: but the point was, how to convert the carbon? The inventor, it is explained, "t ok advantage of the pn perty possessed by melted iron of absorbing and diffusing car bon through­ out its mass. He saturated the high­ ly heated iron with carbon by infusing into it a quantity of pu itied *ugar. By suddenly cooling the melted metal, he lormed a solid crust over the still liquid interior. As the mass continued to cool the interior gradually solidi­ fied. but it was prevented from ex­ panding by the rigid exterior. The interior was thus compelled to solidify under enormous pressure. Daring tha process of hardening the carbon solidi­ fied. in part, as diamond." Usually graphite is formed by a coaling of melted iron, and it thus appaars that the transformation of the graphite in­ to diamond depends entirely upon the infusion of the purified sugar. Hav­ ing got so far it seems not unreasona­ ble to believe that M. Moissan and his fellow-laborers in the field of soience-- one which alchemists have sought to explore for centuries past--will go still farther.--London Standard. Something New. One of the most convenient devices lately introduced is a machine for measuring cloth, whethor cotton or woolen: an apparatus which not only takes the length of apiece of cloth, but also records it, yard bv yard, on the margin, one of the chief advantages of the mechanism being that the opera­ tion of measuring never requires to be repeated. That is, the retailer finds the piece he buys marked on the wrong side of the selvage through its entire length, and he ha? only to unfold the last yard to see if the length corre­ sponds with the invoice, and at any sub­ sequent time it can be seen ata glance how much there is left. Thus the whole trouble involved in remeasuring is done away with, and also the liabili­ ty of making mistakes in cutting lengths to supply customers' needs.-- New York Sun. Calms of the Welsh.

Our laboratory in Jamaica was on the side of a rocky limestone hill, hon­ ey-combed in all directions by cracks and fissuros and large caves, all inhab­ ited by big lanu crabs, which came out every night, usually in pairs, to forage around our home. They would climb the steep stone terrace, and the high steps t j our door, where they would stand peeping through the crack of the door and waiting and watch in? until the house was quiet. Whenever wo would look up from our work in the evening we were sure to see at least one gentleman crab, and his wife beside him, standing on tiptoe and cocking their long stalked eye *, on tho watch for a chance to slip in and explore the house. As Boon as we were well settled at our work they would creep Bteaithily in and wandeV everywhere, although they were es­ pecially fond of climbing up the mos­ quito nets to the canopies Over our beds. A crab hunt was the last event of our day, and jt was not without excite­ ment, for while the animals are gener­ ally peaceful and well behaved, they have big, formidable claws, and they always fight when cornered. They cannot be driven out, for while they are, timid and desirous to escape, they neyor go out of the door, but run side­ ways along the walls,' tumbling oved each other in their eagernes-s, until they reach a hiding plac e behind our trunks or under the furniture, when they re­ sist all attempts to dislodge them, clinging to everything within reach and waving their big claws in the most threatening way. I soon learned the way to clear the house is to sweep them with a broom into the middle of the floor before they have time to hide, and then, keeping vhem well away from the furniture and door casings, to hurry them along un­ til they are opposite the open door, and then to shoot them out with a push which sends them over the steps and clear of everything down the hill, for if thev are simply pushed out they hang by the tips of their claws over the wall and out of sight, ready to c:me back as soon as the way is cleared.

Sineo the world-wide diffusion of the tobacco habit its earliest and perhaps original use has been in a great meas­ ure overlooked, savs the Popular Scienen Monthly. "With the ahorigiiico of America smoking and its kindred practices were not mere sensual grati­ fications, but tobacco was regarded as a herb of peculiar and mysterious sanctity, and its use was deepfy and in­ timately interwoven with "native ritos and ceremonies. With reasonable certainty the pipe may be considered as an imploment the use of which was originally confined to the priest, medicine man.'or sorcerer, in wnose hands it was a means of com­ munication between savage man and the unseen spirits With which his uni­ versal doctrine of animism invested every object that came under his ob­ servation. Similar fco this use oi she pipe was its employment in the treat­ ment of disease, which in savage philosophy is always thought to be tbe work of evil spirits. Tobacco was also regarded as an offering of peculiar adaptability to the unknown powers, in whose hands the Indian conceived his fate for good or ill to lie; hence it is observed to figure prominently in ceremonies as incense and as material for sacriflce.

Presi- Vhe Useful Guinea Fowl. That noisy, quarrelsome bird, guinea fowl, with its voracious appe- tito and distinctiveness of flower and kitchen gardens, would not, on general firinciples. seem to be a profitable bird or the poultry yard. It is *o indiffer­ ent a parent that its young have usual­ ly to be hatched out and reared by a foster-mother in' the shape of a hen- turkey. It was with surprise, there­ fore, that a New-Yorker summering in the town of Mcnro \ Me., discovered that the farmers of that region gener­ ally k>?pt a pair or more guinea Uwl* among their other poultry,' This was done for the purpose of keeping ftW&y tho hawks, the boldest of which would not venture to swoop down upon a yard of which any of these mottled, round- bodied, h -lmet-headed fowls wore ten­ ants, Whether it is their belligerent appearance, or strident cry, or mani­ fest readiness to fight that daunts the hawk, certain it is that whenever one of those aerial pirates, reconnoitering a farm-yard from on high, comes earth- w^r l in swift, narrowing circles, it needs only the loud squeak and brist­ ling defiance of the guinea fowl to cause him to remember an engagement in the next township, and to send him scurrying off in haste.--New York sua. ; A Subpoena. A p jrson is bound to obe the iuoa of the law being of his duty as a citizen to enable the court to decide between other citizens.

But in a criminal case the matter is different: here the witness himself, as one of the people, is a par­ ty, and so he is not entitled to witness fees before coming to court, though he may receive them afterward; mileage also is not paid to him as a matter of right.
