Census CuriositiesThe American census authorities expected to find but little trouble in securing satisfactory statistics concerning mines ; but in this they were very much mistaken. One man, to the question of how many animals he employed, childishly replied : " Three niggers and a Chinese cook. Would you also like to know the number of bed-bugs I kill every night V Sometimes answers were delayed by lovemaking. One letter said : " The Secretary has gone up the Lake to see his best girl, and when he comes back he will give you all the information you require." One letter told a tale of misplaced confidence : "In reference to mining, I met a man who told me he wbb an expert. Myself and partner thought we had the right man in the right place, so we hired him, we being only amateurs. Before we through with him he mulcted us out of seven hundred dollars. We didn't get ten dollars' worth of gold out of the mine. I really think the same party knew more about shoeing males than he did about mining." Failure to "strike it rich" was refleeted in many of the. answers, ' The owner of an unproductive mine wrote:—" The name of my mine is the 'T7.B.D ,' and all I can say to your questions as to-its value is to repeat the name. The only thing I ever got from said are a sore.back, a sour temper, and fifteen dollars worth of debts. If you know any misguided man who wonld .like a mine free of charge, refer him to me. I will give him one halt of the'U.B.D— —and for your trouble I will make you a present of the other half." An equally caustic gentleman—who says he is a Harvard graduate and adds " 8.A." to his name—contributes the following : —" In answer to your questions, I would say that, so far as I know, the mine of which-I have the honor to be sole owner has never produced a red cent, although three former owners committed suicide after vain endeavors to make the d thing pay. In order to avoid a similar fate, I have secured a flattening position as chief bar»tender and concoctor of liquid delights, in Billy Scott's popular Art Gallery and Gambling Palace. If you ever come out this way! hunt me np. I will give you the mine." An enterprising New Mexican, bent on finding the precious metal somewhere, writes : II Only the Almighty can get any silver out of my mine. It has all the characteristics of a silver bonanza except the silfer. However, I hope to strike the vein some day; and in the meantime may I strike you for a loan of fiye dollars ?" But the gem of the collection is a misspelled tale of woe from Arizona. The form was returned blank, but contained on the reverse -the following touching communication:—" The superintendent is ded drunk, he allays is,the secretary is in jale for assolt and battery on the ondersined, lam sick in bed from the Effecks. good buy."
SuttorauHaff. Thfi advantages of maturing cream are so well known by~Traec(tesfal batter makers, both at factories and in private dairies that the favor with which the new system of director immediate batter making has baen received is somewhat surprising. : Professor Stewart seems to approve of the system, and he speaks ofthe introduction of the new machine as one of the improvements of the year 1890. The authority referred to says: " The milk fresh from the cow is pat in a machine, and in 20 minates the batter begins to poar out of a spout,such as does the meal from a cornmill. The stream of fine particles of batter passes into a tub of cold water in, which they are washed and hardened, and there is no reason why an addition might not foe made to the machine, by which the batter may be gathered and carried to a batter worker, salted, and worked, and pressed into cakes ail ready for sale. The cost of the machine renders it practically unavailable for small dairies. Bat it is very certain that a few neighbors might associate in the ownership of a machine to be keps in;" - a : central locality, _ convenient,'for all and in a suitable building by which association one machine might do the work of eight or teu persons, at a cost of no more than twenty five cents each. The saving .would be enormous. No setting milk, no cost of ice, no costly apparatus, no churns; no pan washing, no bad batter, no worrying m hot or cold weatner; bat at a nominal cost, the very best batter, which may be all packed together and. shipped in the" condition and. sold -for the r*fy best . pricea." -
Theßalsy on tho BattlefieldOn the night aiter the battle of Waterloo, in tbe blood stained mire of a ploughed iield, lay an English officer, dead where he fell.—At his side lay the body of his wife, who had followed him from England, and perhaps arrived in time to receive his last sigh. On h breast was their baby, sound asleep, and smiling amid that dreadful scene as though angels were inspiring its dreams. Ah, God: what a thing is childhood ; touching Heaven in its innocence and earth in its agony. "While we have the children how large the placeß they fill! When we lose them how great the vacancies they leave! Bead the story of an escape as told by a parent. My daughter Kate, now eleven years old, had always been delicate. She was pale and thin, and as it seemed, as though a breath ut cold air would destroy her. She was now better, now worse, but never well. In the summer of 1885, Bhe complained of a sense of weight in th 6 chest and side. Her abdomen was distended as though she had overaaten, when in fact she ate scarcely more than a bird. She spoke of a bad taste in the mouth, and would always be holding her sides, or placing her hands agiiust her temples, as if to relieve the pressure there. She also had pains between the shoulders, and her breast was very offensive. She was always tired and languid, and though naturally a bright, inte'ligent child, would lie for hours in a liatless i condition. She srew weaker and weaker until she could scarcely stand. "Wo thought her to be in a decline. Then came a sign even more alarming,—a short, dry, deep-Bounding coufh. My wife and 1 feared it was consumption. In our anxiety we consulted tho doctors, who said, " Yes, your 'daughter has consumption." "What a sad prospect for us ! About Christmas, 1885, I removed my family from Huntingdon to Manchester Poor Kate was too weak to take the journey with us ; she.remained with her grandmother at Thorp Farm, Norfolk, Still the dear child sank from week to week.—What was our surprise some time afterwards, to receive a letter from grandmother reading this : ''Kate is very much better. She is eating well and sleepinq well; and the rosts are coming into her thin cheeks." What conld have happened ? In another month we had the happiness of welcoming our daughter in our new home iu Manchester. How great was our joy when we saw the wonderful change which had taken place in her. She is now a fine,'healthy child, and never ails any more than any girl may. Now, what wrought this 'change ? What pave us back our daughter, seemingly almost from the brink of the grave ? 1 will answer frankly, for there is nothing to conceal: —Seeing her deplorable state, and none of the medicines Bhe had taken proved appropriate to her strange malady, her grandmother one day said to herself, "I think I will give Kate a dose out of my bottle of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup." Her grandmother had received great benefit from this medicine herself for a comcomplicated disease. It was given to Kate and the good effect was immediate She at once rested more tranqui ly and h»d something of an appetite, and a little later her grandmother was justified in writing to us as I have already stated ! (Signed) Frederick Butcher, 6, Birch Road, Crumjsall, near Manchester.
Mr and Mrs Butcher are people of tbe highest respectability and well educated. Mr Butcher was an assistant at the great shop of the Messrs Lewis, Market-st., Manchester, and an impartial acquaint* ance writes that Miss Kate Butcher is one of the brightest young girls to be met with anywhere—quick, precocious, and full of vivacity and wit. Speaking of the daughter's recovery her. mother says: "I do not care what anyone mas say, there iB no medicine so good a Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup.'" The proprietors of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup desire to make no false impressions. The young girl did not have consumption :—She suffered from indi gestion and dyspepsia, and from poverty of- the blood, like myraids of her sex The hollow cough, which sounded so consumptive, was one of the symptoms, not the disease. She needed life and strength from her food, but how could she get it with her stomach torpid and dead ? Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup corrected the ailment at its root, and recovery quickly followed. We repeat once more the fact that is taught by this interesting case:—When in doubt treat any and all complaints as symptoms of indigestion and dyspepsia, and in nine instances out of ten you will see just such a wonder as narrated above. We wish long life and h»ppy days to this young lady and her good parents and friends.
