The Baak-Note.

Ths following amusing scene, which occurred recently in an American family, wfll be found not uninteresting to our readers. The chief role is played by money, the prime mover in such affairs. An eye-witness recited to us the occur* rence in the following word*: One evening I took tea with an intimate friend of mine, and while we were seated at the table Mr. Baker, my friend’s husband, while absently feeling in hi* vest pocket found a five-dollar note which he had no recollection of putting there. “Hallo*!” he exclaimed, “that is no place for you. I should have put you in my pocket-book. Here wife, don’t you want some ready money?” and he threw the note across the table to her. “ Many thanks,” she replied; “money is always acceptable, although I have no present need of it.” She folded the note and put it tinder the tea-tray and then proceeded to pour out the tea and attend to the wants of her guest*. At her right sat Mrs. Easton, or Aunt Susan, whom all knew as an old acquaintance who, from lime to time, spent a week with Mrs. Baker. Her visit was just at an end and she was about to return home that evening. As Mrs. Baker was pouring out her tea it occurred to her that she was in her aunt's debt for several small matters, and when she had an opportunity she pushed the note under her plate, saying: “ Here, aunty, take this five dollars in part payment of my debt” “Very well,” she replied; “but the money does not belong to me. I owe you fifteen dollars, my dear Grace, which you lent me last Saturday. I had to pay the taxes on my little house and had not the ready money, and Grace lent it to me,” exclaimed Aunt Susan.”

Grace, an orphan, was a cousin to Mrs. Baker. She and her brother Frank boarded with her, and made a very pleasant addition to the family circle. She was studying music and her brother was a clerk in a mercantile establishment. As soon as Aunt Susan received the note she handed it to Grace, saying: “I will give you this now on account, and the rest as soon as I get it.” “ All right,” answered Grace, laughing; “ and since we all seem in the humor to pay our debts, I will follow suit. Frank, I owe you something for music you bought me; here is a partof it;” and she threw the bank-note across the table to her brother, who sat opposite. We were all highly amused to see how the note wandered around the table. “Tin* is a wonderful note,” said Mr. Baker. “ I only wish somebody owed me something, and I owed somebody something, so that I could come into the ring.” “You can,” said Frank. .“ I owe Mrs. Baker or you, it's all the same, for my board; I herewith pay you part of it.” 5 Amid general laughter Mr. Baker took the note, and playfully threw it again to his wife, saying: “It’syours again, Lucy, because what belongs to me belongs to you. It has completed the round, and we have all had the benefit of it” “And now it must go around again,” replied she, gayly. “ I like to see money circulate; it should never lie idle. Aunt Susan, you take it; and now I have paid you ten dollars.” “Dear Grace, here is another five dollars on my account,” said Aunt Susan, handing it to Grace. 4 ‘And you, Frank, have received ten dollars for the music you bought me,” said Grace, handing it to her brother. “And I pay you ten dollars for my board,” continued Frank, and the note once more rested in Mr. Baker’s hands. . The exchanges were as quick as thought and we were convulsed with laughter. “Was there ever so wonderful an exchange?” exclaimed Grace. •“It’* all nonsense,” cried Mr. Baker. •‘Not in the least,” answered his wife. “It's all quite right. It is a fair kind of an exchange, though very uncommon.” “It shows the use of money,” said Aunt Susan. “It makes the circuit of the world, and brings its value to everyone who touches it.” “ And yet this note has not finished its work yet, as I will show my dear husband, if you will give it to me again,” said Mrs. Baker. “I present you with this five-dollar note,” said Mr. Baker. “And I give it to you, Aunt Busan. I owed you fifteen dollars, and I have paid my debt.” “You have, my friend, without doubt, and now, my dear Grace, I pay you my indebtedness; many thanks for your assistance.” “ I take it with thanks, Aunt Susan, and now the time has come when this wonderworking, this inexhaustibly rich bank note must be divided, because I don’t owe Frank five dollars more. How much have Ito pay yet?” “ Two dollars and sixty-two cents,” replied Frank. “ Can you change ?” “ Let me see, two thirty-eight; yes, there is the change; the spell is broken, Grace; you and I divide the spoils.”. “ This bank note beats all I ever saw. Howmuchhasitpaid ? Let us count it up,” said Grace.

“Mrs. Baker gave Aunt Susan fifteen dollars, which Aunt Susan gave me I gave Frank twelve dollars and sixty-two cents—Frank gave Mr. Baker ten dollars —altogether fifty-two dollars and sixty-two cents.” “It’s all nonsense, I tell you,’’cried Mr. Baker again. “ You owe each other what you owed before.” “You are deceived, my dear, by the rapid, unbroken race this little sum has made; to me it is as clear as daylight,” replied Mrs. Baker. “Is it til nonsense? How couldthenote which you gave Mrs. Baker, if nothing to me or to you, be divided between us two ?” asked Grace. Mr. Baker didn’t seem to see it very clearly, but the others did, and they often relate this little history for the amusement of thoix friends.— LetUSt Budget of Fun. —ln the bright lexicon of feminine ftihion there is such a word as faille. —Moonlight mechanics is the latest for burglars. —Ague without fever is no great shakes.

Strawberry Culture.

Tn cultivated strawberry has come to bee necessity for the mass, and it needs no apology for urging it* culture upon everyone wheown* araral habitation of a few feet of land that maybe appropriately applied to the purpose. BexuHly considered the strawberry is of three kinds: hermaphrodite, pistillate and staminate—the first being perfect ip itself to the production of fruit; the second requiring the aid of one of the other two; the third barren, not capable of producing perfect fruit. So»Z*.—Any soil where Indian corn will produce a crop will grow strawberries; still, like the former, the better the soil is prepared the better the crop; yet some varieties seem to elect a different soil from others; but there is no soil which will grow any plant bat that some variety may be grown thereon. The large and improved varieties require a rather moist, deep soil, than dry; especially is moisture necessary from the time of setting of blossoms and fruit to maturity of the same. Heavy and close soils should be under-drained, subsoiled and the mechanical condition rendered suitably porous. Sandy soils require applications of muck or black earth to retain moisture. Thorough culture of any soil is requisite for greatest production. Manure. — Compost manure seems best adapted for the strawberry. Muck, leaves, ashes, old pasture sods, applied alone or composted with good stable manure, are good. Mineral and phosphatic rather than animal fertilizers are to be preferred for application to the plants; top-dressing the soil about the hills is always beneficial. Time to Plani.—YAther early spring or September is the suitable season; but for Northern latitudes spring is the best or most successful. Plants carefully set in September will give a partial crop the next season; spring set will bear very few if any. All half-dead or defective leaves should be trimmed off, as also the roots pruned, before setting. Young runners are best for setting at any season. Planting. —Garden and field culture are very similar. In garden culture the plants are set in beds, three rows on each bed, rows eighteen inches apart, and plants eighteen inches apart in rows. Cloudy, moist weather is most suitable, but they can be set in any weather with suitable care. If set when dry a good soaking of pure water must be given each plant after setting in the soil. For field culture set your plants in rows thirty inches apart and plants eighteen inches in the row. Pistillate varieties will require every sixth row to be set with hermaphrodite varieties for fertilization. Keep perfectly free of weeds and well cultivated; keep the runners cut, or at most train Into the matted row system. The last is least trouble, and gives best results frequently, but the plantings will hold in bearing longer where the runners are kept cut clean. A good mulch soon after setting will preserve the plants from drought on dry soil. At the approach of winter it will benefit the plants to cover them and the whole soil with a light covering of straw or evergreen boughs; they winter better and are more productive the following season. If covered with straw it should be opened off the plants as soon as they start in the spring, to be left tfil afterjruiting; evergreen boughs removed entirely as soon as freezing weather is past. When the beds begin to fail new ones should be formed on new soil and the old ones occupied with some other crop for three or four years. New plants are grown by allowing the runners from plants to grow and strike root; and the second from parent plant is best for new plantations. Varieties are numerous. The following are good ones: Wilson’s Albany, H; New Jersey Scarlet, H; French’s Seedling, H; Peabody, H; Triomphe de Gand, H; Hovey, H; Jucunda, H; Bartlett, H; Durand’s Seedling, H; Lady’s Finger, H; Perry’s Seedling, H; MacAvdy’s Superior, P; Russell’s Prolific, P.— Cor.

Torches for the Codling Moth.

Fob a number of years my attention ha* been called to the ravage* of the codling moth among our apples. So numerous and widespread have they become that wormy apples are now th* rule and sound ones the exception. Various remedies have been suggested and practiced, such as hay bands and woolen cloths around th* trees, cans of sweetened water suspended from the limbs of the trees, etc. The hay bands in most cases have proved a positive injury, as they or cloth would be put on and allowed to remain during the entire season, thus furnishing the best possible breeding-place for the worms. The can* catch some moths, but are not used by enough orchardists to hav* any appreciable effect on the number of sound apples. Those who have picked np their windfalls early in the season and fed them to hogs or cattle, also those who have let hogs or sheep run in their orchards, have succeeded in realizing a fair crop of reasonably sound apple*. But the number of persons who have their orchards in a shape to let the sheep and swine roam at will among them is comparatively small, principally because they have not a proper fence around their orchards.

Last March I moved into a house that had been used as a storehouse for apples the previous fall and winter. About the Ist to the 15th of April the moths (little brown fellows), about one-half of an inch long, became so numerous that they cov* ered the windows and at night flew into the chimneys of our lamps and around so as to be quite annoying. Acting on this hint I took a torch, made similar to torches used in torchlight processions, and placed it in my small orchard several nights just after the apples had set. The result was that I gathered a sounder lot of last fall than I had for a number of years. The coming season I am going to place torches at intervals of, say, six rods apart, over my orchard. I believe if this was generally practiced the coming season ra jvqiight get rid of this great enemy to the apple. I am aware that some savants claim that the codling moth is not attracted by a light. I know they are. Carbon oil has become so cheap that the cost of applying it as a remedy is very trifling.—<7. Jf.

Agriculture Under Difficulties.

You are aware that the Agricultural Department at Washington is in the habit of distributing seeds to those tillers of the soil who happen to want them. Last spring my Congressman sent me a large package of choice assorted garden seeds, br >ught by the department from California. There were more than I wanted, so I gave a' lot of sugar beet and onion seed to Cooley, my next-door neighbor on the right, and some turnip and raddish seeds to Pitman, my neighbor on the left. Then I planted the rest—turnip, cabbage, celery and beet seed—-in my own garden. When the plants began to come up I thought they looked kind of queer, but I waited until they grew larger, and then, as I felt certain something was wrong, I sent for a professional gardener, as I don’t know much about such things myself. “Mr. Hoops,” I said, “cast your eye over those turnips and tell me what you think is the matter with them.” “Turnip 1” exclaimed Hoops. “Turnip ! Why, bless your soul, man, that's not turnip. That’s nothin’ but pokeberry. You’ve got enough pokeberry in that bed to last a million years.”

“ Well, Mr. Hoops, come over hereto this bed. Now how does that celery strike you? The munificent Federal Government is spreading that celery all over this land of the free. Great, isn’t it?” “Well, well!” said Hoops, “and they Shoved that off on you for celery, did they? Too bad! It’s nothing on earth but pokeberry. That is the California kind. The deadliest pokeberry that was ever invented.” “Are you sure you’re not mistaken, Mr. Hoops ? But you haven’t seen my beets there in the adjoining bed. The seed of those beets were sent from Honolulu by our Consul there. He reports that the variety attains gigantic size.” “Really, now,” said Hoops, “I don’t want to hurt your feelings, but to be fair and square with you, as between man 'and man, them’s no beets, you know. Them’s the Mexican pokeberry. I pledge you my word, it’s the awfulest variety of that plant that grows. It’ll stay in this yer garden forever. You’ll never get rid of it.”

.“ This seems a little rough, Mr. Hoops, but I’d like you to inspect my cabbages. They’re all right, I know. The Commissioner of Agriculture got the seed from Borneo. They are the curly variety, I think. You boil them with pork, and they cut down beautifully for slaw. Look at those plants, will you? Ain’t they splendid?” “Mr. Adeler,”said Hoops, Ml’ve got some bad news to break to you, but I hope you’ll stand it like a man. These afflictions come to all of us in this life, sir. They are meant for our good. But, really, sir, there’s no Borneo cabbages! Cabbages! Why, man, them’s merely a mixture of California and Mexican pokeberry with the ordinary kind, and a little Osage orange sprinkled through. It’s awful, sir! Why, you’ve got about two acres of pokeberry and not a blessed bit of cabbage or turnips among them.” “ Mr. Hoops, this is terrible news! And do you know I gave a lot of those seeds to Cooley and Pitman!” “ I know you did, and I seen Mr. Cooley this morning with a shot-gun, goin’ ’round askin’ people if they knew where he could find you.” “ Find me! what do you mean?” “ Well, sir, that there onion seed you gave him was really the seed of the silver-maple tree, and it’s growed up so thick all over hi* garden that a cat can’t crawl through it. There’s about 40,000,000 shoots and suckers in that garden, and they’ll have to be cut out with a hand-saw. It’ll take a year to do it.” “ You appall me, Hoops!” “ And that’s not the worst of it! Them roots is so matted and interlocked jest beneath the surface that you can’t make any impression on ’em with a pickax. That garden of Cooley’s is ruined, entirely ruined, sir. You might blast them roots with gunpowder and it wouldn’t make no difference. And them suckers will grow faster than they’re cut down. He’ll have to sell the property, sir.” “And the Commissioner of Agriculture said that was onion seed! Why didn’t Cooley hunt him with a shot-gun?” “ Yes, sir, and Judge Pitman’s got pokeberry and silver maple growin’ all over his plfte, too, and he’s as mad as—well, you just ought to hear him snortin’ around town. He’ll kill somebody, I’m afeared.” Subsequently I settled with Cooley and Pitman; but oughtn’t something to be done with that Agricultural Department ? It will break up farming in this country if it is allowed to continue.— Maa Adder.

Mrs. Cobleigh’s Hot Potato.

Mb. Cobleigh had just got down to breakfast. He was standing up to the stove with his hands clasped behind him, as is his custom, contemplating, the at-tractively-set table. A large platter of broiled ham, with fried eggs, was the central feature, and Mr. Cobleigh is very fond of ham and eggs. The family cat was lying under the table pukring softly to herself. It was a strongly-marked domestic scene, and Mr. Cobleigh felt his eye moist en as he surveyed it. Mrs. Cobleigh was taking up the potatoes. She had the last one pierced with the fork, and was about to deposit if with the rest, when she espied the upturned palm of her husband’s hand. What possessed her she cannot tell, but she dropped the steaming vegetable straight into his unconscious hand. He didn’t ask her what she was doing, he didn’t even look around; he simply emitted an awful scream and sprung madly into the air. On the descent he struck the table with his knees, with such force as to completely overturn it, and with the contents he went to the floor with an awful crash. Five dollars’ worth of crockeiy was smashed, and a carpet, coat and pair of pants were ruined by ham gravy and butter. It is probable Mr. Cobleigh would have fainted dead away from the effect of the shock had not the cat, across whose erected back he fell as she was darting away from the awful calamity, turned around and fastened both claws and teeth into his thigh with deadly ferocity. That revived him.. The house is now shut up. Mrs. Cobleigh is visiting her mother in Brookfield, and Mr. Cobleigh has taken a ja«nt to Boston on business. We understand tiie thinks Mr. Cobleigh is to blame in the tpatter, for, she properly reasons, had jm jiot jumped go like an allflred fool there fvoii; d have been no damage dons.—

Dr. Pierce's Faverite Prescription

is very strongly recommended by the Medical Faculty and is largely prescribed among their Female Patients. It is worthy of all confidence, as may be seen from the following testimonials: Dr. G. B. Chapman, Plattsmouth, Neb., writes: I have under treatment a lady Who, for the past-seven years, has been afflicted, and, after trying several physicians without receiving benefit, <* gaining rapidly on your favorite Preecripdon. Atlanta, Hl. Dr. R. V. Pino, Buffalo, N. T.: Z)«ar Sir—l have not words to express my gratitude to you for your advice and assistance in my case. There is not one who has used your medicines since they have been brought here but that can say with me they have been greatly benefited. Since I have been so helped by its use six or seven around me left off all doctors and other medicines and now use it in their families after being cured of the same disease as mine. You do not know what a wonder it created in our city by its restoring my sister I wrote you about, for she had been under the care of three of our best doctors but could not sit up but for * few minutes at one time. I begged of her to try your medicines, and before she had used half tee bottles she could go all around the yard, and has now just come home from a visit five miles away. Mrs. THOMAS McFARLAND.

Patent Medicinhs.—That there are tome good patent medicines no intelligent man dare for a moment deny; and preeminent is the great California hero medicine, Vinegar Bitters, discovered by Dr. J. Walker, a prominent physician of Ban Francisco. This medicine, although called Bitters, is not to be classed among the vile “ fancy drinks” recommended and sold over the bar by rumvenders, but is a combination of pure herbalistic extracts known to possess sterling medicinal qualities, and is compounded without the use in any shape of spirits. It* action upon the internal system is not stimulating to the extent that alcoholic poison is, but it at once attacks blood-impurities, and by removing the original cause destroys the germs of disease and invites returning health. Its action upon the stomach ana liver renders it an almost certain specific in the most stubborn cases of dyspepsia, and in truth imparts new life ana vigor to the whole system. It is one of the best medicines ever invented 32

■ ’ Dr. J. Walkert California Vinegar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the native herbs found op the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor-’ nia, the medicinal properties Of which are. extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is almost doily asked, “What is the cause of the unparalleled success of Vixegaji Brt-J TEasf w Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient re-; covers his health. Tliey are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, 1 a perfect Renovator and. Invigojator of the system. Never before in the history of toe world ha* a medicine been compounded possessing the remarkabl* qualities of Vikkga* Bitters in healing the tnck of every disease man is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative m well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver ana Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases. The properties of D». Walker’s Vinegar Bitters are Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretiq Sedative, Counter-Irritant Sudorific, Alterative. and Anti-Bilioua. R. H. MeDOIf ALU St CO., Drn{-gist« and Gen.

Congestion Is also a prolific cause of heart-dropsy. Dr. ElUiu Bartlett, who for seventeen years w*s W charge of one of the London city hospitals. In his report for June and July, 1857, gives twentertwfl' ewes of congestion of the heart which resulted fatally within six months, causing dropsy of the heart in most cases. Congestion of the engine of circulation is always dangerous and fatal. When not Immediately fatal it leaves an impression behind which leads to fatal disease. Congestion of the lungs is often the prelude to hemorrhage and consumption, and in many cases where the lungs are not permanently allotted the heart receives the shock, and the Issue Is death. Ferleuditis is often a cause of dropsy of the heart, and in a chronic and acute form Is not uncommon. It is caused sometimes from constant oyer-exertion, from excessive heat and perspiration, followed by Ito sudden suppression. The symptoms are sharp pains in the heart, a sense of smothering and suffocation and short and difficult respiration. Treatment results in no permanent relief; the heart becomes dropsical and the patient dies. A strain will often produce perlcaditla. In one ease, a young man while skating was thrown down upon the ice by a frozen twig, and a sharp pain passed through his heart as though a nerve had snapped or a slight muscle given way. A feeling of faintness followed, and after that weakness and occasional pains. From a hearty and robust condition he visibly declined and weakened. During the following summer he experienced the peculiar aymptoms heretofore noted—dizziness, cold feet, suffocating sensations about the heart, shortness of breatii. etc-, and one day he suddenly died. A post mortem examlnaearttltiß can W X^XTby 1 ?h.' use of proper remedies. . Thick or impure blood Is a cause of heart disease: The heart is designed to do a certain amount of work under favorable conditions. Now if the conditions are unfavorable, the same amount of work cannot be done without over-taxing the member. If the blood be too thick more power must be exerted to force it to the extremities of the system. Tills extra effort results in fatal disease. In time the heart becomes unequal to the demand made upon it, and the consequence It that the blood flows in a small and sluggish stream, depositing at various points along the route impurities, which form tumors, tubercles, eruptions, ulcers, cancers, abscesses, swellings, and various other forms of falsely so caliea local disease. These are often treated locally, and when dislodged strike to the heart, and death soon follows. Local treatment is generally wrong In these cases. The cause should be sought out ana removed, and then the effects would naturally cease. The remedies and treatment should be directed to the increase of the circulation, and in this way remove the impure Judgments and clean out the sand-bars of disease. By this plan of treatment the disease iscured on proper and philosophical principles. Dr. Wm. Hollister, formerly of Cincinnati, states, in his Reform Practice of Medicine, that one might as soon expect to kill a Canada thistle by cutting off the top as to permanently cure cancer by cutting. Lieutand, of Paris, says that the use of the knife for the cure of tumors and cancer wili generally disappoint the patient and practitioner; ProL Parker, of New York, opposed the use of the knife in removing an ovarian tumor, but was overruled bya council and the life of the patient was sacrificed. When too late it was admitted that if she had been let alone she would have survived many years. Repelled erysipelas is often a cause of heart disease. This is a blood complaint, and manifests itself on ths surface. It is nature’s effort to get rid of internal derangements. The usual practice is to cauterize the skin, which tends not to remove and cure the trouble, but to scatter and smother it under the skin. A case occurred in Buffalo where a slight attack of erysipelas was treated with cauterization to that extent that nearly the whole surface of the body was gone over. The disease left the surface and settled upon the heart and his early demise was expected. After a year had passed my attention was attracted to his case by accident. I directed my course of treatment so as to ala nature to throw the disease upon the surface again and relieve the heart Although it was a work cf time and drew largely upon my patience, I ultiinat cly succeeded. I am now satisfied that if the proper course had been taken in many extreme cases of chronic xltse.ise. a curt might have been wrought where only failure has been the result By treating the seat or cause of a disease all the recuperative forces of nature are encouraged and come to the physician’s aid. A favorable result would hardly be expected where the opposite course is pursued. Here is a case in point: A man wealthy and Influential was lying in momentary expectation of dying in one of the wards of a London hospital, several years ago, inthe last stages of consumption. One night there appeared a tumor under the clavicle. As It Increased in size it pressed hard upon<he windpipe until there was great likelihood that he would suffocate. During this time the patient’s lungs worked and panted violently. Finally tee tumor all at once began to subside, and the patient sank into a comatose state, from which tee. attending physician said he would never emerge. In tour or five days he began to revive, had less fever, lea* cough, gradually improved, and tn a few weeks became comparatively a well man. The same physician soon after had another case of hereditary consumption. After a careful examination be told the patient that he hod passed into the third stage of consumption, and that his malady was incurs, ble, but also gave the history of tee case above related and its sattefactory termination. After consulting the former patient he returned to the hospital and allowed tire phvaiciaa to try an experiment. A silver band with an ivory ball attached was passed around his neck and drawn tightly, and after the patient had become accustomed to it the ivory ball was pressed dqwn harder and the band drawn more closely until the person was nearly suffocated. The lungs by this experiment were violently exercised. Finally the ulcers in the lungs were broken and a great quantity of matter was discharged. The pressure was relieved and increased from day to day until the lungs were greatly enlarged and the ulcers broken up. The patient finally recovered. The physician tretfted the cause of tho disease, and succeeded. The experiment enlarged the lungs and cured the consumption. “ To be continued by N. 8. Dodge, M. D.
