Xtw Most YTo nderful Invention, I From the: Si Loots BUlotin.] »B. A. OWEN'S ItLECTKICAL BELTS. St. Loots, Ho., February 28,1887—Dr. A. Owen is tho mos t successful inventor and manufacturer in the country of Electrical Appliances for thecure of acute, chronic and nervous diseases. They have received the unqualified indorsement of physicians of high standing, ns well as thousands of sufferers who have been cured by them. The following indorsement, for instance, is absolutely convincing, and the writer is Professor of the Theory and Practice of Medicine in the American Medical College at St. Louis, Clinical Lecturer at the City Hospital, Bt Louis; Editor of the American Sedical Journal; Author of “Electricity in edicine and Surgery,” and Author of “Direct Medication.”—Therapeutics. St. Lons, Mo., June 10, 1886.—I take pleasure in stating that 1 have examined and tested Dr. Owen’s Eleetro-Galvanic Belt and Appliance^ and do not hesitate to say that it is the most practical and efficient of all the Galvanic Belts I have used in my practice It is s, very useful device, and whenever electric belts or shields can be of any benefit, this will more than take the place of any thing of the kind I have ever seen. Geokoe C. Pitzer, M. D. The Belts have a reversible current, and can be regulated to any desired power, and the current is under the control of the patient The Belt will completely cure nervous and general debility, lumbago, p&ralysis, neuralgia, rheumatism, kidney and spinal diseases, indigestion, dyspejf ia, erysipelas. ' , blood poisoning, asthma and all catarrh, , female diseases. These Appliances, indorsed (as the best made) by all dealers in electrical and surgical instruments, may be obtained from them or from Dr. Owen himself. Parties living outside the city should address Dr. Owen for illustrated circulars, testimonial cMCu lars, price-lists, etc, which will give them every possible information. Another wonderful invention of Dr. Owen is his Electrical Idpoles. Their use will cure all diseases duo to cold feet. Ladies v Belts are made a little different from the Gent's Belt. The prices asked for all these Appliances are very low. Try them. Offices : 806 N. Broadway, St. Louis, Mo.; 836 Broadway, N.

CAPITAL AND LABOR Discourse by Bey. T. DeWitt Tilmage on the Labor Question. The Remedy for Strikes end Loek-Ooti Most Come Through the Means of a More General Observance of the Golden Role. The following discourse on the rela1 tions of capital and labor was delivered : by Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage in the Brooklyn Academy of Music from the text: Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do you even so to them.—Mutt tIL, 11 ? Two hundred and fifty thousand laborers in Hyde Park, London, and the streets of American and European cities filled with processions of Workmen carrying banners, brings the subjeot of labor and capital to the front That all this was done in peace, and that as a result in many places, arbitration has taken place, is a hopeful sign. The greatest war the world has ever seen is between capitaf and labor. The strife is not like that which in history is called the Thirty Years’ War, for it is a war of centuries, it is a war of the five centuries, it is a war hemispheric. The middle classes in this country? upon whom the Nation has depended for holding the balance of power and for acting as mediators between' the two extremes, are ( diminishing; and if things go on at the same ratio as they have for the last twenty years been going on, it will not be very long before there will he no middle class in this country, but all will be very rich or very poor, princes or paupers, and the country be given up to palaces and hovels. The antagonistic forces have again and again closed 'in each other. You may pooh-pooh it;voumay say thht this trouble, like an angry child, Will cry itself to slpep; you may belittle , it by calling it Fourierism, or Socialism, ! or St. Simonism, or Nihilism, or Comi monism, but that will not hinder the fact that it is the mightiest, the darkest, the most terrifio threat of the i century. Most of the attempts at pacification have been dead failures, and

19 M1V1V Mil *"w trades unions more bitter. “Give us i more wages,” ory the employes. “You shall have less,” say the capitalists. “Compel us to do fewer hours of toil in a day.” “You shall toil more hours,” say the others. “Then, under certain conditions, we will not work at all,” say these. “Then you shall starve,” say those, and the workmen gradually using up that which they accumulated in hotter times, unless thereho some radical change, we shall have soon in this country three million hungry men and women. Now, three million hungry people can not ho kept quiet All the enactments of Legislatures, and all the constabularies of the cities, and all the army and navy of the United States can not keep three million hungry people quiet? What then? Will this war between capital and labor he settled by human wisdom? Never. The bro* of the one becomes more rigid, the fist of the other more clinched. But that which human wisdom can not achieve will he accomplished; by Christianity if it he given full sway. Vou have heard of medicines so powerful that one drop would stop a disease and restore a patient; and I have to tell you that one drop of my text properly administered will stop all these woes of society, and give convalescence and complete health to all classes. “Whatsoever ye would that &en should do to you, do ye even so to them.” I shall first show you this morning how this controversy between monopoly and hard work can not be stopped, - and then 1 will show you how this controversy will be settled. In the first place there will come no pacification to this trouble through an outcry against rich men merely because they are rich. There is no laboring man on earth that would nbt be rich il he could be. Sometimes through a fortunate invention, or through some accident of prosperity, a man who had nothing comes to large estate and we see ham arrogant and supercilious, and taking people by the throat just as other people took him by the throat. There is something very mean about human nature when it comes to the top But it is no more a sin to be rich than it is a sin to be poor. There are those who have gathered a great estate-through fraud, and then thqje are millionaires who have gathered their fortunes through foresight in regard to changes in the markets, and though brilliant business faculty, and every dollar of their estate is as honest as the dollar which the plumber gets for. mending a pipe, or the mason gets for building a wail. There are those who keep in poverty because of their own fault. They might have been well off, but they smoked or chewed up their earnings, or they lived beyond their means, while others on the same wages and on the same salaries went oh to competency. I know a man who is all the time com- ; plaining of his poverty and crying out against rich men, while he himself keeps two dogs, and cbews and smokes, and is filled to the chin with whisky and

Micawber said to David Copper field: “Copperfield, my boy, one pound income, twenty shillings and sixpence expenses: result, misery. But Copperfield, my boy, one pound income, expenses nineteen shillings and sixpence; result, happiness.” And there are vast multitudes of people who are kept poor because they are the victims of their own improvidence. It is no sin to be rich, and it is no sin to lie poor. I protest against this outcry which I hear against those who, through economy and self-denial and assiduity, have come to large fortune. This bombardment of commercial success will never stop this controversy between capital and labor. Neither will the contest be settled by cynical and unsympathetic treatment of the laboring classes. There are those who speak of them as though they were only cattle or draught-horses. Their nerves are nothing, their domestic comfort is nothing, their happiness nothing. They have no more sympathy for them than a hound has for a hare, or a hawk for a hen, or a tiger for a calf. When Jean Valjean, the greatest hero of Victor Hugo’s writings, after a life of Buffering and brave endurances, goes into incarceration and death, they clap the book shot and say: “Good for him!” They stamp their feet with indignation and say just the opposite of “Save the working classes.” They have all their sympathies with Shylock, and not with Antonio and Portia They are plutocrats, and their feelings are infernal. They are filled with irritation and irascibility on this subject To stop this awful imbroglio between capital and labor they will lift not so mueh as the tip end of the little finger. Neither will there be any pacifi cation of this angry controversy through violence. God never blessed murder. But up to-morrow the country seats'!in the banks of the godson, tm&^all the fine houses on B^fson Sguaat, and Brooklyn Heights and.

classes in the United States and Ireland are their demented coadjutors. A few years ago assassination—the assassination of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke in Phosnix Park, Dublin, Ireland, in the attempt to avenge tlMfWrrongs of Ireland—only turned away from that afflicted people millions of sympathisers. The attempt to blow up the House of Commons in london bad only this effect—to throw out of employment tens of thousands of innocent Irish people in England. •‘Well, if this controversy between capital and labor can not be settled by human wisdom, it is time for us to look somewhere else for relief, and it points from my text roseate and jubilant, and puts one hand on the broadcloth shoulder of capi tal, and puts the other hand on the homespun-covered shoulder of toil, and says, with a voice that will grandly and gloriously settle this, and settle every thing. “Whatsoever ye would tha t men should do to you, do ye even so to them.” That is, the lady of the household will say: “I must treat the maid in the kitchen just as I would like to be treated if I were down-stairs, and it were my work , to wash, and cook, and sweep, and it were the duty of the maid in the kitchen to preside in the parlor.” The maid in the kitchen must say: “If my employer seems to be more prosperous than I, that is no fault of hers; 1 shall not treat her as an enemy. I will have the same industry and fidelity down-stairs as I would expect from my subordinates, if I happened to be the wife of a silk importer.” The owner of an iron mill, having taken a dose of my text before leaving home in the morning, will go into his foundry, and, passing into what is called \ the puddling room, he will see a man there stripped to the waist, and besweated and exhausted with the labor and the toil% and he will say to him: “Why, it seems to be very hot in here. You look very much exhausted. I hear your child is sick with scarlet fever. If you want your wages a little earlier this week, so as to pay the nurse and get the medicines, just come into my Office any time.” i

After awhile, crash goes the moneymarket, and there is no more demand for the articles manufactured in that iron mill, and the owner does not know what to do. He says: “Shall I stop the mill, or shall I run it on half-time, or shall I cut down the men’s wages?” He walks the floor of his counting-room all day, hardly knowing what to do. Toward eve ning he calls all the laborers together. They stand all around, some with arms akimbo, some with folded arms, wondering what the boss is going to do now. The manufacturer says: “Men, business is bad; I don’t make twenty dollars where I used to make one hundred dollars. Somehow, there is no demand now for what we manufacture, or but Tery little demand. You see I am at Tast expense, and I have called you together this afternoon to see what you would advise. I don’t want to shut up the mill, because that would force you out of work, and you have always been very faithful, and I like you, and you seem to like me, and the bairns must be looked after and your wife will after awhile want a new dress. I don’t know what to do.” There is a dead halt for a minute or two, and then one of the workmen steps out from the ranks of his fellows, and says: “Boss, you have been very good to us, a nd when you prospered we prospered, and now you are in a tight place, and I am sorry, and we have got to sympathize with you. I don’t know how the others feel, but I propose that we take off twenty per cent, from our wages, and that when the times get good you will remember us and raise them again.” The workman looks around to his comrades, and says: “Boys, what do you say to this? All in favor of my proposition will say ay.” “Ay! ay! ay!” shouted two hundred voices But the mill-owner, getting in some new machinery, exposes himself very much, and takes cold, and it settles into pneumonia, and he dies. In the procession to the tomb are all the workmen, tears rolling down their cheeks, and off upon the ground; but an hour before the procession gets to tbe cemetery the wives and children of those workmen are at the grave waiting for the arrival of the fnneral pageant The minister of religion may have delivered an eloquent eulogium before they started from the house, but the most impressive things are said that day by the working classes standing around the tomb. But you go with me and I will show you—not so far off as Sheffield, England —factories, banking-houses, store-houses and costly enterprises where this Christlike injunction of my text is fully kept, and you could no more get the employer to practice an injustice upon his men, or the men to conspire against tbe employer, than you could get your right hand and your left hand, your right eye and your left eye, your right ear and your left ear, into physiological antagonism. Sow, where is this to begin? In our homes, in our stores, on our farms—not waiting for other people to do tht$r duty. Is there a divergence now between the parlor and the kitchen? Then' there is something wrong, either, in the parlor or the kitchen, perhaps in both. Are the clerks in your store, irate against the firm? Then there is something wrong, either behind the counter, or in the private office, or perhaps in both.

The great want of the world to-day is the fulfillment of this Christlike injunction, that which He promulgated in His sermon “Olivetic. ” All the political economists under the archiVolt of the heavens, in convention for a thousand years, can not settle this controversy between monopoly and hard work, between capital and labor. During the revolutionary war there was a heavy piece of timber to he lifted,perhaps for some fortress, and a corporal was overseeing the work, and he was giving commands to some soldiers as they lifted: Heave away, there! yo heaver Well,, the timber was too heavy; they could not get- it up. There, was a gentleman riding bycm a horse, and he stopped and said to this corporal: “Why don’t you help them lift? That timber is too heavy for them to lift." “No,” he said, “I won’t; I am a corporal.” The gentleman got off his horse and came up to the place. “Now,” he said to the soldiers, “all together—yo heave!” and the timber went j to its place. “Now,” said the gentleman 1» the corporal, “when you have a f piece of timber too heavy for the men to lilt, and you want help, you send to your Commander-in-chief.” It was Washington! Now, that is about all the .Gospel I know—the Gospel of giving somebody a lift, a lift out of darkness, lift out of earth into Heaven. That in the Gospel of helping somebody else to lift. “Oh,” says some wiseacre, ‘talk as you will, the law of demand and supply will regulate these things until the end of time.” No, it will not, unless God dies and t^artiatteries of the Judgment Day are spiked, and Pluto and Proserpine, King and Queen of the infernal regions, take full possession of this world. Do you know who Supply and Demand are? They have gone into partnership, and they propose to swindle this earth, and are swindling it You are drowning. Supply and Demand stand pn the shore, one on one side, the other oh tip other ajde, of the Ufe-feHt

and they cry out to you: “Now, you pay' us what we ask you tor getting to the shore, or go to the bottom?” If you can borrow fire thousand dollars you can keep from failing in business. Supply and Demand say: “Now, you pay us exorbitant usury or you go into bankruptcy!” This robber firm of Supply and Demand say to you: “The crops are short We bought up all the wheat it is in pur bin. Now, you pay our price, or starve!” That is you magnificent la# of supply and demand. Supply and Demand own the largest mill on earth, and all the rivers roll over their wheel, and into their hopper they put all the men, women and children they can shovel out of the centuries, and the blood and the bones redden the valley while the mill grinds. That diabolical law of supply and demand will yet have to stand aside, and instead thereof will come the law of love, the law of co-operation, the law of kindness, the law of sympathy, the law of Christ. Have you no'idea of the coming oi such a time? Then you do not believe the Bible. All the Bible is full oi promises on this subject, and as the ■ ages roll on the time will come when j men of fortune will be giving larger j sums to humanitarian and evangelistic : purposes, and there will be more James Lenoxes and Peter Coopers and William E. Dodges and George Peabodys. As that time comes there will be more parks, more picture-galleries, more gardens thrown open for the holiday people and the working-classes. I was reading some time ago, in regard to a charge that had been made in England against Lambeth Palace, that it was exclusive, and that charge de- . monstrated the sublime fact that to the grounds of that wealthy estate eight hundred poor families had freer passes, and forty croquet companies, and on the half-day holidays four thousand poor people recline on the grass, walk , through the paths and sit under the ; trees. That is Gospel—Gospel on the | wing. Gospel out-of-doors worth just as. much as in-doors. That time is going to come. t That is only a hint of what is going j to be. The time is going to come when, j if you have any thing in your house worth looking at—pictures, pieces of sculpture—you are going to invite me to come and see it; you are going to invite my friends to come and see it; and you will say: “See what I have been blessed with! God has given me this, and, so far as enjoying it, it is yonrn, also.” That is Gospel.

many years ago, the stage halted and Henry Clay dismounted trom the stage and went out on a rock at the very verge of the cliff, and he stood there with his cloak wrapped about him and he seemed to be listeningcfor something. Some one said to him: “What are you listening for?” Standing there, on the top of the mountain, he said: “I am listening to the tramp of the footsteps of the coming millions of this continent.” A sublime posture for an American statesman! You and I to-day stand on the mountain top of privilege, and on the jock of ages, and we look off, and we hear coming from the future the happy industries, and smiling populations, ancl the consecrated fortunes, and the innumerable prosperities of the closing nineteenth and the opening twentieth century. And now I have two words, one to capitalists and the other to laboring men. To capitalists: Be your own executors. Make investments for eternity. Do not be like some capitalists 1 know,' who walk around among their employes with a supercilious air, or drive up to the factory in a manner which seems to indicate they are the autocrat of the universe, with the sun and the moon in their vest pockets chiefly anxious when they go among laboring men not to be touched by the greasy or smirched hand and have their broadcloth injured. Be a Christian employer. Remember Chose who are under your charge, are bone of your bone and flesh of your flesh, that Jesus Christ died for them and that they are immortal. Divide up your estates, or portions of them, for the relief of the world, before yon leave it. Do not go out of the world like that man who died eight or ten years ago, leaving in his wiH twenty million dollars, yet giving how much for the Church of God? Hew much for the alleviation of human suffering? He gave some money a little while before he died. That was well: but in all this will of twenty million dollars how much? One million? Ko. Five hundred thousand? No. One hundred dollars? No. Two cents? No. One cent? No. These great cities groaning ,in anguish, nations crying out for the bread of everlasting life. A man in a will giving twenty million dollars and not one cent to God! It is a disgrace to our civilisation.

To laboring men: I congratulate you j on your prospects. I congratulate you j on the fact that yon are getting your ' representatives at Albany, at^Harrisburg and at Washington. This will go on until yon will have, representatives ■ at all the headquarters, and yon will have full justice. Mark that. I congratulate you also on the opportunities for your children. Tour children a,re agoing to have vast opportunities. 1 congratulate you that you have to work, and that when you are dead yonr chil dren will have to work. I congratulate you also on your opportunities of information. Pluto paid thirteen hundred dollars for two boolfs. Jerome ruined himself financially by buying one volume of Origen. What vast opportunities for you and your children! A workingman goes along by. the show window of some great publishing house and he sees a book that costs five dollars. He says: “I wish 1 could have that information; I wish I could raise five dollars for that costly and beautiful book.” A few months pass on and he gets the value of that book for fifty cents in a pamphlet. There never was such a day for the workingmen of America as the dSy that is coming. * But the greatest friend of capitalist and toiler, and the one who will yet bring them together in complete aoco rd, was born one Christmas night while the curtains of Heaven swung, stirred by the wings angelic. Owners of all things —all the continents, all worlds, and all the islands of light. Capitalist of immensitv, crossing over to our condition. Coming into our world, not by gate of palace, but by door of barn. Spending His first night amid the shepherds. Gathering afterward around Him the fishermen to be His chief attendants. When adze, and saw, and chisel, and axe, and in a carpenter-shop showing Himiielf : brother with the tradesmen. Owner of all things, and yet on a hillock back of ; Jerusalem one day resigning every thing for others, keeping hot so much as a shekel to pay for His obsequies. By charity buried in the suburbs of a city that had cast Him out. Before the cross of such a Capitalist, and such a Carpenter, all men can afford to shake Stands and worship. Hers is the every man’s Christ Hone so high bnt He was higher. Hone so poor but He was poorer. At His feet the hostile extremes will yet renounce their animosities, and countenances which have glowered with the prejudices and revenge of centuries shall brighten with the smile of Heaven as He commands: “Whatsoever ye would that men sbot&l 4p to you, do j# nas gjrta ttwa,1'

FARM AND GARDEN. THREE GOOD DEVICES. Borne Home-Made Appliances The* Ereij Farcer Should Hove. We show this week cuts of some of ihe devices seen at the farm of Isaac j Hicks & Son. They are not exact re- j productions, but are as nearly such as aur artist could draw from imperfect do- j scriptions without seeing: the imple- I mentsi, and are sufficiently accurate to show the principles of construction. These are all home-made. 'Fig. 1 represents what is called a tow-cart It consists simply of two broad-tired wheels and an axle-tree to which a A—^ /^T^V

rw. 1. i iongue is fastened solidly, and a seat for the driver, and is used for a variety ff purposes. Fig. 2 shows the structure of a silage sart. It is about sixteen or eighteen teet long; the axle-tree is six feet long, and on the under side are bolted, close to the wheels, two strong bed-pieces, approaching each other to a distance of perhaps a foot apart at the front end. Boards are nailed across these, each alternate one coming out flush with the bed-pieces, the others projecting some listance. A ladder behind, to hold the toad in place, completes the rack. Two imall, broad-tired wheels are used. When needed for use, the narrow end >f the rack is chained under the towsart, which has high wheels, giving the appearance of a wagon with the front and hind wheels changed about. The rack is but a foot above the ground, and the alternate short boards allow a person to walk close to the center of the load to deposit his armful of corn or jther fodder. This renders the handling of heavy silage corn a comparatively easy matter. In unloading, the wagon is driven alongside the cutter, and the unloading is easily aosomplished. There are many purposes

riG. a. or which such a wagon might bo used kbout a farm in moving heavy materials which can be loaded on a high wagon >nly with difficulty. The whole rig ;an be constructed by any one having >rdinary mechanical ingenuity. The Messrs. Hicks have a large silo built of irick in the form of a round cistern, lixteen feet deep, but they do not use it, is the milkman to whom they sell their nilk refuses to purchase-it if they feed lilage. Fig. 3 represents a cart for spreading iquid manure, not such a one as is now n use, but more' like one that would he nade were another required. The one low in use consists of three casks of the size of ordinary oil barrels, but a preferable device like the one illustrated, ;onsists of only one holding from 150 to SOO gallons. As shown, the cask is mounted on a frame-work of sufficient strength to sustain the weight, this being supported by an asle-tree and wheels far enough apart to allow the ;ask to rest between them. The cask das an opening at the top (not shown in the cut) for pumping the liquid in, knd at the bottom an opening closed with a valve controlled by the driver, which allows the liquid to escape into t pipe (an ordinary pimp-log was ised) which conducts it ten a V-shaped trough, perforated with numerous imall holes, through whie 1 it is spread ts the cart is driven over the field. Here the tow-cart is a:;ain brought into use, the manure-sprinkler being ihained to the under side of the axletree in a manner similar to the silage :art- The liquid manure is collected in' a large cistern to which ilSsconducted

FIG. 3. from the stables through a cement gather. From this it is pumped into the sart without any inconvenience. The jdor is, perhaps, not quite so agreeable is that of the ottar of roses, but the whole of the work can be done without soiling the hands or the clothing. Mr. Hicks told of one of his ne ighhors who, son vinced of the value of li( ;c id manure, had utilized a cart for spee ding it, dipping it up with paiis, ani allowing it ;o trickle out from the railed end-board after the Held was reached. He regarded such a dirty job as this sufficient sause for a strike on the p:i r t of a hired man. The large cistern b i ,d been emptied but a few days before our visit, the liquid being spread upon the meadow land. Mr. Hicks considers this the most valuable part of the manure, and If he were to build aitothc ji cistern he would bnild a much larger one.—Rural New-Yorker._ THE HORSE’S ENEMY. Worms And How to" Be more Them— Some Good Htac u Of all enemies of the horse, worms appear to be the most fretj uenf and formidable. The most favor;,!)!*- icmdition for their increase and injury to the animal is where the mucous memb -ane of the horse’s intestines is in a morbid condition. This must he corrected before any permanent advantage can be derived from treatment of worm** Man] preparations expel worms, but this physical imperfection continued, more of these pests will soon 'be developed and the animal’s condi cion worse than before. With a view to correcting the m» healthy condition abovu alluded to, see that the animal’s teeth sere in good order, attending in the colt’s case especialy to the unshed crowns of the grinders. Place salt where it may be had when wanted 1 by the animal, feed only good sound oats, hay and roots, and let exercis e and grooming be regularly attended to. Be jin internal treatment by giving a pnigative dose of raw linseed oil—say one quart—before breakfast, a bran mesh having been given the night before. After the oil had ceased acting, begin giving a powder containing dried sulphate of iron two drams, powdered harbidoes aloes one-half scruple, powdered gentian font drams; this powder to be mixed with the feed and its use continued until the animal is in a satisfactory condition. If the powder induces constipation, it must be corrected by feeding mashes, roots or other laxative food. After continuing the foregoing treatment for a few weeks, it may he well to give a hal f-ounce or an ounce of powdered santonine. This should he given mixed with a pint of linseed oil, and before breakfast. With in occasional repetition of the santonine- -the tonic powders being continued, cure is but a matter of time. Indeed, the santonin* treatment may he dispensed with altogether, as when the hone is put in • Wthy vmiWon.—i>rm *qd Homo.

A large funnel is. mounted on the fore part of the vessel, and turns round at the rate of five turns a minute.

These are indicated by white disks marking the direction. and an electric bell also sounds; .Several receivers are intended to bo worked from the same transmitter, for the captain and also for the engine man, who could stop at once, or slow down if the vessel was coming ih the opposite direction.

Referring to Shallenberger's Antidote for Malaria, the business manager of the Herald of Faith would say. that he gave this medicine a personal trial, and was speedily cured of an unpleasant Intermittent Fever, lie then recommended it to F. J. Tieffenfcraun, 1315 Papin street, and to polico officer Meidenger, at the Union Depot, both of Whom were cured by it of chills and fever of several years’ standing. Recently his Wife, after fever of several days’ duration, took a single dose and was perfectly cured. Ini view of these remarkable cures, and remembering bow much money is spent for quinine, so little to be depended upon, and often so injurious, we can only wish that Shallenberger’s Antidote would come into general use.
