The Extent to "Which it is Carried and the Drain its Excitement Brings Upon the System. A Few Words of Warning- and Timely Sng? gestions to American Business Men. When Cyrus W. Field returned from Iiis tour around the world he was perfectly r.raazed at the extent to which stock specula? tions had run, and the thousaud and one -'.'wild cat" sciierr.es which were largely patro? nized by the too credulous public, even when there was not thc remotest probability that they would ever come to a successful com? pletion. Ile stepped jato Domenico's to dine, and was pained to see the crowds which huddled around thc stock indicator, unable even to eat a meal in peace, so disquieted were they under the operations of the fever of speculation. .Mr. Field says he bought ! certain stock for an investment at 1.00 just j before he- sailed. On his return, finding it quoted nt the fancy price of 1.64, he sold. He cu ubi see ny reason why such an advance should b.avc becu made, and fearing a crash in the market he disposed of his stock as soo? as possible. This wild speculative maura prevails in London and Paris and Berlin, and in his opinion when the crash conies ii will j involve the entire commercial world. Con? servative men and the press see these things ' and warn the people, but many will nbi be ! Stopped so long as they have a penny to spare j or caa borrow, or until ruin comes irretrieva- I bly and awfully. Thc supreme ciTort of our people should be to cultivate moderation. T'vo things have united to make the struggle for existence in this country the most exacting and exciting found in the world : 1st. Thc ease with which successful men appear to amass for? tunes. 2d. The impression their success makes on those who immigrate helier. As souu as the intelligent foreigner arrives cn our shores, be becomes seized v.- i th the desire, not only af a comfortable subsistence, but of a fortune, and every ambition and energy of his being is directed to this one purpose. This explains wby our business men give so lillie time to physical recreation, why they pay so little heed to the essential details of politics-their bast ness and their families exhaust their energies, aud they have time, strength and inclination fur nothing else, ex? cept when au imminent physical or political dancer stares them in thc very face and eyes. The result of al 1 thi> is. that twenty years is tho limit of a man's business activity and success. It will take him ordinarily ten years to accumulate bis first thousand dollars surplus, and in thc remaining len years, if he be pru? dent and fcuergcti -, ?ie ma}- amass, more or less of a fortune. But iu tim majority of cases, when bc has gotten his fortune, he has ruined his health, aed linds ?io comfort what evci in that which he had fondly hoped would complete thc sum of human happiness for him. The exhaustion which follows the inordi? nate pursuit of wealth, wc are told hy thc very 'nest of authorities, proceeds from im? paired digestive organs. The brain has drawn upou them for ail they were worth so long that they suddeu?y give way and the whuie system falls into a miserable collapse. The organs so susceptible to nervous excite? ment are the kidneys and liver. The oilices ot' these organ? are tu discharge poisons which are collected from ail paris ol'the budy by tile veins, the kidneys eliminating them in a liquid form, and the liver transforming part of them by a chemical process into digestive fluids, and utilizing the remauider as a pur? gative. Both these organs demand a large share of nervous force. If this force is all ex? hausted hy the brain, they become feeble, culds settle in them, congestion follows, thc poison cannot get out of the blood, digestion | is impaired; the bowels become inactive be- ! cause tiie liver fails to furnish tho natural cathartic, the bladder becomes le-ufuliy in? flamed, dropsy comes on ; strange disorders visit th: head, heart, lungs, and ere the person Is aware of it, he is a victim of chronic kidney.and liver disease, and a candidate for death by Bright's disease of the kidneys. And liiis is the end o'" ali commercial life which is pursued at the sacrifice of every other social, political and physical consideration ! ''Ob," exclaims the man of active life, who -Iocs not feel ns well as he used to, I;J baveu't any Bright's disease! I'm only used up from so much work, worry and excitement !:! Precisely ! You do not feel as well as for? merly. Your head aches oftener and your eyesight suddenly proves faulty. The verdict of a celebrated authority ou the subject is: '.These symp-oms ?re a sure precursor of Bright's disease." You have had a recent and mysterious attack of asthma,-"A sure precursor ol' Bright's disease." You have hud a hard cold oa your lungs which you have been unable to disloge-you have spit up bloody mucus, - ;:A sure precursor of Bright's disease." You have felt a uew and singular sensation of heaviness in the region of the heart-r*A sure precursor of Bright's disease." You have felt great depression of spirits, without any known cause-!iA sure precursor of Bright's disease." You have found it suddenly impossible to eat whatever j and wheuever you wish. Your stomach lias been very lame, your appetite very feeble, j your bowel? irregular-"A sure precursor pf Blight's disease." A mysterious weariness comes upon von.; your muscular system seems utterly helpless-"A sure precursor of Bright's disease." Suppose you "have no pains in the region of the kidneys cr liver" this is no indication that you have not bright's disease. Suppose you "have no al? bumen or casts," that is no indication that your kidneys are al! right-that you have uot Bright's disease. This, uf course, puts an entirely new phase j on one of the must vital questions of the day. We have made a special inquiry and we find high medical authority for all cf these ad? ditional conclusions: FIRST-That more adults arc carried off in this cuuntry by chronic kidney disease than by any other malady except consumption. [Thompson]; SECO.NO- That deaths from such diseases ! are increasing at thc rate ol' 250 percent, a decade-?'?tl wards]. Tiiiun-That they have no symptoms of their own and may long exist without the knowledge uf patient or practitioner, as no pain wili be felt in them or their vicinity. Qloberts.J Foinmi-That thc fatal cases-and most cases have hitherto been fatal-the symptoms ! of diseased, kidney.? wi!! first appear in ex- ,' trcme'y different organs of tho body as stated j above -[Thompson"].

A a O?c? ?.Iau's C?rtala Lecture to the 1"<>ui;ir jLadj K?oivi: as "sis.1' Come here, sis, anti sit down be? side me and lot me give you a little talking tu. That is right. Sit clear at the other end ol" thc Rufa, lt makes more mom for my gout and corns, besides being a good habit for a yoting lady to become addicted to. Always pander to this habit and you will in time titid yourself walking through green meadows and besides the still waters of self-respect. You may bo walking alone, to be sure, but will have fewer lawn dresses to do up on Monday morning. I wish to speak lo yo-LI of your mother It may be you have no? ticed a care-worn look upon lier face lately. Of course it lias not been brought there by any act of yours, still it is your duty to chase it away. ' I don't mean for you to run at it and shake your skirls and tell it to "shoo,'' as you would a hen, nor do I expect you to get on the other side of thc fence and throw old oyster cans and pieces of barrel staves at it. as you did at the cow yesterday. Bnt I want you to get up to-morrow morning and get breakfast, and whet) your mother comes down and begins to express her surprise, go right up lo her Mid kiss her on tho mouth. You don't imagine how it will bright? en her dear face. Besides, you owe her a kiss or two. Away back, when you were a little girl, she hud kissed j you when no one else was tempted by ? your fever-latiited breath and swollen j face. You were not as attractive then as you are now. And ail along til rou arl) these vears (sf childish sun shine and shadows she was always ready to cure, by the magic of "a mother's kiss, the little dirty, chubby hands whenever they were injured in those first skirmishes with this rougi: old world. And then the midnight lifsscs with which she has routed so man}' bad dreams, as she leaned above your restless pillow, have all been on interest these long, long years. Of course she is not so pretty and kissable as 3*ou are, but if you had done your share of the work during these last ten years thc contrast would not be so marked, lier face has more wrinkles than yours, far more, and yet if you were sick that face would appear to 3'ou to be far more beautiful than an angers, as it hovered over yon, watching every opportunity to minister to your comfort, and every? one of these wrinkles would seem to be bright wavelets of sunshine chasing each other over the dear old face. She will leave you one of these days. Those burdens, if not lifted from her shoulders, will break her down. Those rough, hard hands that have done so many unnecessary things fin yon will bc crossed upon her life-loss breast. Those neglected lips ilia! gave you your iii st baby kiss wi!! be forever closed, and those sad, tired eyes will have opened in eternity, and then yon will appreciate your mother, bm it will Le too late. There, lhere, d m't cry ; she luis not loft you yet. She is down in Ute kitchen slTP.igihg beans for dinner, and if you feet so badly you might go down and i finish 1 hetti, and ?et her change her dress and rest an hour before dinner. And after dinner yon might do up the ?' dishes while she takes a little nap. Then you might t:>ke down her hair and do it up for her Yuu need not wind it over your linger and fuss to make little spit curls as you used to do with yours, but give it a good brushing and wind it up gently and j tenderly, as if you enjoyed doing it j for her. The young man down Li the j parlor eau wait until you have per? formed those duties.

That an employer who hears of a clerk living in style a good ways above his salary, is very apt to show him thc duor when he least expects it. That a giri who decks herself in the latest thing out, and parades the street while her mother does the family washing, isn't worth wasting much love un.

Thc method which ? have found to bc tho chea pest and most successful, is thc following: As the young worms feed during the autumn upon fall growing plants of various kinds, it follows that by clearing entirely any piece of ground of weeds and other plants during this time, the worms must starve. In the garden, tuen, no part must be allowed to become weedy after the crops are removed, for every weed may be nourishing several Cut-worms. As rapidly as crops mature, they should be re? moved, and the stems and rubbish carted to the compost heap. It may be well to so arrange thc rotation of crops that the crop preceding the planting, which is subject o Cut? worm depredations, is one wMch can be removed early from the ground. After removal of lae crop thc whole ground should be thoroughly plowed-, and if plowed again just beTore frosts sets in, so much tho better. When it is not possible to remove the cops before the close of the season, much good can still be done by clearing otT the ground and plowing, for although the young Cut-worms are present in the ground, the late plowing will dis? arrange their plans for hibernation, and thc greater part of them will be killed by' tho frosts and other hard? ships of tho winter. On the farm the samo methods can b' successfully applied. Ii'a clever fHd is to be broken up and planted with corn, ihe plowing must be done in the fall if young Cut-worms are abundant. Surrr m? tallowing is a nw. excellent preparation tor cr-?ps liable to be troubled with Cut-w'orrv , provided that the ground be actually fallow; a fallow field full of weeds is of no ? . ail whatever.
