A method adopted in Portugal for pre
serving, fish consists in removing the
viscera and sprinkling sugar over the
interior, keeping the fish in a horizontal
position, so that the sugar may pene
trate as much as possible. It is said
that fish prepared in this way can be
kept completely fresh for a loner time.

more agreeable taste, table-spoonful
of sugar being sufficient for a five-pound

A Good Rat Tbap. TaSe'a barrel
that will hold water, cut the head a lit
tle smaller than the top of the barrel,
pass a string througli the center of the
head, and hang it up so that it may hang
perfectly free inside the barrel, Tihree or
four.inches below the chine.. Now, put
in nve or six inches of water, and drop
some grease-on the top of the barrel
head, which you must balance by tacking
on some thin pieces of lead place your
trap wnere tne rats can get at it easily,
and it is ready. They come up to the
grease, and in stepping on one side of
the head the other naturally tips up, and
in goes the rat. The head soon gains
its equilibrium, and is ready for another.
Sometimes, when there is considerable
grease or food around where they can
get it, they won't take the bait. In this
f case, put a little anniseed in your bait.
Pets in the Country. A correspon
dent of the Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle in Brazil gives a rather "shud
dery" description of pets in that country
and says It is quite a convenience to
have anacondas in their cellars to destroy
rats and mice, as they are more efficient
in their work than cats. They do not
have the largest sized snakes for that
purpose; they are only from 10 to 20
feet long, and are seldom seen, as they
live in the walls of the cellars, which are
very little used. They are carried about
tne sweets, and sold to those who have
lost their pet reptile, or whoever may
chance to need them. Monkeys, generally
01 smaller sizes, are kept as pets in then-
houses, but to prevent their mischief
they are necessarily chained. During
tne prevalence of the yellow fever, the
summer past, the contagion was more
fatal to them than to the families in which
they were kept.
Making a Chowder. For chowder,
cover the bottom of the pot the chowder
is to be cooked in with shoes of pickled
port, or, if preferred, use a large spoon
ful of lard. Take any kind of fresh
fish (cod and bass are best) and lay them
over the pork or in the lard. If pork is
used, first fry it slightly in lard, made
boiling hot. Strew over the fish a layer
of chopped onions, and a layer of split
cracKers, pepper and salt. Spices are
used ll liked, but are not essential,
Next add another layer of fish, then
another of onions, another of crackers
and seasoning. When all the fish is in
dredge with flour, and quite cover the
fish with water stew gently. Half an
hour will cook a chowder of moderate
size. Take up the chowder thicken
the gravy by adding a tablespoonful of
flour to a teacup of bntter. Add this
to the gravy and stew two minutes. Add
wine or catsup if liked. Oyster or clam
cnowder may be made the same way.
Suggestion- fob Housekeepers.
Many Otherwise excellent housekeepers
think they can hardly cook a meal with
out calling into requisition the pork
barrel or the lard-tub in one phase or
another, and many a meal is consequent
ly spoiled to a delicate taste by this
means. Pork is a scrofulous, disgusting
food in any shape whatever, and should
be banished from all civilized tables.
Those who think fish-chowder cannot be
made without pork should try the follow
ing recipe Take three pounds of fresh
codfish, cut in pieces about three inches
square, five or six good-sized potatoes,
slice very thin, "and half a dozen hard
crackers broken a little. Put two-thirds
of a cup of butter in the bottom of the
kettle, then a layer of fish, then a layer
of potatoes and crackers, and so on till
i all is used. Sprinkle over each layer
salt and pepper quite freely, and pour
over it boiling water enough to cover it.
Cover it closely to keep in the steam.
Let it boil twenty minutes, add a pint of
new milk and it is ready for the table.
All who have eaten it pronounce it deli
cious. Try it, and you will say it is far
superior to a chowder made with pork.
If hard crackers cannot be obtained, use
common ones, but do not put them in
until the chowder is nearly done cook
ing, as they boil up and make it too
thick. Exchange
Roasting a Tukket. Select a fine,
plump, yellow-skinned turkey, weighing
from ten to twelve pounds. Examine it
well to see that all the pin-feathers are
taken out hold it over a blaze to singe
any fine hairs that may remain wash it
thorougly inside and out, and rub it
over with salt. Take the gizzard, heart,
and liver,, let them boil until tendr.
When done, chop them very fine. Take
stale bread, or the large Boston crackers,
and .grate or chop them. Add salt,
pepper and some green herb, if liked,
to the bread-crumbs after which beat
up two eggs with which to moisten the
crumbs add and mix thoroughly the
chopped "inwards," not forgetting to
put in salt and butter. Fill the inside
of the turkey with dressing, taking
care that the neck or crop is made to
look plump, and sew the openings,
drawing the skin tightly together. Then
rub a little butter over your turkey, and
lay it upon the grate of your meat pan.
Cover the bottom of the pan well with
boiling water. After a half-hour, baste
the turkey by pouring over it the gravy
that has begun to form in the pan. Re
peat the basting once in about fifteen
minutes. In an oven of average tem
perature, a twelve-pound turkey will re
quire at least three hours but every
-oven baa its own way of baking, and
the cook sust be governed by it.
Abont Rattlesnakes.
A Rattlesnake caught in Alabama was
confined in a glass case, over six months
ago. bince that tune it has been confin
ed in a glass case, and has not partaken
of one particle of food, though it has
been tempted with mice and other small
animals on which the reptile is accustom
ed to leed. Tne snake manifested no in
convenience from its confinement, nor
did it loose any in size or bodily vitality.
Its eyes continued to glisten like mag
netic steel, amdits lancinating- tonerue
ready to protrude at the appearance of
any one near the case. Dr. Colton
thought all the while it was a male.
Ihough small mice andjats have been
confined in the case with the snake un
til their own hunger urged them to bite
at its scaly hide, the serpent refused to
give tnem notice or to partake of food
On two or three occasions it has taken,
small quantities of water. One day late
ly, on going in the back room oi the
store, where the case is kept, it was dis
covered that the snake had giving birth
to four youner snakes, and by three
o'clock she'had given birth to three more,
making seven in all. The young snakes
made their appearance one at a time,
and in a coiled or striking position, theii
eyes glistening and their envenmoned
tongues continously darting out. The
young ones are each from nine to fifteen
inches in length and in a state of perfect
development. They are quick of motion,
and possess no ordinary spinal vitality,
as they crawl readily to the top of the
case and move with celerity across and
around it from end to end. What is
most singular and contrary to all the re
solved notions concerning the reptile,
each of these young snakes has a full
button on the tail, which clearly refutes
the idea that they have to be six months
old before the formation of the button
The old snake was lying in her cage in a
lethargic state, with some indications,
the doctor thought, of increasing the
coiling family. The young snakes coil
around her and under her and over her,
and she seems to have for them the nat
ural maternal affection of instinct. This
snake has been in captivity six months,
yet during nil s that period of time
she has partaken of not a morsel of food,
and has brooded her seven young. As
to exactly' how long from inception the
process of gestation or incubation has
been going on, there is no means of as
certaining.
Dr. Colton states that he once before
kept in the same case a larged sized rat
tlesnake for three years and nine months,
and that he studied closely its various
moods and changes. 1 his snake, he
says, did not partake of a particle of food
for the first nine months, and but little
water. He then gave it mice, rata, etc.,
putting the same into the case alive, and
it commencod devouring them voracious
ly. It would never touch a lame mouse
or a dead one, fresh' as it might be,
When a young rat was put into the case,
it would plant its unerring fang in some
part of the body, and then wait until it
died from ihoreugh inoculation of the
poison. When quite dead, it would turn it
over, take it head foremost and swallow
l T i 1 i m si
it, eviaenuy drawing nutriment irom tne
poison its fangs had infused. It shed its
skin twice a year,, each Spring and Au
tumn.a new rattle appearingat each shed
ding, which explodes the popular notion
that but one rattle comes a year,
Slurs on Women.
At a recent dinner in New York, at
which no ladies were present, a man, in
responding to the toast Woman,
dwelt almost solely on the frailty of the
sex, exclaiming that the best of "them
were little better that the Vorst, the
chief difference being in their surround
ings.
At the conclusion of the speech, a
gentleman rose and said "I trust the
gentleman, in the application of his re
marks, refers to his own mother and
sisters not ours."
The effect of this just and timely re
buke was overwhelming and the m alig
ner of woman was covered with shame
and confusion.
This incident serves an excellent pur
pose in prefacing a few words on the
subject.
Of all the evils prevalent among men
we know of none more blighting in its
moral effect than the tendency to speak
slightly of the morals of woman. Nor
is there anything in which young men
are so thoroughly mistaken as in the es
timate they form of the integrity of
woman not their own mothers and sis
ters thank God, but of others whom
they forget are somebody else's mother
and sifters.
Let young men remember that their
chief happiness in life depends on their
faith in women. No worldly wisdom,
no misanthropic philosophy, no gener
alization can cover or weaken this fun
damental truth. It stands like the record
of God himself for it is nothing less
than this and should put an everlast
ing seal upon lips that are wont to speak
slightly of women.
Knowing the Ropes.
"Alston's Treatise on Seamanship
giyes the following facts and .rules for
computing the strength of ropes
to nnd what size rope you require
when woven as a tackle, to lift a given
weight. Divide the weight to be raised
by the number of parts at the movable
block, to obtain the strain on a single
part add one-third of this for the in
creased strain brought by friction, and
reeve tne rope of corresponding strength,
One-sixth of 40 tons is 6 2-8 tons,
which, with one-third added, is 9 tons
nearly, for which you should reeve a six
inch or 6 inch rope.
Conversely To find what weight
given rope will lift when rove as a tackle,
multiply tne weignt mat tne rope is
capable of suspending by the number of
parts at the movable block, and sub
tract one-fourth of this for resistance.
Thus 8.9 tons, the strength of the
rope, multiplied by 6, -the number of
parts at the movable block, minus 13.3
or one-fourth, gives 40.1 tons as the
weight required.
Wire rope is more than twice the
strength of hemp rope of the same cir
cumference splicing a rope is supposed
to weaken it one-eighth.
The strongest description of hemp
rope is uutarred, white, three-stranded
rope "and the next in the scale of
strength is the common three-strand,
hawser laid rope, tarred.

Doctrines About Marriages.
Rev. "Mr. Conkling of New York de
livered a discourse on marriage, in which
he said Marriage is honorable to all.
God sanctioned the holy rite of mar
riage in tho very beginning. Ere sin
entered into the world Eve was created
to be wife unto Adam. It has always
been the strength of a country and a
great and necessary preventive against
sin. And when the laws which regulate
marriage, which loosen its ties, which
grant divorces for mere trivial things,
which delay liod s commandments and
shock the common sense of mankind
when these laws, I say, are altered,
modified and overthrown, so soon does
that nation so doing commence the
downward path to utter ruin. Let but
the thoeries of Robert Dale Owens of the
community and the like prevail, and
our lives would be but bestial ones. The
government should put down the Utah
polygamists. Talk about its being
founded on "religion, and thus shield
ed from assault why, some thieves
might as well club together and declare
robbery "religious." No! It will be
the crowning act of this administration if
they grapple with this outrage on com
mon sense, and consign it to oblivion. It
will be severe, bo doubt, on the wives
and children, but the former knew what
they were doing.
Families are the grand safeguard of
the nation. When Adam was created
but one wife was created for him and
Jesus Christ savs Tbv twain shall be
one flesh." Jesus sanctioned marriage,
he performing his first miracle at a mar
riage feast.
Where there are families there are
generally children. But one of two
things prevent children. Either physical
disability or sin on the part of the moth
er. And I am glad I have an opportuni
ty to speak on the latter point. The
small number of children in American
families has but one cause for it. It has
become more and more fashionable to
regard children as cumbrances, as
annoyances, -taking away from time and
pleasure. And this has indeed deterred
many from entering marriage bonds.
But many of those who have, have com
mitted wholesale murder (for it is noth
ing else), ruining themselves physically
and morally. I cry out against this and
say. "They that do these things shall
not enter into the Kingdom of God,
A hell is prepared for them.
I advise all young men to marry.
can conceive nothing more abject, more
lonely, unhappy and selfish than an old
bachelor. Young men, refuse no good
opportunity to marriage and the grand
preventive of sm.
A womsn's love is deep in tho affec
tions and hence, if her husband is un
faithful or a drunkard, or cold, she loves
him still through it all. But let a wo
man be untrue and she is denounced,
spurned, thrown off by her husband.
Hence it is that when a woman does fall
she is far worse than a man in like cir
cumstances ever afterward.
A Man Caught in a Mine.
A Deer Lodge City (Montana) paper
says Mr. Peter Coffey came in from
Nevada gulch on Thursday night for Dr.
Mitchell, and gave an account of one of
the most remarkable mining accidents
we have heard of. It appears that on
.Nevada creek, lived remote from any
other person, IVlr. Wm. Cieghorn,
miner of intelligence and industrious
habits. The mail carrier on last Satur
day, in going by, left his papers at his
cabin, and wished to borrow a mule from
him, but seeing no ene about, went on
his route. On returning on Thursday,
he found the cabin still tenantless, and
the papers remaining where he had
placed them.
The unusual occurrence aroused his
suspicions, and remembering he had
seen tracks in the snow leading from the
cabin on his last trip, he searched for and
found them, and could find no returning
track. He followed them to a drift in a
bar, found that there had been a cave,
and that Cleghorn was caught by it.
Summoning help, the miners succeeded
in,, reaching and rescuing the unfortu
nate miner about sundown of Thursday.
His hip-joint was dislocated, and his
right leg crush above the ankle. The
drift was only a few feet below the sur
face, and he told them that on Sunday
he could distinctly hear the miners walk
ing and talking on the bar above, while
he lay there crushed, famished for lood
and drink, in mortal pain, unable to at
tract their attention. And thus he lay
for over five days. The real horrors of
the situation are beyond expression. Mr.
C. is a man of powerful build weighs
over 200 pounds but it is said he was
reduced to a skeleton when exhumed
Dr. Mitchell returned last evening. He
reports Cleghorn living and likely to re
cover. Dr. M. will amputate his right
leg below the knee on Sunday. He had
lain very nearly five and a half days in
the drift. It is the most remarkable
case of endurance we have ever heard
of.

The Amazons.
According to a very ancient tradition,
the Amazons were a nation of women.
who suffered no men to remain among
them, but marched to battle under the
command of their queen, and formed
for a long time a formidable state.
They held occasional intercourse with
the men of the neighboring states. If
boys were born to them, they either sent
them to their fathers, or killed them.
But they brought up the girls for war,
and burned off their right breasts, that
they might not be prevented from bend
ing the bow. From this custom they re
ceived the name of Amazon, that is,
breastless. Such is the ordinary tale
the origin of which is perhaps to be ac
counted for by supposing that vague
reports, exaggerated and poetically em
bellished, had reached the Greeks of the
peculiar way in which the women of va
rious Caucasian districts lived, perform
ing military duties which elsewhere de
volved on husbands, and also of the
numerous examples of female heroism
which, travelers inform us, still distin
guish the women of that region. In
later times, however, the word Amazon
has been supposed to have some connec
tion with the Circassian word "Maza,"
signifying the moon, as if the myth of
the Amazon had taken its origin in the
worship of the moon, which prevailed
on the borders of Asia. The nations of
Amazons have been mentioned by the
ancients. First, the Asiatic Amazons,
from whom the others branched off.
These dwelt on the shores of the Black
Sea, and among the mountains of the
Caucasus, especially in the neighbor
hood of the modern Trebisond, on the
river Termodon, (now Termob. They
are said to have at one time subdued the
whole of Asia and to have built Smyrna,
Ephesus, Cumse, and other cities. Their
queen, Hippolyte, or, according to oth
ers, Antiane, was killed by Hercules, as
the ninth of the labors imposed on him
by Eurystheus consisted in taking from
her the shoulder-belt bestowed on her by
Mars. On one of their expeditions, the
Amazons came to Attica, in the time of
Theseus. They also marched under the
command of their queen, Penthesilea,
to assist Priam against the Greeks.
Thy even appear upon the scene in the
time of Alexander the Great, when their
queen, Thalestris, paid him a visit, in
order to become a mother by the con
queror of Asia. Second, the Scythian
Amazons, who, in after times married
among the neighboring Scythians, and
withdrew further into Sarmatia. Third,
the African Amazons, who, under the
command of their queen, Myrina, sub
dued the Gorgons and Atlantes, marched
through Egypt and Arabia, and founded
their capital on the Lake Tritonis, but
were then annihilated by Hercules.
The Grand Duke Ball.
The ball given in New York in Honor
of the Grand Duke Alexis, was certainly
a magnificent affair, if we may believe
the journals of the city. An immense
crowd of lookers-on gathered about the
Academy of Music early in the evening,
and quite a number of policemen were
necessary to keep this crowd in proper
order. About naif -past ten o'clock a
movement was discernable, and, simul
taneous with a grand rush of the patient
waiters toward the Academy, the Prince's
carriage, followed by several others,
dashed up to the canopied entrance.
The Prince was the first to alight, and
as he did so the crowd on the corner of
Irving place got a glimpse of him, and
there then ensued a most exciting crush
and rush toward the carriage, women
vieing with the men in their eagerness to
get as near as possible to the handsome
young Russian. The Prince had on a
heavy gray overcoat of the Russian
style and a pancake cap of the same
color, and as he got out of the carriage
he handed the cap to a gentleman in
waiting. He pulled off his coat the
minute he crossed the threshhold of the
door.
The reception and ball rooms were
handsomely decorated. The first set for
the lancers was formed on the stage im
mediately in front of the prismatic foun
tain. The Grand Duke and Mi6s Hoff
man took the head. Vis-a-vis to them
were General McDowell and Mrs.
Gen.
Aspinwall. The sides were made
up of
Cata-
Governor Hoffman and Madame
cazy and Mrs. Richard Irving and Mrs.
nn: ci -i
vjubbiug. Dome oeiay was experienced in
forming the other sets, the Academy be
ing so crowded. At length the band
struck up the familiar air, and the ball
was opened. The distinguished dancers,
however,' were exceedingly unfortunate
lhey got mixed up generally at the be
ginning, arid so they continued until,
the end. It was a great relief to all
concerned when the first-dance was fin
ished. After this the Prince promenad
ed and danced alternately for an hour,
until supper was announced. In the se
cond and third dances his partners were
Miss Morse, daughter of the professor,
and Miss McDowell, daughter of the
General. It was nearly one o'clock
when the Grand Duke and the whole of
the imperial party were conducted into
the supper room. The Duke retired
about two o'clock, but the ball went on
until four.
The Prize Fight.
The prize fight between Mace and
Coburn took place as advertised, on
Thanksgiving day, about fifty miles from
New Orleans. It was another fizzle. It
lasted four hours and a half and eleven
rounds were fought. Mace claims that
in the fourth round his hand was dis
abled. The eleventh and last round
is t hus described Coburn's friends
were in hiarh smrits. and sTiontd.
Hhlly boy, Joe you've got him sure
all the time." Mace began to shuffle
and fib around his corner, but seeing an
opening, he landed a clean cut on Joe's
jaw. Joe got cautious again, and the
sparring went on as before. Mace went
to his corner puffing, Coburn eyeing him
from the middle of the ring. (Betting
even on Coburn.) As neither of the
men showed signs of moving, Rufe Hunt
said, This is played I will give you
five minutes to advance." Coburn took
him at his word and went quickly to
Mace s corner. Mace advanced a trifle
and then retired. Coburn followed him
closely. After a little sparring there
was another of tne rests. People were
beginning to feel disgusted, and the men
again toed the mark. There was anoth
er exnioition or science without any
blows, and Mace again retreated to his
coiner with his hands down. (Hisses
around the ring. Rufe Hunt came to
the center, of the ring and said, "This
ain't a fight I'll give you men thirty
seconds to get to business. Both the
pugs then came forward and did some
sparring for twenty minutes, with no
blows. The people round the ring were
disgusted, and Hunt again advanced and

The Russian at a Ball.
The ball given at Governor's Island,
in honor of the Dake Alexis, was opened
by General McDowell and the Grand
Duke, Miss Nellie Murphy being the
first partner selected for the Prince.
The band struck up a lively galop, and
the General with his partner started off
in good time. The Prinee essayed a
start, but had scarcely turned around be
fore his feet slipped and threw him out
of time, so very smooth and oily was the
floor. He quickly recovered himself,
and then with some caution he proceed
ed in good style. On returning his part
ner to her friends she complimented the
Prince on being a good gentleman to
dance with. The Grand Duke, as he
appeared on the ball-room floor after di
vesting himself of hat and long cloak,
revealing his princely head and dark,
gold-studded uniform, was entirely be
coming to his high rank. Had any
stranger stepped into the place and been
asked to point out the most distinguish
ed looking man on the floor he would
certainly have selected the Grand Duke.
His was the tallest figure there, and his
perfect self-possession gave him a grace
ful bearing, and there seemed to be har
mony in every gesture. The next part
ner of the Prince was Miss Morse, who
danced a waltz with him. The other
partners were Miss Blodgett, Miss
McDowell, daughter of General McDow
ell Miss M. V. Shaler, daughter of
General Shaler and Miss Sullivant, an
Ohio belle, and niece of General Mc
Dowell. From all that has been seen of
the Grand Duke Alexis it is evident that
he is not a "lady's man." While acting
as escort he is always polite and occa
sionally gay. But he never flirts. As
soon as the ceremony of dancing is over
for it is little more than a ceremony
for him he relieves his partner of his
company and goes his way, leaving her
to go hers. If he can steal away he will
"walk off alone, get in a back room, roll
a cigarette, and smoke it. While Alexis
attracted everybody's attention his
brother officers were improving the op
portunity to put themselves on good
terms with the ladies, in which they suc
ceeded admirably, being all fine-looking
and well educated men.

Shrewd Swindle by a woman.
A Mrs. B described as moving
in the best circles of San Francisco,
was lately informed by a letter that a
beautiful and an accomplished niece of
an intimate friend was about to make her
a visit. Glad to welcome Eastern belles,
Mrs. B determined to omit nothing
that could render her guest's stay plea
sant. In due time the young lady arriv
ed, and her beauty, her rare accomplish
ments, and, above ajl, her luxuriant gol
den tresses, became at once the theme
of conversation among the San Francis
co bachelors. The story is easily guess
ed. She came, she saw, she conquered.
A wealthy broker offered the fuscinat-
ing niece his hand and heart, and, being
fortunate in hi3 suit, pressed for an im
mediate marriage. Mrs. B rejoiced,
and to her rejoicing came the anxious
niece. What should she do for a trous
seau She had written to her banker,
but it took time to receive money. Of
course Mrs. B was only too glad to ad
vance the necessary 85,000, and a mag
nificent array of laces and other -goods
was atOeorgia s disposal. Meantime,
having -told her predicament to her be
throthed, he too had handed his check
for a large amount to his enslaver. As
they say on the stage, Exit Georgia,
enter police. A trunk of cast-off cloth
ing and a prolusion of golden hair was
all that the fictitious niece but clever
swindler, had left behind her.
The Marriage of Prince Pierre
Bonaparte. The Independance Beige
gives particulars of the marriage of
Prince Pierre Bonaparte. The cere
mony was performed in Brussels, at the
D rench legation, and was only the con
secration of a union solemnized many
years ago, in-presence of an official of
the small district of Lacuisine, in Bel
gium Luxemburg, and binding Mile.
Rifflin to Prince Bonaparte. Mile Riff-
lin had long been known as Princess
Bonaparte. The marriage, which result
ed m two children, was disapproved of
by the Emperor, who withheld his con
sent. The empire having fallen, Prince
Bonaparte, in the opinion of the lnde
penaance Jseige, thought it necessary
in order to regularise his position
and secure the future rights of his chil
dren, to nave a new ceremony, a new
contract was prepared by which the
children were declared legitimate. The
proceeding offered no incident of note,
The New Loan Exempt from Taxes.
All bonds and interest thereon issued
under the act of July 14, 1870, entitled
"an act to authorize the refunding of
the national debt," are by that act de
clared exempt from the payment of all
taxes or duties of the United States, as
well as from taxation in any form under
State, municipal, or local authorities,
(Section 1, chapter 256, sixteenth statute,
page 272.) The Commissioner of Inter
nal Revenue rules that the exemption
embraces the interest as well as principal
of the new bonds, and that this interest
need not be included m the amount upon
which a dividend or other taxes are re
quired to be paid.

Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y.,
in his book on Uhronic JJiseases, says
regard to his Golden -Medicine Dis
covery, witn winch our readers are
familiar, "from its wonderful power
over Consumption of the Lungs I had
thought strongly of calling it my Con
sumptive Cure but from the fact that
it is a perfect specific for the sere throat
and hoarseness to which ministers and
other public speakers and singers are
subject, and also for Bronchitis, and all
severe Couqks, and is an invaluable
remedy for diseases of the Liver, and
also as a Blood Purifier, I decided not to
apply to it a name which might mislead
and prevent its use in other diseases for
which it is so admirably adapted.
It will cure a cold in one half the time
necessary to cure it with any other
medicine, and it does it, not by drying
it up but removing the cause subduing
the irritation and healing the affected

"Winter Wisdom.
Warm clothing alone will not protecU the body against
the oonsequences of the sudden depression of tempera
ture which is concomitant of early winter. Flannel next
the skin preserves the animal heat, but it does not im
part animal vigor. That property is the special preroga
tive of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, whioh is therefore
specific protection against a majority of the complaints
which are most common at this season. For example,
course of the great vegetable invigorant, commenced
now, will be almost sure to preclude chills and fever, bil
ious colic, disorders of the stomach, oonstipation, and
many other complaints which are often tho direct or in
direct effect of an atmosphere surcharged with cold, un
wholesome vapor. Moreover, the system toned and
regulated by this means is much more likely to resist
pulmonary disease than it would otherwise be for the
influence of searching medicine prevades all the organs,
and every fiber and tissue of the frame. Persons whose
vital powers are weak, especially invalid ladies and the
aged, are earnestly recommended not to face the winter'
rigor without having recourse to this safe and sufficient
means of ro-enforcing enfeebled nature. Much suffering
may be escaped, much danger averted by following this
council. Better late than never, is a good proverb, but it
is better to be eaily than late.

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF M0KEY WHEN
COMPARED TO HEALTH 1
Those who are afflicted with a Cough or with Con
sumption read the following letter from a prominent
merchant of Marine City, Mich., dated July 28, 187a
Sear Sirt. The Allen's Iung Balsam has arrived. I
would not like to be without it, for It has saved my hte.
I took a bad cold, and a cough, and finally consumption
was seated npon me. I was in a very bad state. I tried
everything that was recommended, and spent a great
deal of money, and got no help I had Allen a Lnng
Balsam for sale, but I knew nothing of its merits. I did
not like to take it without knowing more about it. I
had not sold a bottle. When yonr agent called on me, I
told him I could not sell a medio ne I knew nothing
about. He urged me to try it myself. I did so and, (b
my grateful surprise, the first bott le stopped my cough
and, before the third bottle was taken, my lungs were
healed and well and I can now speak knowingly to my
friends and customers of the good qualities of Allen's
Lung Balsam.

Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the
system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed
and removed. Says a distinguished physlolrariat,
there is scarcely an individual upon the face of the
earth whose body is exempt from the presence ol
worms. It is not upon the healthy elements of the
body that worms exist, but upon the diseased hnmors
and slimy deposits that breed these living mousters of
disease. No System of Medicine, no vormifuges, no
anthelmintic will Eras the system from worms like
these Bitters.
