WONDERFUL RETETiATTOXS OF TUI' JliCROM'OPE. P'*«r«TPry of rhp M««t - • ■ — " clllu Drably Knemy .Ra found, an while in and unhen were extrer Dr Rue made him i subject, byj of Vili.ex an accouii *!nVkr>:d—The Bacillus and It* Ravngres, The scientific world has been greatlj startled and agitated of late by the discover* with the microscope of the most dreadful enemy of mankind in the form of myriads of little death-dealing parasites. The air we breathe and live in is charged with these deadly little growths in proportion as it is infecfel from various noxious sources. Having by recent experiments and research been shown to be the most fruitful cause of disease known, and the welfare and health of every individual depending so largely on the freedom from their destruc tive ravages, it is but natural that the re ports of recent investigators in this field of scientific inquiry should be widely read, and that every phase of these astounding disoov- 1 er es should be subject to universal discuss ion. At first ret.ivtd with some suspicion they have at length been thoroughly proven, and are now receiving the unqualified in dorsement of the lending scientific men throughout the world. But little else is talked of in the schools and clubs of science, and the medical and scientific journals are crowded with the testim ray that is being added corroborative of the value of the mar velous discovery _which if. pronounced the greatest advance in mediot.1 science of mod ern times. To L. Pasteub, the eminent French scientist, who by his learned investigations has saved to France so many millions of dol lars, is probably due the honor of first point ing out the terrible power of these germs. In recognition of his grea! service the govern ment has recently voted him from the public treasury $10,000, with uh’ch to continue his experiments. He has described several va rieties of the <e parasites, some comparatively harmless, others extremely dangerous. One form he proved by a series of vaccinations and other conclusive experiments was the cause of death of many thousands of ani mals and herds of cattle; another the active ngeut in the death of fowls by cholera. Act ing u; on the knowledge he had gained of the nature of these germs, he pointed out a means of relief that speedily prevented a spread of the diseases and ended their devas tation. Tyndau., with the aid of other eminent English investigators, made a number of ex- aminations of the floating particles in the atmosphere, and found numbers of living spores capable of producing disease. In dry and healthy localities but few germs were 1 these of the harmless varieties, uw damp places, crowded houses pthy cities, the poisonous germs jly numerous everywhere. lph Kocn, of; Wnllstein, Ger many, a man whose work in connection with the organisms of contagions diseases has recognized authority upon the experimenting after the methods , has discovered and published ; of one of the most dangerous varieties, io which it is proven more deaths are due man to any disease incident to the human race. He describes it as a simple cellular organ ism belonging to the same order as the bac- r trfia. When dried the germs may, without losing any vitality, endure great extremes of temperature. Being as fine aud as light as dust, invisible to the naked eye, they may be blown any distance by the wind or carried upon the clothing or body.. Like seeds, they rnay lie for months or years undisturbed upon the furniture, floor, carpets, curtains, walls, or in the bedding, and only requiring a proper degree of warmth, moisture aim food to waken into life, develop and grow. They thrive and live in the blood, lymph, mucus and secretions of the human body. When the system is unhealthy or weak they attack the cells that make up the animal frame. Any albuminous fluid will furnish them with food for growth, and a single drop is sufficient to contain hun dreds. Examined with microscopes of great power, which enlarge them so that they can be seen and studied, they have the appear ance of minute rod-iike bodies having, when active, some power of motion. They bend in the middle like a bow and straighten with a jerk that sends them a few times their own length. At the temperature of the human body they are the most active. Their power of increase or reproduction is remarkably great. One germ in a few weeks’ time, under favorable conditions, will give rise to millions. The process is by simple growth and division. Cold destroys or pre vents their growth, and this is why refrigera tion prevents decay of meats and other ani mal foods. Wxposed, to warmth these gmall organisms attack and eat up the uloummoua tissues, leaving a foul mass. The odors so common to this process are given off by these miuute organisms,and is about the only indi cation of their presence. This is the warning of nature and it is an instinct to avoid all such smells. The foul breath, bad odors of old i ores, etc., leads man to avoid those germs in a great measure. The danger of their pres ence in the body can be imagined when their rapid increase is considered. A few germs may be readily absorbed into the system by breathing air containing them. They are thus drawn into the interior of the body through the long and narrow respiratory passages of the throai, chest and nose, which are lined with soft membrane aud covered with sticky mucus. In this fluid they tind ready lodgment and favorable condi tions for development, increase and growth. The “ cold ’’ or catarrh, oziena or chronic oitarrh, hay fever, etc., are common manifestations of the ef fects of one of the least harmful of these germs or microsymes. In the discharges from the respiratory passages at such times thousands of the living auimnlculre are foum’. The fever, debility, pains “in the bones,’’ loss of appetite, etc., are indications of their depressing effects upon the vital organa. It is from germs of slower development, however, that the greatest danger follows. To the one most fully described by Kocn is due more deaths than to any other known cause. According to the researches of Cut- teb, Flint and Dejeuine, over eight million people die every year from this cause alone. The annual deaths in France, England, Germany and Russia from their destruction was over one and a half millions. In the United States and Canada over three hun dred thousand persons perished in the last year from the bacillus alone. The most common disease resulting from it is con sumption of the lungs, but other organs of the body are liable to be affected as they de velop slowly but surely in any organ that may be in a weak or unhealthy state. If active and healthy, the liver, kidneys and bowels have to a wonderful extent the power of expelling these deadly animaloula or parasites from the system. And this fact furnishes an important indication for the successful treatment of all the long list of maladies caused by these parasites as will be hereinafter shewn. The studies of Lancisca, an eminent Italian, and Wood, Fobmad and others, are interest ing, as showing the large variety of chronic diseases as heretofore classified, that result from these germs. Among the most common were “liver complaint,'' biliousness or torpid liver, dyspepsia or indigestion, lung affec tions. bronchitis, kidney diseases, chronic diarrhea, spinal complaint, fever-sores, white swellings, hip-joint disease, rheuma tism, malarial diseases, such as fever and ague or intermittent fever, general and nervous debilitiee, female weaknesses, chronic catarrh of the head or ozaena, many forms of un healthy discharges from internal organs, and all the various scrofulous affections of the skin, glands, bones, joints, etc., including consumption, which is but scrofulous dis ease of the lungs. In this large catalogue of apparently wide ly differing diseases, but really all depending upon a common cause, and therefore natu rally to be successfully treated on the same general principles, examination of the blood and secretions revealed large numbers of these parasites, and curiously enough the number bore a direct relation to the severity of the disease, a compar atively small number being pres ent in mild cases and a very large proportion in bad cases. Under the use of the specific treatment which they give, and which is substantially the same as that described and recommended later in this re view, the number was seen to steadily dimin ish from day to day until, with the restora tion of health and bodily strength, they could not be found at all. The greatest variety of symptoms were found to accompany their presence, due to peculiarities of the constitution, the part of the body most seriously atlected, and the ef forts of the different organs to rid the system of these germs. Among the most common were frequent headaches, neuralgic pains, nausea, constipation, poor or variable appe tites, diarrhea, bad breath, hectic fever, congh, night-sweats, cold extremities, dyspepsia, catarrh, sore throat, sore eyea, etc., while where the skin waa affected, salt-rheum. boils, carbun cles, scurf skin, erysipelas, St Anthony’s fire and other symptoms were common, and all gradually bat with certainty were cured by the same means. The hectic fei er so often met with in consumption, with the hanking or tearing congh, night sweats, diarrhea, and other symptom doe to the efforte of na ture to mrow on ana expei tnese germs were also readily controlled and cured in the same way as were the old sores, abscesses and ulcers in the lungs, liver and other im portant organs. The corrosive acids and mineral poisons are found to possess the power of killing these germs, but the dangerous nature of such powerful agents prevent their internal use. For the purpose of expelling the germs when once within the system it is necessary to resort to vegetable remedies in order to Olennse the blood of the germs without in jury to the patient. An American physician of large experi ence in the treatment of all forms of chronic diseases, now conclusively shown to be caused by parasitic life, for many years de voted much time to the investigation of the causes of these affections, and in the treat ment of many thousands of cases developed tnd thoroughly tested a combination of veg etable agents w hich-he used with marvelous success iu their cure. In cases of wasting disease, as consump tion or scrofula of the lungs and other or gans, and in all cases attended with great weakness, it was found to exert the most wonderful tonic and restorative influences, beside its nutritive properties far surpass those of cod liver oil or any of the remedial agents resorted to by the medical profession in such cases. Hypophosphites, iron and quinine bear no comparison to it in build ing up the strength of the debilitated. The recipe, as advised by him, has been used for years with the greatest success in a vast and most successful practice. The written experience of the many suffer ers who have been cured and who express in terms of the highest praise their indorse ment of its great value, arc sufficient to fill volumes. Living witnesses are everywhere, monuments to modern genius aud scientific progress in the healing art. Sufferers from “liver complaint,” giving rise to “bad blood,” consumption, scrofula, and other affections and symptoms, the re sults of blood poisoning from the ravages of the deadly parasites or disease germs so briefly referred to, find in this remedy prompt relief aud a permanent cure The great and increasing demand for thii God-given and peerless remedy for so many apparently different, but really kindred, ail ments, led to its preparation in pure and convenient form under the name of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It can be obtained the world over at drug and gen eral stores, and full directions for its use will be found in the pamphlet that surrounds each bottle. It exerts the most won derful stimulating and invigor ating influence on the liver, that greatest gland of the human system, which has been not inaptly termed the “house keeper of our health.” Through the in creased action of the liver and other emunc- tory organs of the system, all poisonous germs are rendered inactive and gradually expelled from the system with other impuri ties. In some cases, where there are un healthy discharges, as from the nostrils in cases of either acute or chronic catarrh, the use of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, a mild and healing antiseptic lotion, should be associated with the use of the Discovery. It is also advisable to use this lotion in other local manifestations of disease of mucous surfaces. By this means the germs of disease are destroyed and the membranes cleansed before any of the poisonous bacilli are absorbed into the blood. In sore throat, quinsy or diphtheria, the Catarrh Remedy liquid should be used as a gargle, aud the Golden Medical Dis covery taken freely. In women where weakness of special or gans is common and almost certain to be developed, attended by backache, bearing- down sensations and other local symptoms, the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip tion in conjunction with that of the Dis covery, speedily restores the healthy func tions and assists in building up and invig orating the system. In any case where the bowels have been costive and are not regulated and acted upon sufficiently by the mild laxative propert es possessed by the Golden Medical Discovi r/, Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Purgative Pellets (UtUe liver pills), taken in small doses of only one or two each day, will aid materially in estab lishing healthy action, and in expelling the disease-producing germs from the blood and system. At the risk of repetition and by way of re capitulation, we may truthfully say that Golden Medical Discovery cures all humors, from the worst scrofula to a common blotch, pimple or eruption. Erysipelas, salt-rheum, fever sores, scaly or rough skin, in short, all discuses caused by disease germs in the blood, are conquered by this powerful, puri fying and invigorating medicine. Greateat ing ulcers rapidly heal under its benign influ ences. Especially has it manifested its po tency in curing totter, rose rash, boils, car buncles, sore eyes, scrofulous sores and swell ings, white swellings, goiter or thick neck and enlarged glands. “The blood is the life.” Thoroughly clease this fountain of health by using Gold en Medical Discovery, and good digestion, a fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital strength and soundness of constitution are estab lished. Consumption, which is scrofulous disease of the lungs induced by the deadly disease germ bacillus, is promptly and positively ar rested and cured by this sovereign remedy, if taken before the last stages of the disease a re reached. From its wonderful power over this terribly fatal disease, when first offering this now world-famed remedy to the public, 1)b. Pieboe thought favorably of calling it his “ consumption cure,” but abandoned that name as too restrictive for a medicine that from its wonderful combination of germ- destroying, as well as tonic or strengthening, alterative or blood-cleansing, anti-bilious, diuretic, pectoral and nutritive properties is unequaled, not only as a remedy for con sumption of the lungs, but for all chronie diseases of the liver, blodd, kidneys and Inngs. If you feel dull, drowsy, debilitated, have sallow color of skin, or yellowish brown spots on face or body, frequent headache or dizziness, bad taste in mouth, internal heat or chills, alternated with hot flashes, low spirits and gloomy forebodings, irregular appetite and tongue coated, you are suffering from indigestion, dyspepsia, and torpid liver or “ biliousness.’’ In many cases only part of these symptoms are experienced. As a remedy for all such eases, Dr. Pierce's Gold- en Medical Discovery has no equal, as it ef fects perfect and radical cures. For weak lungs, spitting of blood, short breath, consumptive night sweats and kin dred affections, it is a sovereign remedy. In the cure of bronchitis, severe coughs and consumption, it has astonished the medical faculty, and eminent physicians pronounce it the greatest medical discovery of the age. The nutritive properties possessed by cod liver oil are trifling when compared with those of the Golden Medical Discovery. It rapidly builds up the system and increases the flesh and weight of those reduced below the usual standard of health by wasting diseases. The plan of treatment that we have so briefly outlined in this article for the large class of chronic diseases referred to, has long been acknowledged to be the most success ful, based as it is upon the belief shared by the most skillful medical men of the day, that the only way to get rid of the nox ious disease-producing germs in the blood and system is through the liver, kidneys aud bowels, and therefore that those agents which are known to act most efficiently in re storing healthy action of these organs are the ones most to lie relied upon. BW this pur pose the Golden Medical Discovery is pre eminently the agent that fulfills every indica tion of treatment required. A belated pedestrian going up Fort street, in Detroit, at e late hour the other night, thought he observed a fig ure oronohing in the latticed porch covering a front door. The matter had a suspioious look, and ho halted and looked over the fence. “Go on, now 1” called the voice of a female through the gloom. “Do yon live there ?” inquired the man. ‘ ‘Indeed, I do.” “Can t jon get in?’ “Indeed, 1 can.” “Well, what are you waiting for?” he aaked, after a pause. “What tor?” she demanded. “Would a re spectable woman be crooked over here at this hour of the night, with a olnb in her hand, if she didn’t expect her husband every blessed minut ?” The best way to cure ooras is not to have them. Have yonr boots and shoes made to fit yonr feet, instead Of trying to shape yonr feet to the boots and shoes. If you are so unfortunate as to have corns, soak them in warm water occasionally, out off the softened sur face, and in due time they will be seen no more forever. AGRICULTURE. J. H. Jolt gave to the Montreal Hor- ticnltnrai Society directions for planting black walnuts, of which the following is the substance: Avoid transplanting the trees if practiceable, by planting the nuts where the trees are to remain. The rows shenld be four feet apart each way. At this near distance the trees will grow up without lateral branches (wliioh are apt to be tom off by snow or wind). and they may be thinned as their growth requires. The nuts should be sunk about two inches in the ground. The rows should be perfectly straight, set v ith a line and marked from place with stakes, so as to show accurately the young plants the first year in culti vating. The ground must be thoroughly prepared beforehand, and'the richer the more rapid the growth. Always sow in the fall if practicable. If the nuts are lett till spring out of the ground they become dry and will not grow. We have found no difficulty in transplanting the young trees at five or six feet high, and have measured a number set in streets more than 20 years ago which are now about 14 or 16 inches in diameter,grow ing in grass and near flagging. Herbebt Osborn, of the Iowa Agri- oultural College, recommends as reme dies for the scurvy bark louse and the oyster shell louse, kerosene and soap, The kerosene may be used pure where it can be done with safety, but ordinar ily it must be diluted with water. This may be accomplished by forming an emulsion of kerosene and milk (skimmed milk answers well), and then diluting with about an equal quantity of water, or by sbaking up a mixture of milk, kerosene and water in equal parts, and then adding more water, taking care not to add so much as to cause the mixture to separate. Sprinkle or spray it upon the infested twigs and branches. Soap is an excellent remedy, Make a solu tion of whale oil soap, one-lourth of a pound of soap to a gallon of water, and apply to the infected parts of the tree, repeating the application alter a few days. Lye is said to have been used with good success, but is considered unequal to soap. Professor Shelton, of the Kansas State Agricultural College, gives bis views concerning the continued culture of broom-corn on the fertility of the soil in the college paper, the Industrialist. He says: “Ultimately, the effects of such crops as broom corn, hemp, flax, and perhaps castor beans, which furn ish no stock feed, or but very little,will be seriously felt in Kansas in the loss of fertility sustained by those lands upon which these are cultivated. The fact that broom-corn is a hoed or culti vated crop makes it much less danger ous than is flax, which receives no cul tivation during the period of its growth. The general rule for every farmer who lias a higher aim than to scourge his lands aud then seek newer ones is to grow no crop upon a considerable scale that cannot be used wholly or in good part as stock feed. This has been the rule of really successful farmers the world over, and at a near day will be the rule in Kansas also.” A correspondent claims that he gets the greatest number of eggs when he feeds his hens on wheat screenings. He feeds in this way: “I have fed sorghum seed, corn meal, oats, corn middlings, and have concluded that feeding wheat in the morning and shelled corn at night with a feed of shipstuffs wet up, having a good dose of ground pepper put in, and then baked and fed twice a week, and once in a while substituting pow dered sulphur in place of pepper, is the best plan. I have good shelter, and good, clean nests; feed regularly and sl.ow them u good range, with plenty ot gravel to scratch in. I sell the fowls when they are two years old,and always keep the hens for hatching. ” I have never been able to obtain a pound of butter from less than 10 quarts of milk, under the best management and from the best milk. Thus presum ing the cow to yield 2190 quarts of milk per annum, we haye 219 pounds. This at 28 cents per pound amounts to $61,32. A quart of milk weighing 2 pounds, 2190 quarts then weigh 4880 pounds. Deducting weight of butter, it leaves 4161 pounds of skim milk and buttermilk, or 2080 quarts. This at 2 cents per quart, would be $41.60.which added to the price of butter, gives $102.92, and leaves a balance ot $28 82 net per cow. This is presuming my figures correct and no allowance lor shrinkage of the liquid in deducting the solid material The Boston cultivator says that the flowers of raspberries, where this fiuit is largely grown, are ruining the honey product of the neighborhood. The bees like this food, but nc human has been discovered who appreciates the product. The honey from raspberries is a dirty- yellow in fcppearauoe, with a very disa greeable ouor. A writer mokes the statement that one of the neighbors planted some cab bage plants among his corn where the corn missed, and the butterflies did not tind them. Hhe has therefore come to the conclusion that if the cabbage patoh Were in the middle of the corn field the butterflies would not find them, as they fly low and like plain sailing. On a cranberry farm at Hyannis, Mass., $40,000 worth of cranberries have been sold last season, and $7000 paid to pickers at the rate of from 1 to 2 cents per quart Picking affords busy work during the time so occupied, and, alter the crop is gathered the gleaners often secure large quantities of the trait A new white potato, called Duke of Albany, is becoming very popular in Eugland. It is a sport of the Beauty of Hebron. Most of oar American po tatoes do well if taken to England; but the rule does not work both ways, as American farmers who have planted im ported seed have found to their cost He was a Pennsylvania fanner on his return from Washington. “You see,’ he explained to his fellow-passengers in the ear, “I discovered a chalk mine on my land a few days ago—tons and tons and acres and acres of red chalk. I’ye been down to Washington to see oar members of Congress about putting a tariff of 50 per cent, on all imported red chalk, and they wouldn’t make a move in the case.” “la it possible?” gasped one. “Yon bet 'it’s possible. It’s not only possible, but the minnit I begin to throw my chalk on the market over will oome a whole fleet of English vessels, each one loaded with chalk, and another of America’s great indus tries will receive its death-blow at the hands of pauper labor. I tell you, gen tlemen, we might as well be infernal cannibals as free-born American patri ots!” DOMESTIC. There are many women, at least two in every village, «ome of whose moments are made bnraonsome on account of having in their sitting-room, behind the coal stove, a long shelf of wood. This is usually painted white, to match other wood-work in the room, and on this white-painted surface the soft, gray dust settles all the time. There is no vigilance short of the eternal which serves to keep it free. A young >wife tried this plan, and it is so nearly satis factory that she tells it for the benefit of others: Make a lambrequin for the shelf; it may be of aida canvas or of Maorame. It need not be a deep lam brequin; from ten inches to fifteen will answer. Then .cover the shelf witb crash and attach the lambrequin to it. The dust may settle there, but if given one careful brushing in the morning you will not be disheartened by seeing it for the rest of the day. The lambre- brequin in the ease mentioned was made of Maerame. and was crocheted; three spaces were left through which scarlet ribbons were run; the edge was finished with a deep, large scallop. The ribbons were put in lengthwise. If one ohoose to do so, the ribbons could |>e put in the other way and the ends could be left a little longer than the lambrequin, and, after being turned back in points, little tassels of crewel could be put on. This -is a pretty de sign for a corner bracket. Treatment op Diphtheretio Sore Throat.—Every now and then we meet an epidemic of a form of sore throat which, in many particulars, resembles dlptheria. The onset is sadden. The disease is ushered in by chilliness of actual shivering, followed by fever, loss of appetite, headache and pain in the throat, aggravated by swallowing. On examination, the tonsils, the arch of the fauces, and in many cases the uvula, are red and swollen, and in some eases albumen is found in the mine. The temperature may reach 105, while the pulse is much accelerated. It is dis tinctly infectious, for wives become af fected subsequent to their husbands, and in some families all the members are attacked. Such an epedemio has recently appeared m Edinburg, and Dr. Allan Jamieson, who makes a report of it in the Edinburg Medical Journal for December, has found the most marked benefit to result from tne internal ad ministration of salicylate of soda and local application of a solution of boro- glyceride in glycerine, frequently dur ing the day. To Ripen Cheese, Stilton or Other. —A connoisseur recommends that every day when the cheese is about to be re moved from the table after dinner that holes shall be stack in with a silver fork, all over the top of the cheese. Into these holes are poured either beer, sherry or port, or all three just sufficient to fill Up the holes, no more. When off the table it should be kept on an open dish in the pantry, with n clean cloth, wrung out in cold water, folded and laid on the top of it; the cloth must be changed every day, and it must Be merely damp, not wet. When a very large whole cheese has been bought it is best to cut it in half, and carefully to cover the half not intended for im mediate use with writing paper, thick ly spread witkv fresh butter; not one little space should be left uncovered; then wrap the whole in brown paper, tie it round with string, and keep it in a dry cool place till within a fortnight of being wanted, when begin to treat it as described above. That*—That though beefsteak may be made eatable by mincing it pretty fine witb a chopping knife and cooking quick ly in a pot with a dose cover, to prevent the steam from escaping. That salt pork will be as nice, nearly as fresh, if soaked in sweet milk and water, equal parts. That clabbered milk is better than water for freshening salt fish. That half a cup of vinegar in the wa ter will make an old fowl cook nearly as quick as a young and does not injure the flavor m the least. That liver should be thrown into boiling water altar being sliced thin and then fried in lard or drippings. That pie crust will, not be soggy if it is brushed over with the white of an egg before the irqit is pnt in. That a piece of cork is better than cloth in applying brick dust to knives. Anaesthesia by Rapid Breathing.— If a person is directed to breathe hard and rapidly lor some time, a condition of anesthesia is soon produced, in which there is complete rdaxation of the muscular system. It is not an easy task to get a patient to do this effectu ally. One has to urge the patient. “Breathe hard, deeper, faster. Still keep on 1 Do not stop! ! Just a little more,” etc. The effect will be most marked, the contracted muscles will relax, and a general “limp” appearance ^ill be noticed; this is the moment to seize for the reduction of dislocations, incarcerated or strangulated hernia, etc. This method, as W. A. Berridge points out in the British Medical Journal of November 25, 1882, is one to be borne in mind by country practioners, and in fact at all times when anmsthetios are not procurable. Organic Impurities in Water.—A very simple and important teat for de termining the quality of drinking wa ter, and especially as to its freedom from sewage contamination, is given in the Pharmaceutical Journal. Thu con sists in placing a few grains of the best white lump sugar in half a pint of the water in a perfectly clean, colorless glass-stoppered bottle, freely exposed to daylight in Hie window of a warm room. If the water be perfectly free from sewage contamination, it slioold not become turbid, even alter an ex posure of a week or ten days, in which case it is almost certainly safe, other wise not. Blotting Books.—A neat home-made blotter is composed of half a dozen strips of colored blotting paper, twelve inches in length, the edges are carefully trimmed to a uniform size, and fastened together atone end by perforated points, through which a pretty ribbon is passed and tied on top in a bow knot. The upper sneet of paper can be decorated with a spray of daisies or sweetbner in water color of the flowered design. Children should have warm night gowns fastened around the ankles, as they are sore to kick oft the clothes in the night. It is better to sleep in a moderately cool room, though dressing in such an atmosphere is not conven ient in the morning. On this ouuount a servant or some member of the family should be entrusted to go around the first thing in the morning while the family is in bed, and eloee windows and doors and open registers, so as to make the rooms comfortable for dressing, HUMOROUS, A young lady residing near Belfast, in Ireland, was visiting some relatives in this State a few winters ago. She pretended to be very mnoh puzzled over the demooratio state of affairs in onr Repnblio. The village baker was a Justice of the Peace, and a shoemaker had been elected Assemblyman, while the State Senator from that district was a coarse, illiterate man—none of them by any means gentlemen, as she under stood the wor d. She went skating with the children one afternoon, and after her return told a friend that on the pond the butcher’s boy had greeted her and offered to assist her in patting on her skates. “You didn’t allow him to do so, did you ?” demanded her friend a little indignantly. “Oh, yes,” she aaid, “and skated with him, too. didn't know but he’d be the United States, and I didn’t want to offend him.” A RniuirUable Care of Nerotala.

The little fellow knelt at bis mother’s knee and prayed God to send him fifty little sis ter and one hundred little brothers. The prayer was never finished, for the mother, aghast at the prospect of hav ing her house turned into an orphan asylum, lifted the boy to his feet, and tacked him into bed without a moment’s lay. “Buchu-Pl The quick, complete cure, all annoylBg* Bladder and Urinary Diseases. $1.
