SPRING MATTRASS.

This Spring Bed costs, with a Mattrass. but a
triAe more than the common Spring Beds, with
out Mattrass, with ten times the elasticity; and
the springs are so fastened that they cannot get
out of order. The opinion is justly prevalent
that feather beds are not healthy. Here is bed
which is not only soft, but healthy. Read what
DR. Alcott says of this style of spring bed in his
"Home book of HEALTH" page 934.-'As to
feathers they seem wholly inadmissable, not be-
cause they are soft, but for other reasons-more
softness would be a recommendation. 1t is on
this account, more than any other, that l prefer
the elastic wire bed so lately come into fashion.
1t secures all the advantages of feathers without
have resting place and not a few parts merely"
This bed can be bought of the manufacturer at
wholesale or retail,

VALUABLE PROPERTY OF THE ALoE.-The
following additional property of the aloe has
recently been discovered by accident: A
gardener near Paris, had the misfortune to
scah both his feet very badly. lie was
quite alone and no one within call, and be
ing compelled to shift for himself he plucked
the leaf of an aloe, split it in two and ap.
piled the raw surfaces to his feet. Greatly
to his surprise and satisfaction, the pain
ceased at once and the leaf turned violet
color, and the next day, no traces of the
scald remained except dark blue stain.-
This curative property of the aloe was sub
seouently verified ut the Museum in Paris,
on workman whose whole back had been
blstered with steam. 1t was also verified
by Lamaire, Professor of Botany in Client,
by curing cock, whose arm had been
scalded The aloe used was the Socterine,
or aloe Of Sacotra: but it is thought that the
aloe of Of Cape of Good Hope would prove
equally eff acious. The American aloe may
also possess like qualities, but this we do
not affirm, never having heard Of its being
tested.
