How TO LIVE EAsILY.-The art of living,
as to money, isto pitch your scale one degree
below your means. Comfort and enjoyment
are more dependent upon easiness in detail
of expenditure than upon any degree in the
scale. Guard against false associations of
pleasure with expenditure. The notion is
absurd that because pleasure can be pur-
chased with money, therefore money cannot
be spent without enjoyment. What thing
costs man is NO true measure of what it is
worth to him: and yet how often is his ap-
probation governed by no other standard,
as if there were a pleasure in expenditure
per Sc. Let yourself feel want before you
provide against it. You are more assured
that it is worth while to feel it little in
order to feel relief from it. When you are
decided as to which of the two courses you
would like best, choose the cheapest.
This rule will not only save money, but
save also good deal of trifing indecision.
Too much leisure to expense; because when
man is in want ofobjects, it occurs to him
that they are to be had for money, and be
lnvents expenditure in orderto pass the time.
Henry Taylor.

VIvISECTIoN IN FRANCE.-The London
Veterinarian gives the following account OF
vivisection as practlced in France, almost
too horrible to be published:
In building or shed open to the air on
one side lay six or seven living horses, fixo d
by every possible mechanical contrivance
by the head and feet to pillars, to prevent
their struggling, and upon each horse were
six or seven pupils employed in performing
different surgical operations. The sight was
TRULY horrible. The operations had begun
early in the forenoon; it was nearly 3o'clock
when we entered the place, so that the poor
wretches, as may be supposed, had ceased
being able to make any violent struggles
But the deep heaving of the still pantinS%,
chest, and the horrible look of the eyes,
when such were remaining in the head,
whilst in the head lashed to pillow, was
narrowing beyond endurance. The students
had begun their days work in the least vi
tai parts of the animal; the trunks were
there, but they had lost their tails, ears and
hoofs, and the operators were now engaged
performing the more important operations,
as tying up arteries, trepanning the cranl-
um, cutting down the more sensitive parts,
on purpose, we are told, that they might see
the retraction of certain muscles by pinch
ing and irritating the various nerves. One
animal had one side of his head completely
dissected and the students were engaged in
laying open and cauterizing the hook of the
same side when we entered.
There is no excuse for inhuman bar
barity like this

How TO SAVE CoAL.-Wood, as fuel, is
unknown in Pittsburg, and the following
suggestions with reference to the use OF coal
may be advantageous to all:
Some housekeepers, in the management OF
their fires, seem to suppose that an addition
of fuel will insure increased combustion and
develop additional heat. Coal and especi-
ally anthracite coal, should be always turn-
ished with sufficient amount Of oxygen to
keep the fire bright. 1t is only smothering
and retarding the fire to put in thick layer
of coal as some do. Fill the fire box from a
layer of two inches of ignited coal to its ut
most capacity with freh fuel. No more coal
should be put upon fire at one time than
readily ignites and gives offa pure white blaze
not bluehame, which denotes also the
presence of unconsumed gases-and the fire
should be undisturbed on the top. Another
point of coal economy In clearing the CRATE
in the morning there is a quantity OF I'M
burnt coal, which has been externally sub
jected to combustion. 1t is covered with
ash, and looks like cinder. 1t is often dump
ed into the ash-box The fact is that the
lump is only roasted on the outside, not even
cooked, and is in better condition for igni-
ting than the green coal. Never waste it
Attention to these few hints will save many
dollars in a winter-PittsJurg Chronicle

BULLS WORM DESTROYER. To my United States and World

I have received many testimonials from professional and medical men, as my alma macs and various publications have shown, all of which are genuine. The following let ter from highly educated and popular phy- sician in Georgia, is certainly one of the most sensible communications have ever received. Dr. Clement knows exactly what he speaks of, and his testimony deserves to be written in letters of gold. Hear what the Doctor says of BULLS WORM DESTROYER:

 DR. JoHN BuLL- Dear Sir. I have recent ly given your 'sWorm Destroyer several trials, and find it wonderfully effcacious. It has not failed in . single instance to have the wished-for effect. l am doing pretty large country practice, and have daily use for some article of the kind. am free to confess that know of no remedy recommended by the ablcst authors that is so certain and speedy in it's effects. On the contrary they are un- certeain in the extreme. My object in writ ing you is to find upon what terms 1 can get the medicine directly from you If can get it upon easy terms, shall use great deal of it. am aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the teachings and practice of q great majority of the regular line of M. D s, but see no just cause or good sense in dis carding remedy which we kuow to be eiil- ciena, simply because we may be ignorant of it's combination. For my part, shall make it rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering humanity which I may be able to command--not9ke kesitating because some one more ingenious Aan myself may have learned it's effects first, and secured the sole right to secure that knowledge. However, am by no means an advocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nostrums that flood the country, that purport to cure all manner of disease to which human flesh is heir. Please reply soon, and inform me of yonr best terms. am, sir, most respectfully,
