call together the elements of disease are evolved
The pressure upon every vital organ is never go

organs require to be reinforced to meet it.
We hold our lives, SO to speak, on repairing

dilapidation is most rapid and repairs are most
required. Therefore, build up, prop up and sus-
tain the powers of nature with that mighty veget-
able recuperart, HOSTETTER'S BITTERS. He
who takes it may be said to clothe himself IN
sanitary mall against which epidemic disease Will
hurl its poisonous shafts in vain. This Is no
eratuitous assertion, but great medical TACT,
attested by twelve years experience in every
climate of the habitable globe. Extremes OF tenn

| 1t Is often very convenient to have a
ready means of cutting glass into shapes
not easily obtained by means of the dia-
mond.- Many are not, think, aware OF
the fact that glass can be cut under water
with great ease, to almost any shape, by
simply using pair of ordinary mail or
other strong scissors. In order to insure
success, two points must be attended to
first, and most important, the glass must be
1 quite level while the scissors are applied !;
and second, to avoid risk, it is better to be-
ging the cutting by taking off small pieces
at the corners and along the edges, and so
reduce the shape gradually to that re-
quired, as, if any attempt is made to cut
the glass all at once to the shape, as we
should cut piece of cardboard, it will
most likely break just where it is not
wanted. Some kinds Of glass cut much
better than others; as far as know, the
softer glasses cut best. The scissors need
not be at all sharp, as their action does not
depend much upon the state Of the edge
presented to the glass. When the opera
ton goes on well, the glass breaks away
from the scissors in small pieces IN 9
straight line with the blades.--Netson ~
