The Indictment Season,
And its effects on the Weak and Feeble.

ana as efectS on the weak and Fee6te.
The drafts which searching cold makes upon the
vital powers of the debilitated and delicate are
not less severe than the drain upon their strength
caused by excessive heat. The vast disparity be-
tween the temperature of over-heated rooms and
offices, at this season. and the frgidity of the outer
air, is fruitful source of sickness TO fortify the
body against the evil consequences of the sudden
alterations of heat and cold referred to- the vital
organization should be strengthened and endowed
with extra resistant power by the use OF a whole
purpose, whether embraced in the regular phar-
macopeia, or advertised in Che public journals)
there is none that will compare in purity and ex-
cellence with HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT
TIERS. Acting directly upon the organ which
converts the food into the fuel of fe the prepare
ton imparts to it a tone and vigor which is com
inundated to every fibre of the frame, The d.
gestive function being accelerated by its tonic
operation, the liver regulated by its antibilious
properties, and the waste matter of the system
carried off punctually by its mild aperent action,
the whole organization will necessarily be in the
best possible condition to meet the shocks of win
ter and the sudden changes of temperature. The
weak and sensitive, especially, cannot encounter
these vicissitudes with safety unless their tender
systems are strengthened and braced by artificial
means. Every liquor sold as staple of trade is
adulterated, and were it otherwise, mere alcohol
is simply a temporary excitant. which, when it's
first effects have subsidized, leaves the physical
powers (and the mind as welD, in worse condi-
ton than before. HOSTETTER'S BITTERS, on
the other hand, contain the essential properties of
the most valuable tonic and Alternative roots, barks
and herbs, and their active principal is the mel

Our Boots and Shoes.

THE Scientific american says: 1t is
somewhat surprising that, with all our
boosted Improvement, we have not yet
produced proper covering for the foot.
Barbarous people, if their climate admits,
go with bare feet or wear sandals, cover
ing only the sole and q portion of the leg,
in material almost imprevious to air or
moisture, and, generally, uncomfortably
hard and rigid The color and polish of
our boots are directly calculated to attract
the suns rays; and the enamel on patent
leather, and the blacking on calfskin,
tends to harden and solidify the substance,
closing the pores and making alright
cases for portion of the body which
exudes more perspiration than any other,
and is subjected to greater strain. Our
boots in summer parboil our feet ina warm
bath, and in winter freeze them in an icy
envelope. 1t is doubtful if wet feet are, in
themselves, very conducive to disease
some medical men to the contrary not
withstanding; but cramped confinement
of the feet, in an icy cold envelope gene
rated by perspiratlon and chilled by the ex.
ternal atmosphere, thus shutting the i'm
prisoned feet almost alright, is as un-
healthy as it is uncomfortable. For hot
weather there is hardly any shoe so agree
able as that introduced within the past
three or four years, known as the army
shoe, and extensively used by base ball
players. 1t is of heavy canvass and un-
BACKED leather. 1t is cool and remark.
ably easy to the foot. The texture of the
canvass allows the escape of the perspir-
alton, and the color of the shoe does not
attract the heat of the sum- It would seem
that the plan of covering other portions
of our bodies with material pervious to
air, might advantageously be extended to
our feet. There is no natural reason why
our feet should be so much less sensitive
than our hands. They become indurated
and deprived of their natural activity by
long, close confinement. The people OF
warm climates, who use their toes as we
do our fingers, and the schoolboy, who
picks up and throws pebbles with his feet,
show that the foot Of the civilized adult in
our climate is q much abused member.
A more flexible and porous material for
our boots and shoes might save us from
many of those terrible annoyances, which
in the form of corns and bunions, make
our pilgramage one of pain.

In the Way.

A MOTHER who was preparing some
flour to bake into bread left it FOR a few
moments, when little Mary-with childish
curiosity to see what it was-took hold of
the dish, which fell to the floor, splitting
the contents. The mother struck the child
severe blow, saying, with anger, that she
was always in the way. Two weeks after
little Mary sickened and died. On her
bed, while delirious, she asked her
mother if there would be room for her
among the angels. ~ was always in your
way, mother you had no room for little
Mary And will be in the angels way |?
Will there be no room for me?" The
broken-hearted mother then felt that no
sacrifice could have been too great could
she have saved her child. !s.

The Kitchen Garden.

THE farmer cannotspenda few evenings
to better advantage than in laying out the
garden now. Take slate, and, after
measuring or pacing out your garden,
draw it out on your slate and then sub
divide it. Arrange your planting so that
the driest part of your ground shall be
first planted and first titled and in put
ting in your Lima beans and corn it is very
easy to place them where they will not
shade other low growing vegetables. If
you have a tight fence, or nearly so, on the
north side, arrange bed there for your
tomatoes; warm, sunny location will
bring them forward full week earlier.
If in a locality where they will grow
properly, lay out plot in the lightest soil
(if sandy, or little inclined to gravel, so
much the better for sweet potatoes; a
hundred hills will supply your family for
month or two. Put your cabbage and
caulifowers where the soil is newest or,
if all has been under cultivation for some
time, make minute ON that patch on your
slate to;spade it q little deeper than usual,
so as to get up little new earth with the
old. = = lo spsassste-.r esff
Whatever you plant in r0qos let the rows
run down hill, regardless of their position
to the sun otherwise every heavy rain
will form puddle on the upper side Of
the row, and make the ground heavyTand
sodden. Leave a border of say two feet
wide on either side of the main path, for
flowers. unless you have separate garden
devoted entirely to them) your wife and
daughters will thank you for it. Don't
begrudge them the time to care for them.
Their happy faces and glad hearts should
more than pay, you; besides light heart
will accomplish taojce as much work as
one that is denied these cheap, beautiful
and health-giving pleasures, and kept in
the same old dull routine month in and
month out. t-~.-.. -
If not already set cut, devote spot
60pssaC'lere to strawberries and raspberries.
+ 1t will probably be found necessary to
your garden more than once

Drill In Your Oats.

In moderately rich soil, oats should be
planted with grain drill, putting about
one bushel, of forty-fve pounds, to an
acre. Flowing the ground in the fall
will enable you to sow oats much earlier
than spring blowing, and the earlier
oats are sown the better are the chances
for good yield in quantity and quality. If
the spring season is very wet, ground that
has been plowed in the fall can be sown
almost as early. as spring blowing be-
gins. Late oats do not have time to ma
ture, and, unless the season is very favor
able, generally prove failure. In most
of the Southern States, oats should be
sown in January or February.
Oats that are drilled in are improved
by stirring between the rows, the yield
being often increased twenty per cent
First-rate soil is not necessarily needed to
raise oats, but the richest soil always pay
best. Seventy to one hundred bushels is
not an extraordinary yield for the best
kinds of oats on good SOIL If the sea-
son be too wet to plow, prefer put
ting in oats with q shovel pillow on clay
soil. On sandy soil it yields best to drill
it in with super phosphates. Jour-
