Hints to Consumptives.

Consumption is not a disease OF
the lungs, but one of the system,
showing itself in the lungs. If you
fully comprehend this, you are ready
for the common-sense treatment
Avoiding all local treatment by in
halation, all the panaceas, including
whisky and cod-liver oil fashionable
to-day, exploded tomorrow, employ
those natural methods, about which
wise doctors never differ.
l. Walk in all kinds of weather.
two or three times day. If too
weak for this, begin with the saddle.
2. Hanging by the hands, in rings
suspended from the ceiling, six feet
above the floor, swing backwards
and forwards, sideways and in cir
Gle. The effect upon the walls of the
chest is very remarkable. / have
known such swinging to reduce the
pulse very sensibly in a week. In
each exercise continue till slightly
fatigued.
3. Wash the entire skin in tend
water and good neutral soap every
morning, on returning from the first
walk, and rub the skin to redness
every night on going to bed with
sharp hair gloves. Lawrence's Eng
lish patent gloves are the best. All
druggists sell them.
4. Sleep much, retiring before nine,
adding nap in the middle Of the
day. Never forget that good ventil-
alton during the hours of sleep is vi
tai in every case Of diseased lungs.
3. Eat for breakfast and dinner,
oat meal, cracked wheat, beef, NUT
ton, plain bread, potatoes, and other
vegetables, except tomatoes. Use
no pastry or other trash. Eat no
supper.
6. Cultivate jovial people. Laugh
ter is the most precious of all possible
exercises for chronic lung affections.

The Material Growth of tue North
West.

The Hon. William B. Ogden. OF
Chicago. iectured at the Lowell To-
stitutc ~ tho Social Science Course,
last evening, on the material growth
OF the Northwest He began with o
geographical description OF that sec
ton, comparing its area and popuIa-
ton with the rest Of the country, and
then gave sketch Of it's develop
ment, especially since 1888, when the
tide OF immigration set thither, inter
spersing the account with some
amusing personal "reminiscences. He
ascribe1 tho extraordinary prospect
ty of this region, first to the prohibit
ton of slavery next to its fertile
prairies and again to the improve
ments in means of water transporta-
ton and agricultural implements.
The two browning elements of its
prosperity were the railroads and
emigration the latter especially, the
lecturer estimating that the 100000
emigrsnts who annually go to the
Northwest carry there S9,00O.000 in
money, most Of which they spend in
six months. The lecture was exceed
ingly interesting, but an extended
report is prevented by the press OF
other matter.

The Shrewdness of Women.

Women ere adopts in turning all
the weaknesses of masculine human
ity to their own account. They suit
themselves to the different tastes of
the men they meet, fatter their van
ity and fascinate them without the
unfortunGte victims of their wiles
having the slighest suspicion of what
is being done. They meyer exhibit
the knowledge they have gained
but always allow the subject OF their
Investigations to suppose that he is
producing the very impression Ie is
trying to produce invariably, to all
appearances, taking him at his own
valuation, but secretly marking him
down at exactly what he is worth
They know who likes spirited women
aud who is pleased with extreme
meekness and sweetness. They
know how to be appreciative, but
carefully avoid any exhibition of
learning as highly indiscreet. They
know VINO likes to do all the talking
himself, and who likes to be talked
to. They know who admires state
illness and dignity, and who is attract
ed by animation and wit. In short,
they know how to do all things TO
all men for the sake of their own adj
vantage.

way the serpents, not over fifteen OF
twenty feet long, have been able to
devour animals Of the size of goat.
When animals find their food in q
liquid state, they are provided, in
stead Of teeth, with trunt to pump
it in. Bees. butterflies and musqui-
toes, are instances of this kind.
We find the digestive organs OF
Of animals differing IN structure
with the nutritive power the natural
food contains. Species living Oh
flesh have Z less capacious digestive
apparatus than those living on grain
or fruit Hcrbiverous animals, and
more particularly Ruminants, have
> very roomy one. Those animals,
ing exclusively on grass or leaves,
which contain very little nutriment,
mu-t, in given time, absorb pref
ty large quantity, and as they cannot
take much at o time, they have TO
swallow it down hardly chewed.-
Now, it is just because this kind Of
food has very little nutriment, that
it needs to be minutely divided to
extract all the nutritive parts il may
contain. Had these useful animals
been organized the same az others
they could not, by feeding night and
day, and chewing properly their
food as soon as taken il their mouth
have been able to supply the wants
of their large bodies. Divine Wis
dom, so kind and wise, did, however,
obviate easily this difficulty by Civ
ing ruminants four distinct but COM
municating stomachs. The first,
denominated the paunch, is very
capacious bag. 1t occupies the left
side Of the abdomen chiefly, and is
larger than that of any other animal.
In this the animal accumulates its
food as fast as he can, and then re-
pairs to its usual resting place to
chew more thoroughly the cud.-
This remarkable function is executed
in this way: The paunch being filled
with grass, this penetrates near the
esophagus aperture, cavity named
kinghood. This second organ makes
it into ball or cud, and, by its con-
traction, forces it through the ESQ.,
phagus which brings it back into
the mouth. When the cud is well
chewed, instead Of re-entering the
paunch, it passes into the third stom-
ach (maniples) which communicates
with the esophagus, and Is reduced
into chyme. 1t then goes in the
fourth stomach (the Red which,
after the bile has acted upon it, sends
it into the intestines.

Who Killed the Southern Confederacy
E, A. Pollard's Answer.

The Southern Confcdcracy was
never conquered by the force Of arms.
No desperate and multitudinous bat
tie decided its fate. There was no
dramatic close !; it was the collapse,
suddenly and completely PROSTATE,
OF q throuughly rotton thing. Jeffer-
son Davis was not where, in his
speech at Rockets in 1861 he nrom.

or are remembered rather as crazy
farces than as classical romances.-
Into such mean and grotesque show
have dwindled and sunk all the the
atrical glories of the great Southern
Confederacy. From q descent so
base and ludicrous, it remains for the
historian of the South, at once faith
full and affectionate, to rescue the
fame of his country, to show that
great cause was lost, not, indeed,
through the weakness or demerits of
the people of the South, but that it
was ruined by the incompetency Of
leaders who, in proper order, should
have been at the rear Of its followers,
and burlesqued by the follies OF
champions who are thought of now
only as comedians and charlatans.

Sunday Funerals.
ny c. BUsHBY.

The time honored custom of assem-
bling together to sympathize with
the bereaved, scothe their sorrows
assuage their grief and perfom the
rites Of Christian burial, is ct once
both fitting and fraternal.
May the ever changing current Of
human sentiment leave undisturbed
this usage among people bound to.
gether by the ties of Christian broth
erhood.
Consistency may compel the dis
believer to bury his kindred in client
sorrow. Not so the Christian, who
believes "they are not lost but gone
before" What il human sympathy
cannot paint again the bloom Of
beauty on the cheek, kindle afresh
the glow Of giadness in the eye, re-
store To life the weird form wrapped
il robes OF solemn sadness for the
tomb, there is some consolation ia
knowing that we arc not left to bear
our grief alone. There is strength
in human weakness, the weakness OF
tear Weep with those that
weep" is written on the human heart
as we'll as on the sacred page.
IF there is one place more than an
other where the Christian minister
ought to be, it Is at the house OF
mourning. But when Sabbath fu-
nerals occur, ne is quito frequently
compelled to disappoint one or two
congregations in order to comply
with the very proper request to con-
duct appropriate religious services on
the occasion. | know q minister
who has not been able to meet one of
his congregations for two months,
being called elsewhere at every re-
currence of the appointment.
Let no one suppose that these ut
terances are written in o fault-fnding
spirit. Far from it. | am not only
willing, but prefer to go whenever
and wherever my services are desir-
ed. But permit me to offer a sug-
gestion or two: When circumstan-
ces permit, would it not be wise to
have the funeral on o week day
Those who could not take time to
attend then, would not be present
on the Sabbath out Of any regard for
you. When this is not desirable,
send the minister word, if possible,
in time to recall his former engage
ment or procure supply. Or have
the funeral services as near the reg
ular hour Of worship as possible.
There circumstances in which none of
these suggestions can be observed,
but it is not concerning such that |
write.
People being disappointed few
times become dissatisfied, and if sout-
siders," they refuse to go to church
any more seldom being present to
hear the reason for the disappoint-
ment, they attribute it TO sheer neg
lect on the part Of the preacher, do
ing him great injustice.
And now q word to those who per-
form the work of the sexton: Be
sure and dig the grave large enough +;
should it be few inches larger than
necessary, there is no harm DONE
1t is not unfrequently the case that
after riding several miles on q bitter
cold day, both ladies and gentlemen
have to stand in the snow for nearly
an hour while the grave is being suf-
fiaiently enlarged to admit the coffin
| believe that at fully one halt of the
burials that l have witnessed the
grave has been too small.

The Better Land.

There is place of blessedness. No
storm ever beats upon its shores
no famine or pestilence ever stalks
around its cities; no tears are ever
wept there; no disappointments
crush the heart. You have friends
and loved ones there. In the night
visions, "when deep sleep falleth up
on men," they are present with you
in dreams. There is q ladder like
that which Jacob saw at Luz, reach
ing from heaven TO earth and they
go to and fro upon it. They stand
beside you in the night watches and
utter the old words of love. Their
voices have caught something Of the
music Of heaven, though they have
not lost the old love tone. Their
eyes glow with much of that light
which battles the heavenly world,
but have not lost the tenderness of
the former times. They shake celes-
tial odors from their wings when
they come in these dream visits, and
for days leave all thesair about you
redolent OF heaven. We wish they
would come oftener, and bring with
them when they come, yet larger to-
kens OF tho land whittier they are
gone, and whittier we are going.
Ever and anon, another and an
other is being caught away from our
household and we reach cut arms
after them weeping bitter tears
Let il not be so. Let rather DO our

Women in Germany.

Ladies here are surprised at wo-

from Gottingen, and quite shocked
at the modern idea of women's rights.
That gentleman should give up his
seat in crowded house or public
conveyance is an astonishme to
them; they never heard of such a
thing in Germany. Wives carry
packages and garments for their hus-
bands, and not husbands for their
wives. Married women expect their
husbands to spend their evenings at
the club or museum, the coffee hous-
es or beer houses, instead of being
society for them and making home
attractive. 1t is perfectly proper
for young lady to go home alone
through the streets in the evening
it would be highly improper for a
young gentleman to accompany her.
