Cloves.

Cloves are the unopened flower of
small evergreen tree that resembles in
appearance the laurel or the bay. 1t is
native Of the Molucca or Spice Islands,
but has been carried to all the warmer
parts of the world, and is now cultivated
in the tropical region of America. The
flowers are small in size, and grow in
large number, in clusters to the very
ends of the branches. The cloves we
use are the flowers gathered before they
are opened and while they are still
green. After being gathered, they are
smoked by wood fire, and then dried
in the sun. Each Glove consists of two
parts, round head, which is the four
petals or leaves of the flower rolled up,
inclosing number of small stalks or
filaments; the other part Of the Glove
is terminated with four points, and is,
in fact, the fower-cup and unripe seed
vessel. All these parts may be distinctly
seen if few cloves are soaked for a
short time in hot water, when the leaves
of the flower soften, and readily unroll.
Both the taste and smell OF cloves de-
pend on the quantity of oil they con-
tain. Sometimes the oil is separated
from the cloves before they are sold,
and the odor and taste are in conse-
quence much weakened by the unfair
proceedings.

Pain and Its Panacea.
From tho Daily Davenport Democra

While pain is a condition Of humanity,
every effort to ameliorate its intensity, or
remove the predisposing cause, merits our
warmest gratitude, and careful censdera-
ton, and its success our frank acknowledge
ment. There is q popularity about the sem
sation called pain which is Of infinite SER
vice. 1t is Fremont ton of impending i'll,
a declaration of war against the well being
Of the body which cannot DC removed while
the cause exists. Remove the cause, and
the effect will cease, endeavor to cover up
the effect, and the cause will be intensified,
the anguish temporarily concealed, to break
forth again with redoubled ardor. Many
remedies merely do this, and after repeated
trials, fail TO Salty the conditions upon which
only can they be useful to humanity. Such
medicines have brief popularity, and are
retired as unworthy Of public approval
There are others which time tries but to en-
nance their value, to endorse and spread
abroad their usefulness and common HUMANE
ty, the public, is perpetual gamer by their
extended popularity and expanded sales. Of
these, perhaps there are no such two nota-
BILE instances as the Davis Pain Killer and
Aliens Lung Balsam. The pain killer may
be styled the mathematics of medicine, for
it never makes mistake, its modifying in
huence pervades the system, and one tria
only is requisite to make it treasure for
ever. IL does not merely cover up, ~ cures.
All the civilized nations of the earth admit
the value, accept its fame and benefit by it's
use. 1t is no fattery to compare it to the
sovereign balm spoken Of in the Holy Writ,
for pain flies from its presence, as night is
dissipated by the rising sun. Externally,
internally and eternally it proves its value
wherever tried. The same holds good Of AL
lens Lung Balsam, which, for all COM
plants of the air passages of the lungs, has
proved itself what it processes to be-a
positive specific. The Western world owes
a debt of gratitude it can never repay to T.
II. C. Allen, whose instrumentality was the
main spring Of the introduction of these
medicines. For years he was the painstak-
ing pioneer of the Pain Killer and other
remedies westward, and the old man and
matron, the sturdy pioneer and his courage
Gus helpmeet, now enjoying a prosperous
old age, will testify to the aid and comfort
they received years and years ago from
these medicines, when drug stores were few
and doctors far apart. Under providence
they will attribute their green old age, lusty
and kindly, to their acquaintance with these
mixtures, through the admirable ADvRRrIs-
ING ENTERPRISE of Il. Ii. G. Allen.

Save q Little.

Every man who is obliged to work for
his living, should make it point to lay
up little money for that rainy day {"
which we were all liable to encounter
when least expected. The best way to
do is to open an account with the saw
ings bank. Accumulated money is al
ways safe; it is always ready for use
when needed. Scrape together five dol
lars, make your deposit, receive your
handbook, and then resolve to deposit
given sum, small though it be, once a
month, or once week, according to the
circumstances. Nobody knows without
trying it how easy thing it is to save
money when an account with bank
has been opened. With such an &C,
count a man feels desire to enlarge his
deposit. tgives him lessons in frugality
and economy, weans him from habits of
extravaganza, and is the very best guard
in the world against intemperance, dis
sipation, and vice.

Wooden Nails.

A little matter curiously illustrates the
influence of the opening up of the Far
East upon the nations of the West.
Wooden nails, as everybody knows who
has ever knocked tea-chest to pieces,
or carefully examined any piece of
Oriental homework, are in common use
in China, Japan, and Hindostan; and
now, with the increasing intercourse of
the United States with the two former
countries, the wooden nail is actually, to
certain extent, driving the common
iron nail out of use. 1t seems remark
able, now that machinery has been SO
perfected as to pour out the metal fas-
tening in unlimited profusion, that this
should be the case, but manufacturers
in the Eastern States are said to be
striking up quite trade in wooden nails
with the Far West.

Bronchitis.

This is an irritation or Inflammation
of the bronchial tubes which carry the
air we breathe into the lungs. Itarises
from a cold settled in the throat, from
Catarrh extending to these parts, from
scrofulous affections, and from severe
use of the voice. The irritation from
this latter cause commences in the
larynr and glOtiS, which are the Organs of
the voice, and, extending downwards,
produces hoarseness, coughing, and
splitting mucous matter, sometimes
mixed with blood. 1t is chiefly danger
Gus from its tendency to spread into the
lungs, and terminate in consumption.
1t is in the cure of severe and
obstinate cases of this disease that DR..
Pierces Golden Medical Discovery has
achieved unparalleled success, and won
the loudest praise from all who have
used it. 1t is sold by all respectable
Druggists. 5S4

A M arinc Novelty.

David Beel, Buffalo shipbuilder, has
vessel on the stocks, called a com.
posite tug, such as has never been before
built in this country. The frames,
beams, floor plates, keel and stern post
are of iron, while theplanks are of white
oak, two and three-q quarter inches thick,
screw -bolted to frames. All the inner
work liable to destroy is of iron, and the
remainder of white oak. This plan of
building is largely in use on the Clyde,
and has been found to result in happy
combination of lightness, strength and
durability.
