DELICATE CREATUREs.-This is the
phrase applied by His Blackness, the
Moor of Venice, to the fair ladies of Italy.
1t was the lovely COMPLEXION Of Desde-
monia, such q radiant contrast to his
own, that won his heart; and sooth to
say, every man of discernment considers
q fair skin, like sweet voice, ian eX-
ccllent thing in woman" Now this
is q charm which can be 0cQnHcd.-
There is q hcalthful and odorferous to-
let article, known everywhere as HA-
CAMS MAGNOLIA BALM, which literally
transfgures cloudy or sallow skin,
suffusing the discolored face, neck, arms
and bosom with soft, pearly tinge, and
to the surface n smoOthncss
and gloss like that of polished marble.
Instead of clogging the pores, like the
sticky enamels, or contracting them, and
thus obstructing perspiralion, like the as
tringent cosmetics, it clcanscs the skin
from all impurities and wonderfully inn
proves its texture. This peculiarity is
particularly appreciated by our rural
bellies, who find that the coarseness and
roughness, which country air is apt to
cngender, are speedily removed from
their faces, hands and arms, by this do
lightful preparation.

Climates for COnsumptires.

Prof. Andrews, of the Chicago
Medical College, has been classify
ing the medical facts contained in
the census reports of 1860 and 1870,
and from these he finds that con-
sumption and cancer, are two dis
eases which are similarly affected by
and prevail In the same regions, and
that the two laws governing their
prevalence are as follows: First,
these two diseases are abundant near
the sea, and diminish as you reeede
from it; and second, at equal dis
lance from the sea they prevail most
at the North, and diminish as you
60 South. From this 1t follows that
the best resort for a comsumptiYe or
cancer patient is some. point which
is at the same time as far South and
far from the sea as. possible. Such
a place as New Mexico, where the
deaths from comsum ption are only
three per cent or Arkansas, where
they are FIVE per cent, while IN New
England, which is colder and sea
girt, they are twenty-five. per cent.
Entirely IN accordance with this rule,
but contrary to the popular opin-
ion, Minnesota is a worse place baaA
any other State, having fourteen per
cent. of deaths from consumption
though this may be because con
sumptives are sent there to seek
health. Mississippi, Alabama and
Florida have six per cent; GeOrgia
and S suth Carolina five per cent.

Noman,s IncompIeteness.

Woman is never complete A
restless night undoes the beauty of
the day; sunshine blurs the evanes-
cent coloring of her cheek; frost nips
the tender outlines of her face into
sudden harshness. Care ploughs its
lines across her brow; motherhood
destroys the elastic ightness of her
form; the bloom of her cheek, the
quick fash of her eye, fades and
vanishes as the years go by. But
woman is still true to her ideal She
won't know when she is beaten, and
she manages to steal fresh victories
even in her defeat She invents new
conceptions of womanly grace; she
rallies at forty, and fronts us with
the beauty of womanhood; she makes
a last stand at sixty, with the beauty
of age. She falls like Caesar, wrap
ping her mantle around-"buried in
wooden 'twould saint provoke. I"
Death listens pitifully to the long
ings of lifetime, and the wrinkled
face smiles with something of the
prettiness of eighteen.

Hints to Bee Keepers.

Work quietly; avoid jars; never
fight your bees, and always keep
cool. If you get stung, remove the
sting, squeeze out all the poison you
can, and apply harthorn. Use
plenty of smoke; a roll of dry rags
or deeayed wood makes the best;
blow it in the entrance and top of
frames. Ifyou are timid, use rub
Der gloves. OH your hands, and a
veil over the face and head; the veil
must be long enough to allow the
vest or coat to be put on over it.
When symptoms of robbing occur,
use the utmost caution. Contract
the entrance of weak hives and al
low no comb, honey, or sugar, or
sirup to be around. Avoid opening
hives as much as possible.

A Short Crop of Champagne.

It will be held to be dismal news,
by many who think they are IN the
habit of drinking champagne, that
an authority likely to be trustworthy
sends lugubrious tidings from
Chalons about the crop. This
writer describes the harvest as
scarcely a third of the average
yield, adding, "and this, too, after
a couple of years equally bad"
A result of this grieyous state of
affairs is, that wine is sent out when
only year old, whereas it used to
be kept till three, four, or five, and
of course suffers accordingly in quail
itv. The demand is enormously in
excess of the supply, notwithstand-
ing that within the twelve months
EIGHT million bottles have left Eper-
nay. The present harvest Is all be-
spoken, and there is consequently
every reason why our local manu-
fscturers of s0i-distaRt Clicquot
should make preparations for an
active and profitable season, know
ING, as they so well do, that, as one

thing that pops" has a well-wired

Just Taken His Bitters.

We heard a seedy-Iooking individual,
with an alarmingly red nose, remark to
a brother soaker that he had " lust had
his bitters, but he did not mind taking
another nip" His remark suggested a
train of reflection. How was It. we
asked ourselves, that the word Bitters
had grown to be a synonym for gin,
whiskey, rum and other alcoholic slim
ulants, to which it was applied indis-
criminately. Bitters, we reasoned.

EpizOOtic Remedy.

:. The following is the treatment
adopted for the epizootic in the
United States Army:
On the first appearance of the
disease, give the horse a thorough
steaming with Boiled oats placed in
q bag, and so fastened to the head
that the steam from the oats will be
inhaled. Repeat this until the dis
charge from the nOstrils is free and
of a natural color. Then take
leather, or what is better, carbolic
disinfectant, IN grains like large
sized cannon powder, place it in a
shallow pan, and burn it where the
horse will be obliged to breathe it.
If the throat is sore (Which will
generally be the case, apply, fire.
quently, hot vinegar, rubbing it well
IN with the hand, and wrap the
throat in flannel dipped in vinegar.
Sponge out the nostrils frequently
with warm vinegar. Blanket well
night and day, but not enough to
produce sweating, and give plenty
of fresh, clean bedding.
Give several bran mashes with
from one-ha.f to one ounce of p1w-
dered nitre in each, and use lin
seed meal or faxseed in the oats
Use tepid water in the mash.
The hay and oats should be
moistened with water-preferably
tar water.
Most cases, if taken in time, will
yield to the above treatment but
should the attack be very severe,
accompanied with considerable
fever and very sore throat. instead
of the vinegar, an embrocation of
equal parts of linsesd oil, turDentine,
tincture of cantharides and harts,
horn, should be rubbed in night
and morning

good.

Cable Screw wire Boots and shoes.

A word of explanation may not be
out of place. The cable wire acts as
screw, is strong and firm, and at the
same time is elastic and comfortable.
1t is much preferable TO the old meth
cd of pegging, and quite as soft and
elastic as sewed work, but much strong
er and less liable to rip, and much less
expensive. We have tried the cable
screw shoe, which has proved all that is
claimed for it. The increase in this
new method of manufacturing boots
and shoes is very rapid, and promises to
supersede the wood peg and waxed
thread Chicago Standard.
