|, FIXED FACT IN PHARMACY.-CC

\ FIXED FACT IL PHARMACr.-Conside
ing the multitude of diseases, it is amazing
that we live: In view of the countless RENE
dies for them, it is wonderful that we die.
Unfortunately, however, all the diseases are
realities; whereas most of the "remedes" are
humbugs. One exception TO the latter rule
demands the recognition and approval of the
press. We refer to DR.. JosEPH WALKER 5
VINEGAR BITrERs. OF the Doctor himself,
we know nothing; but of his medicine we can
speak from observation, for it seems to have
found its way into almost every household.
Probably it is more extensively used in tins
country as family remedy, than any other
preparation, although-it has not yet been be-
fore the world three years. Wherever we 20
we hear of it, and whenever We hear of it, the
comments on its efficacy are enthusiastic. We
have questioned sufferers from liver complaint,
remittenl fever, fever and ague, chronic head
ache. vertigo, Irregularities OF the bowels, ndi'
gestion, rheumatism, neuralgia, gout, kidney
diseases. and affections of the lungs, as TO its
effects, aud the uniform answer has been, 1t
is doing me good" Believing that 'what
everybody says must be true, we have no
hesitation in admitting hat VINEGAR BITTERs
is the Great Medical Success OF the present
| century.

Something to Do.

To insure persons growing up with
correct tastes, they should have some oc-
cupatien when children-something to
do regularly and thoroughly, no matter
what it is. Especially should they keep
busily employed in these exhilarating
spring days, when life itself takes new
lease of labor as well as pleasure. Not
that they should be taken from play /;
but play grows wearisome after time,
and work is needed as an antidote and
an elixir. Many ways can be found of
thus filling the lives of little ones with
variety of labor and relaxation, that
will prevent Jack-and Gill also-from
becoming either a" dull boy" or a mere
toy" If you would have the children
interested in home and its surroundings
and also have them grow up to love
work, and to depend upon that for their
happiness, give them personal interest
in something. One child may have a
piece of ground and be allowed to eulti-
vate it, appropriating the proceeds as he
pleases. Another may have few fowls
and be taught to keep an account of
their eggs and the cost of their keeping.
Even in towns, something of this kind
may D6 lOI cuCll lluIlc
which will combine profits with pleas
ure, and give them habits of industry.
We have been informed of one lad ten
years old who cultivated an acre of
ground last year, planting it with corn,
and tending it himself, who has now a
goodly sum of money invested as its
proceeds. He is putting in" still more
this year, with zeal pleasant to wit
ness, and taking time from play to do it
well. A girl of twelve has already
made the care of fowls a pleasure and
profit, and has several choice varieties
bought with her own earnings III this
line We have heard of one wise father
who gave his little son stand of bees,
with the assurance that its proceeds
should be invested for him till he was
of age the child to study the habits of
the bees and take all necessary care of
them. The first years proceeds were
unusually large and the little fellow feels
himself bee-keeper in reality. Ten
years will make him rich man, for he
will have habits of thought and obser-
walton worth more by far than the
money value of the bees. Other ways
of interesting children will present
themselves to parents and friends, and
we are sure no one will ever regret the
attempt when they find what diseip-
line it is for the growing children.

eight-page paper and contains forty
eight columns of interesting reading

the daily for the past two years, and

the publishers, we take pleasure in COM
mending this new enterprise to all who

are always well written, its selections

countries without an equal. In fact, it

THE CONTRAST OF ANIMAL AND
PLANT LITE.-In animals there is
more variety of motion, but in plants
there is more real power. A horse is
certainly far stronger than man, yet Il
small vine can not only support but can
raise column of fluid five times higher
than d horse can. Indeed, the power
which a plant exercises by holding u
leaf erect during an entire day without
pause and without fatigue is an effort
of astonishing vigor, and is one of many
proofs that principle of compensation
is at work, so that, the same energy,
which in the animal world is weakened
by being directed to many objects, is in
the vegetable world strengthened by be-
ing concentrated on few.-Bucller.

Write Home.

There can be no excuse for any young
man who never writes home, or whose
letters to the old folks there-whose
dreams are ever of their sen-are few
and far between, and not worth much
even when obtained. 1t is sad to think
that there are young men who let weeks
and months pass away without letter
to their parents, or their brothers and
sisters, who, when they do write, only
send line or two, with some lame ex-
cuse for not doing more line or two
saying nothing, just containing some
stereotyped statement of vague utter
ances, which gives no information. Why,
the value of a letter from young man
to the far-off town or village home, con-
sists in the little details its affectionate
gossip its account of any circumstance
or incident that may have promise in it
of advantage its story of hopeful
struggle, of dawning success or its re-
ferences to new-formed friendships, to
books read, churches attended, lectures
attended, with a thousand things be-
sides, which may be small i'll themselves,
but which show an interest in the home
circle, and manifest the beating of the
child's heart within the mans.
Young men are not aware what pain
they may infict by apparent neglect
how letters brief and unfrequent may
give rise to fear and doubt, and occasion
anxious days and wakeful nights Now,
don't neglect home don't seem indiffer-
ent to your own family, as if all your in
terests were transferred to strangers
Keep the chain of communication bright
by use, and write freely and fully, with
unrestrained confidence that it may be
felt that there is neither blight on the
affections, nor error in the life, which is
too often the cause of that lapse in filial
or fraternal correspondence which
though the result also, at times, of mere
thoughtlessness, is always unkind, and
sometimes cruel.-BdliOu'S Magaziae.

SALTING, PACKING, AND SELLING
BUTTER..- butter manual
recommend one or. of salt to a Id. of
butter, as sufficient for keeping but
the better paying class of customers,
who are little more tastidious about
the quality, prefer about one half as
much, and this is found sufficient if
the caseing has been properly removed.
Butter makers in the vicinity of large
towns should seek out regular customers
for their product, in which case it may
be put up in balls, or any other form
adapted to the demand. Philadelphia
prints" which have acquired world
wide reputation, are pound balls, with a
small figure upon the top. They are
usua ly inclosed in white linen nap
kin, and packed in a cedar, zinc-lined
chest, with apartments at each end for
ice, to keep it hard while being trans
ported to market,
For the great mass of butter-makers,
the wooden tub, holding from 30 to 100
lbs, must ever be the most economical
form of package. In the vicinity OF
New York city, heavy return pals, OF
the best white oak, with thick covers
having the owners name branded upon
them, are used and reused year after
year. In some parts of the West miser-
ably poor oaken tubs are employed,
which affect the butter very injuriously;
in other localities ashen tubs are favor
ties while in Northern Vermont the
most approved tubs are the spruce
Spruce is, unquestionably, the least liza
BILE of all timber to affect the flavor OF
the butter injuriously, while it is gener-
ally believed that for long keeping and
much exposure good white oak is pre-
ferable.
Stone and earthen jars and crooks are
sometimes used, but we do not recon-
mend them. Much depends on the pur-
ity of the salt it must be perfectly
white, completely dissolve in water to /
clear liqaid The office of salt is lst, tC

less what cannot be removed,

Thousands of pounds OF butter are daily sold
in the city of New York, which are adultcrated
with a substance made from cotton seed oil
lt is creditable to the farmers, as a class, that
they are not open TO the charge OF adulterating
their produce; yet they suffer from the dishon-
est competition of dealers who make up and
sell these fraudulent compounds, and by so do
ing affect uniavorably not only the sale but the
character OF the genuine article. As a matter
OF curiosity we describe an artificial compound
which was manufactured in Paris to supply the
want Of real butter during the late seige. The
refuse materials left after the manufacture OF
stearine from fatty animal matters, such as
tallow, ETC., consisting of an oily paste, COM
posed OF Oleine and margarine, were washed i'm
water calculated with muriatic acid for the
purpose OF bleaching it. 1t was then subjected
to the action Of a chemical solution for period
OF three hours, during which il was made to ac-
quire the taste and color of butter. This sub
stance, manufactured without any assistance
from the cows, was considered an excellent sub
stitute for butter, and was readily accepted in
place OF II by the people, who considered it much
superior to any other artificial product of this
escriPtIon.-ScieBtifc american,
