A good wardrobe, economically pur-
chased, is indispensable to every bride.
An economical way of purchasing any
article required is really indispensable
to every housekeeper. A peculiar ia
cility to purchase at close figures is alb
solutcly necessary to the pater familias
of large families and moderate circum-
stances, and it is at least desirable that
dealers and jobbers in any and every
kind of goods and merchandise, be en-
abled to sort up stocks in small or large
quantities as may be required, from time
to time. All this can be accomplished
by addressing the New York Purchasing
Bureau, 7O4 Broadway, N. Y. Endorsed
by prominent New York men. Send

4 New Chicago Specially.

A Chicago paper says: Divorce par
ties are coming into fashion in Chicago.
Social philosophers say that all great
questions pass through three stages,
viz: Ridiculc, argument, adoption.
Chicagoians have bravely encompassed
them all, so far as divorce is concerned
and, as the world knows, now revel III
undisputed luxury of full possession. In
fact, divorce has become u fashionable
thing, and like all kindred events, such
as births and marriages, is celebrated
with festive proceedings. The West di-
vision witnessed an affair of this kind
the other evening. There was large
gathering, and the newly-made widow
received the congratulations of friends
and relatives with as much pleasure as
would a newly-wcdded wife after the
ceremony of marriage. A handsome
"divorce cake" was one of the features
of the occasion. 1t was mounted by a
handsome monogram, the letter cd,
for divorce, being entwined with the
lady's name before her marriage. There
were also some highly suggestive pres,

Instinct,

In speaking of the peculiar habits of
animals which follow certain curious
acts from one generation to another, the
youngest in the series, without instruc-
ton or the force of example, doing pre-
cisely as one of its remote ancestors did
hundreds of years before in the con-
struction of nest, building clay
house like the ants, digging hole or in
fashioning tray door over the entrance
to its den. as the tarantula always has
in California, it is called instinct.
1t Is unhesitatingly acknowledged
that this faculty or determination to
exercise the propensity to repeat the
ddngs of the parents. without ever hav-
ing seen or known them, curiously ex-
empli6ed in making hexagonal cells by
the honey bee, cannot be explained. No
amount of physiological or any other
hind OF learning furnishes the faintest
shadow of a reasonable answer to the
question. "By what means does nature
impel individuals In those lower ranks
of dumb life TO perform those marvels r
Man possesses physteoS and moral In
stinots combiHed-and because it is so
he Is a conscious progressive being. On
the other hand, animals have instincts
but no moral attributes, and conso-
quenAy never can rise above the leve
on which they move. Therefore, in
stinot is problem which Divinity alone
can selve. 1t is beyond the ken o
philosophy.

KILLED by A FALsEHOoD.-" He is
dead" said "a friend of ours the other
day, in answer to an inquiry after the
health ofa amutual acquaintance. "Dead!
you don't say so. OF what did he die 7"
"Of Credulity was the reply, she be-
licved in patent medicine of which the
chief ingedient was forty-rod rum, and
it proved the death of him." This was
true the unfortunate man had taken
for liver complaint, Il compound of fiery
alcohol and root juice, and it had killed
him. Now, did that misguided invalid
require tonicY He did but not a
spirituous excitant. Tho writer of this
brief statement is confident, from his
own experience, that if the Martyr to
Drugged Alcohol, had resorted to DIR.
WALKERS VINEGAR BErTERs, instead OF
to the poison ,ohh medical name which
proved fatal to him, he would to-day be
in the land of the living. The justly
popular vegetable specific contains nc
destructive element. 1t is tonic that

weaken, an antiseptic that neutraGze'

other fluids of the body, and a genera
Alternative which arrests diseased actor

many patent medicinesare merely poison
but the experience of thousands ha
proved the VINEGAR BITTERs to be al

T'ISTs AND QUARTS of filthy Catarrhal dis
charges Where does it all come from! The
mucous membrane lining the chambers of the
nose, and its little glands, are diseased so that
they draw from the blood its liquid, and ex-
posure to the air changes it into corruption.
This life liquid was to build up the system,
but it is extracted and the system is weakened
by the loss. To cure, gain flesh and strength
by using DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, which also acts directly, upon these
glands, correcting them, and apply Dr. Sage's

PetrifYing Human Bodies.

A traveller writes rs follows to the
London Ne,os: "The petrifaction of
corpses is not new art in Italy. At
the commencement of the present cen
tury it was practioed by a medical
man ut Florence, aud in one of the hos
pitfalls of the town the bosom of woman
was shown which was petrified by him.
1t has all the appearance of ivory, and
is in perfect state of preservation. In
the same hospital there is q table, ap-
parently of pietrs dtsra. The different
stones, however, of which it is formed,
are petrifed slices. of human flesh"

remedies, and is therefore an article of prime

A PORTABLE ICE HoUsE.-Take an
iron-bound butt or punchoon, and knock
out the head, then cut hole the size of
a bottle-corl1 in the centre of the bottom.
Put wooden tube twelve inches small
Ter into it, so that it will not touch the
edge of the butt, within six inches all
around it. Fill up the space with
pounded charcoal; put two pieces of
wood under the centre tub when it is
placed in the butt, and fit a cover with
a handle tightly to it. Arrange hooks
around the tub on which to hang fish or
meat, sc. Fill bag two feet square
with pounded charcoal to lay over the
cover of the inner tub, and fit cover to
the outside one. Bury it four-ffths of
its height in the cellar, which must be
dry; wet ground will not keep it fresh
Fill the inner tub one-third full Of ice,
which will not need to be renewedeoften-
er than once month. A hole similar
to the one bored in the outer tub should
be made in the inner, to carry off the
moisture. Keep the whole closely COW
cred, and you will have a miniature ice
house which will preserve fish, flesh and
fowl for a long time Country Gent.

it been known to fail of giving relief.
