LASTING LoNIvELEss.-Twenty ears ago,
when paint, pearl powder and enamel, were
running the compilations and destroying the
health of women of fashion, HAGAN's MAGNo-
LA BALM was brought out as a pure botanical
cosmetic, guaranteed to restore bloom and
beauty to the skin. From that time to the
present it has been continually rising in public
estimation as the safest and most exceptional
preparation of its class. Instead of producing
an artificial, metallic surface, like the deadly
enamels, or willing the cuticle like the poison
Gus fluids sold under various names as ''beau-
tifers,' it keeps the skin as soft as velvet
renders it as smooth and glossy as satin, and
imparts to it that delicate, rosy tinge, which

alarmed at the non-appesrsnce of customers
panic will seize the community. and, aside
from the many millions to be lost in the value
of horses, the most disastrous unsettling of val
ues is more than probable.
The disease seems to be without precedent.
1t exhibits itself in three forms-Catarrbal
Rheumatic and Gastro-Erysipelatous - all
termed by veterinaries Epizootic Iafuenza.
To prevent the disease, the well animals
must not now be hard worked. They must
be kept on soft food-like bran-mash
carrots and salted hay-not allowed to
drink cold water-warmly housed and well
blanketed-have plenty of clean bedding and
rubbed with proper stimulating emollients
Those which are sick il. addition to the above
should be given warm fax-seed tea, Muriate of

be kept well rinsed with pure warm water the

quickly absorbed by the system, and acts
alike on the glands muscles and lungs. 1t

doc, Turpentine,o or Capsicum. Well horses thus
treated will not take the disease, and in stables
where four-fifths of the horses have been attack
ed this treatment has cured the most OF them
in few days 1t is estimated that there are
now 81, 900 sick horses in New York, Brooklyn
and Jersey City and the disease is rapidly
spreading throughout the country.

FLOWERS AS sINFECTANTs.-Lovers of

kingdom, will be happy at hearing that flow
ers, instead of being unhealthy in rooms, are,
on the contrary, disinfectants in disease.
Professor Mantegazza has discovered that
ozone is developed by certain odorous flowers.
A writer in our clever contemporary, Nature.
states that most of the strong-smeling vece-
table essences, such a, mint, clover, lavender
lemon and cherry laurel, develop a very large
quantity. of ozone when in contact with al
mospherlc oxygen In light. Flowers destitute
ofperfume do not develop it, and generally
the amount of ozone seems to be in proper
ton to the strength of the perfume emanated-
Professor Mantegazza recommends that in
marshy districts, and in places invested with
noxious exhalations, strong-smelling flowers
should be planted around the house, in order
that the ozone emitted from them may exert

Now. Dolly, dear, I'm going away,
And want you to be good all day.
Don't lose your shoes, nor soil your dress,
Nor get your hair all in a mess;
But lieauite still, and up I'll come
To kiss ysu, soon as i get home.
I'd take you, dear, but then you know,
It's wax Sabins's turn to o.
She's sick, I'm 'fraid. Her eyes don't work !;
They open worse, the more jerk;
She used to be so straight and stout,
But now her sawdust's running out.
Her kid is out Of order, dear.
My papa says she's out of gear.
That's dreadful, isn't it? But then
The air will make her well again.
So, Dolly, won't you stay alone,
And be real good while am gone?
Good by, my precious! Yes, I'll come
And kiss you, soon as get home.

NOVELTIES FOR COLD WEATHER.-While
there is no very marked change in the shapes
of the hats and bonnets, different effect
somewhat is giver. by their being worn very
much further back on the head. Frank Les
lies Lady's Journal says that the dressing of
the front hair is now allowed to be perfectly
seen. With the strings tired under the chin,
the present head dress becomes a bonnet;
when tied behind it becomes at hat.
Gloves with three or four buttons are the
most fashionable for street wear. For the
evening, with short or flowing sleeves, from
six to twelve buttons are worn. For the
street, black wood, aud all neutral tints are
in vogue. For the evening, according to the
color of the dress, flesh color, pearl, lilac,
lavender, pale primrose and white-the last is
the style for weddings.
The toes of shoes approach the pointed
shape; the heels are much broader for walk
ing shoes, and not so tall. For full dress,
Louis XIV. heels continue to be popular.
Frills Of lace, muslin, etc., are still worn in
the necks of dresses, as variations to the linen
collar. In ties there is nothing new. Those
of silk serge in all the late cOlors, are the
most appropriate and popular
The Dolman is likely to be the favorite
wrap; while sacques-plain, halfftting and
close-fittng-and talmas, with the single or
double cape. will still find favor.
As the season advances, furs, for trimming,
will increase in popularity. 1t is almost too
early yet to decide upon one fur over an
other. The staple furs are well understood.
We predict 6wore to some extent for lynx.
We have seen some very beautiful specimens,
and they cannot fail to gain universal favor.
The fur-'ined circular, usually made of hea-
w black silk (for season or two so popular
in Paris) will meet with greater appreciation
in this country this season.

THE largest bridge in the world is said to
be the Texas and Mobile bridge, on the Mo-
bile and Montgomery Railroad. Its lenoth is
fifteen miles, crossing the Mobile and Texas
Rivers, and incudes ten draws, one for each
of the navigable channels into which the
rivers are divided. The bridge itself is con-
structed of wood, but its pillars, or supporters,
are iron cylinders, which rests on a solid sur
face of wooden piles, driven down evenly with

During the Franco-Prussian war it was es-
timated that, averaging both armies, five
Germans outweighed six Frenchmen. Not
only are the Germans huge compared with
Frenchmcn, but huge as compared with their
own ancestors. The Prussian soldier who
fought at Sedan averaged three inches larger
round the chest and two inches taller than
the Prussian soldier who fought at Waterloo.
This astonishing development is ascribed to
fifty years of stringent military training, en-
forced upon the whole male population.

in the soil wherein fate has planted her. but
must needs spend her best time and strength
in frantic efforts to pull herself by the roots
and transplant herself somewhere else. The
snobs who ride in circus chariots curl up
their noses at the schoolmistresses, the school
misstresses look down from infinite heights
upon the clerks and dressmakers, and the
clerks and dressmakers in turn pay it off with
inter, st upon the kitchen girls. What noh

a schoolmistress any better or higher up than
washerwoman? Not bit. And are not

lady loafers, the-the Stole Moores of the
feminine sex, in short? Yea, verify.
Women are the most absurd creatures, all
owing to the silly fancy that it is lady-like to
be loafer. A little time ago one of my
small busy housekeeper friends asked lady
loafer what had become of her sister.
''She goes down town every day, now,"
says the lady-loafer, hesitatingly.
'Is she at work ?" quoth the housekeep-
er.
swell, ye-yes," says the lady loafer, still
more hesitatingly.
''What does she ?' asked my friend.
The lady-loafer stammered and backed off
painfully, two or three times, and finally
made clean breast of it, thusly:
''She-she-she has charge of the trim
ntings in a--dress-making establishment.
She has nothing to 60 with the dress-making
She has charge of the trimmings. 1t is not a
common dress-maling establishment. It's
one of the fashionable dress-makers. She
won't make dress for poor person."
"Oh, glory! tan me with a cabbage leafp'
quoth my friend, the small busy, house,
keeper.
The idea of body's dress-maker setting
herselfto be "highstocracy." The laurels OF
the lady loafers in the circus chariots are
quite faded and withered after that. And yet
why not a dressmaker? Isn't money made at
dress-making quite as aristocratic as money
made with pork, whiskey, hides, soap, tallow
aud tobacc3? Those are the material foun-
dation upon which our American nobility
found their airy castles of aristocracy, you
know, and Pm sure dress-making is quite as
high and honorable as any of them.

TO Careful Investors.

1t is seldom that Mortgages upon new Railroads
are considered sufficiently safe for the investment OF
Trust Funds. 1t is only when a Railroad is earning
net, an excess of its interest obligations with GER
tainty of steady growth that its Bonds can be said
to be perfectly safe.
The CHICAGO, DANyILLE & VINCENNEs RAIL
ROAD is doing this, and has this certainty. That
part of it known as the ILLINOIS DIVISION (from
Chicago to Danve, 1872 Niles) finished last year,
