hope of obtaining relief: Every alter
nate pane of glass in one of the win
dows of the patients room was removed,
aud blue glass was substituted. The
patient then exposed her back to the ac-
ton of the combined blue and white
lights thus obtained for thirty minutes
each day, at the same hour. cat the
beginning of the treatment she was un-
able to sleep or eat, was in o miserable
condition, and was wasting rapidly.
At the end of ten days the pains in her
back were less, her hair had begun gr0w-
ing hickly, and there was a marked inn
provemeut in her condition. In three
weeks she was almost entirely WELL"
Gen, Pleasonton is gentleman of repu-
tation and influence, and would not be
likely to make assertions which could
not be fully sustained. Some of the re-
suits he testifies to having attained in
accelerating the growth of vegetables
and animals are really remarkable, so
much 80, in fact, as to appear inproba-
BILE. But we have no right to doubt
his word, even when he says that bald
ness can be cured by the influence of
blue.

THE Two EXTREMEs.-Two ella,

The Two EXTREMEs.-Two classes
of medical thinkers attempt to cure
disease by opposite modes of treatment.
One class forces the system into prefer
natural activity; the other depresses
and weakens it. Both are wrong. To
inHame the blood of an invalid with
medicated alcohol is as dangerous as to
apply undue steam pressure to a weak
boiler; and to PROSTATE the physical
energy, which is the natural opponent
OF disease, by depicting treatment, is an
act of almost equal temerity. There is
a medium between these two extremes,
and DR.. Joseph Walker, to whom the
world owes the famous CALIFORNIA
VINEGAR BITTERs, has been fortunate
enough to strike it. He has produced
from simple vegetable elements without
the admixture of any distilled or fer
mented fluid, specific comprising the
important properties of wholesome
tonic, a gentle evacuant, a purifier of
the secretions, pulmonic, sedative,
and powerful anti-bilious agent.
Never before were these six sanative
qualities comprehended in one medi-
cine, and never before did one medicine
cure so many different diseases. Dys-
pepsia, liver-complaint, diseases of the
kidneys, rheumatism. intermittent fever
disorders of the bowels, gsut, nervous
affections, and maladies proceeding from
impurity of the blood, are only few oi
the bodily ills for which VINEGAR BIT.
TIERS is considered an unfailing remedy

The " White Lady" of Germany,

The delusion, OF trick-probably the
latter-which has produced the supposed
apparition of the White Lady in the
Hofburg, at Vienna, rests on a supersti-
ton which seems to recur with singular
pertinacity among the votaries of the
supernatural in Germany. There is
scarcely German family of medieval
celebrity which has not its White Lady,
generally appearing, like her cousin, the
Irish Banshee, to announce some i'm
pending calamity. The original is said
to have been certain Bertha Won Rosen-
berg, by marriage, Won Lichtenstein,
who was killed by domestic ill-usage
about the middle of the fifteenth century,
and walked ever afterward.. But the
Rosenbergs intermarried with the more
famous house of Hohenzollern, and the
White Lady has somehow transferred
her residence to the Palace at Berlin.
Here her appearances have been numer-
GUS and manifold, but she generally
prefers "white mourning" costume,
and carries chatelaine and bunch OF
keys in old German fashion. White
mourning was worn throughout the
middle ages by the widows of deceased
sovereigns and princes. Since those times
the White Lady has shown herself SC
repeatedly at Berlin as almost to have
vulgarized her character as a phantom
And it is a rare proof of the simplicity Of
the old-fashioned German character (says
an English paper that, although the
superstition was turned to account, a.
might be expected in the neighborhood
of a Court, by all sorts of mystifers and
inventors Of practical jokes, it seems tc
have lived on just the same. On one oc-
casion number of ladies were indulg
ing in irreverent jokes respecting the
white spectre, when she suddenly ap
peared in the midst of them; they tool
to fight, but she caught the last of then
and inflicted on her very unspiritua
castigation. Another time she presented
a colonel, who was hard up for money
to pay the Electors troops, with sun
of a hundred thousand crowns, concealed
behind wall. The Elector accepted
the story and the loan, and the colonel
| fortune was made,

Secrets of Success.

The possession of superior genius does
not by any means ensure a mans sue
cess in business. All men who are en-
dowei with such peculiar gifts make bad
managers of any business, and are too
erratic for ordinary executive purposes
What, then, is the grand secret Of sue
cess Not high, intellectual attain
ments. Few scholarly men will lay aside
their devotion to letters for their own
sake, and follow the plodding course by
which success in business is to be at
tanned. And it lies not in the force of
circumstances. Some who might other
wise have been successful in O clear
course have doubtless broken down in
the face of popular obstacles; but the
man who can bend occasions and condi-
tions to his will can achieve his triumph
in spite of such adverse surroundings.
1t is not luck. There is less of happy
chance in such success than is common
ly supposed.
1t is true that many tempt their fate,
and escape as by miracle, but this can
form no r1le in life success in business
is obedience to q law that can be clearly
and distinctly traced throughout the
whole OF ones career. The law is based
on the principle that everything has its
price, and they only who are able and
willing to pay it can acquire what they
covet. Some are prevented through
want of nerve, or failing health, or de-
fective Judgment, or other mental and
physical defects, from succeeding in the
struggle. But more, who are able, fail
because they are unwilling to meet the
cost. They seek the end, but will not
by patient self-denial employ the
means.
Present ease, present qualification,
some form of indulgence not consistent
with the end which has been proposed,
offers temptation too strong for them
to resist. Tomorrow they will begin a
sterner course; next week they will turn
over another leaf with different reading
on the diverse side, but to-day let the
hands be folded and the old encum-
brance remain. No man is on the road
to success who has not already paid part
of the price, and is not now holding out
to fortune in full the next instalment
that is due,

Cooks and Cookery.

Hall OF our countrywomen, who are
in chronic misery about their cooks,
never stop to consider that principal
cause of their difficulties is their own
ignorance Of cooking. There exists not
ing than the New York fashionable
young lady, and the full force of this
fact probably only dawns upon her when
she is married. What contrast does
she present to those notable house wives
who were common enough in this country
a hundred years agol We have not the
least desire to see ladies, whose means
enable them to keep several servants oc-
cupying themselves chiefly with domestic
details; but. on the other hand, we would
have every girl thoroughly initiated in
their mysteries. Even in old countries,
where efficient servants are procured
with comparative ease, house holds are
rarely well managed where the lady Of
the house is ignorant of housewifelS
duties while here most of us know by
painful experience what her ignorance
entails. To know how a dinner should
be cooked, it is not necessary to cook
one. There are thousands of men who
never handled saucepan or spit, who can
tell exactly why dish is not quite right.
If, instead of thrusting cookery-book
into servant-girls hands and expect
ing her with its assistance to send up a
dinner, ladies were to set down and ex-
plain exactly how the thing should be
done, and praise and blame with discre-
ton the efforts of their handmaidens,
many a man would have far better
table, and persons of moderate means
would be able to entertain a couple of
friends with a decently good dinner
cooked at home, instead of going to
great expense by having the necessary
articles from restaurant. There would
be far less trouble about servants among
us if their mistresses showed kindly
personal interest in their welfare. This
especially applies to Irish servants, who
are peculiarly amenable to personal in
fuence. There are many persons here
who have not been used to servants in
their youth, and don't know low to
treat them. They are alternately distant
and familiar, and are dreadful indignant
when the servants become familiar too.
Those who are dignifed, considerate,
consistent, and firm, will get on with
servants here as elsewhere. Constant
changing generally argues pretty nearly
as much fault in mistress as in maid

A QUEER FANoY.-One of James
Gordon Benefits queer faneies was an
immense bird-cage filled with rare birds
from every part of the globe. So he
had made it Us large as house, and be-
fore it he would stand for hours and
study the habits of the different mem
bers of the feathery tribe. Sometimes
he would iken his different birds and
fowls to we'll known men in real life.
Once he stood with neighbor and kept
him laughing for long time as he
would point them out, with an apt re-
mark. Pointing to the robin, he said
that was Thomas A. Hendricks; the
woodpecker, that is Ben Butler; the old
goose is Sumner; the parrot is Gerrit
Davis; the old gobler is Conklin; the
crow is Fred Douglas (; the hawk is
Wendell Phillips; and the canary is
Sunset Cox, &c. This large house cage
is still to be seen at Washington
Heights.

Immense Wheat Farms.

The San Francisco (Cal.) Bulletin says
there are three wheat farms in the San
Joaquin Valley with areas respectively
of $4,000 acres, $4,000 and 1900 acres.
On the largest of these farms the wheat
crop this year is reputed to be equal to
an average of 40 bushels to the acre,
the yield running up on some parts of
the farm to 60 bushels. The product
of this farm for the present year is
100000 bushels. The boundary on
one side of this farm is about II
miles l.ng. At the season of plowing,
ten four-horse teams were attached to
ten gang-plows, each gang having four
plows-or forty horses with as many
plows were started at the same time,
the teams following in close succession.
Lunch or dinner was served at mid
way station, and supper at the terminus
of the field, II miles distant from the
starting point. The teams returned on
the following day. The wheat in this
immense field was cut with twenty of
the largest reapers, and we believe has
now all been threshed and put in sacks.
1t would require over forty ships of
medium size to transport the wheat
raised on this farm to foreign market.
Even the sacks required would make a
large hole in the surplus money of most
farmers. We have not the figures touch
ing the product of the other two farms
but presume that the average Is not
much below that of the first. There are
thousands OF tons of wheat which can
not be taken out of the valley this sea-
son, and must remain over as dead capi-
tai, or, what is nearly as undesirable,
will only command advances at heavy
rates of interest.

Severe Sentence on Bank Defaulters,

The severe sentences passed on Hoard
and Pearson, late cashier and teller of
the Rhode Island National Bank, should
have wholesome influence on bank
officials who may be inclined to use the
funds with which they are intrusted in
private speculation. Both of these men
had always borne high reputation in
the community, and were believed to
have accumulated moderate competen-
cies through years of thrift and economy.
They were neither gamblers nor fast
hvers, and the Directors of the bank
placed the most implicit confidence in
their integrity. The speculation COM
menced as far back as 1864, when some
thirty thousand dollars was abstracted
from the funds of the bank, and lost in
speculation. The bank was then State
institution. When the bank became
national one, Hoard and Pearson retain
ed their positions, and becoming inter-
ested in manufacturing enterprise in
Pawtucket, r. l., they drew the capital
for the undertaking from the bank. The
enterprise proved unfortunate, and
thousands upon thousands of dollars
were systematically embezzled and swal-
lowed up, until the deficit reached the
enormous sum of 100000. False figures
and false swearing on the part of the
cashier prevented the Board of Directors
and the public from suspecting the real
state of affairs, and it was not until last
January that an accidental circumstance
brought this long series of robberies to
light. The guilty officials made what
restitution they could-to the amount
of about 500. .00o-leaving their families
destitute. Pearson, the teller, was
sentenced to nine years in the State
Prison for embezzlement, and Hoard, the
cashier, who had added to embezzlement
the crime of perjury, was sentenced to
nine years at hard labor.
