tirely by employing cement which

prepared by solution of shellac in am

twenty members of the club then sprang
into the water, swan to the table and
drank their coffee, etc., the conditions
being that NO one was to touch the ta-

EDITORIAL NOTICES are so common
that it is almost impossible for an edi-
tor to express his honest opinion of the
merits of any article without being sus-
pected of interested motives. This fact,
however, shall not deter US from saying
what we think of a new addition to the
Materia Medica to which our attention
has been recently directed. We refer
to DR.. j. WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR
BITTERs, remedy which is making its
way into more families just now than
all the other advertised medicines put
together. Its popularity, as far as we
can judge, is not based on empty pre-
tension. There seems to be no question
about the potency of It's tonic and Alternative
properties, while 1T possesses the great mega
tive recommendation of containing neither
alcohol nor mineral poison. That it is spe-
citc for Indigestion, Bihousness, Constipa-
ton, and many complaints of nervous origin,
we have reason to know; and we are assured
on good authority that as general inyigor-
ant, regulating and purifying medicine, it has
no equal. 1t is stated that its ingredients
obtained from the wilds of California; are
new to the medical world; and it's extraordi-
nary effects certainly warrant the conclusion
that 1t is compound of agents hitherto un-
known. If popularity is any criterion, there
can be no doubt of the efficiency of the VINE
GAR BITTERs, for the sale of the article is i'm
mense and continually lncreasing.-TCom.

Fire-Proof Wood for Building.

Wood may be rendered nearly as
capab of resisting fire as brick or
stone, without great labor or expense,
by soaking the dried lumber short
time in solution of soluble glass, a
sillcate of soda or potash, and after
wards 1mmersing it in lime water, by
which the pores of the wood are flied
with silicate of lime. This substance
is fire proof, and cannot be dissolved in
water, and its presence and effect in the
fiber of the wo ,a are therefore perma-
nent. Soluble glass is readily obtained,
being already largely used in this coun-
try. This is not patented.

From under her Dolly Warden
Shone eyes of the softest blue;
And curving in crispest of crimpings
Flowed hair of auburn hue.
She seemed the fairest of maideps,
In her suite of white piaue.

And looked at her Lisle-thread gloves !;

The Je,oish Messenger, of New York,
fears that the Jewish faith is falling
into decay in America, and declares
that even the Jewish home is often
stripped of all evidence of Judaism.
Stated prayers are no longer OBJ
