CRIMINAL SECRECY.-The mart1nets OF
the medical profession insist that it is
beneath the dignity of a regular physi-
clan to advertise. If a member of the
faculty should discover an absolute rem
edy for any disease it would be a breach
of professional decorum to offer the
specific for sale through the journals of
the day. Scoring such prejudices one
of our leading practitioners is now max
ing known to the public through the
columns of over three thousand news
papers one of the most comprehensive
remedies for disease that has ever as
suaged the sufferings of humanity. DIR.
WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BTTTERS,
although comparatively a new medicine,
has already attracted the attention of
millions in both hemispheres. 1t has
been advertised through all the chan
nels accessible to advertising enterprise,
and the result has been the preserva-
ton of thousands of lives, and the pre-
vention of an untold amount of physical
torture. DR.. Walker thinks that the
greatest good of the greatest number )"
is the true object of medical science,
and hence he steps boldly out of the
contracted circle of professional exclu-
siveness, and places his great restorative
within the reach of all. Its beneficial
effect in cases of chronic dyspepsia, bill
iousness, kidney disease, govt, diseases
of throat and lungs, rheumatism, ner-
vous complaints, and all disorders of the
secretive and excretive organs, is be-
yond all estimate.

The Poor Old Bachelors.

III the old times it was considered
unpatriotic in a citizens to remain a
bachelor all his days. By the Spartan
law, those citizens who remained bache-
elors after middle age were excluded
from ali offices, civil and military. At
certain feasts they were exposed to
public derisions, and led around the
market-place. Although, generally
speaking, age was usually respected in
Sparta, yet this feeling was not mani
tested towards old bachelors. 6 Why
should 1 make way for you" said a
Spartan youth to a gray headed old
bachelor, you will never have a son to
do me the same honor when am old :?
The Roman law pursued the same pol
icy towards old bachelors. They had
to pay extra and special taxes. Under
Augustus a law was enacted by which
old bachelors were made incapable of
acquiring legacies and devises of real
estate by will, except from their rela-
tives. In cannon law old bachelors are
nj oined to marry, or to profess chastity,
or in earnest to become monks.

searching atmosphere of winter Damp has de-
pressing effect on the vital organs and the animal
spirits. The amount of life power taken of the
strongest of us by the chilling vapors which fire.
quently load the air at this period of the year is
very considerable. and to the weak and Ian
gu!d they are extremely deleterlous. To protect
the system against their effects 1t must be inward
ly toned, regulated and reinforced, as well as
shielded outwardIy by appropriate garments. This
essential service is safely and satisfactorily
accomplished by the daily use Of Hostetter's Stom-
ach BItters than by any other means within the
province of medical science The fact here stated
is as incontrovertlble as a demonstration in math
ainatics. Nobody disputes it. 1t is a matter of
common belief and Of general record. Here The case
might be rested but the public, naturally enough,
wants to know why this famous vegetable specl-
c is far ahead of all other med ciues of Its class.
This reasonable curiosity be readily grattied.

Treatment of Broken Legs.

They have a new way of treating the
broken legs of horses which ought to be
generally known. A valuable horse in
Hartford, Conn, had his leg broken a
short time since. The leg was careful
ly set by an experienced surgeon, and
was covered thickly with plaster
When the plaster ''set," or hardened, it
kept the limb as immovable as if it had
been made of iron. Thus treated, a
broken leg, it is asserted, will knit to-
eether in brief time, and become as
good as ever.

Keenin and Preparins LMcckerel.

Mr.. Isaac Hale, of Newburyport,
Mass, the famous mackerel dealer,
furnishes the following directions for
keeping and preparing mackerel and
other fish for cooking; which we lay be-
fore our readers with confidence of their
excellence
''To keep mackerel nice, and prevent
rusting, be particular to keep under
the pickle, after taking out the head.
The small head to kit is the one to re-
move IF the pickle should get below
the fish, fill up with more made by put
ting salt in cold water. Be sure that
the mackerel are kept under the pickle.
The cellar, or some place where you
have no fire and an even temperature, is
the best place to keep them, also, all
kinds of picked fish.
For boiling, soak "a hours for baking
soak 48 hours In the latter case cream
or milk can be used for cooking them
in. To avoid the unpleasant taste which
many persons experience, OF the rising
up in the throat after eating, skin the
mackerel before cooking, and white
pulpy substance will be found, which
adheres to the skin. and which contains
this strong taste
Dry Goldfish should never be. boiled,
as the flesh is harder the more it is
boiled. Strip up fine, then soak in cold
water until quite soft, and before
bringing to the table change the water,
and put over the fire aud just bring to
a scald, and it is ready for use. After
preparing dry fish in this way, turn the
water off, add small piece OF butter,
and milk or -four gravy, and you have
an excellent breakfast dish
To keep dry fish nice, and prevent
shining or drying up, pack them snugly
in box, and cover up air-tight, put into
a room that has no fire, (not in the eel
lar, unless it is a dry one,) and they
will improve much by age. Always
purchase salted fish if you want the
best. English, Portsmouth, or some
other sailed fish, are much better, also
cheaper, than the heavy, thick, pickle
salted fish, rs they will swell much IN
soaking, while the pickle sailed dry
fish will shrink Never select white
looking dry fish for a good one, but
rather one of a yellow cast. !

The first colony of Jews in New
York arrived in 1910, the city being at
that time still under the rule of the
Dutch. In 17O6 the first Jewish congre-
cation was formed. They built the first
synagogue in 1921. In 1874 there were
four synagogues; in 1854 there were
twenty; and at present there are at
least forty synagogues in New York.
The whole number of Jewish houses of
prayer in the United States is about
300.

The Eloauence of Figures.

The eloquence of figures rarely finds
better example than in the following
summary of the FrancO-Prussian war,
apropos of the death of Napoleon war
was formally declared between the two
powers on July Is, 1870, and terminal
ed on February Is, 1871, lasting 30
days, but practically $50 days, in conse-
quence of the first and last periods be-
ing free from engagements. In one
week the German troops were "mobil
lied, or prepared to march, and in two
weeks were dispatched to the west, and
were arranged on the line from Treves
to Landau. The troops sent to the
frontier numbered 10000 and 42, 900
men, with horses, guns, carriages, and
ammunition, were conveyed every day
on five lines Of railway, two of which,
however, were little used. Four Prus-
sian corps d'armee had to traverse from
400 to 600 miles to reach the French
frontier, and had to be fed on the way.
During the $50 days of active service,
there were fought 156 engagements and
II great battles; 26 fOrtresses were tax
en-, II, $50 officers and 1863, 900 men of
the rank and file were made prisoners,
and $500 guns and 120 eagles were cap
tured. The late emperor surrendered
at Sedan on September 40 days after
the declaration of war. and only 80
days after actual hostilities began.

Fishing is not always a remunera-
tive business, neither does it always
pay as a recreative sport. A man went
out for a days fishing last week, ant
when he returned he had walked fifteen
miles, lost gold watch, sprained his
thumb, spoiled $40 pair of pants by
sitting down on his luncheon, and
caught one bad cold and two toad-fish.
On his arrival his favorite cat attempted
to get away with piece of clam that
he had left on his hook, whereat said
cat caught the hook in her throat and
couldn't cough it up: and his son, in
trying to assist her, got another hook
into his toe, and the doctor had to cut
it out; and to top all his wife was dis
gusted and snappy. He says fishing
may do all very well for a man who is
born lucky, but no more for him.

The Farmers Vocation Perpetual.
We need not fear that the human race
will ever cease to have delight in the
cultivation of land-the raising of
grain and fruits-in planting trees.
Men always did delight in the pleasure
of agriculture. It has been the chosen
pursuit of the ablest and wisest men in
all ages. The pleasures of the hus-
bandman have been the theme of poets
and orators in every language and in
every land. These pleasures, Cicero
tells us, are not checked by any old
age, and make the nearest approach to
the life of wise man. And he tells us
that Homer introduces Laertes, sooth-
ing the regret which he felt for his son,
by tilling the land and manuring it.
Marcus GURUS. after he had triMnphed
over the Samnites, over the Sabines,
over Pyrrhus, spent the closing period
of his existence in agricultural pursuits.
CincinnatrIs was at the pillow when it
was announced to him that he was made
Dictator. "God Almighty" says Lord
Bacon, " first planted a garden and
indeed it is the purest of pleasures; it
is the greatest Refreshments to the spirits
of man, without which buildings and
palaces are but gross handiworks." Ad-
olson says garden was the habitation
of our first parents before the fall. 1t
is naturally apt to fill the mind with
calmness and tranquility, and to lay all
it's turbulent passions at rest. The
philosopher Bolingbroke was never SO
happy, Pope tells us, as when among
the hay-makers on his farm. And not
alone in the refinements of rural life
will there be an interest. Farmers hold
the world together. There may be
years when they seem to be of less con-
sequence. Trade or manufactures may
allure some of them for time. But
there will ever be latent in every mans
breast a hope to end his days on a
farm.
