Summer Dangers.

The summer sunshine that clothes the earth
with 1uxuriant vegetation, evaporates vast
amount of crude, unwholesome moisture from its
surface, which, mingling with the air in the form
of mephitic gases, produces a variety of febrle
and other diseases. The body being debilitated by
the warmth of the season, and the pores being
wide open, gaping as 1t were for the seeds of sick
ness, any infectious principle that may exist in the
atmosphere, is readily received into the system,
when it bears baneful fruit in the shape OF malar
ious fever, biliousness darrhoea, dysentery, collie,
sickness at the stomach. headache, nervous
prostration In order to prevent these vistations.

influences. Brace theinner man with Hostetter's

whether present in the air we breathe. the water
we drink, or connected with our mamma of life or
the nature OF our pursuits, that science has yet
given to the world. The experience of twenty-five
years has taught an observant people. that this
uuexceptionaI and agreeable tonic and Alternative
possesses preventive and remedial virtues that are
shared by no other medicine of the present age.
1t has taught them also that while 1t is infinitely
more eff cent than any of the poisonous alkaloids
prescribed as tonics it is absolutely and entirely

IT frequently happens that farm will
not divide we'll among children there
is trouble in making an equitable dis
tribution of the property. In such in
stances it is we'll to consider the subject
of life insurance. For small sum paid
annually, a large amount of ready
money may be left to the widow OF
daughter at the period of ones death
and they will be just as independent as
the sons who divide and keep the farm.
This suggestion is well worth needing
by thousands who are interested, and
we commend them to the old New

Broadway, New York. Full particulars

The Girl of the Period.

Sauntering before one down Broadway,
is one panorama of awful surprises
from top to toe. Her clothes charac-
terize her. She never characterizes her
clothes. She is upholstered, not orna-
mented. She is bundled, not draped.
She is puckered, not folded. She
struts she does not sweep. She has
not one of the attributes of. nature nor
of art. She neither soothes the eye
like flower, nor pleases it like pic
ture. She wearies it like a kaleido-
scope. Surely, it is one of the requi-
sites of tasteful garb that the express
sion of effort to please shall be wanting
in it that the mysteries of the toilet
shall not be suggested by it; that the
steps to its completion shall be knocked
away like the sculptor's ladder from the
statue, and the mental force expended
upon it be swept out of sight like the
chips on the studio floor. Who that is

slider the " exertion of intellect" ex-
pended upon the contemplation of the
modern belle. An exhaustive analysis
of the law of excluded middle, an in
telligent defense of the categorical i'm
perative, a serious attack of the theory
of evolution might justify it. If eek

terion of grace or any sense of the fit

we are more or less conforming every
day of our lives. Fifty years hence
they will seem to us as uncultivated as
the nose-ring of the hottentot seem,
to-day. The dictum of our great
grandchildren upon, for instance, what
has been termed the kangaroo style
of dress will further contain new and
severer elements of criticism than any
which go to form our Judgment upon
fashions which repel us only because
they are out of date.-MSsS Phelps.

greater crop is at hand, it will most
likely come forward very freely. What
the price Will be no one can foretell,
though it will most likely go quite low,
so that the "seller year." at the rates
now prevalent in Chicago, would prove
most ikly good deal. There is one
thing in this connection we desire to
say to Missouri wheat-growers. When
threslling wheat, rye or barley, the top
and bottom bundles of the stack ought
always to be thrown out and shelled out
separately for chicken feed. If per-
mitted to go through the machine with
the balance of the stock it will deterio-
rate the whole crop 10 to Is cents per
bushel. Better throw these top and
bottom bundles entirely away than suf-
fer this to hammer.

JUST TAKEN HIS BTTTERs. heard
a seedy-looking individual with an
alarmingly red nose remark to a brother
soaker that he had "just had his Bit
tiers, but he did not mind taking another
nip" His remark suggested train of
reflection. How was it, we asked our
selves, that the word "bitters" had
grown to be a synonym for gin, whisky,
rum, and other alcoholic stimulants, to
which it was applied indiscrinately.
Bitters, we reasoned, suggested the idea
of a healthful tonic, not of poisonous
stimulant something invigorating to
the system, not an alcoholic irritant,
full of fusel oil, producing present in
toxication and ultimate insanity, idiocy,
or premature death. Moreover, our
idea of bitters was totally irreconcilable
with "gin cocktails" "rum punches"
and "brandy mashes,'' which, we are
informed, are sweetened with sugar,
and rendered doubly injurious with es-
sences colOred by means of mineral
poison. This was bitter-sweet with a
vengeance. We mentioned this problem
to friend. He solved it by exclaim-
ing "Why, don't you know that most
of these bitters advertised as remedies
are only drains in disguise. Topers
know it, if you do not. I must make
one exception, however, he added,
and that's DIR. Walkers California

Sensible.

The press everywhere clamors for
life insurance at low rates. The Ma
tional Life Insurance Company of the
United States of America offers it at
three-fourths the rates of mutual COM
panies. 1t guarantees their suficiency
by their million dollars capital, and has
two dollars assets for every dollar of
liability. It wants an agent in every
locality not now supplied, and will give
liberal commissions for reliable service.
E. A. Rollins is president, and Jay
Cooke is chairman of the finance com
mittee. Persons seeking insurance or
employment cannot do better than to
write to the branch office of the COM
pany at Philadelphia.

The Care If Land and Stock


The English correspondent of the
Country Gentleman makes the following
sensible suggestions to farmes who have
the care of grazing land, meadows,
calves and sheep:
keep grazing beasts on good full
heritage. There is no profit in stocking
too heavily. If the beasts really appear
too close, Gull the worst animals at once,
keeping them on as stores, thus allow
ing the others a better chance. The
droppings should be removed from the
pastures weekly throughout the summer;
and under the trees where the grass is
rough, instead of allowing it to go to
waste, NOW and spread it on the pasture
while it is yet clean and sweet, the stock
will relish it greatly when half made
into clay. Calves may now be turned
out over night, but it is worth while
still to give the later ones a daily feed
of cake or meal, or a few mangolds
would come in useful and be relished.
Those beautiful country scenes, sheep
washing, shearing and branding, which
inspired Thompson's pen, are now be-
ing attended to.
" Fear not, We gentle tribes, tits not the knife
OF horrid slaughter that is DER you waved;
No, tits the tender swain's Well-guided shears,
Who, having now, to pay his annual care,
Borrowed your fleece, to you cumbrous load,
VIII send you bounding to your hills again"
LAMBS ought to be dipped with
some approved composition and the
shepherds care is needed /; else the raw
ages of the flies will speedily show re-
suits which twelve months will not
wholly eradicate. Have an eye to the
watering places, that they be kept in ac-
cessible order. Any mud which is got
out had better be spread on the pasture
in its fresh state. Thistles want now
ing, docks digging, and the flower of
the Dubious buttercup may be cut off
where over abundant"

The grazing capacities of Texas are
prominent among other features of that
state. 1t is estimated that 1000 COWS,
bought for 1000, number 5000 head,
worth $50, 900, in ten years. Sheey hus-
bandry is more commended, as this
country imports $4,000, 900 lbs, of wool
annually. Texas can raise every variety
cheaply as Buenos Ayres. The pastur-
age is limitable, and the natural increase
100 per cent annually. Both cattle and
sheep can be GREED the year through,
in most of Texas, on bunch and gramma,
and other nutritious grasses; and, when
hay is wanted, the grasses cure them
selves. The Platte Valley alone has
81, OOO,O 900 acres of rich lands, and the
country 1000, 900, 900, that will sustain
as many sheep, and give fine wool and
mutton at the lowest cost, in an annual
temperature of fifty degrees Fahrenheit.
The water is good and abundant, and
the grazing belt, which stretches west
of the Rio Grande, will be reached at
Fort Worth, by the Texas and Pacific
railroad in 1874.

sign of resignation or mental decay.
He bore himself as manly as any one
could who was the mark of every eye.
And yet in the tout ensemble there was
something soft, very soft. Young
people who marry ought to spend the
