An Easy Way to Health.

The appetite is sereralIy keener in winter than
in summer but the same low temperature which
begets an increased desire for food is apt to de-
the ability Of the stomach to digest 1t. The
most aggravated cases of acute dyspepsia occur at
season. and the best, in fact, the only way, to
control and them, is stimulate and tone ihe
stomach and invigerate and regulate the secretive
and diccharging organs. To do this promptly.
safely and thoroughly (witiiout involving any
change in the ordinary habits of the invalid-)
course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters Will be ne
ces arv. In order to accomplish radical cure of
indigestion il enough influence the organs
of digestion. The liver, the intestnes, the circu
lation, every organ and every secretion concerned
in the work of assimilatiDs the food and In carry
ing off the waste matter of the system, must be
brought into natural condition. Upon all these
portions of the living machinery, the great vege-
table medicine, which stands at the head of all
modern oratiyes, acts powerfully and benei-
cially. 7 he feeble should take at least one dose
daily n. all seasons OF the year; and it may be
taken with great beneft twice day by all who
prcdispo scd to dyspepsia, biliousness nerv-
Gus attacks. Ladies will find ii very present
help in the latter class OF complaints, and indeed
in all the ailments incident to the sex.

USEFUL SUGGESTIONS.

ONE teaspoonful of melasses and one
teaspoOntul of goose Oil given to a child
in the early stage of Group, Will relieve 1t
at once.
RELIEF FOR BURNs.-A quick cure is to
apply a layer of common salt and saturate
hour or so by a simple bandage. The
smarting sensation disappears rapidly,
and the burn gets well.
WASH FOR FACE.-Take a small piece
of gum bcnZoin. boil in spirits of wine till
it is rich tincture. Use fifteen drops in
glass of water, three or four times
day. Let it remain on to dry. 1t is very
eflicacious in removing spots, eruptions,
etc.
To DESTROY THE RosE-SLUG.-The
Practical Farmer. says: "We absolutely
know. and have proved, that carbOlic
acid sOapsuds, injected over the bush
through the nose of a common syringe.
is an cffectual cure for the rOsc-slug, and
also death to caterpillars."
To WASH HAIR BRUsHEs.-Never use
soap. Take piece of soda, dissolve it in
warm water, stand the brush in it, MAX
ing sure that the water only covers the
bristles. 1t will almost instantly become
white and clean. Place 1t i'm the air to
dry, with the bristles downward, AMI it
will be rs firm as new brush.
In purchasing ftlrs the best test of a
good article is found in the length and
density of the down next the skin. This
can be readily determined by blowing II
| brisk current Of air from the mouth
against the set of the filr.'' If the ii
Der opens readily, reject the article; but
| if the down is SO dense that the breath
cannot penetrate it, or at most shows but
| Il small portion of skin, the article may be
accepted.
To PREVENT THE DECAY OF SHINGLES.
Take potash kettle or large tub, and
put into it one barrel of I've of wool ash
| five pounds of alum, and as much
salt as will dissolve in the mixture.
Make the liquor quite warm, and put rs
many shingles in it as can be conveniently
wet at once. Stir this up with fork, and
when well soaked take them out and put
in more, renewing the liquor as necessary.
Then lay the shingles in the usual man
ner.
THr following Is said to be the very best
of the numerous recipes for whitewash-
ing: White chalk is the best substitute
for lime as a wash. A very fine and bril-
liant whitewash preparation of chalk is
called the ''Paris White.' This we buy
at the paint etcre for three cents pound,
retail. For each sixteen pounds OF Paris
White we procure half a pound of the
white transparent glue, costing twenty
five cents fffty cents a pounlf. The six
teen pounds OF Paris w hlte Is about as much
as person will use in day. tits prepared
as follows: The glue is covered with
cold water at night; and in the morning is
carefully heated, without scorching, until
dissolved. The Paris White is stirred in
with hot water to give it the proper
milky consistency for applying to walls.
and the dissolved glue is then added and
thoroughly mixed. 1t is then applied
with brush like the common lime white
wash. Except on very dark and smoky
walls, single coat Is sufficient. 1t is
nearly equal in brilliancy to ''zinc white"
a far more expensive article.

The Girard House, st. Louis.

This is certainly one of the most important
institutions of the great city of st: Louis
The prOprietors, Messrs. Baldwin n Battles,
formerly of the Everett House. Chicago,
are amon, the most experienced HOtcEkccp-
ers in the tinted states, the running of
the Girard House amply tcstlfies. In size
the Girard House Is one of the largest ON
modatin.- a thousand guests at uncc, as it
did at the time of the st. Louis Fair. ON
the table can always be found the largest
variety of catables the market can afford.
and though it is not one whit inferior, in any
particular, TO hotels that charge from three
to four dollars day, the moderate sum of
two dollars day is the charge. The pro-
prietors say that account of their i'm
mense custom, they can make those rates
and still make money. The Girard House
has the largest run of custom of any hotel in
st. Louis.-Io'ca State Register.

German HOt.Deds.

We feel that, in giving some account of
translucent cloth hOt-beds, to be employed
instead of the expensive glass frames i'll
general use, we are doing all our garden
ing readers a service: We can votch for
the value of the ''German Hot-Betls,"
having tried them very successfully many
years ago. For forcing early melons, to-
matOes, &C., this prepared cloth is espe-
cially adapted, as it can be tackled to
boxes of any size required and cut to fit
them. Little, rough, square boxes of the
proper size and height, covered with the
prepared cloth, can be placed over the
hills in which tomato. melon or other
seeds are planted, and the plants allowed
to stand. without transplanting, until all
danger of frost Is over, when the boxes
may be taken off and packed away care
fully for another season.
Take white cotton cloth, of close tex
tlIrc, stretch it, and nail it on frames of
lime water, four ounces of linsecd Oil, one
ounce white of eggs separately, two
ounces of yOlk Of eggs; mix the lime and
oil with a very gentle heat, beat the eggs
separately, and mix with the former.
Spread this mixture, with a paint brush,
over the cloth, allowing each coat to dry
before applying another, until they be-
some of the advantages these shades pos
sess over glass:
1. The cost being hardly one-fourth.
2. Repairs are easily and cheaply made,
). They are light they do not require
watering; no matter huw Intense the heat
of tie Sin, the plants are never struck
down, or faded, or checked in growth =;
neither do they grow up long, sickly, and
weakly, as they do under glass, and still
there Is abundance OF light.
The heat entirely arising from below, is
equablc and temperate, which is a great
object. The vapor arising from the man.
ure and earth is condensed by the cool air
passing over the surface of the shade, and
hangs in drops upon the inside, and there
fore the plants do not require so frequent
watering. If the frames or stretchers are
made large, they should be intersected
with cross-bars about a foot square. to
support the cloth. These articles are just
the thing for bringing forward flower seeds
in season for transplanting.-Home Journal.

The New York Senate and Assembly Joint State
Committee on Transportation, including Senators
Wood and Lewis and Assemblymen Hus-
ted Prince. Bachelor, Alberger and Bal
ler, left Albany at seven this morning
and proceeded 10 Whitehall by the Saratoga and
Rensselaer, Railroad. At Saratoga they were met
By +. A. Tobey, OF the Port Henry Iron Company,
who offered the committee the use OF the steam
yacht Florence Witherbee to proceed along
Lake Champlain ana visit the Port Henry iron mines.
In addition 10 Mr.. Tobey were ]. q. Witherbee,
George =. sherman, W. 7. Foote, of the Bay state
Iron Company; A. b. Waldo, William G. Gookin.
Judge Joseph Potter, OF Whitehall william

The party arrived ut Whitehall about noon
and the steam yacht gaily decorated with bunting,
was boarded and proceeded up the lake to Port
Henry. During the voyage the two respective
routes by Lake Champain, with the welland Canal,
Caughnawaga Canal IN connection with the st.

Passing along the proposed route, starting from

from Saratoga and continued in It's varied
details along the lake route. The natural
advantages OF the Lake Champlan route
were conceded by all; but the dllcul.y of divert
ing the trade from Montreal, when started along
the st. Lawrence River, and bringing 1t round
to New York, was held to be matter
OF some doubt, and the more prac-
tcal consideration of which was deferred
until the visit TO Montreal tomorrow. The sup
porters OF The Erie route lay great stress this,
and the facilities for handling grain at Buffalo,
Champain route should be decided on Its own
merits, and If recommended should not prevent
the recommendation OF the enlargement OF the
Erie Canal or the use OF steam. At Fort Henry the
party landed and were conveyed by train six
miles to the Fort Henry iron mines. Several
of the party, including Senators Conk-
ling and Sherman, descended the mines,

SUCCESSFUL RELIGIOUS ENTERPRISE.

Encouraging Prospects for the New
Catholic Church at New Rochelle.
The ladies' fair at New Rochelle Westchester
county, for the purpose of aiding the new Catholic
church at that place, after proving almost sue
cessful as the most sanguine OF its devout origi-
nators could have wished, was formally brought to
q close a day or two since. The results were most
satisfactory, amounting to about $4,000, which,
when the limited extent OF the village is taken
into consideration, betokens unstinted lberaity
on the part OF the friends and well wishers
OF the new editlce. One OF the main
features Of the fair the rivalry
displayed to secure an elaborate silver trumpet,
offered as premium to the Fire Company OF New
Rochelle receiving the greatest number OF votes.
This was awarded to Enterprise Hook and Ladder
Company, the presentation being made by Rev.
Thomas Mclaughlin, pastor OF the Catholic church
in the village named, who IN a few happily chosen
remarks performed the pleasing duty in behalf Of
the ladies'. The reverend gentleman, who alluded
IN eloquent terms to the bright future In store for
New Rochelle, was enthusiastically applauded
during the course OF his brief speech.

to the presence OF three government survey
