The philosophical theory that the human system
when weakened by disease, oppressive heat, ex-
cessive labor or any other cause should be toned
and invigorated instead Of being subjected to the
action Of depicting drugs, is gaining ground every
day. The introduction Of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters twenty years ago gave powerful influence
to this common sense idea. As the extraordinary
efficacy Of the Great Vegetable Restorative be-
came known, multitudes Of debilitated invalids
turned with lOathing from the nauseous and
suength-destroying potions with which twas then
the fashion to drench the SICK to this renovating
appetizing, vitalizing preparation derived from the
finest roots, herbs and barks placed by botanical
research at the disposal of medical science. Rev.
outions never 60 backward. From that time TO
the present the importance of assisting and rein
forcing nature in her struggles with disease has
been more and more widely and keenly appreci-
ated by the sick and the suffering. In tens Of
thousands Of households Hostetters Bitters are
looked upon AZ the one thing needful in OF
Dyspepsia, General Debility Constipation, Nerv-
ous Weakness Chills and Fever, Bilious Affections
and all conditions Of the body and mind that be-
token lack Of vital energy. When the quick

Death in the Well.

A farmer and several OF his children were
sick with typhoid fever. Their physician
was unable to account for the malady until
his attention was called to the water from
the we'll adjoining the house of death. 1t
had peculiarly pleasing, sweetish flavor,
but the idea that there was anything wrong
there was held to be absurd by the surviv-
ing members of the family. However, the
suspicious of the physician were aroused,
and the fact that the privy of the farmhouse
was within 10 feet of the wall, and had ex-
lsted there for many years seemed to point
to possible deflement. On testing the
water it was found to be highly charged
with the products of decomposing animal
matter of poisonous character, and the suf-
ticient cause of the sickness was apparent.
The we'll was abandoned, and the farmer
recovered, but his children were sacrificed
Typhoid and similar diseases are the farm
ers bane. They are peculiarly the diseases
OF the rural districts, and cess pools and
barnyards exist too often in close proximity
to wells from which water for domestic use
is drawn. No more active ferment or blood
poison can be taken into the system than
putrid animal refuse, and no more deadly
maadies exist than those thus originated.
Fevers, cholera, dysentery, diarrhea, and
many SiuPOiouo vi al painful are Vi
this class, and children are generally the
first victims. Surely no stronger argument
can be urged for reformation in our pres
ent barbarous method of getting rid of
household waste. Getting rid SO far
from this we but store it up to plague us
with it in the worst possible way. The an
cient method, inculcated by Moses, for the
publication of the camps of the Israelites,
after thousands of years, is striving for a
place in our present civilized appliances,
and there are none more conveniently situ-
ated than farmers or country residents to
avail themselves of it. In the shape of the
modern earth-coset it is practicable and
easy. and provides a cure for the evil we
here deprecate. New York Tribune.

Manure for Orchards.

Wood ashes are doubtless excellent for
orchards, but instead of being put round
the trees they should be spread over the
whole land, But where are the ashes to
come from in this region? We have little
or no wood, and of course little or no ashes
In our limited experience we have learned
one thing in regard to orchards as we'll as
fruit trees of every kind that we have cutI-
waited, and we believe the principle can be
applied pretty much to everything that
grows upon the earth, which is, that the
application of manure benefits them all.
Ground occupied with fruit trees should
be manured as are other portions of the
land used for the raising of wheat and corn.
1t is the negligence with which orchards
are treated in many sections, that makes
them unprofitable and worn out premature
ly. And as to the kind of manure with
which orchards ought to be treated, while
any kind, almost without exception, will
prove of advantage, there is none in the
world to be compared to stable or barn yard
manure. A liberal application of this only
everyithird year, with careful pruning and
scraping of the trees, and ferreting out the
borers, will make prodigious change in an
orchard. Autumn, even in December, if
the ground is not frozen, is perhaps the best
time to apply it. Germantown Telegraph.

Hints Toward Beauty.

There is nothing more unfavorabe to fe-
male beauty than late hours. Women who,
either from necessity or choice, spend most
of the day in bed, and the night at work or
dissipation, have always pale, faded COM
plexion and dark-rimmed, wearied eyes.
Too much sleep is almost as hurtful as too
little, and is sure to bloat the person with
pallid and 'unwholesome fat The diet,
also, has marked influence upon personal
beauty Generous living is favorable to
good looks, as it tends to I'LL ont and give
color and sickness t. the skin. gross
and excessive indulgence, however, in eat
ing and drinking, is fatal to the female
charms, especially where there is great ten
dency to "making flesh" Regularity of
time in the daily repast and scientific cook
ing, are the best means of securing not
only good health but good looks. The ap-
petite should never be wasted during the
intervals between meals on pastry, confec-
tiSnery, or any other ticker of the appetite,
which gratifes the taste, but does not sup
port the system. Exercise is, of course,
essential to female beauty. 1t animates the
whole physical life, quickens the circu-
latfon of the blood, heigbtens the color,
develops the growth and perfects the form
of each limb and the entire body. 1t also
gives elasticity and grace to every move
ment.
