A BITTER CONTROVERSY tenn
perance organs are waging bitter war on
the manufacturers of alcoholic bitters,
and their attacks are resented with equal
bitterness by the latter, who seem de-
termined to prosecute the quarrel to the
bitter end. In the meantime novelty in
tonic medicines is making immense pro-
gress in the confidence of all classes and
conditions of society throughout the
United States and British America. We
refer to DR.. WALKERS CALIFORNIA
VINEGAR BITTERs, and we call it a novel
ty in tonics because it contains no alco-
hOl-an article heretofore considered es-
sential in medicinal invigorants. The
abstemious portion of the community ap-
prove the omission, and as the new
remedy is curing dyspepsia, biliousness,
nervous affections, and, in fact, MAORI
ty or the diseases, external and internal,
which prevail, it is difficult to see how
the more self-indulgent portion Of our
fellow citizens can conscientiously object
to it. One thing is certain: if ever there
was what the French call "grand sue
cess" the sudden and continually in
creasing popularity of the VINEGAR BIT.
TIERS, deserves that name. The advocates
of temperance point to the salutary
effects produced by this inalcoholic re-
stOrative as proof that spirituous stimu-
lants are not needed for medicinal pur-
pOses-a position which has been recent
ly taken by many eminent medical prac-
titiOners.

How to Restore Trees Killed by Frost.

THE following is taken from the report
of recent meeting of the Michigan fruit
growers at Battle Greek:
In view of the fact that thousands of
the fruit trees, especially the peach, have
been Injured by the severe cold of the
present winter, and that many have been
killed outright, it will be seen that any
thing that might indicate practicable
relief from the loss that will fall upon this
branch of industry will be hailed with
satisfaction. On this subject, which was
next taken up by the society, the views OF
Mr.. Hartford, of Indiana, were called out.
He said that in the cold winter of 1855 he
had an orchard of thrifty young trees alb
solutely killed to the snow line, and Of
course total loss as far as appearances
indicated or experience could suggest.
Knowing, however, that the trees had
been vigorous and that their roots must
possess considerable power of reproduc-
ton, he proceeded to cut off the entire
top of every tree that had been killed, and
left nothing out unsightly stumps through
out the orchard. The spring came
on, advanced somewhat; he watched
his stumps with anxiety; found that mum.
erous buds started out from these stubs,
put forth their shoots and made re-
markable growth and in two years he
had as good and healthy an orchard as
that which had been cut off by the frost.
Since that timehe had frequently occasion
to treat other trees in similar manner,
sometimes cutting off injured branches
only, and had almost uniformly had good
results. But it is necessary to cut off the
injured branches of frozen tops as early
as possible after the snow is gone, and al
ways before the sap has begun to ascend
the tree.
Other gentlemen expressed their opin-
ions upon this very important point. To
the argument that this process would cut
off the present seasons product was an
swered that in orchards whose trees are
badly injured the crop of this year is out
of the question; often the orchard
may be saved by timely application of
the surgical knife, and in two or three
years be in as good condition as before
frozen. A true economy cannot fail to
indicate the course to be pursued.

The Laws of Health.

It is useless for State Legislatures pass laws for
the preservation of the public health if the great
law of self-preservaton, which depends for its
forcement upon the will of the individual is suffered
to remain dead letter. There is scarcely adult
member of the community, of either sex, In this
country who has not seen the testimony in favor of
Hostetters Stomach Bitters furnished over their own
signatures by persons of acknowledged eminence in
science, literature art commerce, and every depart
ment Of business and professional life. These wit.
nesses have declared In the most explicit terms that
the preparation is safeguard against epidemics,

aud impure water. and that 1t inparts degree of
vigor and actviy to the vtsl1orces whichis not oom
nunieated by any other of the tonics and stoachcs
in use. Under these circumstances the sef-preserva
tive law Of nature should teach every rational person

sequence OF exposure to unwholesome influences, ts

Defective Flues.

THE report of the Fire Marshal of the
city of Brooklyn for 1872 shows total of
34S fires, involving loss of twenty-five
lives and nearly two millions of property.
Of this total of fires, seventy-eight, or
nearly one-fourth, are charged against
defective fues and imperfect appliances
for heating. So many fires, then, were
the result of deliberate and inexcusable
neglect, too, not chargeable to the suffer
ers in many cases, but to architects and
builders When q person superintends
the construction of his own dwelling, and
suffers the mechanic reconstruct improp-
er f1ues, or build flues with beams exposed
on the inner surface, perhaps he does not
deserve much sympathy when he avakes
some night and finds his house in danes.
But not every man superintends the con-
struction of his own dwelling. The vast
majority of men do not, but purchase
houses ready made, and too often built to
sell. 1t is not possible for purchaser to
dissect the dwelling he is about to buy,
and the fatal defects here alluded to are
never apparent to superficial examina-
ton. The opportunity to inf1ict fatal in
jury upon the innocent purchaser is thus
almost without limit, and it is reasonable
to assume that less than 1.-THE of the
cases where the fire .fend is invited by the
builder are reported by the officials ap-
pointed to examine. It is not probable
that the seventy eight cases reported, as
resulting from defects in f1ues and heating
appliances, cover the number properly
asssignable to that cause. In many cases
the flames gain such Roadway before dis
covery that the starting point cannot be
distinguished.
That fues can be constructed. saws the
NORTH american, SO as to render conhagra-
ton impossible from that quarter is alto.
gether certain That the cost of SO con-
structing them is not oppressive is also
easily demonstrate. There is no valid
excuse for building fues of worthless
brick and mortar without cohesion. Nor
is there any excuse for neglecting to plas-
ter fues inside and out from cellar to
roof. The cost is not burdensome, and
the extra time consumed in doing it is no
bar. There can be no justification for
constructing f1ues intersected by wooden
beams and pierced by hemlock joists, and |
the only explanation of such recklessness |
lies in the insanity of the builder, or in |
an acknowledged design to rob insurance |
companies and ruin purchasers of such !

traps for the unwary. When fire is re-
ported and the cause assigned to detec-
tive t1ue, every person OF rejecting mlno
knows that the fire was In no sense accl-
dental. It was provided for by the build
er lust a certainly as the doors of the
dwelling were provided for ingress and
egress or the roof to keep out the rain
and snow. OF course, it cannot be as
sumed that the builder deiberated upon
the certainty of confagration, but his
reckless neglect of ordinary precaution
amounts to pretty much the same
thing. When man digs trench in a
thoroughfare and omits to enclose it, he
may not premeditate the disabling OF the
innocent pedestrian who stumbles into the
ditch, but the law holds him responsible
for the palpable neglect. A fire from a
defective f1ue must be regarded in the
same light. It is the result of inexcusable
carelessness, and the responsibility OF
loss ought to be forced home to the
builder.
The rage for cheap homes has some
thing to do with this wholesale reckless
ness. Yet there is ne man of even av-
erage common sense who would not will
ingly pay two hundred dollars, or even
thousand, extra, for his house, and feel
assured that the fues were positively fire.
proof. But not every lessee or purchaser
comprehends the danger which may i'm
pend over his household for five years,
and only be precipitated later. AS before
| remarked, defects of construction do not
meet the eye of the purchaser or lessee.
But where such defects exist, one person
is fully aware of their existence. That
person is the builder. He knows-no
one better-that a f1ue constructed of
poor brick and poorer mortar is never
safe. He knows that when f1ue is only
one brick in thickness, and not well &C.
mented inside, it is dangerous. And he
knows that the exposure of beams and
joists to the hot air is SO dangerous that
it is only a question of time when the
catastrophe shall result. Knowing all
these facts, is 1t not singular that the law
does not make him responsible for the
crime OF inviting confagration?
There is in this country popular su-
perstition that man has an unquestion-
ed right to do as he wills with his money,
if he refrains from trespass upon the
rights of others. The liberty of the indi-
vidual is jealousy fenced about. We are
daily told that the Government must not
interfere with individual enterprise. But
the builders of dwellings with defective
flues trespass against one of the most
sacred rights of man-to be secure in
person and property. A cheaply con-
! structed house, or church, or other public
building is decidedly the dearest invest
ment ever made. As rule a man can
have only his moneys worth. If he builds
cheaply he will have cheap affair, of
course; and if he constructs house of
poor materials and it falls, or if he builds
| defective fues and they communicate fire
to the building, he deserves no pity.

Birds Acquiring New and Brutal Hab'
it's

PROF. SAMUEL LOCKWOOD gives an IN
teresting account of that beautiful bird
known as the golden robin, or Baltimore
oriole, in connection with the common
humble bees. Last June large numbers
of these bees were found under the horse
hestnut trees, then i'll full bloom, in the
campus of Rutgers College, every one of
them decapitated, and the heads lying
around with the bodies; and it further
appears that every one of the headless
bees was stingless male. The Professor
worked out the case with much patient
perseverance, and found to his surprise
that this wholesale slaughter was the
work of four orioles. Another fact which
astonished him was, that the bodies of
these insects were empty, the viscera
having been drawn out at the ring-like
opening where the head had been neatly
shipped by the birds. The process was
to catch the bees while lowering at the
ball-like opening of the flowers. After
severing the head, they extracted the Wis
cera for the sake Of the honey-sac. Several
very interesting considerations are
brought out in the course of the article
such as the acquired taste; the birds had
found out that honey was nice. Was it
not singular, too, that they had learned
that it could be got in such manner?
And there was also the curious fact that
the bird confined its marauding to the
white-headed bees, the stingless males
thus carrying on his terrible work with
impunity, and almost wantonness, as it
contented itself with simply the
honey-bearing sac. Prof. Lockwood
also notes curious change
of habit in the king bird Speaking of
the wonderfully plucky manner of this
courageous little bird IN attacking crows
and other large birds, as securing the
general admiration, he says that for him
self that admiration has gone down to
zero, as he has noticed that the bird has
not any true knightly qualities, but can
do vesy 4A>ssA thinga- The Pro-
fessor then instances case in which a
pair of robins had built nest in tree
so near by that the process could be
watched from hehouse. A pair of king
birds kept all the time near, and watched
progress with genuine royal Incidence,
and, when all was finished, with kingly
impudence took possession. Therightful
owners made but a feeble effort to resist
this invasion. The king-birds retained
possession until their young were raised.
More than year ago, Prof. Lockwood
likewise called attention to the fact that
the great butcher bird, or northern shrike,
contrary to all precedent, had begun to
visit in winter the cities where the Eu-
ropean sparrows have become natural
lied. The bird in summer collects grass
hoppers, small lizards, etc., and impales
them on the spines of the locust or other
trees, eating them at its leisure. He no.
tees the case in which shrike in it's
winter visit gibbeted a sparrow in the
city by putting its neck in the crotch of
small branch of alarch, and then, having
knocked in the top of its head, the bird
extracted its victims brains.
