A scientific paper remarks that in ev-
cry home there should be at least one
open CRATE, or some other arrangement
for burning wood or soft or hard coal.
A fire which can be seen as well as felt
a cheerful, bright, blazing fire, with
shovel and tongs-and fender too, if
you please-which will attract the fam
lily by its social influences, is a grand
thing in a home. Those black, grim,
tartarean fues, filled with the stale
odors of cellar and hot air-chamber and
seething water-tank, and emitting clouds
of pulverized ashes to cover your furni-
ture and stifle your lungs, are among
the greatest banes of family enjoyment
and comfort. 1t is all we'll enough to
have ones dwelling warmed from top to
bottom, and to have no Goals to carry
beyond the furnace, but this heating
system has done immense mischief to
the family powers, scattering the mem
bers of it all over the house, and fur
nishing not one attractive spot in which
the inmates will gather, as by instinct
they do, to enjoy the CHEEKY comfort of
the freside. There is no freside in
most of our modern houses. There are
only holes in the floor or in the walls
And we are disposed to think that the
good ventilation of the open fire adds
not little to the unconscious blessings
of its hospitable and domestic influence.
The sight of the little folks, as they sit
musing and amused while the wood-fre
burns, and watching the fantastic flames
and glowing Goals, is worth many times
the cost of that cord Of hickory or oak
at city prices; and a wise household
would rather part with the furnace
which that bright blaze supplements
and atones for than with the low-down
CRATE which makes the family circle q
real thing. Try it, ye who can, and see
if the moral, aesthetic, and domestic
power of this style of home comfort is
overestimated.

An Easy Way to. Health.

The appetite is generally keener in winter than
in summer, but the same low temperature which
begets an increased desire for food is apt to de-
crease the debility of the stomach to digest it.
The most aggravated cases Of acute dyspepsia oc-
cur at this season and the best in fact, the only
way to control and cure them, is to stimulate and
tone the stomach and invigorate and regulate the
secretlve and dssharging organs To do this
promptly, safely aud thoroughly without involv-
ing any change in the ordinary habits Of the inva-
lid course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will
be necessary In order to accomplish a radical
cure OF indigestion, it is not enough to influence
the organs Of digestion The liver, the intestines
the circulation, every organ and every secretion
concerned in the work OF Stimulating the food az
in carrying off the waste matter of the system
must be brought into a natural condition, Upon
all these portions Of tho living machinery, the
great vegetable medicine, which stands at tn
head Of all modern restoratives, acts powerfully
and bene1cially. The feeble Should take at least
ono dose daily at all seasons Of the year; and il
may be taken with great benef1t twice day by all
who are predisposed to dyspepsia, biliousness OF
nervous attacks. Ladies will hnd it very present
help IN the latter class of complaints, and indeed
in all the ailments incident to the sex.

How to Dress.

A fashion journal says to a lady of
tall figure, dignifed and tranquil mein,
inclining to joyousness, wishing to ar
ray herself so as to heighten the effect
her character would give, should Sc
lect stuffs of quiet, light tints-grays
of one shade-and have them made up
in the simplest form possible, coming
high in the neck and flowing to the
ground-if in the parlor, trailing. She
should have no founces to disturb the
simplicity of the lines (unless short
wasted or having narrow hips, when
founces would hide the defect Of the
former by dividing the length of the
skirt; and drapery crossed over the hips
would give them width). She should
display little orno jewelry, or any other
ornament except pale flower on her
bosom or q ribbon at the throat. If she
uses ornament to any extent it should
be around her head, which, being the
noblest portion of the physique, de-
serves the fullest adornment. Her OPP
posite, gay, sparkling little beauty,
would, of course, go to the opposite
side of the scale, except that she would
avoid the use of high colors-the great
masses of the stuff being of nearly neu-
trail tints, the trimmings of brilliant
contrasting colors will tell much more
forcible than if there were large masses
Of the same colors which would make
her look gaudy rather than brilliant.
She would wear founces and brilliants.
The color of dress should in all cases
be determined by the complexion, the
rule being that if any color is in excess
in the face it must be destroyed by the
same color occurring more int ense in the
dress. Thus if the face is to rosy the
dress should be of a pale red, but in the
trimmings an intensely rad ribbon
should "kill," as the artists say, the red
in the face. The same object may be at
tanned with the dress of another color;
but at all events the dress should not be
of brilliant red, as then the only SEN,
sations received would be an overpow.
ering warmth of color, tout ensemble
of bushes.
The styles Of puttingup the hair are
infinite and expressive, and if woman
wears ornaments they are more effective
there than anywhere else. A gem at the
parting of the hair has tenfold the eff
feet that it has at the throat or on the
wrists, and for the simple reason that i
is placed where nature indicates that i
should be-where it may unite with thu
eye in calling the attention to the sea
of intelligence.

EXTRAORDINARY CURES. We have
read many accounts of extraordinary
cures by DIR. WALKERS CALIFORNIA
VINEGAR BTTERs, which have seemed
incredible. We are inclined to believe
them, as many of those who vouch for
them are persons whose veracity we can
guarantee. The newspapers TEEN with
testimonials Of this character, and there
is an air Of particularly and of truth
about them which cannot be resisted.
One manifest superiority the VINEGAR
BTTERs possesses ever other Alternative
and Tonic preparations. 1t contains
none of the burning fluids with which
most advertised Bitters are impregnat-
ed. It cannot create fever Instead of
clouding the brain, it clears it if cloud
ed. 1t is well known that Alcohol, even
of the purest description, weakens and
untones the stomach instead of bracing
it, and is, therefore, poison in cases OF
Indigestion. Fancy, then, what must
be the effect of the cheap Fire-igdtey
employed in making ordinary Bitters
and Tinctures, On the weakened and in
famed digestive organs. VINEGAR BIT
TIERS, on the other hand, soothes the
stomach while it increases the appetite
and relaxes the bowels. DIR. Walker Is
a regular physician, and his remedies
have Just as much authority as any
standard remedies of the faculty. W.
believe they are destined to become {
household medicine.

Feats in journalism.

The French journals, says a foreign
newspaper, have lately been expressing
their establishment at the energy dis
played by English and American jour
nalists. It appears that very sharp
competition is now going on among the
"Specials with respect to the impend-
ing trial of Marshal Bazaine. The cor
respondent of an American journal has
arranged for fifteen kilograms, which,
though they need be only ten or a dozen
words each, will, provided they are per-
fectly authentic, be paid for at the rate
of one thousand francs (e40) each.
Other American correspondents have ac-
tually been telegraphing word for word
a translation of some of the feuiHetoRS
in the Paris journals, although it is diff
ficult to imagine how there can be any
possible advantage in such an outlay as
this.
During the war in Paraguay a South
| American correspondent set up tele-
| graphic wire for his own use, so as to
communicate the news at the earliest
possible date. Finding, however, that
the Paraguayan government were beat
! 1HS hlhl OlllOuSu JuGlI own tG1tSId pm u6
had the aUdacity to cut their wire. Sto-
ries are told by the same French writer
of the rivalry between some of the Eng
fish correspondents. DIR. Russell, for
instance, accompanied the German army
on its entry into Paris, wrote on his
saddle an account, and sent it off by a
special messenger, who galloped to the
first station on the newly re-opened line
between Paris and Calais, jumped up by
the side of the engine driver, who had q
special engine ready, and ratified off tc
Calais in time to catch the mail. He
little knew that he was accompanied on
that journey by the correspondent of G
rival journal, the Daily Nea0S, who
dressed as a stoker, had no sooner ar
rived at Calais, than, running on board
a steamer, he offered the captain any
amount if he would get up steam al
once. The captain complied, and the
pseudo stoker arrived in London just as
the messenger from the Times landed
at Dover. Again, during the insurrec
ton at Marseilles, the correspondent O.
the Times, finding the telegraph cut
hired steamer, which took his DIES
patches to Malta, and thence they were
telegraphed to London.

A Woman Who Dared.

A charming young lady of eighteen
Summers, named Carrie L., of Warren,
Pa, paid visit to this city short time
since, and on Saturday afternoon last
she went to the depot of the Warren &
Venango road, intending to return
home, but arrived just in time to see
the train disappearing round the curve.
Bent on reaching Warren that night,
she started out along the track with the
view of walking the entire distance. On
Miss Carrie sped at the rate of four
miles an hour until 7 o'clock in the eve
ming, when she arrived atNewton, which
is twelve miles from the city.
Upon reaching the middle of the tres
tie work at this point she saw the night
train approaching to go on or recede,
or step to one side was impossible, so
she jumped down into the chasm twenty
feet below. Fortunately the ground
was covered with a snow drift into
which she sank up to her armpits, thus
breaking her fall and saving her life.
Carrie did not scream or cry for help, or
any thing of that sort, but quietly dug
herself out, and after half an hours
Work regalned Jhe track ana resumed
her journey. Two or three miles furth-
Ell on still more serious obstacle pre-
sented itself-the track was under wa
ter as far as the eye could reach. Upon
looking round she discovered light in
the woods and concluded that it must
be house. This proved to be the case,
and the hospitable family, after hearing
her story, took her in and did every
thing in their power for her comfort.
The next morning she took the train
from Newton for Warren and arrived
there in time for dinner. - StusviUe

A Sultan's Life.

The Vienna PreSse publishes por.
trait of the present Sultan, which can
neither be considered fattering to him
nor re-assuring to the friends of the
Sublime Porte. He is represented as
dull, icentious, silent and dispeptic.
He passes his time regularly and
monotonously. In the morning he
visits his mother, with whom he dis
cusses the affairs of the nation for an
hour or two. Till the evening he sits at
a window of the palace looking vacantly
on the Bosphorus, twirling chaplet of
pearls in his hands and half stupefied
from the effects of his chi6Ouque. He
finishes up his day in the harem.
He has no decided taste for any occu-
patton, and whatever caprices he in
dulges in are merely transitory. His
favorite pastimes are cockfghting and
feeding pigeons and fowls, which swarm
in the rooms Of the palace.
A short time ago he conceived agreat
passion for parrots, and he bought up
every one that could be found between
the Black Sea and the Sea Of Marmora
but, after amusing himself with them
for few days, he got tired and gave
them up. The only occupation this
amiable and interesting prince adopts
which requires a slight amount of in
telligence and industry is piano play
ing.

Another pretty arrangement is the
Window Garden here represented.
This consists of broad shelf, as long
as the width of the window, with the
sides and ends of open panel work, and
supported by strong brackets. The
cost of these things can be learned
by con:ulting the Guide, which every
grower of plants should possess.
The ivy is one of the most tractable
and useful plants we possess for indoor
adornment. It's leaves are clear, bright
and glossy, it will bear heat, dust and
partial absence of light, and still grow
with vigor and give evidence of health,
and can be made to assume almost any
form with little trouble. I give several
modes of training.

A REAL GENTLEMAN.-The test of a
"real gentleman" is a curious one in
these modern times. Arestaurant wait
er was brought into one of our courts
for examination, and the following tes-
timony was given:
"What is your name ?"
Robert Flunky, Sir"
"Well, Mr.. Flunky, you say the de-
PENDANT is no gentleman. What makes
you think so ?"
"Cause, Sir, he always says Thank
you when I hand him mutton-chop,
or even q bit of bread. Now real gen
tleman never does this, but hollers out,
Here, John, give me a mutton-chop,
or I'll shy this pepper-box at your head.
You can't deceive me with a gentleman,
your worship. Cause why, I've asso-
ciated with too many of 'em at the race

Care of Matches.

Too much care in the use of match es
cannot be taken. If they are thought
lessly or heedlessly dropped upon the
floor they may be the cause of great
calamities. A few days ago, while
young lady of this city was dressing
for a party, she suddenly discovered
that her under-skirts were on fire, and
the flames rapidly creeping up her
silk evening dress. Her mother, who
was near her, was so terrified that she
could only scream for help. Fortunate
ly her father was at home, and rushing
into the room, succeeded in extinguish-
ing the flames, but not until his daugh-
ter and himself were severely burned.
1t should always be borne in mind that
when q persons clothes take fire, the
surest and safest way to extinguish it is
to lay the person on the floor, and crush
out the flames - with some wooden
article if possible. If ones garments
are on fire, the flames naturally shoot
upward and become Immediately dan
gerous to life. A horizontal position is
the safest that can be assumed.
