Flowers In Winter.

The taste for flowers in winter is rapid.
ly increasing with the advent of hot-aiT
furnaces and base-burners, which keep
the fire burning for months. 1t is com
mon belief that flowers cannot be made

perience has proved that this is an error,
at least when the furnace air-chsmber IS
supplied with water for evaporating, and
no others are fit to use. AS private con-
servatories are generally conducted, they
are great expense and veXatiOn to the
heads of families. They are generally
placed at some little distance from the
house, all their sides exposed to the
weather, and consequently the consump-
tion of coal is great, and then one or more
functionaries are considered necessary
for taking care of them. Managed in
this way, they can never become a COM
mon luxury. A well-built room, twelve
feet by twelve, on the south side of the
dwelling-house, can be warmed in win

True Comfort.

There are very few men who have q
proper idea Of true comfort. Itistoo often
confounded with the mere delights Of the
flesh. Some mistakenly consider easi
ness to be comfort Nothing could be
further from the fact 1t is impossible to
be truly comfortable without occupation,
both for mind and body. We recollect
hearing of man whose highest idea of
comfort was to go to sleep and dream of
swallowing gin-cocktails that were a
month long This, however, is mere
sensuality. There Is a man in Terre Haute
who seems to have the proper idea Of
comfort. He lies on the grass In the rear
of his house, under the shade of a fine
elm tree, and entertains his wife by read
ing the newspaper aloud to her while she
saws logs and chops them up into fire
wood to cook the dinner. There is no
time wasted here. The mind is exercised
and information is gained, while the wife
Is at the'same time kept thoroughly posted
on current events That man knows
how to enjoy himself, and Is not selfish
enough to keep all his enjoyment to him
self either. -Erchdnoe.

DR.. A. TRASK'S
Magnetic OINTMENT
FOR THE CURE OF
1NFLAMMAToRY DISEASES.

DIR. Trask was engaged for twenty years in
a course of experiments upon31he medical prop
,rties and power OF vegetables, separate and
combined. At the age OF seventy years he sue
ceeded in presenting to the world, as the result
of his experiments, a combination Of Vegetable
extracts, the power of which in removing dis
eases is unequaled in the annals of Medicine.
His discovery consists in a combina-
tion of these powerful Vegetable Extracts with
Electricity or Magnetism in the form Of an Oint-
ment
Certain. 1t is, that the remarkable and
unprecedented success which has attended its
application in the cure of diseases, stamps 1t at
calls for a trial and close investigation OF its
properties.
Nc never fails, while there remains suf-
fcient life to restore natural and healthy &C:
ton to the capillary vessels OF the body, and
equalize the circulation Of the blood. By this
means a controlling power is gained over the
most malignant forms of disease, which cannot
be obtained from any other remedy.
Such Is the power of This cOmbfna.
tfon, that II penstrates TO every portion o.
the human frame; every bone and muscle, VEIN,
nerve and ligament is searched out and mado
sensible Of it's purifying and healing influence.
Hence it copes as readily with internal as ex-
ternal disease.
Numerous instances are on record
where this remedy has restored health to pa
tients SO near the grave that the most powerful
internal remedies failed to produce any effect.
Such has frequently been the case in lniamma-
tion OF the Bowels.
No patient ever need die with this
disease where the Magnetic Ointment can be OBJ
tanned,
For Indammatory Rheumatism
this Ointment is the most complete remedy ever
prepared. For Diphtheria or Puuid Sore Throat
It is unrivaed.
In nInety-nlne cases out of a
hundred, it Wilt afford entire relief TO the worst
cases of Nervous Headache in thirty minutes.
For Nervous Diseases this medicine is
of immense value.

IT has been decided in England that a
bankrupt may not refuse to answer ques-
tions which are put to him touching his
estates and effects, even when such ques-
tions tend to criminate him. Such a rule
might possibly be initiated 10 good ad-
vantage everywhere, though it has been
the custom to treat banlIupts in this
country with the same immunity in this
regard as if they were arraigned as Grim
inals. But the English courts seem TO
have gone too far in the other direction,
as it has been recently held that such an
examination may be introduced as evi-
dence in any criminal suit that may fol.
low; and man has been actually con-
own testimony given previously in bank
rupt proceedings.

too, must wear dove-colored pantaloons

riages, at the rate of three hours use for
three days wages. They must take a
turn now and then at billiards, stand

CRIMINAL SECRECY.-The martinets of
the medical profession insist that it is be-
meath the dignity of regular physician
TO advertise. If a member of the faculty
should discover an absolute remedy for
any disease it would be breach of pro-
fessional decorum to offer the specific for
sale through the Journals of the day.
Scorning such preiudices one of our lead
ing practitioners is now making known
to the public through the columns of over
three thousand newspapers, one of the
most comprehensive remedies for disease
that has ever assuaged the sufierings of
humanity. DIR. WALKERS CALFoRNIA
VINEGAR BITTERs, although comparative.
ly new medicine. has already attracted
the attention of millions in both hemi-
spheres. 1t has been advertised through
all the channels accessible to advertising
enterprise, and the result has been the
preservation of thousands of lives, and
the prevention of an untold amount of
physical torture. DIR. Walker thinks that
the "greatest good of the greatest num-
Der" is the true object of medical science,
and hence he steps boldly out of the con-
tracted circle of professional exclusive
ness, and places his Great Restorative
