Rugs and Mats Of Coffee Bags.


A VERY pretty style of rugs may be
made of even such homely materials IS
coffee bags. Choose those of even text
ure and have them washed and ironed
smoothly, or, as some will prefer, buy the
same material by the yard, which will be
still better, as 1t will be clean and with
the original stiffening. The rug must bo
cut of the desired size, allowing for the
r.insS, ana then worked in cross stitch
with coarse Germantown wool, Just as
one would work on Java canvas. Some
rugs are very handsome when done with
Persian patterns and, if preferred, the
designs may be made very gorgeous by
introducing an applique center of scar
let, crimson, blue, or green cloth or tlan-
mel, button-hole stitched to hold il down
The edge is fringed out in the usual way,
being secured by the button.hole edge.
The more it is worked the handsomer it
will be, and even for q tablecover for a
common stand or center table the effect
is excellent and it will be found most
durable. One of our friends has made
lambrequins for her mantel and win
dows, and worked them in green and
maroon, which looked very well. An
other is doing piano cover with an
elaborate border and center.piece. AS
rugs for parlor doors or to spread before
your dressing-table upstairs they will be
very useful and desirable articles, and
can be made very substantial by lining
them with piece of carpet or other thick
material.-HdTper's BdEdr.

IndIsputable Evidence.

ST. ELMO, H., July !, 1874.
R.V PIERCE, NJ. D., Buffalo, n. Y. wish
TO add my testimony to the wonderful cura-
tive properties of your Alt. Ext, or Golden
Medical Discovery. | have taken great in
terest in this medicine since ] first used it.
| was badly afflicted with dyspepsia, liver de-
ranged and an almostperfect prostration of the
nervous system. So rapid and complete did
the Discovery effect perfect cure that 1t
seemed more like magic and perfect wonder
to myself, and since that time we have never
been without n bottle of the Discovery and
PurGative Pellets in the house. They are a
solid, sound family physician in the house,
and ready at all times to fly to the relief
Of sickness-withOut charge. We have
never had a doctor in the house since we first
began the use of your Pellets and Discovery.
| have recommended the use Of these medi.
cnes in several severe and complicated cases
arising from, as thought, an impure state Of
the blood, and In no one case have they failed
to more than accomplish all they are claimed
to do. / will only mention one as remarka-
BILE Though ] could give you dozens)
Henry Roster, furniture dealer, of this place,
who was one of the most pitiful objects ever
seen, his face swollen out of shape, scales and
eruptions without end, extending TO his
body, which was completely covered with
blOtches and scales. Nothing that he took
seemed to affect ii particle. finally in
duced him TO try few bottles OF the
Golden Medical Discovery, with daily use Of
the Pellets, assuring him 1t would surely cure
him. He commenced its use some six weeks
since, taking two Pellets each night for a
week, then one each night and the Discovery
as directed. The result is, to-day his skin is
perfectly smooth and the scaly eruptions are
gone. He has taken some seven or eight bot
Ties in all, and considers himself cured. This
case had batiied the skill Of our best physi-
clans. Messrs. Dunsford & Co., druggists,
of this place, are selling largely of your med.
icincs and the demand steadily increases, and
they give perfect satisfaction In every case.

Seas OF Grass.

Our Western prairies, stretching as far
as eye can reach, and covered with tall
grass moving with a wavelike motion in
the wind, have often been compared to
seas. But our prairies do not deserve
the name of seas of grass as well as do
the great llanos, or grass plains, of South
America.
The llanos of Venezuela occupy an
area which Humboldt estimated at 153,-
900 square miles-a space equal to that
occupied by the States of Name, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York
and Pennsylvania. These immense plains
are as Hat as the surface of the sea in a
calm, and the whole weary level is COW
cred with tall rank grass.
We are told that one might travel over
this dead plain for over / 100 miles, from
the delta of the Orinoco River to the foot
Uf the Andes of Paste, and not encounter
an eminence one foot in height. Yet
there really is one slight inequality.
This is called Il mesa, and is a gentle
knoll swelling very gradually to an ele-
vation of a few yards This slight eleva-
tion, rising so gradually that the eye does
not perceive II, is the watershed which
divides the water that falls during the
rainy season, sending part to tine south
east to feed the Orinoco and part to
the northwest to feed the streams flow
ing to the north.
During the rainy season, from April to
the end of October the great seas OF
grass become seas of shallow water
The tropical rains pour down in torrents
and the swollen rivers overflow their low
banks, sending their floods over hundreds
of square miles of the vast plain. Great
numbers of horses and cattle, which have
not been able to escape to the slight ele'
walton of the mesa, or watershed, are
drowned. When the waters subslde
leaving behind a rich, fertilizing sedi
ment, the great plains become beautiful

LET Us CoNsIDER.-Since the introduc-
tion of distilled spirits in the sixteenth
century they have been habitually pre-
scribed as remedies. We know that al
cohol, in all its forms, is pernictOus to
health. RROioing these things and that,
under the system of treatment which in
cludes their use, the mortality among the
sick is and ever has been enormous, is
it not worth while to try the effect of
a remedy which combines in their high
est excellence the qualities of Tonic,
an Alternative and Regulator; contains
no mineral bane or murderous alkaloid
or alcoholic poison; does its curative
office without pain and with uniform GER
taintyY DIR. WALKER's VINEGAR BITTERs
fulfills all these conditions, and is now
effecting the most extraordinary cures
in cases where every "specifc" of the
faculty, has ignominiously failed. Con
, slider, in view of these facts, whether any
sick person is justified by reason and
common sense in declining to test the
virtues of this undefiled and irresistible
remedy. IL

Vaccination.

In these cold, bleak November days,
when the heart of the unvaccinated
grows leaden with the stories of coming
smallpox, it is advisable that all men
who have not encountered the insinuat-
ing lancet should betake themselves
and their families with all becoming
haste to a physician who understands
the art of vaccination. But let not the
man seeking after burning the corrupt
vesicles hug to his heart the fond but
Elusive theory that all doctors know how
to vaccinate. We have the word of re-
spectacle physician that great ignorance
exists among medical men concerning
this great subject. We are informed
that many use matter that they get they
do not know where; that they use virus
presumably healthy, but which is not to
be depended upon, and that others use
detcriOrated virus because it is ineXpen-
sive. If all this be true, and there seems
to be little reason to doubt it, it is safe
to assume that many persons who have
recently been vaccinated might as well
not have gone through the operation for
all the benefit they will derive from it..
The formation of well-deVelOped vesi-
Gle does not always betoken the success
of the operation, for tainted virus may
produce an infiammatOry sore that will
often be judged, even by the skilled, as
"well taken" A person well vaccinated
in infancy is absolutely protected until
ten years of age. Cases of varioloid,
and even well,devcloped smallpox, have
appeared in children under that age who
have been vaccinated, but investigation
showed the want of perfection in the first
attempt. A person vaccinated in infancy
should have it done again little after
the age of puberty, and not again until
fifty years old. BY observing these pre-
cautions no fear need be entertained of
that dreadful scourge, smallpox. One
may rather pay two or even three dol
lars, for vaccination, than fifty cents or
a dollar, and run the risk of having it de-
fective and inoperative,-N, Y. CONNER
