CERTAIN CURE EoR PILES.

An infallible remedy for all distinctions or

A certain cure-It is woman's best friend.

Sound Reasoning.

Consumption Is decay. Soothing, expectorant
remedies are only useful as paliatives they do
reach the cause-they do not stop the decay. Tonic
medicines strengthen the life forces and prolong
the battle, but the decay goes steadily on and
err or later the victim must yield. climate changes
are sometimes good but they seldom wholly cure.
In short the very first thing to be done is TO STOP
THE DECAY; then apply the restorative tonic and
strength giving treatment. Think moment. The
Lungs are decaying-tubercles, alterations cavi-
ties and deposits OF poisonous matter (pus) for
ming The circulation carries this poison all over
the body. Wasting, loss of appetite, enervation,
night sweats, and all the terrible symptoms appear
is it worth while to doctor the symptoms which
merely the results. while the decay. which is the
cause, is eating up the life springsf
| These two things are well known by the best
physicians:
LIST. Carbolic acid positively arrests Decay 1t is
| the most powerful antiseptic in the known world.
Even dead bodies preserved by it. Entering in
to the circulation ii at grapples with corrup-
ton and decay ceases. Ii purihes the sources Of
disease.
I'd Cod Liver Oil is Natures best assistant in re-
sistiNg Consumption. 1t Is at once food tonic,
a purifier, and healer. 1t braces up and supplies
the vital forces, feeds the wasted system, and ena
bles nature to regain her foothold- For these pur
poses nothing can compare with Cod Liver Oil.

Snow In st. Petersburg.

A correspondent of the Hartford Post
gives this account of the singular way
in which snow falls at st. Petersburg
1.-THE cold steadily increased for per-
haps ten days, when little snow began
to fall, and almost every day since a
little has fallen, till now there is per-
haps six inches. There has been little
or no wind, though one day i. blew
some and about two inches of snow fell,
which is called here quite storm.
learn there are never any snow storms
in this part of Russia during which
more than six inches of snow falls. But
the acquisition of snow is constant. 1t
does not appear to come from the clouds,
but the water held in solution in the
atmosphere, which is very damp, it
being so near the sea, and country per-
fectly fiat, congeals and crystalizes and
then falls slowly but constantly half an
inch. or perhaps less, per day. No one
carries an umbrella, rs it does not snow
fast enough to get wet in, and nobody
minds it, but they walk, ride or skate
all the time. Hundreds of men work
constantly sweeping the sidewalks, cross
walks and streets. 1t is not in sufficient
quantity to shovel, but is swept into
heaps and carried of, leaving only
enough in the streets to insure good
sleighing. In this manner, l learn, ii
will fall for q month or two longer, and,
while there will be perhaps three OF
four feet in the country, there will never
be enough in this city to impede travel,
and believe the horse-csrs, of which
there are many, run all winter"

HispanO-M Moresque, and easily recog-
nizable by the peculiar metallic lustre
on its surface. This ware W; largely
exported from Spain to Italy, ms somuch
that the most and the finest pieces are
to this day found in that country, and
not i'll Spain; and in time the Italians
began to set up pOtteries of their own,
and to initiate the Moorish ware. They
called their limitations Majolica or Maio-
lica-the ancient Italian name of Ma
jOrca-either because the Moorish pot
terry was made there or thence brought,
or because the Italians fancied that it
was. At going OFF the Italian potters
could not compass either the lustre of
the Moorish ware or the rich, enamel
like glaze of these foreign potters, and
their first works were led glazed, and
are known tocollectorsa rs half Majolica,
"Mezza Majolica )" but towards the end
of the fifteenth century they began to
initiate the lustred wares. AT last they
got hold of the great tin secret, and
their pottery soon surpassed the HIS
pano- MOresque wares in beauty. In
the Moors' own speciality of lustred
wares they were excelled by the ltal-
ians, and at the town of GubblO mode
of imparting a lustre of Il red color of
surprising beauty was lnvented-a Sc
cret that was never disseminated, and
soon lost; and the rare ruby-lustred
plates of Gubbio are now among the
greatest treasures of the art collectors.
