WASHINGTON, April 3, 1861.
DIR. FORSHA-Slr: Before you start West,
can do no less than thank you again for
your excellent and successful treatment of
my son. He had been sick for many weeKs
under the care of a medical gentleman OF
whom have high opinion, for his learn
ing, skill and experience, and yet he was
rot cured. His disease, suppose without
certainly knowing), was brought on by
overstraining, in artillery exercise, in very
hot weather, at West Point. When he
came into your hands, his breast bone lone
side at least was protuded some two inches
beyond its proper position, attended with
difficulty of breathing and frequent pains.
By the application OF your medicines, and
your personal practice. in less than a week
the bones were reduced to their proper po-
sition, the pains ceased, the breathing be-
came easy and regular, and, as far as can
Judge, he is restored to his accustomed ro-
bust health and activity.
Besides this within my own KNOWLEDGE
have heard of many instances of extraor-
binary cures effected by you, in cases of
very dangerous wounds.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,

How to Fry Chicken.-The best fried

Bean Porridge. -Parboil the beans
as If for baking; drain and put them in

than the soup, and no flavor save the

broken and tender, and then add hulled
corn or Indian meal, or both. Stir in the
meal carefully, not to lump or get too
thick. When it is well cooked and sea-
soned properly, take a large spoon and
stir thoroughly together. You will have

A Brakeman Saves Careless Girls
Life.

Charles Crandall, a brakeman on the
New York g. New Haven Railroad, saved
the life OF Mary 4. Jones, in Portchester,
recently, at the imminent risk of his own.
Miss Jones was crossing the track, when
she recognized an acquaintance in little
boy and stopped to talk with him. He
was not on the road-bed, but Miss Jones
stood on the track, which was trembling
with the approach of a Boston express
at full speed. A freight train stood on
the other track and the men were busy
switching cars on side track. Crandall
was on freight car that was moving and
hearing the express, shouted to Miss
Jones to get out Of the way She seemed
not TO hear and continued her converse

and ran toward the woman, who, too late
to save herself, saw her danger. II

A Hack Adventure.

ONE evening last week there was a
wedding in this city, at which quite a
number of the elite of San Francisco
were present. The affair passed OFT most
pleasantly; the fair bride and the manly
groom received the congratulations OF
their friends; their happiness was toast
ed in bumpers of champagne, and 1t was
late ere any offered to depart from the
pleasant scene. One lady was there
whose good husband had been forced to
remain at his Office to prepare business
of moment for the morrow, and upon an
intimate friend he imposed the pleasant
duty Of waiting on Madam to her home.
The friend most gladly accepted the task.
He had known the lady long, and knew
her to be as charming companion as she
was devoted wife and mother. Even
the fact that he was lawyer and USED
to deep plunges in the Opaque waters OF
probate proceedings had not left HIM
devoid of all human sympathy; neither
had it quite extinguished those QUALITIES
of p0liteness for which he was noted In
earlier days.

Catching Cold.

A WRITER in aLondon paper says in re-
gard to catching cold:
The teaching Of quarter of century
has taught the middle classes some ele-
mentary truths about hygiene, and they
have as rule vague idea that bad
drainage produces typhoid, that wet feet
are not good for consumptive people,
that cleanliness in the home is desirable
that whitewashing is good disinfectant,
and that the skin Is the healthier for
plenty of water, but they know very lit
tie more. We should not say they knew
that much were 1t not that an alarm OF
cholera, OF an outbreak of typhoid, or a
burst of scarlet fever seems to bring out

They do know a little, moreover, about

ming which darts across the sky and
every electric spark, great or small,
which in any other form passes through
the air, causes minute proportion of
these two gases along the line of its
course to unite together and produce
nitric acid. This acid is very favorable
to vegetable growth and is indeed one of
the substances which the falling rains
and dews are appointed to wash out Of
the air, and in doing so to bring down
10 the soil and to plants valuable form
OF food, which Is thus daily prepared for
them among the winds of heaven. The
disintegrating force of frost enables the
substance also to penetrate the soil,
where 1t remains stored up till required
to build up vegetable tissue.
What are the uses of snows For there is
no waste OF energy in the forces of nature.
In the first place it may be said to keep
the earth warm in times of severe frost;
and in the second place it nourishcs the
mother on whose bosom it lies white and
clear in winter. 1t is in this way that
the snow may be said to keep the earth
warm; 1t is a very bad conductor of
heat, and the consequence is that where
the surface of the ground is covered
with snow its temperature very rarely
descends below freezing point, even in
cases where the superintendent air is
fifteen or twenty degrees colder. In one
OF the Psalms of David, the writer states,
using beautiful figure: "The Lord
giyeth snow like wool; He scattereth
the hoar frost like ashes" At first sight
1t may appear strange to compare snow
to wool. That wool is warm because
air is entengled among the fibers of the
wool, and air is a very bad conductor of
heat; and also that air is entangled
among the crystals of the snow, and air
being very bad conductor, there is great
appropriateness in the figure.
The protective quality of snow as
means of preventing injury to plants has
been abundantly illustrated. AS a rule a
good crop of wheat follows where the
snow falls early and remains upon the
ground throughout the winter. When
heavy, permanent snow melts away on
the approach of spring, it discloses
picture OF living vegetation which, under
the genial influence of sun and rain,
springs Immediately into the full flush
of healthy existence.
snow is nourisher in the sense that 1t
supplies moisture containing carbonic
acid, which penetrates slowly into the
soil and insinuates itself through every
clod, ridge and furrow when the snow
melts.
Those are the master races in this
world which enjoy the four seasons dis
tinctly marked. Winter, with his frost
and his SHOWS, is one of these seasons.
Let us, therefore, be indulgent to Jack
Frost, for IL is he who stimulates our
mental and physical energies and gives
Us our high rank among the master races
of the world-IuJ, Field and Farm.

Table Fashions.

In no branch of decorative art Is there

merchants import decorated dinner and
lunch and tea sets, and at the same time
introduce tinted wedgewood and majoli-

coraline, rich purple and vivid greens for
entrees, fruits, ices, salads, tarts, pickles,
flowers. There il the glaze of Worcester
pottery covered with dull red flowers and
butterflies for tea sets, and the quaint
ness of Japanese china In cream color,
and an exquisite unity of blue with green
in Chinese ware. French china now
comes in entire sets of ea-green, pearl
gray, all shades of buff, deep maroon,
rose pink, celadon, celeste and olive tints,
beautifully decorated and delicately
traced In gold or ornamented TO order
with initials or monogram and crest. A
cold collation. or lunch by sunlight Is q
serious ordeal. Silver Is undeniably ugly

first impression upon seeing table so
