A Beautiful Woman.

The perceptive faculty of women is
usually keener than the same phreno-
logical organ in men. Woman knows
that beauty rather than genius is
worshiped by the sterner sex. A man
may talk with his lips of the latter to
his lady-love, but the keenness of the
woman knows that he is thinking of the
former in his heart. All women have an
innate desire to please their beauT. They
are fond of admiration, hence one Of
their longings is to be beautiful. The
grand secret of female beauty is health
the secret of health is the power to
eat, digest and assimilate proper
quantity of wholesome food. TAX
Vinegar Bitters. 1t will cleanse the
stomach, tone the vital organs, give a
perfect digestion, purify the blood, clear
up the complexion, and produce a state
of mental and physical electricity which
gives symmetry of form, bright eyes,
white skin, glossy hair, and genuine
type of female loveliness which no
cosmetic can compare with.-Com.

Orchard and Nursery.

If new orchards are to be set in the
spring, the trees should be ordered this
winter, when there is abundant time to
consider the matter and to secure q
proper selection of trees. If there is a
nursery near by, at which the desired
stock can be had, it is better to purchase
there, rather than send to distance for
the trees. First-class nurserymen have
a reputation which they desire to keep;
they are careful not to send out any trees
not true to name.
Scraping and washing the trunks and
larger limbs.will destroy many eggs of
injurious insects. Use wash of common
soft soap, t&hned to apply readily. The
best implement for scraping off the loose
bark, is a triangular plate of iron, havinL
3 inch sidss and the edges ground. This
may be fastened by its centre to handle
2 to feet long.

Investment with Positive Return.

No financial securities yet offered in the
market have become so readily and generally
popular as the first mortgage premium bonds of
the Industrial Exhibition Company of New
York, and there exists many potent reasons for
this marked preference. In the first place, the
bonds are placed at the attainable price of $40
each, and the return of the principal is assured
beyond contingency further, the holder of
each bond participates in every quarterly pre-
MUM until it is redeemed principal and inter-
est. By addressing Morgenthau, Bruno & Co.,

A Drop of Joy in Every Word.
FLEuNGToy, Hunterdon Co., n. j.,

June 26, 1874.
Dr. R. V. PIERCE, Buffalo, n. Y: Dear Si,
1t is with happy heart that pen these
lines to acknowledge that you and your Golden
Medical Discovery and Purgative Pellets are
blessings to the world. These medicines can
not be too highly praised, for they have almost
brought me out of the grave Three months
ago | was broken out with large ulcers and
sores on my body, limbs and face procured
your Golden Medical Discovery and Purgative
Pellets and have taken six bottles and to-day
II am in good health, all those ugly ulcers hav-
ing healed and left my skin in natural
healthy condition. / thought at one time
could not be cured. Although l can but poorly
express my gratitude to you, yet there is drop
of joy in every word l write. Gods blessing
rest on you and your wonderful medicines is the
humble prayer of Yours truly,
JAMES o. BELLS.
When medicine will promptly cure such ter
rible eating ulcers and free the blood of the
virulent poison causing them, who can longer
doubt its wonderful virtues? DIR. Pierce, how
ever, does not wish to place his Golden Medical
Discovery in the catalogue of quack patent nos
trums by recommending it to cure every dis
ease, nor does he 30 recommend it but what
he does claim is this, that there is but one form
of blood disease that it will not cure and that
disease is cancer. He does not recommend his
Discovery for that disease, yet he knows it to
be the most searching blood cleanser yet dis
covered and that it will free the blood and sys-
tenn of all other known blood poisons be they
animal, vegetable or mineral. The Golden Dis
covery is rdrrdIited by him to cure the worst
forms of skin diseases, as all forms of blotches
pimples and eruptions, also all glandular SWELL
ings, and the worst form of scrofulous and ul-
cerated sores of neck, legs or other parts and
all scrofulous diseases of the bones, as white
swellings, fever sores, hip, joint and spinal dis
eases, all of which belong to scrofulous dis
eases.-COnl.

Humboldt adopted the idea tina, tn
principal phenomena of terrestrial MAJ.

sions. near the center of the es-., &: hut !,

senfing the broad facts Of terrestrial mao.

In many special cases
Hansteen suggested the theory of two
large magnets within the earth, but this
failed to meet the facts Of observation.
Gauss attempted to explain the cause Of
terrestrial magnetism by supposing that
magnets are distributed irregularly througb
the earth, and the results Of observation
generally accord with the necessities az
lis theory.
Regarding the earth as Heterogeneous

the opinion of many physicists) that there
il in the interior great store of caloric
which may heat the points of contact, some
of them steadily and some of them by oc-
casional bursts of fame, it seems within
the range of possibility that such a com.
bination of heat with dissimilar sub
stances may be the cause of terrestrial
magnetism But there u no evidence Of
this beyond mere conjecture. tits worthy
of remark that the is0thermal lines on
the eartb's surface bear a striking re.
semblance to the lines of equal magnetic

the opinion that the general cause of the
earth's magnetism still remains one of the
mysteries of cosmical physics.-Scientife

Shedding Ones Skin.

No animal is exempt from the opers
tons of the law of degeneration. Birds
shed their feathers annually, serpents their
skins, quadrupeds their hair, and HOLSTERS
and crabs their shells.
So it Is with humanity. The skin, in
stead of being thrown off annually, as with
those referred to, is all the time wearing
off, and therefore constantly being re-
newed.
The scarf-skin Is insensible. 1t is to
the true skin, or eutts pepa, what the rough,
scaly bark of tree Is to the vitalized coat
Immediately under it. In the use of our
hands, feet and ordinary exercises of the
body, fragments of skin are constantly
rubbed off, so that 1t may be truly said
every living person is always shedding
that tissue.
II that process were interrupted, as it is
partially by some who neglect to avail
themselves of the benefits of water, the
pores become clogged, and their utility In
the preservation of health destroyed. Thus
the actual amount of scarf.s skin dropping
on, rubbed off, and washed off in year
would be about equal to the thickness and
weight of a thin sheep.skin --.Sctenee Of

at the end Of this time Huber moved the
whole into the garden, and few ants
managed to escape. Having met their old
companions, who still lived ut the foot of

They were seen, In fact, all of them, 10
gesticulate, 10 caress each other mutually
with their antenn@, 10 take each other by

Very soon they came in crowd To look
for the other ants under the bell, and IN
few hours our observers apparatus was
completely evacuated by its prisoners.

WE shook hands with an old farmer a few
days ago, and for manners sake, asked for the
health of his family, and how matters and
things generally were moving along out in his
corner of this moral vineyard. He answered,
in substance, that it was hard season on him
the hoppers were desperate bad; the cut
worms literally eat his corn up last spring; his
fowls all died of cholera oats laid down-lost
half of them, easy; wet weather ruined his
wheat; he had a horse to die of collie; cow 10
die from eating wild plums; he had just bu'
ried his aged father, and now must settle his
doctor bill, and buy monument he had just
paid the Ohio Farmers Insurance Company
thirteen dollars; q lightning-ro man twenty
two dollars; good many of his sheep had
died of hoof-rot; the cabbage-worms had eat
en- all his cabbage, &C., &c. We listened two
solid hours-excused ourself-and solemnly
promised within ourself never to shake with
him any more. 1t was not fifteen minutes till
he was asking another man where he could
loan $250Q at 8 per cent?

SCHOOLS open next Monday. Let pupils
start in at the beginning. Don't wait, parents.
till your children are few weeks behind.
They may not catch up during the term. Our
boys and girls have had long rest. En-
courage them now to go to work with zest,
that this Centennial winter may be the COM
mencement of a new era in school affairs.
How much is there for parents and teachers to
do? How much of it will be done? In the
hurry and worry of life do we sometimes sit So
berly down and consider to what degree we are
doing our personal duty toward the children
God has given us? There are enough ciphers
in the Arithmetic of society now. Let us
make units out of your child and mine. High
School will open Monday afternoon.
