No use of any longer taking the large, ropul-
eive, gripping drastic and nauseous pills, com
posed of crude and bulky ingredients, and put
up in cheap wood or pasteboard boxes, when
we can, by a careful application Of chemical
science extract all the cathartic and other
medical properties from the most valuable
roots and herbs, and concentrate them into a
minute granule, scarcely larger than a mustard
seed, that can be readily swallowed by those of
the most sensitive stomachs and faetidiou~
tastes. Each of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purga-
tive Pellets represents, in a most concentrate
form, as much cathartic power as is EN- odied
in any of the large pills found for sale in the

have not tried them are apt to suppose tina
they are harsh or drastic in effect but such ii

The JackdaM Did II.

One morning the porter of the store of
Messrs. Root, Anthony & Co., New
York, on opening the front door found
everything in confusion; the floor was
Uttered with tools, oil bottles, steel
and iron wedges, and black muslin by
the piece. Further examination justified
the first suspicion that burglars had
been at work. Keys had been fitted to
the outside locks, on the eve of holiday,
so that the robbers had an entire day,
Sunday and two nights in which to work.
Once inside the building they were met
with the unexpected difficulty of decid-
ing which Of the five safes before them
contained the prize. Fortunately, the
burglars began operations on a safe
which probably never contained q cent
of money, being evidently attracted by
its grim appearance and the fact that it
was hidden away i'll a dark corner of the
store. A vast amount of labor was
wasted upon this old safe, and the rage
and disappointment of the robbers, when
they found out their mistake, were
vented upon the harmless books and
papers which it contained. They then
began work on another safe, which con-
tanned in the days of revenue stamps
what was equivalent to $4,000 in green.

Adjoining the store lives, in his
bachelor rooms, a Restaurant keeper, Mr..
Sutherland, who at the time had d pei
jackdaw that was more than usually
amusing by his antics. He was evel
ready to catch pennies, pick up brillian
,trifes, or indulge in mischief of any
kind. From some cause, either sud

desire to NEEDLE III every ones business

Anthony & Co, The easiest way for Mr.
Sutherland to obtain his pet was through
the store in which the burglars wer
still at work, and as he thought he ha,
heard noises ON the premises, which h
presumed were made by the porter, h
stepped into the street and tried tn
store door. At the same time he saw
man few yards off move uneasily away
After vigorously shaking the door an
hearing no response, he returned to hi

Management Of Sheen.

Readers who keep sheep will find the
following seasonable suggestions from
the Ncw England Homestead both
sensible and true: There a good many
men keeping sheep who are feeding, and
for some time to come intend to feed, Oh
poor hay. On this food they expect the
sheep will thrive during tho wi!:t3r
Two or three weeks before time for the
ewes to lamb they intend to commence
feeding better hay and perhaps n little
grain. These men expect that under
this course of treatment the ewes viii
come out in good condition, bring forth
good lambs, produce fine feeces, and,
taken all around, yield q large percentage
of profit on their cost and valne. Thesa
men are doomed to disappointment
They are trying to do an impos 3ibility,
and failure must be the result. Sheep
need good hay just as much as any kind
of farm stock. They will not thrive
unless they are well fed. Ewes, which
are W uhNb MINUS l1lO COlLLLlB bDLlIS,
ought to be well fed with fine hay, or,
what is better yet, nice rowen, and few
roots will also be very beneficial. L
they are well fed and cared for, they
viii probably have good, strong lambs.
But they cannot do this withoutsullicient
nourishment. If poorly fed, they vii
be poor and sickly. Their lambs will be
weak, many of them will die, and those
which live will be of an inferior quality
and sell for low price. The sheep vii
have light feeces, the wool will BE- Of un
even texture and sell for low figure
Tt may be laid down as a settled pri2ci
pie, that if sheep are well kept they arr
a source Of considerable profit. But i
poorly fed, neglected, or abused, thei
keeping will involve loss and disap
pointment.

All About Fertilizers.

The first annual report of the State
. Inspector of fertilizers in Massachu-
= sets, Prof. Goessmann, of the Amherst
Agricultural College, contains consider
-. able information about the more i'm
portant of our fertilizing materials, their
sources of supply, price and value.
From 30, 900 to 81, 900 tons of Peruvian
aF guano are annually consumed in this
country. This comes mostly from the
Guanape islands, and is somewhat in
ferior i'll quality to that formerly OBJ
tanned from the Chincha islands, the
supply of which is nearly exhausted.
Considering its composition, Peruvian
guano is, when unauthorized, one of the
best and cheapest fertilizers in the mar
ket. Of tish-scraps and fish guano,
large quantities are made on the coast of
New England and Long Island. In
1877 some forty-two fish rendering es-
adjustments were reported as in opera
ton, producing 92,979 tons of scraps
Animal dust made Of blood, meat-scraps
and bones from Strengthening establish
ments; ground bones and bone-black
AL waste, are also very valuable and of in
creasing Importance. It appears that
superphosphates and ammoniated super
phosphates constitute by far the larger
part OF our homemade fertilizers Four
fifths of the phosphoric acid in the
superphosphates comes from South
Carolina and Nawassa island phosphates.
In the majority of cases the nitrogen is
added i'll the form of some heterogeneous
animal matter. Ammonia salts are very
seldom, and soda or potash saltpeter
-- more often used for this purpose Crude
b. sulphate of ammonia, Chill saltpeter
(nitrate of soda) and German potash
salts are also coming rapidly into favor.
= The higher grades of the German potash
salts arc much to be preferred to the
/. lower, which contain large quantities Of
p material Of little fertilizing value; while
the cost of, freight in importation is as
greatas for the purer potash salts.

To the Suffering.

An old retired physician, who is candid
enough to tell the truth about progress,
has declared that the recent discovery by
DR.. Walker, of California, of his herb
remedy, Vinegar Bitters, is one of the
most important in medicine, He has
tested them thoroughly, in his own
family, among his friends, and upon
himself; and he is driven to the conclu-
sion that they possess rare and unex-
celled curative properties. He says of
them: "Ihey contain no dangerous
drug. They never reduce the patient
never render one liable to take cold
never interfere with the everyday bust
ness of life-nover make their continuous
use a condition of cure, and are adapted
to even the most delicate organization.
They act as kindly on the tender infant,
the delicate female, or iniirm old age, as
on the vigorous and athletic system; ex-
ercising healthful effects upon every
blood vessel-on the brain, nerves and
lymphatics-on the blood, bile, gastric
Juice, etc, enriching impoverished fluids,
and imparting vigor to mind and body

All About the Fire.

Even i'll such quiet place as Reading,
Pa, the practical joker's brain seems to
have been at work, for some years ago,
says an old inhabitant, new fire com
pany was organized at Reading, and the
members, one evening, thought they
would have q little innocent fun at the
expense of Hopkins, their foreman.
They decided to rush around to Hop
kin'S house after dark with the engine,
to throw up their ladders, pull out their
hose, climb on his roof, and scare him
with the belief that his dwelling was on
fire. But that very day Hopkins moved
out Of the house, and Presbyterian
clergyman moved in, without the com
pany being aware of the change. So,
about eight o'clock, the humorists
dashed out, and went through all the
proposed movements-getting on the
roof, splashing water around, and
creating a terrific disturbance generally.
A rival company, noticing what was
going on, also hurried to the scene, and,
not understanding the joke, attached
their hose to the plug and began to
empty two-inch stream on the family OF
that Presbyterian clergyman. They
squirted into all the rooms, split up
+ the-window shutters, broke down the
front door, ran out the furniture, tore
off the shingles. etc. The first company
tried to explain, but the newcomers
thought an effort was being made to gel
them out of the way, and fight ensued
Presently firemen were sliding off the
roof, and pelting down the chimneys
and bleeding over the entry carpet, and
having boisterous encounters with span
ners and brass horns on the stairs. The
next morning that Presbyterian divine
and his family moved out. They sale
the place seemed to be too animated anc
sensational for a quiet family circle
They wanted house where there wat
more caImnoss and peace; where they
could have more privacy for their prayers
and pianos, and for their front doc

A Precise Groom.


~ The Russian Minister, ~ Bodisco,
wtitsl Mrs. Jessie Fremont, referring to
e Washington society long ago, was 20 be
married to so young girl that brides
maids already in society would be I'M
suitably old. So myself and seven
T Others, ranging from fourteen to sixteen,
were let TO come out for just this occa-
sion. 1t was a May-and-D December affair;
- aud the bridesmaids and groomsmen
g wro chosen to suit this order of
things
II was all planned and programmed
- by NJ Bodisco himself, who was very
exact about ceremonies, and marshalled
us the day of the wedding as an impress
60 sario would a new troupe. With the
paper in his hand he "called the roll, "
and we took our places in the manner
decided after serious discussion among
- those learned in questions of precedence.
.t.i Mr Fox, as English minister and Doyen,
was equally entitled to be first grooms-
man, with Mr.. Buchanan, who was q
Senator and had been Minister to Rus
STA. Both were accordingly given first
positions by placing us as though we
we're all to be married. The bride and
groom standing in the center, Mr.. Blu,
-chanan and myself next the bridegroom
aud next the bride Mr.. Fox and small
girl of twelve; and so on, ending witt
...s the only young groomsmen, Smith Val
Buren, and Kemble Paulding who were
----lads under twenty. This arrangement
~ made the occasion for many stiff Jokes
which did not please all the bridesmaids
who, young as they were, had other
$50 ideals Of love and marriage than the ell
v--. derby men who were their partners fol
this time.
NJ. Bodisco had decided our dress, and
we made quaint looking set in the long
dresses of white satin-damask, made tC
give us look of greater age than We
We're entitled to. He was very kind
. llatured man, and the marriage proved
one of entire goodwill and content, which
was more than was reasonable to expect
After the first official dinners ant
balls had been given it was judged

hours and ideas, and was put back t,

An Ingenious PhilOlOgist.

An English missionary found himself
amid an extremely remote and savage
tribe, who conversed with each other by
means of hard and rude sounds. The
missionary tried long to get hold of the
sounds in such way as to represent
them in signs. Having, after a year OF
so, obtained clew, he had neither pen,
ink, nor paper, but he had wooden leg
and knife, and he cut on his leg the
letter he thought correspondent to the
signs. He then taught the sayages the
art of connecting sounds and written
signs. The Missionary, believe, died
or left that region, but he left his wood
en- leg, and after time the savages work
ed out from it an alphabet and a written
language.
By some mysterious means, too, they
got hold of printing press, and an
English traveller got hold of a few print.
ed leaves, which he could not under.
stand, but brought home to Mr.. Norris
The Orientalist examined them carefully
and was struck by the fact that the sen
fences were printed in single or para
graph style.
1t struck him that they might b.
copied from the Bible. He counted tho
number of paragraphs or verses in one o
the unmeaning chapters, and the1
searched for chapter in the Bible
which had the same number of verses
He found that there was only one-a
psalm, and on comparing the words o
the savage writing to those in the psalm
he made out the alphabet of the tribe
and laid a complete translation of the
pages before the Oriental Society.
