20 wearisome condition of humanity"

How many wretched homes in our
land! How many heart-broken invalids |!
Lie with many signifies mere onerous
existence. All are subject to disease.
but when health Is removed the hope is
nearly gone out. Sickness is usually
incurred through exposure or careless
ness. Especially Is this true with those
diseases peculiar TO woman. Through
her own imprudence and folly she is
made to drag out a miserable existence
"a source of annoyance and anxiety to
her friends, and any thing but a COM
Tort and pleasure to herself. Exposure
to the cold at times when she should be
most prudent, and overtaxing her body
with laboriOus employment, are both
fruitful causes of many of the maladies
from which she suffers. Gradually the
bloom leaves her cheeks, her lips grow
ashy. white, her vivacity departs, she
continually experiences a feeling of
WEAKNESS and general languor, and al
together presents ghostly appearance.
What does she need? Should she take
some stimulating drug, which will for
the time make her '.feel better" or does
her entire system demand reparation .
She requires something which not ONLY
will restore to health the diseased or
gans, but will tone and invigorate the
system. DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion will do this. 1t imparts strength
to the diseased parts, brings back the
glow Of health, and restores comfort
where previously there was only suf.

Consumptives, Take NoticsI

Every moment of delay makes your
cure more hopeless, and much depends
on the judicious choice of remedy.
The amount of testimony in favor of
DIR. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, as a
cure for consumption, far exceeds all
that can be brought to support the pre-
tensions of any other medicine. See
DIR. Schenck's Almanac, containing the
certificates of many persons of the high
est responsibility, who haze been re-
stored to health, after being pronounced
incurable by physicians of acknow-
lodged ability. Sehenck's Pulmonic
Syrup alone has cured many, as these
evidences will show; but the cure is
often promoted by the employment of
two other remedies which DIR. Schenck
provides for the purpose. These addi-
tiOnal remedies are Schenck's Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By the
timely use of these medicines, according
to directions, DIR. Schenck certifies tina.
most any case of Consumption may be
cured.

principal office, Corner Sixth and Arch
Streets, Philadelphia, every Monday,

FAITHFUL AMONG THE fAITHLESS.

Once in 3 while. in this world so strange,
To tighten our sad regrets.
We may find heart that is true through
change"
A heart that never forgets-
But rare as q rose in December,
As bird in an Arctic cline,
Is heart that can ever remember,
Through sorrow, and change, and time.
Once in q while We find friend
That Will cling through good and i'll
Whose friendship follows us cen to the end,
Be it up or sdown hill
But the heart so true and the love 80 tender.
And friendships faithful smile.
Whether We dwell in sadness or splendor,
We find but once in q while.

KEEPING APPLEs.-There are three
requisites for keeping apples well-a
low temperature, about freezing, a uni
form, or changeless temperature, and
the exclusion of air currents. Apples
will not freeze unless few degrees be-
low the freezing point, and if they
could be kept constantly about 32 de-
grees Fab. they would not decay i'm a
year. As we cannot attain this in
practice we must come as near to it as
we can. Place the fruit in a cool out
house as soon as gathered, and keep it
there till freezing weather sets in.
Keep it as cold in the cellar as practi-
cable by open windows, and use a
thermometer to regulate uniform
temperature. Alterations of heat and
cold soon rot apples. This is the reason
that apples keep longer in barrels than
on open shelves; and barrels would be
best, if we could only tell when the de-
cay begins, for as soon as this COM
mences the whole barrel is soon spoiled.
Wrapping each specimen in paper op-
crates in the same manner as barrels
excludes warm and cold currents, and
preserves uniform temperature. We
have tried it on counted specimens of
wrapped and exposed specimens, and
found the wrapped ones to keep the
longer.-COuntry Gentleman.

Healthful Cellars.

A dry and neatly-kept cellar is a
pretty good guarantee of health to the
family whose members are breathing
the air from it day and night. Every
body believes in having pure air to
breathe; but we are sorry to. tell the
truth that thousands are breathing i'm
pure air on account of foul cellars.
What are the essentials offs good cellar |?
1t must be dry; it must have stone walls
outside and division walls of either
stone or brick; the floor of cement upon
a foundation of cObble stones previously
imbedded in the earth by means of a
maui handled by two men; plastered
ceilings and walls; complete ventila-
ton by means of large windows. If
these points are secured, the cellar be-
comes one of the most important rooms
in the house.-PhreRoiogie Journal.

Employer and Employed.

tits very common for young men now
a-days to study how little they can make
suffice in the way of the labor they per-
form for their employers, rather than
how much they can possibly do to rem
der themselves useful. We say this is
common now, and We suppose it always
has been common. But we think 1t will
be found on examination never to have
been the course pursued by men who in
after life became distinguished for their
success. Such men worked for their
employers as afterwards, when they got
into business on their own account,
they worked for themselves.

GREEN FoDDER.-In Europe, expert
ments with green corn stalks and rye
buried close in pits, have shown that
the corn stalks after being buried four
months kept perfectly well and i'm good
condition, but the rye did not keep as
well. The corn stalks kept so well be-
cause they contained the largest pro-
portion OF water, or so per cent. Pits
filled in December with a LAYER of Ice
in the top, before covering, kept down
to the low temperature till the last. We
are informed that Professor Miles de-

in the corn, little red pepper and some
salt; then add quart of milk, make it

Where to Look for Arsenic In Cases of
Poisoning. of great tOx-
ical importance have lately been made
by ScolOsubOff (SOc. Ch. August 1879
with reference to the distribution OF
arsenic in the tissues of animals in
cases of poisoning. Contrary to gene
raj belief, he finds the arsenic specially
condensed in the nervous tissues. The
experiments were made with dogs, rab-
bits, and frogs. Dogs bear large doses
of arsenic quite readily taking without
difficulty fifteen to eighteen times the
quantity which, weight for weight,
would be fatal to man. A bulldog took
for thirty-fOur days gradually increas-
ing quantities of sodium arsenite in his
food, rising from 0'075 grain to 2'2
grains day. The results of the pOis-
Oning were acute and quite marked.
Calling the amount of arsenic found in
0'22 10. of muscle 1, that in the same
weight of liver was 1913; brain, 36'5 /;
spinal cord, 37-3. A dog of "a and one
fifth lbs. weight was killed by subcut
aneOus injection of sodium arsenite, in
IL hours. The arsenic from the brain
gave a decided reaction, that from the
spinal cord was less, while in the liver
and muscles only taces could be de-
tected.

Rupert drops are clear, bright. and

violence upon the large end without
fracture, and if the thin, but tough and
very elastic thread of the other ex-
