HANGING A HAMMOCK.

Swinging in a hammock is the very
luxury of repose. 1t is restful Just to
think of it; and to pass by clump of
shade trees, or vine-curtained veranda.
and watch the lazy swing of one of these
aerial couches. without envy, is an example
OF virtue that is not often vouchsafed to
one with generous capacity for resting.
The general idea is that hammocks are
only for the wealthy, "the stylish" the
professional time-kllers. 1t is a great
mistake. Every well-to-do farmer, every
owner of cosy village home, every
member of city stay-at-home club who
commands spot big enough to swing
one, should have hammock. Very good
ones may be bought for 81 so to $4; and
the last Agriculturist has cut showing
how they should be hung-where there
is good afternoon shade, and if intended
in part for children's use, so low that
small children can get into it by the aid of
a box or low stool, and over soft ground.
so that the numerous tumbles that are
probable will be harmless. If no other
place is available, it may be hung between
the pillars of a shady veranda, a place
we'll enough for the older people who use
it, but undesirable for children, on account
of the lack of soft turf, as we'll as for the
noise which accompanies its use by the
youngsters. When children only are to
use the hammock, the manner of handling
it is important, but if provided for the use
of grown persons, it should then be so
suspended that the head will always be
considerably higher than the foot, and
much of the comfort of the one who uses
this. depends upon a proper observance of
| this fact. If you have no more suitable
place, suspend it from the columns of a
| veranda. The hook which supports the
head end should be IA feet from the
floor, and that for the foot end 8 3-4 feet,
and these proportions should be observed
wherever it may be hung, to secure the
most desirable curve for the ease of the
occupant. Another point to be Observed
the head end should be fastened to the
hook by rope. less than a foot long-just
enough to properly attach it, while at the
foot is rope 4 12 feet long. This gives
the greatest freedom for swinging the
lower part of the body. while the head
moves but little. This is point which
cannot be observed in hammock for
children, who think more of it as a swing
than as a place for comfortable repose.
When trees serve for supports, ample pro-
vision should be made to prevent injury
to the bark, by means of stout canvas OF
heavy bagging between the ropes to
which it is suspended and the bark. If
the hanging be so arranged that the ham,
mock can be taken in during long storms,
it will last much longer.-Golden Rule.

UNLIMITED REMEDIAL REsoRcES

People sometimes suppose that Dr.. Pier
ce's Family Medicines represent the entire
extent OF resources for curing disease. This
Is an error. Experience proved that while
thcGolden Medical DiccovGry, Favorite Pre-.
| scrIption, Pleasant Purgative Pallets, Com.
pound Extract of Smart-Weed, and Dr.
Sage's Catarrh Remedy, would, II faithfully
used, cure large variety Of chronic COM
plants, there would be here and there n
case, which, from It's severity, or from its
complication with other disorders, would
resist their action. These exceptional cases
required u thorough examination into their
SYMPTOMS, to ascertain the exact nature aud
| extent OF the disease or diseases underwhich
the patient was laboring, and the use OF spe.
| citic remedies to meet and overcome the
same. This led to the establishment Of the
Worlds Dispensary, ut Buffalo, n. y, with
tsFacultyo OF Physicians and Surgeons, each
OF whom Is skilled in the treatment OF
chronic disorders in general and those be.
longing 10 his own special department in
particular. To one Is assigned diseases OF
the throat and lungs; to another, diseases
Of the kidneys and urogenital organs; to
another, diseases Of the digestive organs; to
another, diseases Of the nervous system;
and TO another, diseases OF the eye and ear.
Thus the highest degree Of perfection in
medicine and surgery is attained. The
establishment OF this institution enables
the Doctor to meet long.fclt want in the
treatment OF the more severe chronic alec.
tons. By q careful consideration OF the
symptoms as given in writing, he success
| fully treats thousands OF cases at their
homes. Others visit the Dispensary in per.
son, The amplest resources for the treat.
mtnt Of lingering affections are thus placed
at the disposal OF every patient, and those
