LINEMENTS.

One thing is now thoroughly established Never
since man suffered and human agenties al!evlatcd
pain, has there been anything which went so lar as
pain annihilaor and curative agent as the Centaur
I.nements. These linements have within the past
year cured more cases OF Rheumatism, Neuralgia
Stiff joints, Csked Breasts, Sweilings, Poisonous
Bites, Lame Animals, etc than all 0thes remedies
combined As the name Of Centaur implies half
horse and mailman. ,hehe name the Centaur Line
ments are for man and beast. But not the same
Lnment. The White Linment Is for man the
yellow for horses and animals. Herein this
Iinment differs from other remedies, although
some of the ingredients alike in each. They
contain the wc-knOwn witch hazel arnca, carbo
ic, rock oil menlha and other powerful ingredients.

PLEASANT BED RoOMS.-There is moth

genuine culture i'll Lamlly than bright,
cheerful and tasLelully decorated be-

necessarily mean expense, and 1t is
possible to make chamber look very

IN MANY instances, no outlay at all
would be required beyond what would
be incurred under any circumstances.
The women OF family, especially, are

HOW PRAIRIE DOGS GET WATER.

1t has always been II asubject of Curl
osity and inquiry as to how and where
prairie dogs, living on the prairie lar
away from any river or stream, obtain
their water. Mr.. f. Leech, formerly of
Mercer County, Pennsylvania, ana a
frontiersman OF experience, asserts that
the dogs dig their own wells, each viii
lage having one with concealed open
ing. 1t matters not how far down the
water may be, the dogs will keep Oh dig
ging until they reacn it. He knows OF
one such we'll TWO hundred feet deep,
and having circular stai case leading
ing down to the water. Every time u
doL wants d drink he descends this
.aircase, which, considering the dis
lance, ls no mean task. In dgglug tor
water, the animals display as much
pluck as in resisting the efforts OF set
tiers to expel them from t4e land Of their
Drogeuitors.

A Boston exchange says: The furni-
ture manu- acturers and dealers report
that trade just now is showing some i'm
in both wholesale and retail
directions. 1T is, however, qulLe back
ward, and the season promises to be
rather short. Drummers in many cases
nave but just started out on the road,
whereas they used to go a month or two
earlier. The West is only buying here,
as a rule, what will give them our Ia
yorite novelties and designs for lmita.
ton, and is largely doing It's own manu-
lacJurng.
The great hope of our dealers in WIN
ming back any OF their formerly large
Western business is to secure again the
fashionable adoption of some imported
woods, sueh as mahogany. This latter
iu durability and beauty is unsurpassed,
aud its securing demand as against
Western woods, such as black wainut,
would be vast benefit to our own man
uIacuurers. 1t is encouraging to note
that mahogany is somewhat coming into
use again tor fine uttice and business
lurniture and finishings. Moreover
there is an increasing sale of mahogany
chamber sets and other house turnl
ture.
