A Point on which the Doctors Agree

Physicians who have tested Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bltters concur in representing it to be an
eminenty safe stimuldHt far preferable to the
ordinary liquors Of commerce, not only because
il lie medicated, but because it is infinitely pure.
Its alcoholic basis is the finest old rye, and this
is tempered and rendered medicinal by the Gu
ratiye ingredients Of botanic origin which It
holds in solution. 1t has often been initiated,
but never rivalled, and is to-day the leading
tonic, diuretic and aperient Of America. Mala'
rial fevers are prevented and remedied by it,
and it is a thoroughly reliable medicine in
cases Of dyspepsia, constipation, liver COM
plant, rheumatism, govt, nervousness, uri-
nary and uterine affections. 1t improves the
appetite, increases the bodily stamina, checks
premature decay, and as a sustaining and

SepdqdttOn o fArsenic from Cobalt and
NicEeL.-Most of the common ores OF
nickel and cobalt contain a consider
able quantity of arsenic; and perhaps
on this account the crude metallic ar
senic is sold in drug stores under the
name of cobalt" The usual method
of dissolving the ores, and precipitat-
ing the arsenic by ~sulphuretted hydro
gen, 10 Objectionable on account OF the
d~isagreeable odor and poisonous pro-
perties of this gas. Professor Wohler
avoids this inconvenience by the use OF
oxalic acid. The ore, kupter nickel or
speiss cobalt, is dissolved in aqua regia,
e%vapOrated, If necessary, 30 as to expel
the excess of acid, and precipitated
while boiling hot with carbonate OF
soda. After washing, the still moist
precipitate is treated with al excess OF
a concentrated solution of OXalic acid.
Both metals are thus converted into
oxalates, while the arsenic acid goes
into solution along with the oxide OF
iron. The mixture of nickel and cobalt
oxalates ia thoroughly washed, and
may be separated by ammonia accord
ing to Langier's process. If the ore
contains copper, 1t should be precipita-
ted by means of finely divided metallic
iron that has been reduced by hydro
gen. The dissolved iron must after.

TIE WHITE HOUSE WHITEwAsH.-A
correspondent wishes the recipe for the
WhiteWash used on the east end Of the
White House. Take one-half bushel Of
nice unslacked lime, slack Il with boil
ing water, cover 1t during the process
10 keep In the steam. Strain the liquor
through a fine sieve or strainer, and add
70 IL a peck Of salt previously well dis
solved In warm water; three pounds Of
ground rice boiled to a thin paste; one
half pound of powdered Spanish Will
ting, and one pound of clean glue, which
has been previously dissolved by soak
ing II well, and then hang II over a slow
fire In a small kettle within a larger
one filled with water. Add five gallons
Of hot water 10 the mixture, stir IL we'll,
and let ii stand a few days covered from
dust. Il should be put on hot, and for
this purpose IL a be kept In a kettle
on q portable furnace. Ii is said that
about a pint Of this mixture will cover
q square yard upon the outside Of a
house, II properly applied. Fine or
coarse brushes may be used, according

answer as well as oil paint for wood,
brick or stone and is cheaper. Ii retains
its ~brilliancy for many years. There is
nothing Of the kind that will compare
with Il, either for inside or outside
walls. Buildings or fences covered
with II will take a much longer time to
burn than II they were painted with oil
paint. Coloring matter may be put In
and made ofany shade desired. Spanish
brown will make reddish pink when

Ivy FOR INDOOR DEcoRATIos.-I do
not know a single plant that will stand
so much hard usage as Ivy. The only
point on which %cultiyatOrs err, Is not
keeping the leaves clean. IL II be well
washed two or three times a week, and
the soil we'll watered, 1t will grow for
weeks, and even years, without danger
from change Of temperature. A vase
not necessarily costly, will answer well
for ivy, and this reminds me Of an ex-
cellent plan Of growing 1t In vases.
Long shoots of the ivy were procured,
with the young and tender @rial roots
very abundant. The lower ends we're
wrapped In moss, and then some five or
six Of these were lightly tied together
at the bottom aud placed In the vase
The latter was filled within a few
inches of the top with water and the
ball Of moss suspended therein. Thus
managed, the roots soon commence 10
grow; afterwards the moss need not
quite reach the water, as the roots ex-
tend down into 1t, and prove all suffi'
Client.
So many very beautiful varieties of
ivy are now In cultivation that by select
ing kinds that will form a decided con-
trast In shape and color, the effort may
be materially heightened. The centre
of the vase may be filled with cut how-
ers or grass, or, indeed, nothing would
look better than ferns. The Ivy may be
allowed to hang down over the sides OF
the vase In graceful festOons, or else
trained over and around the window,
thus making a room appear cheerful
and pleasant all the winter through. 1t
is not necessary, and In fact / do not
believe that Ivy will grow as we'll In
strong light as when IL is In a partially
shaded position, as 1t likes shade and an
even, cool temperature. / have known
instances where ivy has been grown In
large tubs and trained up a staircase,
thus forming a mass of green foliage
from the hall below to the floor above.
Planted in a box, and run over a low
trellis, it makes a lovely window screen
even In towns; used in any way, as
fancy directs, lei unexcelled as a house
plant.-The Gardener.

CHLoRAL HIDRATE IN NEURALGIA
The intimate mixture of equal parts OF
choral hidrate and camphor will, 1t Is
said, produce a clear fluid which Is of
the greatest value as a local application
in neuralgia. DR.. Lenox Browne, states
in n of the English medical journals,
that he has employed it In his practice,
and induced others to do so, and that in
every case it has afforded great, and In
some instances, instantaneous relief.
Its success, he says, does not appear to
be at all dependent on the nerve af-
fected, it being equally eflcacious in
neuralgia of the sciatica as of the
trigeminus-is of the greatest service in
neuralgia of the larynx, and In relieving
spasmodic cough of a nervous or
hysteric character. 1t is only necessary
to paint the mixture lightly owe the
painful part, and to allow it to dry. 1t
never blisters, though 1t may occasion
d tingling sensation of the skin. For
headache 1t is also found an excellent
application.

Evening In Bucharest.

The sky this evening is Italian In
splendor; warm breezes rustic the
leaves, and birds sing pleasantly In lit
tie thickets in the parks before settling
themselves to sleep. Here and there
I'm courts or by the wall Of some old
gray church, groups Of girls listen 10
the wild, plaintiye music Of gypsy sing
ers, who are too lazy to work by day,
and who come out only when the sun
has gone in. Other groups, squatted
on the curbstones, or In the open lots
which are so numerous In Bucharest,
chat pleasantly among themselves. An
old Greek priest, passing along the
now half obscure street, meets a peas
ant, who humbly dOffs his Wallachian
hat and bows his head to receive the
blessing. The old man places his hands

SALT FOR CABBAGE.-A New Jersey
gardener considers salt necessary for
the development Of cabbage, especially
In places far from the coast. He finds
them more crisp, of better flavor, and
TO keep better when salt is used than
without. He uses 1t as follows: "a
few days after setting out the plants,
and when they are damp, either after a
rain or when the dew is on, / take a
small dish of fine salt and walking
among the rows sprinkle a little pinch
of salt on the centre of each plant when
the leaves begin to grow. l repeat the
sailing, and when the centre of the
leaves begin to form the head, L apply
salt again, scattering 1t over the leaves
after this / look them over occasionally
and If l find plants that do not head
we'll or appear diseased, | sprinkle the
salt over them freely; this will a V all
such plants. A quart of salt is sufti'
cient for five hundred plants In a sea
son, although more can be used Will

KNIFE SECURING PAN.-This is an i'm
proved pan for the convenient securing
of knives and forks; and it consists of a
sheet metal dish or pan with inclined
center plane or rest piece for the knives
and forks, and a front partition, pro-
viding a receptacle for the securing
powder. The securing powder is taken
up and applied directly to the knife or
fork, bringing always a fresh quantity
in contact with the same as the spent
powder is dropped from the rest piece
into the space at both sides of the same.
The inventor claims that the securing
of knives and forks Is by this pan &C
complished in a neater and more con-
venient manner, the pan forming
clean and readily available device for
that purpose.

archbishop rise from his seat, and still
more startled to hear him exclaim, In a
dismal and sepulchral tone, at has

"What has come, your Gracef"

different parts Of the table.
"What / have been expecting for
twenty years." solemnly answered the
archbishop-''a stroke of paralysis. j

twenty minutes, and find myself en-

Dyspepsia. Dyspepsia. Dyspepsia

Dyspepsia is the most perplexing OF all hui
man ailments. Its symptoms are almost IN
finite in their variety, and the forlorn and de-
spondent victims of the disease often fancy
themselves the prey in turn of every known
malady. This Is due, in part, to the close
sympathy which exists between the stomach
and the brain, and in part also to the fact that
anv disturbance Of the digestive function
necessarily disorders the liver, the bowels and
the nervous system, and effects to some ex-
tent, the quality Of the blood.
