KNOWLEDGE IS POWER,

eN= ~Nss .,@ "
 This is n nation .tof .enIighteneds free men. Education is the cornerstone and foundation of our government. The peo- pie are free to think and act for them selves, and that they may act wisely it is necessary that they be we'll informed. Every individual gam increases public gain.- Upon the health of the people is based the prosperity of the nation by it every value is increased. every joy enhan- ced. Health is essential to the accomplish ment of every purpose; while sickness thwarts the best intentions and loftiest aims. Unto us are committed important health trusts, which we hold not merely in our own behalf but for the ben- eft of others. In order that VIC may be able to discharge the obligations of our trusteeship and thus prove worthy of onr generous commission, 1t is necessary that we study the art of preserving health and prolonging life. It is of paramount im- portance to every person not only to m. derstand the means for the preservation of health, but also to knowwhat remedies should be employed in the alleviation of the common ailments of life. Not that we would advise every man under all cir cumstances to attempt to be his own phv- sician; but we entreat hlm to acquire suffi- cient knowledge of his system and the that govern it, that he may be. pre-. pared to take care of himself properly, and thereby prevent sickness and pro- long life. In no text book will the people find the subjects of fphyiology and hygiene or the science of life and the art of pre- serving health. more scientifically discuss ed or more plainly taught than in the ''People's Common, Sense Medical Ad- wiser, by R.

THE RUSSIAN SABLE.-The most fashion able and costly of all furs is the Russian sable, the skin of the .Mustela sibelIina, which is' about three or four times as large as the common weasel, to which family it belongs. A choice skin of the sea-otter or the black fox may command 8 higher price than one of the Russian sable; but the cost of the latter will be relatively greater on account of it's small CT size. The fur of the Russian sable is brown in summer. with some gray spots on the head, and may be distinguish ed from all other furs by the hairs turning and lying equally well in any direction. In winter, when the animal is usually talk en, the color of the fur is beautiful black. The darkest skins are the most valuable. In it's natural condition, the fur has bloomy appearance; but sables generally lose their gloss, and the hairs become twisted or crisped. Sometimes the skins are blackened by being smoked, but the deception is exposed by the smell and the crisped hairs A dyed or smoked fur may be detected by rubbing it with moist linen cloth, which will then become blackened. It IS said, however. that the Chinese dye the sables, and give them permanent color without destroying the gloss: in this case the fraud may be de- tected by the crsiped hairs. The best skins are obtained in Yakutsk, Kamtchat- ka; and Russian Lapland. Only about 20, 900 are annually taken, and these com mand extraordinary prices. the average price of a raw skin being about $25, while choice "crown" Russian sable will sell for $200 But few of these furs reach the English or American market. Tho chief demand, in Russia, where the use of the sable is monopolzed by the imperial fam fly and the nobility, by whom it is chiefly used for trimmings for civic robes, coats. etc. and Tor ladies sets.-Apple tons' American Cyctopgdia, revised edi- tiOn. article "Fur."
