Planting EsuIsoas Roo,.-

There is no one class of cur ornamental
garden plants so truly beautiful, or a
class so easily cultivated or that will
furnish so glorious an array of celors and
so wide spread fragrance as the "buIb-
on- family, and these should be planted
~ carly now as possible; if planted in
No yember here they will come into bloom
with the opening year, as the brightest,
sweetest and most fragrant heralds OF
that happy holiday season. Those who
are about to plant these choice gems of
Flora should bear in mind that The soil
sho1'd, be very fine, rich and deep, and
not too heavy or wet, but sandy it is
always best TO classify them in height
so as to form groups and figures; this can
be done by little tasteful labor.

A Horrible Sacrifice.

A few months ago Russian peasant
with his wife and four children. while
travelling in sleigh along the banks of
the Pruth, were pursued by a pack OF
wolves. The peasant urged or the
horses, but soon saw that the wolves
were gaining upon him. Atthe moment
when the sleigh was surrounded bv the
ravenOus beasts, the man seized one of
the children, threw it in the midst of
them, and while the wolves were struo-
Cling over their prey, he fastened to his
horses and gained ground Four times
the wolves came up with the fugitives.
and four times the horrible sacrifice was
repeated. At last the peasant and his
wife arrived at the nearest village, Ieav-
ing behind them the bones of their four
children. In the bitterness OF herdespair
the mother informed against her husband
but the judges, considering that if the
peasant had not resigned himself to the
horrible sacrifice, he would not only
have lost his children, but also his wife,
acquitted the prisoner

Military Use of the Telephone.

Experiments are being carried on in
Prussia, by order of the German military
authorities, to determine how far it NAV
be practicable to employ the telephone
tor military purposes. One of the new
instruments has been arranged by the
railway regiment ON the exercising
ground near Berlin; but, as vet. the
results obtained have not been altogether
satisfactory. With the stations only q
lew thousand PAGES apart it is found ex-
tremely difficult, and at times when the
conditions are unfavorabfe altogether i'm
possible to carry on conversation. 1t
Is expected, however, that when some
suggested improvements in the appsratus
have been carried out, the telephone will
work In much more satisfactory man.
ner, and will become of great value for
many military purposes. One OF the
obs acles to the more extended employ-
ment of the feld-telegraph in actual war
has always been the difficulty eff instruct
ing men in the manipulation of the
instruments, and of giving them sufficient
practice to render them expert in read
ing or sending messages. The telephone.
he"eyer, once set up, can be used BY any
one without any preliminary training /;
and therefore it is easy to conceive almost
any AuAooIso cases IN which 1t would
be found extremely useful in the conduct
of the operations of war. In many
instances, however, it will still be de-
s rable that the messages sent should be
written by the instr Iment employed !:
and therefore the German military
authorities are now endeavoring to ar
range an apparatus which shall be able
to be used at pleasure either as a tele-
phone or as a Morse's printing instru-
ment, and which at the same time shall
be compact, portable and not easily liable
to derangement.-PaU Mall Gazette.

Regular secretion Essential to Health.

The regular secretion and flow of the gas
trio juices and of the bile, which the use of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters promotes, are
effects which conduce materially TO the
restoration of health, when the system is
disordered. Food is not digested in the
dyspeptic stomach because the gastric fluid
is deficient, superabundant or vitiated; the
liver becomes congested and the bowels
constipated because the supply of bile is
inadequate or misdirected. The Bitters
rectifes all this, and removes every i'll conse-
quence of non-assimilation and bilious irreg-
ularity. Furthermore, it stimulates the
action of the kidneys, by which impurities
are, so to speak. strained from the blood and
any tendency in the urinary organs to grow
sluggish and disordered counteracted.
Whether it be used as a means of regulat-
ing gastric or bilious secretion, and reliev-
ing the overloaded bowels, or to promote
complete, and therefore healthful, urinstion,
Hostetter's Bitters may be relied upon with
confidence to accomplish the end in view.

down to us in good preservation, because
it lay buried up for fifteen centuries.
AS Sipontum survived to the middle
ages, if there be any considerable relics
Of it yet remaining, they must be con-
nected with its earlier history. Further
Investigations, however, will remove all
doubt on this subject. In the Tuscan
maremme several of the old Etruscan
cities have been found beneath the
marshy soil, and others are known to be
lying there to this day. In this age of
archaeological discoveries and geograph-
ical exploration we are adding greatly to
our knowledge of the antiquity of man,
of ancient civilization, and of the mystic
ries of nature.-Ph,Ladelphia Press.

Farmine In the south west.

On this subject correspondent of the
Country Gentleman writes, and what he
says being applicable to many OF our
readers, we copy:
The great expense in getting south
western produce to market, can only be
obviated by growing such crops az can
be fed at home; consequently grass,
which nature provides in such abundance
aud of such fine quality, should stand
first, for 1T will grow beet, mutton, butter
or wool; and by ascertaining which
brings the most money comparatively, it
is easy to produces only that which is the
most profitable. Beef aud mutton NAV
cost nearly fifty per cent. to reach the
best market, butter and wool not more
than five per cent; in which case, let
other people fatten your COWS and your
sheep, after they have answered your
purpose in producing butter aud wool.
A farm should be entirely selfsustainipp

System which would give much to sell
and positively nothing 10 buy.
If the stock consists of forty dairy
COWS, ten yearling heifers, and ten heiier
calves under one year old, which could
be raised from the best milking COWS in
the herd, this plan of proceeding would
give an average of two hundred pounds
of butter per week, tor by having them
come in at different times of the year and
always cOntriving to have grass left TOR
winter. and growing some corn TO help
through the cold weather, the average of
five pounds per COW per week the year
round would not be too high in a well
managed farm. There would be ten
COWS each year for sale, whics could be
sold for Others to tatten. The same
course should be taken with sheep; lif
lambs sell well when fat, sell ali the
wethers; if not, raise them, and shear
!, once or twice, as it is found they pay
best. AT any rate, if two hundred ewes
were kept rs a regular flock, there would
be nearly two hundred sheep to sell every
year, and there would be four hundred

Careless Farmers.

1t is almost impossible for a careless
farmer to be prosperous. How often 10
we hear of some unexpected failure in
the commercial world? We look for the
cause of this disaster, and we find that
the merchant was engaged in unprofit-
able trade, or perhaps some faithless
clerk has robbed his master The failure
is due To any one O. a dozen causes
which proper oversight might have
corrected. When the merchant has real
lied the ambitious dreams of his earlier
mercantile career, he neglects those
habits of business which insured his
success, and failure is the result. And it
IL the same in any business or occupation.
But with an unsuccessful farmer lack O,
success is still more directly traceabe to
caretessness of the man himself. Care

Latest From the Scene.

Halifax, Jan. 16.-Latest adyices
from the scene of the railroad disaster
of last night, and from places where
the wounded were taken, place the
number of dead at 13. 1t is possible
that more may be found in the wreck.
The bridge is elevated about 10 feet
above the river at the present stage of
water, and is approached from the east
by an embankment and from the west
by long trestle work across the mea-
dows. The first locomotive had cleared
the west span and had entered upon
the trestle work when the entire span
gave away, breaking off Immediately
east Of the heavy stone pier in the
centre of the river. As the structure
gave way the first engine was hurled
violently over, imbedded. in the ground
and completely wrecked. The other
engine and baggage car went down
with the wreck in an upright position,
and the side of the heavy truss fell
over upon them. The first passenger
car was whirled around and sank to
the bottom of the river, lying nearly
parallel with the stream. The second
passenger car went down end foremost
upon the first car, smashing the largest
portion of it into kindling wood, the
rear end resting upon the bridge. The
next car occupied a similar position,
but swerved to the left and did not
rest upon the car in front. None of
the remaining coaches left the track.
The crash and the cries of the wound
ed and dying speedily brought assist
ance, but the first corners worked at
great disadvantage. The cars had
broken through the ice, which made it
difficult to approach near enough to
reach the passengers.
The scenes on the relief train were
heartrending. In every car were men
and women with heads bandaged OF
arms in sings. Some had been terribly
scalded. In one passenger car we're the
bodies of three women, and in the bag
gage car two more, just as they had
! been taken from the wreck. Rev. Mr.
