The Educated Young Lady.

What better Is she for education ifshe
persists in Stiffness, and loudness and
obtrusive manners. Her researches
among the treasures of science, and IA
miliarity with the thoughts of genius,
are of no value If they cannot furnish
her with subjects for conversation mor
mighty than the gossip of society, the
scandal of the day, and the probable in
tentions of young men who never had
an intention in their lives, and are not
capable of one until their brains ac-
quire more solidity. Her artistic ac-
complishments are absolutely worthless
unless they teach her how to beautify
and adorn her home, how to distinguish
the false from the true, how to be in
her own person an embodiment of that
grace, and purity and chaste beauty,
which the world worships in the mar
BILE and canvas of the old masters; UNI
less they teach her a radical adherence
of all the hideous distortions o ffashion (;
of outward show, with inward untidi-
ness; to tawdry ornaments, obtrusive
iinery, and unclean trailing tatters. OF
what avail is it that she knows every
law Of her own body, and can trace for
you with scientific accuracy the work
ing of every organ, and the linked
steps of each wonderful process of life,
if she lives in daily violation of them
all; laying a murderous hand upon re-
spiration and circulation, lunching at
midnight upon fruit, cake and pickles,
and dreaming unutterable things in a
room with all the windows hermeti
cally sealed?

two drops of this solution added to

If the liquid is acid it becomes opale-

One drop of dilute soda lye or acid is
more than sufficient to cause the change

Adulterdtion Of Cinnamon and Pepper
The analyses undertaken by the Berlin
police authorities have shown that Gin
namon contains on an average about l6
per cent. of mineral matter, principally
iron ochre, and besides a considerable
quantity of Indian meal, mixed with
the poorest bark, perhaps already en-
ployed for the extraction Of the oil-of-
cassia; SO that the whole spice represents
but a small quantity of pure material.
The examination of pepper showed that
about 20 per cent, of it was sand, clay,
bone-dust, and even wood. The adul-
teration of Pepper by means of the meal
of palm seed is so universal as scarce to
deserve mention.

A Campaign SANDER,

When DIR. R v. Pierce was q candid ate for
State Senator, his political opponents pub
lished q pretended analysis Of his popular
medicines, hoping thereby TO p ejud,ce the
people against hum. His election by an over
whe, ming majority severely rebuked his ira
ducers, who sought to impeach his business
integrity. No notice would have been taken
OF these campaign lies were it not that some
OF his enemies (and every successful business
man has his full quota Of envious rivals) are
republishing these bogus analyses. Numerous
and most absurd formulas have been published,
purporting to come from high author y ; and
1t 10 q significant fact thai no two have been
Extraordinarily proving the dishonesty OF
their authors.
The following 10 from the Buffalo CONNER
cidL OF Oct 23d, 1877:
Hardly a dozen years ago he [Dr. Pierce, came
here, u young and unknown man, almost friendless,
with no capital except his own, manhood, which,
however, included plenty OF brains and pluck, In
Capital enough for any young man, in this ,progres.
sive country II only he has good health and habits az
one thing more, a good education. lie had studied
medicine and been regularly licensed 10 practice as a
t%igation and experiment. He discovered, or invented,
important remedial agencies or COMPOUNDS. NOT
choosing to wait WEAKLY Ior t MI s ,Ssm ahd dha utnSSr s essui "a
do them good, he advertised his medicines and invited
the whole profession, Of every school, to examine and
tiscd literally, p%rolusely, but, with extraordinary
~shrewdness, and with u method which Is In Itself n
lesson to ali who seek business by. that perfectly
legitimate means. His success has been eomethlng
maryelous-so great indeed that must be due 70 in
trinsic merit In the articles he sells more even than to
his unparalleled skill In the use OF printers ink. The
present writer once asked a distinguished dispensing
druggist TO explain the secret Of the almost universal
demand for Dr. Pierce's medicines. He said they
were In fact genuine medicines such compounds AS
every good physician would prescribe Tor the diseases
which thOy were advertised to cure. OF course, they
cost less than any druggist would charge for the same
article supplied on a physicians prescription, and
besides there was the doctors fee saved. Moreover,
buying the drugs in such enormou quantities., nav
ing perfect apparatus for purifying and ooinpounding
the mixture, he could not only. get better articles In
tho first place, but present tho medicine IN, better
form and cheaper than the same mixture could pos
sibly be obtained from any other source.
Itmay be thought that all this having. reference 10
Dr.. Pierces private business has no point whatever
when considered In connection with the proper quail
fcntions Of a candidate for. the Senate. Perhaps.
But IL iB the fashion now, and Will be for a fortnight
more, with sundry journals, TO make %sneering allu-
sions 10 this very matter. After that brief period,
they will be quite ready 10 60 on doing his work as
before, aud as always before, to speak Of him as a
great public benefaotor."

SOWING SEEDs.-Ihe proper distribu-
ton of seed in sowing is quite impor-
tant, and there are few who can do 1t
Just right. Machines have been In
vented for the purpose, and many of
them do the work more evenly than 1t
can possibly be done by hand. Some
seeds, from their peculiar formation,
have to be sown by hand. 1t is a diff
ficult matter TO give directions for SOW
ing seeds, and to say how much Is re-
quired 10 the acre. Much depends upon
the season, and also upon the freshness
of the scotland even seed known to be
new may be deficient in terminating
properties. The best rule is when SOW
ing in lows, to be governed by the
character Of the seed and relative
strength of the young plants; for in
stance, Garrett, parsnip and some others
have light seed, and the young plants
are feeble. Such should be sown
thickly and afterwards be thinned out.
Other plants, such as cucumbers,
melons, etc, are liable to be attacked by
bugs, and 1t is well to make some allow
ance on this account. Most heavy seeds
can be sown thin, especially If broad
cast, the chances being that they VIII
DO o'thick if sown by inexperienced
hands. Take, for example, the seed of
the fiat turnip, one pound of which will
measure but little more than a pint,
and SOW an acre of land, but it requires
a very nice calculation to get the seed
evenly distributed and make such a
small quantity cover so much ground.
Seeds sown by machine may be regu-
lated by sowing first on a cloth or floor,
and setting the gauge to the proper
grade. Some seeds are variable in slze;
such should be divided by sitting, and
if sOwn by machine put in separately.
1t is advisable to always SOW as soon as
the ground is prepared, while the sur
face soil is still fresh and moist, and
when covered by raking always draw
the rake lengthwise with the rows.
Very fine seed must not be covered too
deep,

CosTIvEsEss IN CHMDRRs.-Bread
and milk, though excellent for children
In general, Ia not as good food for a
cOstive child as bread made OF corn
meal or Graham -four. Wheat bread Is
not good for a very costive child. When
medicine becomes necessary, a teaspoon
full Of magnesia dissolved In sweetened
milk or water, and given morning and
night, until the bowels become regular,
IL usually sufficient. Purgatiyes should
be carefully avoided, except for a dis
ordered stomach, and then they become
necessary. Well ventilated sleeping

than most people suppose, toward keep

child will be, and the reverse. There

CHEAP AND SIMPLE VENTILATION
Nail OF screw a neat strip Of wood, from
one to two inches high, upon the win
dow sill, just inside of the sash and ex-
tending entirely across from m side of
the window frame to the other. Upon
the top of this strip fasten a piece OF
ordinary "weather strip" so that there
will be formed an air-tight joint between
the "weather strip" and the lower sash
of the window, whether the latter is
shut down tight or raised an inch or
two, the lower cross. piece of the sash
sliding on the rubber of the "weather
strip" as the sash rises. With this
simple fixture in place, the lower sash
may be raised enough to admit a stream
Of air between the lower and upper
sashes, where they lap over each other
at the middle of the window, without
admitting the least air at the window
sill. The air admitted between the
sashes is thrown directly up toward the
ceiling, and there mixes with the heated
air at the upper part of the room. The
room Is thereby ventilated in a thorough
and agreeable manner without drafts of
cold air upon the persons in the room.
The fixture should be applied to several
