SALT. SULPHUR AND CHARCOAL FOR
PIGs.-We have observed that when
pigs are fed great deal of hearty food,
they are fond Of salt and charcoal. Pigs
are often affected with indigestion, and
the salt and charcoal are good remedies.
We can not very well mix these things
with their food in the right proportion,
and. moreover. il would not he best to
attempt to force pig To eat them unless
il wanted Ia, or else its appetite might
be destroyed and harm come from the
experiment; but by mixing the salt and
charcoal together, and putting them in
4 box accessible to the pigs, they will
ca; no more than they require. There
j. no danger in putting either salt. char
coal or sulphur, where the pigs can get
them, but 10 mix them in their food
might injure them, especially if any one
Of them should possess "A voracions APP

Look Here, Young Man.

An exchange remarks Nowadays
there is too much of disposition upon
the part of young men to run to the
towns and cities in the land. We advise
every young man, who has a home in
the country, to stay there. Don't help
to overcrowd the city. City life is a hard
life, especially at the present time, when
for every vacant situation there are half
a dozen applicants. One out of a hum
dred in a city may be able to lay up a
little money, and n out of two thou
sand may become wealthy; a small por-
ton will live in comparatively comforta-
BILE circumstances; the rest, even if they
get and keep constant employment, are
drudges, who work hard, get poor pay,
beside being condemned to unwholesome
diet, and to breathe foul air. In the
country very few men have an excuse for
being wretchedly poor. The nation would
be richer, happier and better if the ex-
cess of the population in the cities would
remove to fertile farms, of which there are
an abundance, and engage in tilling the
soil. 1t is an occupation quite as honor
able as selling dry goods, and far more
desirable than the drudgery or confine-
ment of city life, that wears out the body
before old age comes, and offers no ade-
quate wages to sustain life in return. II
you are wise, you will not desert the
country.

THE Great Boom"

Eighteen hundred and seventy-nine will long be
remembered as the time when. all kinds of bust
ness and financial prosperity seemed to spring
into new life. MERCHANTS are finding plenty Of
ready customers for their wares, mechanics meet
with ready employment at fair wages, and the
farmers are receiving advanced prices for their
products, and 1t is acknowledged by all that in no
part of our country are the evidences of prosper
ity and comfort so marked as along the entire
line of the sold Reliable" Hannibal d st Joseph
Railroad. And to attain these results the man
aeemedf Of the Hannibal & st Joseph Railroad
have given their careful thought and attention,
and the rapid growth of business, and increasing
wealth OF the community along the whole line are
evidences that their efforts are fully appreciated.
We are, as usual, running In, connection with the
Chicago, Burlington &iQuincy Railroad through
Day Coaches, Reclining Chairs (free,) and Pull
man Sleeping Cars from Chicago via Quincy TO
Missouri river points. Also through Day Coaches
from Toledo and indianapolis, with Pullman sleep
Ing Cars from Toledo via Danville, Springfield
and Quincy, to Kansas City, Atchison and st.
Joseph without change. Families travelling with
children will find it greatly TO their comfort to
take the "old Reliable H. &. st. 10. R. R, as no

Few bonnets are made entirely of vel
vet.
Side-sachels Of seal-skin are among
novelties in furs.
Pure white trimmings are again used
on black bonnets.
Never. have opera cloaks been hand
somer than this winter.
Feather trimmings are much used for
o~rnamenting evening dresses.
Fichus are worn with all costumes, and
are in a variety Of shapes and materials.
Handsome wraps are made Of Valley
cashmere and also of the Delhi CASH
mere.
All furry-looking hats and bonnets,
such+as those made of beaver, are fash
ionable.
The Dolman mantle are the visite, and
the approved wraps in the elegant toilet
for visiting.
Ladies in mourning edge their lace
handkerchiefs with black thread lace in
stead of white.
Mink cloaks are again shown as fash
ionable garments. This fur is especially
liked by elderly ladies. .
Fur borderings will be much worn this
winter, especially on the cloth suits that
necessarily have little other trimming.
The novelty for the head is the toque,
which is really a hat, but is worn as a
bonnet, with strings or without, accord
ing to fancy.
Some of the newest cloth suits have a
wide band of fur around the bottom of
the underskirt. Avery narrow plating
is all that shows below it.
A new and pretty trimming for a cos
tune is made by braiding ribbons in
three or four strands. The pretty Persian
ribbons braided in this manner are very
stylish.
Velvet, embroidered in sets compris-
ing vests, cuffs, collar and pocket-faps,
is shown for handsome costumes. Satin,
embroidered in the same manner, is
shown also.
The black velvet bonnets that never
lose favor with ladies of conservative
tastes are enriched this winter by gay
colored cashmere lace laid over old-gold
or white satin Innings.
Black satin dresses have Jet trimmings
that almost cover the front breadths,
while the full train has for ornament two
long sash pieces, made of satin doubled
and caught at the end, where it is finish.

against fraudulent issues, lost, or stolen

structed to ticket passengers by most
direct routes to destination, and in nc

The chronological Journal, for De-
cember has been received, and is a cap
ital number. We have SO often spoke OF
the excellency Of this popular periodical
in the columns of the DEMOCRAT, that we
hardly deem it necessary to say a word
in its praise at the close of the year 1879.
No one that will readits well filed pages
of sound, practical and scientific articles
for one year, will do without it, and espe-
cially when it is now furnished for the
small sum of 80 per annum, not half its
worth. The new year commences with
the January number, and we advise all
who are able to send and try it n year.

A Word to Travellers.

As the best proof of the pudding is
the eating, so the best indication of a
popular route is its patronage. The
enviable reputation of the popular Pam
Handle and Pennsylvania Line, is JUS
titled by the speed of lis trains, the
smoothness of its steel rails, its free
dom from dust and cinders, its luxuri-
GUS day, sleeping, parlor, and hotel
coaches, fully equipped with every ap-
pliance necessary to insure comfort and
safety. In reply to inquiries, our read
ers are assured, that through tickets
via Panhandle and Pennsy lvania
Line, a be purchased at all principal
ticket offices in the country, and tray
elers car crafty the desire to ~patronize
the most perfectly constructed and best
managed railroad in the world by pur-
chasing ticke:s via Panhandle and
Pennsylvania Line.

In our fret experience as Financial Manager OF
the Mt. Carroll Seminary, 1t devolved upon rs to
purchase Pianos for use of the school. in which
transaction we became cognizant of the swindIe.
1--WE cannot call it by a milder mel, practiced
upon the public In the sale ofinstruments. We at
once resolved TO correct the wrong, so far as I'M
our power, and at the same time su0serve our
own interest In encouraging the study of Emusic,
by making It comparatively easy for our pupils
and patrons to secure Instruments. To this end,
we offered to furnish Pianos, ETC., to our music
pupils at cost" to us. Thus began q trade that
has become so extensive as TO embrace all classes
as our customers. extending as it does from New
HAMPSHIRE to California and even to Japan.
With the amount ofsales made, our facilities
have increased till we command any make In the
country, and the very lowest trade prices. We do
not now sell at cost but we sell at Wholesale
prices to any and all persons ever in any way con-
nected with the school, and this gives great Lar
gains to purchasers, leaving q re sonable morgin
Of profits to us. To those newer patrons of this In
stitution. we can give discounts from manufac-
turers'lists offs to so per cent. Instruments are
all sent directly from the mandatory, hence
