There is no civilized nation in the
Western Hemisphere in which the
utility Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
as a tonic, corrective, and anti-bilous
medicine, is not known and apprecia-

seasons and all climates, it is esp ecially
suited to the complaints generated by
the weather, being the purest and best

How Chickens get out of Shells.

An observer says: "Take an egg
out of nest on which hen has had
her full time, carefully holding it to
the ear; turning it round, you will
find the exact spot which the little
fellow is picking on the inside of the
shell; this he will do until the inside
shell is perforated, and then the shell
is forced outward as a small scale,
leaving hole. Now, if you will take
one of the eggs in this condition from
under the hen, remove it to the house
or other suitable place, put it in box
or nest, keeping it warm and moist, as
near the temperature of the hen as
possible (which may be done by laying
it between two bottles of warm water
upon some cotton or woo), and lay
a glass over the box or nest, then you
can sit or stand, as is most conven-
lent, and witness the true modus
operandi. Now watch the little fell
low work his way into the world, and
you will be amused and instructed.
After he has got his opening, he COM
mences a nibbling motion with the
point of the upper bill on the outside
of the shell, always working to the
right (if you have the large end of the
egg from you and the hole upward) +,
until he has worked his way almost
around, say with one-half of an inch
in a perfect circle; he then forces the
cap or butt end of the shell off, and
then has a chance to straighten his
neck, thereby loosening his legs some
what, and SO, by their help, forcing
the body from the she'll"

Soda for Burns.

All kinds Of burns, including scalds
and sunburns, are almost Immediately
relieved by the application of solu-
ton Of soda to the burnt surface. 1t
must be remembered that dry soda
will not do unless it is surrounded
with cloth moist enough to dissolve
it. This method of sprinkling it on
and covering it with wet cloth is
often the very best. But it is sufficient
to wash the wound repeatedly with a
strong solution. 1t would be well to
keep bottle Of it always on hand,
made so strong that more or less set
ties on the bottom. This is what is
called a saturated solution, and really
such solution as this is formed when
the dry soda is sprinkled on and COW
cred with a moistened cloth. 1t is
thought by some that the pain of a
burn is caused by the hardening of
the albumen Of the flesh which presses
on the nerves, and that the soda dis
solves the albumen and relieves the
pressure. Others think that the burn
generates an acrid acid, which the
soda neutralizes.- Scientific american.

INAUGURAL ODE.
March 4th. 1SS1.)
BY E. j. WHEELER.

Oh! not a crown of burnish gold
And jewels rare we offer thee;
No scepter such as kings ofold
Graspsd eagerly.
A nobler diadem we bring.
And worthier far the wise and just,
Than ever graced the browsof king
nations trust.
To thee no suppliant bows the head,
Or courtiers fall on servile knees;
Thy pathway hither has not led
Through bloody seas.
Thou leav'st behind no ranking smart,
The witness of tyrants guilt;
But in thy countrys grateful heart
Thy throne is built.
We give to thee no birthright DOVER
Reward of nothing but name;
No honor wrested by the power
OF Wars fierce flame;
No title sounding o'er the land,
No pomp to make but fools rejoice:
To lead her people thou dost stand
As Freedoms choice.
Four years-if Freedoms God may please
Thy hand nations bark must guide.
Ali who may tell what stormy
Ere then betfde?
But well we know full strong thy hand
To grasp the helm through tempest's blast,
Nor fear thy skill may not command
To peace at last.

AFTER an enthusiastic lover spends
two hours hard labor over a letter to
his girl, and then mars its beauty by
spilling a drop of ink on it, he first
swears in a scientific manner for few
minutes, and then draws a circle round
the blot and tells her it is kiss; and
she, poor thing, believes it.

The Abolition OF PeteIcoats.

It would appear that the doctrine Of Wo-
mans emancipation from the trammels Of
feminine dress, promulgated some time ago
with considerable yigor by strong minded
ladies in the United States, has recently been
enthusiastically adopted by an association of
German matrons and maidens, which, under
the significant title Of sClothing League for
the Abolition Of Petticoats, recently held
its first public meeting in a concert room of
the Brennen-strasse, Berlin. A chairman
having been duly elected, the proceedings
were opened by IN eloquent speech setting
forth the inconvenience and disadvan tages
from q sanitary point Of view, Of the flowing
garments hitherto deemed appropriate wear
ing apparel for civilized females. This dis
course pronounced it to be the sacred duty Of
every member of the association to discard
with the utmost promptitude such objections
able raiment typical of all the disabilities
%wrongfully ascribed to woman by her OPP
pressor-man-and to assume in its stead q
s'dualistic form Of covering for the legs as
well as for the arms This daring pro-
gramme of action was hailed with acclama-
tons of approval by all present save one,
s Frau Peters, who cOurage0usly stood up
for the denounced petticoat, upon the ground
that it was far more becoming than trousers
to members Of the female SEX. Her protest
ing voice, however, was drowned il q storm
of indignant clamor, and 8 resolution embod-
| wing the sentiments previously enunc5ated by
the chairwoman was passed by an over
whelming maj ority of the fair leaguers.

IN q RNrry.

a feud has existed for years between the
Curtiss and Davis families. who live il the
same neighborhood, near Maquoketa, Iowa.
But as there was 8 Juliet in the Davis fami-
ly, so there was a Romeo in the House Of
Curtiss. Romeo, or Ben, and Juliet, or in
matter OF fact, met at church clandestinely,
went sleighing together on moonlight nights,
and last winter elOped. Arrived at Dubuque,
bound West in search Of a new world, The
lovers were overtaken by the girls father,
who forcibly took his daughter back home.
Fair Matilda was kept a prisoner in her faith
er's house until the other day, when she at
tanned her majority. In the middle Of the
morning she saw achance to escape, and run
bonnetless to the woods, through which she
made her way towards the Curtiss farm
house, several miles distant. Her gown was
torn by briers, and she was forced to remove
her shoes to wade through streams, but she
pushed on and found her lover at work in q
field about / O'Clock. Young Curtiss seut
his younger brother for Justice Henry, at
Manquoketa, and when the latter arrived the
bride and groom were sitting on a fallen oak
ia a roadside grove. Judge Henry began to
twit the young couple about the romantic
surroundings, when the bride exclaimed:
"Hurry up, Squire, fathers coming"
tRushit, judge" shouted the groom.
Justice henry looked up the road and saw
the brides father riding down on the party
at q furious speed. The old man was roll
ing along like a summer evening thunder
storm, and Justice Henry hurriedly placed
the lovers under the umbrella, %"unitiDg

swords as the law allows"

When the M. & St. P reached the switch they found their way blocked by engines of the N. W. which stood there night and day with steam
