Lank forms, hollow cheeks and lack-luster eyes plainly mark the debilitated. They show that the blood lacks richness and the frame vigor, that digestion and assimilation, twin functions, without the vigorous discharge of which there can be no such thing as stlmina, are disorder ed and weak. To ths feeble, in- firm and lean, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters specially commends itself Proofs, were such necessary might be multiplied ad infnitum, to show that waning vitality is but the preface to exhausting disease, and that, in order to in- terpose bulwark against the latter, vigor must be increased, not only by judicious nn- trition and the selection of easily assimilable articles of diet, but by removing that not easily surmounted obstacle to health-imper- feet digestion. For faulty digestion the Bitters is the most popular and amply tested of reme- dies, strengthening the stomach, fertilizing the blood and banishing every dysptp ic symptom. Moreover, it is a standard remedy for chills and fever, rheumatism, constipation and biIiousness.

ScOurs In a Horse.

In treating this difficulty most own- CTS of horses attempt to do too much Give your horse warm bran mash or two and warm water to drink, with a little oatmeal sprinkled in it. Very nervous horses, if excited at all, are very apt to SCOUT. For such animals all you can do is to keep them from getting excited. Over-driving is pro- life cause of securing, particularly if before you start upon your journey you allow your horse to drink large quan- tity of water after eating 8 heavy feed of hay and grain. It is also very un- wise to commence dosing an animal under such circumstances. Let him have rest and quiet for few days, al- lowing nature to assert itself in cure. New hay and grain fed to horses are no doubt cause of securing at this sea- son of the year, and also the sudden changes occasioned by heating and cooling, since people driving horses at this season of the year are apt to think there is no need of blankets; yet they drive fast, pull up and make long stops, fancy it is warm night, and that the horse will take no harm if not blanketed. As con- sequence the horse is soon found to be securing, and, strange to say, the driver often appears ignorant of the cause, failing to realize the risk attending the exposure of the previous night. Horses rarely have the SCOUTS in winter, al- though they may eat apples. carrots or raw potatoes while horses kept on dry hay and grain through the summer are perhaps just as likely to suffer from SCOUTS as those which are allowed to eat little grass for few hours each day. A horse should not be permitted to in
 dulge in hearty meal of grass when first turned out in the field. Half an hours feeding the first time would be sufficient; then increase the allowance of time each day up to two or three hours. This wiH keep the animals in good condition and they will rarely SCOUT when so fed. After few days it would not hurt your horse to allow il to feed half an hour in some nice fresh rowen, gradually increasing the allow ance.-Amaerican Cuti01tOr.

Get Health.

No labor, pains, temperance, poverty nor exercise that can gain it must be grudged. For sickness is a cannibal which eats up all the life and youth it can lay hold of, and absorbs it's own sons and daughters. | figure it as a pale, wailing, distracted phantom, ab- solutely selfish, needless of what is good and great, attentive to it's sensa- tions, losing it's soul and afdicting other souls with meanness and moping, and with ministration to it's voracity of trifes. Rr. Johnson said, severely: "Every man is rascal as soon as he is sick" Drop the cant and treat it sanely, In dealing with the drunken, we do not affect to be drunk. We must treat the sick with the same frmness, giving them, of course, every aid-but withholding our selves. And the best pant of health is fine disposition It is more essential than talent, even in the works of talent Nothing will supply the want of sum- shine to peaches, and to make knowl edge valuable you must have the chee . fitness of wisdom. Whenever you are sincerely pleased you are nourished. The joy of the spirit indicates its strength. All healthy things are sweet tempered. It is observed that depres- sion of spirits develops the germs of a plague in individuals and nations.-

WhiStling Birds.

Dealers class whistling birds as pro- ficient or not proficient. To the first class belong those that whistle several tunes, or one tune very we'll, and in the second class are birds tkat can whistle only fraction of tune. Out of fifty birds, about forty are proficient, and abut two-thirds of these can whistle two melodies. These birds abound in Hesse and Saxony, where they are taught by tailors, shoemakers and weavers, whose occupation keep them indoors. The teaching begins from the time they are strong enough to be taken from the nest. The tune they are to learn is whistled to them several times day, particularly in the morning and evening-whistling is preferred, as in- struments are too shrill. The birds should always hear the tune in the same key, and no other tune should be played or whistled in their hearing az long as they are learning. The time in l which they master melody varies from four to six months. They will almost at all times pipe their tune at the com mand Ia nod or word) of the person who feeds them, and only for him, so it is important that they should always be fed by the same person. When piping. they move their heads, and sometimes sway the body to and fro and spread out the tail like fan.

Children in Lapland.

The operation of dressing in cold weather in the far North is so elaborate that it is difficult to understand how 8 deliberate boy or girl in Lapland can be ready for breakfast before dinner time. First two suits of thick woolen underclothing are put on, and over these goes shirt of reindeer-skin, with cloth bands to fasten at the wrists; sometimes two of these shirts, or kap- tas, are worn, and reindeer-skin vest beneath them. The trousers are of reindeer-skin also. Two pairs of heavy woolen stockings are worn, and the child who puts sthese on when they are damp is sure to have trouble with his feet. Around the feet 8 peculiar grass, we'll dried, is carefully wound, and ever all this goes the shoe. Buttons and hooks and eyes are scarce in Lapland; all clothing is fastened by strings, and it is dreadful to think of all the "hard knots " that Lapp children have fumbled over while too sleepy to be amiable.
 One special distinction is enjoyed by the Lapp boy and girl over all other children in the world; each is sure of owning a reindeer if the family live in the reindeer region. When 8 child is born, a deer is set apart for him at once, and by the time the pride of the family is old enough to drive, his ani- nal will have been trained for him. How much time and trouble this train ing has cost, the boy never can realize until lie becomes man, and breaks dear to harness himself. It would seem to any sensible person that as the harness consists only of thong tor trace) and single rein, the animal might easily become accustomed to them, particu- larly as the sleigh has neither pole nor shafts; but the deer does not regard the subject in the same light. He forgets whatever he learns, just as if he were lazy schoolboy. Even after two years he seldom can be depended upon to do the right thing at the right time.- Harper's Young People.

Smallpox Cures.

A correspondent of the Stockton (Cal.) Herald gives the following as 8 smallpox specific:
 I herewith append recipe which has been used to my knowledge in hundreds of cases. It will prevent or cure the smallpox though the pittings are filled. When Jenner discovered cowpox in England the world of science hurled an avalanche of fame upon his head, but when the most scientific school of medi- cine in the world, that of Paris, pub- lished this recipe as panacea for smallpox it passed unheeded. It is as unfailing as fate, and conquers in every instance. It is harmless when taken by we'll person.. It will also cure scarlet fever; here it is as I have used it to cure the smallpox. When learned physicians said the patients must die it cured:
 Sulphate of zinc, one grain.
 Foxglove (digitalis), one grain.
 Half teaspoonful of sugar.
 Mix with two teaspoonfuls of water.
 When thoroughly mixed add four ounces of water. Take 8 teaspoonful every three hours. Either disease will disappear in twelve hours. For child a smaller dose, according to age. If counties would compel their physicians to use this there would be no need of pest-houses. If you value advice and experience use this for that terrible disease.
 A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette vouches for the efficacy of the fol- lowing treatment of smallpox: Take clean common barley, boil it in water the same as you would rice, until it bursts; pour off this water and use it ex- clusively for your drink, adding to each days drinking of this water fifteen grains of saltpeter. Continue to use this (which should be about milk warm) until the pocks make their appearance in the skin, which will be about three days after the fever sets in. The effect of using this drink is to cut off the blacking fever. Now stop the use of this drink, and take good wine reduced with water and sweetened with loaf sugar. Using this as drink-stimu- lates and fills the pocks. The use of wine, water and loaf sugar should always be commenced when the pocks make their appearance in the skin. Use no other medicine and partake of a light diet. This mode of treatment was prescribed by the celebrated Sur geon Dixon, of Ireland, and has been used in many cases with success in this country.

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
FatteninR Hogs.

Fattening is accomplished most prof itably as the cool weather of autumn advances, with good shelter and warm quarters in which to lie. The feeding place should be kept clean, and corn in the ear or shelled fed night and morn ing, as much as they will eat up clean, and slop of meal at noon with pure, clean water night and morning. The fatter they become the closer their quarters may be. In the early stages of fattening they need room for exer- else, with wheat bran, charcoal, and sulphur occasionally to keep them in condition and increase the size of bone and muscle, for when quite heavy they need only rest.

Grit.

The force of will is potent element in determining longevity. This single point must be granted without argu- ment, that of two men, every way alike and similarly circumstanced, the one who has the greater courage and grit will be the longer lived. One does not need to practice medicine long to learn that men die who might just as we'll live if they resolved to live, and that myriads who are invalids could become strong if they had the native or &C., quired will to VOW they would do so. Those who have no other quality favor able to life, whose bodily organs are nearly all diseased, to whom each day is day of pain, who are beset by life- shortening influences, yet do live by will alone.-Dr. George M. Beard.

Making Sheep Pay.

At convention of sheep-breeders and wool-growers, held at Philadelphia, one of the speakers said:
 I would say to the farmer, go on and manage your sheep in the way you can get the most money for their car casses, whether raising mutton or lambs, and let your wool take care of itself. You must regard your sheep as ma chimes for converting grass, roots and grain, in the shortest possible time, into mutton, with wool as 8 mere in- cident. By making your sheep fat in the shortest possible time = which you can do best with the Eng fish races-and killing them as soon as they are mature, you make the best and soundest wool. It will not only be young, but healthy; it will have no tender places in it. Aiming for the best mutton you will be certain to get the best wool, which will always sell, no matter what race it belongs to. This is thesysten in England, the great nut ton producing and combing- country in the world. It is really mat ter of surprise in reading English agri- cultural journals to see how little con sideration is apparently given to the qualities of wool, while the size and fattening aptitudes of the different breeds of varieties are the subjects ot the most weighty attention. Yet it is fully recognized that the characteristic qualities of the English combined wools have been developed upon originally short-wooled animals, by the uncon- scious development of their forms and the secondary qualities of thei1 feeces, through constant aim to de velop their carcasses for the mutton market. Thus the interest of the grower the consumer of meat and the manufac turer of wool are identified.
