The New York Post says: Chamois

favor for winter wear, we reply to a

very excellent garments make it almost
should suffer inconvenience from a
change of atmosphere. Many people
have habit of heaping on q super
abundant amount of clothing when
they have to "face the weather." and
the removal of their wraps when in
doors is often the cause of cold. II
people could be induced to wear these
perforated slips there would probably
be less suffering from many of the ills
which flesh is heir to. Ladies who de-
light in wearing nothing but jersey
jacket upon the promenade find a
strong refuge against the northern
blasts in the perforated chamois vest.
The greatest drawback to these CON-
Portable garments is their expense, as
two entire suits cost considerable sum.
They wear long time, however, and
undergo the wear and tear of laundry
with very good success. English women
have taken to wearing fine wool under
garments, and speak of their comfort
with enthusiasm. All kinds of fine
wool flannel underclothing are made for
both men and women, and elderly En-
glish women, who for want of proper
exercise suffer severely from the cold,
wear vests of arctic down. These, how
ever, cannot be worn beneath q snug
bodice, which is disadvantage.

Snare the Trees.

Thirty years ago Iowa had thousands
Of as beautiful walnut trees as ever
grew on the face of the earth. They
were ruthlessly cut down and split into
fence posts and rails and sawn into
lumber which was used for all kinds of
building purposes. Many of those trees
to-day would sell for 800. The same
line of policy is now being pursued
with many other kinds of timber. Pine
trees are being laid waste by the mill
ion. The southern turpentine manu-
facturer is yearly destroying thousands
of beautiful pine trees for the sake of a
gallon of turpentine from each, that in
few years would be worth many dol
lars, and so it is with other kinds of
timber. The land upon which much of
this timber is growing is of little value
for anything else. There are many
trees now growing in Iowa that if left
alone for the next twenty years would
bring large prices. 1t would be well
to think of these things before ruthless
ly chopping them down. The line of
the poet would be applicable: Wood
man, spare that tree. "-Trde1' QolCa)

Suggestions for Husbands.

Do not jest with your wife upon a
subject in which there is danger of
wounding her feelings. Remember that
she treasures every word you utter. Do
not speak of some virtue in another
mans wife to remind your own of q
fault. Do not reproach your wife with
personal defects, for, if she has sensi-
bility, you intiict wound difficult to
heal. Do not treat your wife with in
attention when in company; it touches
her pride, and she will not respect you
more or love you better for it. Do not
upbraid your wife in the presence of a
third person; the sense of your disre-
gard for her feelings will prevent her
from acknowledging her fault. Do not
entertain your wife with praising the
beauty and accomplishments of other
women. If you would have pleasant
home and cheerful wife, pass your
evenings under your own roof. Do not
be stern and silent in your own house
and remarkable for sociability else
where. You1lg Ladies' Journal

Bed Quilts.

II is not to every one that time and
patience to make Japanese or crazy
quilts is given, but simpler silken
spreads may be made with good effect
by alternating plain black silk or satin
stripes four inches wide, with six-inch
stripes made in imitation of Roman
ribbon, or horizontal pieces of gayly-
tinted silk or ribbon. If the latter is
used the corded edge must be cut off,
No embroidery is necessary on these
quilts, but narrow black velvet run be-
tween the stripes is an Improvement
The short seams across the Roman
stripes should all be pressed open.
For ordinary winter use serviceable
bed spreads are made of plain red or
blue satteen lined with the same shade
of some cheaper material, cambria or
silesia will do very well. Put in sheet
wadding and tack the quilt all over in
six-inch squares, tying in narrow rib
bon ut each intersection TO make bow.
If the spread is only large enough TO
cover the bed without tucixing in, it
may be edged with torchon lace or with
rickrsck or braid lace. Cheese cloth
spreads are pretty made in the same
way with ribbons tied in, or they may
be tackled with cross-stitch OF red
worsted, and edged all around with two
rows of briar stitch done in worsted
Into the overcast edge n double row of
crocheted scallops may be worked. In
the center, just below the turning over
of the sheet, place graceful bow of
wide satin ribbon and tack il down with

Or the wide-spreading chestnuts, so

The afluent foliage Of whose branches mado

Eminent Testimony.

n. Y. Witness, Aug. Is, 1880.
i find that in addition to the pure spirits
contained in their composition, they con-
tain the extracts of hops and other WE'LL
known and highly approved medicinal
roots, leaves and tinctures in quantities
sufficient to render the article what the
makers claim it to be, to-wit, medicinal
preparation and not bevemge-unfit and
unsafe to be used except as a medicine.
From a careful analysis OF their formula
which was attested under oath--I find
that in every wine glassful of Hop Bitters,
the active medicinal properties aside from
the distilled spirits are equal to a full dose
for an adult, which fact, in my opinion,
subjects it to an internal revenue tax as o
medicinal bitter"
