The region is opening up gradually,

In Northern Wisconsin the settler
finds just what he needs. No wild
romance, no dismal canyons, no fright
full cliffs, no roaring cataracts. no
towering snow-capped mountain peaks
to excite and bewilder the mind, but
majestic forests, unfailing streams,
rich mines and a strong soil, that re-
spends readily to the touch of the
husbandman. Besides the vast lumber
ing interests, Northern Wisconsin is
bound to become an empire of agri-
cultural and mineral wealth. Its deep
rich productive soil, specially adapted
for grass, cattle and dairying, and its
mines as yet but partially developed,
will command more and more attention.
That great terra incognito often years
ago, is bound to surpass the hopes and
expectations of the most sanguine.
By the Wisconsin Central and other
railroads thousand choice locations
can be reached from Milwaukee, in
eight to twelve hours, where the
settler can raise good crops and fine
cattle, with ready market at his door.

THEIDEAII LAND.

The persistently and mastery efforts
to induce immigration farther west,
seems to have overawed the modest
people of Wisconsin. While the
depots and hotels and whole country
have been flooded with hand bills and
circulars and pamphlets about Dakota
and the New West, the more conven-
lent, diversified and valuable resources
of the Badger State, have been left to
advertise themselves.
Northern Wisconsin has great ad-
vantages, not so fat as Illinois, not so
wet as Michigan, not so dry as Min
nesota, not so cold as Dakota, not so
distant as Manitoba, it's beautiful tim
Der, rich soil and promising mines, its
sparkling water, pure air and bracing
climate, its thrifty settlements and
ready markets, only need to be known
to be appreciated. Many seeking
just such a country, sweep by far into
the wilderness, not understanding
their opportunity.

Not so in Northern Wisconsin.
The settler comes understandingly, de-

timber to build his house, pure cold

How 70 Remove Scar.

Scars are always unsightly and are often pain
ful or inconvenient on account of their propen-
sity to contract as they become older DR.. Ward
of New York, asserts that they may be removed
by manipulation, which he directs to be en-
ployed as follows: Place the ends OF two or
three fingers on a scar II 1t be small one. and
on the margin if it be large, and vibrate the sur
face on the tissues beneath. The surface itself
Is not to be subjected to any friction; all the
motion must be between the integument and
the deeper parts. The location OF the vibratile
motion should be changed every ten or fifteen
seconds until the whole scar has been treated, II
it be OF moderate size. II the scar be the result
OF large scald or burn, the margin only
should be treated at first; the advances toward
the center should be deferred until the nutrition
OF the margins has been decidedly improved
Only little treatment should be applied to any
one spot at the same time, but the vibrations
should be repeated as many as twenty times o
day, but never with sufficient frequency or Sc
verify to cause pain. II the scar becomes irrit-
able, suspend treatment until It subsidies. In
the course OF two or three weeks of faithful
treatment the surfaces Of the scars of moderate
size become more movable and will begin to
form wrinkles like true skin when pressed from
side to side. All these changes are due to i'm.
proved nutrition, consequent on better blood
circulation-the development Of entirely new
sets OF blood vessels In the electrical tissue.
