Mrs. Ninsiow's Soothing Syrup.
Rev. Sylvanus Cobb thus writes in the
Boston Christian Freeman:-We would
by no means recommend any kind Of
medicine which we did not know to be
good particularly for infants. But OF
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup we can
speak from knowledge, IN our own
family il has proved blessing indeed,
by giving an inflnt troubled with collie
pains quiet sleep, and the parents un-
broken rest ut night. Most parents can
appreciate these blessings Here is an
article which works to perfection and
which is harmless; for the sleep which it
affords the infant is perfectly natural,aud

directions for the proper use of hot water.
In the first place it must be hot, l. e., not
less than 110o nor more than 1862 FahTen-
heit. This excites proper action of the
digestive organs. Cold water depresses and
lukewarm water causes vomiting. For
diarrhda the hotter the water the better.
For hemorrhages it should be at blood
heat. The quantity of hot water drunk
varies from half pint to one pint and a
half, according to the condition of the pa
tient and the disease treated. The hot
water should be taken one or two hours
before each meal, and half an hour before
retiring. This gives the water time to
operate before food enters the stomach or
sleep comes. The water should be slipped
slowly, and the swallowing of half q pint
should take half an hour. 1t takes six
months to wash out the liver and intestines
thoroughly. If the hot water seems flat, y
fiavorings, such as lemon, sage, or ginger,
may be added. The effects of drinking are
noticed in the improved feelings of the pa
tient. The urine becomes clear as crystal,
and perspiratiOn is free. The digestion i'm
proves, thirst disappears, and there is no
longer craving for liquor. Taken as a
whole, from DR.. Cutters estimate. the hot
water treatment is the most complete
remedy yet discovered for all the evils
flesh is heir to.

THE CITY OF PETRA.
Houses HeWn out of Solid stone, and
Mountains for Walls.

The city existed before the time of Moses;
1t was the place where Solomon was a
merchant and David fought the foe. Petra
Is IN the very lowest part of a rocky valley,
now called Wady Musa. The city, which
covers considerable territory, is completely
hemmed in by cliffs. The only available
entrance is from the east, through a narrow
gorge SO small in places that a loaded
camel cannot pass through. The path is
crooked and the sides of the cliffs are many
hundred feet high. Once in the valley,
where the site of the city is found, one
sees an amphitheatre capable of holding
$500 persons Magnificent temples, pillars,
public editices and dwellings are found on
every side in almost entire preservation
Up the mountain sides the homes for the
people were built, and the sides of the
mountains first shaved off, were carved
into long flights of stairs. All the build
ings and pillars are carved out of solid
rock. y house or temple was made out
of, and stands to-day, solid piece of stone
The process was to plane off the side of
the mountain of stone then, beginning at
the top, facade of elegant architectural
beauty was carved upon the face of the
mountain. First the cdpital was carved
thCi thC pllldI; IHSu lllc DdSc, duu 81 Ou
down to the bottom. Excavations were
made, beginning at the top, and in this way
the temple was gradually structed. The
stone is puzzle to biologists. Its color is
red and green, and yellow and blue, and
garnet and brown, as in watered silk, and
the best explanation of its gorgeous varie-
ty is that the water has mingled with the
iron salts, and the stone itself, being of
different constituents, in different places
has caused the several colors They look
like the cOlors of rich Persian rug blend
ed in curving lines. The mountains, which
really constitute the surrounding walls of
Petra and give it the name of the Rocky
City," and makes it the most impregnable
place in the world, are from 800 to 5000
feet high. Some of the dwellings and
temples are 100 feet in height. The ex-
cavations are 20 and 40 feet deep.

Edward Atkinson of Boston, the eminent
statstician, has sent to the State Committee
Oh Labor and Education a very elaborate
calculation showing the cost of a loaf of
bread made at the East from the grain
grown on the fields of Iowa or Dakota, and
how the cost is distributed. This history
of the cost of loaf of bread is very inter-
esting and ingenious one, and at the same
time very simple. OF the value of 100 bar
res of flour $500 goes to the Dakota farm
er, the freight to Boston will be S197.5O !;
the barrels will cost S45, the grinding $50,
and the commissions and carriage $50, max
ing the total cost of the hundred barrels of
flour S6S2. 80 when the flour reaches BOs-
ton The baker then takes the hundred
barrels of flour and adds S210 worth of
oyen-heat and yeast and 5000 worth of
labor, so that when the flour :goes into the
shop for sale in the shape of 5000 loaves of
bread it has cost 81 ,092. .50-an equivalent
Of 33 cents pound. For this bread the
baker or the retail dealer gets I cents
pound that is to say, the baker and gro
Ger in Boston get about One-half of the
money paid for barrel of flour, the farm
er gets fifth, the railroads one-tenth, the
miller, merchant and cooper one-fourteenth

Our Well.WOrn Earth,

That the falling drop will wear away the
stone, is a saying which adult persons
have not been able to verify by observa-
tion; but it is not so generally understood
that falling drops will wear away a noun
tain or wash away a continent. Rain
frost and ice have ground down the sum-
mits of lOftiest mountains, and there are
few high peaks now in existence which
have not been much higher, and which are
not being steadily leveled by atmospheric
agencies. In colder climates solid glacier
rivers are also found, which, moving i'm
perceptibly, but with irresistible force hol-
lows out valleys and grind down the su-
perincumbent rocks. The sea also devOurs
the land rapidly. Furthermore, innumer-
able rivers, streams and springs are per-
petually loOsening the soil, rasping down
the rocks with sand, and bearing off bill
lions of tons of solid matter to the sea bot
tom, where the whole mass is squeezed by
the terrible hydraulic pressure into stone,
marble or solid strata of some kind. The
Mississippi alone carries annually to the
sea s12, 50O,OOO,OOO pounds of mud. All
the habitable land Of the globe is being
continually ground and washed away
planed down to the ocean level; while the
sea bottom is being steadily filled up.
The deposit of foriminiferal shells alone
not including other remains-is sufficient,
as Huxley has calculated, to create bed
of limestone in the bottom of the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans 800 feet thick, suppos-
ing these oceans to have existed only 100,
600 years.
Were it not for internal forces the time
would come when all existing land would
be leveled with the ocean and thereafter

down Winter street.
That's sign there's going to be a mar

Did |? My goodness, l should think
so. Who wouldn't"
Then you ought to have counted the
tears, and just as many tears as you shed
it's just SO many days before you'll be
married"
Why, how funny Did you ever

What question l amt married, am

couldn't count 'em, and it's just as well,
for suppose it had come on a Friday :?
That's an awful unlucky day,
Oh, don't talk about luck. There's my
cousin in Salem, she was married on Sun
day-they say that's the best of all-and
what luck did it bring her? miserable
husband, divorce case, isn't much for
luck"
Overhearing all of which the Globe
statician was reminded of a clipping
stored in his archives with the old play
bills and the articles cut out to save that
will never be wanted until the next day
after they are burned. According to this
clipping, which will be read with interest
in view of the present leap Year and a
prospective matrimonial boom, there are
thirty-two days in the year on which it is
unlucky to marry, upon the authority of a
manuscript dated in the fifteenth century.
These days are January /, ?, 4, ., T. 10 Is;
February g. 7, IS; March l, 6, 8; April e,
II; May 5, 6, 7; June 7, 10; July ., 19;
August 10, 10; September 6, Z; October 6;
November 15, IS; December 10, Is, II.
Consequently January is the worst month
and October the best month in the year for
marriage. The records show, however,
that in Boston, and in fact throughout
New England, November is the banner
month for matrimOny, October holding
second place in nuptial favor. For this
Thanksgiving day is mainly responsible.
1t has been consecrated to marriage festivals
for many generations Fast day is another
favorite day for connubial ventures, and
with large proportion of our population
Easter Sunday is regarded as an auspiciOus
occasion for the welding of the matri-
monial fetters. Thousands of couples have
welded New Years week, unwilling
the risk they ran as above set forth and
it is hardly to be expected that the publi-
cation of this list will increase the number
of happy families or lessen the regular
long roll of divorce suits upon the GOckets
of the courts.
