liquors, tea, coffee and cocoa on digestion.
An Of them retard the chemical processes,
but most Of them stimulate the glandular
activity and muscular contractions Dis
titled spirits retard the salivary or peptic
digestion but slightly when sparngly used.
Wines were found to be highly Injurious
TO salivary digestion. On peptic digestion
all wines exert . retarding influence. They
stimulate the glandular and muscular &C
tivity of the stomach. Effervescent wines
exert the greatest amount of good with
the least harm to digestion. When ones

mwsrAPER ADVERTISING.

Interview with Mr.. Wilson Soule, Large
Representative Advertiser, ~ to Its Ben
ofits.
fFrom the New Haven Comm Sunday UiaioT,
Oct. IL. 1851
Mr.. Wilson Soule, Secretary and Treas
urer Of the Hop Bitters Manufacturing
Company, has been spending the last two
days here, arranging his advertising mat
ters, and was interviewed by UNION re-
porter as to the results and the worth OF
newspaper advertising He said that for
the four years previous to 1873 they spent
all their money in bill posting and circu-
lars, from which they received no profit; in
fact, they got back just about half what it
cost them for making the medicine and
printing and distributing the circulars.
In the spring OF 1873 they placed an ad-
vertising order Of $4,000 with H. p. Hub
bard, OF New Haven. The results were
sales of $4,000. They increased the ad-
vertising the following year to 100000, the
sales being $4,000. The next year they
spent $4,000, with $3.50, 900 sales, and the
next year the expenditure was slightly in
creased, as also the sales. They argue from
this that soothing but simon pure newspaper adj
sevtising, jssdicio'tsly and thoroughly applied, Is
0as suTs road to success.

The Value Of the Percheron Stud
Book of France.


1t contains the pedigrees and brief
descriptions of about five thousand of
the best bred Percherons, and none
but the produce of recorded sire and
dam are now eligible to entry. Every
one is familiar with the old breeding
axiom. Like begets like or the likeness
of some of its ancestors" From this
alone the most obtuse mind will readily
perceive that q knowledge of those
ancestors is as necessary to the sue
cessful breeder as the perfection of the
animal himself. Stud books arc histo-
ries of tho individuals of q breed, and
are, therefore. the only means by which
the value of any animal for breeding
purposes can be measured; while the
worth of animals of unknown ancestry,
however fine they may be. individually,
can only be ascertained by experiment.
This is the reason why animals of es-
tablished pedigrees, tracing through a
line Of excellent ancestry, always COM
mand higher prices. In this advanced
age of scientific breeding any person
attempting to disparage the value of
pedigrees, or opposing improvement
through the means of stud books, must
be actuated by selfish motives and
should be regarded with suspicion.
There are many horses being imported
from France, of whose origin nothing
Is known.

ORCHIDS.


The Fashionable Craze Among wealthy
Female Cranhs.
There was recently. in New York, .
great sale of orchids belonging to the
estate of Mrs. Morgan, who is said to
have paid two hundred thousand dollars
for this one variety of Towering plants.
The sale realized some seventy thousand
dollars, and it showed that there exists
a class of rich people who are willing to
give large sums of money for this par
ticular variety of plant. Indeed, the
modern world is divided up into groups
of people who set high value upon GER
tain articles. Rare old books are the
lunacy of one set, old pictures of an
other, bric-a-brac of o third. Then
horses and dogs, rare specimens OF
birds, etc., have their admirers. One
hundred and fifty years ago ragged what
was known as the tulip mania. Ger
tain wealthy people developed a craze
for tulips, and the competition ad-
vanced the price of these plants to alb
normal figures. But the hunger was
then satisfied. And so it probably will
be with orchids. A reasonable taste for
flowers is commendable, and many a
young lady who now spends many hours
in learning how to play the piano very
badly would be much better employed
in studying botany and seeking out the
mysteries and marvels Of plant life

The Snail as q Barometer

A correspondent of a Western journal
says there is no surer way of predicting
a change in the weather than by OBJ
serving the habits Of the snail. They do
not drink, but imbibe moisture during
a rain and exude it afterward. The ami
NAL is never seen abroad except before
a rain. The tree snail. as it is called,
two days before rain will climb up the
stems Of plants. and, If the rain is going
to be hard and long one, will get on the
sheltered side Of leaf, but if q short
rain, on the outside. Then there are
other species that before rain are yell
low, after blue. In other snails deep
indentations, beginning at the head be-
tween the horns and ending with the
juncture of the tail, appear . few days
before q storm.

Its value ~ . Remedial Agent and q
Liquor-Antidote.
The value of buttermilk is not as
much appreciated, as it deserves to be,
As beverage it is so much esteemed,
that it has now q recognized place in
the materia ,nedica and is largely used
by physicians in chest and lung all
ments. A proper and constant use OF
it will greatly reduce, and sometimes
cure the craving for alcoholic liquors,
with which MANY persons are afflicted;
so that it may be Well for the apostles
of total abstinence to make use of this
beverage to assist those who have been
addicted to the use of liquor. Have it
near at hand, and when the craving is
felt for liquor, drink half lumber Of
buttermilk. The craving will be salts
fed, and the system bepefted and
strengthened instead of weakened.
There are many good effects from the
free use of buttermilk. 1t alone will
often remedy any acidity of the
stomach. The Tactic acid, needed by
many persons is supplied by it. much
more than by any other known drink
or food. One very important effect Of
buttermilk Is said to be the alleviation
of the oppression around the heart that
so many old persons suffer from, aud
