Early AnarIcQnG. A

Simplicity in their mode of living was the 1 marked characteristic of the early settlers of America.
 Everything which pertained to them was plain and unostentatious. The food which they ate was frugaiiy 1 served and of the substantial kind. Their clothing was home-spun and the nnoccasins which covered their feet were home product, being made from the nloe CT animals and ornamented with beads atter the Indian fashion.
 Their homes we1e simplicity itself, con- sisting of roughly hewn logs and home made shipglss-the whole constituting the old Log Cabin home of frontier life. Yet those were model homes. The wives and mothers were well Versed in the art of all that pertsined to house. wifery.
 Conspicuous in the early home was the striking figure of the old grandmother: Not only was she the adviser in social afr fairs, but she was the medical adviser ana prescriber for the sick. Often were her hands engaged in the preparation or some healing potion or remedy for the reile1 or those in ill health. Fully versed in all the bountiful supplies contained in the grand store house of nsturs, she wisely knew no" to utilize the curative proper.i-s contained Tn certain roots and hsrbs, snd accordingly sne
 transformed them into certain rsmealai agents, which have made the old Log Caoln famous for all time to come Conscious of the great value of some of those old time home cures, successful enoft has been made to rediscover the lost secret of their preparation, and, coupled with all the improvement which human ingenuity and
 progrsas suggests, they are now widely known
 under the name of Warmers Log Cabin rem
 edies, the most prominent being Log Cabin
 sarssparilla and Log Cabin cough ard cons
 sumption cure.
 The suffering public has been quick to re- cognizs and appreciate their true value, and the manufacturers are daily in receipt of much praise for the rediseovery and revival of these old time remedies against sickness and disease.
 To the old Log Cabin home, however, is justly due the praise for all the good which may thereby be effected.

WOMEN AND TEA.
Nervous Disorders Due to Overindu gence in mlId Drink.

SeMce 1m A1A0 Df10As
 The nervous woman is product of the 18th century, and, inferentially, of tea. She takes tea to soothe her nervous, and it rather excites them; or else she takes it because che has acquired the habit, and the result is the same. Russian Women are even more afflicted with "nerves' than their English sisters. They are more inclined to fitful and violent settlements, more skilled in intrigue, more pessimistic, more selfish, as rule. Now, it is worth noticing that they have known the use of tea much longer, that they drink purer and stronger beverage, and that they indulge in it oftener than English women. The children take after the moth ers and in the men the characteristics be- Scratch Russian nervousness" and you will find good deal of Tartar brutality under meath it. Here, then, are four we'll marked stages. First, the healthy stage-the eondi- tion of England before the introduction of tea, when nervous diseases were unknown, nervous attacks very rare, and the possession of ''nerves' ground for practical joking, rather than claim for sympathy. Second ly, there is the period of the gradual growth of the consumption of tea, and the simultan- eous development of nervous disorders and diseases, ompanied by certain pronounced mental and psychological characteristics. Thirdly, the state of society existing at pres ent in Russia, which Is practically period of further development. Here we find that an historically longer acquaintance with tea as a beverage is accompanied by greater subjection to nerves and a more marked de- velopment of the mental characteristics ne ted above. The final stage is the present condition of China, where the consumption of tea dates back to time immemorial, where the people appear to be free from nervous systems entirely, and where the oharacteris- tics superinduced by tea poisoning have suf- fered mere decided development, and ap- pear in their barest and toughest form. with out any of the veneer with which they are faintly clothed in the English or Russian femme nerveuse. If 1t were possible to imagine that in time the nervous system in England and Russia should by over-excite- ment grow callous and unresponsivs the ss- ries would then be complete in those coun- tries also; the final stage of the nervous mal- ady would be its own defeasance through ex- cess of irritation, the final development of the inconsiderats selfshness of Ia femme nerveuse would be the -blooded and remorseless cruelty of the Celestial.

APREoIOUs VIOLIN.
waldemar Meyers s1O,0oo Genuine
 Stra6iVarieus.

StFa&1Var10uS.
 One of the most valuable violins of the
 world was lately brought to Berlin by Herr Riechers, the violin maker of this city, states | the Berlin Zeitung, and was quickly sold to | the well-known violin virtuoso, Waldemar I Meyer, for the sum of 25,O00 marks. Of course, it caH only be for genuine Stradi- varus that such price is paid, and this one | is one of the most historically famous violins of it's class According to the documents re- specting it, this violin was made 5y Stradi- varius in 171e, especially for King George the First of England, one of the largest vio- \ lins that Strsdivarius ever made.
 Down to the beginning of this century 1t remained in the possession of the royal fam 1 fly of England, and then passed into the l hands of Scotch nobleman, who was in the English Army and who always carried it with him in his baggage, he had it with him even at Waterloo. His family after ward gave it to the celebrated violinst, Bernard Molique, who lived in London from 1850 to 1866. When Molique, in 1866, re- turned to his native Bavaria, to pass the evening of his life ill peace at Cannstadt, he transferred it to his friend and pupil, Baron von Dreifuss of Munich, brother of the Paris bookseller. He was in the possession of the violin for twenty years, till he, too, was crushed by the weight of years and rem dered incapable by an injury to his arm, of longer enjoying the wonderful tones of his magic violin. He sold it fourteen days ago, to our welI-known fellow citizen, Herr Riechers, who paid 10000 marks for it. At this time the virtuoso violinist Meyer had just returned from an artistically sue cussful concert campaign in London, and op- portunely visited his old friend Riechers. The newly-acquired Stradivarius was natur- ally shown to him: he drew his bow across it, played for half an hour on it, and bought it at once. His English admirers had placed
 him in position to pay the respectable sum of 25, ,0O0 marks for it. His patrons in Eng- land had provided him with a check for
 e2, ,0O0 for the purpose of buying the best Stradivarius he could find, and by lucky Riechers one of the most valuable violins he had ever possessed Waldemar Meyer, we
 may remark, is native of Berlin, pupil of
 Joachim, and one of the three brothers Mey-
 CT, of whom two belong to the Royal Ka-
 belle.

BOUGHT WITH HARTFORD CAPITAL


 BOUGHT WITH HARTFORD CAPITAL.
 MT. c. 0. Kimball, of Hartford, has pur- chased the Home woolen mill at Beacon Falls for the sum of $40, ,000-$20, 900 for the factory and building, $15,O for the tene- ments and other real estate, and $5, 900 for the machinery. The factory at one time did 6 hourishing business, employing some 300 hands. It is reported that after a two-yesr period of idleness the works are about to nearly two years ago and has been lying idle ever since. The concern employed something like 300 hands and manufactured fine cassi- meres and worsteds. Since it's shut down the property has been in the hands of Hon. George Beach, of Hartford, trustee.
 THE BERLIN COMPANY WIN.
 A case of considerable interest, which has been on trial in the County court at St. AL bans, Vt., for the past four weeks, was con- pany of this State contracted to build 8 bridge over the river at Sheldon, Vt., and they contracted with the Vermont Construc- tion company to build the abutments and pie1s. Subsequently the bridge was carried away by high water and ice, and the Berlin company brought suit to recover from the Vermont Construction company, alleging de- feetive workmanship by the latter in con- nection with the bridge masonry. A large number of witnesses have been examined and much time consumed. The jury brought in a verdict yesterday afternoon for the plaintiff in the sum of $5 1875, about $250 of which is for expenses in Investigating plain- tiff's liability to the town of Sheldon. A number of exceptions were taken and the case will doubtless go to the Supreme court. MYsTIo's LATEST INDUSTRY.
 An industry entirely new and unique has been introduced into Mystic. 1t consists of manufacturing or extracting the oil ot black birch from the branches and twigs of the black birch tree. The mill is located on land | owned by MT. Joseph Morgan and employs eight or ten men, besides those engaged in cutting and hauling the brush to the mill. Only from the time the leaves drop in the fall to the time when the buds appear in the spring is the business carried on. It is hoped that the farmers will not be led into extract- ing the oil of the birch tree by the agreeable presentation of values of the oil. It is worth $80 gallon. Five cans were shipped Thurs- day which contained 158 pounds of oil. valued at $500. Black birch trees do not yield oil as the Maple tree runs sap. There is great deal of work in getting the twigs, and much labor in extracting the oil. One ton of branches will produce about three pounds of oil. The oil is shipped to Boston and New York, where it is used by confec- tioners to give the wintergreen flavor so highly prized by lovers of all classes of con- factions.
