MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

NEW YORK. Sept. 23-The stock market open.
ed this morning with marked activity, but the
narrowness and strictly professional character OF
the market was brought moro prominently into
view by the animation displayed, as three fourths
of the business done was in those stocks to which
the bears have of late paid particular attention.
First prices as compared with the final figures OF
last evening woro irregular but gencrally lower
but in the general list a firm tone was developed
although the fluctuations were Insignificant in
almos. every case. The general lis scored slight
advances over the opening prices, and at IL
o'clock the Market was less active but I'm at the
Improvement.

REV. JOHN DIXON, j.. in his sermon al
New York last Sunday. sald he objected to
the Force bill, because 1t ls product OF q
diseased partisan Imagination and Is based
upon actual Ignorance of the part OF the

some men in the North who understand the

Keep IN Good Health

Wash the head in cold sage tea; it
viii keep the hair from falling out.
Never take cold or hot bath till
three hours or longer after a meal.
If the feet are tender and sore
battle them with alcohol each night
Adequate exercises in the open air
should be taken in order to help the
skin throw off effete matter.
Good and properly cooked food
should be eaten, not food seasoned
to cover up decay, partial and COM
plete.
Water, not iced, but cooled by be.
ing placed upon ice, either in pitch
ers or bottles, is cold enough to
dring.
Much sickness in farmers families
in winter is due to keeping large
quantities of potatoes and other We
getables stored under sleeping rooms.
Horseradish roots grated and
moistened with vinegar, put in bag
and applied to the seat of pain, will
cure neuralgia.
Occupations which are of an out
door character are the best for the
health; eight hours for work, eight
hours for sleep, eight hours for rest.
Pure air is food for the lungs.
This is obtained by scientific ventila-
ton, which consists in admitting cur
rents or movements through two or
more apertures.
Proper and sufficient clothing
should be worn; that which is loose,
light and warm. Light colors for
summer, dark for winter. In sum-
mer wear flannel bandage about the
abdomen.
Personal cleanliness is essential.
Battle once day. Baths to be of
the same temperature as the body.
Bathing enables the skin to throw
off effete matter, causing the dead
and useless epidermis to peel off.
The sun bath is beneficial. No sit
ting or reading in darkened rooms
or those lighted by gas. Gas burns
up oxygen very rapidly. Sitting
under gas jet turns the hair gray,
and by overheating the scalp des-
troys its vitality and causes the hair
to fall out.
For billiousness squeeze the juice
of a lime or a small lemon into half a
| glass of cold water and stir in little
baking soda; drink while it foams.
To be taken when rising in the morn
ing. This will also remove the sick
headache if taken in the beginning.
Malaria is due TO microbes, which
reach their victims either from the
air, by inhalation, or from drinking
water. Avoid the night air, sleeping
in the higher room of the house, and
guard against all excuses.

Farm and Garden Notes .

Build an ice-house early.
When dry pillow heavy soils.
Keep potatoes out Of the sun.
Waste neither corn nor stalks.
The market for the finest products
is seldom If ever glutted.
Burn no refuse that viii add to
the value of the manure pile.
Do not allow grape vines to cum
Der trees. It is bad for both.
When cattle feed in a lot Of sec.
ond-hand clover it gives them a crav.
ing appetite for salt.
See that the food of your animals Is
ina digestible condition. Only what
is digested count.
Poor salt may spoil good butter,
but it never makes good butter il
only helps to keep 1t good.
If your COWS are good ones, your
butter prime and your market fair,
we would advise you to wait till win.
ter before you decide to make i
change.
1t is much more satisfactory
way of doing business to sell butter
as soon as made rather than to hold
it for rise that, possible, may not
come.
Don't you think it is better for
the COWS to have bit of hay in the
morning rather than be turned ont
to apickn at grass with the frost still
on it? We do.
Keep look out for the weak pla-
ces in the fence. A feast of corn
now would do more harm than two
months ago. You might lose the
COW as well as the corn.
The kind and quality of feed the
cows eat should be noted, for no
matter how good the breed may be
the feed has much 20 do with the
milk or butter yield.
The fair is the place to see the
different dairy breeds of cattle, and
when tests for milk and butter are
made on the grounds comparisons
can be made of actual results attain
ed.
Cleanliness in packing and deliver.
ing butter bespeaks taste and neat
ness. It goes a good ways with
many in the makeup OF opinion
whether the article is good, bad, or
indifferent.

PATHS.

Il II
The path that leads to a Loaf of Bread
Winds through the Swamps of Toll,
And the path that leads TO Su 1t OF Clothes
Goes through flowerless soil;
And the paths that leads TO loaf of Bread
And the Suit of Clothes are hard to tread.
And the path that leads to House Of Your
Own
Climbs over the powdered hills,
And the path that leads to Bank Ac-
count
Is swept by the blast that kills;
But the men who start in the paths to-day
In the Lazy Hills may go astray
In the Lazy Hills are trees of shade
BY the dreamy Brooks of Sleep,
And the rolicking River of Pleasure laughs
And gambols down the steep;
But when the blasts of the wintor come
The brooks and the river are frozen dumb.
Then woe to those in the Lazy Hills
When the blasts of winter moan,
Who strayed from the path to Bank Ac-
count
And the path to q House of their Own;
These paths are hard in the summer heat,
But in winter they lead to snug retreat.
