 PHILADELPHIA, Feb 12-The rehsbilita- tion of the Reading road and its exsricstion from the reoeivsrship were practically as- cured on Saturday when arrangements were concluded for wiping out the floating debt.

SOMETHING
 ABOUT Liqu0rs and Wines.

l "LA Grippe" and Pneumonia are diseases that
 at present prevail everywhere,-and Whiskey is, l along with quinine generally prescribed as the l most nee 1ful remedy. The chief requirement,
 first, Is to have it the best quality then, abso- l lutely pure, and good age.
 We buy and sell the best Whistles made in America-many the oldest that can be procured. Nearly all we sell is to families to be used medi- cinally we seek no other patronage. For that reason alone it Is necessary that none be offered that is not absolutely pure.
 It is not Q great while since We submitted five Liquors, viz: Brandy, St. Croix and Jamaica Rum, Bourbon Whiskey and Holland Gin, to the then State Chemist and Professor of Chemistry at Yale College, for inspection and analysis Cat considerable expense). All were pronounced by him to be absolutely pure. It gave confidence to
 large number who feared none pure were to be obtained. They were such as we to-day offer NO BETTER.
 We are the oldest house in the trade in New Haven Csave one, not near the center) All the others either out of business or reorganized with younger and inexperienced men at the helm. None but our own continuous since 1861.
 If experience counts for anything we are bet ter equipped to supply the public with reliable Liquors and Wines than any house in New Haven.

wv in the Hous..

The Germans cultivate ivy in their
houses with great success. Placing a
root in a large pot by one side of a
window, they will train it as it grows
until it forms a pretty frame for the
entire window. The English ivy grow.
ing over the walls of building, in.
stead of promoting dampness. as most
persons would suppose, is said to be a
remedy for it, and it is mentioned as a
fact that in a room where dampness
had prevailed for length of time the
affected parts inside had become dry
when ivy had grown up to cover the
opposite exterior side. The lose, over
hanging pendant leaves prevent the
rain or moisture from penetrating the
wall In order to train ivy over door
buy couple of brackets, such as
lamps for the burning of kerosene are
sometimes placed on, and screw them
to the sides of the door. Put N each
plant of English ivy, the longer the
better, then train the plants over the
top against the sides-any way your
fancy dictates The common ungla zed
pots will answer every purpose by
placing in each two or three sprays of
Coliseum ivy. In a months time no
vestige of the pot itself can be dis.

Another success scored by the Japa-

corded in that country's press. II con.
sists in the production of fine thread
from nettle hemp. The patent is said
to have been obtained by Itagaki Ho-
kotaro, son of Count Itagaki. but the
technical method was Ella bora ted chiefly
by Miyazaki Saburo, of the Hokkaide
hemp factory
The reputation acquired bv a certain
French silk manufacturer in connec.
ton with thread of this kind turned
the attention of Mr.. Itagaki to the
subject. After trials extending over
a period of several years Mr.. Itagaki
succeeded in obtaining thread
about the size of mo. 40" He was
however, dissatisfied with that result,
and continuing his experiments, at
length succeeded in obtaining threads
of the tineness of No. 100" fneness
never previously obtained, even in
France. The nettle hemp is silk,
equally fine, and not at all inferior in
point Of luster, SO that it is expected &c
prove a formida BILE rival of the noble
article

which the thread is produced, grows
abundantly in wild state in Japan,
