IN neuralgia the blood is always tod

and exercise combine to remedy these con.

tits rather better to eat thrice day,
morning, noon, and night: that is, as
soon after sunrise as practicable, for break
fast; liltter about one o'clock supper
before sundown.


Eat nothing whatever between meals.


Breakfast, single cup of coffee Of tea,
some old bread and butter, with dish
of berries or stewed fruit in summer tune,
and nothing else; in winter, meat fish, or
poultry, or, in their stead couple Of soft
boiled eggs. .


Supper should be made of cold bread
and butter, and cup of warm drink Of





Dinner the same as breakfast, adding one
vegetable, and some fruit, raw or stewcd,
as dessert, and nothing else. A different
kind of vegetable may be taken every day,
for variety; the kind Of meat may be
changed at each meal.


The object in the specification above
made is to discourage variety at meals,
because it is this which tempts all to cat
too much. Persons at times have felt at
the table that they had eaten enough; but
on seeing very inviting dish unexpected
ly brought in, good meal has been eaten
Of this last variety. The general and
hurtful error is that too great variety is
spread on our tables, not only occasioning
trouble of preparation and great loss, but
also positive injury in the temptation Of
the appetite. The reader may try it upon
himself on any two days. A dinner of one
vegetable, one kind Of meat and bread
at dinner the next day, let great variety
be presented he will eat double the amount
at this repast, with this remarkable differ
ence an hour after the first meal, he will
be entirely comfortable, will feel as if he
had eaten quite enough; an hour after the
latter there will be decided discomfort, .
fullness, "a feeling as if some kind Of relief
were desirable, and in too many cases q
resort to the decantcr, with the vain hope
of riddauce in some way it can not be
denied that the first step towards intemper-
ate habits have been taken in using liquors
to remove the unpleasant consequences OF
over eating. A very great aid towards
overcoming habit of too hearty eating
will be found in sitting down to table

She is sleeping now. Never a
babe sleeping more sweetly. A
smile on her face even yet--this
hour and more there resting, as
the hand, so soft, so fair, so full
of kindness even in it's sleeping
touch, resting so temptingly where
we can reach it in a moment. We
know she is happy, and do wish
that all the women in the land
were as happy as is she. When
comes the hour for rest, then
come we to our home. This
makes it home. And a man will
always be where his heart is, and
it is we'll that it is so. She is not
afraid to trust US, and does trust
US implicitly. And so trusting,
not for all the wealth of the world
would we deceive her. for then
would her happiness and our hap
piness be gone, and regrettul sor-
row be left in its stead.


Who does not love happy
home? Who is there not striving
to obtain one? And who does not
worship those who make him hap
py--evcn as we worshiped God
| because He has promised US eter-
nal happiness? And 50 we love
her who is sleeping jnst here. She
is very, very good to US. To 9th

This vegetable is biennial, and is
highly esteemed both as salad
and for seasoning. In order to Sc
cure good crop, when not sown

cultivation of tie onion is that of

the seed quite late, in close prnx

ALLEGED DISCOVERY OF THE sKEL-

On Tuesday morning last, while Mr..
William Thompson, assisted by Robert
II. Smith, was engaged in making an
excavation near the house ofthe former,
about half mile north of West
Hickory, preparatory to erecting der,
rick, they exhumed AN enormous
helmet of ir on, which was corroded
with rust. Further digging brought to
light sword which measured nine feet
in length. Curiosity melted them to
enlarge the hole, and after some little
time they discovered the bones of two
enormous feet. Following up the
''lead" they had SO Unexpectedly
struck, in few hours time they had
unearthed a we'll preserved skeleton
of an enormous giant, belonging to a
species of the human family which
pro badly inhabited this and other parts
of the world at that time of which the
Bible speaks, when it says, land there
were giants in those days" The helmet
is said to be of the shape of those found
among theruins of Nineveh. The bones
of the skeleton are remarkable white.
The teeth are all in their places, and
all of them are double, and of eXtraor-
dinary size. These relics have been taken
to Tionesta, where they are visited by
large numbers OF people daily. When
his giantship was in flesh he must have
stood eighteen feet in his stockings.
These remarkable relics will be
forwarded to New York early next
week. The joints of the skeleton
are now being glued together. These
remains were found about twelve

DURING the winter months there is on.
portunity to look about for the purpose
Of making house improvements. Farm
ers are very apt to overlook in the sea-
son of leisure those things which present
themselves unfavOrably duringthe spring
and summer. While the leaves are of
the trees, and the earth is covered with
SNOW, shattered fence, broken gate and
vacant plot around the doOT-yard, where
trees, of either fruit or ornament, should
be growing, do not bear the unsightly
appearance they do when the earth has
on her robes Of rejoicing.


Forest trees may be moved in winter
and reset with almost positive assurance
of their living, and, in fact, almost any
tree may be transported any time from
the falling of the leaves until they aD-
pear again. There is little more labor
required to transfer trees in winter while
the ground is frozen than at other times,
but when the difference in the value of
time is compared with that of fall or
spring. 1t will be found economy to do
some winter planting at least. Another
gain is in doing a necessary work that If
neglected at this time will 90 undone.


Wherever it is practicable remove all
collections around the prem
ises. Nothing can be worse than n con-
tracted dOOT-yard and huddle of small
shantg buildings around the house. A
lawn well laid out, with here and there
a cluster of trees, should be considered
indispensable to the farm house. We
would not counsel a too rigid adherence
to straight lines md right angles, for in
these matters, as well as I'm many others,
Nature is the best instructor, and her
instructions should not be Gisregarded.


No one can fail to see that a purchaser
would give more for q farm where taste
has been displayed around the house
and out-buildings, than for one equal in
