' It Is a.-gell-known fact that the process of mak Ing wheat flour removes with the bran In the bolt ing, a portion - of the ' natural phosphates of. the grain,- Phosphates are -.of tne greatest value in maintaining mental and physical vigor. Of all the preparations used to raise bread, Horsf ord's Bread - Preparation is the only one that replaces the phos phates of the grain, which are of great nutritive , mrortance. It is composed of acid phosphate of . ,llme which takes the place of the cream of tartar ' and the alum of other preparations and bicaroo nate of soda. The result of the chemical action when the preparation and the soda are added to floor mixed in the form of dough, is a onion of the phosphoric acid and' the soda, thus liberating the r carbonic acid gas which performs the rising pro- . cess . : , The resulting phosphate of lime and soda left in the bread strengthens the nutritive value of the bread which thus gains In the elements of brain, blood and bone food. Here, in the South, ; where the heat tells on the vital forces with ener vating effect, bone and brain food becomes of the utmost importance. Th Horsf ord Bread Prepa ration Is ot the first value on this account, and no ' other baking powder is so wen adapted to the de , mands of the Southern country. . I have used the Horsf ord Preparation In my . family for the past ten years, and certainly would haveno other.- . T. C. SMITH, M. D. : FROM - v , : C.

This fact supplies a test for use in cases where life is suspected to remain in persons apparently dead'. '- From experiments : mad e: in Germany, by Professor'E. VVollny, it appears that the air is consi4erably "cooler over a field j under crop than oyer a fallow field, and that, the temperature fluctuates less in " the former case than in. the latter. . Th ; maximum of air temperature travels with , the course of the sun, from eastern slopes , in the morning.to the southern at - noon ' and' to the western in the evening. :, " An interesting estimate of the amount ; in weight of one inch of rainfall7 on one acre of ground is thus given: An acre of ground contains ' 6,272,640 inches square: Rain rfne inch deep' would give that many square inches ; 1,72! cubic inches make one cubic foot. Rain one inch deep would give 3,6o0 cubic feet. A cubic foot of water weighs sixty-two And one-half pounds; 2,000 make a ton. This Will give 226,875 pounds, or 113 tons and 875 pounds to the acre, of rain one inch deep. . ; '. , In a lecture on physical culture, Dr. H J. W. "White, of the Pennsylvania uni: versity, said that "students at Harvard takej about the Jsame rank in required gymnastics that they do in their regular studies. Brain and nerve substance are behind every Well controlled muscular movement." The lecturer attributed the circumstance of . breaking down : from what is called overtraining to an attempt to reach the desired bodily development within a few weeks. The enlargement of the chest and legs, the strengthening" of the muscles and the expansion of the veins cannot be safely accomplished in a short period. Forest trees are now felled with dyna mite. A cartridgefof the explosive sub- ' stance is placed in a channel bored di rectly under the tree td be operated up on, and when exploded the tree is simply ' forced upj bodily and falls intact on its' side. In most instances it is found that the tree is not fractured, by the force of the explosion ; a large proportion of wood : at the base of the trunk can be utilized which is now lost. For clearing forest properties this method is admirably &4apted, as it brings up the root of the tree at the. one operation, and; dispenses with the tedious and costly process of grubbing the roots of the felled timber. How Artificial Teeth may do Damage. Another agent in the combination to, maintain for the man , of advancing age his career of flesh 'eater is the dentist. Nothing is more common - at this period of life than to hear, complaints of indi gestion experienced, so it is affirmed, be-, cause mastication is imperfectly per formed for want of teeth. The dentist deftly repairs the defective implements, and the important function of chewing the food 1 can be henceforth, per formed with comfort. But, without any intention to justify a doctrine of final causes, I would point out the significant fact that that the disappearance of the masticating powers is mostly coincident with the period of life when that species of food which most requires their action i viz., solid animal fiber is little, if at all, required by the individual.- It is during the latter third tf his career, that " the softer and' lighter foods, such as well f cooked cereals, some light mixed animal and vegetable soups, and also fish,5 for which teeth are barely necessary, ate par- ticularly valuable and appropriate. And the man with imperfect teeth who con forms to nature's demand for a mild, non stimulating dietary in advanced : years, Will mostly be blessed with a better di-" gestion and sounder health than the man who, thanks to hi3 artificial machinery. can eat and does eat as ' much flesh in . quantity i and, variety , as he ; did in; the days of his youth. Far be it for me to undervalue the truly artistic achievements of a clever &nd experienced dental sur geon, or the comfort ; which he affords. By all means let us have recourse to his aid when pur natural teeth fail, for the purpose of Vocal articulation, to say nothing of their relation to personal ap pearance ; on such grounds the ; artificial substitutes rank among the necessaries of life in a civilized community. Only let it be understood that the chief end' of teeth, so far as mastication, is con cerned, has in advancing ago been to a great extent accomplished, and that they are now mainly useful for the purposes just named. But I cannot help adding that there are some grounds for the be lief that those who have throughout life from their earliest years consumed, little or no flesh, but' have lived on a diet chiefly or wholly vegetarian, will; be found to have preserved their teeth lonijer than those-who have always made flesh a prominent uartl of ' their daily food. Popular Science Monthly. Five . years ago a ' remarkably bright and pretty, girl of seventeen worked in a San Francisco laundry. The son of wealthy parents 'fell in love with her. She returned his passion, but said that she would not marry him, as he wished, because she was uneducated and 'coarse. Then . he offered , to send her away to school. ' v She accepted this offer.' During the ensuing four years she was in a Mon treal convent, very ' apt aBd studious. The training wrought all , ths change that was desirable, and the "wedding took place, with a long tour in Europe-after-Ward. The couple retuf. to San Fran Cisco lately.

N Twenty years ago, settlers starting tor the far West, with, their heavily-laden wagons, knew, that the journey would occupy, six months of hard travel, and might" involve" many dangers of varied character chiefly from hostile Indians, prairie fires, nd rattlesnakes." Once started on that far journey, many a weary month must elapse ersanv tidings could ? reach- them from the home they . had left. . ' . .Great was;-4he 1 excitement when ; a' company of. fearless, 'determined men, announced their resoldtibn'to carry 1st-; ters from the . shores of the Atlantic to those of the s Pacific in fourteen days. The feat was deemed impossible. Never theless,5 the Central Overland ) California and : Pike's Peak. Express was .. duly or ganized, the vast expanse of jpountry right across the great continent "was di-. 'vided into runs of sixty miles, and at each terminus rude' log huts were erect ed as stations and., stables for men and beasts. - ' - - , ' : , ; , , . The' latter were strong, swift ponies, selected for their hardiness arid great powers of endurance, and the" riders were all picked men,i experienced scouts and trappers, noted ven in that region of.-, keen, hard-riding ; men for courage and good horsemanship; and many a time must both have been tried tq the utter-; mo it in the course of those terribly long . and awf ullv lonesome rides across the trackless prairie, continually in danger of'-attack,- by day' or jby 'night'by wild Indians of highway robbers. , ,-. Once a week ; an express, messenger. started, from either side of the Great Continent. From the first moment to the last, not a second must ba lost. As, long as the pony could gallop, gallop he" must; and the . eager beasts seemed as keen as their riders,, and scarcely needed the cruel spur to urge them on.. For six ty miles at a stretch they must keep" up their utmost speed ; and when at length the goal was., reached, where the next messenger ., was waiting in . the saddle, ready to start without one minute's de-' lay, the precious letter-bag was tossed from one postman to the other, and, ere the wearied incomer had even dis mounted, his successor had started on his onward way. Then pony and man might rest and feed, and rest again, . till the return of the messenger with a re-hlled letter-bag, which was warranted to accomplish its journey of upward of 2,000 miles in 240 hours. ' (The 'railway pnlthe New York side being already constructed a3 far as St. Joseph, that station was the eastern point to which the pony express had tc run.) The Pony express was cbntinued for two years, accomplishing' its work with amazing regularity, and involving many a feat - of splendid riding, and - wild ad-' venture. . It proved, however, a ruinoui and the company collapsed with a deficil oi $auo,uuu. vamw namuy Maganne Poultices Made of Snails.' "One dollar a pound will be paid fer live snails," was an ; advertisement in a Philadelphia paper. A jeweler on Pas syunk avenue was the advertiser. The morning folio wing his printed' offer for unseal ned specimens, says an exchange, long line of boys, old women and col ored men stood patiently waitinsr for the jeweler to open ms snop. .-?:ufle acuiar a pound'! naci set inpusanas to wont snau hunting. . The unwary creatures Were pounced upon in cellars and alley wayv all their , damp, slimy haunts - were in vaded by battalions armed with sticks, jugs and cans and by daylight the hunt was ove. Small boys with a few ounces of snails and several pounds of dirt, de posited their moist treasures m the jew eler's hands, received "a dime 'and left with uncomplimentary remarks, about his weighing scales. . An old colored man .dumped two pounds of assorted sizes and grinned as a couple of silver dollars .rattled down into "'-nis popkets. The old; women t had been pretty good hunters too, and bagged large quantities of the game. All the morning tlie little jewelry store was besieged by v snail catchers, and. before noon the market price had declined fifty, per cent. The fall in value had little efEect, : however, for the rush continued till . closing time. Before 6 o'clock snails were a drug on Passyunk avenue, ; and sportsmenxould not realize a penny a pound on their captives. : cyS- In an interview held with, the adver tiser and purchaser, it was discovered that the snails were to be used for a medical purpose. Some time ago a. pub lished article on eczema, or skin disease, mentioned the case of a" prominent Eng lish dean, who was suffering from this troublesome malady. While walking in his garden one warm day, 'suffering in tensely with; the burning, itching rash that covered his body, a family of snails clinging to the under side of aV cool," green leaf suggested the idea, of apply ing them to the affected skin. - Laying a few upon the stinging, spots, he dis covered by this heroic, though repul sive, treatment a simple remedy for the! disorder. According J to the jeweler's statement, this article 'had led him, to advertise for snails having been afiiicted with a troublesome case of eczema for thirteen years. A week's experiment with the novel remedy has relieved : him considerably., and the prospect is that the " snail market will : recover from its collapse. Should " the treatment prove effective ' in ' this prevalent disorder; it will be welcomed ,no less by the medical profession thanby the sufferers. - Keeping Rooms Cool. - ;' , s A cool place 'should never be venti lated, unless; the air admitted is coolei than the air within, or is at least as cool as that. : The warmer the air the more moisture it holds in suspension. : ITeced-- sanly, tne cooler ine air, tne more tnis moisture is condensed and precipitated. When a cool cellar.: is - aired v on a warm day, the entering air being in motion ap pears cool; but as ! it fills thecellar, the cooler air with "which it becomes : mixed chills -it, the moisture is condensed, and dew is deposited on - the cojd -walls, ancl may : often be seen running down them in, streams. To avoid this the windows should only be opened at' night; and late ,--thelast thing before retiring. ; There is no 'need to fear that .the night air, is unhealthful it is as pure as the air of midday, and is really drier," The cool air enters the apartment during the night : and circulates through it. The windows should ' be closed before : sunrise in the .morninor. and kept closed and shaded through the dsL.American Agricultur- The Legend or E-yer-shaw. About ten miles belo w St. Paul, on the left bank of : the Mississippi; river, lies a stone on the margin of a flo wering prairie, that ?f or decades has . been looked upon by the Sioux with the deepest reverence and awe, and which bears the - marks bT the 'sacrilegious curiosity seeker's soul less chisel. 7 In the language of the Siojux it is,known as E-yer-shaw, or Red Rock. It is.not of gigantic proportions; weigh inff hardly 'more than a ton, and' in form looks - like . a monstrous egg -thati might' J have, been deposited there by some fab-T ulous bird. ; Brqa stripes : of ;ired".paint' encircle the boulder, being7 frequently retouched by the half -civilizedyet super stitious ; remnants of. .this 1 once mighty, people,- who still live. in, the, vicinity of this spot so sacred to .them. 4 Away back t in the years that have' gone, when this " ground was 'held defiantly ' against the avaricious encroachments of the : Chip-; pewas by;, the determined Sioux, t at the close of-' a summer's day and on the ' eve of ' a: great r battle ' between l'the contending tribes,- the" rock is said" to . have walked' r down from Zion 'Hilly a : small mountain that - lifts its front from. the northern skirt of. the prairie, .and rested where it now lies. Ka-be-bou ik-ka, the, storm spirit of the Chippewas,". became -so . enraged that he . sent forth fiery-' arrows of light ning agaiust the rock arid, thundered forth his ungovernable rage, but the rock defied the powers of $ the Chippewa god and remained intact, and in th midst of the terrific battle of the ele ments the Indians fought, and the dis-' heartened' f Chippewas - were driven across the : river and defeated. From the time until the advancing hosts of civilization drove them from the grcund . the Sioux each year, brought gifts of fruit; moccasins,- and blankets to the rock, and offered them at a sacrifice to the Great Spirit who kad given them so signal a victory over their enemies. The superstitions of v the; Indians was a source of considerable profit for many years to an enterprising negro who lived in that vicinity. He quietly purloined the articles from the rock and sold them back to the Indians at a good advance on the original cost. He became so bold in his thieving that he was at last caught ia the act and, his woolly skull cut open with a tomahawk and his body thrown into the river.- Chicago Herald. v HEALTH HINTS. 1 For toothache try. chewing cinnamon bark. ' . A bag of hot sand will often relieve neuralgia. Hop pillows are successfully used by many people who are otherwise unable to sleep soundly. For ringworm of the scalp try ten grains of iodine dissolved in an ounce of turpentine; apply as a local remedy after the diseased part has been thoroughly washed. To cure felons, mix one ounce of Ven ice turpentine with one ounce of water; stir with a rough stick until thick; then wrap a good coating of it around the finger with a cloth. Another method is to wrap the part affected with a linen clth dipped in a tincture of lobelia. ' The Journal of Health, says to stop bleeding, if from a cavity in the ..jaw after a tooth has been extracted, shape a cork into the proper form and:, size; to cover i the . bleeding cavity, and long enough to'be kept firmly in place when the mouth is closed. This, we believe. is our own invention, and we have never known it to fail. It has served us in desperate cases. Many persons seriously damage their eyes by ; forcibly rubbing them " when drowsy, especially when awakening in the morning." To strengthen the eyes, to relieve them when; swollen or con gested, and to remove; chronic inflam mation in the eyes, prurient discharges, etc., nothing is equal to bathing them frequently with water, at first tepid, but afterward lowering in temperature . to absolute coldness. - : A very effective and - instantaneous remedy in almost all cases of poisoning is a heaping teaspoonful of common salt and vs much ground mustard, stirred rapidly in a teacup of tepid water. It is scarcely down before it begins to come up, bringing with it the remaining con tents of the stomach, and lest thereby any remnant of poison, however small, let the white of an egg, sweet oil or but ter or lard several spoonfuls -be swal lowed immediately after vomiting. " . Color-Bliudness. , A writer in the Journal of Science, treating of color-blindness, gives the fol lowing interesting : examp.es from his own-experience: A man may have a good eye for form aud outline, and yet be partially or wholly color-blind. To select an instance from" among many ia difficult, but one impresses me more than the rest, that of Wyatt, the sculptor, who at the outset of his career was known aa a remarkably good draughtsman.; He naturally took . to painting, but, as his pictures were observed to present curious incongruities of colorthat involved him in grievous difficulties he with much re luctance was obliged to abandon the brush for the chisel.- v He was altogether" unable to comprehend the nature of his defect 'indeed, refused to believe that he was color-blind. So of men who have attained to eminence in the world of let ters, and whose writings unmistakably be tray evidence of. a meager color vocabu lary. A striking example of thi3 occur-. rea in the person ! of my friend, the late lamented Angus B. Reach.; He was uni able to recognize a difference 4n color between the leaf, the flower, ; and - the fruit of plantsand trees. .His want of perception of color was wholly unknefwu to and unrecognized by himself, ' until we sat together at; the table of a Paris restaurant, lie requested the. waiter to bring him some ink.. . As it often hap pens under similar circumstances, the ink was brought in a wine glass. Reach became absorbed in his subject, while L seated, opposite to him, observed, him alternately dipping- his pen into his claret glass and into the ink glass". ' Pres ently, to my surprise, he" took up the ink glass, and was about to drink, when I remonstrated, ; arid e ' then , said he could see no dittefecce : between the color of the ink and . the wine.V On sub sequently testing him T discovered that he was completely color blind. t - - Look out for the advertisement of Gulnn's Pio neer Blood Benewer, shortly to appear. - - sepldtf ';;;;.; .,; f W' v - r.xs n j nornexs Use MULLEN'S?
