Pruning Treks and Vines.
Tho pruning knife oiten injures aa
much as is benefits, and hence arises
iwo schools in gardening, namely, tkcse
f who prune on all occasions, and these
" ??ho prune not at alL As an instance
of very bad pruning we may go to many
dwarf-pear grounds, and find them continually
shortened in till the ends are
like that of the injudiciously pruned
maple trees along city streets?they die
altogether, or present so poor an aspect
that the owner concludes, not that he
is a failure, but that dwarf pears are not
worth growing. Much of the failure
with the dwarf pear comes from bad
pruning, taougU witn tne De3t 01 care
k there are few places where they succeed
to such an extent as to warrant the
extravagant ecomiunis showered on
dwarf pear culture a quarter of a cenW'?
. tury ago. The dwarf pear delights
more, perhaps, in the pruning knife
than in any other fruit tree, except the
grape ; bat instead of shortening in the
vigorous shoots, which are the life of the
tree, and leaving the weak and half-dead
wood, it is this small trash that should
be cut.away. Then, again, we have to
loo& at tee questions 01 growtu urxruitr
fnines s. If a tree is already growing
with great vigor, pruning will only xnduce
a more vigorous foliaceous growth,
which is antagonistic to fruitfulness.
And again, if nob growing as vigorously
as we desire, one good pruning may j
remedy this. Pruning is a great art, !
and yet one which is soon understood, !
if we reflect on a few fundamental j
truths.
Grape vines in the open air, on arbors
and trellises, should have their pruning
finished before warm spring days set in,
s or thej will bleed. It does not injure l
them much, but it looks badly. The!
| pruning must be regulated by the con- j
dition of the vine. If the Vines are;
j| young and the shoots weak, cut them !
all back, to make a new and vigorous!
growtii. it aireaay a lair quanuiy 01
strong shoots of last season's growth
exists, cnt out the weaker ones, so as to
leave enough of stronger ones. The
cane system, slightly modified, is best
for arbors and trellises in the hands of
amateurs generally. Thi3 implies a
new set of canes every year or two. If,
as frequently happens from bad management,
all the young and strong bearing
wood exists only at the ends of the
I - N?' vines?and these latter have become
nothing but long, ropy-looking apoloI:
gies for what a vino should be?the
whole cane may be buried down in the
soil to where the strong shoots spring
from, and the young wood of last sea
son trained up from this. The plant
will then"recover its gocd appearance
quite as well as by cuttiDg down, with
the advantage of not sacrificing a year's
crop of fruit.
.Pruning of most kinds of fruits has
Dees accumpiisueu. wxuugu uio nuKi.
It is customary, however, to leave the
peach till towards spring, in order to
Br cut out any wood th*t may be injured
through the winter. In other respects,
the peach shonld have little pruning at
I this season, as it tends only to make it
grow more luxuriously; and a too free
vigorous growth is a fault of the peach
in this climate. The only pruning admissible
is that which has for its object
tiie production oi eaoois m caseo. ur
f esirable places. After a crop has been
borne, however, pruning may be more
B severely practised. We once heard a
'good fruit grower say that peaches seldom
had the yellows till after they had
I borne one good crop, and that a good j
pruning the winter following the first
bearing was a sure protection against
the dire disease. How much there may
W be in this notion is not clear, but it is
rorth a thought .?Gardeners' Monthly.

themselves -with good seed, but taking

Bp,: . purchases in this line in ample time so
k that when the rush and hurry of the i

jgte. It is upon the quality and condition of
a* the seeds sown that the promts of the
B garden and field most largely depend.
No farmer can afford to risk sowing
tjjSpgH: damaged or defective seed; hence the J
R- V4 wisdom of testing seed previous to
k, - P&jtjnz it, It is a comparatively small I
I
?matter to do this, as most readers
i knew. The germinating powers of
i wheat, rye, oats and barley may be
j tested by sowing some seed in garden
! pct-saucers or other unglazed earthen
, vessels set in water and covered with
i moi&t flannel. Clover and grass seeds
may be tested in the same way, a3 ini
deed may garden seeds. If the seed
! erctirrr>ir>o foa irrcrn!cstJtr if ic o ci<m f V?Q f.
j old and new seed have been mixed. If
| only a small per cent germinates the
| seed should be, of course, discarded.
I The heaviest seed, other things being
j even, is best.
| The seed se-ected, the next consider!
ation in the cultivation of a crop is the
I condition of the soil. The temperature
and moisture of the ground have more
to do with the successes and failures
yearly recorded than is generally acted
upon. "Wheat and barley, for instance,
vhile they will struggle through the
ground at the extreme temperatures of
iorty-one degrees and 100 degrees, germinate
most quickly?other conditions
being equal?at about eighty-four
degrees. Corn does best at about
ninety degrees, though it will germinate
at from fifty to 115 degrees. The
squash, bean and pea all germinate
readilv at about the same temperature
es that given for com. Clover seed
often fails because sown at a time of insufficient
moisture, while millet, for instance,
under similar conditions of dryness,
will secure a good catch.
The depth of planting is another important
point. The size of the seed
should regulate the depth of covering.
Corr: rcu^t be placed deeper, therefore,
than ti e small grains, and the small
grams m tarn deeper taan tne grass
seeds. Most farirers understand this,
but all do not vary these respective
depths to suit the different soils into
which the seeds are placed, and yet a
moment's consideration makes it apparent
that a h? f.vy soil which lies close
to the seed a -mits of slighter covering
than does a shifting sandy one. Many
interesting experiments have been made
from time to time to test the germinating
powers of seed under different
depths of covering. From experiments
showing the germination of wheat at
certain depths in the ground, it appears
that about three-icurths of the seed
planted will come up at a depth of
three inches, and nearly all at from one
to two inches. These and similar facts
point to the importance of planters acquainting
themselves with the requirements
of the seed to be sown.

The Cranks of Xevr York Sjciety.
Where are there no cranks ? There
are surely plenty of them in New York
society?and in its highest circle. There
-3 -? vrrrf^ A?A
are men anu. wumeu ?uu c?cij nuu?,
who are knewn to everybody, and
whose caries appear in all social
records, who are more unsound in
mind than msny a man and woman who
has been sent to the insane asylum or
the Home for tho Feeble-Minded.
There is a mystery as to how many of
these queer people obtained a good
social footing, but they have it, and
hold it undisputed. I might detail
columns of their sajings and doings,
but I have only place for ono or two of
the most conspicuous cases. There is
one man who prides himself on being
the handsomes man in New York?and
he is indeed a fine specimen of the
genus homo. He not only is handsome,
and knows that he is handsome, but he
says he is handsome. 41 saw yon on
Fifth aveaue yesterday,'* said a friend.
"Yes, yes," was the drawling response,
"I was there; but I seldom walk?it is
so disagreeable having people turn
aboafc to stare at me."
TNar, rtai-a era /vwtnlrR nmonc the
women. There is one lady whose name
appears in every list of fashionable
people. It is a tine old name, but the
woman who bears it i3 eo eccentric that
she wonld not be tolerated for an instant
in place3 where she was not known.
She dresses like a gny. and behaves
worse than she cresses. It is said that
she often goes to parties nninvited?
and coolly walking np to the distressed
hostess. sr.vs : "I knew it was an over
sight? and here 1 am." This woman
thinks it quite proper to put her feet up
into a chair while making a call. Not
long 8go, while making a visit, she
knocked over sr.d broke a valuable vase
?one that hid cost some hundreds of
dollars- Instead of making an apology
or expressing regret, she said : "Well,
it's good enongh for them to lose their
vase; they had no business to put vases
about where they can get knocked
- " * r ?
j over." And tfcis woman, as x nave s&iu,
; goes everywhere, and is as well known
in the drawing-rooms of Murray Hill
j as Jay Gould is on Wall street. She is
eccentric to the last degree, but she has
a kind heait, i3 herself a delightful
hostess, and nobody seems to mind her
peculiar behavior cr extraordinary
speeches. People say, '-Well, it's only
Mrs. Blank''?as if the fact of her being

passing from Orenburg to Omsk, in
western Siberia, by sledge, a distance
of 1.D00 miles, went through numerous
villages in which marriage festivals
were being held. It was ja&t before the
long season of religious fasts, when it is
the custom of the young people there
to marry. In a score of villages
through which he passed weddings
seemed to bo the only occupation going
I on. Sledges, driven by wreath-crowned
i peasants, crowded to the fullest extent
j with girls of all ages, from six to thirty,
j ail singing -with unpleasantly high,
i screeching voices, pass back and forth
| along the village streets, or are driven
; in procession around the little wooden
j church. The older peasants, the relaj
fives of bride and bridegroom, stay inj
ti.le and get dead drank in honor of
i the occasion. This last would seem to

W!:at Our Ascextors Were.
; Ancient writers are agreed that the
j fashions in dress were carried to a great
j degree of extravagance between the
! twelfth and sixteenth centuries, and
i that in spite of the frequent and bitter
j denunciations cf the clergy. A certain
French monk, one Thomas Conecte, is
said to have fulminated against the
steeple headdress of the reign of the
Fourth Edward ; and so powerful was
the effect of his eloquence that the women
were wont to throw down their
iiuery upon tbe cflurcn floor ana maKe
a bontire of the same at the end of the
sermon. The zeal of the preacher extended
itself to the populace, and for
awhile when ladies appeared in this
headdress in public they were exposed
to be pelted by the rabble, and, slyly
adds the chronicler, the fashion disappeared
for some tiin9 ; but when
tbe preacher left the neighborhood "the
women who, like snails in a fright, had
drawn in their horns, shot them out
again as soon as the danger was over."
The coarser and more biting the satire
the less permanent effect it seems to
have had on tuo maids and matrons of
4-Vio Km a Ah "\fnrman Trn i cr n f?
introduced into the language most of
the terms expressive of elegance and
luiury, their ladies imported fine
clcthes into England, and, more hateful
in the sight of lecrarera on dress in
its relation to hygiene than the finest
of fine clothes, they first taught the
native women to wear stays. Not content
with confining their slender waists
in a kind of feminine armor, they
brought in long trains and sleeves of
enormous length, sometimes banging
down to the ground, or tied in knots a
little above the knee. To tho student
of historical pictures it must remain an
abiding mystery how the gallants of the
reign of good Queen Bess made any
thing but vocal love to the ladies of
their choice. What with hoops, stomacher,
stuffed petticoat, and ruff, the
fair ones appear to have been safe . -en
from the most chaste salute within the
impregnable fortress of the then prevalent
fashion. Oar great grandmothers

The Story of a Block of Coal.
From time to time individual trees
cied and fell to the earth; parts decayed,
but the more durable portions resisted
decomposition, and gradually covered
the surface with a layer of dead veereta
ble matter that was afterward to become
a seam of coal. Among the less perishable
parts were the bark, and notably
the spores, whose resinous nature kept
them dry ancl enabled them to delay the
action of water, that "sore delayer of
your dead body."
And now the machinei-y comes into
play by which this embryo coal-seam is
is to be sealed up and kept safe for use
on some far distant day. The land begins
to sink slowly, and a basin is formed
that catches the water of the rivers
which flow down from the surrounding
highlands. A lake arises, and into it
the stream rolla down mud and sand;
these are spread out in sheets and piled
up in banla on tho layer of dead plants;
still the land goes down, and more and
more sand ai;d mud is spread over the
bottom of tho water; now and again,
during heavy storms, the sea bursts
through the barriers that hold it back
and floods the area; and then, after a
while, the breach is repaired, and the
like becomes fresh again.
At length the sinkiDg of the land
stops, sandy shoals and banks of mud
rise from beneath the water and lift
their heads in every direction, till a
swampy flat is established day enough
to permit of the growth of a second
j ingle and the accumulation of the matsrials
for a second seam cf coal. After
a while sinking set3 in afresh, and our
escond coal bed i3 buried beneath piles
of sand and mud. And so the process
goes on; during each period of rest a
sheet of dead p!ate3 accumulates over
tii'* flat, and during the period of subsidence
which follows this is covered up
by deposits of mud and sand. The
weight piled over it compresses the
peaty sheet, and cliemical changes go
on which in the end turn it into coal.
Afterward earth-movements bring it Tip
from the depths to which it has be n
carried down, a portion of the rocks
which once covered it is stripped off by
the action of running water, ana it is
placed within the reach of maD.
But, when within his rcach, how was
it that man discovered that coal vonJd
burn? Possibly thus. There is in coal
a hard, yellow, brassy mineral, which
flies in the fire and not unfrequently
startles the circle that has gathered
round its checrfnl blaze. When exposed
to damp air this mineral undergoes
chemical change, and daring the
process heat is given out, sometimes in
sufficient quantity to set the coal alight.
In this way it occasionally happens that
seams of coal, when they lie near the
surface, take fire of tneir own accord.
One day a ravage on a stroll was startled
by finding the ground warm beneath
his feet, and by seeing smoke and sulphurons
vapors issuiDg from it. Ee
laid it first to a supernatural cause; but
curiosity getting the better of superstition,
he scraped away the earth to find
whence the reek came. Then he saw
a bed of black stone, loose blocks of j
which he had already noticed lying J
about, and parts of this stone were
smoldering, and as soon as air was admitted
burst into a blaze. That savage
little thought that he was laying the
foundation of England's commercial
greatness.? Good Words.
Swallowing Alligators,
It has long been a tradition in the
South that alligators swallow their
vonnc to set them out of danger, but
most people thought the story no more
credible than sailors'yams. A Southern
naturalist, however, says that he
has seen it: "That alligators swallow
their young I have had ocular demonstration
in a single case. I was en-1
gaged in making a survey on the bank:t1
of the Homochitto lake near the Missis - j
sippi river. The day was warm and
sunny, and as I halted near the margin
of a pond, nearly dried up, to pick up
shells, I startled a litter of voucg alligators

they passed in beyond my observation.
The dam turned slowly around and slid
down beneath the water and passed into
a large opening in the bank beneath
the root of an old aeh tree. Doubtless
this refuge is but temporary, and the

Shortened Life in the Hainan "Race.

country, an average of forty-two years,
so that there are grand agencies
at work which are reducing the
national life to a very low value. If the

leading to this rednced value of lire

T< ny Pastor ia Trouble.
Tony Pastor, of New York, who is now
with his inimitable variety combination,
making a tour of the principal cities of the
Union, is recognized as the leading character
vocalist and variety performer of the
United States He owns and runs a fiistclass
theater on Broadway, New York city,
and has gathered about him the best troupe
of variety artists that could be obtained
The company has just completed a brilliant
engagement at the Walnut Street Theater,
Philadelphia, and after the present tour
they will reappear in Tony Pastor's own
theat'-r in New York city. Mr. Pastor is
the originator of his peculiar school of
character singing, and has made himself
immensely popular, having realized by his
talents a large fortune.
The writer of this article'met Mr. Pa?tor
recently at the Bingham House, in Phila
delphia, and found him as genial in priv.ite
as he is amusing before the public. During
our conversation I inquired as to his physical
heilth, and he replied that, notwithstanding
the strain upon him in the discharge
of his professional duties, it was
excellent. He had occasional!*- severe
pains,either (he result of rheumatic attacks
or colds, but any complaints ol tiiat character
never troubled him long, as he had
found cut a remedy for all such annoying
affections. I asked him -what the remedy
was, and he replied, "St. Jacobs Oil." I
then learned from Mr. Pastor that he considered
the Great German Remedy an
excellent preparation for the cure or relief
of rheumatism, and that it was about the
only thing used among professional people
for that distressing complaint. He took
bottles oi it with him whenever he went
traveling, and would not be without it, and
knew that it wa3 very popular with a numb?r
of members of his own compsny. A
conversation held subsequently with various
members of the organization revealed

Nearly every artist in the troupe used it,
and was enthusiastic in its praise, and the
writer was really forced to the conclusion
that Tony Pastor was certainly in luck in
having so valuable an article known and
employed by his inimitably good company
of performers, for it enabled every one to
be always in his place, thus insuring comfort
to the managemenL_and genuine saii?
faction to the public. Tony factor would
certainly be in trouble without St. Jacob?

The skeleton of a woman with a child
has been discovered at Pompeii in a

the level of the ancient pavement. I.

79 A. D. commenced with a thick shower
of small pumice stones, by which the
streets of Pompeii were covered np to
the roofs of the houses. Stones were
succeeded by ashes, which became solid
owing to the action of successive showers
of boiling water; aod these ashe3
now form the top layer of the mate
rials which cover the rains of Pompeii.
Mc3t of the unhappy beings who remained
in the houses after the eruption
first reached the town made their escape
through the windows, but the
greater part of these fugitives could
have taken but a few steps, and must
have been quickly suffocated by the
poisonous fames.
With one arm the woman whose skeleton
has been fonnd was clasping the
Ippr of the child, whose bodv shows

contraction in the arms and Ic-gs and
a general emaciation, which led ns to
suppose that the child must have been
very ill. It was a little boy about ten
years of age. Doubtless the woman was
the mother of the child. Some jewels
found on the female skeleton indicated
a person of condition; two bracelets of
gold encircled the arm which he'd the

A HUM1NBAR03IETER.
The Real Relation betivcrn the Human Rody
and the Weather Scientifically Explained.
[.Scientific American.]
One of the most valuable dc\elopmenta of
modern science along the line of human ne-1
cessity is the National Weather Bureau at j
Washington. Experience has shovrn that j
eighty-six per cenr. of the predictions ot tnc
signal service are accurate; and these predictions
are unquestionably of the greatest advantage
to the seaman, the agriculturist and the :
en:ire commercial world. The eerviee has j
proven its necessity by its usefulness, for in j
past times the facilities" for foretelling atmospheric
chaDgea were meager indeed. The only
indications our fathers had of coming changes I
in the wea'her were achin? limbs, twitching j
joints or painful corns. These "indications," |
though crude, were usually correct, and hence
naturally fcuggest the inquiry as to the relation
between the human system and the
I n-^atVior Tim hodv is nnaue-tionablv an ex
cdlc-nt barometer. "it foretells. changes in the j
atmosphere Ion? before they occur, and this I
fact has been taken advantage of by physicians j
; who, when all other agencies fail, prescribe a j
j change of air, thus hoping the body may find ;
j an atmospheiic condition better suited "to its
needs. And yet tbe real relation between the
| human body and the weather has never been '
! .'ully understood, nor has there ever been, until I
now, a correct explanation of what rheumatism
(which seems in league with the atmosphere)
really is. It was originally thought by many
to bo" a trouble in th? joints, and as such wa3
treated in the most strange, not to say ridiculous
manner. This theory became dispelled
when the same trouble attacked the muscle*,
and the feo'ing then prevailed that it was
purely a muscular disorder. But this idea was
found" to bs too narrow, and now it is universally
conccded that rheumatism is a blood disease.
And what a terrible disease it is. It
often comes without warning and prostrates the
system with agony. Again its beginning is
gradual, and its growth slow. In its acute
form it manifests itself in every conceivable
shape and always accompanied by"intense pain.
At one time it is Inflammatory, at anoiner
neuralgic. Sometimes it assumes the form of
gout, and again that of pleurisy or lumbago;
but in whatever manner it appears it is terribly
painful and always to be dreaded. The pain
and annoyance of rheumatism are increased by
its great danger, for it is liable to attack the
brain or heart at any moment, thereby causing
instant death. Indeed, nearly every case of
heart disease with all its dreadful suddenness
which has ever occurred, can be traced more or
leas directly to rheumatic causes. In its chronic
form it stiffens the joints, contracts the muscles,
undermines the health and ruins the life.
It frequently attacks men and women who are
apparently in perlect health. Indeed, it is as
greatly to be dreaded as any possible form of
physical woe.
But, however severe its effects may be, the
exact canee of this blood trouble has been an
uauet'iueu queauuu, auu ii> ia uluy nnwu u?
past year that any decision upon the eubject
has been reached. In order to fully determine
what the cause of rheumatic disorders really
was, certain authorities sent letters of inquiry
from Washington to the leading practicing
physicians of the land, and these inquiries
were responded to quite generally, thus furnishing
data of great value to science and mac- i
kind. The views held by the doctors are of a
varied nature, but eo overwhelming a prcportion
hold to one belief as to leave but little
doubt that it is the correct one. This belief,
briefly stated, is that nric acid in the blooi
causes rheumatism, and that it is only by removing
this poisonous acid that rheumatic or
neuralgic troubles in all their terrible forms
can be cured. This being true, the important I
question arises: " How does this poisocoas j
uric acid get into tho blood, and Lot can it |
best be removed ?" Uric acid is a was'.e material
of the body which the Sidneys should
carry out, but because they are weakened they
cannot throw it from tho system, liestore the
kidneys and jou restore "the power that will
force the uric acid from the system and thus
banish tho rheumatic agonies which it causes.
This is reason; it is scienco. No one whoie
kidueys are iu a perfect condition was ever
troubled with rheumatism, and no rheumatic
sufferer, however slight ttie pain may be, h-is
perfect kidneys. The conclusion of this truth
is inevitable": perfect kidneys mean freedom
from rheumatism.
Whin rheumatism hrs manifested itself in
iny special part of tho body, attempts have
tin I?aai\ <% t rrti r t o h no rf nf thft
boJy. As a result the pain baa departed but
the disease has remained, lying subtly concealed
and ready to break out at souse unexpected
moment! Checking the paiu in any
siugle locality only scatters the disease through
the system, when*if the seat of the disorder,
which are the kidney-, were reached a complete
cure would be the result. Tne way, therefore,
to expel this rank and poisonous acid before it
assumes an inflammatory or chrbnic form is by
keeping the kidneys m absolute health. This
is no easy thing to do. and no means has, until
the pasi few years, been k^own whica would
successfully rcach and affect these great organs.
At last, however, scientists have discovered that
the leaves of a tropical plant, previously but
little known to science and unknown to medicine,
possessed marvelous qualities adapted for
tiie kidnevs. These leaves have been ckillfully
combined in the remedy now known as Warner's I
Safe Kidney and Liver Care. It is, up to the
present time, the only known preparation that
acts so directly upon the kidneys as to effectually
cure the various dangerous forms of kidney
disease, and hence remove all uric acid from
the blood. A9 a result the cures it has been tho
mean:! of performing are really very remarkable.
Indeed, there are tbou-an'ds of persons in
America to-day who owe their restoration in
health and entire freedom from rheumatism to
this simple yet powerful remedy, which is known
universally, manufactured in Rochester, N. Y.,
and sold in every drug store in the land.

acid in the blood is the cause of rheumatism,

removed. This is not, of course, always
accomplished instantly, for in a disease so
subtle, the euro is often very slow, but under j
no other plan can any hope "of permanent relief
ever be found. * There aro hundreds of
cases on record durinpr the present winter of !
persons afflicted uith rheumatic troubles of the j
worst order -who have been e:itir< ly cured by I
following the theory above stated and using
tho remedy mentioned* Many of tl:cse persons j
had the very worst possible symptoms. Vague j
aches in different portions of the lxxly were |
.'ol lowed by agonies the most intense in some j
particular spot. Acute and throbbing pains j
succeeded each other and the ccuraing poison- j
ous acid inflamed all the veins. Troubles which >
began with slight disorders increased to de- j
rangements the most serious. It is sad to i
think ihat all this suffering was ensured when j
it could have been so easily relieved. Acting j
under the theory and usins the remedy above j
mentioned the kidneys could liavo been restored |
:o their usual vigor, the uric poison expelled j
from the system, the inflammation removed j
and the paiu entirely banisiieci.
These are some of the real and scientific tacts j
regarding rheumatism, attested by the highest
authority and they are, beyond quc&tion, the j
only correct ones ever brought foith. We are j
aware they are advanced ideas, bat ten years j
hc-nce they will be the accepted belief and i
practice oi' the world. If people suffer from i
rheumatic troubles in the future and with these '
p:aiu truths beforo them, they certainly can j
blame no one but themselves.

i. Herd of Wild Cattle.
There is a gocd deal of similarity,
after all, between the indications of
untutored humanity and tho focr-legged
animals. When the agency policy
was introduced among tho Indians, s
Sitting Ball revolted against the inno- :
vation and took to the wilderness be- *
vend the control of the white man's a
domineering authority. There herded
about him the most savage and despe- i
rate element of the different tribes of j j
the country, they wandered around in I r
the unfrequented sections of the Yel- [ ;
lowstone region, and became more wild i "
and implacable the longer they stayed
out. Their village was called the Hostile
Camp, and a den of South African
beasts were no more savage and dangerous
to a white man caught in their jungles
than were these red outlaws. There ia
now a band of government cattle and j
mnles running at large on the game j \
ranges in the very country roamed over j \
by Sitting Bull and his hostiles.
They, like the Indians, broke away j j
at different times from the government I
herds, and banded together until now *
they are more wild and wary than the \
untamed buffalo. They number about \
eight hundred, including between forty \
and fifty mules. The band has been j
frequently seen by hunters in secluded !
and remote districts of the great wil- I
derne?s lying between the Bear-Paw

Horn raDges on the South. Sometimes,
very rarely, however, one or two be- I
come detached from the main herd, and J
in their bewilderment approach the |
settlement of the whites, and are shot. 1
One was recently captured by a butcher J
near Glendive. They are distinguish- <
able from other cattle by the brand. ]
Thus the undisciplined inclinations of t
man and beast is shown to be about J
the same, at least in the matter of i
herding together in the wilderness. J

Nature Demands a Tonle
TChen the nerves are unstrung, the head aches, |
the appetite is poor cr variable, the sleep dis- I
tnrbe'd, and a general depreciation of vital I
power is experienced. Such a state of things !
cannot long exist without the development of j
serious disease. The most active and genial i
invigorant known is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
The absolute purity of its epirituous *
basis and botanic ingre- ients gives it a per- ;
mtnent claim to public confidence, and its snrpassing
medicinal value is admitted by medical
men of distinction, by whom it is widely used '
in private practice. For fever and ag^ic?both
as a preventive and remedy?djsptp ia, liver
complaint, bilious remittent rcver, constipation,
cho eraic complaints, flatulence, and all in- 3
teatinal disorders, it is a thoroughly reliable *
remedy. It i-j the anti-febrile specific par excellence
of the malarial districts of this and
ether countries, where diseases born of miasma
nrprail. and as a general household remedy it
is also universa ISy esteemed.
