Something for Everybody.
Ashbuknham, Mass., Jnn. 14,1880.
Ihftve been very sick over two years.
They all gave me up as past cure. 1
tried the most skillful physicians, but
they did not reach the worst part. The
lungs and heart would fill up every
night and distress me, and my throat
was very bad. I told my children I
■ever should die in peace until I had
tried Hop Bitters. I have taken two
bottles. They have helped me very
much indeed. I shall take two more;
by that time I shall be well. There
was a lot of sick folks here who have
seen liow they helped me, and they
used them and are cured, and feel as
thankful as 1 do that there is so valu
able a medicine made. Yours,
Mrs. Julia G. Cusiiing.

I have used Beven bottles of Hop Bit
ters, which have cured me of a severe
chronic difficulty of the kidneys and
have had a pleasant effect on my sys

I write to inform you what great re
lief I got from taking your Hop Bitters.
I was suffering from neuralgia and dys
pepsia, and a few bottles have entirely
cured me, and I am truly thankful for
so good a medicine.
Mrs. Mattie Cooper.
Cedar Bayou, Texas, Oct. 28, 1879.
Hop Bitters Co:
I have heretofore been bitterly op
posed to any medicine not prescribed by
a physician of my choice. My wife,
fifty-six years old, had come by de
grees to a slow sundown. Doctors
failed to benefit her. I got a bottle of
Hop Bitters for her. which soon re
lieved her in many ways. My kidneys
were badly affected, and I took twenty
or thereabouts doses, nnd found much
relief. I sent to Galveston (or more, and
word enme bwik none in the market, so
great is the demand; but I got some
elsewhere. It has restored both of us
to good health, and wo are duly grato-
ftil. Yours, J. P. Maget.
New Bloomiyelp, Miss., Jan. 3, 1880.
Hop Bitters Co. :
1 wish to say to you that I have been
Buffering for the last five years witli a
severe itching all over. I have heard
of Hop Bitters and havo tried it. I
have used up four bottles and it has
done mo more good than nil the doc
tors and medicines that they could use
on or with mo. I am old and poor but
feel to bless you for such a relief from
your medicine and torment of the doc
tors. I havo had fifteen doctors at mo.
One gave me soven ounces of solution of
arsenic; another took four quarts of
blood from me. All they could tell
was that it was skin sickness. Now,
after these four bottles of) our medi
cine, my skin is well, clean and smooth
Rsovcr. Henry Knociie.
Milton, Del., Feb. 10, 1880.
Being induced by a neighbor to try
Hop Bitters, I am well pleased with it
as a tonic medicine, it having so much
improved my feelings, and benefited
my system, which was very much out
of tone, causing great feebleness.
Mrs. James Betts.
Kalamazoo, Mich., Fob. 22,1880.
Hop Bitters Mfo. Co. :
I know Hop Bitters will benr recom
mendation honestly. All who use them
confer upon them the highest en
comiums, and give them credit for mak
ing cures—all the proprietors claim for
them. 1 have kept them since they
were first offered to the publio. They
took high rank from the first, and main
tained it, and are more culled for than
all others combined. So long as they
keep up their high reputation for purity
and usefulness I shall continue to re
commend them—something I have
never before done with any other
patent medicine. J. J. Babcock,

‘•MILLIONS IN IT.”
Mark Twain on the tiotil-Bearina
Water—How He Worked the CnliHtoga
Spriiigi and What He Know* About
Wonderful Holri-lteariiis Wind.
Mark Twain writes to the New York
Evening Posl in reference to the reoent
account from California about gold in
solution in the Calistoga springs, and
about the proprietor having “ extracted
,060 in gold of the utmost fineness
from [ten barrels of the water ” during
the past fortnight by a process known
only to himself. “This,” Mark says.
will surprise many of your readers,
but it does not surprise me, for I once
owned those springs myself. What dors
rpriso me, however, is the falling-off
the richness of tho water. In my
me the yield was a dollar a dippcrful.
am not saying this to injure the prop
erty, in ease a sale is contemplated; I
am only saying it in the interosl of his
tory. It may be that this hotel proprie
tor’s process is on inferior one—yes, that
may be the fault. Mine was to tako my
uuclo—I had an extra uncle at that time,
necount of my parents dying nnd
leaving kim on my hands—and fill him
up, and let ltim stand fifteen minutes to
give tho water a chance to fettlo well,
then insert ltim in nn exhausted receiver,
which had the effect of sucking the gold
out through his pores. I have taken
more than eleven thousand dollars out
that old man in a day nnd a half. I
should have held on to those springs but
for ttie badness of the roads and the
difficulty of getting the gold to market.
consider that gold-yielding water in
many respects remarkable ; and yet not
more remarkable than tho gold-bearing
air of Catgut canon, up there townrd the
head ut the auriferous range. This air—
this wind—for it is a kind of a trade
wind which blows Bteadily down
through six hundred miles of rich
quartz croppings duting nn hour and
quarter every day except Sundays, is
ltoaviiy charged witli exquisitely fine
and impalpable gold. Nothing precipi
tates and solidifies litis gold so readily
as contact with human flesh lieated by
passion. The titno that William Abra
hams was disappointed in love, ho used
to step out doors when that wind wns
blowing and come in again and begin
to sigh, and his brother Andover J.
would extract over a dollar nnd a half
out of every sigh lie Bigltcd, right along.
And the time that John Ilarbison nnd
Aleck Norton quarreled nbout Harbl
son’s dog, they stood there swearing at
each other all they knew how—and
what they didn’t know about swearing
they could n’t learn from you and me, not
by a good deal—and at the end of evory
threo or four minutes they had to stop
and make a dividend—if they didn’t
their jaws would clog up so that they
couldn’t get tho big nine syllabled ones
out at all—and when tho wind was done
blowing they cleared up just a little over
sixteen hundred dollars apiece. I know
these facts to bo absolutely true, because
got them from a man whose mother I
knew personally. 1 did not suppose a
person could buy a water privilege at
Calistoga now at any price; but several
good locations along the courso of the
Catgut canon gold-bearing trade wind
aro for sale. Titty are going to be
slocked for the Now York market.”
LADIES’ DEPARTMENT.
Adelaide Pjoctor.
One day Charles Dickens, as he sat in
the office of All the Year Round, making
his way through tho mass of papers that
lay on his table, was attracted and sur
prised by the singular merit of some lines
which had been sent him. Such a dis
covery is always a refreshment to an
editor, as he wades among the slough of
manuscripts which surround him, and
he glanced eagerly at the name with
which the verses were signed. It was
“ Mary Berwick.” Dickens had never
before, to his knowledge, either heard
this name or seen it in print, but there
was the ring of true poetry in Mary
Berwick’s lines, be she whom site
might, and so they were inserted in the
next number of the magazine. Months
went on, and All the Year Round had
frequent contributions of Miss Mary
Berwick among its contents. Dickens,
however, knew simply nothing about
her, except that she wrote a legible
hand. Hint he always, by her
own wish, addressed all communi
cations to her to a certain cir
culating library in the west of London,
and that when he sent her a check, she
acknowledged it promptly, but in a very
shorl, matter cf fact way. At length,
one winter evening, when Dickens went
to dine with the Proctors, he happened
to putin his pocket, to show them, the
Christmas number of All the Year
Round, which was just coming out. He
called their attention especially to what
lie said was a very pretty poem by Miss
Mary',Berwick. The nuthor of "Pick
wick” remarked, to his astonishment,
that those simple words ol his were re
ceived by tho whole family with much
suppressed merriment. He could not
in tho least make out what wns in the
wind, but he took it good-nnturedly,
supposing it to be 3omc homo Christmns
joke, and asked no questions. Next day
the mystery of the unaccountable mirth
of last night was clenrod up In a letter
from Barry'Comwall to Dickens. . Mary
Bcrwiok was Adelaido Proctor. And
from that time forward, Miss Proctor
took an acknowledged place among
English poetesses.—The Argosy.
THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Nevada’s Natural Phonumona.
Nevada is a land of curious natural
phenomena. Her rivers havo no visible
outlet to tho ocean. Site has no lakes
of any magnitude. She has vast
stretches of alkali deserts, however, that
give every indication of having boon the
beds or bottoms of either sens or lnkes
Down in Lincoln county thero is a
spring of ice-cold water that bubbles up
Over a rock and disappears on the other
side, and no one has been able to find
whPre the water goes. At ar.othe
point in the same county is a larg
spring, about twenty feet square, that i
apparently only sorao eighteen
twenty inches in depth, with a sandy
bottom. The sand can be plainly seen
but on looking closer itis perceived that
this sand is in a perpetual state of un
rest. No bottom has ever been found
to this spring. It is said that a team
ster, on reaching this spring one d>iy
deceived by its apparent shallowness
concluded to soak one of his wagon
wheels to cure the looseness of its
lire. He therefore took it off
and rolled it into the, as he
thought, shallow water, lie ncvei laid
his eyes on that wagon wheel again
Our mountains are full of caves and
caverns many of which have been ex
plored to a great distance. Speaking of
caves, a redeo wns held last spring over
in Huntington valley. During its pro
gross quite a numbor of cattle wer<
missed and for a time unavailing search
was mnde for them. At last they wen
traced to the mouth of a natural tunnel
or cave in the mountain. The herder
entered the cave, and following it for
long distance, at lust found the cattle
It appears that they had probably
entered the cave, which was very nar
row, in search of water. It lma finally
narrowed so that they could proceed no
further. Neither could they turn around
to get out. They had been missed some
days, and if they had not been found
must inevitably have perished in a short
time. As it waa they were extracted
from their predicament witli difficulty
by the herders squeezing past and get
ting in front of them aud scaring them
into a retrograde movement by flapping
their hats into the faces of the stupid
bovines.— Eur.ki Leader.
M. Joseph Nimmo, Jr., chief of the
United States bureau of statistics, has
just made a showing which indicates
that the United States would not gain
very great commercial advantages by the
completion of tho proposed Panama
canal. The value of the commodities
transferred from New York to San
Francisco, and from San Francisco to
New York, via Panama, for the year
1869 was $70,202,029, against $4,947,755
for the year 1879. The trade between
all Atlantic ports and Pacific ports of
the United States by way of Cape Horn
lias correspondingly decreased. Mr.
Nimmo also points out that the trade
between San Francisco and other ports
on the Pacific slope and Chicago, St.
Louis and other cities of the Mississippi
valley would not be at all affected by the
proposed canal.
"Umar" Futilon Holes.
Gilt stitching nnd cashmere-colored
tinsel work arc used to head rows of
creamy lace on soft mull kerchiefs.
Squares of jotted net will bo worn in
handkerchief shape around the neck in
the street, instead of the long scarfs of
black lace.
Lovely pointed collars entirely of jet
beads, finished witli jet fringe, arc Bhown
to wear with black dresses. Cashmere-
colored beads mounted in the same way
are also imported, and Berve as a gay
finish for simple dresses.
New veils of black net have dots ns
large as a pea wrought with gilt threads,
wlii.c others have pea dots of chenille—
black, red, white, or else old gold. Rod
net with tiny dots is also shown for
veils. Grenadine veils of dark color
have chenille dots of tho shade of the
grenadine.
New cravat bows aro made of tho gay
Madras plaid Surah. Instead of a strap,
a pearl pin holda.tlie two lnrge loops of
the bow at tho top, while below this is
a sailor knot finished with two pointed
handkerchief corners. This Is worn
with a round collarette made of three
frills of the new Alcncon lace that is
tinted crcnm in color.
The single narrow balayeuse flounce
added at the foot of the skirt will re
main a favorite finish for winter cos
tumes. At presont it is laid in small
box plaits, instead of the fine knife-
plaiting used last year. It is made of
the silk or satin used for the dress or for
its trimming, and is a finger deep, cut
straight across the goods; it is lined
throughout with crinoline, or else wig-
gin of fine quality, with less stiffness
than that used for facings. The silk is
turned up half an inch on the wrong
side, the box plaits are an inch wide,
and the top of the flounce is sewed to
the bottom of the skirt with a cording
of silk, making a seam between the silk
and the dress facing.
Largo collarettes and fichus of round,
straight, and square shapes are shown,
as well a3 those that are three-oornered,
or pointed in regular fichu fashion. A
great deal of shirring is one of the new
features of these articles lor the neck,
and this is done not only on white and
creamy mull muslin, but on colored
mull in heliotrope, pink, lilac, and pale
blue sltados. Some white satin is also
introduced, aud ivory satin ribbons are
used for the square and long-looped
bows that adorn the collar. Still another
novelty is silk muslin in dark change
able colors, which is shirred in scarfs
and trimmed with lace. Old gold with
blue and heliotrope colors make pretty
changeable tints for this soft fabric.
A kind of Chinese crape with incised
figures is new for cravat bows and col
larettes in white and creamy tints. The
large Directoire collars with notched
revers and the full frills worn by Sara
Bernhardt, with a liny square bow on
tho left side of the nock, are stylish de
signs for satin and lace collars; colored
velvet with beaded trimmings is also
employed in the same way. The effort
seems to be to heap as much material ns
posssible around the neck, and this is
often done irregularly that the sides
differ, and two or three designs are com
bined in one. For instance, one of the
richest novelties has first a white satin
collar large enough lor a shoulder cape,
and on this is mounted a Directoire
revers collar of silk muslin, with three
frills of plaited Languedoc lace, held oo
the left side by an ivory satin bow.
Care of Dnlry fowl.
Dairy cows, says lbe Chicago Times,
require a large amount of care, and if
they do not receive it they will fail to
be profitable. They demand more to
eat than other kinds of stock, as much
of the food they consumo is employed in
the production of milk. If the supply
of food is stinted, the yield of milk will
bo lessened, for the ordinary waste ol
the system will be provided for whether
milk is seoreted or not- It is not enough
to allow dairy cows tho range of a good
pasture. This may afford sufficient
food, and it may net. The growth of
grass depends very largely on I lie season.
If it is quite dry, the growth of grass
will be small. If it is very wet, tho
grass may be abundant, but it will be
wanting in (lie elements necessary to
produce sweet, rich milk. Where
several dairy cows are kept on a farm
there should always be provision for
supplying them with food, when feed in
the pasture is short. Corn fodder,
raised by sewing Lite seed broadcast or
by planting in drills, is one of the best
substitutes lor grass. In footling late in
the season, cabbages and pump
kins are excellent. Even if the
feed in the pasture is abundant
and excellent, it is best to give milch
cows some other kind of food if a large
yield of milk is expected. Cornmeal,
bran and shorts are all economical to
feed in connection with grass. Many of
the best dairv farmers in the West as
well as in the East give their cows grain
in some form, even whon the feed in the
pasture is in the be9t condition. They
find that the largest profit comes from
high feeding. Most kinds of cattle may
get along very well if they aro allowed
water once a day and salt once a week,
but cows giving milk should have access
to good pure water at all times, and
have an opportunity to taste salt evory
day. Cows should never bo allowed to
fall off in supplying on account of a
lack of sufficient nnd suitable food. In
sufficient lood may cause a cow to give
two quarts of i ,n less than sho gave a
few days pic ms. If an.ample supply
of food bo turn afforded, the former
yield of mi k will not be restored. Co ws
should be milked at regular periods, and
if possible by the same persons during
tho entire season. They shculd be
treated with kindness on all occasions,
and every pninB taken to socuro quiet and
the means of rest and comfort.

In a book printed at Salamanco in
1631, on “The Business of the Saints in
Heaven,” the writer asserted that the
redeemed “shall swim like fishes and
sing as melodiously as nightingales, and
delight themselves in masquerades,
feasts and ballads.”
A New York firm has invented a tor
pedo to frighten the harmless necessary
cat. It is said that the torpedoes make
a louder report than a gun. They would
have to make a much louder report
than a gun, to be nudible in the midst
of a Thomas concert.
It is a great error with farmers not to
use more vegetable manures. They have
here all the elements of fertility, nnd in
better proportion than can otherwise be
obtained. Where heavy manuring is
not rcqu.reJ, the better way is[to sow
stubble la id, without plowing, as soon
ns the spring crop is removed, harrow
ing well, Any Btrong growing plant
may be grown. Let what weeds there
aro also grow, the whole to be turned
down in the fall.
Rye may be] sown, nnd a furth<r
growth given it in the spring before
turning down. This is an excellent
grain for this purpose. Tiien there are
pons and clover, cheaply grown witli
plaster, the former allow ingjjtwo pood
crops to be turned down in a season,
greatly ameliorating the soil. These
have been tried, and nre reliable. Buck
wheat is also a large yielder, and im
proves the soil by shading aud suppress
ing weeds, ltyo is well ndaptod for
green manuring on sandy soil. Corn
yields an immense amount of material
to turn under. Some fields bear heavy
ro wtln of weeds, like the daisy,
Canada thistle, and a cloudjot coarse
grasses in a wet season, all which, in
stead of being the nuisance they aro
usually considered to be, may be turned
down with decided benefit.
By far the greater portion of our land
requires this kind of treatment. We see
its effact most wh are mixed farming is
practiced (the dairy or grazirg beiDg
tho principal branch), and among
fanners who make thorough wo k,
whose motto is “sod for mnnure”—rot
a few scattered fibers in the ground, but
a thick network of roots, showing un-
m sta'cably that the crops that produced
suohsod were abundant in yield. Now
such wealth of soil will produce, with
out additional fertility,J«two Her more
crops of grain as]ueavy, under favorable

Vegetable manure as a corrector of
the soil, is notonly highly valuable and
necessary to the highest success, but the
only me ins we have of successfully and
extensively improving the texture of
the soil. All soilsroquire it except low,
peaty land. Especially is it beneficial
to the two extremes of clay and sand,
giving mellowness to tho one nnd a re
tentive character to tho other, deepen
ing the color of each by the neeessay
humus they lacked, favoring also the
capacity for mo ! s nre, so necessary in
our climate, t i sj much required by

Recipes*
Apple Custard.—Two eggs, six
tablespoonfuls sugar, one cup cream;
beat the mixture thoroughly and flavor
strongly with lemon, unless some other
flavoring is preferred. Then take a tea-
cupful of stewed apples, mash them,
and add them to the other ingredients;
make crust and bake same as egg cus-
ards. They are delicious.
Preserved] Citron .—Boil the cit ron
in water until it is clear and soft enough
to be easily pierced with a fork; take
out, put into a nice syrup of sugar and
water, and boil until the sugar lias
penetrated it. Take out and spread on
dishes to dry slowly, sprinkling severa
times with powdered sugar, and turning
until it is dried enough. Pack in jars or
boxes with sugar between the layers.
To Boil a Ham.—Scrape and wash
carefully in plenty of cold water. Put
to cook in boiling water enough to cover
it entirely, hock tend up; let it remain
on the front of the stove till the ham
begins to boil; then put it back and let
it simmer steadily for three hours. Take
It off the fire and let the ham remain in
elated the kindness of the child, but took
the can and chucked it into another
neighbor’s garden. In half an hour that
neighbor sent it home. Then he deter
mined to got rid of it anyhow, and he
took it to the depot the next day and
threw it into the freight yard.
Then he went inti tho depot for a
minute, and on returning to his car
found Borne one had picked up the can
and left it for him. Quite exnsperated,
lie chucked into an empty car that was
just being hauled away toward Chicago,
and he didn’t see it again until the next
day, when it arrived in an express pack
age on which he had to pay seventy-five
cents. Then he tore around prodig
iously, and tied it to a dog’s tail and the
dog ran off with it, nnd this was an un
lucky move, for half nn hour later the
dog’s owner brought the can back and
tried to thrash Mr. Brick for abusing
his dog, the result being arrest and fines
Then Brick waa thoroughly aroused,
and lie took tho can and sunk it off a
dock. The next day when ho entered
his ear there stood something done up in
a paper that he kucw to be his can, nnd
he kicked it sixty feet intv the air, and
had to pay thirty dollars for the valu
able bird in the c.igc.
Tlion he felt sure that ho was rid ol
tho tiling, but a diver htfypened to find
it nnd got thumped on the hoad for re
turning it. Then Brick took the cn
home, nnd at night filled it with dynn
mitt i.nd exploded it. The people in
the neighborhood, who were violently
nurled from their bods by the shock,
wtro quite indignant, and when they
found out what caused it they attempted
to tar and leather Brick, and he had to
pay a heap for repairing tho windows
wrecked. And to ndd to his horror he
found lie had taken, instead of the can
lie detested, a new one, and ho was about
wild, and concluded that he never
should get rid of the thing. But on<
day lie induced some one to borrow it,
and he lias never seen it since

Cats have fared very differently in
different countries. In Egypt in nneient
times they were worshiped, nnd in Tur
key the people, mindfnljof Mohammed’s
pronounced pnrtinlity for the anima 1 ,
have ever since treated-, cats with dis
tinguished consideration. On the otliei
hand they were in the middle ages regard
ed in France as fiends incarnnte, a view
of ttiem not seldom taken here; and in
Puris on St. John's day there was n feline
holocaust,when sacks and baskets full ol
cats were brought to the center of the
Place de la Greve, where the sovereign
put a torch to the piles of wood amici
which they were burnt alive. Tho last
sovereign who took part in this cere
mony wns the Grand Monarque himsel r .
Cardinal Richelieu was much addicted
to cats, and had an Angora, his con
stant companion, on which he lavished
the tenderest caresses, while Colbert had
half a dozen around him; but the affec
tion entertained by these eminent men
or cats in particular does not seem to
have prompted them to intercede to save
the Parisian pussies iu general from a
hideous death.

The fish in the lake of Ilopango were
killed and cooked in January last. There
was a series of earthquakes, the waters
rose violently, and then three mountain
peaks shot up, the central one attaining
a height of ninety feet above the water |
level, and belching flames so fiercely
that the boiled ba9s and catfish floated
dead to the shore.
