The administration of n brisk purgative, or a small dose of Ep som salts, twice a day, is a most effectual remedy for frontal hwulaehe when com bined with constipation-, but if the bowels be regular, the morbid processes on which it depends seem to be checked, and tho headache removed more en'octu ally by nitrohydrochyrio acid or by al kalies, giv n before meals. If the head ache bo immediately above tho eyebrows the acid is best; but if it bo a little higher up, just where the hair begins, the alkalies nppenr to be moro effectual. At the samo time that the headache is romoicd, tho feeling of sleepiuess and weariness which frequently loads the patients to complain that they rise up more tired than they lie down, generally disappears. Chilly Sleeping Rooms. An errone ous idea seoiiis to prevail m regard to the healthfulness of our sleeping apart ments. It is often asserted that they should be cold in order to bo healthy. In alludiuj to this a medical journal states that a moderato amount of heat is needed in winter timo. There is no ad vantage in going to bed in a cold room, nor in sleeping in a cold room, nor iu getting up and dressing in a cold room. Persons may survive it; may have lost health by it. To have the chill taken.off the air on going to bed, and when dress ing, is comfortable and healthful. A room under forty-five degrees is a cold room for a sleeping apartment, and sleeping in an indoor atmosphere lower than that is always hurtful and positively pernicious, for the simple reason that such a temperature causes the carbonic acul gas of a sleeping apartment to con dense and settlo in tho lower part of the room, where it is breathed into the luugs, with all its pernicious results. Farm Hint. A hog should never be fattened for food without being fed on charcoal to purify the meat. It is on assertion. tnat with plenty of salt and charcoal hogs would never be affected with cholera and trichinae. In a portion of Denmark, where one fifth of tho land is cultivated to clover, the vitality of the seed is tested by placing a quantity on a knife blade, and heating it over a lighted candle. The good seed will pop open and pop off, while the worthless remains and carbon izes on the blade. A Missouri farmer, while admitting the value of other grasses aud clover, thinks red top is the best grass for summer pas turage. He claims that it will stand drought better than blue grass. It is well adapted to tenacious clay soils, and will thrive on wet lauds better than most varieties. E. S. Dyer, of Vermont, says he once raised thirty-two pounds of Early Kose potatoes from four ounces of seed, but itinWea mnmu' extl'agantly, spading How to Work. The American Aarieiilfuriut antra. Ac order is kept by having a place for every thing, and keeping everything in its place, so work succeeds best when it is rightly done, and at the right time. I here is a best and a worst way of doing everything, and a best and a worst time for doing it. One who has well consid ered his season's work and has a list of all that has to be done will go right; one labor will succeed another with regu larity, and each will bo well dope. Every ob should tell. There should be no making holes aud filling them up again on a farm, no hand-work where machines can bo used ; no small weedsloft to grow large ; no manure kept wasting by the ram or baked in the sun while crops are starring for it ; no work done twice over; 110 cattle starved or allowed to suffer and fail, to bo restored at a greater cost than they are worth; everything should bo ahead, and work must be driven and not allowed to drive. The head must guido tho hands always. IIoiiNclioliI Hint. To Remove Paint from Clothino. Equal parts of turpentine aud spirits of ammonia will take out tl from any kind of clothing, no matter how old and dry and hard it may be. Haturato tho spot with the liquid, per haps two or three times, till the paint is Bof t, then wash out all with soap suds. Con; Cakes "Without Eggs. Three cups of buttermilk, three of corn meal, one of wheat flour, one tablespoonful of salt, two of sugar, one level of soda; dissolve the last three ingredients in water, stir all together; if the meal swells too much to spread nicely, add more water. Graham Muffins. Three pints of flour, half a teacup of sugar, the same of shortening, a teaspoonful of saleratus, two teaspoonfuls cream lartar, salt to taste; rub all together with the hands; moisten with cold water; bake in muffin lings half an hour in a hot oven.

A correspondent, describing the ap pearance of the Rev. Henry Ward Beeiher on the witness stand, says : At times his deep bass intonation resounded over the court, then the emphatio voice quivered with pathos, then it trembled and broke with emotion; again, he mimiced the pompous theatricality of Tiltou, and so ho reproduced all the varied styles of the characters who ap peared in their different modes. He tore up a scrap of paper and flung it on the floor to illustrate how Tilton had torn and dashed down the so-called con fession of his wife. He fumbled in his pocket to show how Moulton once fum bled for a key. He crossed his arms to nhow how Mrs. Tilton lay in hod, and so a, Fighting a Tarantnla. A dog is the hunter's usual companion but in tropical countries a sportsman finds use for cats, it seems, and for something beyond rat-catching, too. I had a pair of jet black, yellow eyed cats, twin brothers, of vory large size, wliich followed me whon I walked around my grounds, and they usually accom panied me when I hunted the Texan hares on the adjacent mesquito prairio, or when I angled in my fishing boat on the Colorado river. They were very much attached to me, and commonly sot near or slept under my chair or table when I was reading or writing. They possessed unusual intelligence, and I had taught them a variety of amusing tricks. They were as useful to me in my war upon the tarantulas, as a pointer that I had was in my contest with tho snakes, although the spiders wore not bo numerous or dangerous as the copperheads. One day I was sitting in a passage between two rooms of an unfinished house, upon which the carpenters were at work, carelessly leaning back against the wall, reading while the cats were ly ing near mo, on tho rockpavement wliich formed the floor of the passage. Ono of them sprang suddenly, and gave mo a sharp blow upon the side of my knee, which attracted my notice slightly; but as they often did something of the sort to induce me to lay aiido my book when they wished me to give them water, or to piay wmi tnem, 1 Uid not pay particu lar attention to it, and resumed my reading. Soon one of them leaped three or four feet in the air, and struck me on the shoulder, aud instantly the other sprang almost as high as my head, and knocked a huge tarantula from the collar of my coat, which fell heavily upon the pave ment. It immediately "made battle" by facing the cats aud raising its tyo iorn legs at tnem, ana tiireateunig tliem witii a uispiay ot its langs. I did not interfere with the fioht. knowing that the cats understood how to conduct it. They quickly separated, and one confronted the enemy, while the other placed himself iu tho rear. When the spider made a furious but in effectual spring at the one which faced it, tho other behind gave it a sharp pat upon the head with its paw, which paralyzed it. I then took it up with a pair of tongues, and placed it upon the top of a conical hill of the useful insectivorous yellow ant of western Texas, wliich is very dif ferent from the grazing ant, for which it is often mistaken by ignorant or unob serving peoplo, and which is a pest to horticulture. Myriads of these insect eaters soon covered the black, hairy carcass, and disappeared,with it in their subterranean vaults, where I suppose it was added to their winter stores. A Pumpkin Story. A Paris market gardener had a patch of pumpkins in his lot. He gave him self little heed about his pumpkins, see ing them thrive and swell day by day. Last .September it occurred to him that the fruit must be nearly ripe, and at early morning he went to examine. The first pumpkin startled him ; some hand as patient as malignant had inscribed upon it his opinion that M. Bernard, the gardener, was, in fact, something wliich no gentleman would desire to be. Dur ing the pumpkin's tenderest ago of inno cence had these words been traced, aud they had grown with, its growth, retail ing their calumny larger aud larger every day. M. Bernard turned up another, and found a like inscription. Every pumpkin in the plot bore its libel. Fu rious, the market gardener sought his enemy and served him with a summons. The caso caine on for trial, but there was a want of proof. One of tho witnesses cited, after listening attentively to tho course of evidence, perceived on a sud den what it was all about, and exclaimed, innocently: "Why, it was I who scratched the pumpkins." Promptly he found himself in tho dock. Counsel for the defense argued that there had been no publication of tho libel, such as is contemplated by the law. The court, however, decided otherwise, since the garden was proved to hare no hedge auout it, aiui uie pumpkins had for months exposed their calumnies to any one who chanced to look at them. And so tho engraver of vegetables was con demned to iilO fine. A Matrimonial Agreement. The following copy of uu agreement, prepared in 1810,- by a woman who wanted to live happily with her trouble some husband, is published in the Knox- ville J'rena and Herald: , You do solemnly swear that you never will beat nor cus or abuse me without grater provication than I have given you; that you will not debar me from going to see my connections and neighbors when opportunity permits, nor them from coming to my amusement or assis tance in sickness nor health; that you will not be against going with me to meeting or for me to go on the same terms.; that you will never throw up what has been passed in angier; that you will provide house room handy to water and stay thare; that you will not move me put of the settlement without I am willing to go; that you will provide things to work on au with; that you will not treat me with the hard hip, flout or wound my feelings as you have done, but perform the duties of husband, uud try for a living in peaco on all sides. I do most solemnly swear that I will not throw up what has been passed iu angier; that I will not flout nor wound your feelings without cause; that I will per form the duty of a wife as far as health au' reason will . admit. I will treat you with kindness while you do me, and try for a living in peace on all sides. A Spell. This spelling school furore has been of great help to at least one Detroiter. Ho has been courting a girl for three years past and hadn't tho courage to speak his mind. As they were seated on the sofa the other night she referred to tho spelling school excitement and added : "Matrimony is an awful long word to spell, isn't it ?" He leaned over, grasped her hand, and the next morning ho had arrangements made to be married on the Fourth of July. Correct. When a man hands an editor an article for publication, and asks him to " fix it up " because he " wrote it in a hurry" and "hadn't time to re vise it," you may know that he com menced the article directly after supper, and wrestled with it until midnight, re writing it fourteen times, destroying a quire of foolscap, 'and "blessed" his pen every two minutes. That's the way they generally write an article when they are "in a hurry" and have "no time to revise it."

Spllklns and tho Grangers, Sortie- two months ago Mr. and Mrs. Bpilkins, at the close of one of their lively Masonic conversations, agreed upon a compromise, which was that they should both join the Grangers. Bpilkins, however, with thot gallantry for which he is so distinguished, and, as he said, to prove his good faith in the matter, proposed that Mrs. 8. shonld join first, and nr that way become enabled in turn to participate in his initiation. His wife jumped at the idea, but stipulated, that as it might be embarrassing for her to go through alone, she would like to havo her widowed sistar, Mrs. Stickwitz, join the order with her, if possible. Bpilkins readily acceded to this, aud shortly af terward the two ladies' applio ition for membership went in. In due time they were elected and ordered to present themselves for initiation. On that event fid night the noblest side of Bpilkins' character Bhone forth. He got supper, washed tho dishes, put tho children to bed, and sat up till two o'clock in the morning, waiting for the ladies to get home. When they did come an air of awful mystery pervaded their de meanor. Bpilkins didn't exactly like it. ana thought it augured badly, but ho kept still nnd waited his turn. A week later, au ominous silence on the subject having been meanwhile observed by Mrs. S., Bpilkins mildly suggested that now would bo a good time, so he thought, to send in his . application. Mrs. 8. looked at him and laughed. " It will be 1 1 no avail, Leandor," shereplied. "And why not, my love?" inquired Bpilkins, great drops of perspiration starting from his brow as the situation faintly dawned upon him; "why not, my love ?'" " Be cause, sir," replied Mrs. Bpilkins, "Sis ter Arr.minta and I will black-ball you. sure as fate. " Then, for the first tinif , apuiuns discovered he unci been checL mated.

Patent Medicines. mat there are some good patent medicines no intelligent man dare for a moment deny; and pre-eminent is the great California hero medicine, Vine gar Bitters, discovered by Dr. J. Walker, a prominent physician of San Francisco. This medicine, olthouph called bitters, is not to be classed pmoug the vile "fancy drinks" recommended and sold over the bar by rum-venders, but i3 a comuinauon oi pure herbalistic ax tracts, known to possess sterling medi cinal qualities, and is compounded with out the use m any shape of spirits. Its action upon the internal system is not stimulating to the extent that alcoholic poison is, but it at once attacks blood impurities, and by removing the original cause destroys the germs of disease and invites returning health. Its action upon tho stomach and liver renders it an al most certain specific iu the most stub born cases of dysp psia, and iu truth imparts new lifo and vigor to the whole system. It is one of the boat medicines ever invented.

Com. Imports nnd Exports. Previous to the war the exnorts of tho United States had, as a normal state of things, exceeded the imports, the excess on this. account during the ten years be tween 1851 and 18G0 having amounted to an average sum of 86,000,01)0 annually. After the war the balance was largely the other way the imports were in ex cess of the exports. Iu tho five years, 1808-1872, inclusive, the excess amounted on an average to 44.000,000 annually, while in 1872 it grew to gl 10,000,000. " Saved Litigation.

"But I'll not tak' it," cried the stout old litigant, and turn ed his face resolutely to tho wall. Haud on Chicaoo. A St. Louis paper sa -s : Storey, of the Chicago Thiirx, is iu jail at last.

Walker's Ciilifornia Vin egar DHtcrs nro a purely Vcgctablo preparation, mado cbiolly from tlie na tive herbs found on the lower ranges of tto Sierra Nevada mountains-of Califor nia, tho medicinal properties of which aro extracted therefrom without tho uso of Alcohol. Tho question is almost daily asked, What is tho causo of tho unparalleled success of Vixeoau Hit teksI" Our answer is, that they remove tho cause of disease, and the patient re covers his health. They are tho great blood purifier nnd a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator nnd Invigorator of tho system. Never beforo in tho history of" tho world lias a medicine been compounded jiossessinir tho rnninrknblo qualities of Viskoar Uittkiih in hciilinct tho ick of every disenso imin is heir to. They are a gentlo riirirntive ns well ns a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Orb'iius in Bilious Diseases The properties of Dn. Walker's Viskoar Uittkhs nro Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious. Laxative, Diuretic, Sedativo, Countcr-Iiritunt Sudori lie, Altera tive, and Anti-Ttilious. Grateful Thousands proclaim Vnr. Bgar Bitters the most wonderful In vigorant that ever sustained tho sinking system. No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain hong unwell, provided their bones aro not de stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Iliiious, Remittent and Inter mitteilt Fevers, which are so preva lent in the valleys of'tsjr great rivers throughout the United Stales, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohrcv Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee. CumberlnnflV.rkan- sas, lied, Colorado, Brazos, Kio Gnsndo, Fear, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, anoko, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout out entire country during the Summer nnd Autumn, and remarkably so during sea sons of unusual beat nnd dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive do rangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow erful infiueuce upon theso various or gans, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for tho purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily removo tho dark colored viscid matter with wliich tho bowels are loaded, at the sanio timo Btiirmlating tho secretions of tho liver, nnd rnnirnllv vpstnviniT thn licaltliv functions of the digestive organs. Fortify tlie body against diseasn by purifying all its fluids with Vixkgah Bitters. Is'o epidemic can tako hold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, rrcarl nche, Pain in tho Shoulders, Cough?, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness. Monr Eructations of tho Stomach. Bad Taste in tho Mouth, Bilious Attacks, l'alpita tation of the Heart, Inflammation of tho Lungs, Pain in tlio region of tho Kid neys, and a hundred other painful symp toms, nro the oll'springs of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better g'uarunteo of its merits than a lengthy uuvcrtiso rrenu Scrofula, or King's Evil, winto Swellings, Uleors, Krysipeias, Swi-ili-d Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous InlSaiumitliona, Indolent Inflammations, ifereuiiiil Ahi-rlioua, OU Sores, Eruptions of tlio Sldn, Sore J'vos, etc. In these, a in nil other cuuHiitutiimal Dis eases, "Walker's Vi.nkoak UirrKus hava shown their great curative powers in tlio most obstinate and intractable eases. For Iniianiniatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys nml Bladder, these Bittera linve no cnunl. SucU Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases. Persons en gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Typo-setters, Gold-beaters, nnd Miners, as they advnnco iu lifo, aro subject to paralysis of tlie Bowels. To guard against this, take a dose of Walker's Vin egar Bitters occasionally. For SKin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet ter, Salt-Klieum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, PUstnles, Boils, CaVbuiK'les, King-worms, Scald-head, Sore Byes, Erysipelns, Jteh, Scarfs, Discolorations of tho Skin, Humors and Diseases of tho Skin of whatever natno or nature, are literully dug up and carried ont of the system iu a blioi t time by the use of these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other "Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. Xo system of medicine, no vermifuges, no nn tnelminitics will free tho system from worms like these Bitters, For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or tangle, at the dawn of wo manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is coon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Wood when ever yon find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and blnggish in the veins j cleanse it when it is UUl ; your feelings will teil vou when. Keep U-e blood pure, and the health of the syBtem will follow. h. ii. Mcdonald & co., - XrrngfrUts nnd Qon. AgU., San Frnnciseo. California, m oor. of Washington and Clinrlton St., N. Y.
