TosMng upon a Bed of Agony, Tortured in every Joint with inflammatory rheumatism, is a piwnect which m*y become a melancholy fact if tne twinges of the dread disorder are not cht eked at the on* set. Per sons <fa rheumatic tendency flud Hostetters Stomach Bitters a useful reme IT, nor do they enoounter the risk in us ng it they do from resorting to that aotive poison Colcbicum, which is often employed to arrest the ma'adv. The use of the Bittern is equally as effective in its resuPs, and Is attended with no risk. There is ample testimony to prove that the medicine poesesse< blood 'depurating qua iti s of no common order, besides those of a tonic and general alterative. It stimulates the ac tion of the kidneys aud promotes the removal from the system of impurities wh.ch develop disease, and are ft aught wi'h senous danger. Fever and ague, dysiwps a. de' i'ity, nervous ness, ooustipation, fco., are remedied by it. London, London is a vast world in itself. Von are impressed when you find yourself in it, with its immensity; as one is impressed by the vast reach of the ocean when lie steams over it, day after day without a glimpse of land, or the sight, perhaps, of a single sail. You feel like amero atom IU this vast bil lowy tide of human life. Cut np into smaller communities London would make a dozen cities equal in population to New York, Brooklyn, Boston, Philadelphia, Bal timore, Washington, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, New Orleans and San Francisco: It contains more people than our six populous New England States more than the whole kingdom of Denmark, more thah twice as many as Norway, nearly as many as all Scotland. It is said to contain more Jews than Palestine, more Catholics than Rome, more Irishmen than Dublin, more Scotchmen than Edinburg. There are omnibuses running across the city, by as straight a route as its cow-path streets allow, which start before five o'clock in the morning and barely make two round trips before midnight. And year by year the great city pushes out its borders, en compassing village after village of the out lying suburbs in its spider web of pave ments, and water mains, and omnibuses and busy traffic. The viiias around its fringes, as Hare pays, seem to be constantly making an effort to get into the countiy and never succeeding. Many neighborhoods in the solidly built city, still bear the names by which they were known when they were only little hamlets in the fields, miles from the city gates —such as Chelsea, Ken sington, Camberwell, Bayswater, St John's Wood, etc It is partly because of the ab sorption of so many villages in the great metropolis that it is afflicted with such con fusion in its street nomenclature. If you wish to visit King street it is possible for you to explore ninety-four different streets of that name before yon find the right one. If it is Queen street your chance of hitting it the first time is just one in ninety-nine. Does your friend live on Church street — you are confronted by one hundred streets of that name besides the one you want! Even of John streets there are one hun- dred and nineteen, and of New streets— new a long while ago, in most cases—one hundred and sixty-six! It beoomes a neces- sity, in such cases, to give the street a sur name, so to speak—as men began to take surnames when James and John, and Mary became frequent in the same circle of ac quaintance. Streets are often designated, therefore by adding the name of some well known thoroughfare into which they run, or the special neighborhood to which they belong, as Queen street, Cheapaide; King street, St. James Square; Church street, Tooting: High street, Marleybone, etc. And in any case the initials of the gen eral division of the city are usually affixed to the address —"E. C." for east centre: "W. C." west centre; "8. E.," south cast; 4 N," north, etc. Largest Sapphire in the WOIM, A correspondendent writes as follows. I have recently been favored with the sight of one of the famous jewels of the world— a stone that has its history and pedigree, and is celebrated in the annals of the noted gems of Europe; I have held in my hand and ad mired beneath the rays of the sunlight the finest sapphire that is known to exist. This beautiful and well-nigh priceless stone com bines in a singularly perfect degree the lead ing qualifications of size, shape, color, and water. In form it is flat oval, being about two inches long by an inch and a half wide. It is cut slightly on cabochon on top and in to a multitude of small facets beneath. Its hue is perfect, being a warm, lustrous Marie Louise blue, not so dark as to show black beneath the gaslight, but having all the velvet softness and purity of tint that is required in a really fine gem of this descrip tion. Its weight is 300 carats, and it bo longs to a noble wealthy Russian family in whose family it has been for the past two centuries, and it has been placed bj' its owner in the hands of one of the great dia mond merchants of Paris for safe keeping. One of the Rothschild family has offered for it no less than $300,000, but the offer has been refused. I asked the courteous gentleman in whose care it has been left as to the actual value of the stone. He told me that, being, as it was, perfectly unique, no precise value could be set upon it, but that he was inclined to estimate it at some $400,000. He also shewed me a string of enormous graduated pearls of extreme pur ity and fineness (the center one was as large aa a small cherry), and he told me that the necklace belonging to the noble Russian was composed of six similar strings of equal beauty and exceptional size. Ihe great sapphire was mounted to be worn as a brooch, being surmounted with large dia monds of twenty carats each. Its guardian informed me that the pendant belonging to this brooch was composed 01 & large pear shaped sapphire weighing sixty carats, and set in diamonds. The whole collection ©f jewels belonging to this one family is worth over $2,000,0001 "There is no such sap phire as that largest one," continued my in formant "even among the crown jewels of Russia. I furnished myself two very ones to the Empress, each weighing sixty carats, but they do not compare with this magniflceat gem." The gentleman who apoke was well qualified to give an opinion, ae he is one of the few great diamond mer chants of the world, and is, moreover, a noted expert. He it is who was recently sent for by the Russian Government to go to St. Petersburg to make a full estimate of the value of the crown jewel#, and he furnishes whatever ornaments in precious stones are purchased by the members of the Imperial family. A Boon to Humanity Is anything tSat will ease p&iu. and a public benefactor one who is able to relieve human ailments. The most painful of all bodily ilia ia surely pdjas, and suoh has beau the absurd, empirieal barbarous treatment of this terrible disease for 8000 years that scientific men began to despair, and a distinguished modern surgeon Ims pronounced it the "opprobrium of the profession."

COLOR OF FARM BUILDINGS. —ln pnlutiug even a shed it is juit at cheap and easy to give it a pleasing color, as tqmake it a blemish on the landscape. B:\rnsand other farm buildings, paint ed red—especially the dark Venetian red —offer a fine contrast to the green of (he fields and troes, and we are pleas ed to note that the use of this color is increasing. The numerous red build ings of English farms are very attrac tive to the traveler's eye; and they are not only handsome in appearance, bat also give an air of thrift an J perman ency to a place, which unpainted wood, or white or straw color do not impart. We have one set of farm buildings in mind, in which (lie brackets and other trimmings are finished oil' in black, with a most satisfj.c ory effect. The black ilius used, gives a distinctness and boldness to the details, and forms with the red walls a happy combination, and one most appropriate in its place. Red barns and out-buildlngs are not ra~e; these, when ot a glaring, self-as serting red, are not pleasing, and they are still less so, when they are, as we oiten see Them, trimmed with white, it is a rule of good taste in painting buildings, to have window caps, brack ets, and other details, darker than the ground work or main body of the ma terial. Why not apply the same prin ciple to farm buildings, especially ash costs no more, and adds to the attract iveness and value of the structure? For example, a brick house, with a white marble door way, window eats and caps, and a white cornice, will al ways look frivolous and cheap; where the same details are of the much cheap er brown-stone, the house has an air of dignity and repose, quite lacking in the other. Other farm buildings are often quite as conspicuous as the dwelling, and in decorating them, quite as much thought should be given to having them pleasing to the eye, especially as it need not require an extra outlay. HUMBUGGED AGAIN.—I saw so much about the merits ot Hop Bitters, and my wife who was always doctoring, and never well, teased me so urgently to get her some, 1 concluded to be hum bugged again; and 1 am gluil 1 did, for in less tnan two months' use of the Bitters niv wife was cured and she has remained so for eighteen months since. I like such humbugging —ll. T., St. Paul. TAKING CARE OF THE CORN CROI*— There is a great deal of nonsense written in regard to cutting and shock ing corn, tying the fodder, etc. All kinds ot plans are suggested and all kinds of materia! recommended to tie with—twine, wire, hay, flax waste, oats straw, Ac.—and elaborate instruc tions given about aiaking the bands. After all, there is no material better than goodrye straw, and the best way is to carry it to the tleld in bundles and make the bauds as you w ant to use theui. In •utting corn there is 110 better way than the old one—tying two, three or four hills together by the tops to sup port the shock. The device known as the "grasshopper" is very good, but the shocks do not stand up as well as by the other method, A devke for pressing the shocks together before ty ing is described in this number, and it is au excelleut one for the boys who have not the stature uud strength nec essary, but a good stout mail has noth ing but his arm.<. It is conceded by all good lariuers that 110 work 011 the farm pays better than saving the corn fodder in good shape. It is the very best kind of leed lor horses and eattle, and even for sheep, if properly prepar ed. Cutting up to the ground is the speediest.method of harvesting, besides being most economical. Topping Is a slow process, especially if an attempt is made to save the leaves below the ear, and is rarely practiced by corn growers now.

To DESTROY "EVERLASTING."— The common weeds known as everlasting, as well as most of the weeds which trouble the tanner, are encouraged by keeping land in pasture. To plough up a piece of weedy grass laud, sow buckwheat and then oats, sowing grass and clover again with the oats, and then pasturing the land, is about as good a plan as could be used to perpet uate the weeds. If the sod had been planted with corn,rid the ground kept clean, and the next year or two years ploughed again and put iu potatoes or beans, being all the time kept free from weeds by hoeing or hand-pulling, the ground might be pretty well clean ed, and might then be sown to clover. The clover should not be pastured, but mown once for bay and once lor seed. The sod might be plowed again lor corn, and it the weeds were not de stroyed, another crop of beans or roots should be taken. Few weeds will sur vive two or turee well cultivated crops, and fewer still this proeess repeated. THE WAY TO KEEP HOGS HEALTHY.— Of all the animal creation the hog is the most omniverous, yet we have con fined it almopt entirely to corn lor gen erations, and then express surprise at its diseased condition. Were men to be confined 10 one article of diet thej would be afflicted with new and strange disorders. I venture to say thai if we reserve oar order of procedure and give our hogs varieties of food, we in a short time will expel the diseases now destroying our herds of swine. Feed 011 clover, peas, barley, rye, and occa sionally seme animal food, and give them pure well or spring water, to gether with coals, salt, ft9hes, ete., and we will soon hear no more of cholera. IF SUCCESS be the true tc3t of merit, it is certainly a settled fact that Brown's Bronchial Troches " have 110 equal or the prompt relief of Coughs, Colds and Throat troubles. To FARMERS. —farmers are frequent ly troubled with their wheat moulding after it has been put into the bins. If your wheat is damp and liable to mould, put a few stones or bricks in the gran aries, and after leaving In one day, take them out and if they appear damp, put in ethers that are not moist, and at the end of two or three days the wheat will be perfectly dry and rattle like shot when handled. FOR BORE BACK OR HORSES. —Dis- solve half an ounce of blue vitrol in a pint of water, and bathe the injured parti with it four or five times a day. Cost, five cents.

DOMESTIC. CHEMICAL* FOH HOUSEHOLD USE It Is surprising, considering how ninny women have been instructed in chem istry in school-days, to find how lew housekeepeis make any use of chemi cals in various household processes. Especially in this the case in cleansing processes. The washing of clothes is usually wholly accomplished hy rub bing the clothes on the wash-boirtl, and with no other detergent than soap. The rubbing cl the clothes wears tlseui out far more than use, and if house keepers only know or If knowing, they would take advantage of the fact, that many washing compounds will almost entirely cleanse clothes which are soaked in them over night, and thus almost entirely do away with the la bor and wear of the washboard, wash day might be robbed of half its terrors. Recipes for washing tluids, the princi pal ingredients of which are soda, ash, ammonia, and lime, can bo found in nearly every household recipe book and they are very cheap and harmless. All such washing compounds are use ful and convenient lor cleaning wood work, panels and carpets in a house; also in washing dishes and securing that desideratum of housekeepers— clean disli clothes. Ammonia is a sim ple, cheap ami harmless chemical, and should be bought by the quart and kept in every family. A lew drop* added to water will cleanse children's hair and make it soft and sweet; it Is an ad mirable disinfectant to remove ttie odor of perspiration; it will remove grease spots irom clothing and often restore color to stains. Its common and frequent use can not be too fre quently urged. Borax is another chemical that should llml common use in everj* family. For cleansing teeth and sweetening tlie breath, a few grains of the powder In water is unex celled. It softens and whitens flannels. Salicylic acid is a perfectly odorless and harmless, yet powerful, disinfectant, and for many disinfecting uses in the household Is invaluable, it is very cheap aud convenient in form. In these days when to stay various forms of disease is so important, mothers and housekeepers would do well to give study ami thought to these things, and try to make their knowledge ef science practical. It Is very encouraging to note how many women are turning their attention to studies in general an applied science. Let us have its bcnctits exemplified in the Household.

ANTI-FUNGUS PAINT.— The Thou In dustrie Zeitung describes a sanitary .paint for walls, ceilings and the like,' —one which renders the penetration of fluids or vapors impossible au i prevents the formation of fungi, at. the same time being of such stability that It can be washed down with boiling water, without injury. This paint is, essen tially, a solution of stearate of soda in spirit, in the proportion of about fifty grammes of the stearate to one thous and of sp. gr. GO. Spirituous solution ot soap, ot ail kinds aud strength, can be applied in a similar manner but the stearate of soda is far preferable. The paint is said to present an especially handsome appearance, and in the sick wards of hospitals, or in cattle sheds where disease is prevalent, can readily be mixed with disinfecting materials.

DHSSF.RT ICES, — Dessert ices are now served in many beautiful forms, to represent flowers, fruit, vegetables and other tasteful objects. For these moulds arc provided, into which the ices, having been made as before de scribed, are pressed. After being left imbedded in ice for more than an hour, the moulds are dipped in lukewarm water to facilitate turning out, and, having been carefully wiped to tree them from salt, the moulds are opened, the ice placed on a suitable dish, and they are then rapidly painted with carefully prepared vegetable colors, as the nature of the case may require. These ornamental ic*s mast have con siderable care, but any person with or dinarv skill, and able to give time and attention to detail, may manage them. To REMOVE RUST FROM STEEL. —The steel to be cleaned should be washed with a solution composed of one-half ounce of cj-anide of potassium in tw o ounces of water; then brush with the following recipe; cyanide of potassium one-half ounce; Castile soap, one ounce; whiting and water sufficient to form a paste, Cyanide of potassium is a most violent poison, and persons us ing it should be particularly eareful.

BRYANT. HUMOROUS. THK OTHRR VALISE. —The other day an omnibus full of pas tigers drove up town fioni the Union depot at Burllng t n, lowa, aide by able situ commer cial traveler, named William Maceaby, and Mrs. Winnie C. Diimbleton, the eminent lady temperance lecturer. When the omnibus reached the Barrel House tlie commercial traveler seized ills valise and started out. The lady made a grab after him and he halted. "1 beg your pardon," she said, "but you have my valise." "You nre eertaiuly mistaken, ina datne," tlie traveler said, courteously but firmly, "this is mine." "No, sir," the lady replied, firmly, "it is mine. 1 would know it anions a thousand. You must not take It." But tlie traveler insisted and the lady insisted, and they ca no very near quarreling. Preset Lly one ot ttie pas sengers pointed to a twin valise in the om uibus and asked : "Whose is thatV" "It isn't mine," said the traveler; It is just like it, but this is mine." "And it Isn't mine," said vlie lady; ' lie lias mine, and I'll liavo it or I'll have the law upon him. It's a pity it' a lady can't travel alone in this country without being robbed of her property in broad daylight." Finally tiie traveler said he would open the valise to prove hi-claim. The lady objected at first, sny lug she did not want Iter valise opened in the presence of a crowd of strangers. But as iheie was no other wny of settling the dis pute she at length consented. The traveler sprung the lock, opened the valise, and the cuiious erowe bent for ward to sac. 011 the very top of everything lay a big tlut tlask, half full of whiskey, u deck of cards, and one ur two things that nobodj knows the name of. Tee traveler was the llrst to recover his sel(-possession and speech "Madam," he said, "you are right. The valise is youis. I owe yon a thou sand Hpolo—" But the lady had fainted, and the traveler re-locked his valise with a quiet smile. Early in the afternoon a sign painter down town received a note in a feminine hand, asking him tocoine to tlie Barret House to mark a red leather valise in black letters a foot and a halt long. A WORLD OF GOOD. —One of the most popular medicines now before the American public, is Hop Bitters. You see it every where. People take it wiiii good effect. It builds them up.

A snobbish young man with u face showing considerable assurance and ac companying two young women, tapped her on the shoulder and blandly in quired : "Would you mind taking a seat at the door, ma'am, and give these two ladies a place at the front, so that ihev may see good?" She looked up Into his face and inno cently asked: "Is there plenty of room at the door?" "Heaps of it," he eagerly uttered. "St there then," was the exhaustive reply. The managers of the Danbury fair wouldn't have a wheel of fortune on thcgrounds. A thousand dollars didn't tempt thern to have it round. Tliey prouatdy would nave been willing had they thought everything about that wheel would be square. Statistics prove that women's teeth decay at an earlier age than men's, which conclusively proves that spruce gum is more injurious than tobacco.

It now bocomes, unquestionably, the cheapest weekly paper of its size and character in the United States. It gives 832 large pages (11x16 inches) of reading matter a year, or over eight pages for a cent at its lowest club rate. It costs less than two oenta a week for each member of a clnb of twenty or more persons. Schools that have been taking other publications because the clnb rates of The Sunday School Tunes were higher than they could afford, will not be slow to appreciate these new prices. The lewest Tate heretofore for a clnb of less than thirty copies has been f 1.90 for each paper. ICow the price for twenty copies, or over, is SI.OO for each paper. The redaction is a bold one, and even the present large circulation does not warrant it, bat the change is desirable for the due extension of its field, and tbe necessary increased circulation is ture to come. Lower prices do not mean a poorer paper, or lees of it,—on the contrary, it is purposed to make the paper better than ever before in all of its departments. Here arc the "Sew Rates. —From one to four copies, $2 each. From fire to nine copies, in a package to one address, sl-50 each. From ten to nineteen copies, in a package to one address, $1.25 each. Twenty copies or more in a package to one address, SI.OO each, These prices include postage, which is prepaid by the publisher. Subscriptions will be taken for any portion of a year at yearly rates. While the papers for a club must be sent in a package to one address, the publisher desires to have for reference the names of all the subscribers. He, therefore, reqnirtw thai each club subscription be accompanied with a list of the names and addresses of the persons who are to use the paper. Superintendents will remember that they can try the paper in their schools for a portion of a year at the yearly rate. Twenty teachers can be snppiied for three months for five dollars. Why not begin now? '• " • Any reader of this advertisement, who has never been a subscriber to The Sunday School Times, can roceive it on trial every week for three months fbr twenty-five cents. Send also for a free specimen of The Scholars' Quarterly, a forty four-page scholars' lesson help, containing A colored map, beautiful illustrative pictures, and a great variety of valuable lesson matter.
