Women Never Think. If the crabbed old bachelor who ut tered this sentiment could but witness the intense thought, deep study and thorough investigation ot women in determining the best medicines to keep their famines well, and would note their sagacity and wisdom in selecting Hop Bitters as the best, and demon strating it by keeping their iamiles in perpetual health, at a mere nominal expense, he would be forced to ac knowledge that such sentiments are baseless and false. — Picayune. POTTKD SALMON.— Ever so many good things can be made with canned sal mon, if von have any sabe. In old times, In the ship stores, there used to be only Scotch put-up salmon, but nowadays, it is the Columbia River that supplies the world. An old man, as 1 knowed, as good a sailor as ever sailed, was mighty fussy over his eating, and he tirst showed me how to make potted salmon out of the fish in tans. It is tip-top relish spread on a bit of bread. Take your salmon out of the can, and pick out bones, but mostly they are so soft as to do no harm. Just you pound them smooth in a mortar, 'lake that pounded fish and put it in a jar, which jar place in a pipkin with hot water. Bring up the water to a boil; when your fish is hot, say for a two-pound can, stir in a quarter of a pound ot good butter and a teaspoon f ul of essence of anchovy: or you may take three anchovies and bruise them up fine and mix them in. It must be hot: so put in a salt-spoonful of Cayenne pepper and a shred of mace; chop your mace tiue. Now you want a teaspoonful of Tarragon vinegar and a half dozen whole black peppers. Keep stirring the fish until it cools, and let it stay in the jar. If you want it to keep good over a week, melt a little beef suet, and when the fish is cold pour that over it. AN ENORMOUS TRAFFlC.— Pittsburgh boasts that 849,746 bottles of CARBOUNK haye been sold within the last six months. This shows that the great army of baldheads will soon be reduced to a corporal's guard. HOME-MADK SELTZER WATER. —'The artificial seltzer water, made with a carbonic acid gas generator, is already an imitation, far from perfect, oi the net iral water. A receipt to make it on a small scale, for family use, as it were, can only give a product differing still more from that of the spriug. Yet the following would fairly imitate the taste and properties of the natural water: Fused chloride of calcium, 4 grains; chloride of maguesium, 12 grains; chloride of sodium, 15 grains; citrate of iron, 1-2 grains; tartaric acid, 2 drachms; bicarbonate of soda, 2 1-2 drachms. Water sufficient. Dissolve all the salts, excepting the tartartic acid and the bicaibonate, in about one pint ot water, and introduce the solu tion into a champagne bottle. Then, havingcompleted the requisite quantity of liquid so as to leave au empty space of about two fluid ounces, add the tar taric acid, and, immediately after, the bicarbonate of soda. Cork the bottle tightly, secure the cork with stout cord, and set the bottle aside for about six hours before it is opened. It is then ready for use. DOBBINS' Electrie Soap, (made bj Cragin & Co., Philadelphia,) contains nothing but the purest material, and does the work quickly, but without impairing the finest fabric. Try it without fail. JUMBLES. —Two cups of butter, two of sugar, three eggs, flour enough to roll them out thin; spice to taste. When ready for the oven sprinkle over white sugar. FAMILY GINGERBREAD. —Two cups ol molasses, one cup of boiling water, two teaspoonfuls of soda, two-thirds cup ol butter, two tea3poonful of ginger; stir as thick as will pour. It accomplishes its object so quickly and so satisfactorily thac its praises are in the mouth of every mother. —We refer to Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup, the re medy for children's diseases. Sold for 25 cents. SOFT COOKIES. —Two cups of sugar, two of butter, one cup of milk, two eggs, seeds, half teaspoonful of soda in hot water. Stir commonly thick and pour in tins. BIRD'S NEST. —BoiI eggs hard, re move shells, surround with force meat, fry or bake them until nicely browned cut in halves and place in the dish with gravy.

THE mother of the late Lord Broug ham had a servant who was specially •unfortunate with crockery, but who at -every misadventure was ready with the excuse, "It was crackit before." -One morning Little Harry, the future Lord Chancellor, tumbled down stairs, and his mother in alarm ran to him, calling out, "Oh boy ! have you broken your head?"

WIT AND HUMUK. M R. (jioonEß was a gentleman who lived in the Mormon country. He had but one wife and never thought of taking any more till one day an elder tackled him and told him solemnly it was his religious duty to seal unto him self a few others. Mr. Goober went home and sadly informed his wife of what the eider had said, and Mrs. Goober said she would have no objec tion provided the elder would come round and argue the case with her piously. Goober told the elder, and the elder dropped around, lie smiled sweetly as Mrs. Goober advanced to meet him. But, alas! that smile was his last—tor a week or two. The next tiling tie was skipping around the room with iiis coat slit up the back and ills bat knocked into pi, while Mrs. Goober whooped him up with the broomstick. He finally jumped out of a window and escaped with lus life, a sadder and a wiser man. The next time lie met Goober lie told liirn he bad bad a celesti al revelation by which lie (Goober) was relieved of the necessity of taking any more wives. The one lie had (Mrs. Goober) would count for almost a thou sand in the New Jerusalem. A FARMER In Fifeshlre had occasion one day to send his mail on some busi ness to a neighboring farm. On his arrival there the good wife, with her usual hospitality, had hiiu supplied with a substantial repast of cold bacon and oatmeal cakes. The bacon being more of a rarity to him than t lie oat meal in any form, he confined his oper ations exclusively to it. The good wo man, on observing this, again recom mended the bread to his notice, when lie replied with great energy, "No, iaith, no, mistress, this is strong enench without bread." SUKNK: Augusta's boudeir. Lucy (holding an open letter in her hand). "Well, you see, dear, 1 only met him at Mount Desert this summer, and we did flirt desperately; but it's too ab surd his writing to me now and pro posing—now isn't it?" Augusta— "Awfully bold, I think; but then it's just like a man. Shall you accept him ?" Lucy—"Well, I don't know what to do. He don't deserve it; hut then he's awfully handsome, and, besides, 1 reallv think I would he a good wife. 1 can make splendid corn bread." "I don't wit nt that St lift'.*' Is what a lady of Boston said to her husband when he brought home some medicine to cure her of sick headaches and neuralgia which had made her miserable for fourteen years. At the first attack thereafter, it was adminis tered with such good results, that she continued its use until cured, and made so enthusiastic in its praise, that she induced twenty-two of the best familes in her circle to adopt it as their regular family medicine. That "stuff' is Hop Bitters. — Standard. "KRCPP has invented a needle-gun warranted to kill two hundred men a minute," but we shall not purchase one 01 them until he has experimented with his gun a couple of hours and proves to our satisfaction the truth of his claim. If a man were to buy his needle-gun and discover that it would kill only one hundred and ninety-nine men a minute, would Krupp take the fraud back and refund the money? There are so many things warranted nowadays that turn out to be failures that a man can't be too careful when he makes a purchase. MONSIEUR X. and his spouse dine to gether. The meal is almost over when he takes the bottle 01 Bordeaux, in which is left a scant half glass ol liquor, and prepares to empty it into his own tumbler. "Don't, darling, don't," cries his wife, who is superstitious; "if you drink the last drop of that wine, you will be married again before ihe year is out, and I love you too much for that." And she empties the wine into her own glass and tosses it off. VEGETINK is acknowledged by all classes ol people to be the best and most reliable blood purifier in the world. JUDGBS had a very wild son, named Bob, who was constantly oil a spree, and, upon being brought up once before the court for drunkenness, the judge cried out, "Is that our Bob?" Clerk: "Yes, sir." Judge: "Fine the rascal two dollars and costs; I'd make it ten dollars, if 1 didn't know it would come out of my own pocket." Ax itinerant merchant meeting one of his own fraternity the other day, whose pony might be considered a beautiful specimen of an engine skele ton, remonstrated with the owner, and asked him if he ever fed him. "Ever fed him, that's a good 'un," was the reply; "he's got a bushel and a half of oats at home, only he h'aint got any time to eat 'era." A GENTLEMAN crossing London Bridge in a carriage at a foot-pace was aroused by a lap at the window. The glass was dim, and, thinking it might be a wayfarer seeking assistance, or a policeman proffering it, he lowered the window and put his head out, where upon his hat vanished, as, two seconds later, did the thief —in the fog! JUDGE: "Prisoner, why will you drink? Now look at uic! 1 am f0, and I never tasted liquor." Prisoner: "You've lost lots ol fun, then, judge, sure as you're born." GOOD story-tellers—Conductors on elevators. THE bolt of the boomers was bad for the boom. THERE'S many a grip on the mid night nip.

I see in the last "Central" that you want a remedy for JSIOK Headache. if you will use a remedy tnat you advertise in in your paper every week, 1 am sure you will be greatly benefited thereby, and I believe cured. I have been a sufferer from .Sick Headache, I say almost from Intancv, and have tried every remedy 1 could get, and never found anything to do me any good un til 1 used Simmons' Liver Kcgulator. It has been nearly three years since I first used it, and i have not had .Sick Headache since, and 1 have never used but two packages and a half of the Reg ulator. 1 had a sister last spring that had from one to two spells of Sick Head aches every week. 1 sent her hail of a package, and she says she has not had it since. I feel for any one that suiters with that terrible disease, and 1 hope you will give it a trial. C. FC>. MORRIS. Brownsville, W. Va. AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENTING —We do not know of anything which would be more interesting on a farm tuan a small experimental ground. New plants and seeds come Into notice eveiy year, but only a tew know which are the most faluable, and the great public depends on the newspaper editor, some interested correspondent, or the reports of some agricultural so ciety to tell him all about them. Fi nally, on the strength of what he reads, lie invests considerable money In some article or another, plants considerable ground with It, and liudsoutonl when too late tiiat it is not at ail suited to his climate or soil- It oftentimes happens that an article really gou.l in a ma jority of eases is of very little value in some particular spot. This is just the sort of knowledge no paper or society can teach, but which a small experi mental garden would readily supply. At market, or when visiting friends, one often has a few seeds or roots given him which may be very useful to him, but which are lost chiefly because there is no spot assigned for the testing of these things. There is. indeed, a ilis jiositlon in many cases to regard these presents of new things as bores, and they are often accepted because it is not thought courteous to wound a friend's feelings by refusing what he regards as somewhat of a treasure* But besides the pecuniary value which often results from tiying experiments, there is a great amount of pleasure from watching things grow that we never saw before; and we are well as sured that no one who established a small experimental-ground on his larui could ever after he without it. LOOSE AND COMPACT SOILS AND EVAPORATION. —In oru r to nave the greatest evaporation, the surface of the soil must be constantly wet. After the i upper layer of the soil has had its water evaporated it must be supplied from below, in order that evaporation must go on. This supply from below depends upon the capillarity ol the soil; or, in other words the fineness of the pores—the finer the pores the greater the supply. A compact soil has greater capillary power, and when j the upper surface i comp.natively dry | will evaporate a large amount of inoist ! ure. If such a soil is bioken up and 1 the surface made to consist of coarse 'unips, the power to raise water from below is much weakened, and there is less evaporation. This is the explatia nation of tlie general belief that it is ! important to keep a soil loose in dry weather, ami break up any crust that I may have formed after a shower. An Infallible Remedy. No longer like Job need the alllieted millions cry out : "Oh, that my grief were weighed and my calamity laid in the balance! Ye are forgers of Ins; ye are all physicians of no value." For an absolutely safe, reliable and certain cure fur Piles, the most exasperating, painful of all diseases, has been found by l)r. Hilsbee. Half a million of sufferers with piles testify to the virtues of Auakesis. Physicians of all schools endorse it and prescribe it; 500.000 persons have used it in all stages and ! varieties of piles, and none without benefit. It lias been pronounced the "happiest medi j cal discovery of the age," and Dr. Hilsbee, an I experienced and scientific YI. 1). of 40 years' ■ practice, "a benefactor tohis race." No rem j edy so simple and yet so infallible as Auakesis I for Piles has been discovered. It is a lia,ipy • j combination of the soothing poultice of the i English, the instrument of the I'r- nch.and the | i curative medication of the American surgeons. It affords immediate relief Irom the most ex -1 cruciatiug pain, holds up the painful tumors. | and ultimate ly cures the worst cases of Piles. | Samples of "ANAKKBIS" are sent free to all ' sufferers on application to the sole manufac turers, Messrs.
