LA NEPS PA TENTPREMIUM WOOL MATTRESSES.

A new fenture in the line of beddinir material is to lx found in line's Patent Premium Wool Mattresses. Thev combine nil the desirable properties of leathers, curled hair or sea grass, ar.d are far superior in everv resncct, while they are highly recommended for health promoting qualities which noother mattresses possess. While nearly as sort as leathers, they are far more compact, and lack the heat producing qualities of them, which are so objectionable to many. They are capable of sustaining double the pressure that hair mattresses can and their relative elasticity is in like proportion greater. One obstacle in the way of feather or hair mattresses coming into general use has be the high price they commanded ui.i few mattresses esteemed as valuable are to be found in the homes of any but the wealthy. The cost of Lane's wool mat tresses is but one-half that of hair mat tresses, ami less than one-half that of leathers, yet in every instance where they have been placed in competition witii either or both, they have been pronounced in every respect far superior to them. Mr. Lane's mattress had been introduced but six months when Yale College, after examing its merits compared with those of all other mattresses, gave its testimony to the superiority of the wool mattress, by adopting it for use in the College buildings. in preference to any other. It is four years since Mr. Line perfected iiis pnA-ess and obtained letters patent for this invention, and, although s:ll improvements upon their introduction Have to overcome many and often serious obstacles, so popular have these mattresses become in all parts of the country that there are now two extensive manufactories taxed to their utmost capacity to supply the orders received from dealers throughout the country. These have been established two years, and in that time its capacity has been increased lour fold to keep puce with the increasing demand for its products. When first established the wool mattress was scarcely known in the West, but now it is largely dealt in by the most extensive furniture houses in all Western cities. The manufacturing consists in preparing the wool and packing it into ticks. The mode of preparing it is as follows: li is fed into a cylindrical machine, containing a wheel upon which there are 1 ,."0n steel points, and which revolves at the rate of 7M) times a minute. The points on the wheel pick the wool into separate hairs, and it emerges from the cylinder in distinct libers. It is then put into another machine of cylindrical form, where it is thoroughly cleansed, and curled io pcrleetion. 'The curling is done lor the purpose of increasing the elasticity of the libers, which would otherwise become solid ami have but little perceptible springi: packed closely in ticks. After being curled the is packed tightly into ticks of va-

Wool lions sizes, including those used lor beds, lounges, pillows, cribs, cradles and bolsters or of anv size and shape that may be ordered. The ticks are prepared in the sewing room, the sewing b.nngdone by machines. The final process finishing, is then gone through with and tho mattress is sent to the store room, thence to whatever part of the country there is a demand for it. There are four machines for separating the wool, each of thorn having a capacity for turning outlier day nine mattresses. As the orders are not exclusively for bed mattresses, which are of the largest size, but for various sizes, the number of mattresses made daily will average forty. The business at this point is exclusively wholesale, and is conducted by Messrs. 1'. A. Lane and A. E. Kendall. Mr. L. S. Lane is the general manager of the business, and Mr. K. Kendall superintendent of tho business in the East.

The rapid increase in tho demand for their mattresses and the hearty endorsements that have been received from all who have used them are prospective of a large and prosperous business, and we doubt that it will be lullv realized in the near future, for upon an impartial trial the wood mattress will certainly establish its superiority over all others, while its low pries renders it available to all classes.

'An arniv olllcer, who hasspen' a dozen years in Montana, writes: "I have traveled in many countries, and "en stationed in many dill'eront portions of America, but I have never found a climate I hat suited me so completely as this of Montana." A resident of Northern Montana writes, that on January 'Kh, 1K71, his family spont tho day without fires, and with open windows. On the Wth of December, 1870, Judge Uicc, of Maine, plucked a boquot of llowers in the open lields in Washington Terri tory. Kev. Mr. Spaulding, the venerable missionary who has spent .''0 years 111 Idaho, Montana, and Oregon, assures us that herds of domestic iitle are wintered on the slopes of the Rocky Mountains, with 110 food but tho abundant bunch grass. This could not be do:»« in Southern Illinois. Stock raisers in Wyoming and Southern Idaho drive their herds north, to tho vicinity of tho Northern Pacific route, to spend the winters, on account of the milder season, los snow fall, and abundant grazing. HutTalo make similar migrations, taught by instinct and experience. A few definite facts like these (and they could be multiplied without limit) outweigh volutin* of climate theory. The subject of tho temperature of the belt within which lies the Land ({rant oltho Northern Pacific Railroad, cannot bo better summed up than by repeating that Minnesota has 1 he averaaru temper uture of Northern New York without

He is the youngest son of the Liberator, and cannot he more than twenty-three wars of age. Ten years ago he was at Tine of the most celebrated Knglish schools, where he was regarded as a bright and promising boy. His older brother Menotti has tho cool, iemstent courage of a lorn fighter but Riceiotti is decidedly the abler man of the two. It will be remembered that during the Into war the only Prussian flag that was taken was captured by the regiment commanded by Riciottl. Like hislirother he is a professional revolutionist, always ready to lighton beside of revolt. These two"young men are the stormy petrels of the revolution.

Mr. Snapp, a blacksmith, owns two dogs, one a terrier four or Ave years old, the other half shopherd and half common cur, about twelve or fifteen years old, and consequently very feeble. In the winter, between the hours for breakfast and dinner, nnddinner and supper, these two dogs may always be seen perched up just far enough from Mr. Snapp's forge to escape the sparks, but still near enough to keep warm. The terrier being the more active almost always gains the coveted place, leaving the' poor old dog out in the cold. The old dog set his wits to work to devise some means by which he could get the terrier out of the coveted place. Taking advantage of the good

qualities of the terrier, he made a feint towards the garden, barking furiously, as if some one was intruding at that point, when, true to his nature, out popped the terrier to make a pell-mell rush for the extreme end of tho garden. The old schemer no sooner saw the terrier enter the garden than he popped behind the stove. His young friend, soeingthe situation, in turn put his wits to work. After disappearing in the garden for few moments he made his appearance right in
