Hale and Hearty. These two adjectives by no means impW the possession of great muscular strength. There are many men and women of slight build and Inferior stature to whom the terms “hale and hearty" perfectly apply. Their complexions are clear, eyes bright and vivacious, pulses (tranquil, step elastic, movements steady, sleep undisturbed, appetites sound. These indicia of haleness and heartiness Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters will assuredly bestow upon the feeble, the nervous and dyspeptic. No tonic of the century compares with it in popularity, no other rivals it in efficacy. As permanent invigoration means also the previous regulation of disorder in the system, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters must also be regarded as chief among regulators. It conquers and prevents malaria and rheumatism, overcomes inactivity of the liver, bowels and kidneys, and promotes the acquisition of flesh as well as vigor. The Rattan Trim’ . The fashionable trunk to-day is the rattan basket, safely tufted inside, lined with linen, and furnished with but one tray. It has a stout cover of waterproof canvas bound with sole leather, with as little metal as possible used in the makeup. It is so light that a child can lift it when it is unpacked. There is nothing more durable than rattan, as the Oriental nations found out long ago. A good trunk of rattan or wicker, covered with waterproof, will cost from 813 to 525, according to its size, and to some extent to the place where it is purchased.

If anyone were discovered putting arsenic and phosporus in the cigars which men use, how soon a law would be found or made to fit his case. But when the same poisons are employed in preparing cigarette wrappers, with fatal results to boys, there is no mention made of legal proceedings contemplated or begun. Anti-cigarette legislation is practically a failure, but there is no good reason why a law against poisoning tobacco should not be made a success. Three Harvest Excurs ons. The Burlington Route.

ANCIENT MILLING. What Led to the Establishment of WaterPower Mills in Rome. For ages the various cereals used in bread-making were ground with very uncouth contrivances, hardly deserving the name of mill as we understand it, says the Detroit Free Press. They consisted of two portable circular stones, the upper being the smaller and turned upon the lower and concave one by means of an iron and wooden handle, the grain being placed between them. These stones were usually obtained from a quarry in the vicinity of Babylon, from which sufficient were taken to supply all the Eastern countries. The grinding was usually performed by two females, who sat opposite each other with the mill stones placed between them, the upper stone being kept in constant motion by the hands of the operators. Very ofteu this tedious work was assinged to prisoners, who considered it a most degrading task. The fact is told in holy writ, in which we are told that Samson “did grind in the prison-house of the Philistines,” and Jeremiah bewails the fact that the Babylonians “took our young men to grind ” Two famous philosophers—Menedemus and Asclepiades—when pursuing their studies at Athens, were enabled to pay for their support and schooling by acting as millers after school hours, receiving the munificent sum 0f36 cents (2 drachma:) per night. Happily their iellow-students, upon hearing this, raised a subscription sufficient to defray the expenses of these deserving young men.

While women were milling they usually relieved the monotony of their work by singing songs of a lively and cheerful character. Ordinarily they prepared as much meal in the morning as would be required for the day. On this account Hebrew' writers associated the noise of the morning mill with prosperity and happiness. If, on the contrary, this work was performed in the evening, they imagined there was the sound as adversity and sadness in the notes of the song. The Bomans, among whom agriculture was a highly favored occupation, were an inventive race, especially in the matter of labor-saving machines. Recognizing the drudgery of hand-mills, they invented those whose motive power was imparted by asses, mules and oxen, and introduced them into all the countries conquered by their victorious armies. There is no positive record of the name of the originator of this improvement in milling. About the year 70 B. C., Mithridates, king of Cappadocia, one of the most ingenious and able princes of the time, invented the first mill driven by water. Tins triumph of his skill and ingenuity he caused to be erected in the immediate vicinity of the royal palace. In the course of time the Cappadocian bakers became celebrated and were in great demand throughout all parts of the world as then known. These mills were usually placed upon boats on the river, being so elevated and contrived as to be easily driven by the water, and the millers were thus enable to move from place to place, distributing the meal to their customers. Prior to the introduction of waterpower mills the public mills in Rome were operated chiefly by slaves. These establishments were located in the vaults of an immense building known as the Pistrinum, devoted exclusively to the uses of the bakers of that city. Often it happened that this slave labor was very difficult to obtain, and to supply the want the mill proprietors resorted to violent measures.

They enticed strangers and ignorant persons into the building on the plea of inspecting it. In some of the rooms ingeniously constructed trap-doors were placed in the floors. As soon as an unsuspecting victim stepped upon the trap he was precipitated to the vaults below and there imprisoned and condemned to perpetual labor. No chance of communicating with his friends was afforded the prisoner, and thus be was compelled to drudge until released by death. Something About Oatmeal. Concerning oatmeal and white bread as human foods, “Shirley Dare” discourses as follows: "The breakfast awakens curiosity. First comes oatmeal, pasty, inferior stuff', iP-cooked. lit, perhaps, for a ploughman or shepherd who works his food off’ by hard labor in the open air all day, but very far from the food for a slender, nervous girl or boy at school. The oatmeal superstition is a hard one to uproot in the minds of housekeepers, who have made it a part of their routine and hate to take up anything else. Farmers do not feed oats to their horses unless they are hard at work, because the gram is too heating for them and breeds disease in animals, unless thrown off by vigorous muscular effort daily. Oatmeal, especially of the finer sorts in which the housekeeper delights, often passes digestion in a crude state as masses of starch, which clog the body without nourishing it. Dry, crisp oatcake is much better than the dry oatmeal, and is far more palatable, its oil and starch being changed in baking. Clean cracked wheat is the food for tire nervous, studious or housekeeping women and children, containing as it does the phosphates needed and the coarse character which aids the organs in their work. The fine flours and foods of the day are one great cause of the early deterioration of the race. If we wished artfully to eliminate every particle of nutrition from food, it would be only necessary to carry the process of grinding, bolting and refining a little further. In my experience, and that of the most intelligent literary people met, it is not possible to change from sound coarse food, containing all the wheat, for one day, without loss of strength and nervous tone, while the difference in complexion in a single month challenges admiration m all the women about. The men don’t say anything, but they notice it all the same. I know that ordinary women scout and cavil at this doctrine. They will have it that their mothers were strong and good-looking on white bread and fried potatoes and steak, and it is all nonsense to fuss so much about cracked wheat and coarse bread when they are just as well without it. They send to the bakers for bread five days in seven, at.d put their oatmeal to cook

Gall-Stones. Gall-stoner are concretions formed l1 * the gall-bladder from some of the com , stituents of the bile. They vary in siZ , from a millet-seed to a hen s egg. a® occasionally are much larger. Very small gall-stones may pass on with the bile, and give no sign. . er ? large ones never pass into the duct, u sometimes cause inflammation and ulceration. escape through an abscess. When one of the size, say, of a tilber , gets into the duct, it obstructs the t ow of the bile, which accumulates behim it, swelling the bladder and exerting a constant pressure on the stone. As the stone is slowly forced along, it pr°" duces a dilation and inflammation of te duct, until a sudden ce-sation, of the pain announces that the ston® dropped into the intestine; but stones may follow, repeating the ageing process. / , 4 The cause of the formation of gallstone is not known. Age aid sex have something to do with it. Most cases occur after the age of 35, ind women are much more liable tc the ailment than men. Probably h^h living and sedentary habits are in ome way determining factors. Hepatic colic, as the diseases called, is rarely fatal. As no medicae can directly reach the gall-bladder.jnd as the movement of the stone, thou'h slow, is toward the outlet, the most flat the profession attempts is to mitigae the pain with morphine, and by the onstant application of water as hot as cm be borne. A correspondent ih New fork writes us that his mother was cued of a se-j vere attack, thirty years ag<by the use ) of olive oil; that she is nowwell at the | age of 84, and that he has slice recom- j mended the oil in more thanforty eases, j and has never known it t< fail. He ' says: “Let the patient take on an empty ■ stomach a half-pint of pure dive oil, or as much as he can swallow and retain. Keep the patient as quiet a. possible, lying on the back. If namea occurs, place cloths wet in warm splits of camphor, or other spirits, over the pit of the stomach, and give a tablespoonful । of clear, strong coffee. “The effect is usually noticed in ten hours, when the gall-stones pass the patient in the natural way, without pain or annoyance. The oil reduces them from their crystallized form to a soft substance, in consistency about the same as the white < t an egg. We know of no objection to trying the oil, but medical authorities regard supposed gall stones of this kind as only concrete forms of fatty matter such as are sometimes passed in ca^es of diarrhea. lout , - < a i] aiuim. f * Mother's Influence.

He shall not bind bis soul with clay. The poet's thought is illustrated bra little story told by the Kev. Joshta ; Cook in an article on the mule-dee, j contributed to “The Big (ianw of Nor& | America.” The clergyman’s oldest son. a ramiman in Oregon, stands six feet and an inch in his stockings, and is a powerful man, a good shot, a fine hunter, warmhearted and generous. One day a fellow-ranchman came to his cabin, aid said: “Mr. Cook, my old mother is dead. She was a Christian woman, and I don’t want to put her in the ground life the cattle we bury. There isn't a minister within thirty miles. Your father is a minister; you have taught in our Sabbath school. Would you come and say a word over my mother ?” It was a new experience; the big boy thought a moment, and then said: j “Whitehead, I never did anything of । of the kind, but it it was my mother—- ; aud I have one whom I worship, —I ■ should feel as you do. lour mother | shan’t be buried like a dog. I’ll come.” Afterward he wrote to his father:

"I recalled tbe words I had so often heard you pronounce over the dead. All alone I read a passage of Scripture, sang a verse of a hymu, said a short prayer, said the ’dust to dust,’ and all was over. It was a tight place, fm-.v; all the men and women of the valley were there, but I thought of mother, and it carried me through.” A rough young ranchman said to this son one day, “Bates, we notice that you will take part with us in our sports up to a certain point, and then you stop. We wonder why.” “Jerry,” he answered, “when I left home, I made up my mind to go nowhere and take part in nothing that would displease my mother.” Color Returning, In Saratoga, N. ¥., a singular freak of nature has manifested itself. Mrs. Mary Francis, when she was young and also while she was in the prime of life, had very black eyes an i«-a beautiful head of very black hair. She is about 70 years old now, in good health, and a rich widow. When she was about 50 her hair began to turn white, and in a few years the whole of it was as white as snow, and so remained until about t year ago, when it began to turn black again, and has now, without the use of any artificial means and purely as a freak of nature, almost wholly returned to its original color, and is as long and silky as when she was a young woman.

Returning to Duty. • The daily papers of one of ow.. se;Port towns lately contained the story of an English boy’s adventures in which ie Companion itself bore a part, and 1 n w hich its boy-readers may find an especial significance. George B- was the son of a respectable mechanic in an English vil*Sge. His elder brothers each had a rade, and were contented and happv in eir home. His father succeeded in Placing George in a large business ouse, where he was to remain on trial °r a few months before he was received Permanently. Butin the first month he made several mistake®,and was severely rebuked. Ue became discontented and miserable.

He ran away i ri home to Liverpool, and crossed sea in the steerage of a steamer, fifiiviug in this country without a penny. He was examined by the Superintendent of Emigration, and was forced to confess that he had neither money nor friends in the New World, and that he had no trade nor handicraft by which to earn his living. The boy, locked up for the night in the harbor police station, was brought abruptly face to face with his future. On one side was a vast country filled with strangers, in which success could be reached only by some especial knowledge, skill and industry; on the other side was the ocean, and beyond it his home—the one place on earth where he wa® loved and cared for. During the solitary evening, while the lad struggled with his defeat and i misery, an old copy of the Companion fell into his hands, in which was the j story of a runaway boy who had showed his courage by going back to his home, and begging to be allowed to takeup his work again. In the morning George B asked ; the superintendent to send him back as a pauper, and to “give him another i chance for his life.” He returned on the vessel on which be came, and after several weeks wrote back a glad, grateful letter to the offi । cial, telling him that he was forgiven at home, and was now "hard at work to ' make r. man of himself.” Many a boy has become tired of books jor of work at home, and dreamed of running away, to live a life of adventure ior to conquer fortune by some bold stroke. Such boys, if they realize their dreams, find that they have made a mistake. They get out into the world, I and the world treats them coldly or J lets them starve, for it has no place for ignorance and laziness. The protection ^of home, good habits and industry are "hat boys need a® a preparation for a manly, successful life. Month's Companion.

Dinnrr-l’Bli* at School. Cold dinners are m t in high favor among grown people, as a steady diet, but one of our contributors looks back with great pleasure to the time when he “carried his dinner” daily, and no doubt many of hia readers w ill share his feeling. Every boy anil girl, or at least one from each family, he says, came to the little country school house bringing a dinner-pail or basket, varying in size according to the number of children who were to pm take of its c intents. The appetite of a country-bred boy or girl is usually something to excite a dyspeptic’s envy. Nearly every pupil in our school visited his dinner-pail at recess, and it was wonderful with what address some of the boys could play shinny or base-ball and eat steadily during the progress of the game. A modern base-ball catcher might not think it possible to catch a swift-dying ball with one hand while holding a quarter of a pie or a huge "twister” of a doughnut in the other, but I have seen schoolboys accomplish this feat with the utmost ease and grace. As the dinner-pail was kept under the desk, it sometimes happened that a boy would be overcome with hunger between recess and noon, or between the opening of the school and recess, and would slyly extract a piece of pie or a chunk of bread and endeavor to dispose of it i n secret behind his books. If the culprit was detected he was sometimes made to come forward, din-ner-pail in hand, and eat its entire contents while standing before the grinning, giggling school. This was a trying ordeal, and I have seen boys who were almost men in size break down and । cry and sob under it, while their un- ■ sympathetic schoolmates laughed im- ■ moderately. At noon' there was always a grand scramble for pails and baskets. In the spring and summer we raced out to the i woods and sat in little groups under the j trees, or on the banks of a pretty stream । behind the school-house; but in winter ■ we gathered in a great circle around the i school-room stove, and, with much jok- । ing and laughter, put out of sight the I contents of our pails, often trading a ; piece of pie for a slice of gingerbread, ■ or a big red apple for a frosted cookie. Then, if it was too stormy or cold to ■ play out of doors, what pandemonium j there would be in that little school- | room until the noon hour was done! i Such racing and shouting! Few teachers ever tried to maintain order during this hour. They felt, perhaps, that it would be impossible, or they may have been as much in sympathy with us a.s was one of our teachers, a good-natured easygoing, elderly woman, with strong nerves, who would sit and knit in the midst of our deafening noise, saying simply that she “loved to see us enjoy ourselves.” Some of these boys aud girls, who are rich men and women now, have been heard to say that they were happier in those days than they have ever been since.

Gratifying to All. Th© high position attained and the universal acceptance and approval of the pleasant liquid fruit remedy. Syrup of Figs, as tne most excellent laxative known, illustrate the value of the qualities on which its success is based, and are abundantly gratifying to the California Fig Syrup Company. Great Staying Qualities. After a dinner given by Stephen Price, of Drury Lane Theater, all the guests but Theodore Hook and the Rev. Edward Cannon retired. Price was suffering from gout, but as they disregarded his hints to retire, ho stole off and left them in high talk. On the following morning he inquired of his servant: “Pray, at what time did those gentlemen go last night?” “Go. sir?” replied John: “they’Ve not gme, sir; they have just rung for coffee.” This century has produced no woman whe has done so much to educate her sex to a thorough and proper knowledge of themselves as Mrs. Lydia E.
