eae as aE a AOE EO A Cottage Water Filter.

Those who cannot afford to buy a filter may easily make one. Stuff a piece of sponge in the hole of a flower pot, place above this a layer of pounded charcoal three or four inches in depth. Another layer of pebbies should be placed above the charcoal to prevent it from beisg stirred up whea the water is poured io. The contents of the flower pot should be occasionally removed. But by a small

addition to this a cottage filter may be! made which, for practical use is quite)

equal to the most «xpeusive filter of cor- responding size. [t consists flower pots, one above the other, the low-

er one fitted with a spovge aud filtering |

above described, and the upper one with a sponge only. ‘The upper pot should be the larges:, and if the under one is strong the upper one may stand on it, or a piece of wood with a hole to receive the upper pot. may rest oo the brim of the lower ope. ‘the two pots thus ar- ranged are placed on a three-legged stool with a hole in it, through which the pro jecting part of the lower sponge passes. und the water drope into a jug placed below. The upper pot serves as a rescr- voir, aud the sponge stops the coarser im- purities, and thus the filtering layers of the lower one may be used for two or three years without being renewed if the upper sponge be occasionally cleaned. Care must be taken to wedge in the upper sponge tightly enough to prevent the water passing through the upper pot more rapidly than it can filter throug the lower onc. ss ad —~<> «> <6 +o @ A-Warning to Blasphemers., One of the most terrible iastances of a scoffer struck in the moment of his blas- phemy has been revealed in London, recently. Deceased was an engincer named Thomas Hudson, 2eged 67, who resided at 24 Saunders street, Lambeth, and bad been employed at Messrs. Mandslay’s for twenty-five years. He returned home on Thursday evening and asked his daughter-in-law to get him an egg from the fowl house. On pro- ceeding into the yard he become excited, and after using a frightful oath he ran into the parlor, vomited blood, and fell dead. Mrs Fall stated that the deceased did not say “Ged strike me dead,’’ but he used words of a similar character. The jury found a verdict of death from excitement, and the coroner’s experience enabled him to narrate a parrallel case. A number of persons had assembled in a tavern at Putney, when a man charged another with taking from him two pence. The man, after being accused, said, “May God strike me dead if I did it,’’ and he immediately after fell dead. On being picked up the missing two-pence was found firmly clutched in the deceased’s right hand. He would strongly advise. men against taking such wicked oaths.

The Nova Scotia Coal Trade.

A despatch from Pictou, N. 8., says that 5,754 tons of coal were shipped during the past week, making the total shipment to date, 21,286 tons. The Standard says :— ‘*Coal shipments are increas ng, those of last week being the largest of tie season. Nearly all the large cargoes have gone to Montreal ; in fact, that port has received almost as much coal already this season as it has during the whole of last year. The total shipments to date to all quarters are about 12,000 tons larger than at the cor- responding date of 1878. Several large steamers and sailing ships are now loading at the coal whafves, and we may therefore calculate that at the close of the present week, shipments from the port will be 15,000 or 16,000 tons larger than at the same date last year. Remembering that a mush larger quantity has also gone over the railroz.d this year than last from the various mines, it will thus be seen that our coal companies are in a fair way to attain pros-

rity, and that under a comprehensive National Policy, matters are in a much better position than they have been for some seasons. It is reported that several important contracts have recently been made by tlie Pictou conipanies, with parties in the Upper Provinces. We have reason to think this correct, and, if it prove so, may congratulate the people of this country on the promptilude ef the benefits result- ing from their intelligent verdict last Sep- tember.”

CATAR RE.

Constitutional Catarrh Retedy CURES CA PA BR GG.

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.edy. T. J. B. Harpine, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:—

DEAR Smm—lIt is now two years since your “Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced to me. Ihave waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent belore do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects scemed to me to be ‘‘too good to be true.”

I was afflicted in my head fer years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par- ticulars.” The inward ‘‘drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit up in the bed. My health and spirits were seriously afiected. When your agent eame to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle [ found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third. I quit taking it, feeling quite eured of that ailment, and have not used zeny since vetil of late I have taken some for a cold in my head,

A sense.of duty to sufferers from that loxth- some. disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certiticate, unsoheited, with leave to make what use of it yon may sce proper. Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or sinee the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of Ordinary plasters.

DR. MELYVIN’s CAPsicuM Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of tho ordinary kind. ‘All other plasters are slow of

Being, however, convinced of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MrLvin’s CAPSICUM Porous PLAsTeRs, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescriba them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and baek, and all such eases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want acertain eure, ask your druggist for »R. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER, Youcan hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Atthough powerful and quick in its action, you ean rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. Mpiyvrx’s CAPpst- cuM Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
