If yon knock a man down, ho may rise np again, but after two or three such snocklr-gs, he loses the power of rising. In ordinary fevers Ihe system has a recuperative power, es pecially when the weight of the malady has beeb removed by suitable mulicice; but hcn that recuperative power is loBt, th system ill not rise lo health, altbongh medicine has d 'nc all that was rzpccttd from it, aud the patient dies. Ibis inabi ity may txi-t in all forms of disease. "Typhoid" means "lite typbuR,"and typbus itself means 'Mupor," a kind of slenn or death. There is a growing tendt ncy in ail dieaes "to takn on tho typhuid typi," which simply means that the constitutions of the people are growing weaker and weaker, less nd less capable of misting the onsets of disease; hence a less amount of sickness kills now than formerly; and added to tfclo ntiisinnnsof eve rv Brad e havo observed that their patients can't bear as large dos-s of audit ine aB heretofore; and the tendency ii to Rivet less and at loneer intervals, ana wan and seo "what natare will do." The practical use to be made by tbe reader of these fuels is to habituate himself to a greater watchfulness against the causes of all disease, and to a griater cate of himself when he iB sick; and this care should be observed in three main directions: 1. In recovering from any form of disease, keep abundantly and comfortably warm. 2. Studiously avoid taking cold. 8. Watch against over-exercise for several days or weeks. ... 4. Eat very moderately and at regular inter vals, of plain, nourishing food. If these four things are observed, relapses would be rare, and tho patient would be saved. The most difficult of the fcur Is to avoid eating too much; there is special danger of yielding to a craving for some particular kind of food.

The sleepiness or stupor arises from the fact that tho brain, and thence tho who'e nervous system, is oppressed by the disease; is wi ighed down; can't aot; goes to sleep and dies! Hall's Journal. A Man Dies of the Hiccoughs. One of the most singular cases of death that ever came within our province to mention, is that of Mil ton W. Blair, of Louisa county, who died last week in a town in California, of tbe hic coughs. Mr. Blair is an old merchant of Louisa county, but has not been engaged in business for a number of years. He has been residing near Morning Sun since retiring from bns ness. Last fall he wns attacked with a fit of hiccough ing, which continued for Rome weeks, with scarcely any intermission. Becoming alarmed at the long continuance of the epell, Mr. Blair came to Burlington to oonsult with a doc:or, who, after treating him awhile, declared he oould give him no relief. From this city he proceeded to Chicago, and oonsulted tbe best medical authorities there, who did all in tbeir power for him, but could not relieve him. By their advico he went to California, accompa nied by his sister, thinking that the change of climate would help him; remaining in that Stato to the time of his death, hiccoughing al most continually, and having but few interval of rest. Tho continued strain and distre-s wore him to a mere shadow of his former self, and laBt week his sister telegraphed to friends and relatives in this and Louisa oounties that he was dead, and she was bringing his remains on for burial. Burlirujlon (Iowa) Ilawkeye, Walking exerciso, as a means of health, is tho most praoticol and universally available of all other forms; it promotos the activity of the circulation; it enlivens the spiiits; exhilarates both body and brain, and, not least, it costB nothing. But to take a lively, ootivo, brisk, cheerful walk, which infuses a new energy into tho wholo being, thero should be a well-tUting shoe, and feot undeformed by corn or bunion, or other distortion; but, standing at any point on Broadway, and taking the first hundred persons over twonty years of age, for oxumiua tion as to tho rondilion of the feet, wo may foci very sure of not finding half a dozen which are n.tuml.

The Duration op Lifk. The following facts on tho duration of life appear in a Gorman pa per: In ancient Ilome.during the period between the years aOO and 300 A. D., the avtrago dura tion ol life among tho upper ota-ses was 30 years. In the present century, among the same olassos of people, it amouuts to GO years. Tn llio sixteenth century the moan duration ot life in Geneva was 21.21 years, between 18U and 1833 it was 10.G8. and at the present time as many pe oplo live to 70 yoars of age us 300 years ago lived to tho ago of 43.

It is not only necessary to know well how to tt-w or roa-t a p'ece of meat or any thing else, but to know ho to season it, to bo able to judge what quantity and what kin I of spires can be UBed to Benson such or such a dish, to what extent all the spice) used agree togither, and what taste aid flavor they will give to the object with which they are cooked; tor, if not properly used, tboy may just as likely destroy the taste and flavor of tbe object as improve it. Some disbi s require high and mnch seasoning, others just tbe contrary. With a good fire and a good Bpit it is not neces sary to be a thorough cook to roaBt a piece well, but the cok is iudispen-able to mix the gravy or sauce with the proper seasonii gs. Simmkbino.

FniiNQ That part of cooking is not as dif ficult as it is generally believed, aud properly friod objects are good and do not taste greasy. To fry requires care, and nothing fried will taste greasy if it has been dropped in fat prop erly heated and in enough of it to immerse the object. When an objoot tastes greasy, it is not because it baa been fried in grease, but because there was not enough of it, or because it was not properly heated, for, if heated enough, it closes the pores of the object and carbonizes the exterior, bo that it canuot absorb any. IIoabtino. When an obieot is placed on the spit according to directions, reniomb r that it cannot be basted too often. The time necessary for roasting a picoa of meat, or anything else, depends bb muoh upon the fire as upon tne na ture ot the meat. Meat especially requires to be placid very near the fire at first, aud then put back by degrees. There is nearly as muoh difference between roasted and baki d meat as there is between broiled and filed meat. It is generally admitted hero that English roast beef is so superior to American roast beef that it cannot be compared to it. It is not in the quality ot tho meat that the difference lies, bat In the process of cooking. Meat cannot be routed In an oven, be It fn an ordinary or in a patented one. That peculiar flavor in roasted meat is produoed by the air coming con stantly in contract with the heated meat while revolving on the spit.

The flower ot a Calla lily has been sent to the office of the Rural Fres3 as a ouriosity. To all appearance, and as far aa a careful investi gation with good authotities goes, it is a freak of nature in the veg- table kingdom. It is kindly sent by W. T. Be illy, assistant assayer of the mint, and as is understood, this Calla is from a plant at his house, 1519 Sacramento street. That the peculiarity of this flower may be fully understood, we will explain that the three principle parts of a flower, like tbe Calla, are called in botany tbe stem, the spathe and the spadix. The spadix is tbe yellow, granulated column that rises from the base of the floral envelope. This envelope, or white flower leaf, or bract, is technically called tbe spathe. Now, acccording to all descriptions and en gravings of numerous authorities consulted, and according to tbe exptri-uceof numerous per sons of whom inquiry has been made, we find no aocount of any separate species of Calla which has A Double Spathe. Yet such is the case undoubtedly with tho flower sent us. In the sp cimen under con sideration there is but one spadix crowning the stem, but it has a definite and distinct spathe or white flower leaf, on each side of it, one curving to tho right and the other to the loft. Will not any flotists who may have met with the same peculiarity iu Callas, have sufficient interest in tbe subject to inform us if it is a common occurrence? De Oandolle mrely hinfB at what may be a solution of the difficulty in his work on the Philosophy of Plants. In dei-oribing a spathe in general ho says it m iy consist of one or more braclece. or bracts, but be does not assert thore that the Colli lily muy havo the two bract. Still his aseiton mny give tbe true solution without making it necessary to call tbe iloutio form a separate species. To stud ntsof botany it muy be of inierest to know tl at the Calla belongs, according to Lindley.to the order OronJiaceo. or Oroutiads.

In answer to "Alphabetical," in your last isoe, for a remedy for consumption in its first stages, I can recommend Dr. Pierce's "Golden Medical Discovery," if taken aceordii g to directions, for it has been thoroughly tried in my family, and the results were glorious. "Alphabetical" must not expect one bottle to do the work my wile took three bottles be'ore sue could discover any change, but after the third bottle every dose seemed to strengthen ths lungs, and now ihe Is well and hearty.

Our intimate knowledge of the various in ventions of this coast, and long practice in patent business, enable us to abundantly satisfy our patrons; and our success and business are constantly increasing. The shrewdest and most experienced Inventort are found among our most steadfast friends and patrons, who fully appreciate our advan tages in bringing valuable inventions to the notice of the public through the columns of our widely circulated, first-class journals thereby facilitating their introduction, sale and popularity. Foreign Patents. In addition to American Patents, wo secures with the assistance 01 co-operauvo agent, claims in all foreign conntries which grant Patents, including Great Britain, France, Belgium, Prussia, Austria, Victoria, Peru, Russia, Spain, British India, Saxony, Bntisb Columbia, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Mexico, Victoria, Brazil, Bavaria, Holland, Den mark, Italy, Portugal, Cuba, Roman States, Wurtemberg, New Zealand, New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania, Brazil, New Grenada, Chile, Argentine Republic, AND EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD where Patents are obtainaDie. No models are required in European coun tries, but the drawings and specifications should bo prepared with thoroughness, by able persons who are familiar with the re quirements and changes of foreign patent law9 agents who are reliable and perma nently established. Our schedule prices for obtaining foreign pat ents, in all caaes, will always be as low, and in some instances lower, than those of any other responsible agenoy. We txin ana do get foreign patents for inventoj in the Pacifio States from two to six montfll (according to the location of the country soonkb than any other agents. Home Counsel. Our long experience in obtaining patents for Inventors on this Coast has familiarized us with the character of most of the inventions already patented; hence we are frequently able to save our patrons the cost of a fruitless application by pointing them to the game thing already covered by a patent. We are always free to advise applicants of any knowledge we have of previous applications which will interfere with their obtaining a patent. We invite the acquaintance of all parties con nected with inventions and patent right busi ness, believing that the mutual conference of legitimate business and professional men is mutual gain. Parties in doubt in regard to their rights as assignees of patents, or pur chasers of patented articles, can often receive advice of importance to them from a short call at our office. Remittances of money, made by individual in ventors to the Government, sometimes mis carry, and it has repeatedly happened that applicants have not only lost their money but their inventions also, from this cause and consequent delay. We hold ourselves re sponsible for all fees entrusted to our agency. The principal portion of the patent business of this coast has been done, and is still being done, through our agency. We are familiar with, and have full records, of all former cases, and can more directly judge of the value and patentability of inventions discov ered here than any other agents. Situated so remote from the seat of government, delays are even more dangerous to the invent ors of the Pacitlo Coast than to applicants in the Eastern States. Valuable patents may be loBt by the extra time consumed in transmit ting specifications from Eastern agencies back to this coast for the signature of the inventor. Confidential. We take great pains to preserve secrecy in all confidential matters, and applicants for pat ents con rest assured that their communi cations and business transactions will be held strictly confidential by us. Circulars free. Engravings. We have superior artists in our own office, and all facilities for producing fine and satisfac tory illustrations of inventions and machinery, for newspaper, book, circular and other printed illustrations, and are always ready to assist patrons in bringing their valuable is coveries into practical and profitable use.
