what will soon be the probable result In q
short time, If on continue to neglect yourse f
you will begin to feel sense tightness anC
opp ession across the chest, accompanied with
frequent sharp dartng pains. Then dry
hacking cough will set in, and when you raise
any thing it will be u thick and yellowish, or
white trothy matter, streaked perhaps with
blood If you still take no medicine, these un-
peasant symptoms will increase, and you will
soon have hectic fever cold chilIs, night sweats,
cOpiOus expectOrition, and then great prOstra :
lion. If you still neglect yourself, few weeks
or months will see you co signed to the rave,
leaving your friends to mourn how rapidly
consumption did its work, and hurried YOU
away. Friend! have you no cause to be alarmed
In the above sketch you NAV see in glass,
how every case ol consumption progresses, with
ore or less rapuity, TO a fatal ternination.-
Oi all the thousands and millions whom this
great Destroyer has gathered to the tomb, ever,

been attended to, all might have been well !;
but, being neglected, under the fatal delusion
that il wOuu "wear self off," il transferred its

exciting there the formation of tubarcles.-
Another, and another cold added fuel to the
flame, until tlesc tuLercles began TO soften and
suppurate, leaving, by their liberation, great
cavities in the Lungs. At this crisis the dis
ease is cry difficult Ol cure, ana oflentimes sci

Hair.-A writer in a late number of the Lon-
don Quarterly Review furnishes the following
information on this subject:
"London imports about five tons of human
hair annually. Black hair comes mainly from
Brittany and the south of France, where it is
collected principally by one hair merchant, who
travel from fair to fair, and buys up, and shears
the crops of the neighborhood damsels. A
traveller in Brittany describes the peasant girls
as attending at the fairs with their beautiful
tresses, perfectly willing to sell out. He saw
several girls sheared, one after another, like
sheep, and as many more standing ready for the
shears with their caps in their hands, and their
long hair combed out and hanging to their
waists. By the side of the dealer was placed
a large basket, into which the successive crops
of hair were thrown, each tied up in a wisp by
itself. For head of hair about twenty sous in
money is given, or gaudy handkerchief. This
hair is the finest and most silken that can be
produced. Light hair comes from Germany,
where it is collected bya company of Dutch
farmers, who 60 over to England for orders
once year. And, who know from what source
come these pendant tresses cleaning in the,
gas-light, with which our blooming Ewes, pat
ly entangling their snaky coil with their own,
tempts our eligible Adams"

Cheap Liping-We commend to our read
ers the following brief recipe for cheap living,
taken from Thomas Moore's Diary. Itmay per-
haps afford some hints in these days, when
beef and potatoes, and all other gastric furni-
ture are sold at such transeendental prices:
December 2sth,'ls23, dined at Bowood Je-

agreeable. In talking of cheap living, he men,

almost nothing, "for on Sunday" said he Il

eat so much that it lasts until Wednesday, when
buy some tripe, which hate like the very de-
vii, and which, accordingly, makes me so sick
that cannot eat any more until Sunday again.

Magic.--Amonr the most successful expe

Magic.--Among the most successful expert
mente la Chinese are those being made bv
Monsieur Herbert, a French gentleman, who
has been exhibiting for some time in Paris, and
has lately established himself temporarily in
London. In our foreign files we find full des.
crptions Of his mode of operating. He plants
geraniums in deep box of garden mould
which has been prepared by some chemical
manure, and then covers the whole with glass
shade. He nexts proceeds to pour over the
roots, a chemical mixture, which, uniting with
the ingredients already in the earth, produces
apparently great heat, for an intense steam or
vapor is evolved under the glass. The vapor
is partially allowed to escape through small
hole in the top of the shade, which has been
previosly kept closed. In about five or six
minutes the buds begin to blow, and in ten
minutes the plants are in full bloom. To sat
isfy the spectators that what they see is not an
optical allusion, the exhibitor plucks the flow
ers and distributes them among the ladies ofthe
audience, as Signor Blitz, ofimmortal memory,
is wont, about Christmas time, to deal out su-
gar plumbs among wondering children at the
Chinese Museum. Rose bushes in like mans
ner, are made to bloom.
Truly, this is "a momentous age" when con-
tinents can be crossed in day or two by Paci-
fc railroads, and ladies can, at an hours notice,
make plants bloom for dinper or a ball.

A City soith Twezue Thousand Inhabitants
Destroyed-In the foreign news by the Allan
tic, it is stated that, on the first of May, the
city of Shiraz, in Persia, was destroyed, with
twelve thousand of its inhabitants, by the shock
of an earthquake. This is the second city in
Persia, and in former years had population of
10000 persons, but an earthquake in 1924
nearly destroyed it. 1t was formerly place
of great beauty, and is celebrated by the Per-
sian poet Hafz, who was native of Shiraz, for
its beauty and fertility. Since the earthquake
of 1924, it has greatly declined in both, most
of its public structures having been ruined by
that calamity.
