Whiskey Knocking A Cold

There is much samencss of appearance

Meeting the waters Of the Mediterranean

states, q in the course of November,
there will be continued navigation be-
tween the Red Sea and the Mediterran-

ticient for the drag scows to transport
from Port Said the coal required. for the
use of the mail steamers Of India, and
these drag scows, on their return, will
be freighted with stone from the quarries
of Djibel- -Geneffe, for the construction Of

will be important, for coal previous to the

and the same landed at Port Said was

dition to this, the expense Of land trans

DR.. Wlndship Raises Twenty
Six Hundred Pounds.

DR.. George Windshp now raises daily
the extraordinary weight of twenty.six
hundred pounds, His office in Park
Street Church Building, Boston, is daily
throaged with the curious as well as those
who are desrous of learning the art of
how to be strong. In one corner of the
room stands his famous lifting machine
This consists Of solid frame work Of
wool, about seven feet in height, with a
platform about half way up upon which
the doctor stands to 60 through his daily
exercise. A shoulder-bar and two heavy
chains form the connection between him.
self and the weights, which by the way
are suspended directly under the platform
and consist of iron disks Of circular
form, resting one upon the other, and held
together by means of a stout iron rod
running through the centre Of each. Sur
rounding these disks are long, slim bars
of iron, running transvcrsely, and made
to be detached or joined to the main
body. They arc arranged in this manner
SO as to graduate weight-onc being ad-
ded as often as is required by the increas-
ing strength of the practitioner. They
are each Of twenty-five pounds weight
The whole body of iron suspended in this
manner, and which is raised daily by
Wind.hip, is c,G00 pounds. DR.. Wind
ship thinks he shall continue his expert
ment until he can raise 5000 pounds
This, he believes, is the practical limit for
one Of his organization and constitution,
bat he is of the opinion that men superior
to him il these mentioned points may be
trained to raise fa- greater weights.
In another corner Of the room small
horseshoe magnet, suspended by cord,
attracts the attention Of all visitors
Curiosity centres upon this triae from
the following circumstances DR.. Wind
ship began his experiment by suspcnding
an ordinary horseshoe magnet and adding
a little weight every day to the poles.-
Finding that the sustaining power Of the
magnet became at length very much iu-
creased, it occurred to him that His own
body might be wonderful strengthened
by subjee.ipg it to a somewhat sinilat
process. Putting in practice the idea
thus suggested, he has succeeded Id dug.
mcntlng more than sit fold His original
lifting power, and that, too without iiicct-
ting with single serious accident.
Among the objects Of interest in his
apartments are an iron club of one hun
dred and thirty-seven pounds, dumb
bell of one hundred and eighty a lifting
apparatus for patients, &C.. &c.
We understand that the doctor does not
advocate carrying development to its ex-
treme, yet. he insists on judicious course
of graduated lifting in connection with
remedical agent in dyspepsia, hillary at
fections, general debility and several
forms Of pulmonary disease.
