Acidity.

Acidity of stomach always arises from that
organ not being able to digest. to work up
the food eaten, to extract the nutriment
which it contains, hence two results: First
the food decays, that is, rots, becomes sour
and generates sour gas, which is beched
up, causing burning or raw sensation
located apparently at the little hollow at the
bottom of the neck. or in that vicinity
Sometimes an acid fluid is generated and is
belched up, and so very sour occasionally as
to take the skin off some parts of the throat,
mouth or lips. Second, the food not being
properly worked up, does not give out its
nourishment, the system is not fed, and con-
sequently becomes weak, the circulation
becomes feeble, the feet grow habitually
cold the person is easily chilled and breads
going out of doors is happest when hug
ging the fire, and takes cold so easily that
the expression is frequently used, {" the least
thing in the world gives me cold.' When
such a condition is reached these colds are so
frequently repeated that before one is cured
another comes, and there is a perpetual cough
which the most unintelligent know is the GER
tain harbinger, the forerunner of consump.
ton of the lungs.
When persons are troubled with indiges.
ton, and one of its effects, aciditv, the
advice given in nearly all cases is to take
something to correct the acidity, such as
cream OF tartar, soda, salaratus, ammonia.
the ley of wood ashes, and other alkalies.-
These things correct the acidity, but the
stomach gets no power of better digestion,
the effects as far as sensation is concerned are
removed, but the system continues to be
improperly nourished the man gr pws thin.
ner, and weaker; and with wasting of flesh
and strength, there is diminished power of
circulation; the person becomes chilly, colds
are taken from slight causes and at diminish
ing intervals, and before he knows it he has
an annoying, hacking cough, which to often
ends in wasting fatal disease.
When acidity follows eating. it is always
because there has been an error in the guam
tity or quality of the food eaten the stomach
could not manage it, could not perform the
work imposed upon it, The true remedy is
to eat less and less at each meal, until no
acidity is perceptble; or to change the uuai.
ity of food; and in a short time the stomach
not being overtasked gets time to rest, to
recuperate, to get strong then it digests it
better, with the inevitable result of a more
vigorous constitution, more power of endu-
rance, more strength of body and greater
elasticity of mind, more happiness and a
spirit and energy to grapple with lifes duties
which makes existence a pleasure.-HaH's
Journal of Health.

his own defence, and that if Gonzaga had
any design upon his life, he might always
be master of it. Then taking the sword by
the point, he presented it to the prince, who
was so irritated at being foiled with all his
attendants, that he instantly ran Crichton
through the heart.
Various have been the conjectures con-
corning the motives which could induce
Nlncentio de Gonzaga to be guilt of so
brutal and ungenerous an action. Some
have ascribed it to jealousy, assert hat
he suspected Crichton to be more in favor
than himself with lady whom he passion
ately loved; while others, with greater
probability, represent the whole transaction
as the result of drunken frolic; and it is
uncertain, according to Imperialis, whether
the meeting of the prince and Crichton was
by accident or design. 1t is, however, agreed
by all. that Crichton lost his life in this rem.
counter.
The time Of his decease is said, by the
generality of his biographers, to have been
in the beginning of July, 1888, but Lord
Buchan fixes 1T in the same month Of the
preceding year. The common account de-
cares that he was killed in the SD year of
his age, but Imperialis asserts that he was
only In his 32d year at the period of that
tragical event, and this fact is confirmed by
the nobleman just mentioned.
Crichton's tragical end excited very
great and general lamentation. If Sir
Thomas Urquhart is to be credited, the
whole court of Mantua went into mourning
for him three quarters of year; the epi-
taphs and elegies composed upon his death,
would exceed, if collected, the bulk of
Homer's works; and for a long time after
wards, his picture was to be seen in most of
the bed-chambers and galleries of the
Italian nobility, representing him on horse
back with a lance in one hand and a book in
the other. The same author tells US, that
Crlchton gained the esteem of kings and
princes by his magnanimity and knowledge
OF noblemen and gentlemen by his courtli-
ness, breeding and wit of the rich by his
atfability and good company; of the poor by
his munificence and liberality of the old by
his constancy and wisdom of the young by
his mirth and gallantry of the learned by
his universal knowledge of the soldiers by
his, undaunted valor and courage of the
merchants and dealers by his upright deal.
ing and honesty; and of the fair sex by his
beauty, In which respect he was master

" ANOTHER O. THEM KINGS. The flag.
ship of our squadron, which lay last winter,
few days, at Genoa, was visited bv the
King of Bavaria with his numerous and re.
splendent suite. The visitors were received
with due style and speedily distributed
themselves about the vessel, while the King

One of the gold lace attendants strolled on
deck and, to the astonishment of an old tar
on watch, went up and leaned against the
canvas ventilator, which came up through
the hatchway from the regions below. Be-
fore the sailor could say word that which
the gold lace man took to be mast had
yielded to his weight and let him, urgently,
down the hatchway. Jack was horrorstruck,
but dared not report the circumstance to the
officer on deck for fear of consequences to
himself, so he went on quietly with his work.
The next time he looked up, horror upon
horror it was to see the same mistake re-
peated and another cooked hat and gold
laced coat disappear abruptly by the same
trap door of doom. This was too much /:
defying results and ignoring self, Jack went
straight to the officer, and, as calmly as be
