Eating Fruit.

FRUIT should be eaten alive, like oysters
There is an edge to the taste of fresh
opened oyster, which comes, i sup.
pose, from the surprise he feels at being
suddenly scooped out OF his shell, In a
few minutes this gives place to a feeling Of
alarms and then, In an houror two, 20 one
of despair. When he is laid out with his
brethren IN o dish, the whole brood Is
hopeless and sad. They may still taste of
life, but II Is of life disappointed. But the
fresh-opened oyster has no time TO grow
teverish or melancholy. He is caught in
state Of serene unconsclousness of sor.
row. He has sound mind In q sound
body, and is observation-disclosures and nice
Allow him to reflect before his dissolution,
and the brightness of his spirit is gone.
But the quick operation of detaching him
from his shell sends a spasm through his
being, which startles all the latent excel
lence he may possess into sudden and
unique perfection. IL eaten at this crisis
of his healthful powers he conveys all the
qualification which an oyster is capable Of
giving to thesaperiOT animal man. "4h

TIE Boston Adpertiser publishes the
following valuable hint: "It has been
found by the French in their military ex-
perience in Algeria that the liability to
sun-stroke is much diminished, if not
done away with, by wearing nothing tight
around the neck or throat Hence their
military uniforms are made without col
lars and the throat and neck are entirely
bare. The philosophy of it is that the
circulation of blood to the head is thus en-
tirely unimpeded Attention to this may
be of service in these days of extreme hot

This composition will weigh three
hundred and sixtyseight pounds,
which is little more than two
and a half cents per pound. TO render
the above paint fit for use, to every eight
pounds add one quart of the Incorporated
oil, and one quart flinseed oil, and 1t will
be found n paint with every requisite
quality, as well of beauty as Of durability
and cheapness, and in this state Of prepar.
alton does not cost FIVE cents per pound.
The following is the mode of mixing
the ingredients First pour six gallons Of
lime-water into largo tub, then throw in
one hundred and twelve pounds of
whiting stir It round well with n stirrer,
let 1t settle FOR about an hour, and stir
ii again. The painter may then put in
the one hundred and twelve pounds of
road dirt, mix 1t we'll, and add the blue
black, after which the yellow ochre; and
when all Is tolerably blended, take it out
of the tub, and put Il on large board or
platform, and, with a laborers shovel, mix
and work itabout as they do mortar. Now
add the wet blue, which must be previ-
ously ground in the Incorporated oil, (as il
will not grind or mix with any other oil
When this Is added to the mass, you may
begin TO thin II with the incorporated oil
In the proportion of one quart to every
eight pounds, and then the linseed oil in
the same proportion, and it is ready to be
put into casks for use.

DR.. WOLCoTT is man of business He has

time to snatch lunch People OF common sense
know that he means just what he says He has too
much homer to make single false statement.
1t Is needless for us to state the he has al
ready achieved in the sale of his old standard
rmedy, the ANNIHILATOR, universally patron
lied for Catarrh and Colds in the head, which is to-
day the only leading and reliable remedy for thai
loathsome yet universal complaint. Stll more,
he now puts up the ANNlHILATOR in pints In
stead Of hdg pthts, and makes 1t one quarter
stronger and more efficient. He has cured, by the
use of this invaluable medicine, not only thou
sands of almost hopeless cases of CataTrh, but
hundreds OF weak nerves. Many a man whose
hands trembled TO such degree that it was i'm
possible to read newspaper without laying it on
desk, and who could scarcely write their name
once week, find immediate benefit Pint bottles
hold three of the 80 cent bottles and he sells fifty
pint bottles TO one the smaller size. Thousands
suffer who would be wholly restored from that
disgusting disease CATARItH, which leads direct
ly TO lung complaints, dyspepsia, weak nerves,
pain in the side and stomach and liver complaint
few are bold enough to deny it. Nothing ever
taken into the stomach can cure IT, for the disease
is in the head You might as well put plaster on
the foot to curc an ulcer on the hand. Catarrh Is
an liberation in the head and running sore; the
matter falls in the throat and clogs It; at night
runs down 10 the stomach and undermines the
whole constitution. .. .
Catarrh snuff will always produce Catarrh and
aggravate the disease. A sneeze is natures most
emphatic No, and dust of any kind is most posi-
lively injurious.
You must cure the fostering ulcer in the head
and the diniculty In the throat and stomach, from
this load OF phlegm constantly pouring from the
head, Is removed. 1t must be cleaned out, in
