CREAM OF OUR EXCHANGES.

A cotemporary says that Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Hay, of Milo, Bureau county, have obeyed the
scripture injunction to multiply the earth, in q
manner worthy to be initiated by all patriotic
citizens. Last week the fourteenth little Hay
was born to them. That father is evidently
competent to write book on what know about
haymaking.
At Dixon one of the lady attaches of the Eu-
ropeau circus went bathing in secluded portion
OF Rock river. A speculative individual "formed
Q ring" and collected severty.fve cents for
peep through the bushes The rush to the show,
principally from moral fellows. ''conscientiously
opposed to patronizing circuses," was 'tremenjus.
-LGcon Home Journal.
That "lady attache of the European circus"
needs looking after. Her bathing pranks are
evidently dodge in the nature of a side show.
She did the same trick at Streator, at Peoria, at
Wilmington, and there's no telling how many
other places. As q "moral show" she's fraud.
The editor of the Freeport Journal is evidently
tract dies:
For example of perseverance commend as to
ny. Bees are all right in the busy line, but
for clear, sheer, Haadulterated perseverance,, fly
10 good health can just skunk any other living
thing. To light five hundred times in succession
on the same place on a mans nose, and dodge q
slap every time, is what any fly of the most mod
crate ability can do, ut any time he has mind
to, and when fly of talent undertakes job of
that kind, one may as we'll quietly submit and
let him roost where he wants tn Just as long as
he peases, because he will do it finally if it takes
him all summer.

Sea-SicknCsS Cnrahle.

I am much surprised at the opinion
which is SO prevalent, of the utter in
durability of sea sickness. [ believe
the opinion to exist among the the nom
medical part of the community from
sheer ignorance, and amongst sea-
going surgeons from supineness in
applying remedies-a fault to which
they are rather too subject. In the
greater number of instances I allow
the stomach to discharge it's contents
once or twice, and then, if there is no
organic disease, [ give five drops of
chloroform in little water, and II nee
essary, repeat the dose in four or six
hours. The almost constant effect of
this treatment, if enjoined with few
simple precautions, it to cause an i'm
mediate sensation, as it were, of
warmth In the stomach, accompanied
by almost total relief of the nausea
and sickness, likewise curing the dis
tressing headache, and usually causing
ACUTE sleep, from which the passenger
awakes quite well.

-. REVIEWER,

Every year increases the popula1i-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIRto its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands By its use, the hair
grows, thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create q new growth, except in
extreme old age. It is the most eco
nomical HAIR DREssING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayerof Massachusetts, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality !;
and [ consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for it's intended purposes"

The Universal Safeguard.

1t useless for State Legislatures to pass laws for
the preservation of the public health, if the great
law of self-preservation, which depends for its
forcement upon the will of the individual is suffer-
ed to remain a dead letter.
There is scarcely adult member of the COM
munity, of either sex, in the country, who has not
seen the testimony in favor of Hosteters Stomach
Bitters, furnished over their signatures by per-
sons of acknowledged eminence in science, litera-
ture. art commerce, and every department of BUSH
ness and professional life. These witnesses have
declared in the most explicit terms that the prepare
ton is a safeguard against epidenics, sovereign
remedy for dyspepsia, valuable ambitious medi-
cine, promoter of appetite, genial and harmless
stinulant, good acclmating medicine, a strength
ener of the nerves, general invigorant, protec-
ton against the deleterous effects of malaria and
impure water, and that it imparts degree of vigor
and activity to the vital forces which is not cou-
nlcated by any other of the tonics and stomachics
in use. Under these circumstances the seH-preser-
vatiye law of nature should teach every rational
person who, either by reason of adherent debility
or III consequence of exposure to unwholesome in.
fuences is in peril of losing the greatest of all tenn
poral blessings health the Importance of using the
Bitters defensive medicine. Dyspeptics who
neglect to give it trial simply their own enc
mics. 1t is guaranteed to cure indigestion in all its
| forms, and the bilious and nervous will find moth
ing in the whole range of oficna1 and proprietary
medicines which viii afford them the relief.

A Notable Strike in England.

The strike of the mill operatives in
the prosperous manufacturing town of
Oldham, England has attracted much
attention. The town is six miles from
Manchester, has nearly 200 cotton
mills. all operated by steam, and a
population of upwards of 100, 0O0
The condition of the Oldham opera
tives have for a long time been except
ionably good. During the cotton fam
inc, caused by our war, the men were
in good and constant employment in
improving the sanitary condition of
the town, which was previously good,
owing to the elevated site on which the
town is built. Since that time the
growth of the town has been so rapid as
to cause an active competition for Ia
Dor and this has worked the natural
result Of increasing wages. Thus it
has happened that the prices paid for
labor in Oldham are now 20 per cent.
higher than they were ten years ago,
and Is per cent. higher than in Man.
chester, only six miles away. But their
degree of prosperity was not satisfac-
tory to the Oldham operatives They
have heretofore worked sixty hours a
week, all the factories closing at 2
o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday.
A few weeks ago they demanded that
the time should be shortened two hours
a week by closing on Saturday noon.
The demand was refused by the mill
owners, who offered to compromise by
closing at 1 o'clock, and ON the fail
ure of negotiations on this basis the
entire working population of the town
went on strike. The suspension
lasted several weeks at an enormous
expense, and was attended with the
usual outrages and riots that take
place When whole town is idle. The
last accounts indicated that the difficult
ty was to be settled in novel way.
No benevolent association" assumed
the control Of the men, but they were
to be asked individually, to vote by
ballet whether the owners terms should
be accepted or not. The temper of
the operatives was such that it was
expected that the terms would be
accepted, and probably before this the
whole difficulty has ended.

The Fastest Train in the World,

The new express train from Plymouth
to London will probably be the fastest
train in the world in the part of it's
journey which lies over the Bristol and
Exeter and Great Western railways.
Leaving Exeter at 1890, it is timed to
reach Padington at 2:45, including q
stoppage of five minutes at Bristol and
the inevitable and vexatious ten min
utes at Swindon, and the journey of
1874 miles will occupy four hours and a
quarter. The Irish Limited mail, hith-
erto considered the fastest train, occu-
pies six hour and thirty-fve minutes
between London and Holyhead, being
at the pace of ITO miles in only four
hours and quarter. The fastest train
on the Great Northern line is between
London and Peterborough, seventy
six miles, which IS done in one hour
and. thirty seven minutes; but the
Great Western accelerated express will
run from Swindon to London, seventy
seven miles, in one hour and twenty.
seven minutes. The 11:45 train from
Paddington will perform the journey to
Plymouth in only five minutes more
than the new up express.
