Dyspepsia and its Remedies.

DIR. A. O'LEARY lectured recently, in
the Cooper Institute, on Dyspepsia" In
dications of disturbance of the stomach
are, he said, caused by the fermentation
of food. No one should eat cabbage
boiled with meat, or onions with steaks,
as they create billiousness. Cabbage is
one of the best articles of food when it is
cooked properly. 1t should be boiled in
pure water. As cure for dyspepsia, he
recommended teaspoonful of carbonate
of soda, which neutralizes the acid in the
stomach. The causes ofdyspepsia are the
use of butter, grease, gravy, and eating too
hastily. Dyspepsia does not come from
large eating. Those afflicted with it
should take a short sleep after dinner.
The liver has much to do with dyspepsia.
Whenever the white of the eye shows a
yellow tinge, it proceeds from the liver.
Tenderness in the pit of the stomach is an
indication of diseased liver. A slight
pain under the right ribs, and back to the
shoulder blade, also proceeds from the
liver. Those that are prone to this disease
should not sleep too much, or enjoy too
much heat-too much heat tends to en-
large the liver Fruit and vegetable diet
is the best that can be adopted, but persons
of weak constitution should add to it
meat once day, but not oftener, and
bread if properly made. Persons afflicted
with dyspepsia should not use calomel
The lecturer recommended Turkish baths
to be taken as they relieve the liver.

Sister Brown Gratifies her Curiosity.

WE suppose everybody who lives in a
city has sometimes wondered what those
curiously painted images are made of, that
stand by certain shop doors, with bunch
of cigars in one hand, while they invite
the customers to enter with the other.
Some of them are as hideous as they are
disgusting, and we often wonder why
such leering, vulgar images are used to at
tract customers.
Sister Brown was one of the primest
and most correct maiden ladies, but she
was very curious, and prone to crafty her
inquiring mind to the utmost, and that
was why we were all glad when she met
with the following contretemps::
She was going home from an evening
lecture, rather late at night for single
lady to be upon the street alone, when it
occurred to her that it would be favora-
BILE opportunity for her to examine the
new Indian image that had been set up on
the street, and which had puzzled her a
good deal.
She had often asked of what was it
made, but had received no satisfactory an
swer, and had determined, when an op-
portunity did present itself, to examine the
curious figure.
The opportune moment had arrived.
Sister Brown looked in every direction,
and feeling certain she was not observed,
advanced toward what she supposed to be
the image, standing in the shadow of .

deep recess, but, unfortunately, was po-
iceman.
Sister Brown gave him punch, pinched
him, then gave another punch, all of
which the policeman bore in silence.
Then she attempted to take his hand to
feel for the cigars, when, to her horror, he
returned her pressure with right good will.
The astonishment of the maiden lady can
be imagined but not described, when a
grum voice cried out
"Sister Brown, what do you want of
me-"
The policeman said he had seen good
many folks travel, but he never saw a
woman measure the ground as Sister

the retina ceases and the nerves of the
The next organs which cease their &C.
tivity during the process of falling asleep
are the ears. Possessing no closing ap
paratus like the eyes, they do not so easily
enter into a state of rest. Here, so to
speak, sleep has to struggle for its rights.
The best example of this we may find in
our own experience, if we have been so
unfortunate, or shall l say fortunate, as to
fall asleep under a tedious lecture or ser
mon. After We have gradually lost the
thread OF discourse, and our eyes are en-
joying their well-earned rest, the words
still continue to sound in our ears, but we
are no longer in a condition to recognize
and understand them. Gradually they be-
come more confused, and at length end in
a dull and articulate murmur, which seems
to withdraw itself farther and farther from
us, until at last it is entirely lost.
In the meantime, the sensitiveness of
the skin begins to be lessened. In vain our
friendly neighbor wearies himself to save
us from the annoyance of falling asleep,
by gently pushing us and treading on our
toes. All his efforts fail. Sensation, if not
altogether lost, is so materially lowered
that it will respond only to strong provo
cation. The senses of smell and taste

this, and the best opportunity for observ
ing it is when, wearied by an uninterest
ing discourse, we must sleep sitting. Who
has not been grieved to find the imperti
nent muscles of his neck suddenly refus
ing to carry his head upright? And a.
long as the struggle between sleeping ant
waking is continued, there IS exhibited t.
the mischievous spectator, the highly
amusing, but treacherous nodding of thu

Thus the body has, like frugal house
keeper, discharged it's obligations, and un
sparingly reduced all expenditure, for mer
| pleasure and luxury. But this is no
enough; it materially curtails the charge

renewal of its substance. The action O

The SpOiIs of the War.

OFFICIAL statistics of the captures of
the war are given in the German papers.
The figures are almost unprecedentedly
large. At the end of November, the
number of unwounded prisoners in Ger
man towns and fortresses amounted to
10,067 officers and 3OS,S42 non-commis
stoned officers and privates. At the same
time the Germans had taken 4,200 guns,
10 mitrailleurs, and 112 eagles, and during
the past two months the number of pris
oners and trophies has been enormously
increased by the transfer of French
wounded to German hospitals, and by the
spoils seized on the surrender of Paris.
At Sedan alone, the Germans took S15
ammunition wagons, 160 gun carriages,
355 baggage and commissariat wagons. 81
field smithies, $1,000 rifles, $500 cavalry
sabres, 90J,00) infantry cartridges, 10000
cannon balls, $4,000 grenades, etc. In
Metz, 2,400 gun carriages, 1900 wagons,
100000 rifles, 2S0,0G0 kilogrammes OF
powder, etc, fell into their hands. Schel.
stadt gave them 122 gun carriages, 5000
rifles, and $50 tons of powder.

The Hazards OF Winter.

The feeble and delicate dread the winter, and
with good reason. The weather at this season has
a depressing effect upon the vital organs and the
animal spirirs and they have no vitality or mental
animation to spare. The aged and inhrm, in whom
the flame OF life is waxing dim, are always un-
pleasantly affected by the temperature OF winter,
and should fortify their systems against it. The
extra vgor and resistant power which the enfeebed
system rexuires to enable it to meet with safety
the assaults Of cold and damp, may soon be ac-
quired by the regular use Of Hostetters Stomach
Bitters. The tonic effect Of this wonderful medi-
cine is soon apparent, in an increased appetite,
more active digestion, and brighter, happier

An Extemporaneous Ice-HOuse.

THERE are multitudes of farmers, and
mechanics even, deferred from saving ice
for themselves, by the cost of an ice-house,
although they can be made of the rudest
materials and with home labor We can
extemporize an ice-house without making
tenon or saving board. Construct u
pen near the pond or stream where the ice
is to be gathered, choosing if possible
gravel bank where there will be good
drainage. The pen may be made of rails
twelve feet long, or of any desired length.
The larger the pen, the better the ice will
keep. Lay up two rails upon each of the
four sides. Make the bottom level, and
cover itaf lot or more with straw, sea-weeds,
or any convenient refuse vegetable matter.
Sawdust is better than straw, if it can be
had. Spent tan-bark is good material
for this foundation. Cut the cakes of ice
| in the usual manner, and pack them closely,
| filling the interstices with pounded ice,
and it the weather is freezing pour on a
little water to make it solid. Pack 1.-The
outside with a foot of straw, sawdust, or
other material, and put up the fence as the
pile of ice rises. The pile can be conven-
iently made about eight feet high. Cover
the top with at least eighteen inches OF
sawdust, or two feet of straw trodden down
closely. Make roof of boards or slabs
