Indigestion is not dangerous, say the faculty.
Perhaps not in itself while it remains mere indiges-
Eon but look at the consequences to which it may
lead, and often does lead when it becomes chronic
disease. spark of fire is small thing pressure
of the foot will put it OUT breath will extingush
it. Yet it may fire powder mill, or kindle fame
that will consume city, In like manner Indigestion
may produce gastrits, cancer of the stomach, con-
gestion of the bowels apopexy, liver disease, and
many other dangerous maladies. Is it not wise,
then, to check it in the germ? Nothing is more
clearly and undisputsbly established than that Hos
letters Stomach Bitters will eradicate dyspepsia in
all its stages The true policy however is to extin-
guish it in the first stages with this wholesome pow
erfu and infalbe tonic and Alternative It is easier
to quench spark than fame and it is easier to
cure dyspepsia when it is first developed than when
1t has made headway by neglect, and become compli
Gated with other ailments. There is not the shadow
of doubt that the bitters directly antagonist
&c to dyspepsia water is to fire. There are thou
sands of cases on record proving this fact The
remedy is safe and agreeable. All the LIQUORS of
commerce prescribed as stiaulants, leave sting
behind. But the sting is taken out of the spirtuous
basis of this great remedy by vegetable medication
and, moreover, the stimul2nt thus medicated is of
exceptional purity. Of all toncs taken as safeguards
remedies for fever and aeue, bilious remittents
and other fall epidemics, it the only one that can
uniformly be depended upon.

Chinese Charity.

The Chinese merchants of San Fran
cisco have given 81, 1886 in, aid of the
Chicago sufferers. In one case a ner-
chant addressed one Of the collectors
as follows: ''Me leadee in Alta, Nell
can man town all same haf -burnee
up. Mclean man wantee dollar. Some
time poor Mclean man strikee China
man with bilks; Chinaman no care.
How muchee dollar you wantee? Hun
died dollar Alice light. You not
find enough money, Gomez me again :;
give another bundled" There is a
whole sermon preached in these few
sentences of pigeon-English. The
Chinese are, according to the Los An
geles creed, but an inferior race, fit to
be mobbed, prosecuted and murdered,
with no rights which a white man is
bound to respect, and this is the way
they prove it.

How Artificial Diamonds are Made.

Artificial diamonds are made of a
peculiar glass called strass. This
glass has a property of refracting light
in the same way as the diamond, and
its manufacture has been carried to
such perfection that an ordinary OBJ
server cannot distinguish gems made
of it from real diamonds. After a few
years, these diamonds tend to crystal
ize, so that in ten years they become
turbid and lose all their 1ustre.
These stones, however, can
always be distinguished by a practical
lapidary by various tests, such as hard
ness and peculiarities in cutting. Dia-
monds are also initiated by q system
called "blockage," in which avery thin
slab of diamond is cemented to some
stone, such as quartz or white topaz.
Other real stones, such as zireon and
topaz, when they are colored, or only
slightly colored, are passed off as dia-
monds. 1t is generally supposed that
diamonds are white, but they are of all
colors. False diamonds are made al
most entirely in Paris, Alaska and
California diamonds are only quartz or
rock quartz. 5sa

On the Wrong Track.

Two would-be Nimrods of the goodly
city of Sacramento anticipated the APP
pearanee of the sun above the horizon
a few days ago, and rose from their
SAUNDERS at the early hour of 3 A. NJ,
ACQUIRED in all the habiliments neces-
sary for the chase, and equipped with
rifles, guns, powder, game-bags and
shot, our valiant hunters started off for
a fifteen mile drive to their chosen
hunting grounds. Cold and dark was
the morning, and they urged their steed
to do his best, marvelling somewhat at
the hard surface of the road. After
riding about an hour, the possibility
of being on the wrong road seems to
have entered their minds, and as they
approached a house, declared by one
of the twain to "look familiar" in

Flags in High Places.
From tbe New York Evening Pc.

A paragraph is gong the rounds that

spire of the cathedral at Metz. This
flag is not Haunted in defiance, but
there Is no one willing to risk his life
to take it down. According to one cor
respondent, no Prussian dare, and no
Frenchman viii climb the slender spire
Another correspondent tells the i'm
probable story that the only man who
could remove it is the poor but patriotic
Frencnman who placed it there
for five francs, and has refused
the Prussian governors offer Of
five thousand francs to take
it down. SO the flag still futters
in the air. This recalls an incident or
two in this city. After the fall of Sum
ter, in the spring of 1861, an adventur-
Gus sailor climbed from the topmOst
opening in the spire of Trinity to the
cross, to which he fastened flagstaff,
When the large American flag was dis
played the bold man climbed to the
arm of the gilded cross that surmounts
the spjre, stood on the arms of 1t, and
then stretched out his own arms, maxi
ing a cross upon the cross III an

man, and loudly cheered him when he

risk and services. The same sailor, or
another, put a flag on the spire of st.
Paurs, and a small flag was also dis
PLAYED from the cross of the spire of
Grace Church. The wind whipped this
last flag to rags, and remnant iutter-
ed from the staff for many months.
