The Philippine Islands.

The Philippine Islands, which have
just been visited by disastrous earth
quake, are over 1, 200 in number, and
are situated in north latitude $500
100 AZ and east longitude 117o ~
1924 They lie to the north of Bor-
neo and Celebes, and compose a wide
" extending archipelago in the great
NIalaysian system. The entire group
is supposed to be parts of submerged
continent, and is of volcanic origin.
Scattered throughout the islands are
many volcanoes, some of which are al
ways active. These often are the occa-
sion of great devastation, the destruc-
tive eruptions being accompanied by
earthquakes, mud torrents, and other
terrible phenomena The City of Man.
lila, situated on Luzon, the largest of
the islands, was visited by a great
earthquake 1862, which left scarcely a
building uninlured; and in 1868 anoth-
er shake very nearly destroyed the same
city. In1S74, another earthquake pros
trated every house in the province of
Zamboango, iii the island Mindanao ole
of the southernmost of the group, and
caused several small islands to disap-
pear. Tornadoes, hurricanes, and
storms of wind and rain frequently de-
vastate the coasts
The islands belong to Spain, though
about one fourth of the population re-
tain their independence and the COVER
ment of native princes. The popula-
ton of the groop is estimated at 5000,
900, bnt OF many of the lesserislands al
most nothing is known. The Phillip.
pines, though afflicted with these great
commissions OF nature, have delightful
climate, a soil of wonderful fertility
and are rich in such products as coffee
gold, sugar hemp, tobacco, dyewoods
and hides.

The Cholera in Poland.

The Asiatic cholera has made its APP
pearance in Poland. This news has
been officially announced by the Rus
sian authorities. Distantly removed as
Poland is from this country, there is
yet something in the announcement of
the appearance of this terrible scourge
in far-oif Poland which calls up unpleas-
ant memories If we mistake not, it
was III 1917 the plague broke out fierce
ly III the Indies, and, after decimat-
ing towns and carrying otflarge mum
bers of the people of the east, it slowly
continued its march toward the Eu-
ropean frontier, and in 1929, or there
abOuts, it broke out in Southern Rus
STA, pretty much in the same manner in
which 1T now appears in Poland. In
1S30it ragged fiercely III the city of Mos
COW, and in the following year nearly
the whole of Central Europe was under
It's evil influence. A year later, III
1882, 1T made It's appearance on this
side OF the Atlantic. Quebec was the
first city III which it appeared, then
Montreal, and afterwards New York,
after which the disease spread in vari-
Gus directions. We make reference to
UheSe litctS oulg Iiibt UneY may serve TO
pc mt out to the health authorities the
necessity of watchfuIness at all times
and during all seasons. The same vigi-
lance which was exercised with epidem-
les raging almost ut our very doors
will protect us, SO far as human pre-
cautions can DO 50, against those ter
r1ble visitations from which the popula-
tons of the South American cities too
frequently suffer Clean streets and
strict quarantine regulations are admir-
able preventives against diseases such
as now atflict Poland, and which have
SO recently robbed Buenos Ayres of
thousands of it's inhabitants. N. y

prefer the Yellow Stone, but the Pur-
pie Top and similar white sorts are
good, and will not be refused by cattle
next winter. Sometimes it is well to
add a dressing of some kind of com
mercial manure, such as bone, poud
rette or superphos phate, but every
man should judge for himelf whether
this is necessary or otherwise.
There are hand-cnltivators with which
turnips sown in drills can be kept clear
of weeds for less than half the expense,
that they can be with the hoe Labor
saving machines are pretty generally
distributed over the country, and most
farmers know how TO appreciate them,
but some of the best hand cuItivators,
for cult2vating garden vegetables are
not so generally known rs their merits
deserve. Of course we are ready to adj
NIT that excellent crops of both early
and late sorts are produced by the
broadcast system, especially on new
lands but still we think the drill is the
more certain of the two.

Fearful Fall of Trapeze Performer

The Rochester Express has the fol
lowing account of fearful occurrence
in Dan Rice's Pavilion Circus, during
a performance III that city ON Tuesday
afternoon:
A violent gale was blowing at the
time, and the immense canvas which
covers the pavilion swayed to and fro.
Every precaution was taken to keep the
trapeze motionless when August Seig-
rist made his wonderful leap from one
end of the tent to the other. He watch
ed his opportunity and sprang from the
PEDESTAL. But at that moment a gust
of wind swayed the tent, and this calls-
ed him to miss his brother, who was
suspended head downwards from the
trapeze, and he fell with dull thud to
the ground beneath, striking upon his
shoulder. The distance was about for
ty feet, and in his descent he cleared the
netting which was placed benerth in
case of accident. His shoulder was
bruised and his left arm famed. OF
course he could not finish the act
Neither could he perform it the last
night.

The Guion Mail Line, in order to
meet the wants of summer travel, have
reduced the fare from New York to
Liverpool to $40 for outside rooms,
and $50 for inside rooms. The testl-
mony of the many passengers that have
used this fayorite line this summer IS
in the highest degree complimentary.
A round trip from New York to Liver
pool and return, can be made for $40
or $3.50, according to thelocation ofthe
rooms. The steamers of this line sail
from New York every Wednesday. Pas
sengers can rely upon safety, speed and
comfort, the great requisites for a
pleasant sea voyage. Cabin plans of
the steamers of this line can be seen,
and berths and state-rooms secured,
either by mail or in person, at the office

These two complaints are more general at this
season of the year than at almost any other. They
are closely akin for biIiousness always involves

accompaniment of disordered torpid liver.
Happy the man or woman who boast of stom-
that has felt the horrors of dyspepsia and
to whom that great secretve agent the liver, has
never given pain or trouble Not one in thousand
can lay claim to entire immunity from irreguarity
of these organs. How then, shall they he regulated
Not by powerful catharcs alternated with ordinary
stimulants, but by medicinal invigorant like Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which combine in due pro-
portion the tonic and the Alternative principle Wher
ever there is church, schoohouse, and general
store, this famous medicine may be procured. No
village merchant finds it prudent to be without it,
for is enqured for every day by every class The
workingman buys it because it increases his capacity
for toll, and is followed by reaction. The effect
of the salubrious roots, herbs, ETC., of which it ia
composed, diffused through his system by the pure
stimulant which forms the basis of the Bitters, is
most healthful and invigorat;Gs. The scholar. the
merchant, and, in fact all men whose minds or
bodies, or both, in constant exercise will derive
benefit from its use To persons OF sedentary habits
it supplies i'll measure that activity in the cir
culation which is obtained by physical exertion and
is the best known remedy for constipation.

Rosa BOnhenr and her Family

A foreign correspondent of the Bos-
ton traveller writes:
I have just received q letter from
America asking why Auguste Bonheur
has been sent to Belle Isle. His sister
Mrs. Peyrol, has called and given me
the origin of the false report which I
hasten to contradict It's appearance
in the journals in England and America
has caused the family much annoyance.
Rosa has been all Winter at her home
near Fontainebleau. She makes stud
les constantly but finishes few pictures.
The competency she has acquired frees
her from the necessity Of painting to
please any one but herself. It is diff
ficult to coax her to finish ANYTHING,
consequently the prices are higher
than ever.
Auguste, the eldest brother lives
near Versailles He has never had
anything to do with the Commune.
His age and his residence away from
Paris exempted him from their exact
ions his political opinions and his
gentle disposition are utterly opposed
to the violence of the party. He has
much of his sisters talent-many artists
prefer his works to hers; if she has
more force, he has more poetry o.
character. His pictures bring higl
prices, but his present delicate health
confines him to small canvasses. He
has taken all the medals at the Salon
and is decorated
Juliette Peyrol-Boheur, she signs
! her pictures) is the third of this talent
ed family. She began early to paint
and has succeeded well, She is mar
ried to Mr. Peyrol, and has fine fami
~ of boys. Auguste says it has beer
hard for her to ''hunt two hares a
once Were she less devoted moth
er, she might have been a more famous
painter however, she does not seen
very wretched about it. Her picture:
are always well hung at the Salon anC
sell readily. All the family choose AMI
mails for their models.
Next n age comes Isadore, the scuIp
tor He has already won two medal
at the Salon, and finished last yea
colossal commands for Egypt If ripe
years fulfil the promise of the youn,
man, his path too Will lead to wide
spread fame. I am sorry on the sam
page to tell of poor German, a half
brother, pupil of Gerome at the Beau
Arts. Devotion to study has not en-
tirely absorbed his youth his prank
| and his wanderings are better know
than his pictures. He was a faithful
soldier last Fall, was taken prisone
at Sedan, escaped and at last arrives
home in a sorry plight. This taste o
military life was not enough. In Pari
he heard the popular story-tyranny a
Versailles was trying to crush ibert
IN Paris. He joined the Commun
among its early friends, and persiste,
in going back to Paris to share its fate
g [ am neither liar nor a deserter,
he said. On his way he was arrests
with a passport of the Commune upo
him, and carried a prisoner to Versailles
His family interceded for him ant
now he has been released. If his pas
has caused regret, his future is full 0
hone.
