The Medicines of tho Millions

For thirty-five years Hoofands g
German Bitters have held the posi-.
tion of Standard Household Rem.
edy for Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint,
and Nervous Debility. Every year
has added to the celebrity of this
admirable restorative, which has
inspired a confidence in the public
mind which nothing can shake or
impair. 1t is expressly adapted to
the constitutions and systems of in.
valids who require no alcoholic
stimulant while for those who do,
Hooaand's German Tonic, of which
pure Santa Cruz Rum forms the
diffusive principle, is incomparably
the finest invigorant at present
known. Sold by all Druggists.

Clean Your Teeth.

Few people are aware why
teeth decay. The rotting is
caused by innumerable worms
that collect on the enamel and
bulrow into 1t. Itis the masses
of these filthy things that
chiefly make up the tartar,
that is so foul and so disfgur-
ing to the appearance Of the
teeth. They number millions
in a nasty mouth, and so mi,
mute that they cannot be seen
by the naked eye, requiring a
good microscope to be seen In
all their hideousness. They
are white and transparent,
with nearly the same conforma.
tion at both ends. They seem
to have a joint in the middle
and are in perpetual motion.
They discharge an acid of some
sort, which combines with the
lime of the enamel, and if they
are not cleaned away regular
ly, they thus penetrate through
this very hard coating and get
into the body of the teeth; The
acids of the food then find
entrance into the substance of
which the teeth are composed,
and the sure consequence is
the misery of the toothache
and the visit of the dentist,
there to be subjected to the in
ternal process of filing plug
ging and extracting-all Of
which might have been saved
by a little attention to clean
illness.
We wish our young friends
could view under a microscope
a drop Of saliva from a tooth
brush-they would see with
amazement that it contains sev.
eral thousand of these wrig-
Cling little mouth.worms. We
are sure that they would need
no stronger argument to make
them use the brush thoroughly
and keep the teeth clear of the
most disgusting animalculae
that can be imagined to exist
anywhere--much less in the
mouth of a decent person.

The old adage "put a beggar
on horseback and he will ride
to the DEVIL" Is verified by
the Grant Administrations
Under former administrations
one or two plain servants in
citizens dress performed the
duties which now require the
of a score of t1unkeys
dressed in the United States

uses have the regulation button
and strap of the service been
brought, that on meeting a

A spat B6tWsen Judges:

= The Washington Sunday
Herald tells of a singular breeze
in the Supreme Court Of the
District of Columbia, in that
city, on Saturday. The Chief
Justice Cartier had delivered
an opinion id the FarTagut prize
money case, and when be, had
done; Associate Judge Wylie
expressed his views in dissent
of the opinion of the Court.
The Herald says
The Chief Justice Whitened
with wrath, his lion.like locks
shook with ire, and III a voice
whose notes were pregnant with
uncomfortable rage, he said
II am surprised at the DISSENT
ing opinion. The Judge In the
consultation room assehted to
my views; he has rrept oat Of

went" &c. The audience whose
prophetic souls had drawn them
to the spot Of witness without
money! without price, this Sat-
urday matinee, indulged in
vociferous cachihations. Judge
Wylie rose with the dignity Of
an insulted man and Judge, and
said /! II retire from the bench,
where to remain is to be ihsul.

about to proceed with his live

room, when the qttiet ihterfer=

The Cure of Catarrh.

two parts white sugar reduced
to -four. This is an effectual
remedy in all the stoppages Of
the head, catarrh, etc. It must
be snuffed up the nose a dozen
times or more a day, according
to the severity of the affection
Persons frequently die from
catarrh in the head, the disease
becoming so bad that the mu.
Gus, instead of discharging
through the nose, as it should
do, falls down the throat and
lodges on the lungs, producing
many a sore throat, the cause
of which is not suspected, and
terminating fatally, in many
instances, in that most dreaded
of all diseases, consumption.

In building your chimney
put a quantity Of salt into the
mortar with which the inter.
courceS of brick are to be laid,
The effect will be that there
will never be any accumulation
of SCOT in that chimney. The
philosophy is thus stated the
salt in the portion of mortar
which is exposed absorbs mois.

coming damp, falls down in the
fireplace. This is an English
discovery. It is used with

Another calamity to th

Another calamity to the
French, in the shape of the
cattle plague, has broken out
among the immense droves Of
cattle gathered at Brest for the
relief Of the halfstarving pop.
ulation Of Paris, and is doing
such havoc among those herds
that it is impossible to bury
them as rapidly as circumstan-
ces require. A Gordon has
been drawn around the cattle
affected with the disease, and
as they die off they are carted
to the water side and tumbled
into condemned war ships,
which iwhen filed, are towed
out to sea and sunk. 1t is to
be feared, however, that when
these carcasses, in the process
of decomposition, rise to the
surface, they will be washed
ashore and create another pes
thence. Truly, the cup Of
misery to poor France has
been filled to the brim and she
is drinking to the dregs; but
from the very extremity of her
sufferings there is at least this
hope--that she will give up
up the fight, and that her victo
rious enemy will not be with
out generosity in his exactions.
