The Mystery Cleared UP at Last-It Means
HOw's This for High.
The new drug store which DIR. Helmbold has
established in Gilsey's Hotel, corner of Broad
way and Twenty-ninth street, was formally
opened to the gaze of an admlring public on
Saturday evening last, and since that time thou
sands of persons have visited 1t and inspected
its marvellous beauties. One can readily ina
gine, as he surveys the glittering and gorgeous
scene that he is in the grand chamber of Alad-
din's palace. The bright sheen of the glass jars
on either side reflects back the briuiancy of the
interior. But what do those jars contain? u? To
paraphrase a well-known couplet,
"Beauty, beauty, everywhere,
But there's nothing coed to drink"
CUnless the Doctor keeps it somewhere in the
The height of the ceiling, which is frescoed
in the Pompeiian style, is twenty feet. Hang
ing from the ceiling are three immense chande-
liers, ten feet long, manufactured expressly Tor
DIR. Helmbold, with his monogram, "H. L. H.,
engraved on the pendant. OF course, it's got to
be understood that these initials mean, "How's
This for Hgh?' as well as standing for Henry
Il. Helmbold. Cut in these beautiful crystals
are exquisite little hunting scenes typical OF the
rrave little doctors love of manly sports. The
front of the store looking on Twenty-nintt
street is almost wholly of glass. The counters
which extend the whole length of the store on
both sides, are of black walnut, carved in origi
nal designs after Dr. Helmbold's own drawings
The top of the counters are covered with wide
slabs of polished Italian marble. Surrounding
the room are numbers of bronze figures repre-
senting the NEUROLOGICAL era of the Greeks
Against the wall on all sides are French mirror
reaching from floor to ceiling with gilt frames
carved liz most exquisite style. On the top o
their pediments are gilt mortars, suggestive o
the apothecarys art
To appreciate the beauty of this magnifcen
establishment, one must go and see for himself

Burial of "OId Fanny"

After her decease, Mr.. De Long with true piet,
and tenderness of feeling, caused her to receive
respectful burial on a grassy mound near hi
stables, overlooking the stream that winds grace
fully along at the base of his farm.
Near the close Of day, on the banks Of the "Fair,
cold Fanny" was buried with dutiful care,
No vespers were sung, no prayers were said,
As they laid her TO rest, In her narrow bod
Interment was had, without Cossack or priest.
For reasons like these to mention the least
Her life was so pure, and everything square,
No service seemed fitting Of anthem or prayer.
requium was sung by the winds DER her grave,
And the Fair struck a note in each rolling wave
The birds sang dirge DER the grave of deceased,
Thus doing the duties Of layman and priest.
Tho friends at her grave-for many were there,
To lay her to rest,-all truly declare
For action and zeal, and sagacity too,
She excelled every marc, that ever they knew.
They thought as they carved her low, narrow bed,
And fashioned pillow of straw for her head
Twas fitting, likewise, to carve her stone,
All lettered in gold, and deeds Of renown.
No useless coffin enclosed her form,
Yet sleeps quite protected from every storm;
Not in sheet, nor shroud, nor blanket they laid
her,
But lined with true fame, is the grave that they
made her.
Ethan Allen-her son-being mourner in chief
Expressed his regret in neighings of grief,
As sadly and slowly they lowered her down,
To her grave all hallowed with deeds of renown.
Short and few were the words they thoughtfully
said,
As they curiously gaEed on the face Of the dead;
90 they turned from the scene, with sigh and a
prayer
May "0ld Fanny" long sleep on the banks of the
'Fair. oRApr

HEARTY SUPPERs. 1t requires about
FIVE hours for the stomach to work on an
ordinary meal and pass it out of itself,
when it falls into a stage of repose. Hence
if a man eats three times a day, his
stomach must work fifteen hours out of the
twenty.four. But the multitude of me-
chanics who are wildly clamorous 70 son
ly eight hours a day." are the very ones
who, while they are angered at being re-
quired by others to work more than eight
hours day, do not hesitate to impose on
their stomachs fifteen hours work, nearly
double. After nights sleep, we wake
up with a certain amount of bodily vigor,
which is faithfully proportioned out to
every set Of muscles, each its rightful
share the stomach among others, When
the external body gets weary after long
days work, the stomach bears its share
of the fatigue but if when the body is
weary with the days toll, we put it TO
bed, giving the stomach meanwhile five
hours task, which must be performed, We
impose upon the very best friend we have
the one that gives us the largest amount
of earthly enjoyments; and if this over
taxing is continued, it must as certainly
wear out permaturely as the body itself
will, if it is overworked every day. And
if the persons eat between meals, then the
stomach has no rest from breakfast in the
morning, until one, two, three, or four
O'Clock next day; hence it is that SO many
persons have dyspepsia, the stomach is
worked SO much and so constantly that it
becomes too weak to work at all. 1t is to
be hoped that every intelligent parent
will press these things on the attention Of
their children as matter of conscience.
because dyspepsia, like consumption, has
its foundations laid in large majority
of cases during the "teens" of life
