Facts About Dyspepsia.

Dyspepsia is a weak stomach, made
weak by overwork, and, like man
made weak by overwork, it needs rest,
needs repose but, as we cannot live
without eating, the necessity must be
met by giving the stomach as little work
to do as possible, and that work should
he easy, Just as we ourselves, III the
weakness of recovery from disease, in
vite our strength back by doing but lit
tie work, and that which can be easily
done.
The cure of most ca-es of dyspepsia
becomes extremely simple, and very
certain, if these few first principles are
jadiciously applied in any given case
to-wit: give the stomach but little to
do; let that little be of kind which is
easily done, and let both be so arranged
that the stomach may do its work easily
and soon, and have abundant time for
rest. The work of the stomach is called
"indlgestion." and means the process Of
preparing the food for yielding its nu-
TRENT portions TO the system, to give it
warmth, growth and strength
AS general thing, dyspeptics should
not drink anything at meals, becau- e
there is liquid in the stomach which
dissolves the tood--in sense, melts it,.
If cold water is drank, it cools this
stomach liquid, and it losses its power
of melting the food, so to speak as the
cooler the water is, the less is it able to
melt the ice in it. OF course, every
Psychologist knows that this comparison
is not critically true; butt conveys the
essential practical idea to the minds of
the masses.

ty to twenty-one million horins for the
mason work alone. Then there is the
strategic railway Of which we have
heard from Ncu Brisach to Donau Es-
chi.!gell, and besides much else that
might be named, there are, lastly, the
works deemed essential to protect the
German coasts. During the last twenty
months masons and engineers have
been hard at work at the mouths of the
Elbe and the Weser, and in the Bay OF
Jahde. At Il certain distance from the
sea a whole army of work men are busiiy
constructing strategic railways parallel
with the coast, and connecting again
with the great lines of the railway sys-
TEN of the interior. In the opinion of
competent persons landing between
the mouths of the Elbe and Ems, which
might have been possible In 1870, would
no longer be so now. With the net
work o! telegraphs and railroads along
the whole extent Of the coast which is
not directly defended by fortresses,
sl.ght attachments of observation would
suffice to make a surprise impossible.
Yet all this is not found enough by the
Prussian Government. 1t has decided
to erect new tortresses i'll the islands
Vanger-Oog and Neuwerk, planted in
the sea like advanced sentinels, east
and west Of the wide entrance formed
by the two embouchures of the Jahde
and the Weser. Protected by the fire
OF these Notifications, the German fleet
would be able to risk the offensive even
against superior naval forces. Works
OF equal Importance are projected for
the defense of the Baltic coasts, and it
is estimated will not cost less than sixty
millions OF thalers.

A Watermelon Story.

from watermelons, according to the fol.

Barbara, Cal. A farmer was working
on side hill, when watermelon
weighing sixty eight pounds, broke
loose from the vine and started for him.
The farmer saw his danger and tried to
run from it, but the vine treacherously
caught his feet, and the rutfianly vege-
table came laundering Iown upon him
with terrible speed, striking him to the
earth and rolling over his PROSTATE

Pigeons Collecting and Storing Food

A correspondent of the Field gives
these curious facts relating to pigeons
boarding food:
On one of number of rocky islands
lying of the port OF Ningoria, on the
western coast of IIindostan, large
number OF pigeons have taken up their
abode. During the fine weather they
visit the mainland to look for food. but
during great part of the monsoon
months, from the end of June till the
beginning of October, the wind from
seaward is so strong that the pigeons
would nave difficulty in winging their
way to their rocky home. Instinct Tor
is it soma higher intelligence?) has
taught them TO hoard up during the
fine season sufficient store of grain
brought from the mainland to supply
their wants when unable to make their
usual foraging excursions in consequence
Of the high winds of the monsoon. So
large is the store thus laid in by the
provident birds that the fishermen near
about find it sufficiently profitable %
visit their island home just before the
commencement of the monsoon, when
their granaries are at the fullest, and to
steal the grain they find laid up; and |
am told that these robbers of the poor
pigeons bring away frequently as much
as will freight one of their fishing
canoes.

A Wonderful Tree.

A newspaper issued at New Batavia,
Java, publishes an account OF tree
that yields vegetable tallow. 1t grows
on the west coast of Borneo, in the In
dian Ocean, and is called Tingkawang,
or butter tree. The natives use the tai
low for preparing their food and for
lighting purposes. Its tast , resembles
cold sleeps fat, but the Malays use it
in pastry. The tree is large and beauti-
full, and natives carefully cultivate it..
The general price of the product is three
dollars per picul, or fifteen dollars for
one hundred and thirty-three pounds.
The tallow is obtained from a nut,
which is stepped in water for several
weeks and then pressed. The trade in
the article promises to become one OF
great Importance.

A PHYSICIAN WHO HEALED HIMsELF.-
If a railroad director were lashed to
every locomotive, there would be fewer
railroad accidents, and ii doctors had to
take their own physic before admins
tering it to their patients, fewer people
would be poisoned. DR.. Joseph Walker,
of California, took this course when he
first compounded the famous Vinegar
Bitters, which now rank AS an inestima-
BILE household remedy in all parts of the
United States. He healed himself with
this specific before he offered it TO the
world. He introduced it with simple
statement of the manner in which he
had discovered its vegct ,ble ingredients
and been cured. while wandering, sick
and poor, among the California tribes. He
stated what the preparation had done for
himself and few sufferers from dyspepsia,
biiousness. rheumatism, lung diseases, an
many other prevalent disorders, believed
him. tried the new restorative and were more
than satisfied with the results. In this way
the sale of the Vinegar Bitters began, and we
mention the fact as an evidence that i'll this
age of intellI ence and inquiry, nothing that
is really valuable to mankind can prove a
pecunarv failure-even though it may lack
the help of capital, and have to fight its way
against powerful opposing interests. Within
two or three months after its introduction,
the article became self supporting. and it now
yields magnificent annual revcnue.-lCom.
