Died suddenly Of HEART disease.

How common is the announcement.
Thousands are suddenly swept into
eternity by this fatal maIady. This
disease generally has its origin in i'm
pure blood filed with irritating. poison
GUS materials, which, circulating
through the heart, irritates its delicate
tissues Though the irritation may at
FIRST be only slight, producing a little
palpitation or irregular action, yet by
and by the disease becomes firmly seat
ed, and Inflammation, or hypertrophy,
or thickness of the lining membrane or
of the valves, is produced. How wise
to give early attention to a case of this
kind. Unnatural throbbing or pain in
the region of the heart should admouish
one that all is not right, and if you
would preeerve il from further disease,
you must help it TO beat rightly by the
use of such a remedy as shall remove
the cause of the trouble. Use DIR.
Pirce's Golden Medical Discovery be-
fore the disease has become too seated,
and it will by its great blood purifying
and wonderful regulating properties,
effect perfect cure. It contains medi-
cinal properties which act specifically
upon the tissues of the heart, bringing
about healthy action. Sold by all first

StereOtypiBg.

It is claimed that the system of
stereotying pursued at the London
Times establishment is the most
5, ienti6cally perfect of any in the
world. 1t is certainly ingenious, as
the following brief summary of the
principal processes will show:
The pages are set up with types
III the ordinary manner, and from
these a paper matrix is obtained by
pressure. The paper intended to
receive the indentation or intagliO OF
these forms is thus prepared: Be-
ginning with a sheet of very thin
and fine but strong paper tissue, a
sheet of brown paper and two or
mrre sheets of blOtting paper are
successively pasted. one over the
other, upon one side of the tissue.
The opposite or face side of the It's
sue is busted with powdered French
chalk. The form of type is first
warmed in a steam oven, and then,
when taken out and laid fiat, the
plas ic web, prepared for impression,
and still damp with paste, is placed
upon IL, ana the WnOle pnBSeu De-
meath q weighted roller.
Tho impression is as perfect as If
made in the finest wax. The paper
comes from the types without tho
least wrinkle, and without cutting or
tearing at the edges of any one of the
thousands of impressions with which
it Is covered. The sheet, too, is
nearly dried, and is ready for the
moulding frame. AS it is not so
stiff but that it may be readily bent,
the paper is now made to assume
the curve corresponding to the cyl
inders of the presses.
The paper-mould is held between
an iron back and block of 6re-clay,
curved upon its face, and in this pO-
sition the type may be poured, and a
stereotype plate produced in few
seconds, and perfect, with the exctp-
ton of trimming the edges and plan
ing the back-operations which are
accomplished in few minutes more
The mould is not burnt by the con
tact of the melted type metal, which
fuses at comparatively low temper
ature. A slight discoioration and
the least smell of burning are the ex-
tent of injury to the mould.

Age OfAniInaIs.

A bear rarely exceeds twenty years;
a dog lives twenty years; a wolf
twenty; fox sixteen. Lions are
loDg-liyed; the celebrated Pompey
lived to the age of seventy. The av-
erage Of cats is fifteen; squirrel or
hare, seven or eight; rabbits seven;
elephants have been known to live
to the age of four hundred years.
When Alexander the Great had
conquered Porus, King of India, he
took a large elephant which had
fought valiantly for the King, and
naming him Ajax, dedicated him to
the sun, with this inscription: CAL
exander, the son of Jupiter, has ded-
icated Ajax to Lhe sun. He was
found with this inscription three
hundred and fifty years afterwards.
Pigs have been known to live to the
age of thirty years; the rhinoceros
twenty. A horse has been known to
live to the age of sixty-fiye, but the
average is twenty-five to thirty.
Camels sometimes live to the age of
one hundred years. Stays are long
lived. Oheep seldom exceed the age
of ten, and COWS live about fl
teen years.
Currier thinks it probable that
whales som etimos live thousand
years. An eminent naturalist has
the skeleton of a swan that attained
the age of two hundred. Pelican arc
lOng-ived. A tortoise has been
known to live to the great age Ofone
hundred and seven.

Apple Tree BOrers.

A correspondent Of the Rural Ne,o
Yorker says that he has prevented
the attack of apple-tree borers by
putting a bushel of tan. bark around
the stem of each tree. Tho tan-bark
answers the double purpose of keep
ing out the borers and u mulch. No
weeds grow through it, and the wri-
ter states that nc has never known
a tree to be attacked, around which
a heap of tan-bark was constantly
kept. Quince-trees, treated in the
Same way, thrive admirably, and
arc free from borers. Before put
ting the tan around, throw a quart
ofunloached ashes and salt, half and
half, around the tree.

Tla Tiaes.

The tides purify and wash the
shores, cleaning and sweeping our
ports; the currents, which result
therefrOm, disencumber our road
steads of the masses of mud which
load them, clear the mouth of rivers,
and produce a pure aud wholesome
freshness. At a fixed hour the for
midablc masses of water, raised by
an invisible power, rise and approach
the shore. They rise, they preciPi-
tate themselves with restless power,
but only TO stop gently at precise
moment, without ever passing the
bOundry which Nature has traced.
1t is surely an honor to the human
race TO have succeeded in calcutta
ting the very hour, nay, the exact
minute in which the oscillations of
the sea begin and end in every part
of our Globe. Nevertheless, az yet,
unknown combinations will, at
times, produce terrible disasters that
| cannot be avoided by any foresight
or precaution. Thus, occasionally a
powerful Wind happens TO blow in
the same direction with the tide,
and gives it incredible force and
fury. No lofty embankment rear
ed by the hand of man, no rocky
rampant raised by Nature herself,
can then withstand its power; and
towns are swept in an instant, and
thousands of persons lose their lives.
IN some parts of the Globe the tide
produces remarkable effects from
the peculiar formation of the coast
which it strikes. The most striking
is that of The Island of Nautilus
" here ) long rocky promontory runs
far out into the sea, and has been
worn by the waves into numerous
caves and grottoes of marvellous
beauty and grotesqucness. The wa.
ters have forced for themselves an
outlet through the roof of one o.
these caves, and when the tidaI
wave reaches the coast il fills the
cave, and then, with indescribabI,
grandeur, flies through the opening
to the height of sixty feet, accOmpa-
nicd by aahundering roar which il
beard for mics out at sea.-Londol
Examiner.

The Art Of Spending.

Every industrious, wide-awake
person can find ways and means of
earning money, but after it is fairly
earned the great trouble with every
body is that it slips away SO easily
Every time you turn you viii find
ways and means Of spending money.
Row the great art in spending well,
is to make every dollar show where
1t is invested. There are SO many
ways of digposing Of it which never
seem TO give any return.
Your housekeepers need TO learn
the art of spending Will. A dollar
invested IN a nice coversd dish for
the table, n useful mat for the hall,
u beautiful tree for the front door
yard, viii give q hundred fold the
pleasure that Il would IN strip Of
trimming about the hem of q dress
or q fat chicken for the table, which
leaves you no better satisfied than il
you had dined of an inexpensivS
chop. Think well ever every dime
you pay out, and resolve to put it tC
the best possible account. The ar
OF spending is even q more import
ant one than the art of earning it

Lime for Soils orFruit Orchards.

On most soils, or in most local.
ties a proper dressing of lime is use
ful to both peach and pear trees
There arc some soils where it will
not prove of much benefit, but we
are unable to give a certain infalli-
BILE indication by which the proprie-
ty of its application may be known
before making its trial 1t would
not be likely TO be useful where the
ground had been previously repeat
eddy or heavily lined, or where the
soil was poor from the want of an
application of yard manure CT by
plOwisg under green crops. We
have known it to double the growth
OF trees on soils thae appeared TO be
quite similar to others where no ben
eft was produced. Over doses, or
an uneven application, might be
hurtful or of no use. Common lime
may be applied safely Mt tho rate Of
hundaed bushels or two per acre,
but maRnesia lime may be used more
cautiously. There is no material
difference between common lime and
burnt oyster shell.

Of all the hotels in the world the
oldest is a lonely one in California,
on the road between San Jose and
Santa Cruz. Imagine immense trees
standing few feet apart and hollow
inside; these are the hotel-neat,
breezy, and romantic. The largest
tree is sixty-fve feet around, and
contains sitting-FoOm and that bu-
reau of Bacchus, wherefrem is dis
pensed the thing that biteth and
stingeth. All abOnt this tree is n
garden Of flowers and cVorgreens.
The drawing-room is n bower made
of redwood, cvergroons and madrona
branches. For bed chambers there
are nine great hollow trees, white
washed or papered, and having
doors cut to fit the shape of the
holes. Literature finds place in a
leaning stump, dubbed the library.
If it were not for that samo haunt
of Bacchua, it is certain that the
guests of this forest establishment
would feel like nothing SO much as
