0, THAT WERE BEAUTIFUL! is the
unspoken wish Of thousands of women
to whom nature has denied the charm of
q pure, fresh, transparent complexion.
70 crafty this wish, HAaAN's MAGNOLIA
BALM was introduced. The cosmetics
OF the day had been pronounced poison
GUS by the most distinguished chemists,
and 1T was also found that their ultimate
effect was to wither the skin, as we'll as
to paralyze the external nerves. The
ladies hailed with delight the advent of
a healthful herbal and floral preparation
capable of imparting to their faces, necks
and urms porcelain smoothness and q
tiDge like that of the finest oriental
pearl. They soon discovered that it was
new thing under the sum-" incompa-
rable and unapproaohabe. Uuques-
tlonably the MAGNOLIA BALM has been
tho great toilet SUCCESS of the present
century.
$1,000 REWARD is offered by tho pro.

FprronIAL NorrcEs are 90 common that
II Il almost impossible for an editor 70 eA,
nress his honest opinion Of the merits oil
an article without being suspected OF
interested motives. This fact however,
shall not deter US from saying what we
think of new addition to the Aateria
Medica TO which our attention has been
recently directed. We refer to DR.. J.
WArxFR's CALIFORNIA VEEGAR BITrRRs,
a remedy which is making its way into
more families Just now than all tue other
advertised medicines put together. Its
popularity, as far as We can Judge, Is not
based on empty pretention. There seems
10 be no question about the potency OF
its tonic and alternative properties, while
it contains the great negative recommen-
dation of containing neither alcohol nsr
mineral poison. Thrt it Is specific for
Indigestion, Biliousness, Consumption,
and many other complaints OF nervous
origin. we have reason TO know; and we
are assured on good authority that as a
general invigorant, regulating and purl-
fying medicine, it has no equal. It is
stated that its ingredients obtained from
the wilds of California;, are new to the
medical world; and its extraordinary
effects certainly warrant the conclusion
that il is a compound of agents hitherto
unknown. If popularity is any criterion,
there can be no doubt of the efficiency OF
the VINEGAR BITTERs, for the sale OF the
article is immense and continually increaS-
| ing.-Com.

The Earth Eaters.

Only the very lowest of races eat
earth. Humboldt tells of the unfortunate
0tomaks and Jarures, on the banks OF
the Orinooo, among whom some poor
nonadic tribes live upon ants, gum, and
earth. # is mild, fatty clay, probably
full of infusoria, and answering the
double purpose of serving as a kind OF
ballast that weighs on the great nerve OF
the stomach, and of supplying q small
amount of actual food out of the large
mass of organic matter with which the
rind of the earth is every where filed.
Nor is this remarkable custom confined
to cannibal nations. The Tunguses, near
Ochotsk, and the natives OF Kamtschatka,
also, eat a variety of fine white clay,
resembling butter while, in the Eastern
Ocean, the same earth is put upon leaves,
and thus swallowed. In Samarang, in
Java, we'll known earth, called tana, is
sold in the market, in skillfdlly-curled
rlols, like those of cinnamon. All
through the Tropics, in fact, and in hot
countries, there seems to prevail fond
ness for certain varieties Of earth,
although the abundance Of natures pro
duction would surely not seem to require
such strange assistance. In Europe, the
use of clay or earth has frequently been
resorted to in times of famine. Germany
saw it employed during the thirty years
war and as late as 1898, necessity drove
suffering men to mix it with rye or oats
in their bread. The mountain flour Of
Finland and Sweden is fine flint earth
often mixed with lime, and enters - as 6
matter of taste rather than necessity
into their bread, so that hundreds O
wagon loads may be seen to convey the
strange food from country to country
The strangost, however, of all minera
foods is probably arsenic, the well.knowr
poison. In upper Austria the miners ant
peasants, old and young, stew arseni,
like salt on their bread, and eat it, withou
injury, to preserve youthful and bloom
ing appearance

The rapidly With which the horss
disease Gissstninaies Itself borders on the
amazing. Il = only tee weeks sinoe u
crossed over into the United States from
Can.da ana ret il RACES in many cities 81
the United States and 10 rapidly spread
iux. An active horse could not travel As
i.ss a. this strange mslady. The seeds Of
the disease seem In the air, and Whenever
the infection lights the disease widens is
circles A. fast and Ear a. the ripples on 3
disturbed lake. With such q p0rtsnious
facility Of spreading Il seems as II any
ordinary measure Of inspection or quaran-
tine, would BE- useless, and with such an
unexampled virnlsnce as Il has exhibited
In the day or two Il has been in the city
Il ia idle to seek TO separate the diseased
horses from the sound. 4 moments
contact seems sufficient TO communicate
the eontagion, aud the apparently sound
animal reveals the malady before IL can
be taken away from the infected stable.
A Toronto journal says the absence OF
horses in the streets Of that city when
the fever was at its height gave an air OF
dulness to the whole town. II seemed
as IL a part Of the city life were gone.
II is 10 be hoped that We may not be
made to have the same feelings, butthe
chances are that We will. The possibil-
ily. or perhaps we should say the prob
ability, is not one pleasant to contem-
plate; and vet there is at least one con-
solatory rehection-that bad as the dis
ease is il is not, like one or two other
complaints 10 which the horse is subject,
dangerous to human life. One extreme
ly aggravated form Of catarrhal sffectio
has been known to communicate itself
from brutes to human beings with fatal
results. Happily there is net the least
danger of any such horrible result in
this case. The distinction between the
brute and the human being has been
mercifully made so broad that in none
but the most highly exceptional cases is
the line Of demarcation overstepped by
disease. The horse does not die of yellow
fever or the man of epis0Otfc inJiasRza,
which is the name the veterinary sur
geons give this complaint. The disease
has, with the exception of the buffalo,
not been very fatal 10 the animals at
tackled, and indeed with rest, warmth,
and cleanliness there is every chance Of
recovery in some ten days or SO, but in
this city there is one great reason why
the mortality bids fair to be great. The
great bulk of horses here are used in the
car and omnibus lines and fer business
drayage. The supply being only equal to
the demand they must work even if sick,
and work to horse even slightly affect
ed by the episoOtic Influenza is death.
The loss of our horse-owners will, we
fear, aggregate millions. Y, Paper.

Only one grand and certain haul Of their
nets can trap the guilty and frighten the
innocent 90 that they shall never dare
pursue the business. The net was drawn.
The officers commenced about o'clock,
P. NJ, walking fifteen or twenty women
upstairs into the custom roOms, and
handing them over 10 a woman TO be
searched. Every boat load which landed,
for about three hours, was treated in the
same manner - that Is, all the female
portion. Some were indignant, and
appealed TO their husbands, who vainly
appealed 10 the Custom officers. Others
wanted TO faint away, but, after looking
at the p'anks and the dust, concluded not

but none Of them were permitted TO es-
cape. During the afternoon about one
hundred and fifty women were confront
ed by Uncle Sam, and some wonderful
discoveries were made. For instance, a
modest little woman, was in q great hurry
TO go home to her sick child, pulled out a
few pins, and ten yards of English flannel
fell to the floor. A tall woman, with
tears in her eyes, who asserted that she
would sooner chop her head of than to
think of smuggling, unfastened pound
of tea from her skeleton and asserted that
il must have been placed there by some
designing person. Another one indig-
nantly denied the right of Search" but
after remaining a prisoner for an hour or
two, told the searcher to " take ii and 60
to grass" throwing package of ribbons
aud lsces on the floor. A lot of calico
was found on another, some velvet on
another, and at least ten per cent, of the
whole number were found TO be engaged
in smuggling. The officials were satisfied
with contiscating the gsods.

The Mississippi Valley.

There is something really grand in the
march of civilization over our Western
prairies says New York paper. During
the fiscal year 1871 over ten million seven
hundred thousand acres passed from
the dominion OF the government into
private hands. This would make nearly
seventy thousand farm houses of one
hundred and sixty acres each, equivalent
to three states ear OF Il size Of Mas
sochussetts, and with agriculture capaci-
ties that the Bay State never knew. In
Kansas and Nebraska alone over fifteen
thousand entries were made within the
year under the homestead law. These
entries represent a population of fifty
thousand added to these two States on
lands freely presented them by govern
ment, besides large number who ac-
quired their homes by purchase. Each
year witnesses an increasing number on
our extreme frontier direct from Eu-
rope. Perhaps one-half of our Western
gain comes from foreign immigrants; and
now we hear that forty thousand Rus,
SLAMS are coming at one time and prob.
ably to one place. Our national advance
on our Western frontier, on line drawn
from the British dominions to Mexico,
is not far from sixteen miles year
Where railroads or river bottoms sum
mon the advancing population, this line
juts forward and makes salient angle
while mountain and marsh are apt to de
lay the movement of the squatter, and
thus tend to retard civilization. Blu
slowly and steadily the advancing column
moves on, and the child is now living

cent territory between the Mississippi
and the Pacific converted into happ,

OCEAN CURRENTS. curious conse-
quence of the never-failing oceanic
currents, is that by this means, says
DIR. Carpenter, every drop of water in
the sea, will in its turn, be brought from
the bottom and absorb air from the
surface. In the Mediterranean there is
no such circulation and in the great
depths of this sea there is an extraordi-
nary scarcity OF animal life. In the
Atlantic, on the contrary, an abundance
Of animal existence is everywhere en-
countered. The depths of the Mediter-
ranean are stagnant, being completely
cut off from the depths OF the Atlantic,
and without other causes to change and
freshen them. Vertical circulation can
not reach far, because this consists
merely in the descent of water concen-
trated by evaporation on the surface,
having become heavier by concentration
but which, going down, will soon diffuse
its excess of salt and not reach any great
depth. Its biological, and therefore
geological, character must differ widely
from that of any oceanic basin which
forms part of the great water system Of
the globe.

Poisoning From Green WALLPAPER.

A physician in western Massachusetts,
recently had lady patient who, for
several weeks, had been suffering from
nausea, general prostration, and other
symptoms of slow poisoning. Failing
to discover the cause of the symptoms,
as last resort the doctor requested her
to move from her chamber, the walls OF
which were green, so light, indeed, that
in the evening it could scarcely be dis
tinguished from white. After leaving
the room the symptoms Immediately dis
appeared, and the patient rapidly recov.
cred. A sample of the paper was for
warded for analysis to the State chemist
at Hartford, and was found to contain a
a large quantity of arsenic. Mr.. Hall
obtained the poison in the various forms
of metallic arsenic, yellow tersulphite,
silver arsenite and arsenious acid of
common white arsenic. He estimates
that every square foot of this innocent
looking paper contained an amount OF
the poison equivalent to five grains OF
arsenious acid, or double the fatal dose
for an adult person. This in the moist
warm weather of July and August, was
amply sufficient to keep the air of room
constantly impregnated with the poison,
and any person occupying such room
would be as certainly poisoned as though
the arsenic had been taken into the
stomach.

CATTLE TRADE OF CoLoRADo.-The
shipments of cattle from Denver, Car
son and Deer Trail during the present
season demonstrate the vast importance
of the cattle trade in Colorado. The en-.
tire number OF cattle already shipped
and ready for shipment during the sea-
son, will require over 1000 cars, and
number over $1,000 head. AT an aver
age valuation of $35 per head, we have a
total paid for cattle to the Territory of
1896, 900. These cattle are shipped at a
cost of $50 per car, from which the pub
lie can judge Of the enormous amount
paid out for freights by stockholders
fully $4,000.

The CHRISTIAN Poor. Mr.. Talmage,
in q recent sermon, talks thus encourage
ingly to the Christian poor "Here
comes great column of the Christian
poor. They always walked on earth,
The only ride they ever had was in the
hearse that took them to the potter's
field. They went day by day poorly
clad and meanly fed and insufficiently
sheltered. They were iostled out Of
houses whose rent they could not pay,
and out of churches where their presence
was an offence. Considering the insig-
nifcant way many of these went out Of
the world, the poor doctoring and the
course shroud and the haste of the obse-
quies, you might have expected for them
tame reception on the other side but
a shining retinue was waiting beyond
the river for their departing spirits, and
as they passed, celestial escort con
fronted them, and snow white chargers
of heaven were brought in. and the con
querors mounted and here they pass in
the throng of the victor-the poorhouse
exchanged for the palace, rags Tor i'm
perial attire, weary walking for seats Oh
the white horses from the Kings stable
Ride on, We victors."

~ NEW READINGS OF THE MARRIAGE
SERvIcE.-A Hampshire clergyman lately
reported In an evening contemporary
some of the blunders he had heard in the
Marriage Service by that class of persons
who have to pick the words up as best
they can flom hearing them repeated by
Others. He said that in his own parish It
was quite the fashion for the man, when
giving the ring, to say to the woman,
with my body | thee wash up, and with
all my hurdle goods / thee and thou. y
He said the women were generally better
up in this part of the Service than the
men. One day, however, bride startled
him by promising, in what she supposed
to be the language of the Prayer Book, to
take her hurband to ave and to 'old
from this day fortni't, for betterer horse
for richerer power, in siggerness health to
love cherries, and to bay" What mean
ing this extraordinary VOW conveyed to
her own mind the clergyman said ii
baff1ed him to conjecture.
