FEVER AND AGUE prevails to a painful
extent in most sections of the West. A
good, safe and sure remedy is looked for by
the people one they can take to their homes
to use in time of need. We would, there
fore, recommend to all, Perry Davis's Pain
Killer, as being a safe and sure remedy; by
using it internally and externally freely, it
will soon drive all appearances OF the disease
from the system. For sale by all medicine
dealers.

THE STAR OF PROMISE TO REFORM.

Cincinnati Convention, written by prominent

Position AND MoT1oN.-Somc interesting
facts regarding standing, walking, and lying
down are grouped in lecture by Professor
Burt G. Wilder. In man the great toe is
the essential part Of the foot in standing and
walking. In the ape this is a thumb stand
ing out from the side of the foot, and there.
fore has no power Of supporting or propeling.
The ape cannot carry himself erect. Put
man OIL all fours, like an ape, and the enor-
nous disadvantage appears at once. The
head hangs as a great weight, with no ade-
quate muscles to support it. The curve OF
the back is such that the knees touch the
ground, and we have to raise the thighs in
order to make the feet touch the ground.
Mans foot is called a plantigrade foot-that
is, it has the whole sole fiat upon the ground.
One other animal has plantigrade foot, but
he uses it in different fashion; he lifts the
whole foot together and puts it down Hat,
while the man strikes with the heel first and
rolls forward upon each toe alternately. The
erect attitude is maintained by constant
though unconscious control of the muscles OF
the leg by the brain. The length of the man
is greater when he is lying fiat than when he
is standing. In the former case the body
stretches itself; in the latter it settles down
upon itself. A man is shorter when stand
ing on one foot alone. He is shorter again
when walking. For this reason ladies skirts
which just clear the ground when they are
standing, drag on the pavement as soon as
they begin to walk. The different parts Of
the body are bent upon each other, and swing
ON one side to the other. A very singular
fact connected with walking, is that one side
of the body tends to outwalk the other. Per-
sons with their eyes shut cannot walk in a
straight line for any length Of time; and per-
sons who are lost in the woods or prairics are
sure to travel in a circle. There is greater
tendency to wander off to the right than to
tue left.

How TO DIRECT LETTERS The Postmas-
ter-General has issued an order to facilitate
mail distribution and transmission, by re-
questing of all people that they shall always
superscribe their letters, papers, circulars,
ETC., with the name of County as well as
State. This has been always desirable
thing, TO avoid errors. The abreviation of
the State is easily mistaken in the swift dis
patch necessary in large offices, or in railway
distribution, but the name of the county
would be sure to catch the eye. Even the
great cities that would seem to be conspicu-
Gus exceptions to the necessity, do not hold
their names SO exclusively that no mistake
can be made. There is another New York
Gn Wayne county, Iowa. beside the great
metropolis, there are seven Bostons beside
the capitol Of Massachusetts, there are five
Philadelphias in addition to The Quaker city,
there are two Chicagos beside the burned
garden city, there are thirty Wasbingtons,
fifteen Albanys, twenty-five Richmonds, six
st. Louis, and many other instances Of redu-
plcaton; while in minor names the possibil-
ity of mistake is even more multiplied by
their want of an over-weening prominence.
So that Mr.. CreswelI's request is a reasona-
bic one, and will doubtless be generally COM
piled with, as it is for the interest of the pco-
pie who write and receive, even more than
for the convenience of postal clerks.

RUN HIM OUT.

The moral to the following, told by the
s"nefef' Is 100 apparent TO mention. 1oung
ladies will hereafter run their brothers cut
when gentlemen call:
I'm certain that wished somebody would
spank the young rascal. We talked of hills,
mountains, Wales and cataracts-I believe |
said waterfalls, when the boy spoke up and
said:
"Why, sisters got trunk full of them
up stairs; pa says they are made of hoss
hair"
This revelation struck terror into me, and
bushes into the cheeks of my fair companion.
1t began to be very apparent to me that
must be very guarded in what said, lest
the boy might slip in bis remarks at uncalled
for places; in fact, turned my conversation
to him, aud told him he ought to 90 home
with me, and see what nice chickens we had
in the country. Unluckily, mentioned a
yoke Of calves my brother owned The
word'caves ruined ALL The little one looked
up and said:
SISTERS got a dozen pair of them, but
she don't wear em only when she goes up in
town on windy days"
"Leave the room, you unmannerly little
wretch! " exclaimed Emily; "leave imme-
diately."
81 know what YOU want me to leave tho
room for" he replied; "you can't fool me,
you want to set on that mans lap and kiss
him like you did Bill Simmons the other
day; you can't fool me, jes tell you. Gem

IMPROVED SOAP BUBBLES. We find in an
exchange paragraph which teaches the art
of blowing soap-buhbles that will show the
changing colors of the rainbow, and may be
of special interest to some of our juvenile
readers. The directions are as foliows:-
Take threc-quarters Of pint of water that
has been boiled and become cold, and put
into it quarter of an ounce of CASTLE soap,
cut up fine. Put this into pint bottle, and
set it in hot water in a saucepan, on the fire;
there let it remain an hour or So now and
then giving it good shaking, till the soapis
dissolved. Let the fluid stand quiet for the
impurities and coloring matter of the soap to-
settle; then pour off the fluid and add to it
four ounces of glycerine, and your soap-bub-
BILE solution is ready. In an ordinary way
you may blow the bubbles easy with to-
bacco pipe, but if you wish to attain scientific
perfection, you had better employ glass
pipe. By adding large quantity of glyce-
rine, you may make these bubbles so strong
that you can play battledore with them.
