among children, whose deaths in many in

"SALA' ON THE PANAMA HAr.-Are
YOU aware of the beauties of Panama
hat? 1t is of fine straw-straw so fine
end so exeusitely plated, that it appears
to be of one united glossy nature. 1t is
az soft as silk, and as strong as chain mail,
and rs elastic as caoutehouc. If you are
caught in shower of rain, and your
Panama gets wet through, you have only
to wiring it out as though it were towel,
and hang it on your walking stick to dry,
and in quarter Of an hour it will have
regained its pristine shape. The Spaniards
declare that a Panama is shot-proof, and
an infallible protection against sunstroke ;
but of these assertions have my doubts.
The life of Panama hat may be measured
by that Of raven. 1t is supposed never
to wear out. At all events, there is a
cunning halter in New York. who, for
SO, will undertake to return TO you, ms
good as new, a Panama hat, which is
twenty years old, and has been in the
wars, and ship-wrecked, and thrown into
lime kiln, n tan-pit, and bucket OF tar.
This peerless hat is not TO be purchased at
Il mean price. 1t is the dearest head gear
manufactured. Red skinned maidens have
intoned whole cantos of Indian epics while
they plated and sewed together those
minute circles of straw. A good Panama
will stand you in from fifty to seventy five
pesos de oro--trom fifty to one hundred
dollars.

q remedy which is making its way into

flying medicine, it has no equal II is
stated that its ingredients obtained from

CURE FOR TIE OPIUM HABIT.-In a
recent report on the condition of the
English hospital at Pekin, China, the
attending physician gives a formula for
"anti-opium pills" The remedy is com
posed of extract of henbane, extract of
gentian, camphor, quinine, cayenne pep.
per, ginger and cinnamon, with CASTLE
soap and syrup TO form the mass, and
licorice powder to form the coating. The
efficacy of these pills in overcoming the
opium habit, and in preventing the suffer
ing on giving up the use of that poison,
is stated to have been proved in numer
ous cases. The native remedies, it is
said, contain opium in some form, and
most frequently the ashes of opium al
ready smoked, and consequently are in
efficacous-it being as difficult to discon-
tinue the use of the medicine as of the
drug itself.

The OIL Wells.

The American Old Ftl2ow in an ar

In the year 1868, however, Col. l.. l.
Drake, the superintendent of the com
pany, began to bore an artesian we'll fol
oil, much to the amusement of his friends
and neighbors, who considered the pro-
ject most absurd.
When, however, on the 2sth Of August
1859, he "struck ile," there was great
excitement. Every one who could leave
his home, rushed to the oil regions, q
forest Of derricks soon appeared in the
valley, and numerous wells were bored.
Wells were also bored in West Virginia,
Ohio, etc. No mining enterprise had
ever offered such sudden fortunes. A
well costing lew thousand dollars
might yield, if successful, from 100 to
1000 barrels of oil daily, with no expense
for pumping, The Noble well yielded
in n little more than one year 100000
barrels of oil. The Sherman flowed

The poor farmers on Oil Creek who
could not previously have realized more
than few dollars per acre, suddenly
found themselves wealthy. Single farms
brought their owners from $500, 900 to
/, 600, 900, with a royalty on the wells in
addition in some cases. One man re-
ceived S3, 600 per day royalty, and thus
accumulated $500, 0O0, all of which was
soon squandered.

BE NEIGHBoRLY.-Be sociable strive
to be on visiting terms with the families
who live nearest you, and to gain az
influence over them this can be the
more easily done if you are rich in this
case, wealth is talent it is an instru-
mentality Tor good which every man and
women = bound to use to advantage
for talent unused or unemployed,
brings the disapprobation of the infinite
one. As long as the world stands, the
masses will look up to wealth ; the
will do things to please the rich will
be at pains to get their commentator,
their recognition. Suppose the rich men
and women of any church were to cult
vate certain degree of sociableness and
frlendliness, of neighborly courtesy to-
ward all living within mile or two of
the meeting house, it is perfectly certain
that that house would be more encour-
agingly filled on Sundays than other
wise. But then good, physical good,
would come to the good doer. The
visit to the poor mans dwelling involves
exercise in the open air by talking
with his family, we get new views, new
ideas have different phases of life
presented to us, and new feelings and
new emotions come across the mind to
wake up the powers within us to health
full activities. In the same connection it
is advantageous for all, sick or well, to
mix among strangers. 1t breaks mp the
wearing monotony of home life breaks
up that stagnation of thought and
feeling and emotion which attends a
life OF sameness and inactivity.

How TO CHOOSE A WIFE.-We ven
ture to give the following recipe for the
selection of n wife: "A place for every
thing and everything in its place" said
an old man to his daughter. "Select
not n wife, my son, who will ever step
over broomstick." The son was ODE
dent to the lesson. "Now," said he,
pleasantly, on May day to one of his
companions, 81 appoint this broomsticl
to choose me n wife. The young lady
who will not step over it shall have the
offer OF my hand" They passed from
the splendid saloon to the grove. Some
hmbled over the broom.'tick, Others
jumped oven it. at length young lady
stopped ard put it in its place. The
promise was fulfilled. She became the
wife of an educated and wealthy young
man, and he the husband of prudent,
industrious, and lovely wife. He brought
a fortune to her and she knew how to
save one. 1t is not easy TO decide which
was under the greatest Obligations: both
we're rich, and each enriched the other.

WHAT THEY DID.-A singular state
ment is make in an Auburn newspaper
A few weeks ago a gentleman who was
passing through Auburn left package of
five hundred temperance tracts with the
chaplainofthe prison for circulation among
the convicts. The tracts were searching
ly scrutnized by the chaplin, who found
that they were written with great care,
and likely to do good, They discussed
the various aspects of the temperance
question. and, among other things, men
toned the various drugs and poisons OF
which liquors are so often made, giving
analyses and explanations of the way
they are manufactured, with a view to
show how deletorious they are to health.
The tracts were distributed. Soon after
ward various convicts We're found in an
intoxicated condition. On investigation
it came to light that number OF them
had actually made use of the recipes in
the tracts, and produced kind of whisksy
on which those in the secret had been
reveling until detected. How they OBJ
tanned the materials from which to make
it is not stated.
