When the physical energies droop and the mind
becomes Iethargic it may be taken for granted
that the digestion is impaired and the liver dere-
Iict in Its duty. Upon the condition the stomach
and liver depend the condition of the blood, and
upon the quality of that fluid depends the vigor of
the body and the capacity for brain Iaber. It is,
therefore, of the utmost Importance to men en-
gagged in active pursuits who are subject to attacks
of bodily weakness and mental stupor or indifer-
ence, to know from what source they can obtain
immediate and Prepayment relief. The tonic and
antibnious stimulating elements combined in
Hostetters Stomach Bitters, peculiarly adapt that
genial preparation to cases OF this kind. The
rapidly with which it rouses the dormant powers
of the muscular and nervous system, is marvel
Ious. Acting first upon the digestive organs, and
through them up on the fluids of the body, the
nerves and the brain, it renovates, refreshes and
regulates, not only the corporal powers, but the
mind itself As debility and it's usual concomitant
mental torpor depression, are often caused, and
where they already exist, are always aggravated
by the damp and variable weather prevalent in
the spring months, persons of feeble stamina and
week nerves should gs through a course of this
agreeable stimulaht at this season, and indeed
would derive great advantages from taking IL al
least once day throughout the year.

four shillings the pound. They are
used for parures. military plumes, and
feather brushes. The generals plume
is of cocks feathers, white and dyed
red those worn by officers on the med
ical staff are dyed black and bronzed.
Staff officers and deputy lieutenants OF
counties wear plumes of swans feath-
ers.
Feather flowers are not so much
priced now, owing to the great beauty
and cheaPness of the. common artificial
flowers. They are chiefly made at Ma
| delra and in Brazil the latter are the
best and fetch higher price. At Bahia
the Solidale convent is the great locale
where they are made.
The most splendid bird of tropical
America is the trogon yiridis or SPLEEN
dens. Aside from the brilliant metallic
splendor of its plumage and the grace
fulness of its form, there is a peculiar
| interest connected with this magnificent
bird. The long, slender, gilded feath-
ers of the tail coverts were allowed
only to be worn by the royal family of
the meas. The meas with all their
gorgeous magnifceuce have passed
away, and the race of the red men
which venerated them is fast following,
but the bird whose plumes decked their
diadems shines as brilliant as ever.
Herons' feathers are a symbol of
rank in Turkey. The sultan wears
three in his turban, the grand vizier
two, and the other public officers one.
The herons as a whole are the most
beautiful of all the waders, not so much
from the color of their plumage, as from
the elegant crests and prolonged feath-
ers which ornament nearly all the spe-
cies. The stOrks all furnish, In more
or less perfection, the beautiful pIumes
superior IN estimation even to those
of the ostrich--known by the name of
marabouts, from their appellatiOn in
Senegal. The under tail cOverts afford
the beautiful plumes. ---
Old writings speak of feathers being
woven into peculiar kind of cloth by
the Chinese Among them was the
Celestial goose velvet, the foundation
of the fabric being of silk, into which
the feathers were skiIIfuIly interviewer
in a common loom, those of crimson
hue being the most expensive. Tradi-
ton states that garments made of feath-
ers, and resembling fur dresses, were
presented to the Emperor Shauhau,
who reigned twenty-five centuries be
fore our era. The earliest aIlusion to
robes woven with feathers occurs in the
history of the Tsin dynasty. In the
year 272 a. D., the court physician pre-
scented the emperor with gown made
of feathers from the golden headed
pheasant. A son of the Emperor Wuti,
notorious for his extravaganza, had in
the fifth century a robe woven with
peacock feathers EUery Saturday.

Though " combinations strong as proofs of
Holy Writ, " and as numerous as the sand on
the sea shore, were produced to prove that
DIR. Pierce, the proprietor of DR.. Sage's Ca
tarrh Remedy, is in earnest and means what
he says, when he offers $500 reward for any
case of catarrh which he cannot cure, yet there
would be some skeptics and fOgies who would
continue to shout 80 Humbug!" - humbug ="
g 1t cannot be, because DIR. Homespun, says
catarrh connot be cured" Now, this Dr.
Homespun is the identical gOod-natured old
fellow who honestly believes and persists in
declaring that this each is not round or spher-
ical but fat as ''slap-iack," and does not
turn over, otherwise all the water would be
spilled out of Deacon BascOm's mill pond
But astronomical science has positively de-
monstrated and proven that DR.. Homespun is
wrong IN suppOsing the earth to be fat and
stationary, and medical science is daily prov
ing the fact that he is no less mistaken and
behind the times in regard to the durability Of
catarrh. Ia short. it has been positively pro
ven that this world moves, and that medical
science Is progressive, the opinion of DR..
Homespun to the contrary Notwithstanding.

BEAUTY.

Not on the earth
Hath beauty bloom, cath beauty power
This is alone its natal hour
The chamber of its birth
Here the germ dweIls,
And, prone to silence, and to night
It burns to love and life and light
AS daisies in our dells.
But not earth
Hath beauty growth beyond the flower
The life that in a day or hour
Goes to another birth
And all we see
Of beauty is a glimmer bright
Is but the promise of night
The glory that's to be.
When, in the skies,
The spirit doth unfold and find
LIES hopes grown perfect to the mind
For beauty then il signs
And beauty there
Compares with beauty here below,
As mornings golden skies aglow -
With murkiest clouds compare
The forms we love
And cherish for each faultless line
But shadows are of those divine
That we shall know above
Lo, let us live
In love of Nature, not of Art,
That each may then, with reverend heart
Fit homage have to give.

MILLIONS ON THE STRIKE In spite
OF the enormous amount of capital in
vested IN the promotion of Intemperance,
the missionaries of sobriety have no
reason to be disheartened. The strike
against alcoholic drinks is not confined
to the ordinary liquors of commerce. 1t
is extending to all medicines of which
ardent spirits form component part.
The belief that stimulants of this nature
are slow poisons gains ground every
where. Eminent Psychologists preach
the doctrine, and the dissecting knife
and the microscope afford post nlorten1
evidence of its truth Fortunately at
the very time when our distinguished
surgeons were making the experiments
which led to this conclusion, a sagacious
member of the profession, DR.. Joseph
Walker of California, was perfecting a
vegetable tonic, possessing all the re-
storative properties claimed for the
splrituOUs astringents, and free from
their deadly sting. To those demoraliz-
ing, health destroying potions his
famous VINEGAR Buffers seem to be
giving the coup de grace. The demand
for Thorn declines, while the commercial
and sanitary success of the new medicine
is complete. And we hear daily of cases
of dyspepsia, biliOusness, malariOUs
fever, rheumatism, constipation, general
and local debility, govt, kidney disease,
etc, that have succumbed to the great
restorative after resisting all others.

ReIieving Choked CattIe.

On an animal becoming choked with
any hard substance that cannot pass the
guIlet, harsh measures should never be
used until all others have failed. -
The practice Of placing block against
one side of the throat and endeavoring
to break the obstruction with mallet,
as is. sometimes practiced, is simply bru-
tai. One of the simplest, and, at the
same time, most efficacious remedies, is
to give half pint of lard oil or melted
lard, by drawing out the animals
tongue, raising the head and admins
tering from thick bottle. This lubri-
Gates the gulIet, sickens the stom ach
relaxes the muscles of the throat, and
in coughing, the lodged substance will
generally pass either up or down.
If the choking has existed so long
that inflammation of the throat has en-
ued, resort must be had to the pro-
bing, any flexible rod either whalebone,
vulcanized rubber, ETC., with a sponge
or soft substance affixed to the end In
troduce the soft end into the throat,
holding the animals head up, and the
obstruction being reached, press it
firmly down at any risk, for it is now a
case of life or death.
To relieve the inflammation, apply a
slppery-elm pOultice, keeping it in close
contact with the throat by securing the
folds IN which it is placed by means of
cords to the horns, keep the animal on
light soft food, assisted with inseed oil
tea, until the inflammation is subdued.

Upon peak in Bhroud of cloud and moss
Made bare and b.Onzed in fair antiquity.

Has rent apart his granite wall, and thrown
Its rugged front before us. Here see
The strides of giant men in cryptic stone,
And turn, and descend where sleep the great

The brave returned TO sleep amid the brave
The sentinel that stood with steely breast
Before the fiery host Of France, and gave
The battle cry that rolled, receding wave
On wave, the foeman flying back and far,

He stands with lifted staff unchid before
The forms that once had crushed or fashioned

A little time before. The hand disowns
The idle sword and now instead the grand
