But in warm simmer weather, when the flow Of
perspiration is excessively copious, something be-
sides the exhausted material Of the bod is evap-
GRATED. Nutritive elements Of the blood, required
for the sustenance and support Of the livingframc,
pass through the pores, and the result is . loss Of
strength and vigor. It would be dangerous to
check the leakage, for every pore is at once . ven

too often the precursors Of bilious attacks and
painful affections Of the bowels and the nerves,

Beau Hickman.

A correspondent of the chicago Irt-
bune tells this story about the late
Beau Hickman, which has never before
appeared in print.
On one occasion, Beau being on a
train without q ticket. he took seat ia
the cars, and after the train had been In
motion some time, stepped into the
next car and called out loudly, Tick
cts ~ when every one, thinking him
the conductor, held out their tickets.
Beau only took up one, however, Sc
lecting that of poor, honest old Ger
man farmer, and, passing into the next
car, took seat, sticking his ticket in
the band of his hat.
In few minutes there was the usual
call again of Tickets - and the real
conductor made his appearance. When
he came to the old German farmer, he
attempted to explain, but the conduc-
tor cut him short, saying, "Show your
ticket, pay your money, or get oil the
train. A good many passengers who
had Witnessed the transaction between
Hickman and the farmer, and wondered
ut the time why their tickets had not
been called for, now came to the relief
of the German, and demonstrated, pro-
testing that the man had paid, and the
conductor who had just passed through
had already taken up his ticket. The
conductor, thinking for moment,
said, "pll bet Beau Hickman is on this
train" and, sure enough, on entering
the next car, there sat Beau, as large as
life, looking quite innocent, and his
ticket exposed IN full view.
Where did you get this ticket ?"
asked the conductor, pulling it out of
Hickman's hat band.
''It was given me by a gentleman in
the next car" frankly replied Beau.
You ought to be ashamed to rob
a poor old German farmer in that
way"
"Politest and cleverest people in the
world on your road" said Beau, with
his inimitable smile and little bow.
"Why, would you believe me, sir 81? L
only need one, but every man in the
car, when they knew who l was, ten
dered me his ticket; and the ladies'
God bless them at least a dozen
offered me theirs" The conductor
passed him.

Fooled the Gamblers.

A short time ago it was frequent oc-
currence for an impromptu game of faro
to be played upon certain Hudson river
boats, during their trips up and down
the river. The game was organized by
a set of sharpers who travelled upon the
boat, and party being collected in the
forward cabin the game would be pro-
posed, and the man who could show the
most money was allowed to be banker
and dealer. The gamblers never
banked themselves, as they furnished
the cards, which had been "bored, !"
and they generally could bet with safety
upon the call. The dealer one day
was simple looking man, who shufled
the cards so awkwardly that every one
present could see that the king was i'm
mediately under the top card when he
put them in the box. Immediately
every gambler "coppered " the king
with his entire pile. The dealer looked
astonished, but said nothing, and slid
out the top card which exposed the
king, which in turn was slid out, and
behold beneath that was another king,
making "split" as it is termed. Cool
ly raking in half the money upon the
board, he arose and left the cabin. 1t
was soon discovered that he was a noted
sharper himself, instead of being the
simpleton he had passed himself off for
while serving the purpose he had in
hand.

The Jewish New Year,

The year 1854 of the Jewish calendar
commenced Sept. ODD, and extends
until Sept. II, 1874. AS with all the
numerous feasts and fasts to be found
in the Hebrew almanac, the celebration
of the New Year commenced on the
preceding evening, that is, the evening
of the 21st.
OF all tie festivals of the Israelites,
none is so universally honored and so
strictly celebrated as the festival of the
New Year. The synagogues are crowd
ed to their utmost capacity, and the
services are of the most impressive and
solemn nature. The orthodox Jews OBJ
serve with equal solemnity and devo-
ton the first and second days of the
New Year, while that portion of the
Jewish community known as reformers,
content themselves with celebrating the
first day only as holiday, and have
also made great changes in the congre-
gational services.
Following slowly upon the festival of
the New Year is the fast of :" Yom Kip
pur," or day of atonement, which occurs
on Wednesday, the 1st of October. The
days intervening between Rosh Hash
annah New Year, and Yom Kippur are
known as the "Days of Penitence, "and
are devoted by pious Israelites to pre-
paration for the solemn fast of atone
ment, and are spent chiefly in devotion
and prayer for the remission of sins,
and for pardon for past offences. Dur
ing these days, denominatod "Yimi
Teshuvo," the orthodox places of wor-
ship are open to the pious worshipers
early and late, and the services are of a
peculiar nature set apart for this solemn
season of the year. The religious revi-
val usual during the penitential days
eliminate in the solemn fast of the
atonement, which in turn is quickly
followed by the feast of tabernacles, a
season of Joy and gladness, which COM
mences on the 9th of October and con-
tinues until the 14th, and is a sort OF
harvest feast.

The Money in Advertising.

Il Is lime, says the Newspaper Re
porter, all business men should under
stand that, with here and there spe-
cial exception, the newspaper is par
excellence the only medium for adver-
Using that is worth their serious atten-
ton. The newspaper is thing of life,
a visible fact, sure of its circulation,
certain to be read. 1t constantly re-
news its youth daily or weekly it ap-
pears afresh, containing mary old faces,
making themselves constantly more and
more familiar, but holding also fresh
fccts, the latest news, the last wonder ;
even in its gossip, it gives the matter of
its time and tells what is alive and NOV
ing, up to the very date it bears, while
its advertising columns show what is
being done in commercial circles and
lay before its readers concise sum-
mary of those new ideas through which
money is made by their fellows. AS
compared with all other advertising
methods its charges are reasonable, and
it's promises modest, and while the bust
ness man is supporting it, he is, more
over, gaining from it in more ways than
he may see at first sight.
How is it on the other hand with the
Hotel Albums" Strangers Guides, "
and such like volumes introduced to
the merchant by the, supple young So
licitor, as "the greatest mejum of the
age" or "the grandest advertising
scheme ever projected ?" 1t is true
that the merchant is promised a " cir
culation of from five to ten thousand
and copy gratis to every hotel" But
is the promise kept are one thousand
copies printed Five hundred ?-one
hundred The advertiser has no means
of knowing. 1t is too often the case
that such schemes are advertising traps
which the merchant blindly enters. In
the newspaper every facility Is offered
him in ascertaining the strength and
probable value of his investment, while,
at the time, the newspaper must send
its issue to its various subscribers who
pay for it and are bound to read it.
But supposing the volumes referred to
are to be found in all the hotels who
reads them ? You see hundreds of peo-
pie in hotel parlors with their news
paper, but how many look over the old,
dilipidated, margin-scribbled Guide
to Strangers ?" The moment such a
work is published it becomes old. The
matter and the pictures are already
obsolete before the last advertiser pays
in. Have these the influence of the
family newspaper, chiefest of house.
hold gods ? Probably not. The " Hotel
Album, if its publishers promises are
kept, is sent to divers hotels. Suppose
for n moment that strangers read them,
of what advantage is it as compared
with the paper which strikes the very
heart-centre of those from whom the
merchant expects his trade. And, last
of all, the "Album " gives him but one
insertion. One insertion for perhaps a
hundred dollars. The same amount
would make the merchants name a
household word in the community from
which he draws his best custom-cus-
tom he can look after among people he
knows something about.
The question then arises, "Why do
merchants waste money in this kind OF
advertising ?" Perhaps the merchants
could best tell us, if they would NJ Y

A Puzzle,

A couple of scientific Frenchmen (of
course y have been posing themselves
and each other with the question as to
where a man who, travelling west from
any place at the rate of thousand miles
an hour, would find Monday pass into
Tuesday. If he started at noon on
Monday the sun would always be in the
meridian, because he would journey
with equal rapidity with the earth S
motion, and the sun would, therefore,
be at rest SO far as he would be con-
cerned. 1t would, therefore, be always
Monday noon to him, but when he COM
pleted his journey it would be Tuesday
noon. These unhappy individuals can
not find out where Monday night occurs
to the traveller.

CAN 1T BE TRUE within the last
few months q considerable number OF
persons have called upon DIR. Walker,
the proprietor of the popular medicine
known as VINEGAR BTTERs, and as
sured him that, in their belief, his
preparation is an infallible antidote for
rum and tobacco. The minute details
which have been furnished him forbid
him to doubt the accuracy of the state
ments. This new claim of great rem
edy to the confidence of the public will
give vast and well-deserved impulse
to its popularity. Heretofore the BIT
TIERS have been recognized as pure
vegetable tonic and corrective, devoid
of alcohol, and thoroughly adapted to
the cure of stomach and bowel com
plants, nervous disorders, bilious af-
fections, muscular diseases, and, in
deed, majority of the ailments within
the reach of medicine but if it will
also cure the craving for liquor and to-
bacco, philosophers, statesmen and the
ologians ought to unite their voices III
it's praise. Can the good news be true !?
1t is easy to test the question.-Con'.
