Natural Deeay---Protect the system.

The human body Ia q machine, and therefore can
not endure forever but, like watch or a sewing
machine it will last much longer If properly regu-
lated and duly repaired, than IL no pains were
taken to keep it in order The great object Of every
one who desires long and healthy life should be
to put his body in a condition 70 resist the life
threatening influences by which we are all more or
less surrounded; and no inVigorant or corrective
at present known so effectively answers this pur-
pose as the vitalizing elixir which, under the I'M
pretending name Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
has been for than twenty years the standard
tonic of America. In crowded cities, where the
atmosphere is contaminated with the efiuvia in
separable frem large populations in marshy
regions where the soggy soil reeks with miasma !;
on the praires and in the forests Where every fall
the air is tainted with exhalations from rottiDg
weeds and grasses or decomposing leaves--in
short in every locality where malaria exists, this
powerful vegetable antidote is urgently needed.
Fever and ague, bilious fevers, dysentefy, COMICS
ton Of the liver, jaundice, rheumatism, and all
diseases which are generated by infected air, i'm
pure water, or sudden changes Of temperature,
may be averted by strengthening tie system in
advance with Hostetters Bitters. Autumn Is al
ways season of peril, especially to weak, suscept-
ible organizations. Even the more vigorous are
apt to be in some measure depressed by the humid
atmosphere, loaded with deIeterious gases pro-
duced by vegetable decay. The fall is a period OF
the year when the renovation and regulation OF the
living machine is peculiarly important, and the
Bitters should therefore be taken daily at this
critical season.

The Winter Hut Described by One Of
the POlaris Crew,

A seaman thus describes the hut
where the party wintered The hut
was twenty-five feet by fourteen, the
materials used being chiefly spars and
the bulkheads of the staterooms of the
vessel The roof was covered with sails
and was perfectly watertight a fire
was placed in one end of the hut with a
stovepipe as a chimney. A gallery and
stateroom were also provided. The
hut was simply one apartment with
berths around the sides. When
thoroughly banked up with snow all
around and supplied with the stoves
of the Polaris, the explorers found
themselves in possession of very COM
Portable lodging for winter, and, making
up their minds to wait in patience for
the spring, each man seemed to be COM
paratively happy. At this time the
weather was always dark and the hut
was kept cheerfully lighted by oil
lamps which had been got out Of the
vessel, the oil used being from seals
and walrus; the time was beguiled with
reading and games at chess, and a good
fire was kept constantly burning, the
unused coal on board the Polaris having
been launched and used for the purpose.
On the LIST of February the coal was
consumed, and the ship was made to
supply wood instead. Till the LIST Of
April the time was spent in much the
same manner, when the party began tc
consider the propriety of leaving tc
seek their way to some spot where they
might be picked up by some vessel. TC
enable them to do this Mr.. Chester, the
chief mate, with the assistance of the
carpenters and Mr.. John Booth, set tC
work to build two boats, the necessary
materials being got from the vessel
Each of the boats were twenty-five fee
long, with five beam, square at eacl
end, boat turned up and capable o
carrying seven men, with stores for tw'
months. The middle of May arrived
before the boats were completed, owing
to the great difficulty there was in get
ting materials for construction.

Something about Beef.

Two kinds of fluid are used besides
broth, says Pierre Blot, to make soups
--',iM and tUater but, although good,
they are light soups in comparison with
those made with broth. Butter is add
ed when water is used
Bones alone make gelatinous broth,
but not as nutritious as when used with
meat. A pound of meat and bones
makes q pint and half of good broth (;
two pounds make quart of rich broth.
The more meat used with q certain
amount of water, the richer the broth.
The pieces of beef generally used to
make broth are the leg, the shin, the
neck, the round, and the chuck other
pieces are just as good, but they are
dearer, and dc not make more or better
broth. Besides beef, the trimmings of
pieces of beef and veal, of chickens,
turkeys, and Guinea birds, are excellent
to make broth also the bones and what
has been left of the same pieces after
having been served as roasted pieces,
and after having cracked the bones
with chopper. Any kind of meat or
bones used to make broth must be
fresh the piece of meat OF bird, the
bones Of which are used for broth, must
have been roasted when very fresh.
The least faint spoils the broth. Many
epicures use every kind of game, biped
or quadruped, with beef to make broth,
either raw or the bones of such after
having been served as roast pieces, es-
pecially such game as cartridges and
like birds, rabbits, hares, etc.; such
broth has a gamy taste. Some go fur
ther; when they have made rich beet
broth, they boil game in it to make it
richer, and then make conSonanae with
it. 1t is then real assence of meat, and
very rich food.
The best utensil for making broth is
an earthen pot; next is a copper OF
iron digester or kettle, we'll lined with
tin. An iron pan lined with porcelain
is excellent if the porcelain is mo-
cracked. Any kind of fire is good az
long as it is not too sharp, and vii
keep the pot simmering; it does no
matter whether it is on stove or range
in CRATE or furnace, or whether it is {
hard coal, charcoal, or wood fire. It il
not necessary to be thorough cook tx
make excellent broth, for care ant
watchfulness are the only two qualitie
reouired

Lessons of Life,

OF the lessons that humanity has to
learn, the hardest is to learn to wait.
Not to wait with folded hands that
claim ife's prizes without previous
efforts, but have struggled and crowded
the slow years with trial, see no result
as efforts seem to warrant-nay, per-
haps, disaster instead. To stand firm
at such crisis of existence, to preserve
ones self-poise and self-respect, not to
lose. hold or relax effort, this is great
ness, whether achieved by man or wo-
man-whether the eye of the world
notes it, or it is recorded in the book,
which the light Of eternity shall alone
make clear to vision. Those who stand
on the high places of the earth under
stand not what necessity, what suffer-
ing means. They know not what it is
to anoble mind to be obliged, like the
worms, to crawl upon the earth for
nourishment, because it has not the
strength to endure famine. Life moves
around them with so much grace, splen-
dor and beauty they drink LIES
sweetest wine, and dance to charming
intoxication. They find nothing with,
in them which can enable them to I'M
derstand the real suffering of the poor
they love only themselves, and look at
mankind only in their own narrow
circle.

The Deadly Effects Of Ahsinthe.

During the session of the Medical
Congress at Lyons, one day was set
apart for the study of alcoholic stimu-
lants. On that occasion the physician
of the st. Anne Asylum, DIR. Magnan,
comparing the chemical action of alco-
hol and absinthe ON man, drew the con-
clusion that the former acts more slow
ly, gradually provoking delirium and
digestive arrangement, while absinthe
rapidly results in epilepsy. Then, pro-
ducing couple of dogs, he treated one
with alcohol and the other with the es-
sence of absinthe, this latter being the
active principle of the absinthe liquor
which is commonly drunk. The alco'
holized brute could not stand up, be.
came sleepy and stupid, and, when sci
on his legs, trembled in an inert mass
the other dog experienced at once
frightful attacks of epilepsy. Anal
ogous effects are produced in mankind

A Meeting at Sea.

There was a curious state of affairs
on board the ship Sea Witch, Capt.
Baker, which sailed from Liverpool on
the Goth of August for New York. Fair
ly out at sea, Peter Lee and William
Hartigan assumed the leadership of the
sailors, who styled these the forecastle
lawyers. Under their direction the
crew revolted on the 4th of September.
There was constant reign of terror
the rest of the voyage. Capt. Baker
and his mates were compelled to set the
sails and perform the most mental du-
ties. Such of the sailors as opposed
the munity were obliged to join it to
save their lives. The crew were arrest
ed in New York harobr and sent to
prison,

A terrible scene took place in Man
ders' Menagerie, at Whitby, In England,
on Sept. Is. There were several hun
dred people in the show when heart
rending cries, as from one in mortal
agony, went through the air. A panic
ensued. The people, terribly excited,
ran en- DlasSe to the narrow oHtlet, and
endeavored 20 escape by other means.
A cry was raised outside that one of
the beasts had burst through the bars
of its cage, and the excitement among
the crowd without was scarcely less in
tense than that within. In the rush to
the door many people, particularly the
weaker sex, were injured, and the con-
fusion was increased from the circum-
stance of a couple of camels blocking
up the doorway. Meanwhile the cries
continued, aud it was discovered that a
poor boy named Langley was the vic
tim of the yiciousness of a big tiger,
placed alongside another next to the
cage containing the lion that Worried
to death poor MCCARTHY, the lion-tamer,
at Bolton last year. The tiger was in
fnfiated, and was making strenuous eff
forts to draw the lad through the Bars
of the cage. The beast growled fright
fully. and what with the pitiful cries of
the boy, the shouts of the men, and the
screams of half-fainting women, the
scene was one of the most terrible de-
scription. Some men ran for hot irons,
while others beat the beast with their
sticks and umbrellas, and did all they
could to draw the brute from its help
less victim. Ultimately, after a severe
mauling, the animal relinquished its
prey, and the hoy, helpless and faint
through loss of blood from the injuries
lie had received, was borne away
through the crowd. His wounds, upon
being dressed, appeared to be of a Sc
rious nature, though they are not like
ly TO prove fatal. The brute seems to
have caught its victim just below the
elbow, and tore deep lump Of flesh
right down the forearm TO the wrist.
There is also deep cash in the palm
of the left hand, from which the hemor-
rhage is great. The patient lies in
great pain, and it is feared that he will
not recover the perfect use of his arm.
One of the keepers has also been Sc
verely injured. He was struck by one
of the elephants, and his ribs wete
smashed in. The man was taken to the
workhouse in helpless condition.

A Frightful Fall.

- An accident, which took place at Wa,
pello, Iowa, resulted in death, under
circumstances of unexampled horror.
Professor J. w. Bailey assembled
from the Fair grounds at that place in
a balloon inflated with hot air. The
mishap followed which so often occurs
with this specie of balloon. AS it left
the ground, the mouth of the bag was
seen to be on fire, but this was appar-
entity not observed by the aeronaut
until he had reached too great height
to drop with safety. Higher and higher
he assembled, clinging to horizontal
bar, which formed his sole support, and
which he had designed to make the
scene of the gymnastic tumblings and
turnings usual in such exhibitions. 1t
may well be conceived that his mind
during that awful flight was set upon
other things than acrobatic posturings (;
but no stretch of imagination can pic
ture the feelings of the doomed wretch
as he was thus waited helplessly and
hopelessly upward, further and further
away from life and safety, clinging, or
rather bound fast, as it were, to the
skirts of inevitable death. In most sit
uations of the sort there is q chance,
however slight and desperate, of event
ual escape. Here, from the very first
almost, there could have been none. To
the crowd below, watching in an agony
of apprehension for the final moment,
the contrast between the spangled and
tawdry splendor of the poor tumbleI
and his terrible fate must have been ex.
quisitely painful. One after another
the ropes that upheld the frail support
of the miserable man burned away, and
at last, when he was quarter of mile
high, he fell,-striking the ground will
such force that his body was driver
into it up to the knees. Of course h
was instantly killed, if, as one prefer
to hope, he was not already dead from
suffocation or terror before reaching
the earth.

Romance of a Young Man.

Not long ago, young man of Spring
field, Mass, had most favorable OPP
portunity to enter business house in
his State, at large increase over his
present salary, with prospect of soon
getting a place in the firm. His recon-
mendations were frst-class, and the
officers of the institution were decided
ly pleased with his appearance. They,
however, made him no proposals, nor
did they state their favorable impress
sions. A gentleman was requested to
ascertain where tho young man spent
his evenings, and what class of young
men were his associates. 1t was found
that he spent several nights of the week
in a billiard room, and on Sunday
afternoon drove hired span into the
country, with three other young bloods.
He is wondering why he didn't hear
from the house concerning that coveted
position,

LET US CONSIDER Since the intro

that alcohol, in all its forms, is permit
