wIsrAR's BA1sAM for Bronchitis. Com.


The human body is machine, and therefore can
not endure forever; but, like watch or a sewing
machine, twill last much longer if properly regu-
lated and duly repaired, than If 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 condition to resist the life
threatening influences by which we are all more or
less surroundedi and no invigorant or corrective
at present known so effectively answers this pur-
pose as the vitalizing elixir which, under the un-
tending name of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
has been for more 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 whore the soggy soil reeks with mtasma f;
the prairies and in the forests, Where every fall
the air is tainted with exhalations from rotting
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, dysentery, 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 the system In
advance with Hostetter's Bitters. Autumn is al
ways q season Of peril, especially to weak, suscept-
ible organizations. Even the more vigorous are
ant to be in some measure depressed by the humid
atmosphere, loaded with deleterious gases pro-
duced by vegetable decay. The fall is 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 Age of the Earth.

The new method of ascertaining the
age of the earth, which is present
topic in German scientific circles, at
tempts TO determine approximately the
time at which the fiery liquid earthball
for the first time covered itself with a
crust. This is done by means of the
difference of the longest and the shorest
diameter of the earth. According to
the calculations of Newton and Huy-
gems this would be in 1878, if the rota-
ton of the earth had always been COM
pleted in twenty-four hours, while, in
fact, it amounts to 1898, which is equiv
alent to a rotation time of seventeen
hours and sixteen minutes, which must
have once been the time of the earth S
rotation. 1t is, however, probable, for
reasons which need not be gone into,
that at the time the earth was covering
itself with q firm crust the time of rota-
ton was also a mean between the origi-
nal and the present time. That re-
tardation of the rotation of time has Ia
ken and is still taking place is now as
good as proved, although formerly it
was stl ongly doubted. Of all heavenly
bodies it is the moon whom astronomers
know best, and have most exactly calcu-
lated from her movements. Now, the
co-efficients of the secular acceleration
of the moons course, as found on the
one hand from the Oldest observations
of eclipses, on the other from the
theory, are at variance, and there are
differences which ought not to exist in
the calculations of so we'll observed q
body. Agreement can only be obtained
when it is supposed that during the
1000 years which have passed since the
Greeks first calculated the eclipses, the
rotation of the earth has been retarded
0.01197 seconds. There exists no diff.
Guilty about the causes of this retarda.
ton, which is perfectly well explained
by the tides. From the cipher thus
found, it is easily calculated how much
time will be required to cause retarda
ton of nearly four hours, and the re
suit is that since the firm crust of the
earth formed itself, more than 1000,
900, 900 of years must have elapsed.

4 Good Lesson.

If your boys revolt from study, give
them an opportunity to test the pleasure
of manual labor, and then let them fol-
low the occupation they prefer. In nine
cases out of ten, books will carry the
day. "When I was a boy" said the
elder Adams, "I had to study the Latin
grammar, but it was dull, and I hated
it. My father was anxious to send me
to college and, therefore, I studied
grammar till I could bear it no longer,
and going to my father, I told him 1
did not like study, and asked for some
other employment. 1t was opposing
his wishes, and he was quick in his
answer. well, John, if Latin gram
mar does not suit, you may try ditch
ing, perhaps that will. Ny meadow
needs ditch, and you may put Latin
by and try that. This seemed de-
lightful change, and to the meadow I
went. But 1 soon found ditching hard
er than Latin, and the first forenoon
was the longest I ever experienced.
That day I ate the bread of labor, and
glad was I when night came on. That
night 1 made some comparison between
Latin grammar and ditching, but said
not word about it. 1 dug the next
forenoon and wanted to return to Latin
at dinner, but it was humiliating, and
I could not do it, At night, toll con-
quered pride, and 1 told my father
one of the severest trials of my lite
that if chose, would go back to Latin
grammar. He was glad of it; and, if
1 have since gained any distinction, it
has been owing to the two days labor
in that abominable ditch"

Cholera in the East.
Severity Of the scOurge I'm the Capital OF
Slam.

Slam.
The Japan Mail, published at Yoko-
hama, reports as follows:
The following is an extract from a
private letter from Bangkok:
"Cholera is raging here. There is a
prison about 200 yards from my house,
exactly one-tenth of the prisoners in
which have died, and about one-third
have been or are sick. In the next gar
den to this the gardeners have been
decimated in fortnight. In our gar
den there have been but few cases, and
these have been reported to me at once,
and have been happily cured by lauda-
mum, chlorodyne and brandy in the first
stage, and camphor water and acetate
of lead as a second resort. The panic
has been wonderful. For one or two
days, at the worst time, the place SEEM
ed almost a city of the dead. Save the
boats of foreigners, one saw no craft
moving in the usually busy river. The
people seemed to have fled to their in
ner rooms, and one felt almost alone.
The great noblemen shut themselves
up: their slaves and retainers fled tC
the country; the courts were closed
the markets unattended. Even yester
day I sent my boy to buy rice. He
went the whole length of the chief mar
ket, market nearly mile and hal
long, and could not buy that first arti
Gle of food. The rice boats fed thu
pest-stricken city, and famine seems t.
threaten"

WHISKY AND THE WEED. Intelligent
psychologists and Psychologists admit
that all so-called medicines containing
alcohol-whether they emanate from the
regular pharmacopoeia and are called
tinctoreS, or from the Empirical Rum
Mills, and are labeled "Tonics are
essentially dangerous and destructive.
The only way in which drunkenness
can be arrested is by restoring the in
tegrity of the nerves Especially the
nerves of taste and the great sympathet-
ic nerve), Eand purifying the animal
fluids and these objects are more GER
tainly and swiftly accomplished by the
use of DIR. WALKERS VINEGAR BITTERs
than by any other means. Hence,
probably, the opinion now, so general,
ly expressed, that this pure preparation
is SOVEREIGN remedy for the evils re.
ferred to. Should it be clearly ascer.
tanned that VINEGAR BITrERs is not only
specific for indigestion, liver disease
nervousness, scrofulous ulcers an6
eruptions, and host of other dis
orders, but also for inebriety, thousands
will rise up and call the discovere,

Gypsy Lovers,

When young gypsy sees young
maiden of another tribe, he begins bus
mess by stolen glances. II not return
ed, unless possessed Of a bold heart, he
will relnquish the game but if, on
the contrary, he sees that they are not
IL accepted, he manages to waylay the
maiden, perhaps returning from a spring
with water poised gracefully on hef
head, and commences somewhat thus !:
Indeed have taken a great liking to
you, and would be q most happy man
if you would become my wife l will
be good and kind husband to you, and
will take care that you will be made
comfortable in your tent, and will not
want for fire in winter. Will you be
mine If the answer is favorable he
will doubtless tell her to try to meet him
again, or he will, If possible, circum-
vent her in another like manner, and
then their arrangements will be made
to take the first opportunity of escape
by an elopement. If they are neer q
city they will take cars and go to some
other point, but If in the country each
will take horse, and, like young Loeb
invar, gallop their steeds to place OF
security, and await until the storm OF
the indignant parents always those OF
the girD are blown over. But generally
the tantrums of the old man are terrific.
Woe be to any other child or animal
who crosses his path. He generally
burns and destroys all the effects of the
maiden, and forbids his family men,
tioning her name. But after his tenn,
per is cool, say in about q month OF
two, the Iepentant couple return, go on
their knees, beg his pardon, and are
forgiven. But if, on the contrary, the
maiden rejects the suit of her admirer
she goes home and tells her parents Of
him, and of his propositions, and ther
ensues a scene, as storm that beggar;
description. If there are any big bro
theirs on the scene it will generally re
suit in fair and square English fight
and after both being satisfied they
shake hands and take "smile," and
are as good friends as ever. In Eng
land once couple to my knowledge,
who had had several interviews pu
their project in execution one winter
night when the snow lay thick on tn,

cut the uppers of their shoes, reversed
the soles, and so escaped, their tracks

Education of Women.

Commenting upon the fact that not
one woman was saved on the fatal At
lantic, although many had the same
chance of life as the men, an exchange
says:-"The strength of women at the
crisis of their life depends on their ply
steal culture while children. Let pa
rents be no more ashamed of their girls
brown faces and fists than of their boys.
Let them train and clothe them so that
they can run and climb and care for and
protect themselves. Let them take
them with their brothers into the har-
vest field. A boy is not ashamed of
work; no more should be girl. The
refinement that shuts girl out of Gods
sunshine, and allows her no rougher
work indoors than to embroider wor-
steads, or tap ivory keys, or dust mar
BILE mantle, is refining her off of the face
of the earth to give place to the da,ugh-
tiers of the servants of the kitchen"

A Bearded Moman,s Passion.

h The death of the bearded woman,
says a Paris correspondent, is an
nounced. Her name was Jacqueline
Doublin. For the past year she has
been a. nightly visitor at the "Chate-
let" Each evening she attended the
theatre in the garb of man, always &C.
cupying the same seat She called
forth not little attention, her long
black hair and beard rendering her an
object of especial interest. About two
months ago she appeared in an elegant
woman''s attire, her face closely shaved.
notwithstanding the change of dress,
she was instantly recognized by the
gallery, and greeted in a conspicuous
but not satisfactory manner. From
that she was seen no more, and it was
soon rumored that she was i'll; also that
said illness was the result of violent
and hopeless love for the leading actor
of the Chatelet. On her death-bed the
unfortunate Jacqueline wrote a letter to
the Commissioner of Police acknow-
Lodging her passion, which the physi-
clans actually state was the cause of
her death.

What to do with Trouble.

Don't try to quench your sorrow in
rum or narcotics. If you begin this,
you must keep right on with it until it
leads you TO ruin; or you must add
physical pain and the consciousness of
degradation to the sorrow you seek to
escape. OF all wretchcd men his con-
dition is most pitiful who, having
sought to drown his grief in drink,
awakens from his debauch with shat
tered nerves, aching head and depressed
mind, to face the same trouble again.
That which at first was painful to con-
template will, after drink, seem unbear-
able. Ten to one the fatal drink will
be again and again sought until its vic
tim sinks hopeless, pitiful and total
wreck.
Work is the true remedy. If misfor-
tune hits you hard, hit you something
else hard-pitch into something with Q
will. There's nothing like good, solid
absorbing work to cure trouble. If you
have met with losses, you don't want tC
lie awake thinking of them. You wan
sweet, calm, sound sleep, and to ca
your dinner with appetite. But yor
can't unless you work. If you say yol
don't feel like work, and go loafng al
day to tell Tom, Dick and Harry tn
story of your woes, you'll lie awake an,
keep your wife awake by tossings, spoi
her temper and your own breakfast tn
next morning, and begin to-morro,
feeling ten times worse than you d
to-day.
There are some troubles that tim
only heals, and perhaps some that ca
never be healed at all, but all can b
helped by the panacea, work. Try il
you who are thus afflicted.

THE DISEASE AT SINGAPORE.

The Hiogo, Japan, NeaOS says:
Now that the cholera in a dangerous
form has reached Singapore, and the
seeds of it may chance to be brought
Northward by any vessel trading on
the China coast, we think it would not
be amiss if the government were to
issue some simple directions to all local
authorities as to the steps which should
be taken in case of any outbreak occur
ring. Though we have reason to doubt
the correctness of the rumors which
have been in circulation as to some
cases of cholera having occurred in a
town some forty-fve miles to the west
ward of this, there can be no doubt
that the reckless way in which filth is
allowed to collect and tester in the sun
in the drains of the native towns, to-
gether with the quantities of unripe
fruit which the Japanese seem to>de-
light to MUNICH, have between them
many deaths to answer for, and with
such surroundings an outbreak of an
epidemic need cause no surprise.

Novel Duck Hunting.

An ingenious Minnesota youth is to
be credited with novelty in the way of
duck hunting. He lives at beautiful
spot known as Rice Lake from the wild
rice growing on it's margin as thick as
wheat in field. Ducks love this rice,
and when they have partaken of sufi-
cient quantity their flesh becomes of a
nature to tempt the palate of an anchor
lite. But the Rice Lake ducks, either
from experience or an instinct which
may be said to be wisdom intensified,
do not like human company, and when
they see hunter approaching, gener-
ally hasten out of gun-shot range.
Dick, the youth before alluded to, was
particularly fond of ducks, and looked
with contempt upon the futile efforts of
his sire to provide the table with this
delicacy. He determined to have some
ducks for dinner, if it took all the
morning to accomplish the task. Pro
ceeding to the corn-feld, he selected q
large pumpkin, cut hole in one end,
removed its internal arrangements, car
ried it down to the shore, Invested him
self of his clothes, placed the pumpkin
over his head, and waded in among the
rice. In a short time the fat and tender
pioneer of flock of ducks approached,
and imagining the vegetable to be free
from guile, encouraged the others tc
follow. They were partaking of theil
matutinal meal, when establishment
struck them at the sight of the pioneer
suddenly diving that there is any
thing astonishing in duck diving-but
this one dived feet foremost and ne
elected to come up. A committee Of
one was appointed to investigate, and
approaching the pumpkin, suddenly
made backward dive, and was gone
This was enough for the others. They
fled in dismay, and henceforth mum
bered as among their deadliest terror'

land pies,

The CURSE OF THE FLowERY EMPIRE.
Opium seems to be the continuing
and increasing curse of China. DR..
Legge, who has been travelling from
Pekin to Shanghai, with a view to as
certaining the condition of the people
of Northern China, makes the melan-
choly report that the growth of opium
in that country is increasing at pro-
digious rate, to the exclusion of the
cultivation Of food. In one district,
large tracts of land were entirely COW
cred with peoples, and the doctor was
informed that the cultivation only be-
gan last year. Some land will yield q
profit by opium greater than that of
wheat by two, three, four, and even six
times. The Chinese PEASANTS love of
the debasing drug is attributed to his
being cited down to the soil of his own
district and shut out from intercourse
with his fellows by unjust regulations
