Nature's Appeals for Help.

Every indication of debility and exhaustion is g mute appeal of Nature for medicinal aid to arrest the progress of decay. How are these silent ap peals of physical weakness to the resources of the healing art usually met Too of en- unfortunately
 the drugs prescribed aggravate the symptoms
 Whoever recommends drastic purgatives, or mineral salivants, or poisonous alkaloids, under such circumstances, is an ally of the ailment and an enemy of the patient. Whoever, on the con- trary, advises the broken down and despondinR sufferer to resort to that peerless invigo- rant, Hostetter's Stomach .Bitters, for aid and comfort, is true philanthropist It is safe to say that there never an instance in which such advise was given and accepted without the appi- est results. From the very depths of weakness and despondency thousands have been restored 10 vigor, health and cheeI Ifulness by the renovatiug operation of this wholesome stimulont and altera- tive. All its medicinal ingr ed ents remarkable for their sanative properties and in combination form an absolute specific for indigo ion hver com plaint, nervous affections, rheumatism, intermit- tent and remittent levers general and local weak ness, and every species of disorder incident to change of season or climate. The stimulative ele- ment of this invaluable protective and restorative Is not an impure excitant but the thoroughly rec tiied essence of sound rye admitted by all good chemists to be the most healthful of exhilarants.

An ArtlSt in Butter,

A Memphis paper has the following concerning an Arkansas woman who "sculps" in butter "Great numbers of people visited the office of MT. Littleton, on Madison street, yesterday, to see the wonderful work of the sculp- tors art wrought in frozen butter. There was never anything like it. An Arkansas housewife absolutely takes Q spoon and knife, and conforms the shape of butter to that of ones face and features, even preserving the ex- pression, as we'll as perfect accuracy of outline. Powers never surpassed this artist in butter, though he used Parian and Pentilican marble, in defining with perfect accuracy the outlines of human forms and faces.

A Brave Boy and a RObber.

A day or two ago Mir. Frank Mason, a farmer living in Hickory Grove Township, Iowa, left his home after breakfast for the harvest-feld, leaving at home 8 little son about thirteen years old, and daughter of about the same age. Not long after his father had left the boy happened to be short distance from the house, when a man jumped up out of the corn near by and approached the boy, saying that he wanted "that money in the house. 7" Young Mason told the ehighwayman that there was no money in the house, and that if there was he could not have it. The robber said he would kill him if he did not go and get the money; but the boy wouldn't scare worth 0 cent. He merely retreated to the house, called to his sister to hand him his gun, which she did. The boy raised the gun to @ proper position-that is, on the line with the robbers coat-tails. The fol- low meanwhile was running for dear life; but, nevertheless, not content with routing the enemy, the boy raised the hammer of the gun and fired right in the direction the robber was going. He was not wounded.

The Submarine Cables.

When submarine cables were first proposed much trouble was anticipated from the boring of marine animals through their external envelopes, and thus allowing the saltwater to penetrate to the wires. A cable would also in time become covered with adherent mollusks and similar objects, which would be likely to attract fishes and other animals, the teeth of which might produce serious mechanical injuries, Although such results have not follow ed to so great an extent as was feared, experience has shown that these appre- tensions were we'll founded. The Florida cable, for instance, is thought to have received serious injury from turtles nibbling at the sea-weeds, etc, incrusting it; and now we learn from Land and Water that on one occasion the cable between Penang and Singa pore became defective, and, when ta- ken up, was found to have been prefor- ated by the teeth of saw-fsh, which tore away the coverings, and laid bare the conducting wire.

His Own Language Forgotten.

The Japanese youths who have gone to learn the customs and languages of foreign nations are in great danger of forfeiting their own. An instance is recorded in Yokohama where young Japanese who left his native country about eleven years ago, was examined bythe French professors of the Kal Sc Gakko, an d though they pronounced his conversational powers and pronuncia. ton better than any pupil in the col lege, he was una ble to answer questions in the various branches of study, such as are commonplace in the lowest class. The young man had utterly forgotten his own language. The young mans prospects as Japanese are not very brilliant. He cannot even become an interpreter, but must sit down to learn Japanese as new language.

Advertising.

Those who affect to believe there is little use in advertising urge as an objection that the advertisements are not read. They can easily be convinced of their error in this respect by making inquiry. Let them insert an advertise, ment offering to purchase some article that is tolerably plenty in the market. and they will be flooded with offers to sell before the ink of the advertise. ment ei is dry. Even an enterprisine weekly that has circulation of one two or three thousand copies is in the position to do the village merchant great good.
