progress had been made through lines
of eagerly staring and embarrassed ma
tives, the singing began. In Iceland
nothing is done without singing, and it
is the most attractive part of the cele-
bration thus far. The song was fol-
lowed by speeches from the rostrum,
chiefly greetingsto the people, winding
up with sentiments and cheers. Admit
raj Lagercrautz spoke for Sweden, Rolf
sen, the author, for Norway (and his
eloqueDce awoke a real enthusiasm,
and then various others followed, the
admirable male choir of Reikiavik in
terrupting the speeches with national
songs.
Soon afterwards the dances Logan ;
but as the national dance-if there ever
was any-is now lost, and waltz, polk
and quadrilla prevail here as elsewhere,
there was nothing picturesque in the
spectacle. Our Reikiavik acquaintan-
ces were all there, and the ladies, es-
pecialIy, were very lively and commu-
NEGATIVE; only the sharp wind from
Greenland's icy mountains, which blew
without ceasing, chilled our very mar
row. Before the "great flying fires
were let off, we found it prudent to re-
turn to the landing place and signal our
steamers boat.

Springing Out of Bed.

DR.. Hall does not approve of the old
doctrine which was formerly instilled
into the minds of children, that they
should spring out of bed the instant
they awake in the morning. He says
that up to eighteen years every child
should be allowed eight hours sleep,
but time should be allow to rest in bed,
after the sleep is over, until they fell
as if they had rather get up than not.
1t is a very great mistake for persons,
old or young-especiall children and
feeble or sedentary persons-to bounce
out of bed the moment they wake up !;
all our instincts shrink from it, and
freely kick against it. Fifteen or TWEEN
ty minutes spent in gradually waking
up, after the eyes are opened, and in
turning over and stretching the limbs,
do as much good as sound sleep, be-
cause the operations set the blood in
motion by degrees, tending to equalize
the circulation for during sleep tie
blood tends to stagnation, the heart
beats feebly and slowly, and to shock
the system by bouncing up in an instant
and sending the blood In overwhelming
quantities to the heart, causing it to
| assume a gallop, where the instant be
fore it was in creep, is the greatest
| absUrdity. This instantaneous bOunc.
ing out of bed as soon as the eyes are
open will be followed by WEAKNESS long
before noon"

The Comet and the German Vintage.

The news Just received from Germa-
ny seems to promise that the comet of
1874 will leave behind it in the wine
countries a pleasant memorial of its
visit. A correspondent writing from
Ehrenbreitstein states that the vintage
in the Rhine and MOselle districts, es-
pecially where the highest class of wines
are produced, is likely to compensate
for the disastrous years If 1869, 1870,
1871, 1872, and 1873 In the favored
spot known as the Rheingan no such
quantity has been recorded since the
celebrated comet year of 1911. At one
time it was apprehended that the early
May frOsts had, as in former years,
committed much damage among the
vines; but these fears have long been
dispelled, and there is now, we learn,
the fairest promise that the vintage of
1874 will be an exceptionally grand one
both in quantity and quality. Such
delicate little attentions to wine drink
ers on the part of these cratic heavenly
bodies are the more appreciated because
we are not always able to count upon
them. Since 1911 not by any means all
of the numerous comets which have ap-
peared in this country have been care
full to perpetUate their memories by
their handsome presents Of wine. The
comet of 1911, above referred to, and
Donati's comet of 1858, with the mag
nifcent claret vintage which followed
it, are perhaps the only two which can
be held in grateful remembrance for
their effects upon wine. On the other
hand, two famous years, 1929 and 1884,
produced their wines without any com
etary assistance, unless the near ap-
proach of a comet in one case and its re-
cent departure IN the other can be sup
posed to have exercised any influence
upon the vineyards. a comet was visi-
bic in December, 1923, and the year
1885 was the date Of the last appearance
of Halley's comet of 1682.-PaU Mall

An ACT OF JUSTICE. -DOubting Cas-
tie was a sad stumbling block in the
path of Bunyan's Christian, though il
couldn't bar his way to truth. We can
sympathize with the pilgrim, for doubt
always besets us when we are asked to
believe anything particularly extraor-
binary. Consequently, when we heard,
some eighteen months ago, that a ply
stefan in California had compounded,
from the juices and extracts of certain
herbs found there, a medicine that
cured almost every variety of blood dis
ease, we were incredulOus. Since then
we have had opportunities of testing
the accuracy of the report, and are free
to admit that our doubts have vanished.
Seeing what we have seen, knowing
what we know, it is impossible for us to
question the remedial properties of DR..
Walkers Vinegar Bitters. That this
antiseptic is a specific for dyspepsia,
liver complaint, chronic constipation,
fever and ague, bilious intermittents.
scrofulOus faint in the blood, incipient
consumption, local and general debility,
rheumatism, sick headache, and diseases
of the kidneys, seems to be a matter be-
yond the pale of controversy fUed
fact IN medical history. The state
ments of friends, in whose veracity and
intelligence we have full confidence,
corrobOrated by our own personal OBJ
servatIOn, compel as to admit the sur
passing merits of the preparation.

THE COTTON CROP.

It was looked upon as a healthy feat
IRE in March and April that the south
has reduced the area of cotton planting
10 per cent, and devoted the space and
labor to cereals which they so much
need. One great feature last year was
that the whole crop by at least 10 PEI
cent. was lost for want of picking
Hence a reduction of planting caused
no anxiety. The season, however, had
its first and great drawback IN being
three weeks late, and intense anxiety
was felt as to the probable injury of the
army and boil worm to the young, grow
ing crop. Fortunately, July passed,
and with very few unimportant excep-
tiOns the worms spared the growing
crops, although after complaints for
August are not wanting. However, up
to the middle of August an average crop
was fully expected. Unfortunately an
unprecej tented drouth set IN through
the whole south, and, although it may
be hoped that the accounts are much ex-
aggerated, yet there can be no doubt
but that the plant received an irrepara-
BILE injury, which Will curtaiI the Sec
Ond and third pickings to an immense
degree. During the week Just ended,
almost every house connected with the
southern trade has received doIeful
news, all in the same strain. The drouth
will curtail the yield immensely. The
unfortunate feature has for the time
paralyzed the southern trade, and much
depressed our prospects for at. least an
| early opening fall trade with the south
Southern men, who came here two
weeks ago to buy goods, have all at once
become very prudent buyers, while
| great houses, whose sales are made to
the south, have on their part become
| very prudent sellers.
