poison of FEVER AND AGUE from the system,
and prevents the development of the disease. if
taken ON the first approach of its premonitory
symptoms. 1t is not only the best remedy ever
vet discovered for this class of complaints, but
also the cheapest The large quantity we sup
ply for a dollar brings it within the reach Of
everybody; and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, everybody should
have it, and use it freely both for cure and pro-
lection 1t is hoped this price will place it within

"CURE" eXpeis the poison from the blood, and
consequently cures them all alike. It is an in
valuable protection to immigrants and persons
travelling or temporarily residing in the mala-

while exposed to the infection, that will be ex.
GREETED from the system, and cannot accumulate
IN sufficient quantity to ripen into disease.
Hence it is even more valuable for protection
than cure; and few will ever suffer from Inter-

For Lirer Complaints, arising from torpid

ulating the Liver into healthy activity, and pro-
ducing many truly remarkable cures, where
other medicines fail.

George LaBar, born at Mount Beth
living at Spragueville, Monroe County,
in his 111th year. His hiographer, Mr..
4. 3. Burrell, has seen him several
times, and gives us the following par
ticulaIs: He has voted for every Pres
ident since Washington has voted the
Democratic ticket always. When he
was born there were 1000 900 people
in the United States that has grown
to 10000, 900 He has ten grand
children and eighty great-grand-
children. He has a son who had the
same number of grandchildren.
The following curious incidents are
taken from Mr.. Burrell's book 81 Mr..
La Bar has had fourteen children in all.
But If We throw away three sevenths
for deaths and casualties, we will have
four-seyenths, or eight of the fourteen,
left as producing members. He had
ten such, but we will make eight the
producing stock, and the result VIII

too high, but we should remember that
we have been counting for four genera
tions, where as there have been at least
five generations since the original
brothers went out from tier bachelor
cabin. Again, Georges eight produc-
ing children increased by ratio of
eight, and We have sixty-four grand
children: then throwing away
the three-sevenths, we have four
seyenths. or thirty seven. left,
Which increased again by our ratio
we have two hundred and ninety
six great grandchildren. Deduct

one-b half of the La Bar descendants
have many different names, comm

reaches into almost every family in
Mount Bethel and Monroe county, and
across the river into Warren county,

child was born IN 1871, and Is, there

at q to a girl of -. Their Oldest child
is now j6. This is Mr.. La Bars Oldest
grandchild. The only son and his
young wife are still living, having
raised a large family-so it seems to
be healthy for a girl to marry at thir-
teen. Their oldest child is less than
fifteen years younger than his moth

Different Kinds of Ewes,

No branch of science has been more
thoroughly mastered than optics. The
principle OF vision must be essentially
the same III all eyes, but they differ
remarkably, according to the habits of
the animal. Birds of lofty fight, as
the condor, eagles. yultures, and car
rion- seeking providers Of the feathered
race, have telescope vision. and thus
they are enabled to look down and dis
cover their uususpectlng victims. As
they approach noiselessly from above.
the axis of vision changes-shortening
so that they can see as distinctly with
IN one foot of the.ground as when at an
elevation of one mile in the air.
This fact explains the balancing OF
fisb-hawk on its pinions, half mile
above Il still pond watching for fish.
When one IS selected, down the savage
hunter plunges, the focal axis varying
always to to the square view of his in
tended pray. As they ascend, the axis
IS elongated by q curious muscular ar
rangemeDt, go as to see far off again.
Snails have their keen eyes at the ex-
tremity of flexible horns. which they

edge of leaf or stalk, they can see
how matters stand on the opposite
side.
The hammer-headed shark has its
wieked-looking eyes nearly two feet
apart. By viii effort they can bend
the thin edges Of the head, on which
the organs are located. so as to exam
inc the two sides of an object the size
of a full-sized co1fish.
Flies have immovable eyes. They
stand out from the head like half an
apple, exceedingly prominent. Instead
OF smooth hemispheres, they have an
immense number of facets, resembling
old-fashioned glass watch seals. each
one directing the light directly to the
optic retina, That explains Why they
cannot be approached in any direction
without seeing what is coming.
The Project of Versailles recently de-
clared that in the department of the
Seine-et Olse the mortality of infants
Is from 80 to 20 per cent. A large pro-
portion Of these children are habitual-
