of the delicate and intricate structure of the
human system nor of Chemistry and the sci

has been obtained or asked for upon it. 1t Is
not a secret medicine, the chief ingredient

Some curious examples of fossil eggs

of the mo ( remarkable being a specimen
found In the guano deposits Of the Isles
Chinchas, alta depth of some 40feet. 1t is
described as being Of about the size of a
goose's egg, and weighing two and one
half ounces. Its texture is crystalline.
but the sill Y briiiiancy of the fracture was
lost on its exposure to the air. This egg
was truly metamorphic-cha
it contained scarcely anything Of its origi-

sulphate of ammonia, 26.55 chloride of

that it contained no lime or phosphoric

Desperate Encounter with Burglars.

Max Adeler saws: | have before men
toned the fact that it is common practice
in Philadelphia to build thirty or forty
houses, all precisely alike, in a row, so
that man who lives in the middle has to
begin at the corner and count in order to
tell when he reaches his residence. NV
friend Partridge, who occupies one of
these houses, has been spending the sum-
mer in the country, his residence being
closed in the meantime. A few nights
ago he happened TO be in town, and pass
ing by his dwelling he saw lights in the
second story. He knew at once that bur
glars were engaged in routing out his val
uables, and he instantly flew to the police
station and obtained a squad of policemen
to capture them. Two officers were sent
around into the back yard, and the others
pried open the front window shutter, and
together with Partridge. entered the par
lOr softly with the intention to surprise
the burglars. The parlOr and hall were
dark, and the squad proceeded quietly up
stairs, feeling that they had everything in
their own hands. Just as they reached
the first landing they met one of the bur
glars coming down in the darkness. They
grabbed him, and as he yelled good deal
they knocked him on the head few times,
and after manacling him, laid him out in
the entry. Proceeding to the front room
they broke the door open and found no
body there but a woman who was scared
half to death. The officers were about to
seize her when Partridge came in and re-
cOgniZed her as Mrs. Kellogg, the wife of
the man who lives two doors below him.
In fact it was Kellogg's house and Kellogg
was living below in the entry with chains
on his legs and lump as big as an egg
plant on his head, and mad, besides. Par
fridge house was as safe as ever. Then
the policemen swOre some and went home,
and Partridge remained to soothe the kel
loggs. 1t cost him 500 in cash, and even
then they were down on him. He is 60
inc to move. He wants to find pink
house with green cupOla, in the center
of a thirty-acre field. He wants a con-
spicuOus house that he can recognize AZ

AN ACT OF JUsTICE.-Doubting Castle
was sad stumbling block in the path OF
Bunyan's Christian, though it couldn't bar
the way to Truth. We can synpathiZe
with the Pilgrim, for Doubt always besetS
us when we are asked to believe anything
particularly extraordinary. Consequent
", when we heard, some eighteen months
ago, that physician in CalifOrn MIA had COM
pounded, from the juice and extracts Of
certain herbs found there, 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 adj
init that our doubts have vanished. See
ing what we have seen, knowing what We
know, it is impossible for us TO question
the remedial properties of DR. WALKER S
VINEGAR BITTERs. That this famous veg
etable Tonic, Alternative, and Antiseptic is
a specific for DYSPEPSIA, Liver Complaint,
Chronic Constipation, Fever and Aguc,
Bilious Intermittents, ScrOfulous faint in
the Blood, Incipient Consumption, Local
and General Debility, Rheumatism, Sick
Headache, and Diseases of the Kidneys,
seems to be matter beyond the pale of
controversy-a fred fact IN medical his
torn. The statements of friends, in whose
veracity and intelligence we have full con-
fidence, cOrrOborajed by our own personal
observation. compel us to admit the sur
passing merits of the preparation.

A YOUNG and stylishly dressed colored
woman lately entered the Tivoli Gardens
in Chicago and ordered glass of beer,
which was denied her on account of her
dusky complexion. The next day bill
was filed in the Circuit Clerks office,
which set forth in legal parlance that plain
tiff was not a negro, but L Mexican, di-
rect lineal descendant of the Montezumas,
and possibly heir to throne, and that she
was damaged by the refusal of glass of
beer to the amount of $4,000, which she
claimed at the hands of her attorney in the
August term of the Circuit Court.

The Druggist, London paper, states
that young lady who had long been adj
dicted to the use of opium applied to an
eminent physician to make hypodermic
injections of morphine. Beginning by in
jecting a mixture of morphine and water
he gradually increased the proportion of
water without letting the patient know of
it, until after a short time he used only the
pure water. After each injection she
would gently fall into a refreshing sleep.
For several months the treatment was
continued, the patients system being
gradually renovated by tones. At length
the lady was informed that for months she
had not been under the influence of opium
at all, and was greatly rejOiced to find her
self cured of any desire for the drug.

1T is a generally supposed article of be-
lief that the great lakes are, to a small eX-
tent, influenced by lunar attraction. An
Did lake navigator, whose experience dates
pack to 1918, and whose knowledge Is of
the most practical kind, claims that tidal
waves, or GIBBS and flows, do not, or never
did, occur on fresh waters. A heavy
swell may reach a point of sufficient force
to cause damage in some way, the origin
of which was from the force of winds from
an extreme opposite quarter, and usually
in due time followed by the sea. OBJ
servations carried out by the United States
Lake Survey also tend to prove that the
lakes have no tides.
