Probably never before In the whole history or
medicine, has any thing won so widely and SO
deeply upon tho confidence of mankind, as this
excellent remedy FOR pulmonary Complaints.
Through n long series Of years, and among most
of the races of men Il has risen higher and higher
IN their estimation, 1t has become better known.
Its uniform character and power TO cure the va
riouS affections of the lungs and throat, have
made Il known as q reliable protector against
them. WHILE ADAPTED to tnilder forms of disease
and TO young children, it Is At the same time the
most efectual remedy that can be given for ineip
lent consumption, and the dangerous affections
of the throat and lungs. As a provision against
sudden attacks OF Group, 1t should be kept on
hand IN every family and indeed as all are some
times subject to colds and coughs, AL should be
provided with this antidote for them. ~.
Although settled COllStGnl ptfoIl is thought IN.
durable, still great numbers of cases where tho
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored TO sound health
by the CHERRY PeetOrHf. So complete is its
mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and
Throat that the most obstinate OF them yield TO it
When nothing else could reach them, under the

So generally are its virtues known, TINT We

Green Turtles.

A Florida correspondent of the Hart
ford Times writes Green turtles the
big fellows that abound at Key West
are also plenty all along the coast up to
Cedar Keys. 1t is hardly time yet to go
out for them but turtle fishing will in
May and June be quite a business with
one class of seafaring men. They are
caught in large and strong nets. The
nets are anchored at the bottom along
the channels of certain places among
the islands, and stretched across, often
for long distances, the position of the
net being shown by floats. Once en-
tangled in the net the turtle is helpless !;
all his clumsey struggles only get him
deeper and deeper into the net. I saw
one huge fellow slowly lift his back out
of the water, sink. and raise again off one
of the islands of Tampa Bay probably
he was not less than 200-pounder.
Turtles weighing 500 pounds are often
caught in the nets but the fishermen
tell me they prefer such as weigh only
so, IS, and 100 pounds, for the reason
that these sell more readily and bring q
higher price in proportion, the reason
beng that turtles are commonly pur-
chased whole, especially by the large
hotel proprietors in New York and else
where, and to buy one weighing over
100 pounds would be likely to involve a
considerable loss. For a 800 or 400
pound turtle the purchaser at Cedar
Keys pay only half price per pound.
The green turtle does not lay it's eggs
on the Florida shore, nor do the fisher
men know where it does lay. However,
l found turtles egg on the outer shore
of one of the lower islands. 1t might
have been the egg of a "loggerhead
This is the name given by the fishermen
to big sea turtle (not esteemed for
soup which does lay it's eggs on the
Florida coast, and which is much more
active and ugly than the true green
turtle unlike them it will almost always
break out of the net by biting through
the Htrong meshes. They will also in
fict ugly bites upon the hands of those
who try to hold or handle them. A
block of wood is thrust into the mon
ster's mouth for safety.
A two weeks fishing voyage will often
give the sailor boat-load of green tur
ties. During the season, which lasts
from the last of April to July or August,
he will make from 5000 to 800 by the
sale of these creatures at eight cents
pound.

tismaI scene which occurred in one of
the churches on last Sabbath. They
grew enthusiastic-as the ladies always
do-over the toilet of the different per-
sons who were Numbered among those
who received the solemn rites. One OF
them remarked "Mamie looked per-
fectIy splendid iii a magnificent mauve-
colored Dress" Mauve-colored p
calculated one of her companions !;
why, who ever heard of any one being
baptized in anything save white 2"
ooh, well," said the other, "white
will do we'll enough for some people,
but Mamie never expects to be baptized
but once, and she thought she would
get up something stylish. am sure
nobody has any right to complain at
such thing, when it probably will
happen but once in ones lifetime"
This may properly be called the ruling
passion strong in baptism, as a gentle
man remarked who heard the above
conversation. There is nothing like
going about things in stylish manner
in these latter days.

GrOnautic.

Lucy Hooper in one of her Paris
| letters, in speaking of the disastrous
ascent of the balloon Zenith I had
| quite an interesting conversation with
NJ. Tissandier, who, though sorely de-
pressed by the dreadful fate of his COM
rades, is IN Lo physical respect the
| worse for his perllOus expedition. A
| sensation of heaviness in the head and
| a general debility are the only effects
| remaining so far as his health is con-
| cerued. He is a quiet, modest gentle
man, and seemed rather oppressed by
the universal interest which his adven-
lures have excited. It Is reported he
is the only one of the three who ate
nothing before undertaking the ascen-
sion, but the secretary of the aerOnautic
society assured me that NJ. Spineli's
breakfast consisted merely of a cup of
soup, bit of bread, and glass of
light claret; SO that the question of
food had nothing to do with his fate.
NJ. Tissandier is not only the editor of
the scientific periodical entitled La
Nature, but he is a practical aeronaut,
he and his brother having been charged
with the task of managing the balloon
expresses that went to and from Paris
during the siege The aerOnautic So
ciety, which, as it's name indicates, is
devoted wholly to the investigation of
the question of aerial navigation, re-
ceives no support from the government,
but it has been acknowledged and is
now protected by the academy and the
institute. It is not very sumptuOusly
housed, its present quarters being
merely a back room in a house on the
Rue Lafayette. In this room are col
Iected together all sorts of queer ma
chimes, the most imposing of which is
an enormous construction, with wide,
bat like, Outspread wings, and won
derful cODglOmeratioD, IN the midst
wherein or whereon the passenger is
to sit to man9uver the wings aforesaid.
OF course the whole structure is fail
ure, but it is extremely ingenious. A
model of a fiying-machine which really
can and did and does fly was exhibited
to me. 1t looked not unlike dragon
fly on an exaggerated scale. The NC
tive power appeared to be thick chord,
formed of loose, separate flaments of
India rubber, which chord is to be
wound up or relaxed at pleasure by
means of key, and which thus moves
the wings of the machine. The secre-
tarY assured me that it could fly with
velocity of thirty feet per second.
AS THEY entered a dry goods store
yesterday you would have said that
love dwelt in both hearts aud that
dove of peace rested on every shingle
on the roof of their abiding place. She
saw lovely dress and she begged him
to buy, but he replied " can't dar-
ling, not before next week. Cant
you, dear, she smiled Well, l will
wait" They had hardly passed ont OF
the door before he said: "1d like to
see myself getting that dress ! " And she
answered You couldn't buy one
side of it. and if you could you are too
stiHgy and mean to do it !''-DetrOh
