Dyspepsia.

Medicine never did and never can cure
dyspepsia; the true remedy is to eat less
and less at each meal until no discomfort
is felt afterward continue tins for q
short time, and then gradually increase
the amount eaten, as a convalescent
gradually increases exercise or labor III
proportion to the gradually increasing
strength; but as often as discomfort fol-
lows after eating-that is, any feeling or
sensation which attracts the attention IN
pleasantly--dim diminish the food TO the
equisite amount, as be fore stated. This
is the true key to the alienation and cure
of our national disease, dyspepsia.
While eating too much causes one case
of dyspepsia, eating too often causes a
hundred, If not ten thousand. Some of
the Indian trappers IN the Rocky Moan-
tains rise early, hunt all day for their
game, come TO camp at night, eat six or
seven pounds OF meat, lie down TO sleep,
and live hundred years. An old beau
in the Federal city, in Henry Clay time,
attended every party to which he was in
vited; but If, at any time, he was unex-
pectedly called after his regular meal, he
would go, help himself bountifully, but
would not eat anything next day, SO as
to average only one meal in twenty-four
hours. He lived beyond fourscore, a
lively, Joyous cold boy"
Greenland is not depopulated; yet the
Esquimaux eat once day, or week, or
more, five, ten, yes, twenty pounds of
provisions at single meal; and some
times, when they have strength to eat no
longer, some one puts the food in their
mouths for them. One man is reported
to have gone to sleep with part of sau-
sage hanging out of his mouth.
The place where the greatest number
of persons are cured of dyspepsia is in
the penitentiary; where they eat plenti-
fully, but not often; not "tit bits, not
the wing of a sucking dove," butplain,
nutritious food; no bitters, no tonics, no
liquor. This is most suggestive.
No child, no one, man or woman, is
well who comes TO the breakfast table
without an appetite. If this happens
only occasionally, it is ground for dis
quietude, and if habitual for young girls
1t is ground for alarm, because it is very
sure to be followed by cold feet, head
ache, chilliness, the forerunners of
troublesome ailments always, and some
times of incurable disease.
There can be but little doubt that the
dyspeptics of the nation would be dimin-
ished one-half in a few years if children
were not sent to school until seven years

Dances of the Olden Times.

There were dances of the court and
dances of the people. The Morris dance,
which seems TO have been an invention
of the Moors, had firmly established it.
self i'll England in the sixteenth century.
The country dance was even of earlier
date. The old ROUNDED or Roundelay
has been described by ancient authori-
ties rs an air appropriate to dancing, and
would indicate little more than circular
dance with the hands joined Among
the nobler and statelier dances in vogue
Mt the court of the Tudors were the
Pavan Crom pacO, peacock), with the
Galhard, n lighter measure, which was
probably TO the Pavan what In later
years the Gavotte was to the Minuet, the
Passamezzo, the Courant, and the Sara
band. Sir John Elyot, who published
in 1881 his book called the Governor, P"
wherein he AYERS that dancing by per
sons of both sexes is a mystical repre-
sentation Of matrimony, mentions other
dances, such as Bargenettes and Turg-
yons, concerning which no explanation
can be offered, except perhaps that the
former may be derived from Berger,
and be something of a shepherds s
dance.
Dancing, however, had degenerted ina
King Charles time. In his Tddie TAX,
Selden writes of the matter in very
quaint terms "The court in England
is much altered. At solemn dancing,
first you had the grave measures, then
the Corantos and the Galliards, and this
kept up with ceremony ; and at length
TO Trenchmore and the cushion dance;
then all the company dances, lord and
groom, lady and kitchen-maid, no dis
tinction. So III our court in Queen
Elizabeth's time gravity and state were
kept up. In King James time things
were pretty well. But in King Charles
time there has been nothing but
Trenchmore and the cushion dance,
OmniuH gdtherUDl, tolly polly, hoite
cum toite. The Trenchmore was q
lively dance, mention of which may be
found in the Pilgrim and Island
Princess of Beaumont and Fletcher,
and in the /" Rehearsal " of the Duke OF
Buckingham. The last editor of Sell
den, il may be noted, by altering the
word 10 =" French-more, has consider
ably obscured the authors meaning.
In former times men of the gravest
profession did not disdain to dance.
Even the Judges, in compliance with
ancient custom, long continued TO dance
annually on Caudlemas-day i'll the hail
of Sergeants' Inn, Chancery lane. Lin
coins Ipn, too, had its revels-fou III
each year-vith a master duly elected of
the society to direct the pastimes. Nor
were these " exercises of dancing" as
Dugdale calls them, merely tolerated ;
they were held to be " very necessary,
and much conducting to the making of
gentlemen more fit for their books at
other times" Indeed, it appears that,
by an order made IL James ]. S time, the
junior bar was severely dealt with for
declining TO dance "the under barris-
ters were by decimation put out of com
mons for examples sake, because the
whole bar offended 10y not dancing
on Candlemas-day preceding, according
to the ancient order of this society, when
the Judges were present with this, that
if the like fault were committed after

Revelations from the Polar World.

At Park City, iii Salt Lake Valley,
the other evening, the spirits of Sir
John Franklin and DIR. Kane, of arctic
fame, introduced themselves through a
medium named DIR. McNally. DIR. Kane
made the following extraordinary state
ment
"There is an open polar sea at the
North and n temperate zone beyond.
1t is a beautiful open country, exten-
sive and prolific, inhabited 10y race
of beings simple i'll their habits, yet
superior in mind and physique. The
earth is $50 miles longer than geogra-
piers have supposed, and solid at the
poles The sun never shines in the
northern land light and heat are pro-
duced by electric currents, caused by
the earth's revolution.
81 think there will eventually be
communication between the inhabited
portions of the earth now known and
this northern land, although the passage
is Il dangerous one, and the region is
] 200 miles further than any explorer
has vet reached.
When once there, very few would
leave that land for your temperate zone.
The proper passage TO this northern
land is by way of Behring's Straits,
sailing northeast.
"The contemplated British expedition
should choose the younger commander,
and start in the fall, us by spring they
would reach the most dangerous part OF
the passage. With proper management,
three years should be Iong enough to
make the round trip"

THE WAY TO WOO.

Don't be in too great a hurry;
Hurries never pay.
Take your time a wary general
Always feels his way.
Do not pull your line too quickly;
Rather give II play.
Take her sometimes TO a concert
Sometimes TO ball;
Sometimes spend pleasant evening"
Sonnet mes only call
Sometimes twill be far the wisest
Not to go at all
Do not meet your would-Le-rivals
With Jealous frown;
Show her that you don't care twopence
For any man in town.
Praise her other beaux then surely
She will run them down.
Send her presents-not too costly,
Tri1es light az air;
Dainty fruits to please her palate
Flowers for her hair
Something that will show you chose it
Fairest for the fair.
Vex her sometimes constant sunshine
IL SO very talne);
just little dash of water
Brightens up flame
Love that doesn't fiZZ and splutter
Isn't worth the namer
Then, at last, some quiet evening
(Moonlit nights are stale),
Drop into her cosy parlor,
Looking rather pale.
Strive TO hide your woe unuttered,
But be sure to fan.
Just hint n distant journey
As a secret half-confessed,
Darkly speak of hidden sorrow,
That forbids you rest;
Whisper that Ills hard 20 leave her,
But perhaps It's best.
Then if she should blush and tremble
With shy surprise
II there IL no roguish sparkle
Twinkling in her eyes
Then-then tell the old, old story
Told first meath Edens skies.

interviewing q Burglar.

Constant practice is improving our
burglar, and he really bids far to make
his mark some time in the profession OF
his choice. An odd job of his, recently,
was bit of fine art. He called casually
at the residence of Mrs. Nancy Poole,
just north of the Hooker school-house,
and after chatting pleasantly with the
inmates of the house and rummaging
around to his hearts content, took his
departure without doing any damage.
He did this because there wasn't any
thing valuable enough to lug off in the
house. He entered by cellar window,
and first went into the second story,
which was occupied by three boarders.
He entered the room of one of the men,
who, thinking that il was mate of his,
said, els that you, Bill 2" to which the
burglar pleasantly said, eyes" Then.
our burglar went down stairs, and taking
a box of letters, etc, from the bureau in
Mrs. POole's room, carried it into the
kitchen and looked it over leisurely by
his dark lantern. The lady heard him,
and supposing it was one of the boarders
who intended TO start off early. asked
what time it was, and the man replied,
"Three o'clock. He continued to
stumble around the room adjoining her
chamber until Mrs. Poole's suspicious
Were aroused, but he told her III answer
to her inquiries that he was Bill" He
then coolly went up to the room which
he had first entered, got a bunch of keys
from the pocket of some clothes on a
chair, opened chest, and examined It's
contents, looked in a valise and scrn-
tinized closet. The man in bed sug
gested to him, when he was about half
through, still thinking it was one Of the
other boarders, that the burglar had bet
ter light the lamp, which the visitant
did, and continued his search. Finally
he went down stairs in disgust at finding
nobody, and ont by the cellar which he,
entered. And the boarders know that H.

extensive but dilapidated public house,
heralded by lofty sign, bearing, in

A Free Horse nj Rest.

members of the church got him to give
500 toward securing n minister then they
wanted their religious notices inserted

helping 20 build a parsonage, and he
finally found he was giving the church

until one evening he went to prayer
meeting and was asked to leave his Office
for week and go and help clear the
grounds for camp-meeting. That was
the last straw, and ne arose up and said /:
Gentlemen. I'd like to go to heaven
with you. / know You all. You are
clever and obliging, and kind and tender,
and it would be nice for us all, rs a con
gregation, to go in together, but I've

peer or Grand Rapids. It's money,
money all the time, and I've given this
church until, if my wife should die, she'd
have TO go TO heaven barefooted."
The congregation seemed to realize that
free horse was being rode to death.
They let up on the editor, and pacified
him. He even had special tent assigned
at the camp-meeting, and all was well.

NOT STRANGE

cit is not strange that Drs. Darrin & MerrilI's
Rooms, at ~ Circle street, are each day.becom-
ing more thronged with patients. The reason Is
easily discerned. 1t is not only on account of
skill born OF knowledge, and cultivated by q
large and constant experience which gives them
almost an tntuitive perception OF the location
and nature OF the disease. but also by their care
full painstaklng in examination, which enables
them to give an opinion Of no little value, and
one on which their patients can rely. But es-
pecially commendatory is their candid dealing.
The people are beginning TO find out that hese
physicians are not afraid OF telling incurahle
cases the truth, and that when they say we can
help you, they mean just what they say. In
fact, IL is more common for patients under their
care to realize more than the promised Dement'S,
than otherwise. BY their system of advance
payments they are at liberty to devote them
selves entirely TO their professional duties; con-
sequently, one patient does not have 10 pay for
the collection of snother's account, nor for the
losses entailed by poor bills. They make no
charge for preliminary examination. Let all
who are afflicted give them a call. Sun.

supposed to have been on the tug which was TO
convey them from the quay at Bremen harbor
TO the steamer. A quay Is set apart exc usiveiy
for passenger luggage, and IL appears hat the
cases OF dynamite were about TO be shipped as
luggage. The passengers OF the Deutschland
who were rescued could not have been among
those who were injured, as they were not taken
to Bremen. The consul had telegraphed that
they won take the Mosel when she stopped at
Southampton, and should the Mosel sail
to-morrow they will be called for

Is permitted TO be used in the lamps for ilumi-
mating the saloons OF the steamers. A special
dispatch from Bremen says that the vessel was
at the pier taking on board passengers and their
baggage. The pier was crowded, as Ia usual, by
passengers, porters and stevedores assisting in
the departure Of the vessel. Suddenly the ex-
plosion occurred, scattering death and terror on
all sides. The hrst reports stalled that II was q
