d" All Run Down.

This is an expression that we hear from
doctors when they are in doubt abOu
the nature of the disease of their patients
The country seems to be filed with sucl
cases, and they are trying first one remedy
and then another, hoping in vain to fine
relief They generally have the following
symptoms: a general depression Of spirits
with evil fOrebodings, a whirling sensation
in the head when rising up suddenly, fou
breath, with a bad taste in the mouth
especially in the morning, pain in the sides
and back, urine scanty and high colured
frequently voided with difficulty, frequent
headaches, a distressed feeling at the pit OF
the stomach, food afTording no nourishment
The patient feels tired all the while, and
sleep affords but little rest. After time a
dry, hacking cough sets in, followed after u
t me with eYpcctOrltiOn, hands and feet cold
and ciammy at times, general wasting OF
the body. In such cases we need a remedy
that will act upon the liver, kidneys, stomach
and blood at the same time, and when we
use such a remedy it affords relief. The
best article for this purpose is the SHAKER

customer, and hauling in about seven
feet of the slack between the shoulders,
had just advised him that it fitted him

served that his customer was softly
shifting to the right and left, as if he
suspected that the garment was odorous
as well as old. 1t was an occasion that
wanted prompt and decided action. and
the clothier was fully equal to the emer-
gency, for, with candor and Conviction
wholly unmixed with bashfulness, he

How Monkeys are Captured.

How are monkeys caught? The ape
famil y resembles man. Their vices are
human. They love liquor, and fall. In
Darfour and Senior, the natives make a
fermented beer, of which the monkeys
are passionately fond. Aware of this,
the natives go to the parts of the forest
frequented by the monkeys, and set on
the ground calabasheS full of the entic-
ing liquor. As soon as the monkey sees
and tastes it, he utters loud cries of ioy,
that soon attract his comrades. Then
an orgie begins, and then in short
time they show all degrees of intoxica-
ton. Then the negroes appear. The
few that came too late to get fuddled
escape. The drinkers are too far gone
to distrust the negroes, but apparently
take them for larger species of their
own genus. The negroes take some
up, and these begin to weep and cover
them with maudlin kisses. When a ne
gro takes one by the hand to lead him
off, the nearest monkey will cling to the
one who thus finds support, and en-
deavor to go on also. Another will
grasp at him, and so on until the negro
leads staggering line of ten or a dozen
tipsy monkeys. When finally brought
to the village, they are securely Gagged
and gradually sobered down; but for
two or three days gradually diminish
ing supply of liquor is given them, so as
to reconcile them by degrees to their
state of captivity.

On the I'd of August smoke was seen
rising from the Goals forming the cargo
of the bark Aurelie, bound from Liver
pool for La Plata, and on an iron test
rod being put between it came I'D red
hot. The matches were battened down
and water poured in, but unvailingly.
The fire burned seven days, during
which the crew, fourteen in number,
and the Captains wife, were on the
deck, with scanty provisions, amid
sitting smoke. At length they had to
take to their two boats, and then COM
menced five long days and nights of
sleeplessness and starvation. The burn
ing sun by day and rain aud cold by
night made endurance well-nigh impos-
sible. To add to the horrors While thus
exposed, the Captains wife gave birth
to child. At length, when at the last
extremity, the two boats, which had
kept together, were seen and picked ND
by the ship Moonlight and taken to Bar

Two Requisites for House Plants.

One of our lady readers, remarkably
successful with her house plants in the
winter season, gives us two points in
their management. Every gardener and
florist knows the value of what is called
" bottom heat" A warm atmosphere
especially if dry one-is often insult
ticient to bring about healthy growth.
and is sometimes injurious. What is
wanted for many kinds of plants and
flowers, is moist heat at the roots and
tibers, where growth early starts, and
from which the stimulus is conveyed
to every other part of the plant. A
| thrifty growth below the ground is sure
to be followed by fruit and flowers
above
Our lady friend accomplished this by
filling the saucers of the fower-pots
ruth hot sCGter. This is, of course, alb
sorbed and carried up to the roots and
tibers, giving the required bottom heat.
Unthrifty plants, in addition to this, she
places on the mantel piece over the
kitchen range; keeping them, of course,
well watered. 1t supplies heat where
1t is most wanted-at the roots and the
benefit is marked. In warm rooms the
higher temperature is at the top, and
the coolest near the floor where the pots
are. This reverses the proper order,
giving the roots of plant the coolest
place.
Another important matter in house
plants is to give them the morning sun.
Windows where flowers are kept should,
therefore, face the east. The reasons
are not known, perhaps, but the fact is
patent to all whose business it is to de-
velop healthy growth in plants and
flowers, that an hour of morning sun is
worth three hours of afternoon sun.
Every one observes this, and it may be
owing to some increased electrical action
at that time.-PracticGl Farmer.

These remedies certain cure for Consump-

the liver create healthy bile, and remove all dis
eases OF the liver, often cause of Consumption.

THE DELAWARE ICEGORGE.

Saturday, says: The engineers engaged

first hummock below the great terminal
wall of ice.pack proper. They found
the ice there twelve feet thick and as
solid as cemented masonary. To shatter
this obstruction an extraordinary charge
of nitro gycerine was used. 1t weighed
twenty pounds and was lowered into n
hole drilled in the centre of the glacial
mound aud ridge. The explosion was
terrific. Great blocks of ice were thrown
distance of over 100 yards to the
Pennsylvania shore, while column of
broken ice and water shot up into the
air 200 feet, and fell back upon the
ground and ice with noise like thun-
der. The ice for a great distance
around was rent and shlvered to pieces,
ard great seams running in all dircc-
tions marked the course OF the concus-
sion and its mighty force. 1t was
found however. that beneath this mass
Of ice the water in the river had no de-
cided channel but was scattered and
shallow not being OF sufficient body to
carry off the derbris, and the blast was
not attended with that beneficial result
1t would otherwise have beeu. The
blasting ceased this afternoon, as the
supply of nitro glycerine is exhausted.
MIR. ID. d. Graham, who has immediate
charge of the explosive, went to New
York this afternoon for another lot as
the operations are to be continued until
the ice is looscned up TO the arch OF the
dam, and directly upon the gorge if it
is then thought advisable.
Mr.. Il. A. Cheeseboro, of New York,
has donated twenty barrels of naphtha,
to be used in experimenting on the ice.
1t will probably arrive here today.
1t showed until noon to-day, and
there was slight fall of rain this after
noon, aud there is now prospect of a
heavy storm. The river shows no indi-
cation Of rising at this point, but reports
from above are to the effect that the
streams are gradually lising.

Every year increases the popularity
Of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
It removes all eruptions and dandruff,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
By its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In badness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create new growth, except
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair splendid, glossy ap-
pearance. A. A. Hayes, MD, State
Assayer of Massachusetts, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and l
