Considerable excitement was occasioned

the venders of pseudo bitters, "entirely free
from alcohol" have raised a false cry against
tonic preparations containing spirits and no
doubt have frightened few sick folks into pur-
chasing the fermented rubbish which they SELL
and which is infinitely more injurious than the
vilest drams drunk at tavern bars But already
a tremendous reaction has set in against these
abominable nostrums, which, being devoid of
the alcoholic basis which alone prevents liquid

So long as Hostetter's Bitters continue to cure

ShnIkanenre nnd the Son.

Swinburne opens his papers, entitled
The three Stages Of Shakespeare" with
the subjoined fne passage.
The first Of living poets had drawn a
parallel of elaborate eloquence between
Shakespeare and the sea; and the like
ness holds good in many points of less
significance than those which have been
set down by the master-hand. For two
hundred years at least have students Of
every kind put forth in every sort of
boat on a longer or shorter voyage Of
research across the waters Of that un-
sounded sea. From the paltryest fish
ing-craft to such majestic galleys as
were steered by Coleridge and by Goethe,
each division of the feet has done or has
essayed its turn of work; some busted in
dredging along shore, some taking sur.
veys OF this or that gulf or headland,
some putting forth through shine and
shadow into the darkness OF the great
deep. Nor does it seem as If there
would sooner be an end to mems labor
on this than on the other sea. But here
a difference is perceptible. The materi
al ocean has been so far mastered by the
wisdom and the heroism Of man that we
may look for a time to come when the
mystery shall be manifest of its farthest
north and south, and men resolve the
secret of the uttermost parts of the sea /;
the poles, also, may find their Columbus
But the limits of that other ocean, the
laws Of its tides, the motive of its forces,
the mystery Of its unity, and the secret
of its change, no seafaFeF Of US all may
ever think thoroughly to know. No
wind-ga1ge win help US to the science of
its storms, no lead-line to sound for us
the depth Of its divine and terrible Sc.
renity. rr

Don't whisper in the sick-room.

If you arewell enough. af ina
When you are sitting up at night with
a patient, be sure to have something to
eat, if you wish to save yourself un-
necessary exhaustion.
Remember that sick people are not
necessarily idiotic or imbecile, and that
it is not always wise to try to persuade
them that their sutferiugs are imaginary.
They may even at times know best what
they need. b
Never deceive dying person unless

If you have sick friend to whom you
wish to be of use, do not content your
self with sending her flowers and jelly,
but lend her one Of your pictures to hang
in place of hers, or bronze to replace
the one at which sheis so tired of staring.
Don't have needless conversations
with the doctor outside of the sick room.
Nothing will excite and irritate a ner.

such conversations, don't tell the patient
that the doctor said nothing" he
won't believe you, and he will imagine
the worst possible,
In lifting the sick, do not take them
by the shoulders and drag them up on
the pillows, but get some one to help
you. Let enc stand on one side OF the
patient, the other opposite, then join
hands under the shoulders and hips, and
lift steadily and promptly together.
This method is easy for those who lift
and does not disturb the one who ia
lifted. -e
Do not imagine that your duty is over
when you have nursed your patient
through his illness, and he is about the
house, or perhaps going out again
Strength does not come back in mo
ment, and the days when little things
worry and little efforts exhaust, when
the cares of business begin to press, bul
the feeble brain and hand refuse to think

the nape of his neck q hideous tumor.
Dupuytren looked at it. you'll have to

priest, replacing his cravat "and am

Lateat from one psvn Fi,h.

Victor Hugo's devil fish is likely to be.
come generally known, not as creature
Of the novelist's imagination merely, but
as formidable reality. At the time the
Toilers of the Sea was published, the
devil fish, Of size large enough to be
dangerous, was little known, and the
monster in the tale was a novelty. Now
he is a novelty no longer, but what Man
talini would call dem'd moist, un-
pleasant subject" something to be
looked out for fishermen and divers.
Not long ago a monster cuttle-fsh was
captured off the coast of Newfoundland,
and now there comes a story from
Europe which would probably be thrill
ing enough had we ell the details. In
July diver in submarine armor, work
ing at wreck on the coast of Nor
mandy, found himself suddenly grasped
in q close embrace while at the bottom.
He had been seized by a devil fish,
which held fast to a neighboring rock.
A comrade came down, and he, too, was
grasped by the arms of the monster. 1t
was only with the greatest difficulty that
they could give the signal for further
aid. They succeeded, however, and 9th
ers went down armed, when, after des-
perate struggle, the arms of the cepha-
lopod were hewn from the body, and the
suffering men rescued 10 time to save
their lives. 1t was a narrow escape.

A Hint to the Lean.

The cause of leanness, when there is no
positive disease which produces it. is an i'm
perfect assimilation Of the food. The weight
Of the body undoubtedly bears a marked rela-
tion to. and increases proportionately to its
hight. when it is properly nourished with
hesh-making blood. Hence, whom we see a
tall person with "slab" slides and hollow
cheeks, we have right to infer that his blood
is thin and watery and his constitution deli
cate. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is peculiarly
serviceable to thin, delicate people, since II
strengthens the digestive and assimilative
organs, and is consequently a powerful aux
iliary in the blood manufacturing processes,
which in a state of health ought to be, and
are, thoroughly performed. An increase of
muscle, as well as fat, is result of using this
