My wife has been troubled with Catarrh for
many years, and at times very badly. She
has thoroughly tried every supposed remedy
that we could hear Of, aud with all this she
has for several years been gradually growing
worse: and the discharge from the head was
excessive and very offensive.

was improving on the second bottle. Sho con-

The japanese Minister'S Wife:

The Japanese Minister and wife are
quite Conspicuous in Washington this
winter. He says the Japanese Embassy
has hitherto made itself very inconspic-
uous, and he intends raising 1t out OF the
depths of humility into which 1t has fall
en-. His wife is the tiniest piece of wo-
manhood in existence outside of the Lii
putian kingdom, perhaps, measuring only
four feet eight or nine inches. Her face
is not pretty at all, but her figure is round
and symmetrical, and her hands and feet
are marvels of iittleness. She attended
the reception given King Kalakua, in
the costume worn In her country by q
lady of rank, and of course the petite lady
was gaZed at and stared at and talked
at, till she ielt any thing but comforta'
bic. Her husband is desirous that she
should be clothed like les bellies ADaeri.
Gaines, and has engaged a modiste, Nine
Souie by name, to manufacture an outfit
for his lady fashionable and becoming.
The Madame speaks only Japanese.
and declares she can not and will not
learn English, whereupon her husband
understanding woman nature sufficiently
not to urge the point at present, receives
her guests with all the affability imagin'
able, speaking English with ease, while
he smiles and mods, and snuggles up to
imploring manner. One day her husband
came rushing down into the parlor in the
most excited manner, holding the untin
ished waist of one OF his wffe's dresses
aloft overhead. Running to one of the
ladies present, he exclaimed: "See, the
dresswoman has spoiled this waist
See, she has cut these crooked lines in il
pointing 10 the darts Come up, please
and tell her what to do. She is cutting
everything into ribbons, and all because
we are strangers and know no better.'
The lady comforted him by telling him
that the crooked lines we're necessary for
the proper fit of the waist, and the rib
bons were to be transfgured into beau
tiful founces, and that the dressmakel
was very reliable and knew what she
about. What will the little lady do when
all the mysteries OF a civilized woman's
toilet are displayed to her astonished
vision3

NEW STYLE IN HILLS.

The will OF the late Hon. Samuel r
Hersey, ex-member OF Congress, was
lately probated in Bangor, Me. His es.
tate is estimated at somewhere between
}500, 700 and s2,000,000.. The first article
gives his wife the income of $4,000 dur
ing her lifetime. This is notable. Eli
ther the widow did not deserve we'll of
her husband or else the Hon. Mr.. Hersey
was almost barbarian in his views OF
the character and dignity of woman.
Here is wealthy decedent whose for
tune is at least $l,OOO,ooO, and yet the
wife he leaves behind and the mother Of
his children IS dismissed from that for.
tune with an income OF about $4,000 dur
fng her life. Not a dollar is her own to
use as lady Of fortune unless she can
save something out of her parsimonions
allowance. Had both OF them agreed to
devote the whole estate to the public
good it would have been praiseworthy
In her to limit the amount at her private
disposal.
1t is true that $4,000 year is twice as
nuch as any single individual needs;
but that is not the view to take of this
case. 1t is to be judged according to
current principles. A man of Mr.. Her.
sey's wealth is expected to live at the
Yate Of from $500 to $4,000 year. 1t
IN not supposed that when either party
dies the other is to break up all the as
soeiations of home. Mrs. Hersey had
the right, in strict justice, to half the es.
tate in order that she might continue to
I've in the style to which she had been
accustomed.
But there are other interesting points

Ralsh Waldo Emerson, in o letter to
the Honorary President of the 1ndepend-
ent Club which nominated him for the
Lord Rectorship Of Glasgow University,
says: 81 count my vote OF 900 as quite
the iairest laurel that has ever fallen on
me, and can not but feel deeply CRATE
tul to my young friends in the Universe
ty, and to yourself who have been their
counselor and my too partial advocate.
OF course such an approach to success
gave ME lively thoughts of what could
have been attempted, and at least ap-
preached in meeting and dealing with
this University, if my friends had sue
ceeded; but L hope the stimulus they
have given me will not be wholly lost,
Probably have never seen one OF these
five hundred young men, and thus they
show us that our recorded thoughts give
the means of reaching those who think
with us in other countries, and make
closer alliances sometimes than lifelong
neighborhood. TO be sure the truth is
hackneyed, but 1T never came to me in
SO palpabie Il Iorm."

That scientific pursuits are conducive
to longevity is attested by the obituary
list read at the recent anniversary of the
Royal Society in London. The total num-
ber OF deaths from November 30, 1878, to
November 80, 1874, was fourteen. Ot
these, three were under seventy years
five, Sir w. Jardine, Sir j. r. Martin,
Professor j. Philips, Sir F. Smith, and
E. II. Stirling, were between seventy
and eighty; five between eighty and
ninety years; and one, Sir 6. Rose, nine
ty.four years. Looking at the list five,
we see, Sir John Rennie died at eighty
one, Professor II. Il. Grant at eighty-two,
Sir w. Eairbairn at eighty-three, and
DR.. Arnott and the Rev. j. W. Bellamy,
each ut eighty-six. These are remarka-
facts, suggestive of matter for conside-
ration. The present number of the So
ciety is 525, OF whom Sir Edward Sabine
is now the father. He was elected a
fellow In 1878, and is the last of the men
elected within the second decade OF the
country. OF fellows elected within the
period of 182O-29, there remain eighteen,
who now take rank as veterans. Among
them we remark the names Of Thomas
Ball, DR.. Bosworth, Sir John Davis, the
Duke of Devonshire, the Earl OF Ennis
killen. Earl Stanhope, the Dean Of Sails
buay, Sir j. G. 8. Lefevre, Sir G. Lyel1,

In this list OF veterans Sir j. Lefevre
takes precedence, having been elected
