The Plague of Rabbits.

Some years ago colonist, with the
idea of benefting New Zealand, took
out few pairs of rabbits, and turned
them out in the country, forgetting how
quickly these animals multiply. and
what little means there are in a land so
thinly populated OF keeping them in
check. The consequence is that farms
are devastated, crops are destroyed and
the earth overrun with increasing
swarms of these destructive rodents.
and all the efforts of the colonists have
been futile to keep down their mum
bers.
AT last happy idea struck some per-
sons who had suffered from this curious
plague; they determined to importsome
weasels, thinking that by their help
they would be able to accomplish tho
desired end; and they have offered as
much as $25 pair for healthy weasels.
Weasels, however, object to anything
like confinement, and as they would
probably die on the voyage out, Mr..
Buckland, to whose care the experiment
has been confded, has determined to
send out some polecat ferrets, which he
imagines will be even more valuable
farmers friends.

The HOusekeeper of our Health,

The liver is the great depuratiug or blood
cleansing organ of the system. Set the great
housekeeper of our health at work, and the
foul cor,uptions which gender in the blood
and rot out, as it were, the machinery Of life,
are gradually expelled from the system. For
this purpose DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
eovery with small daily doses of DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgative Pellets, are pre- .eminentlv
the articles needed, They cure every kind of
humor from the worst scrofula to the common
plmple, blotch or eruption. Great eating ulcers
kindly heal under their mighty curative in
huence. Virulent blood poisons that lurk in
the system are by them robbed of their terrors
and by their persevering and somewhat pro-
tracted use the most tainted system NAV be
completely renovated and built up anew. En-
larged glands tumors and swellings dwindle
away and disappear under the influence of their
great resolvents. Sold by all dealers in medi-
cines.
Claude, child about three years old, was
greatly afflicted with sores on his legs and
feet, 80 that he could not wear his shoes and
stockings. Had great deal of trouble with
him. Had tried many remedies Intellectually.
At last we tried the Golden Medical Discovery,
and in about three weeks he was entirely
cured, his sores were all healed, and health
much improved. Respectfully yours,

w bite Suits.

White suits, says fashion journal,
though seldom seen on the street this
season, are as popular as ever at the wa
tering places and for house dresses.

used; pique has lost favor, except for
morning wrappers. The simplest suits
&c made with sacks shaped by darts,
long round overskirts and demi-trains.
They are trimmed with tucked ruffles or
embroidered founces, headed by clus-

trimmed with duchesse lace and fine
needlework. The Spanish fioun,e on
the lower skirt is cut in points and filed
in with duchesse lace. The long upper

Somebody Blundered.

An English baronet, Sir Simeon Henry
Stuart, wrote letter to his daughter
and another to Miss Blanchford, and by
mistake misdirected the envelope. Con-
sequently the daughter received and
handed to her mother missive contain
ing such passages as this: "My own
darling was so pleased to see you
last night. How good of you to come
over! L do love having you here, dear
est. 1t seems SO nice when I wake ND
to be able to say to myself Il shall see
my darling to-day What shall 1 do
when you are gone, dear? You will
come to me again, and soon." Sir
Simeon, upon discovering his blunder,
ttelegraphed to his daughter to burn the
letter, but he was too late, and is now
being used in divorce suit.
