market of the eastern world has been held
at this junction of the Volga and Olga
River, in Russia, every summer for humid
reds of years. Here the nations of Eu-
rope and Asia meet with their products
Tor trade. Cossack, Chinese, Turk and
Persian, meet the German and the Greek
with every variety of merchandise that
mankind employs, from sapphires to
grindstones, tea, opium, fur, food, tools
and fabrics, and last but not least, medi-
cines. j. c. Aver Co.'s celebrated rem.
edies from America were displayed in an
elegant bazaar where the Doctor himself
might sometimes be seen. They are known

the prairies of the West, and are an ettec-
tual antidote for the diseases that prevail
In the yaourts of the North, as well as the
huts and cabins of the western continent.

Tbc Medicine of Sunshine,

The world wants more sunshine in
its disposition, in its business, in its
charities, in its theology. For ten
thousand of the aches and pains and
irrations Of men and women we re
commend sunshine. 1t soothes better
than morphine. 1t Stimulates better
than champagne. 1t is the best plas
ter for a wound. The Good Samari-
tan poured out into the fallen travel
ers cash more of this than of oil.
Florence Nightingale used it on Cri-
mean battlefelds. Take it into all
the alleys, on board all the ships, by
all the sick beds. Not IL phiel full,
not cup full, not a decanter full, but
a soul full 1t is good for spleen, for
liver complaint. for neuralgia, for
rheumatism, for falling fortunes, for
melancholy, We suspect that Ileav-
Ell itself is only more sunshine.

in the mind of any one that would read

Besides using reason, he quoted the
opinion of number of orthodox com

''shall not" were words used by the
Jews not to things that could not. or

were possible; and only showing that
some things were more possible than
others: also that the words this world"
OF "world to come" did not apply in
any way to this and the future life
that they were from a Hebrew word
meaning age or time. In support of
these two points quoted passages given

Mention has already been made of

BuZzell of this place, for improvement
in circular saw mills. The improve
mrnts are in the dog" and ''lever-set."
for graduating the thickness of lumber.
BY this patent the dog" is set into and
removed from the log by an upright
shaft with screw cut in it. and worked
by a brake heel. The lever-set is also
worked by spiral horizontal shafts. The
advantages of these Improvements are
