A Contrast Worthy Public Attention.
What is the effect OF a drastic purgative upon the
constipated bowels and dyspeptic stomach? The
intestine is emptied violently as to weaken and
render it still more inactive, and the gastric juices
vitiated by contact with an indgestible medicin >,
lose the chemical qualities which constitute them
the only true solvents of the food. Results-aggra-
waited constipation and chronic Indigestion. What,
on the other hand, are the effects Of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters on the same organs. The bowels
areimoved but without violence, and at the same
time acquire heathful tone; the gastric secretions
are stimulated and improved and duly perform
their part in the processes which eventnate in the
nutrition OF every part Of the human structure.
Results-a regular habit Of body, sound digestion
and vigor, Let the public draw its own conclusions
from this contrast.

The Backward Habit of the japanese.

The Japanese habit Of reversing every
thing, If we may regard our own ways of
doing as the proper ways, is very curious
and in some of its details very interesting.
MIR. Griffis, in his work on Japan, dis
cusses it thus:
"Another man is planning. He pulls
the plane toward him. notice black
smith at work., He pulls the bellows with
his feet, while he is holding and hammer
ing with both hands. He has several
irons in the fire, and keeps his dinner pot
boiling with the waste fame. His whole
family, like the generations before him,
seem to all get their living in the hard
ware line The cooper holds his tub
with his toes. All of them sit down while
they work. How strange! Perhaps that
is an important difference between a
European and an Asiatic. One sits down to
his work, the other stands up to it. Why
IS It that we do things contrariwise to the
Japanese? Are we upside down, or they?
The japanese say that we are reversed.

The lines in our books cross the page like

way. Their locks thrust to the left, ours
to the right. The baby toys of the Aryan
race squeak when squeezed; the Turanian
gimcracks emit noise when pulled apart,
a Caucasian, to injure his enemy, kills
him; Japanese kills himself to spite his
foe. Which race is left.handed? Which
has the negative, which the positive of
truth? What is truth? What is down?

The Power of Music.

Miss Antoinette Sterling, the contralto,

Kingsley: She was visited by the Canon
at Eversley Vicarage, and, while there,

of the song which expresses the suspense

How to Cure a Bad Memory.

Your memory is bad, perhaps; but
can tell you two secrets that will cure the
worst memory. One is to read subject
when strongly interested. The other is,
to not only read, but think. When you
have read q paragraph or a page, stop,
close the book, and try to remember the
ideas on that page, and not only recall
them vaguely in your mind, but put
them into words and speak them out.
Faithfully follow these two rules, and
you have the golden keys of knowledge.
Besides inattentive reading, there are 9TH
er things injurious to memory. One is
the habit of skimming over newspapers,
items of news, smart remarks, bits of in
formation, political reflections, fashion
notes, all in a confused tumble, never to
be thought of again, thus diligently cult
waiting habit Of careless reading hard to
break. Another is the reading Of trashy
novels. Nothing is so fatal to reading
with profit as the habit of running through
story after story, and forgetting them as
soon as read. know gray haired wom-
an, a lifelong lover of books, who sadly
declares that her mind has been ruined bY
such reading.
A help to memory is repetition. Moth

fresh, and ready for use, as to have al.
ways on hand an interesting story in that
language, to take up for ten minutes every
day. In that case, you will not forget

The Owner of Seven Continuous
Farms.

The Middletown Pa) Journal says
that during the wheat and oat harvests
Col. James Young, of that town, employs
eighty hands; at other times not less than
forty two are constantly employed. With
this force and thirty-five mules. there
were cultivated this year 281 acres IN
wheat, 265 in corn, c276 in oats, sixteen in
potatoes, ten in tobacco and 200 in grass
In addition, these hands keep in excellent
repair and whitewash twenty-five miles of
fencing; keep in repair three of private
roadway and some ten miles of under
draining. - e@s
The farms in one continuous stretch are
seven in number-over one square mile
all neatly inclosed with post and rail fenc-
ing. The fences are whitewashed every
year, making them more durable as we'll
as adding greatly to their appearance. On
the farms are eight dwellings and seven
barns, all handsomely painted and kept IN
the best order. -
A few days ago Mr.. Young gave din
ner to the clergymen of Middletown and
their wives. During the day they were
given an opportunity of inspecting the
farms of Mr.. Young, teams having been
provided for their accommodation.

Paris in Summer.

The correspondent of the New York
Tribune finds Paris the most tolerable of
great cities in hot weather. He gives as
reason for Partisan comfort the fact that
Frenchmen live outdoors as much as pos
sible during heated term, while Ameri-
cans shut themselves up indoors, or sit
on stoop or curb-stone, as in New
York. He pictures all Paris dining on
the boulevards in lively description,
which makes us wish the fashion might
be introduced into American cities. He
admits that there are drawbacks to sum-
mer enjoyment in the brilliant Capital.
The asphalt has way of liquefying to
about the consistency and the temperature
of molten lava; the brilliant limestone of
which the city is built reflects the sun
with uncomfortable ferceness, and the in
ordinate amount of gas in all the thorough
fares heats and thickens the atmosphere,
and makes you feel on July night as if
you were in vast concert hall. But there
are hundred persuasions to invite you
out of doors. The boulevards are long
chain of cafes, each with little promon-
tory of chairs and tables projecting into
the sea of asphalt. You may dine in the
Champs Glysees at a table spread under
the trees, beside an ivied wall, and pay
more for your dinner, though it will not
be so good as at restaurant on the boule-
ward. You may indulge in cheap idyl
by taking short sail in a penny steamer
down the Seine to Auteuil, and dining in
a guingette on the bank of the stream,
where the table is spread under a trellis
that scratches your head, and fried fish is
the chief article on the bill of fare. Or
you may dine at the Bots de Boulogne, at
y trees petSrssquey GROUPED ,o rs
up with housekeeping horses and depos:
ting all sorts of ladies' The drive back
through the woods is charming, and the
air always cool, no matter how hot the city
is when you reach it. =
