To all, particularly invalids, spring is trying
season indications of sickness should at once
be attended to. Fatal diseases may be caused by
allowing the bowels to become constipated, and
the system to remain in disordered condition,
until the disorder has time to develop ITSELF An
ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure is
an old and truthful saying. Therefore, we advise
all who are troubled with the complaints now
very prevalent-headache, indigestion, disordered
liver, want of appetite nausea, or feverish skin,
to take, without delay, Schenck's Mandrake Pills
We know of no remedy so harmless and decisive
in its action. 1t at strikes at the root of the
disease and produces healthy tone to the sys-
tenn. People never need suffer from any disease
arising from a disordered condition of the liver
if they would take this excellent medicine when
they feel the first indications of the malady.
Families leaving home for the summer months
should take three or four boxes of these pills
with them They have an almost instantaneous
effect They will relieve the patient of headache
in one or two hours, and will rapidly cleanse the
liver of surrounding bile, and will effectualIy
prevent bilious attack. They are sold by ali
druggists

The Temple at Jerusalem.


1t is probably no exaggeration to say
that more has been written regarding
the Temple at Jerusalem than in
respect to any other building in the
known world, and unfortunately, it
may be added, more that is wild and
utterly untenable This last peculiar
ity arises from several causes. First
because all the earlier restorers were
entirely ignorant of the ground on
which the Temple stood, and of the
local circumstances that governed its
construction; it was not, indeed, till the
spot was surveyed by the late Mr..
Catherwood in 1888, and his plan pub
llshed on sufficient scale in 1862, that
restorers had such map of the ground
as would enable them to adjust their
measurements to the locality with any
thing like certainty. Though that plan
was wonderfully perfect considering
the circumstances under which it was
made, it has since been superseded by
that made under the direction of Capt.
NOW Major Wilson, r. E., in 1S64-5,
which leaves nothing to be desired in
this respect. 1t can be depended upon
almost to inches, and has been en-
graved on a scale sufficiently large for
all typographical, if not quite for all
architectural purposes. Ascend cause
of the wildness of the reservations hith-
erto attempted was that the Temple Of
Jerusalem was quite unique. Not only
had the Jews only this one temple, but,
so far as we know, it was entirely of
their own invention and utterly unlike
the temples of any nations around
them. 1t certainly, at all events, was
quite unlike the temples Of the Egyp-
tians or Greeks. 1t may have had
affinities with those Of the Babylonians
or Assyrians; but, Notwithstanding all
that has been done of late years, we
know so very little Of what the temples
of Mesopotomania were, that these
hardly help us even at this day, and
the assumption that this might be so
was of no use whatever to earlier re-
storers. Having thus no analogies to
guide them, and as it is literally and
absolutely true that not one stone re-
mains on another of the Temple, prop
erly so called, it is not to be wondered
at that early restorers failed to realize
the truth, and INDUCED in fancies
which were utterly untenable. In nine
cases out of ten their object was to pro-
duce building which would be worthy
of Solomon in all his glory, rather than
a sober reproduction of the very mod
crate building described in the Bible

To CAN SWEET CORN.-Very many
fail IN their attempts to can green corn
for winter use. The following is one Of
the best methods which we take from
the American Grocer, and we advise all
who wish to can corn to preserve these
directions:
The corn should be picked when just
milk ripe. After husking the kernels
are cut from the cob with a gagged
knife and the cob scraped to get all the
juices. Next it is placed in tin cans
without admiXture Though sometimes
little sugar is added to poor corn and
sealed up alright. Then comes the
processing" or boiling, viz: subiecting
the can and contents to the heat of boil
ing water from one to two hours, ac-
cording to the size of the can. This can
only be determined by experiment.
Next they are taken from the boiling
water and small hole punched in the
top of the can to allow the escape Of
the gasses and instantly released, after
which the can is replaced in the hot
bath and allowed to remain as long or
onger than at first.
