DIR. SCHENCK's PULMoNIc SYRUP, SEA
WEED Tonic AND MANDRAKE Pills.
These medicines have undoubtedly per.
formed more cures Of Consumption than
any other remedy known to the Ameri-
can public. They are compounded of
vegetable ingredients, and contain no
thing which can be injurious to the hu-
man constitution. Other remedies ad-
vertised as cures for Consumption, pro-
badly contain opium, which Is q some
what dangerous drug in all cases, and if
taken freely by consumptive patients,
it must do great injury; for its tendency
is to confine the morbid matter In the
system, which, Of course, must make q
cure impossible. Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup Il warranted not to contain o
particle Of opium: 1t Is composed of
powerful but harmless herbs, which act
on the lungs, liver, stomach and blood,
and thus correct all morbid secretions,
and expel all the diseased matter from
the body. These are the only means by
which Consumption can be cured, and
as Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the only
medicines which operate In this way, It
Is obvi0us they are the only genuine
cure for Pulmonary Consumption. Each
bottle Of this invaluable medicine is &C
companied by full directions. DIR.
Schenck Is professionally at his princi-
pal office, corner Sixth and Arch Sts.,
Philadelphia, every Monday, where ali
letters for advice must be addressed.

Modern TelegFaphy.

The improvements i'm telegraphy,
about which the public has lately been
learning a good zeal through the news
papers, really constitute remarkable
element of progress, and are deserving
of separate consideration. With the
fire-alarm, domestic, and district tele-
graphs in our cities, the reduced rates
and increased efficiency Of the great
lines and the further improvements
promised us, it does not seem too much
to expect that the telegraph will soon
rival the post-office and the press as a
bearer and diffuser of intelligence.
The failure Of the English postal tele-
of its advocates will hardly be held to
initiate against this view, when 1t shall
be shown what the nature OF these inn
provements Is. Prof. JeyOns, in late
number of the Fortnightly Rerie,c, has
indicated the causes of this failure. 1t
was taken for granted by the promoters
of the scheme, he asserts, that, as in the
case of the Post-office, a vast increase of
business might be done with but little
more expense. Accordingly, to gain
the increased business they reduced the
rates one half, and succeeded-but not
in a pecuniary sense. Prof. Jevons
ascribes this disappointing result to the
great cost of erecting and maintaining
the lines; to their small carrying capac-
ity when compared with that of rail-
rOad-train; and to the number of hands
and heads which each telegraphic mes
sage has to pass through before reach
ing its destination, and which must all
be paid. But the progress of the last
five years, made principally in this
country, has demonstrated that these
difficulties are not insuperable.

Foolish fear doubles danger.

On the Light Absorbed BY the Atmos-
phere of the Sun.-Prof. Pickering, as
sisted by his student, Mr.. Strange, has
made series of experiments for the
purpose of determining the relative
amount of light received from portions
of the suns surface at varying distan-
ces from the center of his disk. He
sums up the results as follows: The
light of the various parts of the suns
disk is measured by the modification
of the Bunsen phOtOmeter here en-
plOyed, and given in an accompanying
table, with a probable error not ex-
ceeding one per cent, except close to
the edge. The light at the edge is
about four tenths of that at the center.
The variations in brightness are nearly
those which would be produced by a
homogeneous atmosphere of height
equal to the suns radius and opacity
such that only 26 per cent of the light
is transmitted. There appears to be a
slightly different distribution of the
light along the polar, from that along
the equatorial, diameter. If the atmOs-
phere were removed, the brightness of
the suns disk would be uniform, and
3.S3 times that of the center of the disk
at present, while the total amount of
light would be increased 4.65 times.

DANDELIoN GREENs.-When the leaves
of young dandeliOns are three or four
inches long, cut up the roots, just be-
low their junction with the leaves.
This is the way they are gathered for
the New York market. In dressing
them take off all the decayed imperfect
leaves, and cut the root close, leaving
just enough to hold the leaves. Then
put into kettle, with about an equal
quantity of water, and boil briskly an
hour or more. When tender, let them
drain in a colander ten minutes, and
serve warm. If seasoning is desired,
stew One-fourth the quantity of rhubarb
stems in as little water as possible, chop
up the cooked greens and mix with the
stewed rhubarb intimately.

AGRICULTURAL.

TEMPERATURE OF PLANrs.-Most OF
our plants are injured by too much heat
For general collection of house plants
it Is not best to allow the thermometer
to be above seventy, and if they could
be kept in room where the thermome-
ter does not usually range above sixty
five it would be better. In the night
time fifty is high enough. Give little
fresh air every fine day, and all the
sunlight attainable. Cleanliness is just
as necessary to plants as to other bodies
therefore secure them from dust, il
possible. Sweeping carpets is enough
to kill both plants and sweepers. 1t
will be a happy day for our lungs, as
well as for the lungs of plants, when
we get a good substitute for carpets,
something that will not raise a cloud OF
dust every time step is taken.
Until this good time comes, give the
whole plant good Swinging occasion
ally, or a bath in pail of water. A
little moisture in the air of room is
pleasant and healthy. We would not
say that green house or mushroom
house would be good place to live in,
but We do say that a room that will
keep few plants in good health, other
things being favorable, will keep a
family in the same desired condition
The family can breathe the same con-
fined, dusty, dry, overheated air of a
room and live, because they are out in
the air good portion of the time, but
those who are confined to the air of our
living-roOms the greatest number OF
hours, are the most delicate, and the
plants having TO remain in those over
heated, ill-ventilated and dusty rooms
without moments relief, must drooI
and die. Cleanliness, fresh air, moder.
ate heat, and a moist atmosphere will
secure healthy plants.

Cunning ofthe Adder.-A cOrrespOn-
dent of the Milwaukee Sentinel states
that, over thirty years ago, in Leeds,
Greene county, n. Y, his attention
was one day attracted by the plaintive
cry of cat. Looking into a garden,
an adder was seen near the cat. The
cat seemed to be completely paralyzed
by fear of the adder she kept up the
plaintive cry, as if in great distress,
but did not take her eye off the ser
pent, or make any attempt to attack or
escape. Soon the snake saw that hu-

rative, concluded TO release the cat
from its trouble. took garden rake
and put it on the snakes back, and
held it without hurting it. As soon as
had the snake fast in this position, it
raised its head, fattened it out, and
blew, making kissing noise, and some
thing resembling breath or steam came
from its mouth. When that was ex-
hausted removed the rake, and the
adder turned over on its back, lying as
if dead. With the rake l turned it
over on its belly again, but it immedi-
ately turned on its back. This was re-
peated several times. At last it was
taken out of the garden, laid in the
road, and we all retired to watch its
movements. 1t commenced to raise
and turn its head slowly docking about

and started at full speed for a little
pool of water in the road, from which
it was raked out and dispatched

Ant eaters cetches 'em with their

Debility and Nervous Headache.

Chronic, sick or nervous headache is
generally dependent on. or accompanied
by, impaired digestion, by which the
circulation and nutrition of the brain
are deranged, and the nervous centres
vitiated. The PERUVIAN SYRUP, by re-
invigorating and digestive powers, lays
the axe at the root of the tree; the
brain is duly nourished. the nervous
symptoms cease, and the headache dis
appears. ID
