To all, particularly lnvalids, spring

should at once be attended to. Fatal diseases
may be caused by allowing the bowels to be-
come constipatet, and the system to remain
in disordered condition, until the disorder
has time to develop itself: An ounce OF pre-
vention is worth pound Of cure, is an old
and truthful saying. Therefore we advise
all who are troubled with the complaints now

OF these pills with them. They have an al
most instantaneous effect. They will relieve
the patient OF headache in one or two hours,
and will rapidly cleanse the liver OF sur

A new Thames Tunnel.

The proposal to construct a subway
under the river Thames at WoodWich,
which originated October, 1873, con-
segment upon the npsetting of a
skiff in a fog and the lossof nine lives,
is about to be carried into effect, and
the necessary capital, 100000, is said
to have been subscribed. The tunnel
will be for foot passengers only, but
wide enough for five persons to walk
abreast. A subway which would have
admitted carriages as well has been
thought very desirable, as there is no
way for vehicles across the river be-
low London bridge, but the estimated
cost exceeds $3.50, 900, and it was con-
sidered impracticable to raise such an
amount.

Sleep the Bes. Stimulant.

Olcep INC BeSt SllmulAnt.
The best possible thing for man to
do when he feels too weak to carry it
through is to go to bed and sleep a
week if he can. This is the only true
recupertaion of power, the only actual
recuperation of brain force. Because
during sleep the brain is in state of
rest, in a condition to receive and ap-
propriate particles of nutriment from
the blood which takes the place of
those which have been consumed in
previous labor, since the very act of
thinking consumes, burns up solid par
ticles, as every turn of the wheel or
screw of the splendid steamer is the
result of consumption by fire of the
fuel in the furnace. The supply of
consumed brain substance can only be
had from the nutritive particles in the
blood, which were obtained from the
food eaten previously. and the brain is
so constituted that it can best receive
and appropriate to itself those nutri-
tive particles during a state of rest,
Of quiet, and stiffness in sleep. Mere
stimulents supply nothing in them
selves; they only goad the brain, force
it to a greater consumption of it's sub.
stance, until that substance has been
so exhausted that there is not power
enough left to receive supply, just as
men are SO near death by thirst and
starvation that there is not power
enough to swallow anything, and all is
over.

A Terrific Fall Of Cats.

The recent mosquito shower, bad as
it was, has been eclipsed by a still
more recent and Objectionable shower,
which occurred in California. It was
restricted to the narrow area of a sim
gle city lot, on Van Ness street, CAL
ifornia but it was of unparalleled VIC.
lence and malignity. Early one eve
ming the Van Ness street family were
quietly seated around the social center
table, the father explaining to casual
Eastern visitor the unequaled beauties
of the California climate, and the
mother hushing her baby by reading
in a monotonous murmur the report of
the days sale of mining stocks. Sud-
denly u lous pattering was heard on
the roof, mingled with the last des-
pairing cry of some strange tom.cat in
his agony. The pattering and the
cries increased. and a shower of heavy
objects fell from the caves and ratified
on the pavement below. The whole
family rushed to the front piazza, and,
by the increasing light of the full
moon beheld scores of cats pouring
from the roof. Cats of all sizes and
colors were sliding over the shingles
and turning wild somersaults in the
air. At one moment a gigantic TOM
cat would clutch the pitiless gutter
pipe, and failing to break his fall,
would Shoot meteor-like, with out
stretched tail, through the astonished
night, and impale himself on the iron
spikes of the front fence. At another
moment staid tortoise-shell tabby, of
untarnished reputation, would make
the fatal plunge, uttering blasphemous
and blood-curdling yells until she
Drained herself on the brick pavement.
The Mortified family fed to the cell
lar, where they passed the night in
denouncing the weather bureau, in
vainly attempting to convince their
eastern friends that an occasional cat
shower in no way detractcd from the
unequaled excellence of the California
climate, and in searching a pocket New
Testament for the account of the de-
struction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
The shower did not last more than fif-
teen minutes. although it sprinkled
cats at intervals until morning. When
daylight came every fence-spike was
ornamented with an impaled cat, and
the yard was so thickly strewn with
the dead and wounded that an expert
enced meterologist, who subsequently
investigated the affair, reported that at
least eight inches of cats must have
fallen during the night. The theory
put forth by this skeptical man of
science in order to account for the
shower hardly needs to be refuted.
lie invented a small boy, whom he &C.
cused of having creased the roof with
imaginary butter, which caused some
hundreds OF cats, assembled on the
ridge-pole with view to singing the
praises of love and mice, to loose their
footing. Inasmuch us he failed to pro-
duce either the boy or the butter, and
also failed to explain how a boy could
keep his footing on a creased roof,
where the most skillful cat, even with
the aid of four feet and full set Of
claws could not maintain /: position,
we can only pity the weakness and
despise the effrontery Of the scientific
skeptic.

Hanging in China.

Iobserved one mode of Chinese cap.
ltal punishment known as the "cage.'
The "cage' was between two and
three feet square, and over six feet
high. Near the bottom was a close
floor of plank. The four sides were
work of open palings. The plank COM
posing the cover were made to fit
around a mans neck, close enough to
hang him, but not close enough to stran-
gle him. The condemned man was
put into this cage, his head projecting
above, the cover fitting around his neck,
and under his feet number of bricks,
one above the other, just enough to
enable him to stand on tiptoe. When
this position from WEAKNESS, became
uncomfortable, his only relief was to
hang by his neck. The design is to
make a man suffer as much as possible,
but not to kill him too quickly. Usu-
ally, after criminal has been standing
thus for 4 day or so, one of the bricks
is removed, and then another, until he
hangs by the neck altogether. 1t is
said that strong man ordinarily will
endure this torture several days before
life becomes extinct.
vi Cne present occasion ueatn was
fastened more quickly. The man was
put into the cage on Sunday afternoon,
/ believe, about one O'Clock. I heard
of it on Monday morning, and went
over to Annoy about o'clock in the
afternoon to see him. lie had been
dead sometime. The guard said that
he just died before daylight; that he
was conscious of having committed
great crimes, and had FASTENED his
death by kicking the bricks from under
his feet. But the people said (private-
ly) that the guard wished to get rid Of
their charge that they might prepare
to keep New Years day (the Chinese
New Year was near at hand, } and there
fore had taken the bricks from under
his feet during the night. That was
probably the fact.

A FASHIONABLE LADY's PRAYER.-Lord
strengthen my husband, and may his faith
and bis money hold out to the last.
Draw the lambs wool of unsuspcious twi-
light over his eyes that my firtations may
look to him like victories, and that my bills
may strengthen his pride in me.
Bless, 0, Fortune! my crimps, rats and
frizzles, and let thy glory shine on my paint
and powder.
Enable the poor to shift for themselves, and
save me from all missionary beggars.
Shed the light on my camers hair shawl,
my lavender silk, my point lace and my neck:
lace of diamonds, and keep the moths out OF
my sable, beseech thee, 0, Fortune.
When I walk out before the gaze of vulgar
men, regulate my wiggle, and add new grace
to my gait.
When I bow myself to worship, grant that
I may do it with ravishing elegance, and pre-
serve unto the last the lily-white of my flesh
and the taper of my fingers.
Destroy mine enemies with the gall OF
jealousy, and eat up with the teeth of envy
all those who gaze at my style.
Save me from wrinkles and foster my
plumpness.
Fill both my eyes with the plaintiff poison
of intatuation, that I may lay out my vic
tims-the men-as numb as images craven.
Let the lily and the rose strive together in
my cheeks, and may my neck swim like a
goose on the bosom of the crystal water. .
Enable me, O, Fortune, to wear shoes still
little smaller, and save me from all corns
and bunions.
Bless Faun, my lapdog, and rain down hail,
stones of destruction upon those who shall
hurt Hector, my kitten.
Smile, o, Fortune, most sweetly, upon Dick,
my canary, and watch over with the fondness
of ghost, my two lily-white mice with red
eyes,
