Now, there Is q very numerous class
of persons who are subject to what may
be termed "waking Dreams" which
they can induce by placing themselves
i'm condition favorable to reverie; and
the course of these dreams is essential
ly determined by the individuals pre-
lions conveyed from without. In many
who do not spontaneously fall into this
state, fixity of the gaze for some minutes
Is quite sufficient to induce it; and the
"mesmeric mania" Of Edinburgh in
1851 showed the proportion Of such
susceptible individuals to be much
larger than was previously supposed.
Those who have hadadequate opportuni-
ties of studying these phenomena find no
difficulty in referring to the same catego-
ry many of the "spiritualistic" perform
ances of the present time, in which we
seem to have reproductions of the states
that were regarded in ancient times,
under the influence of religious prepos-
session, as results of divine inspiration.
1 have strong reason to believe (from
my conviction of the honesty of the indi-
yiduals who have themselves narrated
to me their experiences) that they have
really seen, heard, and felt what they
describe, where intentional deception
is out of the question; that is, that they
had the same distinct cOnciousness, in
states of expectant reverie, Of seeing,
touching. and conversing with the spir-
its of departed friends, that most OF us
occasionally have in our dreams. And
the difference consists in this-that
while one, i'm the exercise of his COM
nonsense, dismisses these experiences
as the creation of his own brain, having
no objective reality, the other, under
the influence of his prepossession accepts
the results of impression db ertrd made
upon him by Spiritual" agencies

it of by an easy expectoratien, for when
the phlegm or matter Is ripe slight
cough will throw it OF, the patient has
rest and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do
this, Schenck's Mandrake Pills and
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must be
freely used to cleanse the stomach and
liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act on
the liver, removing all obstructions, re-
lax the gall bladder, the bile starts
freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle
stimulant and Alternative; the alkah OF
which it is composed, mixes with the
food and prevents sOuring. 1t assists
the digestion by tening up the stomach
to a healthy condition, so that the food
and the Pulmonic Syrup will make good
blood; then the lungs heal, and the pa
tient will surely get well if care is taken
to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DIR. Schenck,
either personally or by letter, can do so
at his principal Office, corner Of Sixth
and ARCH STREETS, Philadelphia, every
Monday.
Schenck's medicines are sold by all
druggists throughout the country.

Cooking by Cold.-It is curious fact,
not generally known, that the action of
intense cold on organic substances is
similar to that of high degree of heat.
and that, when subjected TO very low
temperature, meat can be brought to a
condition similar to its state when
cooked by actual warmth. Quite re-
Gently a Hungarian chemist, DIR. Won
Sawiczewsky, who, it appears, has in
vestigated all the various ways sugges-
ted for preserving meat (by chemicals,
cooking by heat and hermetically sea-
ling, etc. }, and has found points of OBJ
lection to all, has attempted the prepa-
ration of the material by subjecting it
in perfectly fresh state to tempera-
ture of 33 deg. below zero, Fah., and
sealing it afterwards in tins. The re-
suits obtained have been highly salts
factory; the meat on being removed
from the cans appears, in point OF smell
and color, as fresh as if Just taken from
the butchers stall. Although partially
cooked, and thus requiring less fuel to
complete the preparation for the table,
it is entirely without the taste of meat
which has been partially subjected to
any heating process, and may be roas-
ted, boiled, or otherwise treated, the
same as if it were fresh. A commission
appointed by the German governments
has lately conducted a series of careful
and successful experiments upon the
process and as a final test two cor
vetes of the German navy, being
about to ciIcumnavigate the globe,
have been supplied with large stock.
An extensive factory is being erected
in Hungary for Its manufacture.

The Sdrdine Trdde-A Ner Utiii-dtiOn
| of the GrdsshOppers.-lt is officially re-
ported by the French Minister of Ma
rine that the sardine fisheries are grad
ually diminishing in yield. The rea-
son is not that the fish are becoming
scarce, but that the supply of bait used,
the roe of the Goldfish imported from
American fisheries, has become made
quate to meet the demand. 1t has late
ly been found, however, that grasshOp-
ders, pounded into a paste, initiate the
roe so exactly that the most knowing
of the sardines cannot distinguish the
difference; and accordingly the French
government has imported large guam
titles of the insects from Algeria in or
der to try the new bait on large scale.
This fact of the grasshoppers being
good for fish bait might be looked into
somewhat further here, and it may ap-
pear that the insects which yearly ra-
wage our western country, may be
turned to good account for catching
fish indigenous to our waters.
1t is interesting to learn, dpropos of
sardines, that the United States is the
largest consumer of the fish, which are
exported, as Is well known, in tin cans
packed in oil but on the other hand,
it has been discovered that fully 40 per
cent of the fish which we buy as sar-
dimes are not genuine, but are young
sprats, mackerel, and other common
species. A syndicate has lately been
established in France to watch exports
in the future, and prevent the sale of
such fish as are not genuine and of
marketable quality. The ordinary
yearly production of sardines in France
now reaches 100000 cases.

The Missionary and the Tiger.

As pious missionary was travelling
through jungle, he CHANGED to observe
a leopard lying under a plantain tree.
Being undesirOus of intruding upon the
animals privacy, he made wide de-
tour, and was so unfortunate as to en-
counter beneath a lofty bamboo tiger.
"What do you here?" demanded the
fierce animal, in an angry voice.
"It is rather l who should ask the
question:" replied the missionary; "for
l lett you but a moment since beneath
that plantain and now here you are
again, whereas the scripture expressly
teaches you that the leopard cannot
change his spOts.' "It does" replied
the tiger; ''but am a creature of quite
another stripe" So saying he sprang
upon the missionary and devoured him.
Aordl-There are exceptions to every
general rule.

Dr. wistar's Bal..m Of wild Cherry

The standard remedy for the cure of
coughs, colds, influenza, bronchitis,
hoarseness, asthma, whooping cough.
Group, sore throat, diphtheria, difficulty
of breathing. quinsy, phihisic, pain in
the side and breast, splitting of blood,
liver complaint, bleeding of the lungs,
and all diseases of the throat, lungs and
chest, including even consumption. 1t
seems hardly necessary to dilate at
length upon the virtues of this favorite
remedy for all diseases of the lungs,
throat and chest. 1t was introduced to
the public by DIR. Wistar nearly half a
century since, and by the wonderful
cures which it performed, gained an
immediate and enviable reputation,
which to this day it has fully sustained.
From the gulf of the st. Lawrence to
the shores of the Pacific, and in many
countries abroad, there are few villages
or hamlets without ''living testimo-
mails" to the rapidity and certainty of
its curative effects. The proprietors,
mindful Of their responsibility to the
afflicted, exercise the utmost care in the
selection and compounding of the vari-
Gus ingredients of which the BALsAM is
composed; and the sick are assured
that the high standard of excellence on
which its popularity is based, will al
ways be maintained.

Ventilation of Ships.-The Malabar
British trOOpship, which recently left
Portsmouth for Bombay with the 21st
brigade Royal Artillery. is fitted by
Messrs. Mosses g. Mitchell, of London,
with couple of automatic ventilators.
This new system of ventilation is re-
ported to have answered admirably on
board the Osborne royal yacht. An air
receiver, 6 feet high and % inches in
diameter, is placed on each side of the
ship and connected with pipes inches
in diameter. These connecting pipes
are filled with water, and the principle
of the cOntrivance Is simply this
When the vessel rolls at sea, the water
rushes to starboard and forms a va
cuum in the port receiver, into which
the foul air of the ship is instantly
sucked. On the return roll the water
rushes to port, drives out the air, and
leaves a vacuum in the same manner in
the starboard receiver; and such is the
extreme foice with which the foul air
of the ship is expelled, that it is to be
used on board the Malabar for the pur-
pose of sounding a fog horn which
shall be heard mile off.

To Cook SwEET-BR.sADs-PLAIN.-
For every mode of dressing they should
be prepared by half boiling and then
putting them into cold water. This
makes them whittier and thicker and
firmer. Dip them in egg and then
bread crumbs; pepper and salt. and fry
in lard; serve with peas or tomatoes.
Another way is, after they are par
boiled and cold, to lard them with fat
pork; put them into a stewpan, with
some good veal gravy and juice of a
small lemon; stew them till quite
tender, and just before serving thicken
with flour and butter; serve with the
gravy; garnish with sliced lemon.

New REMEDY FOR BURSs OR Seal,

New REMEDY FOR BURNS OR ScALDs.
The following is one of the best ap-
plications we know Of in case of burns
or scalds, more especially when large
surface is denuded of the skin: Take
one dram of finely powdered alum and
mix thoroughly with the whites of two
eggs and one teacup of fresh lard !;
spread on a cloth and apply to the parts
burned. 1t gives almost instant relief
from pain and by excluding the air pre-
vents infiammatory action. The appli-
cation should be changed at least once
a day.

BEDs.-One-third of our lives, on an
average, is spent in bed. 1t is where
We rest when tired, where we get well
when disease attacks US, or where We
die when the fiat goes forth. 1t should
possess all the elements of comfort
warmth, softness, airiness-every-
thing that can add to repose, and con-
duce to health. The latter point is rarely
thought of i'm the construction of beds.
There are thousands of feathers in use
now, that have been slept on for ten,
twenty, thirty years, and in some cases
longer. These. while they may have
softness and warmth, are certainly not
good for the health. Every nights
sleep upon bed adds to the amount of
effect matter absorbed from the body,
and is it unreasonable to say that in the
course of time it becomes utterly unfit
for any one to sleep on? Airing every
day, while it is highly beneficial will
not entirely purify, and after being used
so long, nothing will purify them. Too
little attention is paid to this matter.
We know housewives who do not air
their beds once a month, and rigid in
vestigation would frequently trace sick
ness and death TO this cause, when it is
attributed to something else. This is
especially true of children's beds.

To PREPARE STARCH FOR UsE.-Wet
two tablespOODfuls of starch to smooth
paste with cold water; pour to it a pint

it boil, stirring frequently, until it
looks transparent; this will probably
require half an hour. Add a piece of
spermaceti as large as half a nutmeg.
or as much salt, or loaf sugar-this will
prevent the starch from sticking to the
iron.

A Few Words to Feeble and Delicate
Women.

By r. v. PIERCE, NJ. D., of the Worlds
Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y, Author
of "The Peoples Common Sense Med
ical Adviser" etc., etc.
Knowing that you are subject to a
great amount of suffering, that delicacy
on your part has a strong tendency TO
prolong it, and the longer it is neglected
the more you have to endure and the
more difficult of cure your case becomes,
/. as a physician, who am daily con-
suited by scores of your sex, desire to
say to you, that / am constantly meet
ing with those who have been treated
for their ailments for months without
being benefited in the least, until they
have become perfectly discouraged and
have almost made up their mind never
to take another dose Of medicine, or be
tortured by any further treatment.
They had rather die and have their suf-
ferings ended than to live and suffer as
they have. They say they are worn out
by suffering, and are only made worse
by treatment. OF any thing more dis
couraging, we certainly cannot con-
ccive, and were there no more success
full mode of treating such difficulties
than that, the principles of which teach
the reducing and depicting of the vital
forces of the system, when the indica-
tiOns dictate a treatment directly the
reverse of the one adopted for them,
their case would be deplorable indeed.
But, lady sufferers, there is better and
far more successful plan of treatment
for you; one more in harmony with the
laws and requirements of your system.
A harah frrifoftnn natrstin
and strong medicines will never cure
you. If you would use rational means.
such as common-sense should dictate to
every intelligent lady, take such medi-
cines as embOdy the very best invigora-
ting tonics and nervines, compounded
with special reference to your delicate
system. Such happy combination you
will find in my Favorite Prescription,
which has received the highest praise
from thousands of your sex. Those
languid, tiresome sensations, causing
you to feel scarcely able to be on your
feet or ascend a flight of stairs; that
continual drain that is sapping from
your system all your former elasticity,
and driving the bloom from your
cheeks; that continual strain upon your
vital forces that renders you irritable
and fretful-may all be overcome and
subdued by a persevering use of that
marvellous remedy. Irregularities and
Instructions to the proper working Of
your system are relieved by this mild
and safe means, while periodical pains,
the existence of which is sure indica-
ton Of serious disease that should not
be neglected, readily yield to it, and If
its use be kept up for reasonable
length of time, the special cause of these
pains is permanently removed. Fur
ther light on these subjects may be OBJ
tanned from 1.-The Peoples Common
Sense Medical Adviser" in which 1

sideration of all forms of diseases pecu-
liar to your sex. This work will be
