the sufferer will have become dis
gusted with the taste of pepper, and
with the appearance of this disgust
disappears the love of -ifquur The
fact is proven every day The extract
of beef is to he made into beef tea,
according to the directions on the pot,
in quantities as may be needed for the
time baing, and furnishes cheap,
easily digestibie and healthfuI
nutriment, it being made to 'stay
on the stomach" when heavier arti-
cles of food would be rejected. The
bromide of potassium is to be assa
carefully, and only in cases of extreme
nervousness, the dose being from
twenty to thirty grains, dissolved in
water. This is a public exhibit of the
method Of treatment adopted at inc
briate aSylums. In addition theretr
the drinking man should surround
himself with influences which. tend To
make him forget the degrading asso-
ciates of the bar-roOm, and lift him
upward. He should endeavor, so far
as his business avOcatiOns Sill per-
NIT, to sleep, hathe and eat regularly,
and to obey carefully che ordinary
laws of health. BY me adoption of
this course energet.lcally and sincerely,
no man who his the will to reform
can fail to % so. Hundreds and thou
SANDS cal attest the truth of these
statements. -TrGUeller.

Advice to Drinking Men.

THE question is frequently asked,
not only of DR.. Reynolds but of 9TH
ers, what course drinking man should
pursue to rid himself of the Craving
appetite for liquor. None but one
who has been there knows how terri
bic is this appetite and how difficult it
is to resist its demands. The desire
for just one more drink besets every
man who has ever fallen victim to the
curse, and the cries for something to
fill up the void without return to
the Intoxicating cup are heard every
where. 1t is pleasure to announce
that such substitute does exist. A
drinking man can supply himself cas-
lily with the remedies used at nearly
all of the inebriate asylums and be his
own physician at his own house, with
out the necessity, expense and pub
licity of visiting the WashingtOnian
Home or any other reformatory insti-
tuition.
His laboratory need contain only a
small quantity of cayenne pepper, a
pot of concentrated extract of beef
and a few grains of bromide of po-
tassium. When the desire for drink
reeurs, make tea from the cayenne
pepper, as strong as can be taken with
any degree of comfort, sweeten it with
milk and sugar and drink. The tea
will supply the same place that glass
of liquor would fill. and will leave no
injurious effects behind. Repeated
daily, or so often as the appetite re-
turns, it will be but few days before

How Food Is EconOmiZed in
Paris,

A VERY conclusive plan for ascer-
tanning the extent of misery that
reign5 at any time in Paris is to visit
the Central markets early in the
mOIning, and that portion Of them al
lOttcd t. the sale of broken meat. The
cooks and head-Waiters Of the restau
rants and hotels are entitled to the
scraps as perquisites. These scrapings
Of plates and dishes are collected into
tin Golfer, the contents uniformly
selling for three francs. Contractors
carts remove these debris at midnight
and convey them to central e5tab-
lishment, where the morSels are sepa-
rated and classed, made into news
paper parcels" and sold at prices va
rving according to the titbits, from
one to three sous each. These parcels
are sold by public auction in the mar
ket, and are eagerly purchased by the
very poor and needy, as we'll as by
the rOwdies and idlerS. 1t is sort of
banyan tree. Often the passer-by bids
for lot to give treat to pet cat or
favorite pug. Extending the prone
made, vendors of excellent soup, potato
and apple fritters, coffee and cream,
chocolate, etc, can he patrOnized for
very modest sum, as crowds of
working people testify, and the COM
modities must make glad the heart of
man and woman, to judge by the pre-
vaiIing mirth, only it is an excellent
habit with the French to enjoy a meal
under every circumstance. There is
a good deal Of truth in the Observa-
ton that 0ne-half of the population of
France boards inside restaurants and
the other moiety outside them.-PGrts

Houses in Damascus.

THE private houses Of Damascus are
a theme of wonder and admiration
throughout the Orient. In land in
which moist spot is called a garden,
and canal bordered by willows a
Paradise, the fancy constructs a pal
ace Of the utmost splendor and luxury
out of materials which in less glow
ing country would scarcely satisfy
moderate notions of comfort or of os-
tentatiOn.
But the East is a region of contrasts
as well as of luxury, and it is difficult
to say how much of their reputation
the celebrated mansions of Damascus
owe ~ the wretchednesS Of the Ordi-
nary dwellings, and also to the rag
gedness of their surroundings. We
spent day in visiting several of the
richest dwellings, and sleeping our
selves in the dazzling luxury they
offer
The exterior Of a private house gives
no idea of its interior. Sometimes its
plain mud wall has solid, handsome
street door, and if it is very old, per-
haps a rich Saracenic portal; but usu-
ally you slip from the gutter, lined
with mud walls, called a street, into
an alley, crooked, probably dirty, pass
through a stable-yard and enter
small court, which may he cheered by
a tree and a basin Of water. Thence
you wind through a narrow passage
into large court, a parallelOgram of
tessellated marble, having fountain
in the center, and about it orange and
lemon trees and roses and vines. The
house, two stories high, is built about
this court, upon which all the rooms
open without communicating with
each other. Perhaps the building
is Of marble and carved, or it may be
highly Ornamented with stuccO
and painted in gay colOrs- If the es-
tablishment belongs to a MOslem, it
will have beyond this court a second,
larger and finer, with more fountains,
trees and flowers, and a house more
highly decorated. This is the harem,
and the way to it is a crooked alley, so
that by no chance can the slaves or
visitors of the master get glimpse
into the apartments Of the women.
The first house We visited was of this
kind; all the portion the gentlemen Of
the party were admitted into was in a
state of shabby decay; its court in
disrepair. its rooms void of comfort
a condition of things to which we had
become well accustomed in every thing
Moslem. But the ladies found the
court of the harem beautiful, and its
apartments old and very rich in wood
carving and in arabesques, som ething
like the best old Saracenic houses in
Cairo. - Charles Dudley Warmers

What Josh Billings Says.

/ HAVE finally come to the conclu-
sion that the best epitaph any man can
have. for all practical purposes, is a
good bank account.
The great mistake that most people
make is, they think more of their
cunning than they do of their hon
esty.
just compare the things that are use
full with the things that are kept for
show, then strike the balance, and you
have got the amount Of common sense
in this world.
The great fight is first for bread,
then butter on the bread, and then
sugar On the butter.
Don't parade your misfortunes be
fore the world; you might as well
show your old sores and ask folks to
pity them.
The unhappiness of this life seems
principally to consist in getting every
thiifg we can and Waating everything
We haven't got.

in excess of the exports Of the previous
year. Although the balance OF trade
between the two countries Is still III
favor of France by nearly j6,OOO,OO
francs, yet this is gain in favor OF
the United States of nearly $4,000 900
francs over the year 1873, and of H.
500, 600 francs over the year 1872. The
total value of the declared exports to
the United States in France, for the

crease of 81, 700, 900 over the cor
