DR.. sehsnek's Standard Remedies.

The standard remedies for all diseases
of the lungs are SCHENCK's PULMoNIC
SYRUP, SCHENCK's SEA WEED Tonic,
and SCHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS, and,
if taken before the lungs are destroyed.
a speedy cure is effected.
To these three medicines DIR. }. H.
Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his un-
rivalled success in the treatment of pull
monarv diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the NOR
bid matter in the lungs; nature throws
it off by an easy expectoratien, for when
the phlegm or matter is ripe a slight
cough will throw it OFF, 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 distractions, 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 alkali OF
which it is composed, mixes with the
food and prevents souring. 1t assists
the digestion by tening up the stomach
to 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.

PROTECTING RoOFs FROM FIRE.-A
wash composed Of lime, salt and fine
sand, or wood ashes, put on In the Ordi-
nary way of whitewashing, is said to
render the roof fifty-fOld more safe
against taking fire from falling cinders
or otherwise in case of fire in the
vicinity. 1t pays the expense hundred
fold in its preserving influences against
the effect of the weather; the older and
more weather-beaten the shingles, the
more benefit derived. Such shingles
are generally more or less warped.
rough and cracked. The application of
the wash, by wetting the upper surface,
restores them to their original or first
form, thereby closing the spaces between
the shingles, and the lime and sand, by
filling up the cracks and pores in the
shingle itself, prevents its warping for
years, if not forever.-Firemdn's Journal.

WHEN a man comes home and tries to
bolt his door with sweet potato, pokes
the fire with the spout of a coffee-pOt,
attempts to wind up the clock with his
boot-jack, tries to cut kindling wood for
the morning fire with paper knife,
takes cold potato in hand to light him
to bed, and prefers sleeping with his hat
and boots on, you may reasonably infer
that he has been making the acquaint-
ance of some very friendly people.

Proposed Optical Barometer.-When
a refracting prism is successfully i'm
mersed in media of different refractlve
indices, the ultimate angular deviation
of the raw will. as is well known, de-
pend in each case on the relative lndl-
ces of the glass and the medium sur
rounding it at the time of the expert
ment. And as the refractive index OF
atmospheric air varies with its density.
the amount of deviation of the refrac-
ted ray will be a measure of the densi-
ty of the air, that is, will give the
means of ascertaining the reading OF
the barometer at the time.
If the ray of light were made to pass
through a number of refracting and
totally rejecting prisms. the deviation
would be increased. If with these
prisms a microscope were combined,
the prisms might be used as a barOme-
ter Or if the ray be received oblique-
ly on a number of pieces of glass, hav-
ing parallel faces and slightly separa-
ted from each other, although there
would be no angular deviation, there
would be horizontal displacement which
would admit of being measured by a
micrOmeter. How far such an applica-
ton would be of practical value Is GER
tainly doubtful, as the effect of chan
ges of temperature on the prism itself
might interfere with the very limited
range of the instrument. Or again, 1t
is possible that easterly, westerly, or
other currents-or perhaps differences
in the hygrOmetric state of the atmos-
phere-may affect the index of refrac-
ton otherwise than by the mere chan
ges of density which they produce.
But if such be the case, the refractlng
prism will be useful in determining the
existence and amount of such varia-
tions in the refrangibility of the at
mosphere.-ThOmas Sterenson, IN Nd-

A Sharp Trick at Cards.

which lie considered about as sharp as
any on record. The players were both

ly. But, as the result proved, one OF them
was too sharp for his opponent. For ways
that ARE dark and tricks that are vain he
rivalled the proyerbial Chinese. Wewill
designate the players a. Smith and Jones.
The game had progressed for some time
when Jones took the cards for deal. He
shutlled and passed to Smith who gave
them square cut. Jones then ran them
of one at time, and the result was the
two biggest hands possible. Jones, who
had dealt had four kings, while Smith
held four aces. Smith bet one dollar.
Jones saw and raised him fifty dollars;
Smith covered and raised hundred |;
Jones came in and raised another fifty
dollars, which was Immediately covered

How He Advertised for a Wife.

DURING the sessions of the State, Grange,
Patrons of Husbandry, in this city, the
place of meeting was filled with farmers,
their wives and fair daughters and some
young bachelor farmers, who, of course,
were anxious that the fair damsels should
know that they yearned for some one to
make brighter the farmhouse for them,
superintend the dairy and darn the stock
lngs of their spouses But just how to
pass round this information to the young
ladies wasn't known. Finally it came
about in one instance in the following
amusing manner: The roll was called
and those who brought their wives, and
daughters were asked to answer Here
and wife, or 'Here, wife and daughter"
as the case might be. A large number Of
names had been called and every one
turned to see who answered, and each
time the "Here'' was followed by an ad
dendum; but at last came a name well
call John Smith, and the young ladies al
turned their eyes to where a tail, angular
young farmer sat. He turned red, STAN
mered, coughed, and finally recovering
himself answered: Here, and SINGLE :
and after the session they made the young
man unhappy by accusing him of adver-

Dangers of Diving.


1t appears that the people on board a
ship which sunk on the northeastern coast
of Ireland, says Frank Buckland in his
+" Log Book" had tried to escape, having
first filled their shirt-sleeves with dollars
but in getting up the rocks many of them
had fallen back and met with an untimely
end, as the weight of the dollars had kept
their heads under water No one had
ever disturbed the wreck since the vessel
went down, so Mr.. Wood, a famous diver,
and his friends set to work to find out
where she was. They put on their diving
dresses, and for two or three days walked
about to and fro at the bottom of the sea
in about forty feet of water, searching for
the treasure. This they did by clearing
away the weeds and turning over the
stones with croWbars, and feeling for The
dollars with their hands, as the water was
too thick to see. The wood part of the
wreck itself had nearly persisted through
lapse of time and ravages of seaworms.
After long and careful search at last they
came upon the dollars; they were mostly
spread about among the stones, but many
had slipped down among IA heap OF iron
ore which had formed the ballast of the
ship. Many Of the dollars were worn
thin by the action of the water
When hunting among the wreck for the
dollars Mr.. Wood had some curious un-
der water adventures. One of the divers
complained that he was annoyed by a lob
ster and couldn'tWork. Mr. Wood learned
the whereabouts of the lobster and went
down after him. He soon discovered Mr.
Lobster sitting under rock looking as
savage as lobster can look. His feelers
were pointed we'll forward and he held out
his two great claws wide open in a threat
ening attitude. Wood, knowing the hab-
its of Holsters, offered this fellow his crow
bar, which he Immediately nipped with
his claws. Then, watching his oppor-
tunity, he passed his signal line over the
Holsters tail, made it fast, and signaled to
the men above to "haul away" This
they did and away flew Mr. Lobster, fly
ing up through the water into the air
above, with his claws still expanded and
as scared as a lobster could be. A great
conger-eel also paid the diver visit. He
was an immense fellow and kept swim
ming around Wood, but would not come
near HIM. Wood was afraid of his hand
being bitten, as q conger- cells bite is very
bad. He once knew diver whose finger
was seized by conger. This brute took
ali the flesh clean off the mans finger A
conger is very dangerous animal to a
man when diving in the water. However,
this conger kept swimming round about
Wood, so he took his clasp-knife out and
tried to stab him; but the conger would
not come near enough to be "knifed. -
Itwas long time before the conger would
go away; and even after he had gone
away W God could not 60 on working, be-
cause he was not sure that the brute was
really gone for good and he might have
come out of some corner at any minute
and nipped his fingers. r~
