Dr. Scbeuck,s standard Remedies.

The standardremedies for ali diseases of the lungs
are ScnENcK's PULMoYIc SYRUP, ScHEYcK's SEA
WEED Tonic, and ScHENcK's MANDRAKE PILLS, and,
IL taken before the lungs are destroyed, q speedy
cure is effected.
To these three medicines DR.. j. II. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
Tho Pulmonic Syrup ripens the merbid matter in
tho lungs nature throws 1t off by an easy expecto-
ration, for when the pnlegm matter is ripe slight
cough will throw 1t off, the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pumonic Syrup to do this, Sehenck's
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must
DO freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act on the liver, remov-
inc all distractions relax the gall bladder tho bile
starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic Is a gentle stimulant
and alternatives the alkali of which IL is composed
mixes the food and proven souring 1t assists
the digestion by toniug up the stomach to healthy
will! make good blood; then the lungs heal, and the
patient will surely get well If care is taken to pre-
vent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DR.. Schenck. either per-
sonaly by letter, do at his principal Office,
corner of SIXTH and ARCH STREETS, Philadelphia,
every Monday.
schenck's medicines are cold by all druggists
throughout the country.

Hassan, commanding the Egyptian forces,
has received orders to return to Egypt.
A Vienna dispatch reports that the whole
of Northwestern Bosnia is in full rebellion,
and the situation of the Turks Is very serious.
Reinforcements for the new scene OF dis
turbance have left Serajeo. The news
from Seryia is again disquieting. The pro-
eeedings of the Ministry OF War seem to In
dictate that the government will yield TO the
Radicals and declare war. The tone OF the
Belgrade journals is war-like.. ....A special to
the London Times from Venice states that
a recent conversation between Baron Robich
and the insurgent leaders was without re-
suit. The insurgents demanded the with
drawal of the troops and of the Beys. The
possibility of pacifcation is slight. .....Ad.
vices from Bosnia assert that the instruction
which broke out in the Bihiacs district. is
in full Roadway along the Drina and North
Bosnia frontier, and all places between Mog.
dane, Polyo and Petrowalz, have risen. A
deputation of insurgents have gone to Bel.
grade.

The Mississippi Jetties.

New Orleans correspondence of the
New York Graphic: OF all the public
works ever attempted in this country,
the jetties now being constructed at the
mouth of the South pass of the Missis-
sippi river probably received the greatest
opposition, even from engineers standing
eminent in their profession. Captain
James b. Eads fought for them almost
single-handed, and to him must be
awarded the credit of introducing into
the country works heretofore untried,
and which, when finished, will open the
vast extent, fertility and resources of the
Mississippi Valley to the world.
Jetties arc simply parallel dikes or
levees under water, extending from the
mouth of the river seward, and are in
tended to act as banks to the river, to
prevent itsexpanding and diffusing itself
as it enters the sea. 1t is notable fact
that where the banks of the river extend
boldly out into the sea no bar is formed
at the entrance. The bar results from
the diffusion of the stream as it spreads
out fan-like in entering the sea. The
ietties make this contraction of water.
The depth required by law is thirty feet
below mean high-water line, and to this
depth Captain Eads has contracted to
dig. These jetty walls are nearly paral.
lei to each other and one thousand
feet apart, and constructed of willow
mattresses averaging about one hundred
feet long and width proportional so as
to form the slope. As each mattress is
laid quantity of stone is used to weigh
it down, and before twenty-four hours
elapse the mattress itself is thoroughly
filled with sedimentary matter, and forms
one common mass with the bottom, i'm
pervious to the securing action.
Work was begun on the jetties in June,
1875, and is SO far advanced as to already
deepen the channel nearly one.half, and
a perceptible increase is found daily. BY
contract Captain Eads was allowed thirty
months to do what he has nearly accom-
plished in nine months, and Venture to
say before the 4th of July next the
largest shipping will be able to enter the
Mississippi river. notice the Scientific
american has suggested Captain Eads'
name for the highest Office in the gift OF
the people. / trust he will not fall a
prey to politicians. l believe many a
man can be President, but comparatively
few can be engineers. He is too much

About the House.

About the House.
A METHOD has been discovered for
making more than the usual quantity of
tea from any given quantity OF the leaf.
The whole secret consists in steaming
the leaf before sleeping. BY this pro-
cess fourteen pints of good quality can
be brewed from one ounce of tea.
CEMENT FOR BROKEN CHINA.-Make q
thick solution of gum arabic in water,
then stir in plaster of paris until the
mixture becomes sticky paste. Apply
with brush to the broken edges, stick
them together, and in three days the ar
ticle cannot be broken in the same place.
PULLED BREAD.-Pull the soft portion
OF new loaf into rough pieces; let them
be Of equal size, say about two or three
inches each way. Dry the pieces in a
slow oven or before the fire till they be-
come nice light brown color, and when
they are quite crisp they will be ready
for use. They are very nice with coffee.
BLACK WALNUT STAN.-Take one
quarter of a pound of asphaltum, one
half pound of common beeswax, and one
gallon of turpentine. If the mixture is
found too thin, add beeswax; if too light
in color, add asphaltum; very little
will make difference in the shade.
Vanishing is not necessary, as the wax
gives a good gloss. This is good stain
for pine.
ALWAYS fill the bowl of the lamp
loosely with batting or raw cotton be-
fore putting in any oil, as in case OF an
accident by breaking or bursting the
lamp, the oil cannot then be scattered
all over the room. Less space will also
DO left for disengaged explosive gas,
when the lamp from carelessness or acct
dent is lighted after being allowed to
get empty, or nearly so.
ORANGE CAKE.-One cup of sugar.
half a cup of butter, two cups of flour,
half cup of sweet milk, teaspoonful
of baking powder sifted with the flour.
Rub the butter and sugar to cream, add
the eggs, the whites and yolks beaten
separately, then the milk, then the flour.
Bake in jelly-pans. Squeeze the juice
from an orange, add to it the grated rind,
make it stiff with powdered sugar, and
stir the white of one egg well beaten.
Spread this on the cakes and lay one on
another, like jelly cake.
Hoes HEAD CHEESE. - Thoroughly
clean the head, which must be split open,
put it over the fire, with plenty of cold
water and handful of salt. Boil until
the bones drop out; it will require five
or six hours, or perhaps longer, as it de-
ponds on the size of the head. When
done, drain off the broth, take out every
particle of bone, put the meat in Q
chopping bowl, season with pepper, red
and black, half teacupful of sweet mar
joram the same of summer savory the
same of sage teaspoonful of powdered
allspice, two of cloves, a salt spoonful OF
powdered mace. Chop all together as
fine as possible add half pint Of the
broth and the same of sharp vinegar
put in molds, and when cold cut in thin
slices.

Ben. Bristow and His old Teacher.

Professor Sloan, of the Reformed Pres
byterian Theological Seminary of ALLIE
gheny, was called to prOfessorship in
country school in Kentucky, just after
his graduation, and says that in that
school was boy who had led all the rest
in study, in play, and all honorable en-.
deavor. This boy was Ben. Bristow, and
his teacher noted him as one likely to
make his mark in the world. He had a
logical mind, clear discrimination be-
tween right and wrong; chose the right
almost invariably, and maintained it
heroically. When he felt himself in
error he did not wait to be tried and
convicted, but acknowledged and made
reparation, and was intolerant of moth
ing so much as deceit and meanness
OF all the boys who have come under
Professor Sloan's notice, in life now
extended into the sere and yellow leaf,
he thinks Ben, as boy, was father to
the man, in giving promise of good hard
work, resolutely undertaken and system
atically and vigorously pursued. He
thinks Ben. the very man to break up a
nest of thieves. e.. ,Srishel,n.

A Few Words 10 Feeble IN Delicate wo-
men.
By r. v. PIERCE, M. D., Of the Worlds Dis
Pensary, Buffalo, N. Y, Author of "The
Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser"
etc., etc.
Knowing that you are subject to great
amount of suffering, that delicacy on your
part has a strong tendency to prolong il, 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 consulted by scores of your sex, desire
to say to you, that 1 am constantly meeting
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 medi-
cine, or be tortured by any further treatment.
They had rather die and have their sufferings
ended than to live and suffer as they have.
They say they are worn out by suffering, and
are only made worse by treatment. VI
anything more disc0uraging, we certainly
cannot conceive, and were there no more
successful 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 indications dictate
treatment directly the reverse of the one
adopted for them, their case would be de-
plOrable 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 sys-
TEN. A harsh, irritating caustic treatment
and strong medicines will never cure you.
If you would use rational means, such as
common sense should indicate to every in
telligent lady, take such medicines as en-
body the very best invigorating tonics and
nervines, compounded with special refer
ence 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
| ianguid tiresome sensations, causing you to
feel scarcely able to be on your feet or
ascend 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 iretful, may all be overcome and sub
dued by persevering use of that marvellous
remedy. Irregularities and distractions to
the proper working of your system are re-
| lieved by this mild and safe means, while
periodical pains, the existence of which is a
sure indication of serious disease that should
not be neglected, readily yield to it, and If
its use be kept up for a reasonable length
of time, the special cause Of these pains is
permanently removed. Further light on
these subjects may be obtained from "The
Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser
| in which | have devoted a large space To
the consideration of all forms of diseases pc.
culiar to your sex. This work will be sent
| (post-paid) to any address on receipt OF
$3.50. My Favorite Prescription is sold by
| druggists.

Poor Cider.

One afternoon, in a "Down- East +"
grocery store, an old man came in for a
drink of cider. The grocer had some
which, having been frozen and thawed
several times, was about as poor a drink
as could be found between here and the
Black Hills. A glass having been poured
out for him, he drank with the remark
that it was "cussed poor cider"
"Don't you know" said a veteran
loafer, "the way they make that cider I?
They just set up cask of water and
throw rotten apples at it."
"Well," said the man, rs he slowly
extracted three coppers from his wallet
and paid for his drink, they didn't hit
il more'n once"
