DR.. SCHENCK'S PULM0NIC SYRUP, SEA
WEED Tonic AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These med
icines have undoubtedly performed more cures OF
Consumption than any other remedy known to the
American public They are compounded OF Vege-
table ingredients and contain nothing which can
be injurious to the human constitution. Other
remedies advertised as cures for Consumption
probably contain opium, which is somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and, If taken freely
by consumptive patients, it must do great injury
for its tendency is to conne the morbid matter in
the system, which, of course, must make cue
impossible Schencks PulmOnic Syrup is war
ranted not to contain particle of opium. 1t is
composed Of powerful but harmless herbs, which
act on the lungs liver. stomach and blood, and
thus correct all morbid secretions and eXPel all
the diseased latter from tie body. These are the
only means by which Consumption can be cured.
and as Schencks Pulmontc Syrup, Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills the only medicines
which operate in this way, is obvious they are
the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consump-
ton. Each bottle of this invaluable medicine is
accompanied by full directions. DR.. Schenck is
professionally at his principal office, corner SIKH
and Arch streets Philadelphia, every Monday,
where all letters for advice must be addressed.

crIbed their exemption solely to the sci.
tied habit of breathing ouly through the
nose.
Sd. BY breathing through the nose, lit.
tie, If any, air passes into the lungs until
1t has come in contact with the membranes
Of the nose, which are supposed to possess
some power of neuualiaing malarious and
contagious poisons.
4th, By drawing our breath oniy
through the nose, the air is warmed by
contact with the mem branes before il
reaches The lungs, and so intlammatiops
and congestions Of those organs are
avoided.
Per contra, the habit, SO common, o.
breathing through the mouth has many
disadvantages. In this way great vol.
ume OF air is quickly taken In, loaded
! with dust, malarious or contagious impu
rifles ETC., Of which we are utterly un
conscious, until the blood ha. beer
poisoned, and serious, perhaps fatal, dis
ease has been thaugurated. The cold air
being taken in in great volume and with
great rapidly, chills the lungs, whereas,
J II breathed through the nose, it would be
warmed before reaching the lungs.
The habit Of breathing through the
mouth is caused largely by weakness of
I the respiratory muscles, ard one excellent
method of Strengthening those muscles is
to breathe through the nose. 1t IS GER
J tainly as wise plan as sucking air
] through a silver tube, so often recon-
mended. Then breathe through the nose,

Passing the Lachine Rapids.

The various other rapids are passed
we are near Lachine, and the interest be-
comes intense. viii the Spartan run
the Lachine Rapids?" is the question
and some who lugubriotsly say to all
they meet that not once this year have
those rapids been run by enc of this line
steamers appear to believe that this will
not be an exception. But Lachine is
passed and the whistle blows, and canoe
is seen swiftly darling out from the
Caughnawaga shore. The celebrated
Indian pilot Baptiste is in the stern, and
he is now the center of attraction, that
side Of the vessel being crowded with
curious gaZers. In a moment he is in the
pilot-house, and aided by three men at
the wheel and two at the tiller, he is ready
to descend the most dangerous rapids of
the chain, the dangers being the greater be-
cause at this season they are hidden under
water. He is for time the principal man
on board, and is marvel OF alertness and
strength. Large, tall, muscular, with
face strongly marked and furrowed, eyes
flashing beneath slouched hat, but ever
fixed on what is before him, his face
changing with the speed of lightning
every moment, at one time knitted to-
gether as if in anxiety, and at another
covered with widespread smile, he is
quite a picturesque object as he stands at
the wheel giving his commands almost in
a whisper, at the same time with the
strength of giant giving the first turn to
the wheel. There is no laziness in the
wheelsmen in descending these rapids,
and their wheel is now spinning one way
and then another like the spinning.wheels

Breathing Through the Nose.

THERE are various reasons for considering
the nose the natural outlet of the lungs,
and hence various advantages are to be
derived from breathing through the nose.
LIST. If we breathe through the nose we
will be enabled often to detect the res
ence of noxious odors in the air we
breathe, and so be warned in time to pre-
vent disease.
3D. The internal nose is studded with
hairs, which in some degree at least pre-
vent the ingress of noxious matters in the
air we breathe. Dust is strained out; and
it is confidently asserted, by persons who
have tested the matter, that miasmas are
prevented from entering the blood if one
breathes only through the nose. Some
persons have lived in malarious districts,
slept on the banks Of malarious rivers,
ETC., for years, and yet have escaped all
the forms of fever which usually follow a
residence In the country, who have as.

AlOnZO's Mistake.

A BRUNSWICK youth has been waiting
on a girl for some time. He is one of
those deliberate beings who don't seem
to have any idea that life is real and earn
est, or that a goal or a gal may be reached
any sooner by hurrying. He was reused
little last. Sunday night, though. He
had conveyed to the girl aforesaid the in
formation that it hadn't rained yet, and
then settled back into his chair as though
he intended to remain there until it did
rain. The girl, who had become tired of
these long, dry spells of counting, finally
said to the aforementioned wooer:
"Alonzo, matters have been going on
this way long enough, and l feel that it
is my duty unwomanly as it may SEEM
to bring them to focus. Now, will you
have me-"
Ehr' exclaimed Alonzo, rousing up.
81 say, will you have me-
Eyes, with pleasure" cried the Young
man, with more animation than he had
ever before exhibited; of course I'll have
you. l."
l was about to ask" continued the
young lady, =" If you would have Inc re-
quest my father to forbid you the house,
or will you kindly cease your visits with
out rendering an appeal to that authority
necessary?'
Mechanically he seized his hat and
carried it in his hand all the way home,
and then went half way back in search Of
it, before he came to his senses. Ever
since that night he has been sitting on a
goods box, near this office, trying to re-
member what he was created for

A Word to Busy People.

Do WE realize, we busy people, how
recklessly we abbreviate our hours of de.
votion? How little space we spare fol-
Col! Hours? Some of us can compress
into one poor, meager hour week, ex
elusive of Sundays and prayer meeting
nights, our time spent in reading the
Bible and in prayer. To be blessed and
tranquil, and spiritually to grow, we
must commune with the invisible. A
few hurried moments in the morning, a
few tired moments in the evening, frag
mentary dash at Matthew or Mark, and a
few verses hastily read with the sense OF
duty accomplished, are not enough to
lift one over the roughness and materiali-
ties of every day. They are better than
no reading, and better than no prayer, but
to have living sense of the nearness OF
God, one must abide in Him. We ought
to read more of the Bible at a time than
we do.-Christidn Standard.

A Bogus Drummer Cheating Western
Merchants.

A MAN who has been representing him
self as the agent of different New York
firms has been swindling Western mer-
chants lately in very ingenious manner
In Sandusky he introduced himself at the
drug store Of Messrs. j. E. Matthews 4
Co., as G. c. Reynolds, representative of
the firm of Edward Smith & Co., manu-
facturers Of varnishes and japans, Nos.
1926 and 1928 Pearl street, New York. He
was well acquainted with the varnish bust
thcws & Co., for an invoice of goods. He
went to the store on the next day and, cx-
hibiting letter purporting to have been
written by his employers, in which he
was authorized to draw for scvcnty-fiv
dollars at sight, asked to be accommo-
dated with that sum on his draft. He was
given the money, and the draft, to which
the letter authorizing him to draw was at
tached, was sent to New York for collec-
ton. As no such firm as Edward Smith
& Co. could be found at Nos. 426 and 42S
Pearl street, the draft was presented to
Messrs. Edward Smith & Co., manufac-
turers of varnishcs, at No. 161 William
street. These gentlemen said that they
had no man named G. G. Reynolds in
their employ, and that they knew nothing
of him. 1t then became apparent that
MesSrs. Matthews & Co had been the VIC
tins of an adroit swindler. Messrs Smith
& Co. have since learned that the same
man succeeded in obtaining seventy-tive
dollars in a like manner from a firm in
Erie, representing himself as the travelling
agent of Messrs. John Jewett & Sons,
dealers in linseed-oil and white lead, at
No. 1872 Front street. In Cincinnati he
represented that he was Lawson Valentine,
Of the firm of Valentine & Co., varnish
manufacturers, of No. 1923 Pearl street,
and induced Mr. John Curtis TO cash
his sight draft on New York for another
seventy five dollars. The swindler is de-
scribed as man of twenty-five, of rather
boyish appearance, very light complexion,
hair and mustache nearly white, about
five feet six inches high, and weighing
about 125 pounds. His countenance was
frank and pleasant, and his appear
ance is altogether prepossessing.-N. 7.

If grease, fat or rosin, which are com
monty employed to make soap, are heat
ed with an excess of common salt, am
monia and water, soda soap separates,
leaving chloride of ammonia in the
liquor, together with the excess Of am
monia and salt. This reaction is the con-
sequence of the great solubility of am
monia soap in ammoniacal water, and the
insolubility Of soda soap in water con-
tanning more than one-half per cent of
salt. The ammonia at first unites with
fatty acids; then the sodium in the salt
exchange places with the ammonia in
;he soap, forming, as we said, a soda
soap and chloride of ammonia. 1t is es-
sential that there be an excess of ammo
MIA and salt present in order that the re-
action take place. One hundred parts Of
grease requires fifteen to twenty parts am
monia, twenty to thirty parts salt, and 200
to 300 of water.-T. ". UAttelaw, IN

United Ages.

ONLY yesterday read in morning pa
per an account OF an interesting family re.
union, on the event of a fine old gentle
man reaching the ripe age of ninety
three. So far, so good 1t was beauti-
Eul occasion to celebrate. There were the
descendants, plenty of them, and all in
regular order. Still no oflense Nobody
could expect an old gentleman of ninety
three TO have grand family reunion with
out any descendants, The account put
me in quite Il glow of kindly feeling,
when suddenly, without the least warn
ing, | came upon this exhausting para
graph:
THE combined ages of the children,
grandchildren and great grandchildren
are seven hundred and sixteen years"
Think of that, nowl that is, if you can
think of it. l can't. | tried first to di-
vide the whole into children, grandchil-
dren and great grandchildren and they
spread out indefinitely from dozen to a
hundred. Then, scanning the account
further, l managed to discover that there
were four children, eighteen grandchil
dren and seven great grandchildren. All,
thought |, now we have it! The COM
bincd number of these is 80; and 30 goes
into i16-goes into 11G-about twenty
tour or twenty five times. What then :?
Should !, by making each of the COM
bined nearly twenty five years old, rob the
grandtathers and grandmothers of two
thirds of their natural lives, and make
the baby great grandchildren exceedingly
backward for their age? or should calcu-
late the thing upon common sense basis,
and allow a difference Of about twenty
years to each generation? Absurd! /
scorned to do either. It's case for the
Lightning calculator in his dotage!
Again, we sometimes hear of a pew full
of elderly citizens whose united ages, we
are told, amount to, say 400 years. What
of it? What good does it do? Are we to
understand that there were six hoary in
dividuals in the pew each Of them,
crowned with sixty-siX years and eight
months? Probably not Were there
three each of them about hundred and
thirty three last Christmas? Preposter-

at once. Undoubtedly they We're Just
eighty years old apiece; or if not, they
ought to have been, or else seated them
selves in separate pews, and not disturbed
the meeting by suggesting arithmetical

furious. If ii is done at all, it should be
done thoroughly, and on grand scale.

Political Justice to Jews in Italy.

THE Kingdom of Italy has at last done
full political justice to the Jews. The
two Jewish politicians whose names are
included among the last batch Of twenty
four Senators just created, owe their
| recognition respectively to the Right and
| the Left for Signor Artom, Piedmon-
! tese by birth, who was attached to the
Foreign Office under Cavour and Visconti-
Venosta, was raised to the Senate on the
recommendation of Mlnghetti, though
the royal decree had not been published
when the late Cabinet went out of office.
The Depretis Ministry might, if they
had pleased, have suppressed the nomina-
ton, but they resolved to give it effect,
naming Signor Massarani at the same
time. According to the Roman correspon-
dent of the Tines, both the Jewish Sena-
| tors arc of some political and literary dis
tnction. Signor Artom holds the diplo
matte rank of Minister Plenipotentiary,
and is the author of the work entitled
"Guvres Parlementaires de Cavour,n
published in Paris in 1862.
Signor Massarani is Secretary of the
Provincial Council of Milan, in which
city he was born He is an ex-Deputy.
and when in Parliament sat on the Right
but voted independently of his party. He
is the author of two volumes, entitled,
"Studj sula Letteratura, Arte, Politica e
Storia." 1t is stated that there are eleven
|
uties, and these, with the two new Sena-
tors, give very fair representation to the
