There are many reputed remedies for
that very prevalent disease, Chronic Nasal
Catarrh, but none which have given general
satisfaction and become acknowledged
standard preparations, except DIR. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. IL continues to enjoy an
unprecedented popularity. This reputation
has been earned through the permanent
cures which il has wrought, having proved
itself a specific in the worst forms OF the

BurlingtOn's Babies.

Little Tatty, whose parents live on
North hill, is the sweetest, brightest lit
tie tid-toddler of four short summers,
who says the cutest, funniest things, in
the brightest way, you ever heard. The
other day her father came in from the
wood shed, where he had been giving the
wood-sawyer some instructions, and her
mother was sitting in low rocking
chair, half arm, one of those chairs the
ladies love to sew in, and her Aunt Jen-
ME had just opened the door of the bird
cage to let the merry little canary, as
bright and restless as Tatty herself,
fly out and exercise its dainty wings
around the sitting-room. Little fatty
had been playing very quietly by her
self, with her dollies, and picture books,
and building blocks scattered all around
her. Suddenly--it sounds almost like a
made-up story, but Tatty's own mother,
a very sensible woman, not at all given
to seeing marvellously smart and Won
derful qualities in her own children, as
most mothers are, Tatty's own mother
told it us with her own lips; suddenly
she and mind you, nobody had said u

she hadn't noticed her father as he came
in at the door and now saw him for the
first time; suddenly she scrambled--and
her aunt Jenny says if she was to live a
thousand years she doesn't believe she
could ever forget syllable of it; sud
denly she scrambled to her feet, and
without ever looking at her father said :
"Mamma, 'ant (want itty Qittle)

Education of Women.

The latest advices from India report
that the university of Calcutta, one OF
the most important in the world, has
resolved to admit female students both
to the lectures and to degrees on the
same terms with males. After the de-
bate in the council the motion was car
ried with only one dissentient voice
that of the Roman Catholic Father
Lafont 1t is regarded as certain that
the two universities next in importance
in India-Madras and Bombay-will at
once follow the example OF Calcutta.
The concession involves not only regular
but medical degrees, and the reform
promises to introduce relief into those
zinanas from which men and all scientific
treatment have been so long vigorously
excluded, that they are for suffering
women mere chambers of torture or liv-
ing sepulchres. 1t is not a very pleasant
reflection that in this direction of social
civilization India bids fair to outrun
America, and the "heir of all the ages
have to follow slowly after the nation
nearest to the cradle of the Aryan race.
In Spain, also, the new "Institution libre
de Ensenanze' is teaching women. In
this country women have now a pretty
fair chance to study and obtain degrees,
though they are still shut out from most
of the lecture rooms in which the best
teachers are employed. This country
has not yet attained to the idea thai
young ladies may associate with young
gentlemen as innocently in the class
room as in the ball room. There is
something so sensual in mathematics
such indictments to Irritation in grammar
so much sin in syntax, that our college
faculties hesitate TO admit in study the
proximities so obviously harmless in the
theater and the waltz. But Mr.. Bennett
who has undertaken to champion in this
country the plan of co-education, tells
me that he has been astonished to fine
that it has been going on in several parts
of England for many years. In one ex
cellent school, kept by the Misses Lushing
ton, in Hampshire, young persons o
both sexes-in all teens-have been re
ceiviug education for the past twenty
years.--M d. Con,cay IN Cincinnati

Habits of the Arctic Owl.

One of these was brought by pupil to
nv lecture room in November. 1t was a
fine fellow, but was badly hurt by the
shot. 1t was given in charge of young
friend, who, as a bird-artist, knew the
worth of his prize. He kept it in his
room, which served for studio and sleep.
The bird had the freedom of the room,
and became quite gentle, permitting it
self to be fondled. One night it persist
ed in getting on its masters bed. This
the jealousy of the hunting dog could not
stand, and every time the bird flew on the
bed the dog jumped on and fought it off.
At last the young man told the dog to
keep quiet, when the bird came again, and,
squatting by the side of its owner, kept
still for the whole night. 1t was a great
feeder. A weasel which the youth had
meant to mount was stolen and devOured
by the bird. Muskrats, rabbits, and birds,
all went the same way; and to see him
dine was droll sight. He would open
wide his great brassy optics, then insert
his beak into his prey, then shutting his
eyes excrutiatingly tight, would lift his
head high, and guIp down whatever he
had detached-all of which would be ex-
ecuted in the most grotesque batrachian
style; for, who ever saw frog swallow
an insect but that he went it blindl Oc-
casionally it was let out upon the snow.
This was indeed luxury, it was so like
home; and the bird would swallow the
snow in mouthfuls. A fine owl is this
Arctic bird 1t will smite ducks and
grouse on the wing, like "a falcon; will
swoop upon hare on the ground, and
dart at fish in the shadows; and it does
most of its hunting by day.-Popular

MODERN JERUsALEM.-These are flus h
times for the building trade at Jerusalem.
A correspondent of the London Times
says that new blocks meet the eye every
where; along the Jaffa road, and on both
the north and west sides of the city, eX-
tensive buildings are in course of cree
ton; and even within the walls, near to
the reputed tomb of David, another large
group of tenements is being built. These
new buildings are designed as houses for
Jews of different nations, and are erected
by societies, to be let or sold in tenements
of two rooms each. The poor are to be
provided with homes for given time
rent free, and those who are able are to
be permitted to purchase their habita-
tons by periodical payments on princi-
Piles similar to those of English building
societies. Until a recent date the Jews
in Jerusalem had their quarter, as in
many continental cities; but they have
now the utmost freedom to purchase prop
erty wherever they can get it, to build
where they can obtain sites, within or
outside the city walls, and to locate them
selves wherever they can find residences
This freedom is causing great increase
to the Jewish population of the humber
classes.

To TRAIN BOYs.-Owing to their home
education, and the fondness and often I'M
wise indulgence of doating female rela-
tives, nineteen youths out of twenty enter
life with a surplusage of self-conceit. The
sooner they are relieved the better. If,
in measuring themselves with wiser and
older men than themselves, they
discover that it is unwarranted, and
get rid of it gracefully and of their own
accord, we'll and good; if not, it is de-
sirable, for their own sakes, that it should
be knocked out of them. A boy who is
sent to large school soon finds his level.
His will may have been paramount at
home; but school-boys are democratic in
their ideas, and if arrogant, he is sure to
be thrashed into a recognition of the
golden rule. If worthy of being leader,
he will soon be installed into the position
of a LEADER if not, whatever his opinion
of his abilities, he will be compelled to
fall back into the rank and file. By the
time that he has found his legitimate po-
sition, the probability is that some disa-
greeable traits of character will be soft
ened down and worn away Most likely
the process of abrasion will be rough,
very rough, but when it is all over, and
be begins to see himself as Others see him,
and not as reflected in the mirror of self
conceit, he will be thankful that he has
run the gauntlet, and arrived through by
rough road of knowledge.

Cures Effected by Laughter.

Laughter has often dissipated diseases
and preserved life by sudden effort OF
nature. We are told that the great Eras.
mus laughed so heartily at satIical re-
mark that he broke tumor and recov-
cred his health. Joubert gives two sim
liar instances. Another story is that of d
minister who was called on by poor WON.
an to see if he could save sick COW. TIC
appease her importantly he went to the
barn and repeated as an incarnation three
times the words, "If she gets well she
will get we'll" Some time after the
minister was sick with tumor in the
throat, when the poor woman forced her
self into what was supposed to be the
chamber of death reciting, eff he gets
we'll he will get we'll" The reperform-
ance of his own absurd act caused the
sick man to burst out in such a hearty
laugh that the tumOr broke and he soon
regained his health.
A patient being very low the physician
who had ordered dose of rhubarb, coun-
fernandez it, and the medicine was left
on the table. A monkey in the room
jumping up, discovered the goblet, and,
having IdSlCu, uldOC d tclIIllC
Again putting his tongue to it, he per-
ceived some sweetness of the dissolved
mama, while the rhubarb had sunk to
the bottom. Thus emboldened he swal-
lowed the whole, but found it such a nau-
seous potion that after many strange and
fantastic grimaces, he ground his teeth in
agony, and in violent fury threw the
goblet on the floor. The whole affair was
so ludicrous that the sick man burst into
repeated peas of laughter, and the re-
covery of cheerfulness led to health. An
other case recorded is that two individu-
ais were lying in one room very sick
one with brain fever and the other with
an aggravated case of the mumps. They
were so low that watchers were needed
every nis hit, and it was thought doubtful
if the one sick of the fever would recover.
A person was engaged to watch one
night, his duty being to wake the nurse
whenever ii became necessary to take the
medicine. In the course of the night
both watcher and nurse fell asleep. The
man with the humps lay watching the
clock, and saw that it was time to give
the fever patient his potion. He was un-
able to speak loud or move any portion
of his body; but, Selling pillow, he
managed to strike the watcher in the
face with it. Thus suddenly awakened,
the watcher sprang from his seat, falling
to the floor and awakening both nurse
and fever patient. The incident struck
both sick men as very ludicrous, and they
laughed most heartily at it for fifteen or
twenty minutes. When the doctor came
in the morning he found the patients
vastly improved-s he had never known
so'sudden turn, and they both got well.

THE Hollanders invested largely in our
government bonds during the war of the
rebellion, and while the English were
wasting their money on Confederate Sc
curities, gained rich returns for their con-
fidence in the ability of our government
to maintain its integrity. Now that the
five-twen,ies are being called in, the
shrewd Dutchmen think they do better
than to reinvest 10 the four and half
per cents. at more than double the price
they paid for the .oan that is now being
called in. They think they can realize a
larger profit by purchasing the greatly
deprecated bonds Of Russia. 1t is pos
sible that they may be too sharp for their
own good this time, but Russia, thus far,
has always paid the interest on her debt,
and if she comes off victorious in her
war against Turkey, oil her securities
will materially enhance in value.-Cin-

AN ORIENTAL CoNJURING TRIP.-Sit'
ting cross-legged on the floor was con
ju,er. He had large white sheet
spread on the floor, and on this he per
formed all his tricks; and although the
room was we'll lighted with lamps, he had
at his own request, lighted candle on the
floor at his side. He amused us for a
long time with various tricks more OF
less clever, but the best of all was the
ring trick. He asked to be supplied
with rupee and ring, saying he would
make them dance; we agreed to his re-
quest, and gave one of my rings. He
first held the rupee in his hand for about
two seconds only, waved it over his head
and around the lighted candle, and threw
it about two yards or more in front OF
him on the sheet; he then took the ring,
waved that also, and pretended to listen
to something it said. He then an
nouncei that if it was his fate (kismet)
to keep the rupee, the ring would bring
it to him. He put the ring in front of
him on the sheet, and, taking up his lit
tie tom tom, began to play and sing his
weird music; presently the ring began to
dance in time to the music, and finally
walked and danced right across the
sheet, caught hold of the rupee, and
brought it back in triumph, and amidst
much applause, to the conjurer. All who
were present were intent on finding out
how the tricks were done, but the clever
ness of this one baffied all.

LABoR's DEMANDs.-There was an e.
citing scene in the State Assembly at AL
bany, N. Y, the other day, on the question
of the passage of the appropriation bill
for million Of dollars to complete the
capitol building. Workingmen had been
given to understand that the bill would
be passed even if the Governor vetoed it..
When the roll was called the necessary
two-thirds vote to override the veto was
found wanting. The crowd in the CALLER
les yelled against those who voted against
the workingmen's interests, and some
members appearing outside several were
beaten and driven back by the yelling
crowd, and were obliged to escape by the
rear door to their hotels. A large body of
police arrived subsequently, and drove
the crowd from the capitol and from the
Governors house, which was threatened.
A large crowd then went to the Dalavan
House and other hotels, threatening TO
mob members, and in some cases squads
followed members to their rooms in the
hotels, threatening vengeance by work
ingmen. Finally the police in great
numbers managed to disperse the mob.
