young girls toward the young men who
are not lover1 but simply friends. let

Of asking, directly or indirectly, the ntlen.

STOCHS-StOck speculation opened with
less activity and buoyHncy than yesterday
and during the greater part Of the morning
the market was feverish and unsettled
and iluctuating. After noon strong tone
prevailed and there was quite an advance
in all leading shares The opening prices
declined to ~ per cent, which was fol-
lowed by an improvement Of Il to . per
cent. Later there was reaction Of !, to
IL per cent, and ut the second board there
was an advance 4 TO 3 per cent. The up.
ward movement to-day was quite general,

DR.. c. McLANE'S
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS,
FOR Tm1 CURE or
llepatitis or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.

Symptoms Of Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under tho
edge ofthc ribs, incrcascson pres-
cure; sometimes the paints in the left
side; the patient is rarely able TO lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shouldcr-bladc, and
it frequently extends to the top of
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis-
taken for 4 rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss Of
appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general are Costivc, sometimes alter
native with lax; the head is troubled
wiihrain, accompanied with a dull,
heavy sensation in the back part.
rciSgencrally considerable loss
ofmemory,accompanicd withapain-
fal sensation Of having left undonc
somcthingwhich ought to have been
done. A slight, dry cough is some,
times an attendant. The patient
complains ofwcarincss and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet arc cold
or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation Of the skin; his
spirits arc low; and although he is
satisfied that excrciscwould be bcne-
fetal 10 him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitudc enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every rem.
cdy. Several Of the above symp-
toms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few Of them OK,
listed, yet examination Of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER 10

WATERING SHIPS IN NID.ocEAN

NJ. Toselli. that exceedingly prolific
inventor OF diving machines and wreck
raising apparatus. proposes the very
original idea Of utilizating the springs
of fresh water which are known to
find their outlets on the bottom of seas
in order that vessels may always
obtain il constant supply ofpnre water
even when III mid-ocean. His mode
of putting the notion into practice
sounds easy enough: but we doubt
whether it will prove SO simple when
| it comes to be tried. The first thing
to do is to find the springs; and that,
we should imagine, would resemble a
search for extremely small needles in
a colossal haystack. But NJ. TOshlli
thinks that they can be found-the
springs, not the needles and he says
it only remains to secure tubes to the
outlets, of sufficient length to reach
the surface, buoy them of course, and
there are inexhaustible wells always
available. There are some minor
difficulties of the tubes, being carried
away by storms or ocean currents;but
these. as well as those pertaining tt
the discovery, the indefatigable in
ventor tells the French Academy Q.
Sciences he has overcome. We hope
he has.
The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1877-05-31

be drought back to himself by
ordinary means, and the savage wit
ness such effects, and, recalling his
dream experiences, belief was that the
second self has gone away for time
beyond recall. Some time afterwards
there is like prolonged insensibility,
and then revival, and another silence
as to what has happened in the inter-
val; on the third time, the absent
something does not return.
Similar in the SuddenneSS with
which it commences, but otherwise
dissimilar, is the state Of insensibility
called catalepsy. Instantaneous loss
of consciousness is followed by state
i'm which the patient presents the air
of a statue rather than that Of an ami
mated being" and control of the
members is lost. There is no recOl-
lection of occurrences during the at
tack; and interpreting the facts
according to their primary meanings,
the wandering other self will give no
account of it's adventures. The Chip
pewas, believing in the journeying of
souls, think that those of persons in
trance, s'being refused passage,
return to their bodies and reanimate
them
There is still another state of insen-
sibility which has shown itself
repeatedly of late among persons who
have been profoundly impressed by
the religious revivals. We refer to
ecstasy; in which the subject shows
that he is mot him SELF and seems
10 have vivid perceptions of things
elsewhere. During this state. in
which the muscles are often
rigid. and there is total sus-
pension of voluntary motion; visions
of an extraordinary nature occasional
" occur. These phenomena tend to
strengthen the primitive belief that
each man is double. All the various
phases Of coma. from a state OF slight
drowsiness up to permanent and pro-
found stupOr, are similarly interpreta-
hlp.
; 1t will he seen, from Mr.. Spencer s
reasoning before given. that the sup
position peculiar to the savage is not
: witohut some Justification; and ii the
prevalence Of a hypothesis is any sup
, port, this is certainly one most widely
'. extended. The Fijian may sometimes
: be heard to bawl out Justly to his own
!. soul to return to him. Among the
: Karens. man is constantly in feal
= lest his other self should leave him
: sickness or languor being regarded a!
: signs of it's absence. Among TIT
: northern Asiatic tribes. diseas'
= is ascribed to the souls depar
= ture. BY the Algonquin Indians,
q sick man is regarded as having M
shadow unsettled or detached
from his body Like Interpretation
are met with among the Australian
and Tartars. A remarkable instance
e of the survival of the primitive ide
n that the soul leaves the body during
o sleep is instanced among certain Jew
l. ish sects: where the prayer o.
Al awakening is one of thanks for tn
r return of the soul, and an immediat

ON VEClTARIANISM

A discussion on this subject took
place at recent meeting of the Med
ical Society Of London. True veg
etarians, it was urged. eat neither
butter, eggs. nor milk.
Sir Joseph Fayrer related his expe-
rience of the effects of this diet among
the natives of India, and said he had
no doubt that people could live on
vegetables alone. He had seen some
of the finest specimens Of the human
race, as regards strength, power OF
endurance, and physical development,
among the inhabitants Of the north
west provinces of India. who were
pure vegetarians; but he accounted
for their condition from the fact that
their food consisted chiefly of legumi.
nous seeds. such as peas. beans, and
the like. which contained larger
amount of nitrogen than other vegeta
bles.
The President. DR.. Buchanan, re
marked that in the discussion severa
factors should enter-as age, which
was considerable element, as nc
doubt people advanced in years appear
to thrive on vegetable diet, whereas
children require almost pure anima
diet. Again. climate WAS grea
factor; and in the treatment of diseas'
lit could be strongly advocated; while
lastly and chiefly, temperance must b.
strictly enforced. avoiding excess il
animal food, and taking, in fact,
middle course.
