Prof. TyndaII's Warming.

In concluding an address to the students Of
University college Nondon), Prof. Tyndall, who
is unquestionably one of the most indefatlgable
brain workers of our century, said: "Take care
of your health. Imagine Hercules as oarsman
in rotten boat what can he do there but by
the very force of his stroke expedite the ruin Of
his craft. Take care Of the timbers of your
boat" The distinguished scientists advice is
equally valuable to all workers. We are apt to
devote all our energies to welding the oars
our strokes fall firm and fast but few of US
examine or even think Of the condition of our
boats until the broken or rotten timbers sud
denly give way and we find ourselves the vic
Tins of a calamity which could have been easily
avoided by little forethOught. What began
with slight fracture, or perhaps even care
less exposure to disorganizing influences, ends
in the complete wreck of the lifeboat. The dis
ease which began with slight headache or an
undue exposure to cold terminates in death
unless its progress is checked and the disease
remedied. The first symptoms, the heralds of
disease, give no indication of the strength of
the on-coming foe and the victim trusts that
his old ally, Nature, will exterminate the inva-
der. But Disease is an old general and accom-
plshes his most important movements in the
night time, and some bright morning finds him
in possession of one of the strongest fortifca-
tons and when he has once gained a strong
hold in the system, Nature ANONYMOUSLY turns
traitor and secretly delivers the whole physi-
cal armOry to the invader. Like the willy poll
tician, Nature is always on the strongest side,
and the only way to insure her support is to
keep your vital powers in the ascendant. Keep
your strongest forts-the stomach and liver
well guarded. Do not let the foe enter the ar
terial highways, for he will steal destroy your
richest merchandise and impoverish your king
dom. To repulse the attacks Of the foe you can
find no better ammunition than DR.. Pierce's
Family Medicines. Gull directions accompany
each package) His Pleasant Purgative Pellets
are especially effective in defending the stomach
and liver. His Golden Medical Discovery for
colds. If you wish to become familiar with the
most approved system of defense in this war
fare, and the history of the foes method of in
vasion, together with complete instructions for
purifying the blood and arresting coughs and
keeping your forces in martial order in time of
peace, you can find no better manual of these

A Lady's Millinery Bill.

A case of considerable interest to
fashionable mOdistes doing business with
the fair upper tendon of the metropolis
was tried before a jury in the marine
court of New York. The plaintiff,
Nine. Ernestine Chevalier, French
modiste and importer of French goods
required in her peculiar line of business,
sued Mrs. Hannah r. Kohnstamm, of
Fourteenth street, for goods furnished
and dresses made and supplied, claiming
therefore 81, 10000 balance of larger
sum. The plaintiff testified that the de-
PENDANT visited her place of business in
September, 1876, and ordered some
goods to the amount of over $50; that
these goods were sent as directed, with
instructions to the messenger not to
leave the same if not paid for at the
time, or satisfactory reference gwen
The goods were not accepted by Mrsi
Kohnstamm, who next day called on
Nine. Chevalier and stated that she was
temporarily in the city awaiting a set
tlement of her deceased husbands es-
tate, that if she had supposed reference
was required she could give every salts
faction in that line, and she exp pressed
her own ability to pay for anything that
she required; that she had an income
besides expectancies in her own right,
and house in Amity street. Plaintiff
testified that she, upon these representa-
tons, furnished other costly supplies of
ladies wear to the defendant, itemizing
them in long account, which was
sworn to in court. Here are some of the
items: One bonnet, silver trimmed,
$65; two chemises, 500; a set of mo-
saique, $3.50; two handkerchiefs, $40; q
satin trimmed cloak, $115; one robe de
chambre, trimmed with satin and torchon
lace, $175; hat, trimmed with silver and
plume, $50; baby's cloak, $40; one slate
colored silk and velvet costume, 1915;
white CRANBERRY gauze dress, $65, and
long list of smaller but all costly arti-
cles, amounting in all to $1,S15. These
goods were all furnished during October
and November, the first bill for $50 be-
ing incurred on the thirtieth of Septem-
Der. Three payments had been made
amounting to 1855, leaving the balance
due and now sued for $1,360. The de-
Tense set up did not deny the purchase
of the goods as stated in the complaint
but admitted that the account was true
and just except as to one item-the slate
colored silk and velvet costume, 1916
Which defendant contended she pur-
chased for $500, and disputed the over
charge of 1915. The principal defense
was that the goods were bought and
sold on running account which would
not expire until April, 1877-it being
understood that the defendant should
from time to time as she felt able make
payments thereon until the expiration Of
said credit. Upon this state of facts the
case was given to the jury, who, after q
brief absence, came into court with Q
verdict for the plaintiff in the full sum
with interest.

Washington-people who are always

while the anxious visitor sets forth the
advantages of his dwelling, its aristo-

CHICAGO, January 4, 1871.
To the Editor of the Inter- Ocean:
There Is one fact that seems to be
overlooked among the possible causes
given for the recent railroad disaster
and that one is atmospheric pressure.
We are all familiar with the fact tina,
a storm is announced by falling of the
column of mercury in the barometer
The more severe the storm, the more
rapid and greater the fall A bridge
tested by six locomotives when the bar.
ometer marked 81 degrees might not
show the least strain, but when the bar
ometer column had fallen three inches,
to %, might give way and precipitate
the whole into the abyss. During severe
storms the pressure Of the atmosphere
is even greater. Then, if we take into
account the fact that the wind blows in
a circle toward the storm center we can
understand how the atmospheric press
ure may be very great at that center
Then, if the storm is snow storm, and
passing up valley, the weight of the
atmosphere must be very great indeed
Now add TO all this the fact of moving
heavy train directly against the storm,
and We have a scientific explanation OF
the circumstance of the Astabula bridge
falling on that particular night. Under
such circumstances that train should
have been divided
