How to Get an Apnetite.

To a man or woman without an appetite
"the best the market affords" presents little
or no attractions. The sooner such hap.
less individual puts the gastric organ in q
condition to enjoy the edible comforts which
bountiful providence has provided, the
more reason there will be to feel grateful for
the suggestion, To do this, invigorate the
stomach with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which will enable that organ to digest prop,
erly, and, since good digestion is the parent
Of appetite, give birth to desire for food at
the intervals appointed by nature With
chronic want of appetite are usually ASSOCIATE
ed nervousness, biliousness and constpa-
tion, three evils which are speedily overcome
by the Bitters. All persons ofadyspeptic or
bilious tendency should use this healthful
tonic daily, or atleast three or four times a
week. Apursuance of this course will soon
insure and confirm a radical change for the
better in the condition of the stomach and
associate organs.

KISSING DAY IN Russn.---A curious
Easter custom prevails among the Rus
SLAMS of all grades of society. The fash
ion is to present an egg to a friend the
first time you meet him or her-most gen.
orally aftertwelve O'Clock on Easter
night. " The one who presents the egg
exclaims: "Christ is risenr' The Other
answers: "Is he risen, indeedw and
three kisses follow. Of course the sec,
ond one has generally an egg to present
in return. ra'I
TimiG swains eagerly take advantage
Of this custom to obtain the privilege
of embracing some fond objectg whom
they would otherwise, be too bashfull tc
approach. These eggs are Of all kind:
some simple hens eggs, gilded, or sill
vered, or coIored; red, blue, or violet
some sugar eggs, embelhshed with al
kinds of fanciful, designs. There, art
also fdiminutive gold, marble, or simple
wooden eggs; others are large enough tt
serve as ladies' travelling, bags; or they
may be placed on stands to serve as {
useful ornament; hens may sit on nes
full of bonnon eggs; and some may bc
fitted up inside with a set of children'
toys. There are eggs, in fact, arranged
in every imaginable manner, and made
out of every imaginable material.
On this day hundreds of thousands o
these change hands in st. Petersburg

chase must be prodigious. .I.I-..

CARRIER DovEs.-These useful birds
increase in value with each new develop
ment of their usefulness. The latest ap-
plication of the "homing" faculty, as il
Is called, of this bird, is the establishment
of communication between lightships
and the Shore at times when it is i'm
possible to convey intelligence by any
other method. The maratime code of
signals is taken advantage of, and two or
three letters are stamped on the wing,
intimating the nature of the assistance
required. The bird is then let loose, and
makes its way to its haunts on shore. BY
this means many shipwrecked mariner
may be saved from death. In a great
many cases "pigeon service" might be
made to supercede the electric telegraph.
This would but be reviviDg the practice
of the great stockholders at the begin
ming of the century. During the war re-
lays of pigeons were kept along the road
from Paris to London, so that these
speculative gentlemen obtained the earli-
est news of the course of events. The
carrier-pig came into special prom
inence during the late siege of Paris;
letters photographed ON the minutest
scale were carried to and fro by its means.
The Prussians could not intercept the
birds, and ended by adopting the sys-
TEN themselves. At the present time
every fortress and fortified town in Ger
many is provided with hocks of trained
pigeons, by which means communications
could be sent into town, if invaded by a
hostile force.

Trade Prospects in New York.

The New York Times prefacesa careful
review of the feeling, condition and pros
poets of the different branches of trade
in that city with the following re-
marks:-
When, last fall, business men were in
vited to say what the prospect in trade
was for the immediate future, they were
full Of confidence that "the bottom had
been reached" and that new era of
prosperity was about to begin. 1t did
not begin, however, Immediately, and the
winter, to most of them, was one of des-
pondency. Since then very slight gen.
eral improvement has taken place, and
the condition and prospects are given as
they appear to the merchants themselves.
10 the grain trade there is great hope of u
good time coming with the immense
crops from the West, and there is q
steady, bealthful growth in the produce
and grocery trades, which encourages
men who are satisfied with small profits
The volume of business done by grocers
is larger up to this time than it was at a
corresponding date last year; the cloth
ing manufacturers are feeling small, but
good inquiry for their wares there has
been, and is animation among the boot
and shoe manufacturers, and the hatters
say they have not done so much business
for many years. Hard as the times are
called, the piano makers have had good
business, and the dry goods trade reports
Indicate an improvement of from 30 to 80
per cent. in leading houses. There is not
50 much disposition to day as there was
last August to make sanguine predic-
nons but the conviction is strong upon
business men that they will keep the
ground they have recovered and con-
tlnue to do fair business with moderate
returns. "a taJraa4 at asa.
