Schenck's PulmOnic Syrup,
SEA WEED Tonic, AND MANDRAKE
PILLs.-These deservedly and popular
medicines have effected revolution in
the healing art, and proved the fallacy
of several maxims which have for many
years obstructed the progress of medical
science The false supposition that
Consumption is incurable" deferred
physicians from attempting to find rem
edies for that disease, and patients at
fiicted with it reconciled themselves to
death without making an effort to escape
from doom which they supposed to be
unavoidable. 1t is now proved, howev-
er, that Consumption can be cured, and
that it has been cured in a very great
number of cases (some of them appar-
entity desperate ones) by Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup alone; and in Other
cases by the same medicine in connec.

1T CAN BE CURED.

IT can be cured. There is no doubt
l. about it. The immediate relief af-
forded by SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE
FOR CATARRH is but a slight evidence
of what may follow persistent use of
this remedy. The hard, incrusted mat
ter that has lodged in the nasal passages
is removed with few applications; the
liberation and Inflammation subdued
and healed; the entire membranous lin

THE
NATIONAL DISEASE.
Is Tt Durable -?

TlHosE who have suffered from the
l. various and complicated forms of
disease assumed by Catarrh, and have
tried many physicians and remedies
without relief or cure, await the answer
to this question with considerable ankle
ty. And we'll they may; for no disease
that can be mentioned is so universally
prevalent and so destructive to health as
Catarrh. Bronchitis, Asthma, Coughs,
and serious and frequently fatal affec-
tions of the lungs follow, in many cases
a case of simple but neglected Catarrh.
Other sympathetic affections, such as
deafness, impaired eye-sight and loss OF
sense of smell, may be referred to as
minor but nevertheless serious results OF
neglected Catarrh, bad enough in them.

When we reached the roadstead where the castle in the air was anchored, the sun broke through the clouds, and we were assured by the Professor that we should have splendid view. After climbing into the car and taking our seats, the signal was given and slowly we began to leave the earth. There were the houses far below, presenting their roofs and their chimneys to break our fall in case of accident. The sad thought was that we should have to drop more than five hundred feet in a straight line before we could even Ian on 8 chimney. We did not seem to be going away from the earth, but the earth appeared to be dropping away from us. The carriages appeared small enough to hang on one's watch-chain for charms; and as for the human be- ipgs, the effect of our elevation was very peculiar. We saw them, of course, greatly fore-shortened. They seemed to be not more than foot or eighteen inches long. But when they walked we could see the full length of the stride. It was very curious sight men only foot long taking steps three feet in length. The old seve n-leagued boots seemed no longer a myth.
 Pretty soon I caught the Professor emptying huge sand bag.
 ''What is that for ?" I said.
 ''To go up higher" he answered.
 I looked at the little woman who sat beside me, and said, "Higher?"
 A nod in the affirmative.
 "There's pluck" I said in my heart; and in half minute we could look down on the entire town, and, indeed, upon such view we could hardly speak, so impressed were we with the magni- ficence of the great picture that lay far, far below us. To say that we enjoyed it, after the trepidation was over, is to speak in feeble language. Who would not enjoy sitting in the lap of friendly cloud, and looking down upon mi les of green pasture and throbbing towns?
 But all excitement must end; so we took an affectionate farewell of the upper air and of the mists that brushed by us, and soon stepped again upon the planet, glad to have been for once Cup above the world so high.''

WHAT KNOW YOU.

Oh you who read some songs that have sung, What know you of the soul from whence it
 sprung? Dost dream the poet ever speaks aloud His secret thought unto the thoughtless
 crowd ? Go take the pretty sea-shell from the shore You have it's shape, and color-but no more. It tells not one of those vast mysteries That lie beneath the surface of the seas. Our songs are shells-cast out by waves Of
 thought. Here-take them at your pleasure but think
 not
 You've seen beneath the surface of the waves Where lie our shipwrecks and our coral caves. -EHG Wheeler, in Frank Leslies Magazine

necessity of coorness tn Daneer.

Panic IS, Of course, one or the things against, which it is most easy to preach but which it is most difficult to preach dowrbt Still if it could be got into the heads of all the people in their cooler hours that, in case of an alarm of fire in theatre, the principal danger comes from themselves and is in their own control, it is probable that, even under the Influence of sudden excitement and fear, many who now would show bad example might then show a good one. Not very long ago sudden alarm took place in one of the best" of the Paris theatres. It was not alarm of fire, it was only a clattering and crashing among the branches, chains and lamps of the huge glass chandelier which hung from the roof. Those who were under the chandelier thought it was coming down upon them, and made wildly for the doors. The theatre was well enough constructed, and had many outlets, but in an instant some of the passages were completely damned and choked by ex- cited people. Luckily single instant was enough to allow one of the per- formers on the stage to see and explain the whole cause of alarm, and to con- vince the fugitives that there was no danger. The whole stampede was set goiug by the sudden pattering of hail. stones through an open window among the metal and glass of the chandelier. In that instant the alarm was but mo. mentary, and in many parts of the house was unobserved. Yet it was1evident to all cool observers that had it lasted, only few minutes longer and been allowed to spread, the passages and doors would have been hopelessly choked by panic stricken crowd, and some loss of life would most infalliblv have occurred.

A Frenchman on Borrowing.

"The borrower" A sketch by Au- relien Scholl, in L'Evenement: "The borrowing race is the noble race. A native pride. an instinct of sovereignty are apparent in the attitude of the bor- rover, He who lends is sad and thoughtful; the necessity of obedience is written on his brow. Born to be useful and to be used, he has in his aspect something humble and folorn contrasted signally with the constant good humor, the air of conquest, the amiable audacity of him that shears him. To the borrowing class belong all great Kings, ministers and women. From Alcibiades through Caesar and Mirabeau the brilliant successor des- cends to the last rulers of France, Spain and Turkey. Health smiles on the borrowers brow; his faith in Provi- dence is firm, and he is careless of the fluctuations of stocks. Meum and tuuna those sources of all human contentious and miseries, are pleasantly confound- ed in his eyes. The present has no care for him the future can have but little. The earth is his and the full ness thereof, and he has only to enter upon his estates. Destroying vain distinctions invented by legislators, the man that lives by borrowing re- wives the original idea of community. He alone knows how to live; he is the only aristocrat of the universe. ,

The Make-up of Long Island.-It is not questioned, we believe, that Long Island is terminal glacial moraine, and that the material of which it IS composed is the debris of regions over which the ice moved in it's progress to- wards the sea. It's underlying DOT tions are beds of laminated sands and clays which have been referred to peri ods antecedent to the advent of the ice, and which constitute in one sense 8 part of the island. It's great mass, however, overlies these beds, and pre- sents two general forms of structure. One is known as the "unmodifed bowl der drift," in which there are no strait fled beds; the other is the modified drift" or that in which the material has been distributed in layers chiefly by the action of waves. Much of the hill region of the island present the peculiar pell-mell structure of the one the stratifed gravels and sands of Southern Long Island are typical of the other. These differences in struc- ture, and other facts to be mentioned, imply great changes in the relative level of land and sea upon the coast.- Popular Science Monthly

SMOKY YSTovEs.-There is very simple way of avoiding the disagreeable smoke and gas which always pours into room when fire is lit in stove, heater, or fire place on damp day. Put in the wood and coal as usual; but, before lighting them, ignite a handful of paper or shavings placed on the top of the coal. This produces current of hot air in the chimney, which draws up the smoke and gas at once. Not one person in fifty even thinks of this easy eXDedient

BARLEY WATER PREFERABLE TO NH,

BARLEY WATER PREFERABLE TO MILK. A paper entitled "Observations on the Digestibility of Milk" read short time since in London by Dr. Garter, has attracted considerable attention. In this paper, Dr. Carter, as reported, dis cussed various methods which had been generally used with view of promoting the digestibility of milk, pointing out that their efficiency was essentially; due to the dilution of the caseine, @thus causing the precipitation, on it's intro duction into the stomach, in granular form, of what would otherwise be firm. bulky, and compact. He further showed, by experiment., that simple dilution with water is insufficient for this pur- pose, and that the object is far better attained by admixture of alkaline or starchy waters with the milk. Dr. Carter summed up by giving decided practical preference to barley water, and this conclusion he illustrated and supported by various experiments and by reference to cases within his pro- fessional knowledge.
