The mortuary statistics of the whole civilized
world show that about one fifth of ell mankind
die Of consumption alone, and the number of
deaths due to consumption bears greater
ratio to the whole number than that of any
other three diseases together. Moreover, iu-
vestigation proves that this ratio is steadily in
creasing. 1t increasing prevalence has led to
the popular belief that consumption is incur
able. Every year hundreds of these sufferers
SEEK in the sunny retreats of Florida or the
dry atmosphere of Colorado, for health-and
find only grave. The influence of the atmos-
phere--the only remedial agent that either
Florida or Colorado can afford the consumptve
is at best only pdltidtice. The cure of con-
sumption depends upon two essential conditions:
LIST, the arrest of the abnormal breaking down
Of the tissues, which prevents emaciation
and 2nd, the restoration of healthy nutrition,
in order to stop the formation of tuberculou
matter. Fulfill these conditions, and consump-
tion is as durable as fever. To fulfill these con-
ditions the required remedy must increase the
appetite, favor the assimilation of food, aud
envich the blood, thus retarding the develop
powerful altertive than DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery has never been discovered.
At the same time it soothes the irritation of
the nervous system produced by violent cough
ing, which in its torn SO often leads to moi c
serious results. The use Of " expectorants u
in consumption is absolutely suicidal. Fol-
while removing the tnbercles already formed,
they produce yet more serious results by infam-
ing and destroying the sound and healthy it's
sues; Consumption requires remedy that will
soothe while it relieves harsh medicines but
add fuel to the flame that already threatens to
consume the system. The Golden Medical
Discovery fulils these conditions, and has
been pronounced the best remedy yet discov-
cred to alay and arrest consumption.

The Hamilton On. " Democratic
Republican has the following account of
recent wedding at the residence of one
of the clergymen in that village. The
reverend gentleman was sat home" to all
callers, and during the day gentleman
and lady called. They sat down and ac-
cepted the attentions of the minister,
who, well knowing their errand before
they announced it, was trying to make
them feel at home. After considerable
skirmishing, the candidate for groom
managed to tell the secret. They
wanted to be married. The clergyman
could do that for them, and do it he did,
then and there, in approved style. The
newly-wedded pair desired a certificate,
and that was duly made out, executed,
and delivered. Then came the fee.
"How much do you ask for the job p
asked the youth. The clergyman re-
piled that the amount was always left to
the generosity of the groom. "Well," "
said the groom, "times are very hard,
and money scarce, but guess can find
Fifty cents" So he fished in his pocket
awhile, and finally produced what he
called fifty cents, and handed it to the
pastor. Then the happy couple took
their leave. On looking at the change
received, the pastor found that one
piece which had evidently been taken
for ten cents WIS three-cent piece, and,
therefore, his fee had been reduced to
the magnificent sum of forty three cents.
Yet there was consolation even in that.
The certificate had cost but twenty-five
cents, so it left him a clean profit of
eighteen cents on the transaction.

Married in Haste.

A wedding as abrupt, if not as fantas-
tic, as Mr.. Wemmick's took place not
long ago at Marlboro on the Hudson.
During the afternoon a well-known resi-
dent OF the village called on the Rev.
DIR. Osbon and invited him to dinner
ut six O'Clock. "Bring q marriage GER
titicate with you," said the host we
may have wedding there tonight. I"
The doctor is discreet man, and did
as he was told. At his friends house he
met large company, and after dinner
was announced took his seat at the we'll
appointed table. The host undertook
to carve the turkey, but made such
bungling work of his duties that one OF
the guests was constrained to remark to
him: You should get married, then
your wife would teach you the proper
way to do these things" The host did
not deny the soft impeachment, but told
what manner Of woman he should like
for a wife ending by saying: "Now,
before we proceed further, 'spose we
take q vote rs to who T shall marry" "
The company entered into the canvass
with great hilarity, and after the vote
was taken it was declared that the host
was in duty bound to marry his house
Keeper, young anu Well-educated
lady who had presided over the estab-
lishment for more than year. The
young lady had stepped into the kitchen
to give some final directions to the cook,
and when she returned she was informed
OF the views OF the company. She was
completely taken aback, but after the
ladies had coaxed her to give her con-
sent, she placed herself in the hands of
her friends "Halloo let's get married
now /" exclaimed the host, with the i'm
perturJable Wemmick's self-possession.
The dinner was spended-indeed it
had scarcely begun the bride took off
her white apron the bridegroom
dropped his napkin the two were made
one ; the marriage certificate was signed;
and the company kissed the bride and
then sat down to dinner with first rate
appetite. The next day spinster in
the neighborhood, hearing what had
happened, raised her hands toward
Heaven and exclaimed in spirit of true
devoutness "How sudden there s no
tellin' whose turn IL come next"

Bound To be OheYed.

A breach of discipline in a public
school at Foster, MINI, led recently
TO an encounter on the floor, in
which the teacher was fogged by the
pupil whom he had undertaken to pun.
ish. The next morning the teacher
appeared upon the scene armed to the
teeth, and having laid on his desk big
bowie-knife, a huge club, an axe and a
large whip, glared at his pupils, and
began to sharpen his jack-knife on his
boot. The big boys winked at one
another, and the little girls stopped
whispering 4; and so overwhelming was
the effect of this formidable armament
that at signal from one of the ring
leaders there was rush for the door,
and helter-skelter retreat from the
school-yard. School was over for that
day.

Hydrophobia from a Cat Bite.

The Reading penn Times of late
date says: Laura Desch, daughter OF
Mr.. George Desch, of Macungie, Lehigh
county, aged twelve, was bitten in the
finger by pet Maltese cat six weeks
ago. The cat died next morning. The
child's finger healed up, and nothing
further was thought of the matter until
Saturday last, when the child began to
feel i'll. She continued to grow worse.
and on Sunday morning she showed un
mistakable signs of being afflicted with
hydrophobia. Foam gathered on her
lips, and her quick, frightened glances
at friends and strangers We're unmistaka-
BILE signs thather blood had been poisoned
by the bite from the cat. The young
girl suffered much pain and agony un-
til Sunday evening, when she expired.
The animal was mad when it bit the
child.

Regular Secretion Essential TO Health.
The regular secretion and flow OF the gastric
juices. and of the bile which the use OF Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters promotes, are effects,
which conduce materially to the restoration
of health, when the system is disordered.
Food is not digested in the dyspeptic stomach
because the gastric fluid is deficient supera-
bundant or vtiated the liver becomes con-
supply of bile is inadequate or misdirected,
The Bitters rectifies all this, and removes
every ill-consequence of non-assimiation and
bilious irregularity. furthermore, 1t stimu-
lates the action Of the kidneys, by which inn
purities are, SO to speak, strained from the
blood, and any tendency in the urinary or
gans to grow sluggish and disordered is coun-
teracted Whether it be used as a means Of reg
ulating gastric or bilious secretion, and reiev-
ing the overloaded towels, or to promote
complete. and therefore healthful, ur;nation,
Hostetter's Bitters may be relied upon with
confidence to accomplish the end in view.

An Ovation TO the Gar.

A New York Herald special dis
patch gives the following account of the
scenes which took place in st. Peters
burg recently upon the return of the
czar from the seat of war: The scene is
one that cannot be forgotten while the
present generation lives st. Peters
burg is early awake. All the reports
make it certain that the emperor will
arrive in the morning. Daylight finds
the city dressed in bunting and ever
green's. The streets are spanned by
triumphal arches at frequent intervals,
and bands of music parade. Everywhere
the lately sombre city presents glowing
evidences of thanksgiving and Joy.
Upon his arrival at the railway station a
tremendous ovation began. The pupils
of the conservatoire sang hymn Of
welcome and presented his imperial
majesty with crown of laurel, which
was accepted in a few happy chosen
words of thanks. Amid the roar of
artillery and the wild changing of bells
the emperor of the Russias drives to
Kazan cathedral Tiers of crimson seats.
erected in the open space in front of the
cathedral, are filled with prominent
citizens of the capital. Many people
have slept all night on the marble floor
OF the cathedral in order that they may
be there to see when the great moment
shall come. Peasant women and
princesses bend before the shrine to-
gether. The cathedral blazes with
splendor and light the affairs are aglow
with diamonds. Vast as the cathedral
is there seems no niche in which even
another waxen taper could be burned.
Accompanied by gladstone cheers, which
drown for the time the sobs in undertone
of mothers bereft of sons, wives mourn
ing for husbands, sisters wailing for
brothers-all lost on the battlefield
the doors are flung open. In solemn
majesty the emperor enters. The noise
is only partially hushed as the car
walks with solemn tread to the altar.
Suddenly the vast cathedral becomes
silent as q sepulchre. The czar advances
to the altar and kisses the Holy Virgin.
On his return to the floor of the ca
thedral the crowd breaks all restraint.
1t envelops him. The people fall down
and kiss his garments. So great is the
pressure that it is with great delay that
his imperial majesty can reach his car
riage. The emperor drives to the winter
palace amid the widest cheering of the
vast crowd which lines the entire road.
AL day long mrllttudes cheer before the
palace and soldiers hurrah at the bar
racks. The city glows with torches
until long after midnight.

Get the Genuine.

The genuine Dooley's Yeast Powder is sold
only in cans. Always refuse it if offered loose
or in bulk. 1t is the practice of many grocers
and dealers to keep cheap Baking or Yeast
Powder loose, and sell it for any brand that is
called for. We, therefore, caution purchasers
to see that they get it only in cans, under the
