Nourishing Blood.

The blood imparts 10 the body the elements
which are essential TO its existence. When
these are insufiiciently supplied, its energies
be gin to flag, there is a loss of flesh, the mus
Giles grow haccid the relative powers lose
vigor-every function is disturb bed, every or
gan weakened. Under these circumstances,
1t is obvious that the constitution must soon
give way unless the vital fluid is enriched.
To accomplish this object recourse should be
had without delay to that grand fertilizer OF
the blood, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
promotes assimilation of the food and Ia the
means of rendering the circulation rich and
active. The good effects Of the great tonic
are speedily apparent in gain OF bodily vigor
and mental energy. regular action OF the
various organs also results from Its use, the
good work OF bodily reform goes rapidly on
and eventually health is established upon a
sure basis

THE general postmaster at Berlin, in
Germany, has received petition tiom
the society for Bird Protection, asking
that he shall make arrangements to save
birds from being killed 10y the pneumatic
post. 1t seems that from the large air
c, mpressing steam engines chimney
pipes lead up t. the root, and through
these the required air is sucked in. The
power of the suction apparatus is so
great that both small and large birds
which happen to be flying over the tubes
when the engine is in motion are drawn
down into the chimneys and destroyed.

A MOTHERS PREsCGENCE.-"IIer take
the pencil" were the dying words of
VIM. A. Shorter, late editor of the Rome
Courier Eli Shorter, his father, relates
that on the night of the death of his son
in Rome, his wife, at home in Eufala,
Alabama, awoke him asking the time OF
night, saying, willie is dead; | feel that
Willie is dead He looked, and found
it fifteen minutes past one by his time.
Our young friend died at ten minutes
past one 10y the time at Rome. Mrs.
Shorter knew Of her sons illness, but,
nevertheless, it is very strange that the
impression should have been vivid enough
just at the moment of his departure to
cause her to arouse her husband in order
to get the time of the ght.-Alanta
Constitution.

The Science of Naval Warfare.

A correspondent writing of a recent
reconnaissance of the Turkish fleet to-
ward Sebastopol, says: "Before conclud-
ing may say few words respecting the
admirable manner in which the concen-
tration of the enemy's fire was managed.
They had evidently adopted the 'Siemen's
by which the position of any vessel en-
tering harbor or the distance of any OBJ
ject in view can be ascertained at mo-
ment's notice. Two observers are re-
quired at the end of base line, and they
have merely to follow the motions of the
object, if moving, or bring it in the cen
ter of the field of their respective tele-
scopes. The observer at the one end has
his telescope affixed to table on which
is spread a chart of the harbor mapped
off into squares, each of which is num-
bered. The pedestal of his telescope
carries light pointer, either of glass or a
light, open, narrow frame. At the other
end of this table is II similar pointer, at
tached to machinery placed in small
box underneath, which is worked by cur
rents of electricity sent from an electo-
magnetic battery at the other station. The
moving of the telescope, in fact causes
the rotatory motion necessary for the in
duction of the electricity, and everything
is so adjusted that the movements Of this
telescope and of the pointer at the table
shall always correspond. When both the
telescopes are pointed at the same object
the pointers cross, and the scale of the
chart being in accordance with and in
proportion to the length of the base line,
the point of intersection naturally shows
the section of the harbor in which the
object is to. be found Similar maps be-
ing placed in all the forts and batteries,
it is very easy to communicate by flash
ing signals the number of the square in
which an enemy's ship happens to be, and
thus the range at each point can be ascer-
tanned, and the gun laid accordingly.
During the day when the sun is shining,
mirrors answer this purpose admirably;
and at night the flashing of a lantern will
equally well serve to telegraph the re-
CURED information"

Our BUTrER.-Statistics place the num-
Der of cows in the United States at IL,
100000 and credit them with product of,
in round numbers, 1,400, 100000 pounds
of butter. They were arrived at first by
an estimate made by an old and very in-
telligent butter merchant, who has given
much thought and careful study to the
subject, aud whose investigations led to
the following calculation: That of our
population, 5000, 900 would consume one
pound of butter each per week; 10000
would consume three quarters of pound
each; 10000 would consume one-half a
pound each, and 10000 would consume
one. uarter of pound each, making a
total cousumption of 1 100000, 900 by 35,-
600, 900 people. This, it is calculated, is
for table use alone, and one-third is add
ed for culinary purposes, giving an ag'
gregatc consumption of nearly 400 ,O00,'
600 pounds, the difference being made by
the exporis.-Home Journal.

The man who has been to the Black
Hills, says the Bismark Tribans, and re-
turned, is a big gun at the village drug
store, and feels called upon to tell the
truth when narrating his adventures.
Such a man, named Curt, was telling,
the other night, how many Indians he
had killed during his three months resi-.
dence in the Hills.
After he had talked half an hour, one
of the listeners, who had kept track of
the number killed, exhibited the figures.

killed 800 savages in three monthsm

Black Hitler. "Why, l believe you have

The Lady Freemason,.' :

This 10 story Of the girlish escapade
Of one who subsequently became Hon.
Mrs Aldworth, and who is known a.
the "Lady Freemason" the only lady
who ever attained that honor. A Free
mason's lodge was to be held at the
residence OF her father, Lord Doneraile
and with characteristic female impru-
dence and curiosity, she determined to
secrete herself andwatch the proceedings.
She found the door guarded, and being
unable,to make her escape, she fain ted
away4n terror. "Tbe members of the
lodge reassembled, and deliberated as to
what, under the circumstances, ought to
be done. For two long hours the wretch
ed girl listened TO To the angry discus
sion, and heard her death deliberately
proposed and seconded. IL is said that
she was only saved from immediate
death by the moving and earnest suppli-
cation of her younger brother. She was
given the option Of submitting to the
Masonic ordeal to the extent she had
witnessed, and IL she refused, the breth-
ern were again to consult" We feel,
however, considerable difficulty in be-
lieving that the Freemasons really
thought of committing murder; respect
for their own necks might have led them
to different conclusien.-LondoI So

What They Will do With II.

The six millions sterling which the
British Parliament voted for extraordi-
nary war expenditures are to be raised by
adding one penny in the pound to the in
come and property tax for three years.
Part of this sum is said to be destined
for the purchase of three ironclads in
course OF construction IN English ports
for the Turkish government. Two of
these are substantially complete, except
in armament, and have been surveyed by
the Admiralty experts, who are suppos-
cd to be good judges of ironclad war
steamers, and also by the Lords of the
Admiralty, some of whom have never
taken longer voyage than from Dover
to Calais. or from Folkstone to Boulogne.
One vessel has cost 81, SOC, 900; on second,
over half that amount has been expend-
ed. and the cost of the third. by no means
so near completion az its companions, is
not stated. In his present state OF m
pecnniosity the Sultan cannot pay the
sbipbuilders, who, of course, will be glad
to accept England as cash purchaser.
England, which alreauy has forty iron
clad war ships, varying from 3,232 to H.
1866 tons, does not want these three ships
that Turkey cannot pay for, but will pro-
badly buy them to prevent their pur-
chase by Russia, whose war navy Consists
of twenty seven ironclads In the Baltic
(now closed by the ice) and two in the
Black Sea.
