Serve an Injunction on Disease,

By invigorating feeble constitution,
renovating a debilitated physique, and en-
riching thin and innutritious circulation
with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the finest,
the most highly sanctioned, and the most
popular tonic and preventive in existence.
1t strengthens the stomach, remedies torpor
of the liver and bowels and gives a health
full impulse to the secretive and discharging
functions of the kidneys and bladder. Not
only does it arrest and prevent the recur-
renee of malarial fevers, but it furnishes
the only adequate safeguard against them
to persons VINO have never been afflicted
with those maladies but would be liable to
incur them if incidentally unprotected. 1t
eliminates from the blood certain impurities
which the most skillful pathologists assign as
the most exciting causes of those agonizing
complaints, rheumatism and govt, and 1t is,
moreover, an excellent remedy for an en-
feebled or overweight state of the nerves,
and for mental dependency.

Hydrocyanci Poisoning by he Swal-
lowing of Peach Kernls.

A fatal case of poisoning oy peach
stones which has just occulrd in Paris
may serve as a warming to thee families
in which children are allowd 20 look
after themselves for hours togther. 1t
may be assumed that very few children
under the age, say, ten or twelve have
any idea that peach stones o. peach
blossoms are dangerous. They have
been shown the deadly night-Aale, and
probably the wild hemlock, AID have a
canny dread of them; but nlremaids
are not nearly as fond of pointing out
the peach tree as an object of horlor and
aversion. The victim of tie recent &C
cident in Paris had certainly not been
cautioned against the attractions of the
peach. He had developed, atthe tender
age of five and half, the faculty of
reasoning on inductive principles, and
he saw no reason to doubt tina as cherry
and apricot stones cOntaind eatable
kernels the nobler fruit had It least an
equally desirable treasure in is inmost
recesses. Accordingly he Sereted the
stones of a number of peaches which had
been sent to his mother from the country,
anu pOSoeSSlLS HILlSSIl VI IdMuItI,
when left alone broke them oper indus
triously and then set upon sold feast
to which he did hasty, but complete
Justice. The taste of the kernes was
rot perhaps on par with the expect
atiOns previously entertained, Int it
would be ridiculous to go through the
severe labor of cracking such hard hells
without entering into the frition
of the labor when once finished. S, the
unlucky child was found by his parent
on her return writhing in the grievous
agonies produced by prussic or hydro
cyanic acid. The arrival and Efforts of
the doctor were vain, and another item
had to be added to the long list of
/" deaths by imprudence." 1t isas well,
now that the season Of fall fnit has
arrived, to explain what extent Of pois-
oning properties is possessed oy the
peachstone. The writer's on txicoliogy
state that an ounce of the kennels con
tains about one grain of pure hydro
cyanic acid, and it is known that one
gain of the poison will almost O a GER
tainty kill any adult persol. Two
thirds of a grain has very ofen been
fatal, and, indeed, may be regahed as a
fatal desc for child.-Lond0n FJobe.

A Day Gone.

A noteworthy spot is Chatham Island,
lying off the coast of New Zealand. 1t
is one of the habitable points of the
globe where the day of the week changes.
1t is just in the line of demarkation be-
tween dates. There at high II Sunday
noon ceases, and instantly Monday me-
ridian begins. Sunday comes into a
mans house on the east side, and be-
comes Monday by the time it passes out
the western door. A man sits down to
his MONDAY dinner on Sunday, and it is
Monday noon before he finishes it. There
Saturday is Sunday and Sunday is Mon,
day, and Monday becomes suddenly
transferred into Tuesday. 1t is good
place for people who have lost much
time, for, by taking an early start, they
can always get day ahead on Chatham
Island. 1t took philosophers ard geog-
raphers long time to settle the puzzle os
where Sunday noon ceased and Monday
noon began, with man travelling west
fifteen degrees an hour, or with the sun.

A Death Grapple with Panther.

Last week hunter named Jacob Far
quarson, while passing through the for
est between White Fish lake and Black
Trout lake, near the head waters of the
Madawaska river, encountered a puma,
or American panther. While looking at
the remains of large upland cariboo he
heard noise at some distance off among
the tree-tops. Shortly after the sounds
were repeated, and on looking up he saw
a large animal leaping from tree to tree
toward the spot where he stood. He
was armed with Ballard rifle, and as
soon as the beast came near enough he
fired. The brute sprang from the tree
directly at him. In the meantime the
hunter had rapidly reloaded, and, having
jumped aside and behind large pine
before the Infatuated animal could re-
cover for a second spring, he gave it an
other bullet. Both shots had taken eff
feet, as it was afterwards discovered, but
neither in vital part. After the sec
ond shot the puma turned and darted
with roar at the hunter, who drew a
long, keen-edged hunting knife, and
with his back against tree awaited his
enemy. The enraged animal sprang at
him and fastened its long curved claws
into his shoulder. He drove the knife
repeatedly to the hilt into its breast.
Both came to the ground together, but
the struggle did not last long, for the
huge animal, weakened from the loss of
blood from the bullet and knife of Far
quarson, soon turned over dead. The
animal, which is rare in Canada now,
was one of the largest size, measuring
9 feet from the nose to the extremity of
the tail.-OttdtUo Free Press,

WHITE JASMINE.

White jasmine stretches far and wide,
Along the gray wallis southern side
lis graceful branches wreathe;
And winds of summer swee, and low,
Among its verdure and its snow,
Their tender music breathe.
The garden beds that once were gay
And fragrant all the summer dav,
Are empty and forlorn;
The hungry bees afar have flown,
The gravel walks are weed o'ergrowp
The trellis-rose is torn
Within the house each empty room
Is shut in silent, rayless gloom,
With cherries hearthstone cold.
No.pictures smile upon the wall,
No single trace is LETT Of all

But IN the southern sunshine bright,

with lips that speak Of sad unrest;
bunch OF daisies on her breast,
Aud Jasmine in her hands.

As strong, and deep-if not so pure
As this 81 thine to-day.
Yet let the daisies on thy breast,
Teach thee that life's securest rest,
In humble pal rs doth lie;
And let the jasmine in thine hand,
Whisper of fairer blossoms famed
BY sweeter airs on high.
Fear not TO muse when far away,
How Summer sunshine gilds each day
Those lonely garden bowers;
How sweetly vet the thrushes call,
How climb about the gray old wall,
Thine own loved jasmine flowers.
