The Term Porte.

The term "Porte," which is used to
denote the administrative government
OF the Ottoman Empire, and includes
the Sultan the Grand Vizier, and the
great Council of State, had its origin IN
this way: In the famous institutes es-
tablished by the warrior-Sultan, Ma
homed H., the Turkish body polite was
described by the metaphor of stately
tent whose dome rested upon four pill
lars. "The Viziers formed the first pill
lar, the Judges the second, the Treas
urers the third, and the Secretaries the
fourth" The chief seat of government
was fguratively named "The Lofty
Gate of the Royal Tent" in allusion to
the practice of earlier .imes when the
Ottoman rulers sat at the tent door to
administer justice. The Italian trans
lation Of this name was ola Porto
Sublima.n This phrase was modified
in the English to the "Sublime Porte, "
and finally the adjective has been drop
ped, leaving it simply The Porte"

MYTHS Are but Symbols of Truth.

As the scholar sees in the vain but beautiful
mythologies of the ancientS the embodied eX-
pressons of the hungry human soul, Dllnuly
groping after the Infinite, so the physician
sees in that popular myth OF the sixteenth
century the fountain OF perpetual health ana
youth-an expression OF the longlngs OF SUI
fering humanity for remedy that should lE-
ever prevent the incurson OF disease Inc
wilds of Europe were ranSacked for this Won
derful fountain, and Ponce de Leon sOughtfo
it in the cypress-sWamps and tangled ever
glades of our sunny Florida. Men have
searched for it everywhere and anywhere but
where it really is-in the human body ltsell.
The blood is the real fountain OF perpetual
health and youth When this source is cor
rupted, the painful and sorrow producing Ell
fccts are visible in many shapes. The multi.
farious forms in which it manifests itself
would form subjects upon which l might write
volumes. But as all the varied forms OF as
ease which depend upon bad blood are cured,
or best treated, by such medlcines as take up
from this fluid and eXcrete from the system
the no1ious elements, it is not of practical i'm
portance that should describe EACH For in
stance, medical authors describe about fifty va
rieties of skin disease but as they all require
for their cure very similar treatment, 1t is OF
no practical utility to know just what name to
apply to a certain form Of skin disease, SO you
know how best to cure it, Then again, might
90 on and describe various kinds OF scroiulouS
sores, fever sores, white sWellings, enlarged
glands, and ulcers of varying appearance;
might describe how virulent poison may show
itself in various forms of eruptions, ulcers,
sore throat bony tumors, ETC.. but as all these
variouszappearing manifestations OF bad blood
are cured by uniform means, deem such
course unnecessary. Thoroughly cleanse the
blood, which is the great fountain of life, ana
good digestion, fair skin, buoyant spirits,
vital strength, and soundneSS OF constitution,
will all return to us. For this purpose Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Purga-
tive Pellets are pre-eminenty the articles
needed. They are warranted to cure tetter,
salt-rheum, scald-head, st. Anthony's fire,
rose rash or erysipelas, ring-worms piimples,
blotches, spots, eruptions, pustules, boils, ear
buncles, sore eyes, rough skin, scurf, scroiu-
!ous sores and swellings, fever sores, white
swellings, tumors, old sores or swellings, af--
fections of the skin, throat and bones, and
ulcers of the liver, stomach, kidneys and lungs.

Fatal Panic in a Circus-SeVeraI Per-
sons Killed and Many Injured.

The London Times of February 3 con-
tainS the following from Boulogne-sur-
Mer, February 4.
Calais is in a state Of gloomy excite
ment owing to an accident last night,
accompanied by heavy loss Of life, and
caused, there is much reason to fear,
from practical joking carried to a fool
ish extent. An Italian circus from Mi
Ian, belonging to Messrs. Priami & Pier
antOni, constructed of wood, and capa-
BILE of accommodating between 5000
and 4,OOO persons, was erected on the
Grande Place, where the bienniel fair
is being held. Last night it was crowd
ed. Upward of l 800 persons were re-
fused admittance. Reserve seats face
the entrance; the first class are in the
front rows; the Second-class are in the
back and in the gallery. During the
whole Of the performance q number of
young workmen in the gallery kept
making noise. Toward the end of the
performance, during the representation
OF the pantOmime, ale MedeCin de
Campagne," this band of young men
rose from their seats, causing those near
to follow their example. At this mo-
ment an unknown person shouted "A@
ftW!n causing an immediate stampede
down the inclined plane On either side
of the circus, serving for the entrance
and exit of the second-cla5s. The per-
sons who first reached the bottom of
the staircase, instead of making for the
door by which they entered, attempted to
open an extra door reserved for cases of
emergency. This door opening inward
instead of outward, block Immediately
ensued, people jumping down from the
gallery upon those jostling below.
MOnvOism, COmmissaire de Police, with
the Commandant and other officers,
used their utmost endeavOrs to calm the
audience. Many kept their seats, but
others in a panic burst open the outer
inclosure and jumped into the street.
Others again, occupying second places,
broke down the partition dividing them
from the first, and pushed into the front
rows, then into the arena, and so out
through The stables and the stage-door.
Four fremen, always on duty at the sta
bles, one Of them bugler, hearing the
first alarm OF fire, and seeing the peO-
pie rushing out, shouted out " Fire. y
The watchman at the adjoining belfry
Immediately rang the note of warning,
alarming the town and garrison. The
infantry and artillery were soon on the
spot. Though not needed to extinguish
fire, they did useful service in convey
ing the wounded to the Hotel de Vile.
From a pile of bodies around the doors
were taken nine corpses-tWo men, four
boys, one woman, and two girls. A
quarter Of an hour later another boy
died. This morning two were found
morally, three severely, and fourteen
slightly wounded. Among the victims
are a father and a little girl, the father
struggling to save the child; both were
ultimately bruised to death. The doe
tors Of the town, including DR.. Hughes,
an Englishman, and the military sur
geons, were up all night. The funeral
of the victims will be next Wednesday,
the expenses to be borne by the towns OF
Calais and St. Pierre The circus will
also give benefit representation for the
victims on Thursday.

or a grated nutmeg.
To Rem0ue Rust from Linen.-DiS-
solve an ounce Of oXalic acid in q pint
of water, apply literally to the spots of

ter, % cups sugar, 4 cups sifted flour, 3
cups grated cocoanut, 10 whites of eggs,

about 2 tablespoontuls OF fresh yeast,
mixed with little water; let it stand
all night; in the morning add the yelks
of 2 eggs, a piece of butter the size Of a
walnut, and sufficient warm milk to
make a right consistency; divide into
rolls (about 10 Or 14) bake half an hour
in q brisk oven.
Chicken Pie.-Boil until tender 2
chickens in just enough water to stew
them. Make nice crust as for batter
milk biscuit, only little richer; line a
deep dish with it; when the chickens
are done remove all the bones; put the
chickens in the dish in which they are
to be baked; thicken the gravy with q
little flour; add a can of oysters; sea-
son with salt, pepper and butter; cover
the pie with a crust, and bake quickly.
This is very nice.

How He Danced With His Wife.

We had a masked ball the other
night, given by one of Springfield's well
known clubs, and "thereby hangs a
tale" A business man told his pretty
young wife, on the night of the above
mentioned ball, that he was obliged to
90 out of town to one of the temperance
meetings, and might not return till the
following noon. The wife resolved, af-
ter he had left, to have good time in a
different way, so accordingly she pro-
cured simp black domino, and went
boldly to the masked ball. She had
never done such a rash thing before,
but her husband had been away very
often of late, and she would NOPE at
home no longer. She danced once,
twice, three times, and nobody seemed
to know her, yet she was fully deter
mined to see it over, and unmask with
the rest at y O'Clock. Now a dashing
Young cavalier asks for her hand for the
coming waltz, and she accepts. They
whirl away, and she says: "Do you
dance often?" blushing behind her
mask at her boldness. Every often,''
replied the cavalier, and added, ''not
often in Springfield" ;" " You do not live
here, then?" the little domino mustered
up courage to say, 81 would live here
or at the ends of the earth to be near a
little black domino that could men
tion,'' said the cavalier. This was too
.z,,,ol fo, +l,o 1i++lo 1adu hI1t Chp WAS in
for it, and would fight it out now, come
what would. They danced great deal
together, and when the circle formed,
lust before 12 o'clock they unmasked,
when to the horror of MIR. -, he
found that he had been dancing with
his own wife. The scene that followed
can be imagined, and we will drop the
curtain on the lecture which followed 2le5.

To Starch Collars and CufS.-Take
clear starch, scrape into it some floor
wax or spermacoti. which can be pro
cured in any drugstore, and mix with
cold water; then pour boiling water in
it until it is thick enough; boil few
minutes, then rub the starch good into
the collars, then let them dry; then a
few hours before you are ready to iron,
take a teaspoonful of starch, dissolve it
in cold water, about pint, then dip the
collars in it and wiring out, roll in dry
cloth, and when you get ready to iron
do not have the iron too hot, and iron
perfectly dry.
