Beware of CheaD EXcitantS.

And use, if you need a tonic stimulant and alter
alive, Hostetter'S Stomach Bitters. The liquor:
OF commerce, even when they are not adulterated
fail to produce more than temporary exhilara
ton, usually followed by depressing reaction
anything but beneficial to a weakly constitution
Not only do the potent botanic ingredients COM
bined with the alcoholic of Hostetter's Stomach
B!tters minister to the health and Ylgor of those
who use it, but the basis-pure old rye, the finest
and most salubrious liquor distilled, is no mean
promoter of a heathful condition of the digestive
organs. Its presence in the Bitters is essential
to preserve their vegetable constituents from fer
mentation, and it unquestionably augments their
remedial vaIue. Few medicinal preparations of a
proprietary nature have ever received such strong
Communications from medical men.

4 Yexed Question Answered.


"What shall I do to get rid of all this
fesh?'' is the question that has been
asked again and again of physicians
without receiving an intelligent reply;
Several Of our popular lecturers and
writers have attempted to answer it, but
the force of their disquisitions can be
summed up in a single sentence: be
content you are not lean, and starye
yourself course Of treatment that
will never cure obesity, as thousands
who have tried it can attest. Pharma-
ceutical science has given a rational
answer to this question in Adams Anti
Fat, which will reduce the system from
two to five pounds per week. 1t is
purely vegetable and perfectly harm
less. Sold by druggists. .G.t + 70

SHOT FROM A CANNON.
Miss Geraldine Stands i'm Mortar aud
is Thrown Thirty Feet i'm the Air.
New York Su,

The aquarium Is again open, after a
briefsuspenslon Of performances, with
new attractions. Evolutions pleasant
to look upon, and tricks suggesting
painstaking drill are performed BY
Mons. Oscars troupe of American
thoroughbred horses. An excellent
double-trapeze act is done by Miss Ger
aldine and Mons. Leopold, after which
is introduced the sensation of the per-
formanee-the shooting of the young
woman out of lannon's mouth. Thus
is given a literal exemplification of what
it is to be ''fred out" The cannon
seems to be made of wood and is
mounted after the manner ola mortar.
1t stands at the front of the stage, point
ing at angle of about thirty-fve or forty
degrees, between the upturned faces
of the spectators and the rafters over
head. ~ ~@ -a So
AT the close of her trapeze act Miss
Geraldine comes down the rope head
foremost by twining one leg around it
and with her disengaged toe describing
an Archlmedian spiral. She is then as
sisted to the raised muzzle Of the can
non, into the bore of which she slips,
feet first, lying on her back. Her
head and neck are just visible when
the gun is charged. Then she gives the
word, the report of the cannon is heard
and she flies toward the spectators, GO
ing some TWENTY-FIVE or thirty feet in a
straight line before she drops to the
net spread to catch her. When she
again steps upon the stage and smiles
her acknowledgment of the applause,
her bright garments are not at all black
ened by POWDER fact which is doubt
less due to the interior mechanism oil
the cannon. This act and the perfor-
nance by the trained horses are to be
the attractions at the aquarium for q
season.

A SnnGrfiuitY Gf LaMYerS,

A prominent member of the bar in
forms us that we were mistaken when, a
few days ago, we stated the number of
lawyers at the Cleveland bar as 324. He
says they number $40, or one lawyer
for every eighty-seyen male adults in
the city. The numerical increase of
the lawyers of Cuyahoga County within
ten years has been so great, and the
average quality so poor, that the bar of
Cleveland seems to have decreased IN
learning and ability in about the same
ratio as it has increasd in numbers. Not
that within the last ten years the bar
has failed to receive valuable additions
to its ranks Far fromit. Some of the
best educated and most promising mem
bers are among the younger represen-
tatives of the profession. But too large
a number of the so-called lawyers prac-
ticing in our local courts are notorious
ly uneducated and illiterate, having
only smattering of law, and that of a
character which enables them to be
simply stirrers up of strife and pander-
ers to the worst passions oftheT fellow
men.-C Cleveland Herald. = ~CS- 80

ONLY one of the big trees of Califor-
MIA has been felled by the hand of man.
To accomplish this it required the work
of five men for twenty-five days, not
chopping, but with long augers, boring
it down. After the tree was completely
severed, the veteran stood still unmoved,
refusing to fall, until by ropes, pulleys
and wedges the enormous trunk was
brought to the earth. This tree was
found to be over 800 feet long, ninety
six feet in circumference at the base
and sound to. the very heart.

Startling if True.

There is a conspicuous inexact
ness" about English journals state
ments regarding this country simply
petrifying to the American mind. The
following extract from the London
Court Journal will be wildly interesting
to readers in this vicinity: Among the
American celebrities at the exposition
is Mrs. Rose Eytings, well-knowr as a
clever poetess in the States. She has
appeared several times in opera with
great success under the stage name of
McCollouge, and is widely known as the
authoress of the at one time popular
abolition novel called Uncle Tom, Cab
man. She is extremely well connected,
being half sister to the late esteemed
Mr.. Fremont, celebrated in connec-
ton with the discovery of San Fran
cisco, and who was put to death by the
notorious Mormon, Beecher Young,
during the Kearney labor riots at
Louisiana, near Quebec. rs. F. Posi-.

A Land of Wonders.

California is land ofwonders. There
are fresh flowers every month in the
year, and winter wears the bloom of
spring. There are waterfalls three a1d
four times as high as Niagara; natural
bridges of white marble; some thous-
and of gold-bearing veins; inexhaustible
quantities of iron and chrome, creslead,
bismuth and quicksilver; most beauti-
full porcelain clay; and in short, every
thing that can bless an industrious and
enterprising people. In one valley
were found more than forty springs
over one hundred degrees Fahrenheit.
In another valley, sixteen -geysers, like
the famous one in Iceland In this
famous abode Of Vulcan the rocks are
so hot that you can stand upon them
but short time, even with thick boots
on. The roar of geysers at times may
be heard a mile or more, and the
moment is one of the most intense in
terest as you approach them. =.

No, don't learn trade, yourg man.
You might soil your hands, Wilt your
shirt collar, and sol your complexion
sweating. Go hang your chin over a
counter; learn to talk twaddle to the
ladies; part your hair in the middle;
make an ass Of yourself generally, and
work for wages that wouldn't support
a Chinese laundryman on rice-ied rats,
and leave big enough balance to pay
his washerwoman-just because it's a
little more genteel in the eyes of people
whose pride prevents them from pound
ing rock or hewing wood, and whose
poverty pinches worse than one of those

fine discrimination between a little

glibly, rides to the store in her carriage,
and purchases two skeins of sewing-silk
