uou,sl, Cure for Dyspepsia.

H. "a rather a curious remedy, says
nassslFs Family Mdgasint, but IN many
cases 4 very certain one, for the cure OF
Indigestion. 1t Is simply the cultivation
~ a habit Of chewing, while ont of doors
different kinds Of green leaves and sWAl,
lowing the juice. One can always Gull
a leaf from hedge, or bush, as one
passes. Almost all are good that are
not nauseous, such as the ivy, or pol
sonous. as the laurel leaf. One oil the
latter, however, is a capital thing where
there is slight irritation q the stomach.
The chewing Of leaves cures dyspepsia
principally, 1 believe, by increasing the
fiow of the solitary juice, and partly by
the tonic or stimulating action OF the
leaf chewed. The leaves that occur to
me at present as most likely to be bene'
fetal are those of the pine trees, spruce
or Scotch fir, blackthorn, currant ano
rose bushes, mint, the petals OF many
flowers. the stalks, Of mountain daisies
the white portion of rushes, the bark o.
many young trees, and the tender par
of the stalks Of green wheat, oats, or al
most any of the larger grasses; but You
own taste must in great measure guido
you, if you elect to make trial of m!
remedy. 1 should say, however, tina
the chewing is better to take place be
fore or between meals than immediatel.

Valley Forge.
Thorne.

The recent centennial celebration of
the evacuation of Valley Forge by the
revolutionary army makes this remini-
scence timely. In the long struggle be-
tween Great Britain and her American
colonies, which resulted in the indie
pendence of the United States, the dark
est period was the winter of 1777-7S.
1t was the winter of Valley Forge. After
the evacuation of Philadelphia by our
soldiers, and their defeat at German
town in October, Washington withdrew
a few miles to Whitemarsh. Here he
remained undisturbed by his victorious
enemy for about two months; but it was
not place well adapted for winter en-
campment, and about the middle of De-
cember he broke up his quarters, and
retreated to Valley Forge, on the Schuyl-
kill. Six or seven years afterward
Washington, at his own table, told the
historian Gordon that the line of march
might be traced by the bloody foot
prints Of his soldiers on the frozen
ground.
On the 10Th of December the army
went into winter quarters on the bare
hills south of a little creek which
emptied into the Schuylkill, and fur
nished water power for -four mill and
the valley forge. Washington occu-
pied stone house belonging to the
owner of the forge, from which he had
an uninterrupted view of his little army,
now reduced to less than eighty-fve
hundred men fit for service, and one
half the number of Sir William Howe's
troops in Philadelphia. The half-clad
and half-fed soldiers were in log huts
built by their own hands-a hut foI
every twelve men. There they remained
for just six months, until the 10Th Of
June, when the encampment was broken
up, on the evacuation of Philadelphia
by the British. Nine days afterward the
indecisive battle of Monmouth was
fought.
No American, says a writer, can ever
forget the story of that dreary winter
in which our men were often for many
days without sufficient food, were clothed
in rags, and went about bare footed fol
the want of shoes. We never read thai
familiar story without fresh feeling Of
admiration for those stout-hearted anG
iron-willed men who encountered every
form of hardship and peril that the new
nation might not be crushed out of ex
istence. Nowhere else is there a NOR,
touching record of heroic endurance.

The Newfoundland sealing steamers
are powerfully built, with iron prows
and timDers strong enough to resist an
immense pressure. A correspondent
of the Toronto Globe says that they
attack ice fields with the vigor and per-
tinacity of bulldogs. The iron PROV
acts like huge wedge driven by
steam. Saws are used in making
way through thick ice, especially when
an approaching iceberg threatens a
catastrophe. The long, sloping stems
of these vessels are built Of solid oak
and covered with inch thick iron plates
forming a ram of great weight and
strength. The rest of the hull is
sheathed four inches thick with New
Zealand wood almost as hard as metal.
