jewels of the crown Of scotland.

At Edinburg, Scotland, some years since,
the Jewels of the Grown were locked in a box,
that box in another, and so on, until they were
supposed to be burglar proof. They were
then locked up in the vault of the castle, there
to remain for one hundred years, the key be-
ing placed in mortar and fired into the sea.
Scarcely fifty years passed by, and the modern
ock-picker opened the vault and boxes with
out trouble. So the science ofmedicine, when
studied with the aid of chemistry and the
miscroscope, becomes plain and simple, and
diseases that were regarded incurable gen.
Grafton ago, now readily yield to remedies
employed by the modern and progressive
physician. A decade of years since, and wo-
men were taught to believe that their peculiar
diseases and weaknesses were incurable; but
now hundreds and thousands of once bedrid-
den women in the United States will testify
to the fact that DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton has effected their perfect and permanent
cure.

DIR. r. V. PIERCE, Buffalo, NY:
Dear Sir-About five years since my wife

best physicians in our city, yet she gradually
grew worse, so that she was confined to the
bed. Every remedy had tried, or could find

and to my surprise il gave almost instant re

Wheat in Store.

A Chicago commission merchant has been
at the pains to collect comparative statistics
as to the estimated amount of wheat that
will be ON hand in the leading warehouses in
Nebraska, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota.
Twenty-one warehouses in Nebraska, nine
teen in Wisconsin-exclusive of Milwaukee
-ffty-six in Iowa, forty-four in Minnesota,
a total of one hundred and forty warehouses,
reported 2,011 900 bushels as the estimated
amount to be on hand to-day, April l,
1873, against 1886, 900 bushels on the CORES
ponding day last year, an increase of
$4,000 bushels. The same report shows a
decrease of 1, 457,8 bushels in Milwaukee
and 1,994,774 bushels in Chicago, or 1882
6O4 bushels in both cities on March 16, 1873,
as compared with the stock on hand in these
cities on the corresponding date in 1877.
This report also estimates that the farmers in
the districts in which these 140 warehouse
are located still have from one-fourth to one
third of crop on hand. Minnesota reports
the largest stock in warehouses; also the
largest proportion to one-halt
of the last crop held by farmers. This is
by no means an exhaustive report.

Death in his FavOrite Robe.

The morluary statistics of the whole
civilized world show that about one
fifth of all mankind die of consumption
alone, and the number of deaths due to
consumption bears greater ratio to
the whole number than that of anv
other three diseases together. More
over, investigation proves that this
ratio is steadily increasing. It's increas-
ing prevalence has led to the popular
belief that consumption is incurable.
Every year hundreds of these sufferers
seek, in the sunny retreats of Florida
or the dry atmosphere of Colorado for
health-and find only grave. The in
fluence of the atmosphere-the only
remedial agent that either Florida or
Colorado can afford the consumptivc-
is al best only palliative. The cure of
consumption depends upon two esscn-
tial conditions: 1st, the arrest of the
abnormal breaking down of the tissues,
which prevents cancellation; and 2d,
the restoration of healthy nutrition, in
order TO stop the formation of tubercu-
lous matter. Fulfill these conditions,
and consumption is as durable us fever.
To fulfill these conditions the required
remedy must increase the appetite, ia
vor the assimilation of food, and enrich
the blood, thus retarding the develop
ment of tubercles. To accomplish this,
a more powerful Alternative than DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has
never been discovered. AT the same
time, it soothes the irritation of the
nervous system produced by violent
coughing, which in its turn so often
leads to more serious results. The use
of ''expectorants" in consumption is
absolutely suicidal. For while remov-
ing the tnbercles already formed, they
produce yet more serious results by in
flaming and destroying the sound and
healthy tissues. Consumption requires
remedy that will soothe while il re-
lievcs; harsh medicines but add fuel to
the flame that already threatens to con-
sumo the system. The Golden Medi-
cal Discovery fulfills these conditions,
and has been pronounced the best REM
edy yet discovered to sllay and arrest
consumption.

A Good Temperance Tale.

From Ohio comes a capital temper
ance story. Judge Quay, the temper
ance lecturer, in one of his efforts there
got oil the following:
"All of those who in youth acquire
habit of drinking whiskey, at forty year.
will be total abstainers or drunkards.
No one can use whiskey for years in
moderation. If there is person in the
audience before me whose experience
disputes this let him make il known
and l will account for il or acknow ledge
that am mistaken"
A tall, large man arose, and folding
his arms in dignifed manner across
his breast, said:

rience contradicts your statement

"yours is a singular case, yet think il
is easily accounted for. | am reminded
by it of little story. A negro man
with loaf of bread and flask of whis-
key sat down to dine by the bank of a
clear stream. In breaking the bread
some of the crumbs dropped into the
water. These were eagerly seized and
eaten by fish. That circumstance sdg-
gested TO the darkey the idea of drop

ing it to them. lie tried it; it worked
well. Some of the fish ate it, became
drunk, and lay helpless on the water,
by this stroke of strategy he caught
great number. But in the stream was
large fish very unlike the rest. He
partook freely of the bread and whisky,
but with no perceptible effect; he was
shy of every effort of the darkcy 10 take
it.
"IIe resolved to have it at all hazards
that he might learn its name and nature.

derstand dis case. Dat fish is a mullet

"In other words" added the Judge,
"alcohol affects only the brain, and oil
course those having none may drink
without injury"
The storm of laughter that followed
drove the moderate drinker suddenly
from the house.

Prison Etiquette.

Give years Penal Servitudev is the
title of q book recently published in
London, and written by one "who en-
dured it," The London Times says,
1.-TWO very remarkable pieces of infor-
nation as to life in prison come out
in this volume, illustrating the incon-
sistencies of human nature, and show
ing that the public feeling, if it may be
so termed, in convict prison, may, in
some features, be as high as in the best
ordered community. One is that it is
not etiquette among prisoners TO ask O
man what he is 'in for If q man likes
TO be communicative on the subject OF
his own affairs, that is another thing
but until he is, no questions are to be
asked. 1t appears to us that this Gus
tom shows n delicacy of feeling and q
respect for those who may feel repent
ance and shame for their crimes which
few would have expected to find among
criminals, and must certainly indicate
that those who follow such rule OF
conduct cannot be altogether and en-
tirely corrupt and irreclaimable. The
other is 'thc respect the men paid to
those who had the courage to go upon
their knees morning and night to pray. :.

How he got Even.

Last April, man named Roberts,
who went ont TO the hills from Della
ware, was captured by the Indians near
Deadwood. When they had robbed
him of everything except shirt and
pants, six ofihe seven redskins were for
turning him loose and letting him get
back to the city. The seventh Indian
protested against this action, and when
he had to submit TO the majority he
struck Roberts in the mouth with the
head OF his tomahawk, smashing out
several teeth and inflicting other inlnr-
les. Roberts took look at the warrior.
and as he was turned loose he vowed to

loafers come into all the camps almcst
daily, and The other day the old top
knot, who played smash with the Della

wanted To trade Il lot of fresh venison
for lead. Roberts identified him il an
instant and the ycnison and the savage
were '.jerked'' at one and the same mo-
ment. All the men in the camp knew
how Roberts had been served, and when
he had the right man in his grasp there
was no one to plead the other side ofthe
case. The Indian was staked down on
the grass as first move. He recogniz-
