FEMALE COMPLAINTS.

These are of great variety and arrise
from many different causes. The uterine
functions are destroyed when the menses
are unnaturalIy arrested; when their
quantity is too great or too small; when
dark and clotted.; when accompanied with
excessive pain, fainting, fits, ehills or
fever; when preceded or followed by the
white flows. Other diseases. such as fall
ing of the womb, liberation of the labia,
Inflammation and assesses of the ovaria !;
also, congestion, dropsey, polypous and
caneerous formations. When derange-
ment of the menses are allowed to con-
tinue they usually bring on consumption.
7sacupia is the best remedy yet discovered
for these diseases, and its success has been
unparalleled. Use it with the first symp-
toms, before the disease is TOO long stand
ing, and thus avoid much suffering and
accomplish more speedy cure.

still leave some spoiled substance In the

HOW the AncIents Punished Drunk-
ards.


ards.
The offense ofdrunkenness was source
Of great perplexity to the ancients, who
tried every possible way of dealing with
it. If none succeeded, probably it was be-
cause they did not begin early enough,
by intercepting some of the ways and
means by which the insidious vice is in
cited and propagated. Severe treatment
was often tried to little effect. The Lo-
criaps, under Zaleucus, made it a capital
offense to drink wine if it was not mixed
with water. Even an invalid was not ex-
empted from punishment, except by order
ola physician. Pittacns, Of Mftylene,
made a law that he who when drunk,
committed any offense, should suffer
double the punishment which he would if
sober; and Plato, Aristotle, and Plutarch,
applanded this as the height of wisdom.
The Roman censors could expel a senator
for being drunk, and take away his horse.
Mohammed ordered that drunkards be
bastinadoed with eighty blows.
Other nations thought of limiting the
quantity to be drank at one time, or at
one sitting. The Egyptians put some
limit, though what is not stated The
Spartans ALSO, had some limit. The Arabi-
ans fixed the quantity at twelve glasses
man, but the size of the glass was, un-
fortunately. not clearly defined by the
historians. The AnglO-Saxons went no
further than to order silver nails to be
fixed on the side of drinking-cups, so that
each might know the proper measure.
And it is said that this was done by King
Edgar, after notieingthe drunken habits
of the Danes. Lycurgus, of Thrace, went
to the root of the matter, by ordering the
vines. to be cut down. And his conduct
was initiated in 7O4 by Terbulus, of Bull
garia. The Suevi prohibited wine to be
imported. And the Spartans tried to turn
the vice into contempt, by. systematically
making their slaves drunk once year, to
show their children how foolish and con-
temptible men looked in that state.
Drunkenness was deemed much more
vicious in some classes of persons than in
others. The ancient Indians held it law
full to kill king when he was drunk.
The Athenians made it a capital Offense
for magistrate TO be drunk, and Charlie
magne initiated this by a law, that Judges
on the bench and pleaders should do their
business fasting. The Carthageans pro-
hibited magistrates, governors, soldiers,
and servants from any drinking. The
Scots in the second century, made it a
capital ofense for magistrates to be
drunk; and Constantine II, of Scotland, ,
SOL extended like punishment to young
people.
Again, some laws have absolutely pro-
hibited wine from being drank bv women .
the Massilians so deereed. The Romans
did the same, and extended the prohibi-
ton to young men under 80 or 45. And
the husband and the wife's relatives could
scourge the wife for offending, and the
husband himself might scourge her to
death.-E -Erchnnne.

"Hattie Wayne, you are disgrace to
the family! If 1 was your mother, I'd
lock you up and feed you on bread and
water for q week -
As Alice Wayne uttered these words,
in a very excited manner, she threw her
self into chair and began to rock so yio-
lently that prssy's tail got a squeeze,
which called forth a sudden, sharp cry of
anguish, and Alice, springing up as
quickly as she sat down, trod on Fido's
paw, and he hoped off to a corner, yelp-
ing piteously. This cut short baby Bells

pounding and kicking against her crib
with chubby lists and feet, and, stretch
ing wide her pretty mouth produced a
lively accompaniment which almost
drowned ont the cat-and-dog duet. All
this transpired in about minute.
'sWhat a rumpus!'' exclaimed big
brother George, who was reading by the
window.
s'What is the matter, children ?'' asked
Mrs. Wayne, as she entered.
''It's all Hattie's fault to begin with, -
said Alice, quieting the baby. 81 was so
vexed with her dreadful doings that
rocked on pussy and trod on Fido, and
their noise woke Belle.''
''What have done that is SO dreadful,

puzzled look.
'sWhy, at the Murphy temperance
meeting, yesterday, you went up and
signed the pledge, the first one, at the
head of a crowd of tramps and red-nosed
topers, and the girls were all talking
about it in school to-day. They are

gravely.

TAKE AND LIVE,


In one of the New England States lives
q family, which in early days bore very

blessings seemed complete. Though for
the present the name is untold, yet its
Influence TO 90 good is the. same, and il

One member Of this family was lady
In the early flush Of womanhood, with
pure, sweet and tender face, with dark,
glowing eyes, with coral-tinted lips, with
rosy cheeks and amber curls. She was as
graceful as a gazelle, as light-hearted as
bird and as spirited as an untamed ante
lope.
But as the frost destroys the fairest
flower, so does disease the most perfect
woman. Disease, with its greatest malice,
slipped at her life and riOted for her de-
structiOn; and she, who was so young, so
beautiful, and so full of promise, wa
dragged from natures most royal throne
and Frustrated, helpless and dying be-
fore the king Of terrors, who bafHed all
skill. Physicians turned away with no
encouraging word, and from their eyes
were read these thoughts: "She soon
must die" But one morning, as death
seemed to be folding her in his icy en-
brace, and the golden sun was striving
with the purest light to make the last OF
earth appear most beautiful, Ada, slowly
yoicelessly said 20 her brother: "ChaTlie,

near che banks, among the trees, grows

the danger of being moved, and that il
was almost madness for her to think OF
riding. But he knew that in that room
all efforts to restore her had been in vain,
and that she was dying there. Her earn
estness filed him with the hope that by
granting her request she might live; anC
though death seemed near, yet they
went. Passing along the bank of th'
stream, among the trees, suddenly witt
one wild cry of joy, she exclaimed
"Tberel There Charlie, there is the La

who lived on account of it.

Drunk on Coffee.

An Italian statuette-seller, going on
his rounds in the Paris streets and car
rying tray Of plaster casts on his head,
stumbled upon well stuffed leather
portfolio lying in the road. As it con-
tanned $4,000 in bank notes, it was a
perfect bonanza to gamin. What
could he not buy with it? But there
was one thing for which he cared above
all others. It was strong coffee. His
first thought was that he could drink a
dozen cups of coffee day. if he chose.
He rushed into cafe and swallowed,
one after another, six of Gambetta's
favorite " mazagrans" and nine "glo-
rias"-cups of strong coffee with liquor.
The next day he paid second visit to
the restaurant and INDUCED in a fresh
debauch; and he returned on the follow
ing day to order coffee with the same
recklessness. His continued revelry ex-
cited the suspicion of the police, and he
was finally arrested. Ten bank notes
were found in his pockets. A hundred
francs had lasted him several DAYS, and
he was evidently congratulating him
self on having resources wherewith he
could buy and drink gallons of strong
coffee during the winter.

The Value Of Fresh Air.

Recent statistics show that the rate of
mortality among grocers is as rs to 100
among the general population, at equal
ages, while the death-rate among dra-
pers is as 108 to 100, by the same stand
ard. On analyzing the cause of the
difference between the diapers and the
grocers, it is found that it lies in the
mode of living. The disease which de-
stroys the draper is pulmonary con-
sumption. The explanation is simple.
The grocer lives in a shop, the door of
which is open the whole day, and he is
very active himself in business. The
draper, on the other hand, lives in a
close place with the doors of his shop
closed, and in a dusty, close atmos-
phere. No one whose pleasure or BUSH
ness calls on him to enter the majority
of our large drapery emporiums in Lon
don but will feel in a position to testify
to he truth of this description. The
heat and closeness which are their usual
characteristic sufficiently accounts for
the general pallor and unhealthy APP
pearance of the male and female attend
ants in them.-London Sanitary Record.
