The True Way to Invfgorate.

It's true way to invigorate feeble system ia
to infuse activity into the operations of the stom
ach, that wondrous alembic in which the food
is transmitted into the constituents of blood, the
chief elementof our vitality. Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, because it sccomplishes this end,
is greatly to be preferred to many so-called
tonics, useful, indeed, as appetizers, but mop
erative as aids to digestion and assimilation.
This sterling cordial, while it invigorates the
stomach, beautifully stimulates the liver, bow
els and kidneys, insuring the escape through
the regular channels of effete and useless mat
ter thrown off by the system, which is thus
purified as well as invigorated by it. Its tonic
OF vital energy and a more active and regular
discharge OF every physical function, and it has
the further effect OF rendering the system I'M

Uncle Tom and the BOYS.

When l was a little boy loved nay mother
very dearly, and am glad to say that I have
never ceased to love her. I have known. boys
who thought that they were too old for mothers
love.
Too old for mothers love! Can it be
That am too old to cherish thee?
Too old to meet thy fond caress;
Thou who of earthly friends art best
I heard of q boy who, at the close of school
one day, was asked to go swimming with the
boys-which his mother had forbidden-but ne
replied to their invitation, 9 Mother does not
want me to go.D Hey tied to your mothers
apron strings, are your" were the words of one
Of the largest boys, and then they all laughed
at him. But he did not go with them, but went
home, e prouder, better boy for being tied to
that he was not ashamed Of Some boys think
it manly to wear long coat and smoke cigars.
Now that is not what makes man.
1t is good behavior, pure conversation,
noble and true aspirations Why, boy
may be man before he has reached the age of
10 by cultiyating these qualities. He can be
mothers little gentleman. and from this grow
into mothers man. Always be polite to your
parents and to all you meet, and never call
father governor" or mother the "old woman"
Why, heard young man speak of his mother
the other day, in those words And, boys, use
as many pretty words as you can find in your
conversation, and leave out all slang. Boys
you are to take our places, and we want you to
fill them better than those before you. Make
up your minds what kind of business you will
like, and, when you finish your education, put
your energies into that chosen occupation, and
you will make something of it. Start from the
foot of the ladder and climb up, and by-and-b by
you will find yourself at the top. I knew of a
young man once who, after he had closed his
studies at school at the age of IS years. wanted
to take position at once as a proprietor Of
some store. The result was he was out of bust
ness a year, and finally took small position as
clerk, prepared to work UP the ladder.
/ must close now, hoping my words may be
the means of doing some boy good who may
chance to read them. UNCLE Tom.

BulldOZing a Bee.Hunter.

"Charles Mcclure" began his Honor,
as he looked over the desk at slim

iceman tells me that he found you

"You see T heard swarm of bees

"Bees! Bees in the month of Feb

pale around the mouth.

"Charles Mcclure, you had bee in

"May-bee that was il" thoughtfully
observed Bijah.
The court gave him one lingering,

The Labor of Cutting Leaves.

One Of the minor miseries of human
life is the necessity that is laid upon
the readers of magazines and of divers
weekly, monthly, and other journals of
cutting the leaves thereof. The amount
of time consumed in this search after
hidden treasure and of force expended
therein, is no mean consideration in
these utilitarian days. The literature
of the world in all the classes which we
have mentioned, reducing quarterlies,
monthlies, and weeklies to monthlies,
cannot be less than 100000 copies a
month. Not less than 10 leaves to a
copy may be deemed a fair average.
The cutting Of each of these 100000
publications requires 5 minutes. This,
as simple calculation will show, is
something like 20 years for each month,
or 240 years in each year. In cutting
the leaves OF the ordinary magazine,
the hand travels at least 20 feet. For
100000 magazines this is 100000
feet, or nearly 5000 miles month, and
$4,000 miles year-four times around
the globe-a distance greater than the
railroad mileage of the United States.
Prof. Ralfe says that "the ordinary ex-
ternal mechanical work " done by an
adult weighing $50 pounds amounts to
800 foot tons 600 tons lifted one FOOT
daily. In pile driving man lifts the
equivalent of 312 foot tons in s hours
in turning a winch, 374 foot tons. But
this magazine cutting necessitates &C
expenditure Of 24Oyears, or 81, 900 days,
which, at 800 foot tons day, makes 26,-
100000, sum total that makes the ton
mage of the Erie canal and the trunk
lines sink into insignifcance- Brook

A Rafting Kansas Snake Story.

S. I'll. BeesOn, the weI-knoWn Cen
trial Branch co itractor, gave the Patriot
pleasant call and from him we learn
the particular :of the most remarkable
snake story We have heard. In the ex-
tension of the Central Branch road
from Beloit to Cawker City, the line
passes through the town of Glen Elder.
A short distance from Glen Elder, on
the Solomon river, is steep and rocky
bluff, about fiftyfve feet high, large
portion of which had to be blasted away
to make room for the roadbed. A few
days ago, while the excavation was in
progress, a blast of nitry glycerine caps
and giant powder tore off an unusually
large part of the bluff, and down the
declivity there came writhing and roll
ing bunch of snakes, which Mr.. Beeson
assures lis was almost as large as bar
rel. They were of different varieties,
rattlesnakes predominating, with racers,
adders, carriers, etc. When first dis
turbed from their warm bed they were
active and dangerous, but coming out
into the severe cold they were soon
comparatively harmless, and were killed
by the mel without much trouble, or
covered up in the dump by earth and
stone. But this is very small portion
of the story. Every day and every
blast since this first batch appeared has
brought another huge bundle of rep
tiles. Every hour moving, writhing
lump comes rolling down the hill only
to separate at the foot, and what escape
the laborer's pick and shovel crawl off
to get covered up in the dump. Thou
sands of them have been unearthed and
killed, and every blast brings thousands
more, far rivaling in number the famous
snake-den of Concordia. Not single
case of snakebite has yet occurred, not
withstanding it is many times almost
impossible to avoid stepping on them.
Mr.. Beeson says there are no unusual
monsters among them, the great major
ity being as large round as a mans
wrist and about three or three and a
half feet long. He also says that the
farmers for five miles around tell him
that this is the regular winter den of
these venomous creatures, and that dur
ing the fall the snakes in that country,
when discovered, are headed in the di-
rection Of the bluffs, and the only. way
they can be turned from their course is
to- kill them. Tt is said to be one of the
most remarkable sights ever looked
upon, and hundreds from the surround
ing country visit the quarries to see the
snakes.-Atchis01 (Kdn.) Patriot.

Bringing the Dead to Life.
From the cairo llll.l .Nrglls

Mrs. v j. Iost Of Metropolis, passed
through the city last evening, on her
way home from Hot Springs, where she
had been to see her husband, who is
stopping there for his health. Several
days since Mrs. Yost received a dispatch
from Hot Springs saving her husband
was dead. She FASTENED to Cairo sorely
stricken with sorrow expecting TO re-
ceive his body here. Here she received
another dispatch saying her husband
was not dead. These different dis
patches COMPOUNDED her, and she hasten
ed on to the Springs TO find out his sit
uation for herself,
There the contradictory kilograms
were explained to her. To all appear
ances her husband was dead, and he
was laid out as Il dead person. But
after the lapse Of several hours, il was
discovered that the dead body did not
grow cold as it should. A consultation
OF physicians was held, there being nine
in council. The majority insisted that
MIR. Iost was dead but one, II Dir. Reed
insisted that he was not dead. In
Difference to his opinion, two galvanic
batteries were applied to the body and
imediatly it began to show signs of life.
Bringing the dead back TO concious life
was slow progress, but it was esentu-
ally accomplished, and Mr.. Yost has
been gaining ever since, until he is now
able to partake Of a fair meal, converse
write, and he appears TO have a better
prospect for recovering his health than
ne has had for some months.
This is one Of the marvellous cases we
have read Of, but is seldom brought
home to the knowledge Of one with
whom they are acquainted.
