THE DEATH RATE of our country is
getting to be fearfully alarming. the av-
erage of life being Iessened every year,
death resulting from the most insigni6-
can't origin. At this season of the year
a cold is such a common thing that we
are apt to overlook the dangers attending
it until it is too late. Thousands lose
their lives this way every winter that
might have lived had they used Boschee's
German Syrup. For all diseases of the
throat and lungs, use Boschee's German
Syrup. Every druggist in this country
will tell you of its wonderful effect. o2l

CARE OF THE EYEs.-An author gives
some excellent rules for relieving or
preventing weak sight, which may be
summarized as follows:
l. Rest the eyes for few moments
when the sight becomes in the least
painful, blurred or indistinct.
2. Have sufficient light; never sit
facing it; let it come from behind or
from one side.
3. Never read in horse or steam cars.
4. Never read when lying down.
5. Do not read much during conval-
escence from illness.
6. The general health should be main
tanned by good diet, air, exercise,
amusement, and proper restriction of
the hours of hard work.
Z. Take plenty of sleep. Retire ear
ly and avoid the painful evening lights.
Ten hours sleep for delicate eyes is bet
ter than eight.
An ingenious swindle is being perpe
trated in many New England towns,
which Vermont business men will prob
ably hear from sooner or later. A map
appears In store, representing himself
as native of neighborisg town, and
calls for some German goods or some
thing which he thinks the proprietor has
not in his stock. Then he asks, will the
merchant be so kind as to order them
for him, and soon after an agent comes
along with the very same goods to sell.
After the merchant has paid his money
and held the goods few weeks. without
any body calling for them, he begins to
realize that these men are acting in con-
cert and he has been neatly sold.
THE GROWING DISCOVERY.
All the ''phones" of this phonetic age
are passed in practical benefit to man.
kind. by the discovery of Allan's Anti
Fat. the great and only known remedy
for obesity, or corpulency. 1t produces
no weakness OF other injurious effects, its
action being simply confined to regulat-

assimilation of the carbonaceous, or flesh
producing, elements of the food. Sold

Accounts from North Carolina, and
from Louisiana and Mississippi, show
that though the condition of the colored
people i'll the former State is very near
ly the same as in the other States, their
movements are not identical. In North
Carolina, where the negroes have been
oppressed and denied their political
rights, they have ceased buying small
homesteads and have boarded their
gains. The Times correspondent at
Newbern says that this change in the
practice of colored people is marked,
and it fairly indicates the spirit Of I'm.
rest which pervades the black people.
They are preparing for an exodus. In
louisiana and Mississippi. on the other
hand, the exit has already begun. AL
| though less than 5000 people, all told,
have passed through st. Louis, bound
for Kansas, it is certain that the exodus
OF this number OF colored persons Will
have its effect on those who remain.
They, too, will be influenced by the
vague feeling of uneasiness which has
driven so many to seek more congenial
home in the far West. The fugitives
have been wronged, cheated, and denied
all political rights. The evidence col
lected by our correspondents proves thai
neither prosperity nor political freedom
can be enjoyed by the blacks in the
cotton-grow1ng regions of Louisiana and
Mississippi. 1t does not seem to affect
the volume of this emigration to war;
the fugitives of the rashness of theil
venture. They are going, and they alb
solutely refuse to return.-N 7. Times
