Remedy for Indigestion.

Here is rather a curious remedy, but
in many cases a very certain one, for the
cure of indigestion. 1t is simply the
cultivation of habit of chewing, while
out Of doors, different kind-of green
leaves and swallowing the juice. One
can always Gull q leaf from a hedge or
bush as one passes. Almost all are good
that are nauseous, such as the ivy, or
poisonous laurelIeaf One Of the latter,
however, is a capital thing where there
is a slight irritation Of the stomach.
The chewing of leaves cures dyspepsia,
principally, believe, by increasing the
flow Of salivary juice, and partly by the
tonic and stimulating action Of the leaf
cheWed. The leaves that occur to me at
present as most likely to be beneficial
are those of the pine-trees spruce or
Scotch fir, blackthorn, currant and rose
bushes, mint, the petals of many flowers,
the stalks of mountain-daisies, the white
portion of rushes, the bark of many
young trees, and the tender parts of the
stalks Of green wheat, oats, or almost
any of the larger grasses; but your own
taste must in great measure guide you,
if you elect to make trial of any remedy.
I should say, however, that the chewing
is better to take place before or between
meals than Immediately after.

Over-Nsited Women.

Many a iaded woman looking for her
relations to visit her feels like the one
who calls herself an "over-visited
woman" and makes her complaint
through the columns of the New York
Tribune.
She has been married fifteen years
has several children, lives on the old
homestead, and every Summer her hus-
bands mother, brothers and sisters, with
their children, come visiting. "Onee
when my husband told me that he had
heard from his mother, and that she
would be with us tomorrow, I said oh
dearE '0h dear what? said he. i
don't know how to take any more
trouble,' said 1. My mother never
made any trouble any where said he.
4 mean that I can't take any more work
My mother won't make any more work.
All you have to do is to put on another
plate / said no more, but from that
day to this, each year, she comes with
her children and grandchildren. They
sit on the cool piazza, and cook for
them over the hot kitchen-stove, with
one child in my arms and another hang
ing at my skirts" SHE thinks it a cruel
way to treat any woman. 1t at least
shows that all the inconveniences and
annoyances Of mother-in-lawism are not
on the side of the husband.

SfOD q Minute.

Don't hurry so. Move slower; 1t may
be that YOU will go surer. Grind, grind,
grind, one everlasting grind, from five
O'clock in the morning till ten at night,
chasing the bubble Of human riches.
What is the need, pray tell me? You
already have enough and even more
than YOU can use. You are heaping up
wealth for others to waste or quarrel
over when YOU are dead; and half your
heirs. instead of remembering you
gratefully, will contemplate your de-
parture from this hurTying scene with
infinite satisfaction. Do rest awhile
You are wearing out the vital forces
faster than there is need, and IN tins
way subtraCting years from the total
sum of your life. This rush and worry
day after day, this restless anxiety after
something you have not got IS Ike
pebble stones in machinery; they CRATE
and grind the life out of you. You have
useless burdens; throw them of. You
have a great deal of needless care; drop
it. Pull in the strings; compact your
business. Take time for thought OF
better things. Go out into the air and
enjoy the sunshine. Stop thinking Of
business and profit. Stop grumbling at
adverse fortune. You Will probably
never see much better times than these
in this doomed world. Your most Op-
perfume season is now; your happy day
is to-day. Calmly do your duty, and let
God take care of his own world. He is
still alive, and is the king. Do not
imagine that things will 90 to the ever
lasting smash when you disappear from
this mortal stage. Don't fancy that the
curse of heaven, in the shape Of the
vain task of righting up a disjointed
earth, is imposed on yOu. Cease to fret
and fume; cease to jump and worry
early and late. The good time is com
ing, but you can never bring it; God
can. and will. Take breath, sir; sit
down and take long breath; then 60
calmly to the tasks Of life, and DO your
work well.

4 Ranackabla Ladn setsntLsf.

The most remarkable lady scientist IN
this country at the present time, is Mrs.
Simeon III. Smith, the wife Of a gentle
man residing in Jersey City. She was
educated at Mrs. Wizards famous Troy
seminary, and after her marriage resided
some years in Chicago. Her taste for
abstruse studies early found expression
in a collection Of shells and minerals,
which was the germ Of what is now one
of the finest private collections in the
United States and valued at $25, 900 or
more. It comprises, among other treas
ures, over one thousand choice miner
ais, as many fossils, and about one huns
dred precious gems. MTs. Smith was
nearly one year in the school Of mines
in Freiburg, Saxony, the most celebrated
institutions of the kind in Europe, where
she associated with many Of the learned
scientists Of the day. In that vicinity
she procured numerous and rare Vaiu-
able specimens of silver ores, Of arsenic,
spars, etc. Into some Of the mines of
Europe she descended over one thou
sand eight hundred feet-in one in
stance went down in a bucket. She
obtained very rare specimens from the
Hartz mountains, and the least Of which
is a beautiful fish-lizard-the Ichthy-
osaurus-sOme three feet long. She has
also q large number Of fossil fishes, col
lected from various localities. Her suit
Of coppers Is very complete; cobalt and
all metallic ores ; agates Of every variety,
one specimen is a foot in circumference /;
onyx; malachite; lapis lazuli, and
rhOdenite in exquisite forms. One Curl
Osity is a perfect lizard in amber.
Mrs. Smith is perfectly familial with
every feature Of her vast cabinet, and
imparts information in a clear and COM
prehensible manner. She possesses q
remarkable memory, and is highly clll-
dVated on all general topics. She has
contributed many valuable articles to
scientific publications. She Is a fne
linguist, has been exceptionally success
full in translatiOns from the French and
German, and is at present engaged on
the translation Of a work from the
French. She is a member Of the Amer
ican association for the advancement Of
and she was the first lady mem
Der Of the academy of sciences Of New
York. She entertains generously IN her
pleasant home on Pacific avenue In
jersey City. During the past winter she
has given a series ofliterary and musical
entertainments which have drawn many
celebrities from New York as well as
New Jersey, her guests often numbering
as many as two or three hundred. She
has four promising sons, one of whom
is at present in Columbia college. She
is lady in middle life, little above
the average height, with a pleasant
open cOuntenanCe, agreeable manners,
and is one of the most nOble-hearted
and benevolent Of women.

.Man,s Ancient Brother. >,

Some very remarkable traits of intel
igence have recently been observed in
the large Chimpanzee at the New York
Aquarium. It is a known fact that the
discharge of firearms causes considerable
uneasiness to all the members of the
monkey tribe, frequently frightening
them so badly as to cause death. There
is a performance on the. stage of the
Aquarium in which a pistol is used,
and for fully five minutes preceding its
discharge the chimpanzee is on the
watch for the moment of its report, and
his actions meanwhile are precisely
those Of a child under like circum-
He will get to the farthest
corner of his cage and watch the stage
then suddenly rush back to
place where a view of the performance
can be had, and just as the pistol is
about to be fired he will seek the far
corner and actually place his hands over
both ears to exclude the noise of the
pistols explosion. As soon as the noise
has taken place the chimpanzee will run
briskly to the glass side and peer in
tently at the stage again, as if en-
to ascertain the cause Of so
much COmmotiOn.

Mr.. John G. Whittier has a sfemer
religious belief than most readers Of his
poems would have imagined. HeWrifes
to a correspondent: Il think I under-
stand thy inquiry. I am not an Univer-
salist, for 1 believe in the possibility Of
the perpetual loss Of the soul that per-
sistently turns from God in the next life
as in this. But / do believe, also, that
the Divine love and compassion follow
US in all worlds, and that the Heavenly
Father viii do the best that is possible
for every creature that He has made.
What that viii be must be left 10 his
infinite wisdom and goodness. I would
refer thee to a poem Of mine, The an
swer,-Spare me dread angel Ofreproof,'
etc.,-as containing, u a few words, my
Jelief in this matter"

The American merchants who
have been excursiouing in Mexico
are en- route home, and declare the
Mexicans unanimously IN favor Of
closer relations between Mexico and
the United States. The mission Of
the American deputation to the City

successful. Among the results Is
the establishment Of an American
bank there by G. A. Weeks, Of st.
Charles, Minnesota, and another
steamship line from Vera Cruz to
Galveston, to open trade direct with

Old Dick HargOOd married a asecond
wife the second day after the funeral OF
his first, Whereat the neighbors sere-
naded him with tin-pans, hOrse-hddles
and yells, to sigEify their indignation.
Dick stood it as longs he e-eeaiet and
then went forth, and spoke thus; Boys,
if YOU care nothing for the joys Of a
bridegroom, I think you ought to re-
spect the feelings Of a WidOWer, the late
partner Of whose bosom is yet hardly
cold in the grave" The boys were
stunned, and silently departed.

How to Count cqsb.

In England a patent check till has
been brought before the mercantile
public which seems to be a very ingen-
iOus continuance. The official descrip-
ton Of it says that it will check every
penny taken and paid, better than keep
ing a cashier and using check-books.
It occupies no more room than the
ordinary till. If an assistant should
take money of a customer and fail to
put it in the till, It can be detected at
once. If only part of the amount is put
in, it will show how much has been
withheld. If any cash has been taken
out, it will show the amount. The till
cannot be opened without it being
known, and the number of times. It
will show how much money there ought
to be in at a time. ANY amount of
change can be left in it for use, and yet
none can be taken away without its
being known. 1t can be left any length
Of time without being cleared, and will
show the amount that ought to be in
without counting the cash. 1t can be
used as desk, or let in level with the
cOunter-top, if required. 1t shows the
number Of customers waited upon by
each assistant; and if line is drawn
across close to the glass every hour, it
tells the number of customers at any
given time. And all these advantages
are wound up with the brief statement,
Interest on outlay and cost of working,
one half-penny a day."
