Suspended Animation.

The nitrate of amyl being powerful
agent in quickening the heartbeat,
few drops of this drug have a pow
erful influence in restoring the func-
tions of the heart in cases of drowning,
hanging or fainting. 1t Is suggested,
therefore, that it should always be used
whenever attempts are bcing made to
restore to life an individual apparently
dead, or when it is desirable to settle
the question as to whether person is
really dead or not. The dreadful
thought Of being buried alive has
haunted the human race since its earl
lest days, and the discovery Of some
means by which the risk could be, if
not e7aded, at least greatly diminished,
would prove an ineffable boon to man.
kind. DIR. Il. Lauder Brunton, to whom
we have referred this suggestion, con-
siders it to be good one. He adds that
in ascertaining death the nitrite of
amyl might be used along with the cord
test of tying around the finger. If the
circulation has entirely stopped, the
ligature never becomes any thicker :;
but If the circulation continue, how
ever slowly, the finger tip beyond the
ligature will sooner or later begin to
swell.

"Practical Science"

Under the above heading, the st.
Croir Courier, of st. Stephen, n. B., in
referring to the analysis Of DIR. P;erce's
Golden Medical Discovery and Sage's
Catarrh Remedy, recently made by
Prof. Chandler. of New York, and
others, says: "Nothing was discovered
which we think Objectionable, and the
published analysis should increase,
rather than retard, their sale. TO us,
1t seems little unjust to call man a
quack, simply because he seeks to reap
as much pecuniary reward as other
classes of inventors. The English
Press is conservative, yet after a care
full examination of all the evidence, it
not only endorses but recommends the
Family Medicines manufactured by
DR.. Pierce. No remedies ever offered
the afflicted give such perfect satisfac-
ton as DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and DR.. Sage's Catarrh

Is am InFaIIIbIe Cure for Piles.
Mr.. VIM. J. Andrews. of Columbia, Tenn.
writes the following:
Messrs. NKUsTAEDTER IL Co., New York:
GENTs-For upward Of 20 years have been
afflicted with the Piles. When [ first took
them they were blind and very painful For
about ten years they continued as blind then
tlnued to increase until was losing at every
stool fully a gill of blood, and frequently,
while standing at my desk, the blood would run
down into my boots, / have had these hem
orrhoids to last for several hours. In the
meantime, like q drowning man, was grasp
ing at everything trying to find relief On
one occasion l had them cauterized, which,
after intense suffering for over a month
effected temporary relief, for short time only
however About ten months since while at
stool, my eve fell on an advertisement headed
in large letters, Piles" ''Send cent stamp
and get circular" did so and received few
plain Blunt Facts" in reply, after reading
which, concluded it was such plain common
sense that l would give ''Anakesis" trial. 1
did so and the result was that after few
days use, the bleeding ceased and have not
suffered a moments pain since. 1t is said that
"a fellow feeling makes one wondrous kind"
So. knowing quite number OF friends who
were suffering like myself. distributed quite
a number of them, and from every one re-
celved a favorable report. l would not be
without "Anakesis' for a hundred times its
cost. To all who are afflicted with Piles
would say: "Give Apakesls q trial and you
will no longer be q sufferer"

DenVer's Fifty-niner.

The man who staked out Denver is
the most numerous person in Colorado
Coming out on the Kansas Pacific, I
met him for the first time on the train.
"I went to Denver in 1885," he said,
sitting down in a seat beside me, "and
staked out the site of the present town."
"What was there of it then ?" l asked.
"Two abode houses, three or fourSpan-
ish women, Mexican horse thief, and
myself. The rush hadn't commenced
then. stayed awhile on Cherry Greek,
and then l went South. Before [ went
I sold the site of the present city for an
old silver watch, a sack of meal, and
5000"
The next time I met him was in Den
yer. On this occasion he was a sorrel-
complexioned creature, with small
gray eyes and parchment face. He
spit out a huge chew OF tobacco, pre-
paratory to lying with greater ease,
leaned back and began:
"I came to Denver in 1858, and staked
out this great and buslling town ye
see aronnd We. Stayed around here for
awhile and then sold it for an old sill
yer watch and a mustang, and if I'd
held on to it, I'd been a United States
Senator or suthin' of that sort now, but
so luck goes"
L looked at him moment but he did
not vince. The lie was so old that he
felt a certain confidence in its health
and vigor.
Two or three days afterwaId a man
came into my office. 81 came in," he
said, "to see if you would like to have
the experience of pioneer. Pm more
than barnacle; Pm a pre-Adamite.
I've been in the mines for thirty years
and Pm the first man that came to
Denver. When | struck in here from
the South, there were only two abode
houses in the place, and L staked out
the site of the present town to work as
a placer claim. l worked"

He looked at me for moment with
an injured air and asked, "Hez aome-
somebody been working up this storyP
''In MANNER" L answered. cit
you've got any spare time on your
hands you can find the man on every
street corner and in every saloon in
town. If you are in the least success
full you will see three or four of him to-
gether. Some of him is dead, some of
him has gone to Leadville, more of him
thinks Of going to Gunison, dozen Of
him are in San Juan, but there are still
a number of him around the place. He
is of all sizes, shapes, colors, and ages,
and the only thing he agrees on is that
he staked out Denver and sold it for a
silver watch and any other article he
happens to think of at the time"
the pioneer departed.

Catching Moss RunkerS.

This fish, although poor eating, on
account Of its many bones, Is of great
economic value, because of its use as a
fertilizer for the fields, and also for
the quantity of oil extracted from it. 1t
is found I'm immense quantities from
the Carolinas to Maine, and receives a
different name in almost each State. 1t
varies in length from eight to fourteen
inches, and in weight from ten to twen-
ty ounces. Striking the Southern
coast In April, 1t reaches Montauk in
the beginning Of May, and spawns soon
after coming in shore, in this respect
closely resembling its cousin, the her
ring. These fish swarm in countless
shoals everywhere on our Atlantic
coast, and fishermen have testified to
having sailed for forty miles in signt of
one vast body of menhaden. Every
bay and river mouth is filed with them
each summer, and they are captured
with the greatest ease. Swimming at
the surface and exposing above water
the dorsal fin, as does the shark,
the schools are discernible at great
distance. They are the prey of blue
fish, sharks and other voracious fish, as
well as sea fowl. Many men and ves-
sells are engaged in the menhaden fish
cry, and, iii addition to sailing crafts
several steamers are now following this
trade. The fish are dipped out of sea,
several barrelsfull ut time, by a pecu-
liarly constructed net, and when land
ed, are boiled in large pots, the oil be-
ing extracted and the residue used as
manure. The oil is largely used by
tanners, as it fills the pores of leather,
neutralizing the excess of alkali, and
leaving the skin pliable and soft. 1t is
also largely used in the manufacture of
soap, and forms cheap and excellent
substitute tor linseed oil in painting
where coarse work is wanted. 1t is
used also, we regret to say, in adulter-
ating more costly oils. In addition to
its various trade values the menhaden
is used largely as bait, especially for
eel-pots and blue fish. 1t Is remarka-
BILE how the seas are stored with food
for mans use, and how constant and
regular the supply is, but there is u
possibility of OVERRIDING the catch, or Of
driving away by careless and filthy
habits the supplies which nature has
furnished us. The veteran fisherman
Seth Green, recommends highly the
promised enforcement by the Canadian
Government, within the three-mile
limit, of a penalty against throwing
fish garbage overheard. Fish are par
ticular. A small portion of decompos-
ing matter dropped into an aquarium
will cause them TO remove as far as
possible from the source of annoyance.
The loss of our in-Shore fisheries on the
New England coast may, perhaps, be
ascribed to everlasting and throwing
offensive matter into the sea.

Languor, Its Cause and remedy.

The cause Of languor, when it is not the inn
disease. is traceable to debilitating tempera-
ture. Persons living in o warm, moist climate
are peculiarly subject to it. Diminished phys
ical vigor and an lndisposition to active exer-
ton are its characteristics. Sometimes it is
accompanied by undue relaxation of the bow
els, and by dyspepsia or bilious symptoms. A
reliable remedy is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
strengthening and alternative medicine de-
rived from the purest and most eff acious
vegetable sources, with pure spirituous basis,
pronounced by eminent physicians q mild and
wholesome stimulant. The Bltters, foremost
of American Tonics. is largely used in the
tropics, where the climate is very productive
of debility, malarial fevers, and disorders of
the bowels, liver and digestive organs.
