William Buckley, a British soldier

William Buckley, a British soldier,
convicted of receiving stolen property,
or of being concerned in an attempt
upon the life of the Duke of Kent, was
sentenced to transportation to Australia
for life. He escaped, and fell in with
tribe of natives, with whom he resided
thirty-three years without meeting q
white man until he discovered party
of tourists, and saved them from q
treacherous attack by wandering band
of native warriors. It is believed that
he owed his safety to his gigantic size
and ferocious appearance. a more ro-
mantle explanation is that, having taken
a spear from the grave of dead chief,
he was supposed by the natives to be
their leader come back to life in new
body. Buckley says that these people
imagined the world was supported by
props, which were in charge of q man
who lived at the extremity Of the earth,
and that unless the props were renewed
from time to time, the whole fabric
would tumble to pieces.

rhnnrh tha Earth he Ramored.

The traveller Humboldt gives an in-
teregting account of the first earthquake
be witnessed. 1t was at Cumana, IN
South America. The first shock came
after a strange stiffness. 1t caused an
earthquake in his mind, for it Overthrew
In a moment all his lifelong notions
about the safety of the earth. The croco-
diles ran from the river Orinoco, bowling
into the woods, the dogs and pigs were
peyerless with fear. The whole city
seemed 'the hearth of destruction" !"
The houses could not shelter, for they
were falling in ruins. He turned to The
trees. but they were overthrown. His
next thought was to run to the noun
tains. but they reeled like drunken men
he then looked toward the sea. Lol ii
had fed; and the ships, which a few
minutes before were in deep water
rocked on the bare sand. He tells us thal
being then at his wits end, he looked
no and observed that heaven alone wat
calm and unshaken. Many strange
things are yet to come upon the world
earthquakes, overturnings, upheaYlngs
But amid them ali, the Book tells Us
the Christian shall look up to the
heavenly one, "Jesus Christ, the sarnC
Yesterday, and to-day, and forever" anc
to his heavenly home which cannot b

The Doc as an ArucIe Of FOOd,

By most people the dog is valued
only during life; his skin is not particu-
larly valuable, and his flesh is but little
esteemed. This is by no means, howev-
er, the case everywhere. It is very well
known that the Chinese use the dog as
q regular article of food. Many of the
North American tribes look upon an
entree of dog as the greatest possible del
icacy they can set before a stranger. Sir
leopold McClintock relates that in the
Sandwich Islands he had the most pro.
fuse apologies offered to him because
there was no puppy to be had for feast
to which he was invited. The Esoui-
-maux, too, look upon dish of young
dog as great treat, and it is related that
q Danish captain provided his friends
with feast of this kind, and when they
praised his mutton, sent for the skin Of
the beast and exhibited it to them! The
Greeks and Romans also used the dog as
an article of diet, and many ancient
writer's, such as Galen and Hippocrates,
represent dog meat as highly desirable
dish.

There is mo- trait more valu!

There is no trait more valuable than
q determination to persevere when the
right thing is to be accomplished. We
are inclined to give up too easily in try
ing or unpleasant situations, and the
point I would establish with myself, if
the choice was again within my grasp,
would be never to relinquish my hold
on q possible success if mortal strength
or brains in my case were adequate to
the occasion. That was capital lesson
which learned professor taught one of
his students in the lecture room after
some chemical experiment. The lights
had been put out in the hall, and by ac-
cident some small article dropped on the
floor from the professors hand. The
professor fingered behind, endeayoring
TO pick it up. "Never mind" said the
student, tbs ofno consequence tonight,
sir, whether we find it or no" s'That, is
true" replied the professor, "but it is of
grave consequence to me, as a principle,
that 1 am not foiled in my determination
to find it." Perseverance can sometimes
equal genius in its results. 'There are
only two creatures" says the Eastern
proverb, "who can surmount the pyra-
mids-the eagle and the snail"

Catarrha al
POI so

! EOEOUEV
Wei De Meyers Treatise on Ca
tarrh, explains the following imDOrtantfacts;
l. That Catarrhal Colds become
poisonous infection, at first local, and
finally constitutional.
2. That, being Constitutional, the infection
is beyond the reach Of mere local
remedies.
8. That impurities in the nOstrils, are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach
and inhaled into the lungs, thus poison
ing the Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-
urinary organs.
4. That Catarrhal virus follows the
mucous membrane and causes Deafness,
Dyspepsia, Chronic Diarrhea, Bronchitis,
Leucorrhea, and Consumption.
5. That Smokes, DOuches, InhalatiOns
and Insoluble Snufs, cannot possibly
remove infectious Inflammation from the or
gans named.
6. That an antidote for Catarrh must
possess an inoculative affinity for, and the
quality of being absorbed by, the purulent
mucous wherever located.
Based upon these plain theories,
DR.. Wei De Meyers CataTrh Cure
has proved to be infallible. It not only re-
Heves, it cures Catarrh at any stage.
