rhe True way 70 Inrlrorate.

The true way to invisorAte a feeble system
is to infuse activity into the operations of the
stomach, that Wondrous alembie in which the
food is transmitted into the constituents of
blood, the chief element Of our vitality.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, because ii ac-
complishes this end, is greatly to be preferred
to many so-called tonics, useful indeed as ap-
petizers, but inOperatiye as aids to digestion
and assimilation. This sterling cordial,
while it invigorates the stomach, BEAUTIFULLY
stimulates the liver, bowels and kidneys,
ensnring the escape through the regular chan
nes of ehfete and useless matter thrown off by
the system, which is thus purified as we'll as
inyigorated by il. Its tonic influence is soon
made manifest by an increase Of vital energy
every physical function, and il has the further
effect of rendering the system unassailable by
malarial epidemies.

Women Among Ancient Hebrews

Mr.. Beecher preached recently upon
the condition Of woman and the house
hold among the ancient Hebrews. In
the course of his remarks he said:
The condition of any people might
be ascertained by the position of wo-
man. There never was a nation where
woman was depressed that rose to
eminence. Was she in those early
days a plaything, a recluse, a nun of
the kitchen, or was she honored 2
Her condition then among the He
brews, though not so good as among
us now, was immensely in advance
of any nation in the Orient at that
time, The primitive law was power.
The august power of nature
suggested deities. First muscu-
lar power, then cunning as an
element of power, then pomp.
Woman was disesteemed because of
her weakness, and all the way down
the weakness of sex had been trodden
under foot. Among the Hebrews that
was evident, but was still greatly in
advance there. She was servant.
ShewassalSble. The father could send
his daugter to market, not as we did,
but actually, 1t was only at late
day that men understood that property
meant inanimate things. A father
had absolute control of daughters
liberty and life. She had no choice
as to matrimony and her father gave
her away for consideration. She in
heritcd nothing unless the estate was
likely to go out of the family, and then
she was Jack at a pinch. Among
the Hebrews woman was not a laborer
but remained at home and did house.
work. She was unveiled and
ate with her husband. A Creek
woman was not allowed to do that A
Hebrew woman was tho companion of
her husband il she was his slave.
She took part with him in all the
great religious services. There was
this remarkable peculiarity also, tho

The Hottest SDot ON Earth.

One Of the hottest regions on the
earth is along the Persian Gulf where
little or no rain falls. At Bahrin the
arid shore has no fresh water, yet a
comparatively numerous population
contriye to live there, thanks to the
copious springs which break forth
from the bottom of the sea. The fresh
water is got by diving. The diver sit.
ting in his boat, winds a great goat
skin bag around his left arm, the hand
grasping its mouth; then takes In his
right hand a heavy stone, to which is
attached a strong line, and thus
equipped, he plunges in and quickly
reaches the bottom. Instantly open
ing the bag over the strong jet Of fresh
water, he springs up the ascending
current, at the same time closing the
bag and is helped aboard. The stone
is then hauled up, and the diver, after
taking breath, plunges again. The
source Of the copious submarine
springs is thought to be in the green
hills Of Osmen, some FIVE or six hun
dred miles distant
