lin, of SOnerville, Mass, is so remarkable that
we beg TO ask for ii the attention of our read
ers. He says: "ln the fall of 1876 was taken
with violent bleeding OF the lungs followed
by a severe cough I soon began to lose my
appetite and :lc,h. was SO weak at one time
that could not leave my bed. In the summer
of 1877 / was admitted to the City Hospital.
While there the doctors said l had a hole in
my left lung as big AS half collar L cXpend-
Ell over q hundred dollars in doctors and med.
icine. 1 WAS SO far gone at one time report

but {: friend told me of DR.. WM. HALLS BALsAM
PoR THE LUNGS. laughed at my friends, think
ing that my case was lncurable, but got

and qualification, commenced TO feel better.
My hope, once dead, began to revive, and to-
day feel in better spirits than have the past
three years

The First Oyster Eater.

Who first ate an oyster ?" is a momen-
tous inquiry that has lately puzzled some
of the volunteer correspondents of an East
ern newspaper, who are inclined to treat
it in spirit Of unbecoming levity. The
courage of that man, whoever he may have
been, was, is generally argued sublime. The
discussion raises another question, and
that is, whether there may not be NUM-
Der of other delicious edibles whose true
qualities are unknown. Why may not the
rattlesnake and the snail have undiscov-
cred properties that would, if properly de-
veloped, please and tickle the palate? But
to return to the oyster; One writer sug-
gested that Moses may have been the first
oyster eater, as he had special opportuni-
ties in passing through the Red Sea for
learning the true nature of the marine an
imals. Another says that Moses could not
have been the man, as the Jews were for.
hidden to eat all marine animals not pro-
vided with fins and tail. But again it is
shown that this prohibition did not apply
to Moses, as Deuteronomy had not been
written when he passed through the Red
Sea. But there is an equal presumption
that Homer was the man, as he was blind
and hard pressed for food; or it may have
been heather deity, as we have no Other
apparent reason for the deifying Of some
| of them,

Hints About Reading.

Reading book after book in uninterrupt-
ed succession lisa habit of many people who
delude themselves with the idea that they
are acquiring stores of knowledge. We are
| tempted to say that it would be better to
read no book at all. The habit we speak
of is pernicious, and ifpersevered in, fatal
to the intellectual faculties.
One might as well eat all the time and
leave no period for digestion. There is a
certain method about reading profta5ly.
The index ofthe book, if it have one, should
be mastered. Before attacking the book,
test yourself as the subject treated, and
settle in your own mind in what order and
fashion you would handle the theme. Then
go over the work and reduce its contents
mentally to the leading thoughts, PROPOSE
lions or facts which give it any value. This
is not q laborous matter, nor is it bore
it does not lessen the pleasure of reading
and it greatly enhances the profit. Pro-
fessional men know that sufficient treatises
must be read in this way, and literary men
who have any art in their calling pursue
the same course. The most slovenly habits
os reading are in the line of fiction This
is decidedly unfair, since many of the most
brilliant intellects of the age seek an audi
ence through this channel.
A great novel is not to be dispatched off
hand In short, if you do not see proper
to pursue systematized course of reading,
at least make it q fixed habit to get clear,
definite and permanent impression of what
you do read.

Chinese Dainties.

The New York correspondent Of the In
dianapolis Journal gives an interesting des-
cription of how the Chinese New Year was
celebrated by the Celestials in that city.
At one Chinese clubhouse he was invited
to partake Of refreshments, and says:
"On the table were eight dishes to be
eaten out Of in common: dish Of greasy
candy, . red jelly, with wooden toothpicks
sticking up IN it . pan ofdesiccated hash
Of some kind did not inquire its pedi-
gree some boiled rice, and some tea. !
chewed up some Of the dry and brittle
Celestial hash, and actually swallowed it,
and I liked some of the jelly of the tooth
picks, and stuck them up again, as ! saw
others do. Itwas very platable. A dis
6nguished Chinaman was sitting Mt the
table, and he would go Tor one gram Of rice
with the chopsticks, and snap it up as un-
erringly as q humming-bird snaps up a
mustard seed. Inever see our almond-eyed
brother eat with chopsticks without feel
ing that he belongs to q superior races
