Complicated Diseases.

A prominent gentleman in Cerro
Gordo County, Iowa, writes us that he
finds Kidney-Nor to be the best reme-
dy he ever knew for complication of
diseases. 1t is the specific action
which it has on the liver, kidneys and
bowels, which gives it such curative
power, and it is the thousands of cures
which it is performing which gives it
its great celebrity. Liquid VERY con-
centrated) or dry, both act efficiently.

An Egg Bath.

A Paris plumber took an involuntary
egg bath fortnight ago. He was pre-
pairing the tiles Of a house, in the Rue
Manbuee, when, his foot having slip
ped, he fell off the roof into the street
below. Just then market gardeners
cart happened to pass by the house,
laden with baskets full of eggs and osier
cages containing live poultry, and the
man falling into the midst of this load
crushed two cages, killing about a
dozen fowls, and finally was engulfed
in an enormous basket of eggs. When
withdrawn from his liquid tomb the
plumber looked like an omelette, but,
excepting few slight bruises, he was
afe and sound

An Apparently Authentic Case OF Premo-
milton

Here ;s a true story which contains
some interesting features: A short time
since. as the $40 train was on Its way
from Salem to Boston at full speed a
man occupied a left hand seat near the
center Of the car, next to the window.
He was, of course, on that side OF the
car nearest to any train that might pass
ON the other track. Az he sat there
This speculation, without any particu
lar cause, entered his head: Suppose
a freight train should pass, and piece
Of lumber should break away from It's
moorings and so far project out as to
come tearing along the side of the pas
senger train, how many passengers be-
tween the center and rear end of the
car would have presence of mind sufii-
cient to jump out of the way on receiy-
ing warning of the first collision at the
front end of the car? 1t was not a
thought inspired by fear or nervous
ness, but simply one of those specula-
tons that will enter mans mind in
moment of idleness, when he is gliding
along in comfort in railroad car. The
thought passed away, and the man
picked up his newspaper and began to
read with mind at ease. Nc more
than five minutes elapsed, and possibly
three, when thump and crash were
heard which challenged the attention
Of every person in the car, and justified
the stopping of the train for a moment
to see what had happened. 1t was
found that a passing freight train had
struck the passenger-car at exactly
the point where the man
was sitting who had been
indulging IN his speculation about that
kind of an accident! The window
where he was sitting was smashed in,
a hole was stove in the side of the car
so that the outside daylight could come
IN, the iron work which supports the
seat the side of the car was wrencned
from its place and broken, and piece
of wood, perhaps two feet in length,
five inches in breadth, and half an inch
thick Or more, from the passing trim,
was hurled into the car either through
the window or otherwise, and fell at the
mans feet? In fact, there was wreck
right at the point where the man was
sitting, and his coat was coyerd with
splinters and broken glass. But, not
withstanding all this, he did not expe-
rience even a scratch, and so quickly
was the whole thing done that he is not
even conscious of experiencing any
more of shock than any other pas
senger in the train, or, in fact, of any
shock whatever beyond the noise of
the crash? 1t was really maj
yelous escape, and very strange in
view of the passing thought that had
entered the PERSONS mind few mo-
ments previously. The man alluded
to was the writer OF this paragraph,
who was at first inclined to laugh and
Joke abou, the affair with the other
passengers, but who, on more deliber
ate thought, was inclined to think the
circumstances were sufficiently remark
able to justify this little narrative, not
by way of fostering superstitlous tend
enCies, which need no special cultiva-
ton in the human mind, but to furn-
ish one more of those striking coinci-
dences of thought and event that are
often so curious, and to show how Won
derful may be an escape from death

A Good Housewife.

The good housewife, when she is
giving her house its spring renovating,
should bear in mind that the dear In
mates Of her house are more precious
than many houses, and that their systems
need cleansing by purifying the blood,
regulating the stomach and bowels to
prevent and cure the diseases arising
from spring malaria and miasma, and
she must know that there is nothing
that will do it so perfectly and surely
as Hop Bitters, the purest and best Of
