this method, by showing how to restore your

herewith presented. The signal benefit of
the Great German Remedy to mankind very
reasonably induced its application to the
sufferings and ailments of the dumb crea-
ton, beginning with the Horse. People who
tried it were more than surprised by its re.
suits, as attested in the speedy and perma-
nent cure of their Stock, and they gladly
announced their experience by word Of

Peruvian Bark.

In Quito it is called 'sQuina quina,"
signifying ozark of banks" The bark
is first recorded to have been used as q
medicine in 1000. It, however, derives
its common name of chinehona from
the Countess of Chinchon. who was
cured of intermittent fever by quina,
at Lima, in 1858. In 1910 she bro ught
supply of the bark to Spain, and in
her honor Linaus named the genus
chinchona.
The Jesuits introduced the bark into
Italy, and its value was soon after gen.
orally recognized throughout Europe,
though for some time its use was OPP
posed by the Protestants. The home of
the trees in South America was discov-
cred by the French expedition which
measured an arc of the meridian near
Quito in 1885. The trees were felied
without cessation, aud in Humboldt's
time the destruction was at the rate of
twenty-five thousand trees a year. A
good tree yields from one hundred and
fifty to one hundred and seventy pounds
of:dried bark; in the best trees it peels
off with great ease.

Snew-Wh;ta Waters.

With reference TO what is known as
the xswhite water Of the Arabian Sea.
correspondent writes to Cham er's
journal as follows: s.If the call of du-
ty or pleasure should at any time in
duce any of your readers to overtake
the overland journey to India they
must not fail 10 give Instructions to be
called from bed should the nocturnal
phenomenon OF the white water oc-
cur It Is more frequently seen in the
months of July and August, and is
principally confined to a narrow belt to
the eastward of the island of Socotra,
known in the charts of that sea as the
Line of the Strongest Monsoon, and
wherein the rain-clouds on quitting
Central Africa on their passage east
ward are apparently confined. Should
the moon be above the horizon. an an
disturbed nights rest may be anticipat-
ed, as the writer has never known the
phenomenon to occur IN the presence
of that orb.
ITO give the readersome idea of this
remarkable and striking appearance,
we viii suppose ourselves I'm steamer,
about two hundred and fifty miles to
the eastward of Socotora, in the POI
sitien named, and in the latter end of
July; time, / a. m. The monsoon is
blowing strongly and steadily, the
night starlight and clear, a light fieecy
seud occasionally passing rapidly to
the eastward, and tho good vessel
bowling along at the rate of fourteen
or fifteen miles an hour. Suddenly we
discover light hue in the water,
which in a short while assumes a snow
white aspect, and in the course of
quarter of an hour extends to the no.
rizon in all directions. The transform
alton of the water is perfect, the nsu-
ally green color of the sea having been
replaced by an appearance of white
ness like that of milk. And yet, If you
draw bucket of water for inspection
and analysis, you will find that it is
beautifully clear, not a vestige of any
thing white being visible; nor can the
microscope discover anything over and
above the ordinary quantity of minute
life always present in sea-w alter within
the tropics.
1.-THE deception seems to me to adj
NIT of easy explanation, it being the re-
suit simply of reflection of color. The
vessel is passing through light misty
atmosphere, inappreeiable to the eve
while within its influence; and the
white, watery vesicles held in suspen-
sion are, in some favorable condition
of air and water, reflected on the sur
face of the latter When the phenonle-
non has lasted about an hour and half
to the experienced eye signs of its dis
solution will become visible; the vessel
is in fact passing out of its influence,
the sky line of the horizon marking the
limit of the mist. When clearly defined
the horizon-limit assumes an intense
blackness, through which the stars
shine brilliantly, and when at length
the ship apparently shoots through 1t,
the transformation seems to have been
effected by magic. Looking astern the
misty atmosphere through which we
have passed is distinctly visible; tho in
tensely black sky is gradually lowering
as the steamer speeds onward, present
" dipping below the horizon, and OBJ
literating all traces of the weird and
impressive scene :"

A Two-and-a-Half-Do Dollar Christian.

There are very many people in their
religion that remind me of ''Uncle
Phil" a pious old darkey of the old
times in Texas. Well, Phil was fer
vent christian, with q great gift of
prayer. He attended all the Sunday
night praver-mecting5 on the neighbor-
inc plantations, and could pray louder
and longer than any of the brethren.
But Phil had one weakness, he dearly
loved money. and, different from the
negro generally. he loved to hoard it.
Near by us lived Il man. who. not
troubled by any scruples. would paw
Phil dollar 30 work in his field ON
Sundays One Sunday night, as Phil
came home after dark, accosted him
with:
.'Where have you been, Philip
sob. Just knocking about, massa."
'tYou have been working for Miller. !"
:syyeii, you see, massa, the old fellow
is in needs. and he jest showed me a
silver dollar, and jest couldn't stand
it,
s.Ain't you afraid the devil viii get
YOU for breaking the Sabbath"
Phil scratched his head q minute,
and said
Il guess the Bord'l excuse me.
massa.n
NO. He says. Remember the Sab
bath day and keep it holy"
Phil went off looking pretty sober,
and it was not long before / heard his
voice in fervent prayer back of the
barn, and 50 l thought I would slip
down near enough 10 hear.

sweared at them COMPOUNDED oxen of

forgive me, for you know Use nothing

you'll jest forgive me this time, Til

The Base Of a Romance.

A Philadelphia park policeman used
TO see young man and q very pretty
Young woman drive ont there every
day for several months. Then for
time the young woman rode out with
an older man, not her father, but didn't
look as pretty as she had done. One
day the young fellow drove up 10 speak
TO the policeman just as the elderly
gentleman rode by. He called the
young fellows attention TO them. Their
eyes met; she turned hors away and
the young fellow drove off. He saw
her only few times afterward. She
rode propped up with pillows, looking
very pale. Finally the elderly gentle
man came along and the policeman
had chat with him, saving that he
missed the lady who used to come with
him. s.Yes, she died three weeks ago"
The policeman thinks there is fine
story contained in this short one, but
declines to aid the novelist by any fur
Their hints except to say that he be-
lieves that she died either from hating
the elderly gentleman, or losing the
other.

almost wholly upon the flesh and oil Of
the wallus. Clean-limbed, bright-eyesI
and jovial, they profoundly impressed
one with their happy subsistence and
reliance upon the walrus herds of Behr-
ing Sea; and it was remarked then that
these people had never been subjected
to the temptation and subsequent sor-
row-of putting their trust in princes;
hence their Independence and good
heart. But now it appears that it will
not suffice, either, to put your trust in
walrus. Scsibaeg, for july.

Domestic Danger Signals.

On the subject of domestic manage
ment may quote receipt for avoid
ing family quarrels, which think may
fairly claim credit for good sense. It
was given me by an old man as invent
ed and practised by couple whom he
used to know, down 'tChidding-lye"
way. "You see, SIR he said, 'sthey'd
agree between themselves that when
ever he came home little contrary
and out of temper, he wore his hat on
the back of his head. and then she
never said word; and if she came in
a little Grass and crooked, she threw
her shawl over her left shoulder, and
then he never said word" If SINH

ty largely used, how many unnecessary
collisions would be avoided, and how

would be safely shuntea till the line was

The Use Of tbs Walrus.

We're it not for the subsistence fur
nished so largely by the flesh and oil OF
the morse, it Is exceedingly doubtful
whether the Esquimaux of North
America, from Behring Straits clear
around to Labrador, could manage to
live. 1t is not to be inferred that wall
rus meat is the sole diet of these SIM
pie people, for that is very wide of the
truth; but there are several months OF
every year when the exigencies of the
climate render it absolutely impossible
for the hardest native to 60 out and
procure food, and then the value of the
cache of walIus meat is appreciated,
when for weeks and weeks it forms the
beginning aud the end of every meal.
The walrus responds to rs many de-
mands of the Innuit as the camel OF
the Arab, or the cocoa-palm of the
South Sea Islander. Its flesh feeds
him; its oil illuminates and warns his
dark hut; its sinews make his bird
nests; its tough skin. skilfully stretched
over the light wooden frame, consti-
tutes his famous kayak, and the SER
viceable oomiak, or bidarran; its in
testines are converted into waterproof
clothing. while the soles TO its hippers
are transferred to his feet; and. finally,
Its ivory is a source of endless utility
to him in domestic use, and in trade
and barter.
Walrus famines among the Esqui-
maux have bcen recorded in pathetic
legends by almost all of the savage
settlements in the Arctic. Even now,
as / write (November. 1880, comes the
authentic corroboration of the harsh
rtlmor of the starvation of the inhabit-
ants of ST. Lawrence Island-those
people who live just midway between
the Old World and the New, in Alas
kan waters. The winter of 1880
was one of exceptional rigor in the
Arctic. though in this country it was
unusually mild and open The ice
closed in solid around st. Lawrence
Island-so firm and mistaken BY the
mighty powers of wind and tide that
the waIrus were driven far to the south

unhappy inhabitants of that Island,
who, thus unexpectedly deprived of
their mainstay and support, seem to
have naiserably starved to death. with
the exception of one small village on
