seek to be VIGOROUSLY mean and public
nuisance, and are successful. Who are these
"pension raiders" that we hear so much
about? What is their record of loyalty to
the government in time of trouble? Why do
they make such a fuss about disabled SOL
der getting a small pittance from the gov
eminent in shape of pension? Do they dc
this because they are friendly to the govern
ment and desire its welfare, or do they do il
because they hate those who. saved the ma.
ton? In time Of war and Strife. did they
cheer or hiss the soldiers? Did they desire
to feed or starve them? Did they wish oul
army well or i'll? Did they rejoice at oul
success. or glory i'll our reverses? We would

Mr.. Simeon Tie.sell, OF Saugerties, N. T.,
had been treated for seven years by various
physicians for what they call Structure of the

DR.. David Kennedy, OF Rondout, N. Y, who
found HIS trouble to be Urinary Calcui or
Stones In the Bladder. The doctor at once re-
moved the foreign bodies with the knife aud
then gave his great Blood Specific, "Favo.ite
Remedy" to prevent their reformation. The
entire treatment was eminently successful, and
Mr.. Tietsell's recovery was rapid and perfect.

Kidney and Bladder diseases, 1t 10 equally

Busy Men.

Busy men of affairs like Theirs have
often surprised the world by the extent
OF their literary labors. Bossuet was n
prolific writer, and the following pas
sage from the newly published "Ecrits
Inedits'' of st. Simon explains how he
reconciled his literary tastes with his
absorbing duties of Bishop of Meaux:
He know so much, and with SO much
order and method, that he wrote with
astonishing facility. He, like the poets,
had no fixed hours for work, though he
worked a great deal daily. At night he
had a fire, light, pair of pnntaloons
and dressing gown near his bed, and
nearly every night he rose and worked
alone several hours. People who were
ignorant of this circumstance were often
very much surprised that he was not out
OF his chamber Mt II a. m., and that soor,
after he rapily dressed to say mass. He
had worked until 6, aud q. M, car
ried away by his abundance and subject
The quantity of works he has left is
prodigious, and with SO many, such con-
tinual and such varied labors, he none
the less proved to be On excellent bishop,
visiting and preaching himself to his
flock, and he measured his teachings to
their mind"

Beef Tea,

Mr.. Wilkinson of ST. Mary's Hospital,
London, advises the following improved
method of preparing beef tea:
The meat is cut into small pieces and
placed in the evening, in an earthenware
vessel with sufficient cold water to cover.
the meat; in this it is allowed to remain
all night. In the morning the meat is
taken out, placed in other water, and
boiled for several hours The meat Of
the previous day is then passed through
o mincing machine, and put into, the
cold liquor in which the meat was stepped
the previous night, and upon this the
boiling liquor from the days beef tea
is poured, and the whole we'll stirred and
1T then forms the, complete beef tea The
cnaracterlstics Of good beef tea are that
oil the nutritious elements of the beef
should be made available; and by the
process carried out as above this,is effect
ually done, the albumen, fibrine, and
gelantine being MI retained and taken
by the patient Moreover, by the above
method much smaller quantity Of meat
is required than under the ordinary
mode, and it would, consequently, not
become q jelly if allowed to stand; but
by adding larger quantity of beef this
result could of course be obtained.
(This forms with us what is called beef
!elly.) 1t should, however, be remarked
that in very hot weather the beef tea
cannot be made in this manner, as it
would become sour from the length of
hmo required for it's preparation. ...

dered clothing quito needless, either for

vacant and apathetic, his arms and legs
unnaturally long and thin, he squatted
with his knees tucked into his arm-pits,
and his whole body was covered with
black hair "more than an inch long, 1"
and slightly curled on the shoulders.

which he rested when asleep, a pecul-
iarity found in the gorilla, who has q
bare spot on his back where he leans

How to Travel Like Lightning.

An imaginative man proposes the fol-
lowing plan by which he holds it possible
to transport freight and passengers by
rail from New York to San Francisco in
ten hours. What the freight or passen-
gers would be good for when delivered
he does not pretend to say. The plan is
this: GA fair rate Of speed for O. railway
train is forty miles an hour. The dis
tance from New York to San Francisco
is, roughly, three thousand miles. I
would divide this distance into thirty
parts, with stations, at every 100 miles.
First o track, not differing greatly from
the ordinary railroad track, should be
laid for hundred miles, and it is only
necessary to study rapid transit accord
ing to my plan over this section of tho
road to understand how the whole system
would work, Over the first track of 100
miles, and running over cannon balls
upon the track, is another, say 80 miles
long, ON which, In turn, is another, 80
miles long, and so on till on the whole
system the freight and passenger train
runs, 1t being of any desired and practi
cable strength. Suppose it is required
to go from A to B, a distance of 100 miles.
the stable track over which all the
others run is, of course, 100 miles long,
and the first movable track upon it is 80
miles long. Let the first movable track
be drawn by a stationary engine the 10
remaining 10 miles, whereby one of its
eXtremltles will reach B, and let us say
that 1T takes fifteen minutes forit tomove
through the ten miles. In the meantime
the track'eighty miles long which runs
on the track ninety miles long will have
been advanced ten miles by the motion
OF the ninety mile track, and will itself
(elther'by means Of q stationary engine
or locomotlve) have advanced ten miles
on Its own hook, 30 that in all it will have
gone twenty miles in the fifteen minutes.
and its extremity will reach B at the
same time that B is reached by the
ninety mile track. Sowith the seventy,
the sixty, the fifty tracks, and up to the
passenger and freight trains, which will
reach 3 as soon as the ninety mile track
reaches B-that is to say, in fifteen min
utes, at the end of which it will have
travelled about 100 miles. Perhaps the
following statement will make the mat
ter clearer. Let us call the ninety mile
track A., the eighty mile track B, and so
on. A is drawn ten miles, carrying with
it B for the same distance. But 3 has
Il motion of its own and travels over ten
miles on its own account. It has there
fore gone 20 miles. @, with q ten milo
motion of it's own over B, which draws
it along, has gone 80 miles, d, 40; E, so;
F, 60; G, 70; H, so; I, 90; j (Which is
the passenger and freight train), 100
miles, and all in fifteen minutes. The
whole system of tracks need not be more
than four or five feet in height. With
sufficient power the scheme is practical
ble, and with motors at present at our
command it would work for short dis
tances.-Scientifc american.
