Having had numberleSs inquiries for
advertising cards from ladies in all
parts OF the country who are INTEREST,"
cd In the prevailing fashion OF making
"Card COLLECTIONS" we are having
printed for them a set OF seven beauti-
tul cards, each in six Oolors and on
gold background, In the very highest
degree of art, illustrating Shakspeare's
"Seven Ages oil Man," We have spared
no expense in these cards-they are
simply little art gems. Our only aim
has been to publish the finest cards yet
shown. Applications tor them have
come In so rapidly that nearly the
whole edftlon Is engaged before the
receipt by us of the cards from the
artist. We have therefore been obliged
to adopt the. following plan for the dis
tribution of the remainder: No more
of the gilt Shakespeare cards, seven In
the series, will be sent excepting upon
the receipt OF statement from a grocer
that the person applying for the cards
has bought of him on that day at least
seven bars OF Dobblns' Electric Soap,
with price paid for same. All apply
Ing In this manner tciH receive the tull
set OF seven cards gratis by mail. This
will insure us that our friends and pa
irons get their share of these beautiful
designs, although 1t in no manner re-
pays us for the cost of the cards. Your
grocer has the soap or will get 1t, aid
the purchase by you of seven bars OF
1t at one time will secure for you gratis
seven really beautiful cards. The soap
improves with age, and Is an article OF
nnAnCpifvy I'm
Therefore you are not asked to buy
useless article, but one that you must
have any way. Please send us your
application at once, and tell your lady
friends making "Card Collections" to
do the same. GrOcers do iOC have the
cards to deliver. Buy the soap OF them,
send rs their bill, and zoe villa mail you
the cards free. Yours respectfully,

FACTS ABOUT FLoUR.-F1our Is par.
tieularly sensitive to atmospheric in
fiuences, hence it should never be
stored in room with sour liquids, OF
where onions or fish are kept, nor any
ether article that taints the air of the
room in which it is stored. Any smell
perceptible TO the sense will be abb
sJrbed by flour. Avoid damp cellars,
or lofts where free circulation of air
cannot he obtained. Keep in cool
dry, airy room, and not exposed to a
freezing temperature, nor to intense
natural or artificial heat for any length
of time above 20 to y degrees Fahren-
heIt. 1t should not come in contact
with grain or other substances which
are liable to heat. Flour should be
sifted and the particles thoroughly
dIslntegra.ed and then warmed before
baking.

What an Earthquake Did.-A curious
result seems to have followed a recent
earthquake at Bucharest. The soil of
Bucharest is rich, black, porous vege-
table mould, very springy under press
ure, and carriages passing in a street
cause strong vibration in the adjacent
houses. The Grand hotel boulevard, +,
however, was an exception to the gen.
eral l.rule, and in the rooms facing the
principal street, on which there is a
heavy traffic, mo sensible effect was felt
from passing vehicles. During the re-
cent earChq uake the windows and
crockery and less massive constructed
buildings ratified very sc nsibly, where
as there was no audible sound in the
hotel. Since the earthquake shock,
however, this state Of things has
changed entirely, and every vehicle
passing the hotel causes vibration in
the whole building. The singular part
Of this change is that the effect pro-
duced by the vehicle is the same as that
accompanying the earthquake. 1t is
not jar as previously produced IN
other buildings, but saving motion
similar to that felt in the late shock.
This movement is so great as to cause
pictures to sway backward and for
ward on tue walls. However, there is
not crack in it. Hence, it is thought
this change in the solidity of the struct-
ure appears to be due to some effect
produced in the earth underneath the
building by the shock of earthquake.

artificial Indigo. Mr.. Adolph Baeyer,
of Munich, has discovered that by the
action of sulphuric acid upon orthoni-
ropbenylpropiolic acid a new product
may be obtained which is capable of
being converted into new colering
matters, or a dyestuff, which he calls
artificial indigo. The author says: 81
take orthonitropbenylpropiolic acid.
and in the Geld mix the said acid with
sulphuracid-say, for instance, with
from about ten TO twenty parts, by
weight, of sulphuric acid or about 1.S4
specific gravity 10 every one part, by
weight of orthonitrophenylTr ropiol1c
acid employ ed. In effecting the said
mixture care is to be taken to avoid a
considerable rise of temperature, say.
about 20 deg. Centigrade. The mix
ture thus obtained quickly assumes a
bright yellow or orange color, and the
reaction is allowed to proceed in the
cold until a sample Of the mixture,
upon being tested for the presence of
orthC nitro phenylpropiolic scid by
means of glucose and alkalies. no long
er contains any appreci BILE quantity of
the said acid. I'll q sUlphuric acid m x
lure thus produced Is then submit ted
to IL e action OF suitable reducing or
deoxidizing agents in order to effect
the conversion into artificial indigo.
SIN practice have found number Of
substances belon giBg to various classes
CT chemical compounds which act as
deOxidizing agents upon the above
mentioned new project, and l may
specially mentioned ferrous sulphate
(green vitr.ol, copperas.) AS an ex-
ample of the manner in which prefer

take the orange -colored mixture result
ing fl ON the treat ment of one part, by
weight Of orthonitrophenylprcpiolic
acid with about from ten TO twenty
parts sulphur ic aC Id as above described
and L mix the same with q solution
Containing about five paris, by weight,
Of ferrous su phate. The mixture is
tlen allowed TO stand at the ordinary
temperature, until the blue co'or,
which it quickly assumes, is fully de-
veloped, and the dyestuff or coloring
matter TINS produced may be separa-
ted out OF the mass by dilutiLg the re-
suit of the operation with water, by
which is new dye tuff is precipita-
ted, and may be filtered and washed
The dyestuff is then ready for use.
The characteristic Of my new dyestuff
CT coloring matter, prepared according
to n Y above d, scribed process, are the
following: The dyestafr or coloring
IN after resembles in appearance vege-
table indigo, and it can be used in
dyeirg In manner similar to it; but
it is in great part soluble In analine
at an ordinary temperature, and also
in an aqueous solution of sulphurous
acii."

piled; ''but you hug so tight you

CORN SILKS AS A REMEDY Who
would have thought that the silk on
an ear of green corn was q powerful
and efficient remedy for dropsy, for
bladder troubles and for the diseases
of the kidneys? In the Louisville
Medical NeaCS we find an account of the
medical properties of corn-silk and the
cures that have been effected by its
use. The way so use it is ID take
two double-handfuls of fresh corn-silk
and boil in two gallons of water until
but gallon remains. Add sugar to
make syrup. Drink tumblerful of
this thrice daily, and it will relieve
dropsy by increasing the flow of the
urine most enormously. O5her dis
eases of the bladder and kidneys are
benefited by the remedy. which 1s
prompt, eff Gent, and grateful to the
stomach. The treatment can be con-
tinued for months without danger or
inconvenience.
