Mountains In the Ocean.

Geology teaches that the continents

sean. IL is natural, therefore, to sup
Jse that there are inequalities in the
ottom of the ocean, like those ON the

The recent deep sea-soundings confirm
lis opinion, and reveal mountains and
ills, valleys and tablelands. The great
bt depth reached In sounding Is %, 900
20 which exceeds the height of the
,f1s3st alountain in the Himalayas.
Some Of tho mountains in tho seq
re sleeper nIld more abrupt than any on
he land. In the British Channel the
epth changes within ten miles from 600
aet TO II, 900 feet, and it is very com
aon, within Jew miles Of the coast Of
)ntinenss AID islunds, for the depth to
nang0 suddenly from few hundred
fet to many thousands. In other cases,
! in large part Of the bed of the At
mite between Europe and the United
tates, there are plateaus extending
hundreds Of miles with very slight undu-
Ations. We shall soun know the shape

Tiger Hunting.

K In 1888, in the mont4i Of April when
ncamped at Sirpur, tho vilm2ere gave
Dutram Information of a tisrr That had
been marked down in tiIe thorny iangal
o the north of the village. This part Of
be country was PLATA, md there was no
all or rnvine nenr Ontrasa started on
DOT, spear in hand, follower carrying
rifle, aud some six others bows and
rrows. The tiger broke ground ON their
pproach. OUtram followed him on foot
hDee miles, aud eventually speared him
o death. This act. it is affirmed, has
lever been eqnalHd before or since in
kandesh. On another occasion he stood
pear III hand, like a gladiator in the
rena Of Roman aInphitheater ready
or the throwing open of the wild beasts
age. The bushes were set on fire 10.
Ard the tiger, by no means relishing the
moke, came, putting and blowing ike a
Dorpoiso, every five on six seconds. to
Jet littlo fresh air, hut, scenting tho
Elephant, he was ALWAYS fam to retreat
gnin. This sort of work went ON for
ome time, and bush after bush blazed
way without producing the desired
fleet. ! could not have stood the sus-
pense whom life VAS ut stake. At last
here was low, angry growl, and
RcaIHluB rustic III the passage. The
Igor sprang out, and down descended the
Ong lance into his neck. just behind the
texter oar. With one stroke of his pow
4rful paw he smashed the spear close 70
lhe head. There was pretty business.
Mn. Tiger one step below, with the steel
sticking III his neck, which by no means
Improved his temper, had gathered his
huge headquarters below him for des-
berate spring, and my friend, armed aft
u the fashion of the South Sea Island
srs, standing on little mound breathing
Defiance aud hrandishfng his bamboo on
Aigh. Eventually the tiger was shot nv
ene of the party. Outram had some
Barrow escapes. Once, while pursuing
. tiger on foot, his companion being on
horseback, the animal charged, seized
Dutran, and rolled down the hiI with
him. Being released from the claws Of
he ferocious beast for moment, Ont
am, with great presence Of mind, drew
pistol he had with him. and shot the
iger dend. Tho Bills, ON seeing that
ie had been injured, were ono aud nll
Oald IN their grief anal expressions of re-
ret; but Out1nm quieted them with
be remark: fWhat do ] care for the

tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses Of one pill a day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than n quarter of century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are SO composed that oLstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
ful effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inAamed.
They reach the vital fountains ofthe blood.
and strengthen the system BY freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

SYMPTOMS of a Diseased Liver.


Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAM in the right side, under the edge
of the ribs, increases on pressure I;
sometimes the pain is in the left side; the
patient is rarely able to lie on the left
side; sometimes the pain IS felt under
the shoulder-blade, and it frequently ex-
tends to the top of the shoulder, and is
sometimes mistaken for a rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss ofappetiteand sickness; the bowels
in general are costive, sometimes 2lterna-
tive with lax the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally u coasiderable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with painful sensation of
having left undOne something which
ought to have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
bility; he Is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low and although he Is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distruSts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred wherefe ofthem existed,
yet examination ofthe body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been ex-
tensively dexanged.
