Vital Questions!

Ask the most eminent physician
OF any school what is the best thing in
the world for quieting and allaying all ir-
ritation of the nerves and curing all
forms of nervous complaints, giving nat
ural, childlike, refreshing sleep always,
And they will tell you unhesitatingly
"Some form of Hops" .'.

physicians
"What is the best and only remedy
that can be relied on to cure all diseases

eases and ailments peculiar to women"
And they will tell you explicitly and

The Real Facts About MIR. Tildon's Health.
Wdchtd (Rdn) Times.
To crafty the curiosity of those of our
readers who are interested politically and
otherwise in the welfare and health of our
esteemed friend Samuel ]. Tilden, we have
been taking the reports issued every day
from Gramercy Park, as follows:
Monday, 6 a. MIR Tilden rose at

wood is now taking hearty breakfast.
Tuesday-Mr. L. is so feeble that he can't

Wednesday noon-A Texas steer being

IN THE PUNJAB.
Stories that Throw Light on the Habit
and SuperstitiOns OF the People.


and SuperstitiOns or the People.
The Rev. Mr.. Morrison, Presbyterian
missionary who has lately returned from Pun
jab, tells the Troy Times some stories of the
habits of the natives there, which throw
strong light upon the social condition of the
people.
In passing a native village" he says,
Cooking at any of the new houses and you
will see large bunch of marigolds or some
other bright object over the door or in the
window. This is to attract the evil eye and
keep it from dwelling on the house itself.
The people believe that any of their enemies
can do them injury by looking upon the
house and cursing it, and the name of those
enemies is legion, for neighbors are all the
time quarreling with each other, In fact the
men and women spend most of the evening
on the housetops assailing their neigh at
large with curses and vile names, the wo omen
being especially bad in this respect
" The depth of superstition there is very
great STILL though there is certainly break
ing of the crust, and it will not be long,
hope, before the whole is swept away. 1t is
no uncommon thing to see the students of
our colleges-still heathens themselves-cor-
ner some old Brahmin, make him sit down
with them, and ply him with questions in
science and theology for the sake of laughing
at his stupidity aud ignorance. Their vene.
ration for their priests and temples is fast
passing away. preached once lately on the
steps of temple in native village great
statue of a bull sadded and bridled, ready to
be ridden by the god of the temple, stood
beside me; 1t was extremely sacred. As

animal. The affair had an unexpected result,
though, for when / passed that way again
they told me that it had cost them fifty rupees
to sanctify the temple after my deflement of
it.

THE OLDEST DOLL IN THE WORLD.
BY LILLE f. BARR.

l.
In Britain's great museum, on a shelf
In the Egyptian ROOM saw last year
The oldest doll in the world-an elf
Grimy and grim, and cold, and very queer,
with mead Of blackened clay-the rudest toy
That ever gave little maiden Joy.
H.
Taken from out the dusky, mummied arms
ofa small child, 1t had perchance been bought
In hundred. gated Tnebes, while yet alarms
OF the 6eroe shepherd kings were kept in

And put with her beneath the coffin lid,
When men were building the first pyramid.

Close to an innocent, warm, beating heart;
Been kiss'd and scolded, aud then kiss'd again,
Just as our waxon beauties, fair and gay,
Delight the little maidens of to- day.

Tency may be supplied by imported gold, by
the annual product of the mines, or by the
coinage of the silver dollar, upon which the
silver certificates are now issued, and shows
that the excess of gold imports is growing
smaller, and says the probability is that the
gold now held by us will. not long hence, be
greatly diminished. The substitution OF
standard silver dollars for retired circulation
would be simply the Introduction of an in
ferior currency. In answer to the proposition
that treasury notes. as we'll as silver certfi-
Gates may be issued in the place of the bank
notes to be retired, the Comptroller SAYS:
''rhe treasury is embarrassed with reve-
nue. greater than It's needs and greater than it
can judiciOusly disburSe Under such cir
cumstances, the authorizing of Con-
gress TO print additional treasury notes
would lead to still greater embarrassment and
place in the treasury circulating notes at
time when the most important subject be-
fore Congress is the reduction of redundant
revenue and the employment of the surplus
in the overlooking treasury, If it were pos
sible to issue additional treasury notes when
the revenues of the government were so
much greater than its expenditures and
simultaneously with the yearly addition of
silver dollars now authorized by law, it is
evident that such steps would lead plainly
from a gold to a silver standard. An issue
of additional treasury notes will weaken the
treasury, and be likely to create doubts of
the ability of the government to pay gold on
demand, and the. government by declining
to pay in gold, thus taking from
the holder the option of payment,
may at any time bring the nation upon the
silver standard, advancing the price of prod
ucts and demonetzng the entire gold coin
of the country. In such q crisis the reserve
gold in the treasury will be continually di-
minished, on the-one hand, by the presenta-
ton of its notes for payment while it's reve-
nue., on the other hand, will not be increased
by the customs duties paid in gold, as at
present, but by the return of silver dollars
and silver certificates, which will, under exist
ing laws, sooner orlater drive every dollar of
gold coin out of circulation. bringing upon
the country much greater contraction
than it is now proposed to prevent"
