Irevann1on OF the butler at the rectory.

:" Mr.. Smithers is at home, sir. but

answer.

The custom house yesterday. He was
apparently quite well when he started.
In two hours he was brought home,
alive, 1t Is true, but in an unconscious
state. l understand that, in order to
satisfy the authorities, it was necessary
to examine the coffin, and this was done
In his presence. Whilst the operation
was proceeding he appears TO have

his carriage and sent home at once. He
never spoke afterward. There will be
an inquest, OF course. But. no doubt,

Smithers, may 1 ask, left widow ?"
" Well, no. And yet it Is not abso-

Is, my poor friend was bereaved of his

a lady. of great beauty, apparently at

her position. On the advice of her doc

and never returned. If she is dead,
there is no proof of her death; if alive,

How They Beat the Old Man.

The marital knot can be tied In other
ways than by an eIopement in case stern
parents object. Miss Amanda Kingley
and Mr.. HenryiDufield, of Sedalia, Mo-,
concluded q few weeks ago to make
themselves one, the objections of the
fair maiden's father to the contrary not
withstanding, and arranged the matter
thusly: After breakfast one morning
Amanda walked out of her house and
over to MIR. Dufield's, followed by her
angry father. On the latter's arrival
there he found a justice of the peace
performing the ceremony, with one OF
the bridegroom's brothers in the hall

Working the Ground wbi,e vy.,.

The temptation Is often great to use a
fair month for the preparation of the
soil for crops before the water is suffi-
GENTLY dried off, or drained out of it. to
warrant its being stirred at all. Thus
the gain of forty-eight hours in time is
often serions detriment to the field for
the entire season. Light sandy loans
are not injured in this way, but every
clayey loan Is, and as general rule, so is
any soil which ever dries IL humps. The
pillow presses the furrow slices into clods.
which often dry like pressed bricks and
the treading of the teams in narrowing
makes bad worse, though the harrow
tears them up somewhat; even heavy
loan may be worked into hight, por-
Gus, warm seed-bed if in proper condi-
ton for blowing before being worked.

Divorce in italy.

Rome Dispatch to the London Standard

be accorded only in cases where legal

viously taken place, and where this shall
have lasted SIX years in cases where there
is offspring, and three years where there
is none. Now the minister of justice has

Church Rivalry in London.

from the London FchO.l
Some time ago the Unitarians started
Sunday evening services at Bermondsey
Town Hall, which were SO great a sue
cess that Orthodoxy grew en-
vious. Accordingly a religious service
society was started The vestry does
not allow the use of the hall on Sunday
to any one particular body for a longer
term than one month, if there are any
other applicants, SO the Unitarians were
temporarily ousted. The Orthodox
party then sent in FIVE different applica-
tioDs for five successive months, SO as to
keep the heterodox people out alto

to nail together, make thin plaster OF
lime, coal oil aud sulphur, saturate each

to the wash. Nests In the house should
always be hung up. a very good one,
for Leghorns, is twelve inches square,

inches st the top to within three inches
of the bottom, which is nailed on after
the square is put together. For the
larger breeds they should be in proper

Dyspepsia Murders sheep.

Destroys appetite renders life miserable. Well has
it been depicted as a fend which eeaseIessiy tor
ments its victims. Though it cannot be driven from
its stronghold, the stomach, by ordinary means, it
may be annihilated with Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. Weakness OF the digestive organs lies at the
root Of dyspepsia The natural chemical solvent of
the food is insufticiently secretsd by the organ
whence Z takes its source, ard the raw material
upon which it should act lies Ike lump of lead in
the stomach, fermentnE and causing heartburn,
and the manifold tortures from which dyspeptcs
suffer. AL this trouble is removed By tie Bitters,
which promotes sufficient secretion Of the gastric
iuca by stimulating and strengthening tie cellular
tissue Of the stomach. Debility, bi,ousn,ss, fever
and aRue. ailments OF the urinary organs and rher-
natisn, are alse remedieble 10y the BItters

Valuable for Eea-DrinEaxs


1t is well known that the green tea
AFFECTS the nerves much more than the
black tea, which is believed to arise
from the different mode of preparation.
For making green tea the leaves are put
over the fire and partially dried directly
after they are picked, but with black tea
the leaves are put into q basket and then
exposed to the influence Of the atnaos-
phere for twenty or thirty hours, during
which time a slight fermentation takes
place, and the color of the leaf changes
from green to brown or charcoal hue
this IS easily seen by the infusion of the
dried leaf OF black and green tea. the
leaf after infusion will show the different
colors named); they are then put over
the fire and finished. lie this country
about 2l5, 600, 900 pounds are delivered
yearly, of which about 100000 900 are
exported, but the proportions are aboat
207, 900, 600 of black and 1000, 900 of
green, oolong and Japan. While in
America the black tea imported is about
$3.50, 900, the green tea Including
oolong and uncolored Japan tea, which
possess nearly the same properties of
green) amount to So, 900, 600. Would
not this excessive use of green account
for the opinion of the American doctors
as to the effect of tea on the nervous
system? doubt very much if a pound
of black tea, boiled down in the same
way as the young Tyson mentioned,
would poison either rabbits or cats with
the same dose. There is no doubt the
fermentation of the leaves of black tea
reduces the amount of the active prin-
cipal theme that you find in green.
Another thing. In preparing tea for
the table, boiling water is put on the
leaf and an infusion made which is at
once partaken Of But whoever would
think OF boiling tea to drink? By so
doing you extract from the stalk and
woody fiber Of the leaf an acrid decoc-
ton that 10 one would find pleasure in
taking, and fron which woody part
would be most likely extracted poison
GUS qualities mentioned. In tea-drink-
ing European countries, as Germany,
Russia, ETC., scarcely any green is used,
and doubtless the great increase in the
consumption in this country arises from
the almost universal use of black tea,
green being only used in mixing with it
to impart a flavor, and while of late
years the consumption of black tea has
largely increased, that of green has re-
manned stationary. which clearly shows
the taste in this country is entirely diff
ferent from that of America. May we
long continue IN this country to enjoy
"the cup which cheers but not inebri-
ates. Pal MaU Gazette.
