A Simple Cure for Dyspepsia.

\ gentleman has cured himself of a
chronic and ugly form of dyspepsia in Il
very simple way. lie was given up to die,
but he finally abandoned alike the doctors
and the drugs, and resortcd to method of
treatment which most doctors and most
persons would laugh at as an old woman
remedy. 1t was simply the swallowing of
teacupful of hot water before breakfast
every morning. He took the water from
the cooks teakettle, and so hot that he
could only take it by the spoonful For
about three weeks this morning dose was
repeated, and dyspepsia all the while de-
creasing. At the end of that time he could
eat, he says, any breakfast or dinner that
any well person could eat-had gained in
weight, and has ever since been hearty and
well. His weight now is thirty or forty
pounds greater than during the dyspepsia
suffering, and for several years he has had
no trouble with his stomach-unless it was
temporary inconvenience due to a late sup
per or dinner out, and in such case
single trial of his nte-breakfast remedy
was sure to set all things right. He OBJ
tanned this idea from a German doctor.
and in turn recommended it to others, and
in every gentleman's account, cure was
effected

ORCHILLA

Is no new thing. For eighteen years it has
been undergoing trial, and well has it stood
the test At first its progress to favor was
naturally slow; but merit will, sooner or later,
have its reward, and now its sales every year
are largely increased over those of the pre-
ceding year, and the friends of its early days
are its best friends now.
1t has been used extensively in Maryland,
Pennsylvania and Virginia, and from its album
dant success everywhere, we are justified in
recommending it to you as being well adapted
to your soils. No fertilizer for your use has
had such unvarying success and continued
popularity. Some of the largest and best
farmers in these three states use it almostex
clusively.
It is Successful, because it is Nature
own provision for her exhausted fields.
It is Low Priced, because we have none
of the expense of manufacturers, and, with
out regard to its high commercial value, we
base its price solely upon its actual cost to
import.
We refer you below to some of the farmers
who have used it, and ask you to enquire OF
them as to its merits.

Venice.

Many persons are under great misap-
prehension as to the means of transit or To-
comotion in Venice. 1t is mistake to
suppose that there are no streets, and that
it is absolutely necessary to go from place
to place by gondola. 1t is true that three
bridges-the Rialto bridge of the middle
ages, and two modern iron bridges-span
the Grand Canal which divides the city in
equal halves; it is true that the city is
built upon III islands, intersected by $50
small canals and 2,480 passages; but
almost every one of the water streets have
quay or foot-path bordering it, while 400
bridges unite island to island, so that it is
quite possible to go to every part of the
city on foot, although few perhaps would
care to do so, for there is not, in all the
world, more difficult place for the traveller,
guided only by the slight of nature" to
find given spot. That spot may be only
a few hundred yards away, but to reach it
he may have to cross half dozen bridges,
some leading to the right, and some to the
left, and traverse as many squares, of which
there are 1913, 127 squares, and 469snaller
squares.

CHARLES NJ. KING, Damascus, Mont
gomery Co., Nd, July "A, 1888, says: 81
have been using Orchlla Guano for a number
of years. | formerly used good deal of A.
A. Mexican, and when that could no longer
be had genuine, was induced to try Orchilla.
| soon found it had remarkable virtue, and
have used it ever since, when | could get it.
Its effects show plainly on my farm. Last
year it made me t,centy- Seren bushels of wheat
where only had twelve before; and on that
field now stands clover over three feet high
1t made me fourteen barrels of corn to the
acre last year, where | could only raise seven
or eight before. | tried some this spring, by
sowing it i'll February, as is recommended,
and letting it lie till ready to plough and put
in corn, and where put it any one can see
the corn is greener and stronger. am sat
isfed Orchilla is a valuable improver of the
soil, and now that | can get it at Mt. Airy, at
low freight, | will use more of it than ever.
1t is sometimes slow, Int ii IS sure

Earth's March Through the Heavens.

1t is difficult to comprehend that, in adj
ditiOn to the earths motion around the
sun, the latter is also moving through space
at the rate Of l60,000,000 miles a year
The astronomers of the last century dis
covered that our solar system was flying
through space in the direction of the con-
stellation Hercules; in other words, if the
spectator were to take Il stationary point in
the heavens, he would see our sun with its
attending planets passing through space
at the rate Of 400, 600 miles per day Six
thousand years ago, it is computed, our
solar system was million millions of miles
farther from the stars Of Hercules than it
is to-day. The region in which we are
entering is more thickly studded with stars,
that is, with suns of other solar systems,
than the heavenly regions we have left
behind us. What a marvellous universe
we live in When We travel on Il railway
car at the rate of fifty miles an hour, it
makes our heads swim; but when we call
to mind that the earth reyolves on its axis
once in twenty four hours and around the
sun, % 100000 miles distant. in 800 days.
and that sun is flying through space 160.-
100000 miles in a year, human conscious
ness cannot comprehend the mad whirl of
worlds by which we are surrounded. What
fairy tale or Arabian Nights story is half
so marvellous as the simplest and most or
binary facts in astronomy?

SAMUEL. HOPKINS & BRO, Colesville,
Montgomery county, Md, wrote, March 9TH,
1883 :-''Somc nine years ago we bought Il
tract of land, about four miles from Sandy
Springs 1t was very poor land, covered with
scrubbv pines. We cleared it and applied
manure. which we hauled from Washington,
every year up to 1880. This involved great
deal of labor, trouble and expense, and that
year, hearing of the remarkable success of
Orchilla Guano in other sections, and its low
price, we concluded to try it. We put in
crop of rye with it, and had splendid results.
The next year we used four tons of it. Before
the crop was made we sold the place, but the
rye and grass which followed greW so rank
that the new owner complained he could not
CIT 1t. We then bought our present home,
near ColesviIle, where we continue to use Or
chilla, and the grain and grass we have been
growing from its use are as fine as can be
found. We also applied Orchilla Guano in
1880 on the farm of Mrs. Richardson, which
adjoined ours. We there applied 4OOpounds
of Orchilla to the acre; it cost S25 per ton.
Beside it we applied Peruvian Guano at the
rate of 600 pounds to the acre; it cost $50 per
ton At harvest the straw from the Peruvian
was about six inches higher than that from
the Orchilla, but it did not yield one grain
more rye. In our judgment Orchilla Guano
is as good Il fertilizer as any other we know
of, and costs much less, and we think it suits
