The disease commences with slight

lar system, and the afflicted drags out n
miserable existence until death gives
relief from suffering. The disease is

but If the reader will asked himself the

may not be present at one time, but they

pear, and the usual treatment proves en-
iirely unavailing against this latter ago
nizing disorder. The origin of this mala-
DIV is indigestion dyspepsia, and small
quantity of the proper medicine will
remove the disease if taken IN its incl
piency. 1t is most important that the
disease should be promptly and properly
treated in its first stages, when little
medicine will effect a cure and even
when it has obtained a strong hold the
correct remedy should be preserved in
until every vestige of the disease is
eradicated, until the appetite has re.
turned, and the digestive organs restored
to healthy condition. The surest and
most effectual remedy for this distressing
complaints is "Seigel's Curative Syrup

A Big Yield of Potatoes.

About 1856 or 1856 a man by tlle
name of Parker, who lived on the Mok-
elumne river, in San Joaquin county,
made oath before the Commissioners of
the San joaquin Agricultural Society
that he had raised $500 bushels of po-
tatoes on an acre. The story was so
astonishing that committee was APP
pointed to investigate it. They report
ed that the ground was planted as usual
in the spring, and matured large crop
of potatoes; that before the potatoes
were dug the June rise of the river sent
the water near to the surface, produ-
cling second crop on the surface, the
ground being neariy covered with the
potatoes. When the water went down,
a month or two later, third crop set
in and matured below the first. The
committee dug several hills, which pro-
duced from seyenty-fve to eighty-seven
pounds each. The top potatoes were
sunburned and worthless for the table;
the first crop was, of course, worthless,
and but a small quantity of the lower
or third crop was good. The digging
and weighing Of the potatoes was not
very carefully cone. A close estimate
would probably have rednced the fig
ures considerably, but no one who ex-
amined the field placed the yield at less
than 1, 200 bushels to the acre. The
ground was utterly exhausted, produc-
ing nothing for some wears thereafter.

The Pioneer of the Park.

Mr.. Geo. w. Marshall, proprietor of the
Fire Hole Basin hotel, left for the cast last
week. Mr.. Marshall will visit relatives
at Rock Island, Illinois, during the holi-
days. and will then go on to Washington
to secure lease to his property in the
Park, an GRAND which ought to, and
doubtless will, be successful. Mr.. Mar
shall is the pioneer resident of the geyser
basin; owned the first stage line that ran
into the National Park; his family was
the first that wintered there; the first
child that was born in the aEnchanted
Land" was his daughter, Rosa Park, now
three years old, and IN 1nahy other ways
he is entitled to consideration as the avant
courier of civilization in Wonderland. Be-
sides conducting his business as hotel
keeper to the satisfaction Of his guests,
and the travelling public, Mr.. MARSHALL
has probably done more than any private
citizen toward improving the highways
leading into the Park, in doing which he
has expended many hundreds Of dollars.

Mermaids.

OF course there are mermaids. The
man who gets up and asserts to the
contrary is mad because he never saw
one himself. Mermaids do not live in
mill-ponds, rivers or lakes, but make
their homes in the green sea. Several
attempts have been made to induce u
band of them to set UP housekeeping
in Lake Erie, but the waters are too
fresh and lake Captains swear too much.
Those who have seen 500 OF 400
mermaids agree in pronouncing them
all that the most fastidious could de-
sire. They have sparkling eyes, Grecian
noses, small ears, delicate hands, white
te>th, dimpled chins and swan-liko
throats, and the way they smile at an
old wiIower is enough to melt the iron
nails in the heels of his boots.
The genuine mermaid is half fish,
half woman, and there is no moro
beautiful sight in the world than to
stand on the ocean beach ut sunrise ON
o summer morning and watch dozen
of these creatures disporting in the
flashing element. At one moment they
dive down and secure handfuls Of
pearls to toss in the ar; at another
they fan each other with pieces of coral
worth 5000 per pound. Their sweet
voices blend deliciously as they strike
up their morning song, and Their ring
ing laughter sounds to the man on the
sands like the steady fall of silver dol
lars upon golden bell. Now they
swim seawards until almost lost ght of
now they are SO close on the shore
that it can be plainly made out that
every one of them i, far better looking
than the Circassian beauty OF travelling
show.
While the life of mermaid is full of
pearls and corals and diamonds and
grottoes and parties, We would not
advise any young lady to make the
change without proper reflection. In
the first place, a young lady who is
used to dry land would feel awfully
damp for several weeks after becoming
q mermaid. Then she woult. have to
change her diet, CO tune, style of piano
playing and singing, and she would
probably miss the young man who calls
every Sunday evening. SO far as can
be learned from Paul Du Chaillu. Eli
Perkins and New Bedford whaling cap
tains, mermaids never marry, Once iii
a while an old widower of sea horse
comes spooning around after second
wife, but he gets lis walking papers
with promptness and dispatch.
It seems horrible to think of a beau
tiful girl living single forever-for mer-
maids do not debut natures ways
are ways of wisdom and everything is
for the best. Tt was probably the
intention to furnish them husbands
from the sailors who fell overheard,
but it seems that such sailors drown
before the date of the wedding is tiyel,
and the mermaid is therefore doomed
to warm her col Get on fat-iron and
