Dear Sir,--I write TO inform you that

"Seigels Syrup" For some years have
suffered from liver complaint, with its
many and varied concomitant evils, so
that my life was perpetual misery.
Twelve months ago | was induced to try
Scigcrs Syrup, and although rather
sccptical, having tried SO many reputcd
inGallible remedies, determined to give
it ut least II fair trial. In two or three
days felt considerably better, and now
at the end of twelve months (having
continued taking iD am glad to say
that am different being altogether.
IT is said of certain pens that they "come
us Il boon and Il blessing to men" and /
have no reason to doubt the truthfulness
of the statement. | can truly say, how
ever that Seigel's Syrup has come as a
"boon and II blessing" to me. have re-
commended it to several fcllow-sufferers
from this distressing complaint, and
their testimony is quite in accordance
with my own. Gratitude for the benefit
| have derived from the excellent pre-.
paraton, prompts me to furnish you
with this unsolicited testimonial.

Yours ever gratefully,

Breeds of SiIk-Worms.

There are three kinds of silk-worms
Animals, bivoltines, and trivoltines.
The ANIMALS produce but one brood
year, bivoltnes two broods, and Tri-
yoltines three. After considerable ex-
perience we are satisfied, that the last
two breeds cannot be raised as pro6tably
as the pure ANIMALS.

III Is q terrible severe course that one
has to 90 through in preparing to
dance on the stage. True enough, the
dancer who means to exercise her art
rs Taglioni did, must show nothing of
| the gymnast in her performance; but
gymnastics of the severest kind are tho
most necessary part OF the training.
| When done with the grace of Taglioni
it does not seem so hard to turn the
feet outward until they form a
straight line" to balance oneself on
the points of the toes, or to pirouette
gracefully on ono leg; but the toll of
these exercises is known only to those
who have practced them under the
eagle eye of the ballet-master; and
they are, after all, only the A b C of
the art. The French author of n re-
markable work on the subject mentions
score or more of technical studies,
such rs les tdqaeteS, les rouetteS, les BAL
anceS, les cntrechatS, les deUeloppes les
grands toUetteS, which, as Mr. Cook
says, are scarcely Ineligible outside
the walls of the classroom. One has
but to glance at the limbs of prina0
6allertRa, say on the stage of the
Ahambra, to form notion of the OK
traordinary severity of the training she
has undergone, the displacement Of
the calf, the fattening of the leg in
front, the disproportion in size between
the arms and legs; showing, what
might have been expected, that the
lower muscles can not be abnormally
developed without injury to the upper.
1t says something for the skill with
which Taglioni was trained, and much
also, no doubt, for the natural vigor
and elasticity of her form, that by the
time she was ready for her debut, her
figure was not only quite unspoiled,
but had developed to an almost ideal
perfection of suppleness and grace.
Many ballet dancer has good leg,
but Il beautiful arm is rare possessions;
yet one of her English critics, when
she first appeared in London. said with
emphasis, in his comments on her
personal charms, that mile. Taglioni
has singularlv fine arm"

forty yards. | came once very nearly

A fine portrait of Count Won Moltke
is the frontispiece of the March Centu-

entertaining account of Won Moltke's
life. His daily routine is described IS
follows: "Winter and summer, Moltke
enters his study at the stroke OF 7 A. NJ.
Here he drinks his morning coffee,
smokes a cigar, and writes until the
stroke of nine, when his business letters
are brought TO him which he reads and
dispatches. He then exchanges his
dressing gown for his uniform, and is
ready at IL to receive his adiutants, to
hear their reports. and issue orders.
While at work he partakes of q simple
lunch, and when his adjutants are gone
resumes his writing until the stroke of
two, when his work is pushed aside.
.s'He then receives the higher officers
of the staff and listens to their reports.
This ended, which may be longer or
shorter according. TO circumstan ces,
Moltke goes for a walk. It is no infre-
quent thing to encounter him in the
busy streets of Berlin, peeping into the
shop windows which appear to have an
attraction for him. At four be takes a
frugal dinner in company with his
family, the hour of dinner is for them
the happiest of the day. Then the tact
turn man becomes loquacious, and de-
lights his hearers with his charming and
delightful talk. From five to seven he
again devotes himself to writing, from
seven to eight the newspapers are pc
rused. At eight he once more rejoins his
family at atea-table after which follows

egist is naturally a proficient. The
game over, the evening is generally end
