May %, 1883: ~ have used Hunts Remedy
in my family for over ten years. My wife
was troubled with Catarrh of the bladder,
suffered intense Pain in the kidneys and loins,
and urination was accompli, he'd with the
greatest of agony. My friends thought that
she could not recover. We tried doctors and
medicines, and although better at times she
would grow worse again. She was obliged
to use the ur,nal as many as fifteen times in
a night, and was growing worse daily At
this time my attention was called to Hunts
Remedy, and l concluded to try it; and after
using one bottle she was a good deal better,
the Inflammation was reduced, and the water
more natural. She began TO gain in ape
tite and felt no pain in the back and kidneys.
She could attend to her household work with
out pain, and this hal Eeen a great burden
TO do, even the lightest kind Of work. After
using six bottles she was completely cured.
Since then / have had occasion to use Hunts
Remedy for kidney and liver complaint, and
found 1t to be just as represented, and l con-
rider it a most wonderful medicine Iwould
not be without Hunts Remedy in my family,
and l have recommended it TO my friends
here in Orange with equally good results

FEEs OF DOCTORS,

The fee of doctors is an item that verJ
many persons are interested in. We believe
the schedule for visits is $780, which would
tax man confined to his bed for a year, anc
in need Of a daily visit, over $1,000 yeal
for medical attendance alone! And ON,
single bottle OF Hop Bitters taken in time
would save the $1,000 and all the year,

A Big Hotel In London.

London will soon rival New York IN
the number and magnifcence of its ho-
Fels. Yesterday another sumptuous
caravanserai, not inferior in size and
luxuriousness to the largest of the
American establishments, was opened.
Where all the guests are to come from
who are expected to fill the three hun
dred bedrooms of the First Avenue ho-
tel might puzzle one if it were not re-
membered that in this metropolis there
are slumbering every night fifty thous-
and sojourners who were not here
twenty-four hours hence. The popula-
ton of large town is daily poured in
to this city and has to find lodging for
itself somewhere. But the First Aven-
ue hotel does not expect to find its ac-
count in casual visitors alone. 1t is
supposed that many people, tired of
housekeeping, with all its attendant
troubles, will take up their abode per-
manently beneath the roofs of the vast
building in Holborn. The system, well
established in America, has already
gained hold in this country. But..if it
is to be successful, the ways of the
British hotelkeeper and some of his
pharges-especially in the manner of
batting and drinking-will have to be
altered good deal. American hosts
Ho not expect to pay the entire ex-
penses of their business out of the wine
which is consumed on the premises"

Matches.

At Jonkoping, Sweden, is the Oldest
and largest match factory in the world.
1t was established 100 years ago, and
there are now to be seen specimens of
the matches used at the beginning OF
the present century, consisting of big
fagots of wood furnished with handle
and tip to dip in a bath of sulphur.
The wood from which the present kind
of matches is made is taken from the
adjacent forests, which are divided
into fifty sections. Every year one sec
ton is cut and then replanted with
young trees. The trees are hewn into
planks in the forest and cut into slivers
in the factory. The boxes are made of
the outside of the trees. The factories
are on the banks of lakes which are
connected with one another by wide
canals.
Millions of matches are turned out
each day. Some idea of where they
all 60 to may be obtained from the
statement that there are at least 28O,-
600, 600 of matches burned each day in
the United States, or an average of five
matches for each person.

A Modern Martyr.

A recent writer in one of the relig-
ious journals tells the following story
OF Sister Simplice, nun of the Order
of Bon Secours:
Five years ago she had in charge the
little children of q gentleman of and
near Paris. She was walking with
them in their garden when a sound in
the shrubbery near by caused her to
start and turn pale. She knew that the
fierce dog which the owner of the chat
eau should have kept chained must
have freed himself. There was still
time enough; she could easily reach
place of safety. All, but the children!
she will not leave them. She gathered
them about her hurriedly and perhaps
gains few yards toward the house. 1t
is too late. The huge creature is in
sight, bounding toward them with red
eyes and foaming mouth-mad. What
did she do? There was but one thing
for Sister of Good Help to do. With
one grand sweep she thrusts the chill
dren behind her, and crying aloud for
aid, but never yielding an inch, faces
the brute without quiver He springs
upon her; her little white hands are
entwined in his long hair, while the
savage, cruel jaws open and close vic
iously. Perhaps the children cried;
perhaps you could hear nothing but the
fierce, mad snarl of the dog as he bit,
and the poor cries of the little Sister
now growing very weak; but she would
not let 60 her hold, for there were the
children. / wish you could hear the
story as we heard it, in tremulous
broken English, from her who herself
nursed Sister Simplice during the
month of agony through which she
lived. Just before her death she turn
ed to those by her bed and said:
81 am so glad-I-could do it.

Japanese Cemeteries.

| want to say a word about japanese
cemeteries, which are seen everywhere.
The receipt for a Japanese graveyard
is very simple. 1t only requires about
ten feet square of ground for "a very
good beginning. Then this space
needs to be crowded to repletion with
short, stubby stone monuments, rough
hewed, and often only few inches
apart. Indeed, in many places you
will encounter single graves in isolated
localities, by the wayside, or on the
premises of q family. There is one just
back of our apartment in the Nikko
yadoya, rooted over, as is frequently
the case, with a wooden canopy.
OF course this is only general, and
applies to the representative Japanese
cemeteries. Japan has her Green
woods, which are different from, rath-
er than inferior to our American bury
ing-grounds. The monuments are
moss-grown usually, but it is because
this is in accord with the proprieties as
the Japanese look at things. The fu-
nerals are usually at sunset, though I
saw one in Toxic at early dawn. The
deceased is buried-as he had lived-in
a squatting attitude, the casket being a
square tub of wood, unless his worldly
goods warrant an earthen jar. Nom
residents who die in community are
cremated, and their ashes are then re-
turned to their native ken.
Enter almost any cemetery and you
will find tapers, coins, trays of food,
shavings for starting fire, and other
articles, all showing the mundane char
acter of the ideas which the japanese
cherish with reference to the after-life.
The face of the dead is always turned
toward the north, a position which is
relgiously avoided by the Japanese
during life. Indeed, so anxious are
they not to sleep with their faces to-,
ward the north that they frequently
mark the points of the compass upon
the ceiling of the room, SO that sleep
er may avoid making any mistakes.
The Japanese observe great many
such little superstitions. They have
the most costly bronze monuments
erected here in this city, for no other
purpose than to keep the devil away.
If any change is noticed in the appear
ance of an article connected with their
temples or cemeteries, it is promptly
attributed to some ghost, and fertile
imaginations devise fictitious account,
which is promptly accepted and incor-
porated into the authoritative legends
belonging to this most elusive of all
heather faiths-the Shinto religion of
the Japanese. Cor. PhilddeEphid Press

Ants. Their Homes and Habits.

Master Charles r. Bolton, Is years
old, contributes an interesting article
on the above-named topic to the Con-
gregationaltst, from which we take the
following:
Some warm day when you do not
know what to do, find an ant-hill under
shady tree and watch the little
fellows at their work. This is what /
have being doing. The ring of earth
around the hole, like the wall of a fort,
is familiar, but the most interesting
part of their homes is under the
ground. See them drag the pebbles
out of the hole in the center. If you
could follow it down you would find
the way irregular, and at the end
number of galleries each supported by
little pillars of earth. The young ants
are kept on these shelves, and, in fact,
it is their city.
Here the chief men meet to talk over
the matters of the colony. But how
can they talk? Put an ant under the
microscope and you will see two little
projections on the head, called man.
dibles. The ant touches its mandibles
to those of its neighbor and thus they
speak. Ants are very strong, persever-
ing and industrious, some working all
night, and / have seen an ant carry a
stone three or four times its size.
They are fond of sweet things. Once
l laid piece of sugar near hole. An
ant soon found it, and though the
piece was many times as large as it
self, it lifted the sugar above its head
and started for the hill-aH went well
until the hill was reached. 1t would
get hold of the sugar and attempt to
drag it up, but when the first pebble
was struck it would roll over and
over. At last, by leveling place so
as to get start, by the occasional help
OF passing ant, the sugar was pulled
over the hill.
l noticed a spider, one day, stop to
rest near an ant-hill. The ants soon
saw him and four or five came out.
They took hold of his legs and swarm
ed on his back. He was dragged into
the hole and the rest fiocked out to
help eat him up. The ants carry their
young out evry pleasant day to lie in
the sun, and at the first sight of rain
they hurry them into their house.
These little creatures have good mem
oiico anu never forget lnelr IrlendS. Ii
an ant be taken out of an ant-hill, kept
for two months and then put back into
the same hill it will be received; but if
it will be placed in another, it will be
killed.
In Texas there is found the 'tagricul-
tural'' ant. These clear a place for
weeds and grass for about two feet
around their house. They then drop
the seed of a kind of grass they like
very much. The ants take care of the
young blades, protecting them from
insects, and when the grain is ripe
carry it into their homes. But what
is more peculiar. if the store of food
should become damp during rain, it
will all be carried out on the first
sunny day and dried and then brought
back.

"Her" MOther-in-law.

1t is always his mother-in-law upon
whom sarcasm spends its random in
effectual shots. Her mother-in-law es-
capes. With manly egotism editors and
writers who are, invariably and heed
lessly masculine, remorselessly put
the stale SANDERS in cold type and as
sumo that their mothers are perfect
mothers-ir-law. care We not their
sons?" "Could SO perfect specimen
of manhood spring from any but per-
feet source?" Assuredly not. But
wives are proverbially known to be i'm
perfect; hence their mothers are more
so. Who ever knew wife that could
cook like 'may mother" or make a
shirt that set like ..mother's- ~ or darn
socks SO they wouldn't hurt the tender
feetP Mother used to do it; don't
see why you can't" The wife being
so faulty, what can her mother be?
1t is never disagreeable to him to
hear his mother say that '.Mary Jane
dresses too much" ''that Mary Jane
entertains too much;" 'that she is ex-
travagant in her housekeeping, care
less in the management of the child
rem" ''too demonstrative," or the re-
verse" Oh! no, it is his mother, and
she must know. But let her mother
but hint in the kindest manner that
George stays out too late" or that the
''club is too expensive for a young man
just starting in life with his own way
to make;" "that his cigar bill would
suffice to bring many a little luxury
into his home" and then will flow vows
(made to his wife with profane prefxes
unfit for ''ears politely that he won't
stand that old woman's tyranny any
longer" ''that he has put up with it
long enough (althougn it may be the
first hint that she does not think him
perfect)," :" "that if she keeps on in that
strain she will drive him straight to
the devil" etc.
But these are nothing beside the trials
of young wife taken to live with her
mother-in-law. Who ever saw moth
er with darling son that could find q
girl good enough or pretty enough for
the splendid creature who one day is
going to make Rome howl" with his
phenomenal cleverness and wonderful
abilitiesp Be she ever so pretty or ever
so sweet-she is not too sweet nor too
pretty to incur his mothers aversion.
The first battle ground tit looks like
tattle ground as written-ED.1 is
the house keeping of this double house
hold-and although all the drudgery of
the housekeeper may be relegated to
the young wife-be sure the reins of
government are still in the hands of
his mother. This gives her an oppor-
tunity to criticise and admonish that is
not to be gained by any other arrange
ment. Who has not seen in their own
circle of acquaintance some sweet young
girl, married and taken to live with
her mother-in-law? Did no one notice
how, little by little, the happy light
faded from her eyes, the youthful
elasticity from her step, until people
began to say: 'How Mary Jane is
fadingr' "She used to be SO prettyp'
Those delicate bright looking girls
fade SO soonr' Her mother has seen it
if no one else has, and perhaps this is
the beginning of the trouble between
him and his mother-in-law, of which he
writes so fervently.

strength even to use his feet.

There is no water! The hot sun and
parching winds have baked the sod
and sucked up the moisture until the
prairie pants and gasps for q shower.
Day by day the bubbling spring has
grown smaller aud the little rivulet
less, and this afternoon thirsty wolf
dug with his paws for half an hour and
went away with his red tongue lolling
from his wicked mouth.
1t is the end. The warrior realizes
it, but were he burning at the stake
with enemies dancing around and hop
ing to see him quail in terror, nope
should see that he feared death in its
most horrible form. He can die. He
can die like brave warrior. All day
long the hoarse croak of vultures has
been in his ears, and dozen times the
foul birds have dropped down to dis
pute his path.
Croak! Croak! The vultures are here!
One-two-four of the great birds with
talons like the claws Of bear and
beaks of iron alight on the tree over
his head. They scent the blood. They
hunger for the feast. They peer down
at him and utter sounds which seem
to be chuckles of satisfaction that death
is to break his iron will.
With an effort which shortens his life
by an hour the warrior pulls himself
up until he rests at the foot of tree.
He raises his unwounded arm and
shakes his clenched hand at his enc
mics.
"Croak. Croakr'
The parched throat and swollen
tongue refuse to utter sound, but the
warrior taunts and jeers and defies.
Let them listen to his death-song! Let
them note how warrior can die!
Croak! croak!
The darkness of night settles down
over the grove. 1t is too late for a
feast, and the great birds settle down
upon their perches and hide their
heads under their wings. For hours
pair of CLASSY eyes stare at them
through the darkness-never wining
never faltering, and as midnight
comes and the hand of death is pressed
upon the eye-lids there is one final eff
fort, one last struggle, and shrill cry
of defiance echoes through the dark
ness and startles the yultures from
sleep. 5@
