0neratiOnS in Pills.

Mr.. Ingram, the founder and proprie
tor ofthe illustrated London News, made
his first fortune by PARIS life pills, as
Holloway did by his. Mr.. Ingram used
to say that he always noticed on market
days at Nottingham that general pur-
chasers gave the preference to goods
which we're advertised with cuts: So he
put an imaginary picture Of old Parr on
the front Of his advertisement, with
good effect. Holloway followed his
example. He confined himself to
monev.m making, however, whereas Ing
ram was socially ambitious, eager for
Boston at bis death. He had a very
handsome country-seat adjoining his
paper mills, in Herts, where oasundtays n sundays
N. P.,s. He was in some respects very
democratic, dining in his shirt sleeves
every week day at one with his printers 5;a1s
was near the offices Of the Illustrated
News. ''

The Aesophagus.

The gullet (aesophagus) is not mere
tube, down which food and drink fall
of their own weight. Its sides, when at
rest, are in full contact with each other.
It consists mainly of muscular fibres, rich
" furnished with nerves, especially Of the
''rehex" order-the kind that are indie"
pendent of the will. The simple contact
with food or fluids excites them to action.
Hence, one who is unconscious can
be made to swallow by merely plac-
ing the substance at its entrance.
Most of our swallowing is of this charac.
ter. Each successive muscular fibre is
called into action as food reaches it,
those before di ating, and those behind
contracting. In the case Of the horse in
drinking, the water is thus actually
carried upward against gravitation.
The, whole digestive tract from the
mouth downwards, through the entire
length of the intestines, is lined with a
membrane, whose Office It is to secrete
lubricating fluid (mucus). This keeps
the sides of the gullet moist and soft,
The highly nervous character of the
gullet renders it extremely sensitive,
ESPECIALLY to stimulants, independent OF
the will. Sometimes i. hard substance,
accidentally swallowed, gets lodged in it.
The muscles at once close so tightly
around it in state of spasm that it is
not easily dislodged even by the physic'
ian.
A child drinks ammonia, or other COR
rosive fluid used in the kitchen, and the
infamed gullet becomes closed up so
tightly and constantly by the spasmodic
action of the muscles, as to deceive one
~. l.. I.
together. Nothing could be worse for it
than a surgical operation.
The difficulty can be overcome by
careful and long-continued dilation, be-
ginning with dilators of the smallest
possible diameter and gradually incl eas-
ing their size. Mothers cannot be too
careful to put ammonia and all corrosive
mixtures beyond their children's reach.

Two Husbands.

In Montgomery, Ala, in 1850, the
marriage Of young X-to the charm
ing Miss WAS the event of the sea-
son in the circles where the happy coup
lie were best known. Everything for a
time went on delightfully."-, but it was not
many months before the sulphurious
cloud of war enveloped the land, and
The patriotic husband, with thousands of
others, bade his wife fearful farewell
and rushed to the fight to fight for the
Confederacy. AS the crimson years of
that sanguinary period rolled on they
brought mournful tidings to the devoted
wife at home. Among the braves who
bit dust in a hard-fought
battle poor x-was reported
among the deaths and the
mangled body was thrown into name
less grave. In the course of time the
griefstricken widow recovered some
thing of the naturally buoyant and Joy
Gus spirits. She met Mr.. T., and a
ripening into love. Mr.. knew her
dead husband, and after happy court
ship married her III a lonely Georgia
town where she then resided. Mr.. and
Mrs. Z-lived happy together, as ev-
erybody had predicted, and in due sea-
son three blooming children were sent
to gladden. their hearts. Unhappily the
story does not end here. Sometime ago
Mr.. Z-was astonishcd to learn that X
-, the first husband, was not killed in
the war, as reported and generally be-
loved. Worse, still, the man was then
living, and in every respect as unlike
corpse as living man could be. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Z--were thunderstruck,
dazed, and utterly overwhelmed by this
discovery.
After the first paroxysm of despair
and desperation, L, who is a man of
prompt decision, abandoned the long,
time partner of his JOYS and sorrows. the
mother of his children, and declared his
deter rmination of living apart from her:
Seeking legal advice, L. conclud ed
that the next step in order was to have
the legal status OF the parties to the un-
courts. With this object in view the be-
wildered and grieved husband has in.
structed his attorneys to file bill in
equity in Fulton Supreme Court In
this bill the complainant, after clearly
stating the essential facts detailed above,
prays that the states writ of subpoena
be directed to his alleged wife command
ing her to appear before the court, and
that, in order to have his relation to the
defendant and society determined, and
the legal Status Of his three children
fixed, said marriage be annulled.
The children OF this peculiarly sad
marriage are now living, and are aged
respectively II, Is and Is years. Where
the first husband is, and what he thinks
Of the tangle, the reporter could no.
learn, but the case as it stands IS suffi-
cient.y pathetic to touch every heart
