A lady writes to the New York Sun
this cure for snoring: "a remedy for
snoring, and I have had better half
who was greatly affected that way, is to
let the person SO afflicted before going
Ito bed drink cup of strong coffee with

will not secure more than forty winks.
d A Sabbath School teacher, says an ex-
change, had grown eloquent in picturing
to his little pupils the beauties OF
heaven, and he finally asked: "What
kind Of little boys go to heayen?"' "A
lively little four year old boy, with kick

The commonwealth of Massachusetts

In his recent lecture at Birmingham
Professor Max, Muller referred to the
Veda, the Brahms Bible "He said It
is older than any other book in the Ar
van tongue, and surely the knowledge
of what the world was like i, 500 years
before the beginning Of our era, and Of
what our own ancestors thought and be-
lieved nearly 1000 years ago, is worth

A learned Bostonian writes: cal
though the Indians did not know how
to swear when the white men came,
, they soon learned to swear, and had
sufficient words in their language for
the purpose. Eliot, in the Indian Bible
! uses the Indian word Osh (my Father)
for Creator, &C., and the early mission
aries, when addressing the Indian, used
Gosh, (your father.} The Indians soon
saw that that was the necessary word
for profanity and adopted it. Gosh is in
! use to some extent now, and perhaps
some pious people who say gosh are
not aware that it is downright swearing
in the Indian language"

al room in the Capitol, in Hartford, sew
eral of the strings in polished oak cases.
There are buttons of every possible
shape and design, and some Of the COL

buttons, are very handsome. Some of
the strings aremade up of the latest and
richest designs, or new patterns fresh
from the mandatory or store; others
are of ancient buttons, small and worn,
as though cut from cast-of clothing Of
past generations.
