Philadelphia, is well known to the ladies Of
that city from the great good she has done by
means of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. She writes Mrs. Pinkham of a
recent interesting case. "a young married
lady came to me suffering with q severe case
Of Prolapsus and liberation. She commenced
taking the Compound and in W months was
fully restored. In proof of this she soon
found herself in an interesting condition. In

ten or twelve days she came to me again and
she was indeed in a most alarming state and

The adaptation of the innumerable
tints to every grade of change in the
color of the sea weed is really marvel
Gus. The younger, lighter green
crustaceans are always to be found On
the young, verdant fronds of the plant,
while the older parts of the weed are
inhabited by older, brown animals.
The older stems are often incrusted
with the white shells of bryozoa, and
corresponding with these we are sure
to find v hite spots on the brown ar
NOR OF the crabs. The legs of the ami
mails are frequently of an olive green
ground with brownish spots, decep-
lively like the slender sea-weedleaves
that are just beginning to turn brown.
If one will, as | did, pull one of the
large plants upon the deck, leave 1t in
"a cask of sea-water for an hour or two.

the animals, although he may be sure
there are q quarter of a hundred Of
them there; and, II he gives the mass

assemblage of the most varied sorts
tumbling off the bush, whose behavior
will go far TO verify Wagner's view;
for, il they are allowed the opportuai-
y, they will all swim back tothe sea-
weed, and each win seek a part OF the
plant most like it in color. I tried the
experiment forty or fifty times, and
never saw a little green crab settle on
a dark brown stem. The c~rustaceans
keep to their color, and the brown ones
will, with amazing speed, dart through
the thick network of stems and
leaves, I'd the darkest spot they can
find, where they quickly escape obser-
