Valuable Product Which Is the Result
OF Disease Isl the Whale.
A valuable product of this whale is
the remarkable substance callea amber
or S j. e., gray amber. Until late
years ambergris could only be found
floating on the surface of the sea, the
coasts of Afr.ca, Brazil and the Bahia
mas be ng the usual localities for it.
The color of ambergr.s when broken is
ashen gray, mostly clouded with red
dish hue, and diversified with irregular
streaks OF yellow and black spots Oa
the exter or it is black and shining,
and looks as if it had here and there
been daubed with pitch. 1t is mostly
found in Jumps varying in weight from
half an ounce 10 hundred pounds, or
even more. AS it is worth about
gu nea per ounce, large p ece is of
very great value; so that party of
sailors who once found lump of
fifty pound we ght and knew the
value of their discovery. deserted
their ship and went home with
their prize. Ambergris has now been
robbed OF its MYSTERIES and is known to
be unprosa. cally formed by morbid
condition of the intestine, and there
fore each whale is carefully searched be-
fore the b dyis cut adrift after the blub-
Der and spermaceti have been removed.
Not one whale in fifty, however. pro-
duces single ounce Of ambergris. The
black spots VIII ch have been mentioned
are the hard beaks of octopods which
the whale has eaten, and which retain
their Shape after the soft flesh has been
digested. The geological reader may
remember that the beaks OF cutie,
have been found with n the bodies OF
cerian n fossil reptiles, thus showing
conciusively what was the nature OF
their food There are several speci-
mems in the College of Surgeons, one
being valuable b aet, as it is cylin-
drical, and retains lie shape of the in
testine in which it WAS formed. Am
bergrs is little used in Europe, but in
the East it is held IN high reputation,
partly as a perfume, and partly as a
valuable ingredient IN cookery. Long

Battle OF Flowers

Among the features of the carnival
at Nice this year was the Battle of
Flowers, which took place on Friday,
February 13, and was repeated ON the
following Monday. Precisely at 2
O'Clock on the day first named the gun
at the chateau gave the signal for begin
ming the hOstilities. and by 3 O'Clock
the battle had really begun. Vehicles
richly decorated with flowers, fruits,
ribbons, straw and other decorative ma
terial paraded the COTso and bouquets
fell thick as hail upon the crowds, which
extended in a thick mass from one end
of the course to the other. The people
ON foot responded with vig0r to the at
tacks of the riders, many of them hav-
ing provided themselves with large baS-
kets full of small bouquets, in the man.
ufacture of which a whole army of
florists had been engaged during the
whole of the preceding day and night.
There was a constant shower OF viOlets,
mimOsas, lilacs, pinks, anemones, roses,
and, in fact, every flower to be found
in bloom at the season in that portion
of France.
Some Of the vehicles were remarka-
bly, pretty, and among the most notice
able was a victoria entirely hidden with
scarlet pinks, even the wheels being
covered with these flowers. Another
vehicle was cart covered with verduIe
and vegetables and occupied by three
pretty peasant girls, who threw leeks,
carrots, eaulifioweTs and even large cab
bages as well as flowers among the peo-
pie There was, of course, a great Va
riety of costumes and the battle was a
scene of animation and beauty.

The Purchase OF Medicine

st is SURPRISING" says a pharma-
cist, Ito see how saving some people
are IN the purchase of medicines, the
purity of which is, of course, indispen-
sable to their efficacy. Some people
will take prescription from one shop
to another, pricing it as they go, and
finally get the prescription filed where
they can get it filed cheapest. They
ignore the fact that the best and
purest of drugs are really the cheapest
in the end for the person taking the
medicine. "
HAS this been a good season for
apOthecarieSI" was asked.
alt has been a fair season. The
prevalent diseases have been acute,
and in many cases have carried off the
patients before they have had time 10
take much medicine; but as compared
with other business that OF the drug
gIsts is not bad. DullnesS of general
trade does, however, affect the phar-
macist, for many people indulge in
medicines, as it were as luXuries.
When they are finally prosperous they
imagine they have ailments, even if
they have not got them, and they
pamper the imaginary aIlment with
nils and potioEs. When TREY are hard
up they have something else to lhink
of, and need all their money for neces-
saries. Yes. druggists and doctors are
just as interested as anybody in seeing
times good.

The Ex-Khedtvs.

Ismail, ex-Khedive, pervades Paris,

tuous, rotund person, with several
chins, educated in the refinement of
occidental dissipation. notwithstanding
his faith, a connOiseur of rare wines
and versed in the ultimate mysteries of
dinner. The calamIties of his land vex
him little, and he is doubtless very glad
to have traded off his troublesome vice

which, indeed, he is abundantly sup
piled, 80 that he may contemplate with
equanimIty whatever befalls the land
which his tough old grandfather ruled

with household fund OF nearly a mil
lion, together with pension of a couple
of hundred thousand for his father.
He was partly educated in Paris at
the POlytechnique. was attached to the
Turkish legations in that city and
Rome, and has nothing left to learn
concerning the refined designations of
either Capital. He dresses like D'Orsay
and wears as many jewels as the Shah;
has gorgeous eguipages and astOnisheS
the French capital with his display.
Although he clings ceremOnially to the
faith of Islam, he has really as little
belief as Bob Ingersoll or Roman
augur, and laughs impartia,ly at all the
religions and all the prophets Moham-
med included. He has four wives and
more obalisques than have been pre-
cisely enumerated; but with all these
endowments he will not go into history
with much eclat.

House Cleaning.

It's much better to clear one apartment
at time rather than to have the whole
house stirred up in confusion all at
once Then, in case of casualties or
unexpected company, there is chance
to be comfortable. There is nothing
more disagreeable than to have a house
all in commotion, carpets up and cur
tains down, and everything in disorder,
and there is no need Of it. 1t is bad
enough to have one room disarranged
at time, but that is far preferable to
having 1t stirred up from garnet to cellar,
and things brought into contact that
were never neighborS before. When
the mud is well dried up, and the warm
May air and bright sun warns the at
mosphere, you can finish your house,
cleanlsg with ease. Get your white
washing all done up, stoves cleaned, but
not set away-never do that There
are plenty of damp, cold days all
through the summer months when fires
are indispensable for comfort and
health, and il is very unpleasant to
have the whole family huddled around
the kitchen cook-stoye in order to get
warm. 1t is most preposterous fash
ion, this custom OF taking down the
stoves as soon as the warm weather
comes on, and common sense would die
tate the folly of such thing if one
would only stop to think how many
rainy, damp days come during all the
summer months. A Little fire would
change the atmosphere of room, and
prevent mildew gatherings on the walls,
and be conducive to health and COM
fort generally.
In house cleaning, never lay ont more
work than you can accomplish with ease
before dinner-it IS as long as person
ever ought 10 devote TO such hard
work, and 10y judiciously following this
rule you can get through with as much
work as if you had scrubbed whole day
and was sick the following days to pay
for 1t. Another thing, woman should
never do the whitewashing or nail down
carpets or repaper the walls; it is not
their work, and it is far cheaper for a
man to either hire it done OF to do it
himself than it is to pay doctors bills,
not to take in account the suffering and
pain that is almost sure to follow such
labor for a woman.

] he Man aliN c.

A remarkable incident in factional
fight involving about fifty of the lead
ing citizens of Pulaski county, Mo-,
occurred recently. Eight prominent
citizens living near Dixon were indict-
ed for lynching an alleged rObber named
Hildebrand at Hancock in 1872. The
indictments were the result Of an old
feud. the teSi ImOny showing that
Hildebrand was taken from his cell q,
hanged to tree, cut down and buried
hy the mob. The men were tr1ed at
Waynesvllle last week and acquitted.
Hardly had the verdict been announced
when a letter was received from New
York stating that the man who was
supposed to have been lynched was in
that city, alive and well. 1t WIS ad-
dressed to W. H. Murphy, attorney,
Dixon, Mo-, and read as follows:
sin looking over the papers of March
| pOticed an article referring to the
supposed murder by Judge Lynch in
Pulaski county in 1875 a nan named
McClarney called with me in reference
to the matter and said that he was the
Hildebrand referred to- He went from
st. Louis to Dixon, and from thence to
Hancock. He was arrested for a rob-
berry of which he was innocent, taken
out, hung up a number of times and
finally cut down. IL was suppo ed
that he was dead and his body thrown
in a ravine. He recovered and left the

A Prevailing Nxisdy.

Hundreds of women all over ths
country are sufferers from neuralgia tC
such an extent, in many cases, as to
find life burden. The following ex-
tract gives one solution as to the cause

of the most common OF female NAL.
adies-one of the most painful and
difficult of treatment. Ii is also a
cause of much mental depression, aud
leads more often to habits of intemper-
ance than any other. This growing
prevalence of neuralgia may to some
extent be referred to the effects Of cold
upon the terminal branches of the
nerves distributed TO the skin, and th-
reason why men are less subject 10 II
than women may, TO great extent, |
think, be explained by the much greater
protection afforded by the mode Ill
which the former cover their heads
when they are in the open air. 1t may
be observed that the surface of the
head which is actually covered IN man
is at least three times that which fash
ion alloys to a woman; indeed, the
points of contact between the hat OF
bonnet and the head in the latter are SO
irregular as practically to destroy any
protection which might otherwise he
afforded. If / were to report 10 the
journals case Of facial neuralgia cured
on the principle of protecting the lat
erial and frontal surface of the face a
well as the superior part of the scalp,
it might excite certain amount Ct
ridicule. can assure you, however,
that my patient considers that her case
ought to be reported; for she says that,
