Tennyson says in his latest poem o
spring:
"The blsckbirds have their wills,

The blackbirds have oftea got the best
of it, too, for they seldom have dyspepsia,
or debility, while many poets have both
these diseases, as can be easily seen. Poets
and others afflicted with dyspepsia or rheu-
matism, can obtain speedy and complete
relief by using Browns Iron Bitters. Mr..

A JOURNEY TO THE SUN.-As to the
distance of ninety-three million miles, a
cannon ball would travel it in about fifteen
years. 1t may help us to remember that
at the speed attained by the limited express
on our railroads train which had left the
sun for the earth when the Mayflower
sailed from Delfhaven with the Pilgrim
Fathers, and which ran at that rate day
and night, would in 1884 still be journey
of some years away from its terrestrial sta
ton. The fare, at the customary rates, 1t
may be remarked, would be rather over
two million five hundred thousand dollars,
so that it is clear we should need both
money and leisure for the journey. Per
haps the most striking illustration of the
suns distance is given by expressing 1t IN
terms of what the psychologists would call
velocity of nerve transmission. 1t has been
found that sensation is not absolutely IN
stantaneous, but that it occupies very
minute time in travelling along the nerves;
SO that if child puts its finger into the
candle, there is certain almost inconcelv-
ably small space of time, say the one-hun-
dredth of a second, before he feels the heat.
In case, then, child's arm were long
enough to touch the sun, it can be calcu-
lated from this known rate of transmission
that the infant would have to live to be
man of over a hundred before it knew that
its fingers were burned.-Prof y. y.

GCHROEDER'S IRON TONIC and
y BLOOD PURIFIER,

The only Iron medicine in which the virtue
of the iron is not destroyed by being oxydized
(rusted). Try this great Iron cure; 80 cts.
Read what physicians of large experience, and
graduates of the Maryland University, say of
it,
DIR. J. w. Steele, of Freedom, Carroll co.,
Md, has been in active practice % years,

scribed Schroeder's Iron Tonic and Blood
Purifier freelysin his practice, and found it
unsurpassed in anemia, general debility, in
digestion, want of appetite, lack of energy,
retention and non-retention of urine.
Female weakness of all kinds, impure
blood, malaria, chills and fevers, and, in fact,
all cases requiring an Iron Tonic, unhesita-
tingly recommend it as the best.
DR.. Wm. NJ Hines, of Freedom, Carroll
county, Nd, has been practicing medicine for
SO years, says; 81 have no hesitation in re-
commencing to the profession and intelligent
public Schroeder's Iron Tonic"

siderable quantity of your Iron Tonic and
Blood Purifier at my drug store, and it has
gained good reputation as a tonic, and Its
sales are increasing daily. have also used
it in my practice in nervous debility, weak

Church Gambling.

Judge Fisher, of Baltimore, Nd, in
recent charge to the Grand Inquest of that
city, used some very plain and practical
language in regard to the vice of gambling
as carried on under many covers and pre-
texts, and where those who carried it on
have the hardest language to use against
gambling. Judge Fisher not only alluded
to gambling dens and policy shops, but he
condemned the habit of gambling by taking
chances at church and society fairs with as
much severity as gambling by means of the
sweat cloth, the dice box or the deck of
cards. While these latter, grosser forms
of the gambling business, are liable to pre-
sentiment and prosecution, the first should
not be overlooked, no matter for what pur-
pose they are carried on Nothing looks
more inconsistent with the profession of
christianity than to see church elders and
deacons sitting in jury boxes to try gam
blers for pursuing their profession, when
they have themselves sanctioned species
of gambling just as morally disreputable as
that which they are about to condemn.
Indeed we are not sure that raffiing In
the interest of church or some charitable
cause is not more injuriousth than the real right
down ante-up. The first is insidious in its
nature, and calculated to lure unsuspecting
persons to the inner circles, where, stripped
of its moral guise, it appears in its most
odious forms Judge Fisher considered it
just as illegal to practice this innocent ap
pearing species Of gambling to recruit the
treasury Of church as the grosser forms
to the advantage of the pockets of an indi-
vidual. 1t is gratifying to know that the
people of Judge Fishers way of thinking
are growing numerous, and there are indi-
cations that the fortune-wheel and chance
box and book will be viewed with no
greater favor than the card-deck and dice

Victor Hugo's Idea of Immortality.

Victor Hugo, shortly before his death,
gave expression to his sense of Immortality
in the following words II feel in myself
the future life. | am like forest which
has been more than once cut down. The
new shoots are stronger and livelier than
ever | am rising, | know, toward the
sky. The sunshine is on my head The
earth gives me its generous sap, but heaven
lights me with the reflections of unknown
worlds You say the soul is nothing but
the resultant of bodily powers. Why,
then, is my soul the more luminous when
my bodily powers begin to fail? Winter
is on my head and eternal spring IS In my
heart. Then l breathe, at this hour, the
fragrance of the lilacs, the violets and the
roses as at twenty years The nearer l
approach the end the palmer l hear around
me the immortal symphonies of the worlds
which invite me- 1t is marvellous, yet
simple. 1t is fairy tale and it is history
For half century have been writing my
thoughts in prose, history, philosophy,
drama, romance, tradition, satire, ode, song;
| have tried all. But | feel that | have
not said the thousandth part of what is in
me. When 1 go down to the grave can
say, like so many others, i have finished
my days work, but | cannot say, have
finished my life. My days work will be-
gin again the next morning. The tomb is
not a blind alley it is a thoroughfare. 1t
closes in the twilight to open with the
dawn. | improve every hour because l
love this world as my fatherland. My
work is only beginning. My monument
is hardly above its foundation. | would
be glad to see it mounting and mounting
forever. The thirst for the infinite proves
infnity"

A Man as Strong as an Ok.

Louisville, KY, comes to the front again
with the strongest man in the country.
His name is John Bernhardt, but he re-
sembles the divine Sarah in name only,
though he is native of Alsace, in the
south of France. Bernhardt is a new
conner to Louisville, and is employed in
the foundry department of downtown fac
tory, where his feats of strength are daily
exhibited to the astonishment of his fellow
laborers. He is twenty-seven years old,
six feet four inches high and weighs 256
pounds and with no surplus flesh. He is
not fat, but is the finest specimen of mus
cular manhood seen here for long time
A reporter called in to see him and had
short interview with the brawny French
man. He is of magnificent build, straight
as an Indian. His chest is broad and deep,
and his chin and cheek bones indicate great
strength; but his arms are wonderful, and
around the biceps they measure seventeen
inches. His hands look like bacon hams.
His skin is smooth and red, though he
never drinks drop of Intoxicating liquor
of any kind whatever and was never drunk
in his life.
He gave the reporter few exhibitions
of his strength. Taking piece of iron
which was afterward found to weigh forty
three pounds, Bernhardt held it horizon
tally at arms length for several minutes.
He then raised huge piece of block iron
from the ground and placed it upon the
scales. 1t pulled 864 pounds. Taking
piece Of bar iron two inches wide and one
inch thick, and, placing it against his knees,
he bent it double easily. He took hold of
forty-two gallon barrel of water and bal
ancing himself against post, he went
through the motion of drinking out of the
bunghole. He took piece of seasoned oak
about the size of wagon spoke and broke
it with his hands He did various other
wonderful things which demonstrated the
possession of most extraordinary strength.
He processes to be able to fell an OK
with his bare fist and often killed hogs in
that manner while employed in Chicago
pork packing establishment.-His hands
are as hard as wood, and a stroke from one
of them would not differ from stroke of
mallet.-LouiSUille Post.

I wish, before returning to the tumult of
the court, to make a week retreat to the
Visitation
The Countess was not surprised at this
desire and she accompanied her fair young
sister to the convent of the Daughters of
Holy Mary.
A week after she returned with the
Count, to take her back to Lussault, but
the beautiful Diane appeared to them be-
hind the double grating, wearing the white
veil of postulants, and she told them that
she would leave the convent no more.
The following. year Diane took the habit
and became a holy religieuse. She died in
1744, aged eighty-fve years. after having
been seven times superioress of the Con
vent at Blois.

The Luster of Pearls.

Pearls deteriorate by age, contact with
acids gas and noxious vapors of all sores.
This is especially true of pierced pearls.
Various means for restoring them have
been tried, but experience shows them to
be useless. The best way to preserve pearls
is to wipe them with clean linen cloth at
ter being worn and deposit them, wrapped
in linen, in a closed box or casket. A
leading importer of pearls advises that pearl
necklaces. which are liable to deteriorate
by coming in contact with the skin, be re-
strung once year, as drawing the silk
thread out and in through the pierced
parts tends to cleanse the pearls. In Cey-
lon, we are assured on fairly good authori-
ty, that when it is desired to restore the
luster to Oriental pearls the pearls are allow
ed to be swallowed by chickens. The
fowls with this precious diet are then kill
ed and the pearls regained in white and
lustrous state.
