The Art of Getting Vigorous

Is comprised in one very simple piece of
advice, improve digestion. No elaborate
system Of die tectice is needed If you
lack vig"r, use Systematically that peas
ant promoter of it, HoStcttcr's Stomach
Bltters. Il you take this hint, and do
MT commit any expresses, there is no rea-
son why you should not gain in Strenth,
appetite and weight. Hosts of whilom
invalds are to-day building foundation
for years of vigorous health with this
sOnnd and thorough renovator of dilap-
idatrd physique and failing energy. Dys-
pepsia is er"di ated by it, and the cohsti-
tuition fortified against disorders to
which, if it were exposed, it must surely
succumh - notably malarial fever.
rheumatism, inactivity of the kidneys
aud bladder, nervousness, and their
various symptoms, disappear when it is
used with persiStency, not abandoned
after bret and irregular trial.

The Cholera at Narseilles,

London Cable: The condition OF affairs
in Marseiles is every day revealed as even
worse than what was already known, and
the continued neglect by the authorities
OF the needs OF the city is being
thrown more and more into relief as course
Of conduct criminal in its effect on the in
habitants. 1t is now proved that cholera
has existed in Marselles in an unmistaka-
bic and well defined development of the dis
ease since June, while the authorities have
persistently denied it's presence, and ehave
done nothing to retard its progress It's
first appearance and the rapidity OF it's
spread are due entirely to the filthy con-
dltlon OF the lower quarters OF the town.
The state OF things there almost passes be-
Lief, and this hot-bcd OF contagion has
been permitted to grow with the warm
weather and breed cholera, While the other
residents Of the city have been kept as long
aspossiblein ignorance OF the terrible plague
at their doors. In these crowded and dirty
Localities the people have been hudtlled to-
getter like pigs, and garbage and refuse OF
all kinds are thrown into the streets. In the
total absence OF drainage there is no other
way to dispose OF refuse, and the result is a
horrible and sickening accumulation OF filth.

The Grasshoppers Centn<.

Washington Special. 1.-The signal service
observers in the Northwest have been send
ing Geographic reports for month past
in regard to the visitation OF grasshoppers.
Many OF the observations give NO cause for
serious alarm, but in few localities the
pest has made its appearance in full
force. The agent sent into the field
some two weeks ago confirms the worst
statements thathave been made. Not only
are there large numbers OF this destructive
Rocky mountain species at work, but the
common natives and non-migratory spe-
,ies are also more numerous than usual. At
Fort Buford and Poplar Creek agency the
locusts are very abundant and are damag-
ing the crops. On July 49, during the mid
die OF the day. a large proportion OF the
Rocky mountain species left toward the
east and southeast. The outlook for. a
general sweep Of the grasshopper plague
eastward another year is at this time pref
ty clearly indicated.

robbed Messrs Cakes and Merriam at st.
Paul, wasarrested at Detroit. Hel,ad been
making his headquarters at Hamilton,
Ont, but had q mistress at Detroit whom
he frequently visited. She has been under
surveillance for some time, but Burns des-
perate character made an attempt at
arrest on previous visits unwise. The
arrest was very neatly planned and exc
cuted. Burns made, a great struggle to es-
cape, but was overpowered. Burns is one
Of the coolest and most desperate burglars
in the country. He is twenty-cight years
old. five feet eleven inches tall, and OF De-
troit production. He served part OF a ten
years term in Jackson and Ionia state
prisons. but escaped from the latter. He
was captured at Louisville, KY, and fin
shed his term at Ionia last year. It is not
certain that Burns can be convicted, as the
only evidence will be such as the victims Of
the "gentlemanly burglar" can furnish in
The way OF Identification. Burns native
heath is Detroit, hisfeld OF operations being
over an area in which are included St. Louis
Toledo Detroit and ST. Paul. He is anot
ed burglar, his work bring OF the ''nerviest'

asa professional OF perfect type. All through

Burns work have been plain, and he has
been closely watched. 1.-THE charges agains
him in Detroit are not proved or pushed

now, are not reconcilable to each other
