The Ague-Shaken Sufferers

The Ague-Shaken Sufferers
Who resort to Hostetter's Stomach
Htters, experience speedier and
more complete relief than they can
hope to do by the use of eninine.
This we'll authenticated fact is of
itself sufficient to have established
a high reputation for the Bitters.
But the article is not a specific
merely for the varions forms of ma
larial disease, it endows the system
with a degrea of vigor, and reforms
its irregularities with a certainty
that constitutes it's best defence
against disorders of the stomach,
liver and bowels, specially rife
where the atmosphere and water
are miasma tainted. Fever and
ague, bilious remittent, dumb ague
and ague cake are remedied and
prevented by it, and it also re-
| moves dyspepsia, constipation,
rheumatism, &c. Take this medi-
cine On the first indication that the
system is out of order. and rest as.
sured that you will be grateful for
the hint.
| "A WASHINGTON letter to the
Buffalo Courier says: "The cable
to-day tells US another pretty 70.
nance about Mrs. Maokay's lavish
Expenditure in Europe.-a dinner
from which the guests were served
from solid gold plates, and all that
sort ofthing. Lam told by a chum
of Mackay that these stories are
chiefly fabulous, as are the reports
about Honest Johns enormous
wealth. Mackay was never so rich
as the New York mi1lionaires. He
was never worth more than 3d.
100000 to 100000. Mich of
this sum does not bring a dollar of
income. He gives away a great
deal Of money invests in great en-
terprises, like MI. Benefits cable,
that yield 30 return, and some Of
which absorb the principal invested
in them. Mrs. Mackay does not
spend half a million year in en-
tertainments, as current newspaper
paragraphs have it, but only $780,
900. That is very pretty sum,
but it pays for all her household
expenses, balls, dinners and all"
| RAMIE CULTURE.-This subject
is again attracting much attention.
Our contemporary, the Iberville
South, tells what fine stalks have
been produced by Messrs. Thomas
Courier and Thos. Russell, from
the small crops we mentioned last
summer, and Mr.. L. U. Fasnacht,
of St. Bernard, has brought to our
Office beautiful sample to our Of
flee beautiful sample grown by
him. The latter gentleman, as
we'll as the pioneer in the industry
in Louisiana, DR.. Fred J. Knapp,
has expressed willingness to fur
nish the roots to plant half acre
or acre at our Experimental Sugar
Station; but, after all, the question
reverts to the important point

These were never more immense
in size than they are at present.
Often fashion that has been in q
good while, just before it collapses
and goes ont finally, swells up
enormously and assumes most out-e
shape. After this spasm it will
shut down altogether and silently
steal away. Especially this seems
to be true OF fashions designed to
initiate woran's skirts. What bal
loon like, gigantic size crinolins
skirts took on, at the last, you re-
member. "A shirt five yards and a
quarter nround was no novelty

is to be devontly hoped the MAN.
moth tonrnure is likewise now in
it's last stages Best made dresses
no longer have separate hustle.
Steel hoops and a hair cloth cush-
ion are sewn into the skirt lining,
forming skif framework, over
which the cloth is draped. TIE
structure when done is strong
enough and broad enough to carry
q basket Of fruit on. 1t is a def,r-
nifty. Its weight is something
dreadful. The tailor-made cos
tunes are very stylish, but they are
as heavy as a mans winter over
coat. They are a burden grievous
to be borne. The skirts should
never be worn without q support
over the shoulder. Shapsare good
for this purpose; but even then the
back is go heavy that it says and
drags down behinn, unless the
straps are pinned fast to the corset
in front. A strong safety pin may
be used. The straps should come
quite together in front at the waist
band. Then they will not spread
apart and bind across the bust.
The huge tournures make cloth
skirts unbearably heavy, and they
are not pretty, heaven knows. A
change to the skirt that is plain
and fiat behind, following the ar
tistic outline Of the form, will be
very welcome. 1t cannot be long
before the rebellion against the bus
tie sets in.

In Queensland there are FIVE
deadly kinds of snakes, one eight
or nine feet long; but 'tby far the
worst is the death adder. It has
this popularity: it does not at
tempt to move out of anybody's
way, but lies quite still until it is
touched, when it fastens with a
spring upon it's victim. I have
never known we'll authenticated
instance of recovery from it, except
in the case Of one Underwood, who
nsed to let any snake bite him, and
by means of an antidote never suf-
fered harm. The Victorian gov
eminent foolishly refused to give
him 10000 pounds sterling for his
secret, and as he one day let a
snake bite him when he was drunk
and had forgotten where he had
put bis antidote, this all valuable
secret died with him.-[Mr. Finch

The latest argument for the
military drill in schools is that it
teaches the boys to tread evenly in
stead of on the sides of their foot
soles, and so saves the wear and
tear Of shoe-leather to the extent of
an average Of one pair of boots ev-
cry year.
