The loveliest summer resort on earth
is probably the plateau of Newera Ella,
the kings Summit" as the natives call
it, in the highlands of southern Ceylon.
Like the seat of the Olympian gods, it is
above all earthly troubles. On "Ceylon's
lille" 1t would be a mistake to suppose
with the old hymn that man alone is
vile" In the lowlands there are not only
scorpions, lamia ticks, snakes,
and thirty or forty varieties Of mosquitoes,
but landleeches, fastening through the
grass with a ~cloth-measure movement-an
alternate contraction and extension of
their ANATOMY. They introduce themselves
in the lower garments of persons trespass-
ing on their native jungles, and extract
toll at the rate of an ounce OF blood
apiece.
But neither leech nor lamia ever visits
the heights Of the Kings Summit. An
elevation of nearly 5000 feet so fully in
sures the plateau against the peril OF
climatic diseases that the recovery Of low
land refugees generally dates from the
second day of their arrival. The climate
is that OF a perpetual May-light showers
nov and then, but generally cool morn
ings and sunny afternoons, even in
August, when the monsoon clouds brood
over the coast plain and vent their electric
wrath in thunder-claps resembling the
crash of a volcanic explosion.-Dr Felix
/. Oswald.

Who are constantly nervous are, in nine
teen cases nut Of twenty, dyspeptic. The
twentieth case will be found, upon inves-
tigation, to be that of a person who is
troubled with symptoms of Indigestion.
Thinness, unnatural anxiety, peevishness,
buzzing in the ears, a disposition to start
on the sudden closing of a door, tremul-
business of the hands-more particularly
of the r%ight-show that the nerves are
weak and unsteady. Hestetter's Stomach
Bltters strengthens and quiets the nerves.
This effect is a speedy consequence of its
invigorating and regulating action upon
the organs of digestion and assimilation.
1t enriches the blood. conquers a chronic
tendency to biliousness. relieves sick and
nervous headaches, and regulates the bow
els without gripping them. A more trust.
worthy defense against fever and ague
does not exist, and it subdues a tendency
to rheumatism. kidney and bladder de-
rangcment. Taken before retiring. it
induces sound repose.

A new method of lighting, called the
pneumatic system, has been described by
a Frenchman, NJ. Bender. He employees
the fatty residues obtained from the recti-
fication of crude mineral oils, through
which he passes a current ri air. The air
takes up a definit quantity of this hydro
carbon, and the lame produced is very
brilliant, giving off no smoke. C~heapness
and immunity from explosions are ad-
vantages claimed.-Arkansaw Traveller.

York is Mr.. N. T. Kane, OF Watervliet, q gentle
man well known and highly esteemed In the District
of Columbia. He passes many Of the winter months

period is thrown In with politicians ofthe best class.

sttOns one against the prisoner aud the Jury found
him guilty. "Ah!" said the prisoner, "very well;
but know the Judge will give me light sentence;
he will not 60 back on me-" In this he was, how

THE MEADE FiYILY.

In reference to the il',ess Of that beau .ful Old
lady, Margaret Ne, 'e Of our newspaper scrlb-
bers aude to her father as United States Minister to
Spain. 1t s strange that persons of ordinary tel
ligence should exhibit tich ignorance. Richard w.
Meade the father Of Miss Margare Meade was Phlla-
dephian OF Irish descent, who embarked In commerce
a an early age aud In the f-st years OF this Gen.
was prosperous merchant OF CadIz, In Spain.
When the Per'nbdlar War broke out Mr.. Meade
citizen OF neutral nation held commanding posi-
ton. The chief consiA Lments iiom this country OF
provisions from Bost IN, New York, philadelphia,
Baltimore, and minor ports were made 70 hin. This
enabled him to enlarge his busnels to an enormous
extent. For two years he fed the whole spar'sh
army, on credit, and when the war was over the
amount OF SPANS 'debtedness 70 Meade was very
large small portion OF this debt was llquldated
and Mr.. Meade returned TO America But when the
treaty with Spain under which we acquired Florida
was made and provision secured for the clau OF
American citizens against Spain Mr.. Meade or his
heirs were excluded by limita, on, for the United
States messenger sent to Mad ID managed TO be r'ne
months on his journey, and, course, was too late
70 be OF any ser, ce. That messenger, whoever he
was, was brlh | by the Spap'sh government. sixty
years ago the Meade claim came up regularly at
every session OF Congress. Edward Everett and
other eminent men addressed the House In
behalf OF the Meade claim, (from 1928
onwardD but In vain. The claim was
never paid. Mr.. Meade brough, home with him
large and magnificent collect m OF old Spanish
pictures by Muiillo, velasquez, Luca Giordano,
IuIbaran other masters OF The sixteenth century,
which were exhibited in the Boston Atheneum Gal
lery more than ffy years ago, aud are well remem-
bered by the older residents OF Washington. The
refusal OF the United States Government TO demand
from Spain Indemnity for Mr.. Meade's expendi-
turos In the support OF her armies compelled his
family TO sacrifice from time TO time these grand
works OF art for nominal sums, although valued at
over 100000. His son, Gen. heade, became Que
OF our historic figures In the late Ciyil War. The
eccentric Capt. Richard w. Meade, of the Navy was
another son. His daughter, Salyadora married nrst
Lieut. Mclaughlin, OF the Navy, and second, Mr..
Paterson, OF New Jersey, Of the same family w.th
The second wife OF stephen Van Rensselaer,, the Old
PATRON" Another daughter married Graham, of
the old Scotch family Identified In the ast century
win the commerce OF Dumiries, In Virginia. Gen.
Meade mar. led daughter Of that great man. John
Sargent, OF Philadelphia. Mrs. Paterson died few
weeks ago. In Cad,z ana Seville MI Meade lived
Ike prince and Kept open house 10 all dsllng
travellers aud merchsnts, entertaining, among
others, Lord Nelson, ColngwoOd, Hallowell, Sydney
Smith, and many oiner brilliant ornaments Of the
British Navy. For come years after 1862 Miss
Margaret Meade was a clerk In onlce. What con
