Drink LemOnade.-M Most people know
the benefit of lemonade before breakfast, but
few know that it is more than doubled by
taking another at night also The way to
get the better of the bilious system. without
blue pills or quinine, is to take one, two or
three lemons, rs the appetite Graves " as
much ice water us makes it pleasant to drink
without sugar, before going to bed in the
morning, on rising, at least half hour be-
tore breakfast, take tue juice of one lemon in
a goblet Of water This will clear the system
of humor bile with efficiency without any of
the weakening effects of calomel or Congress
water. People should not irritate the stomach
by eating lemons clear.

Cardinal Newman at Home.

His eminence Cardinal Newman receives
very few visitors at the oratory now. He is
81 years old, and is growing quite feeble. A
few privileged friends such the Duke Of
Norfolk, Lord Emily, and some of the '!old
boys" from Oxford call when they please.
The cardinal rises every morning at 5, and
after concluding his deyotions returns to his
room, sweeps out the uncarpeted floor, makes
his own bed and then goes to breakfast, which
he begins with a plate Of porridge and jug
OF hot milk Of which he is very fond He
shayes himself every morning, and, like Lord
Aacauloy. always manages to cut himself.
The only distinction no has over the other
fathers is that while they have but ono room
he has two-a bedroom and library. He has
had for many years faithful Irish servant
named James Cusack of the Handy Andy
school, in whose wit and blunders he takes
great delight. His eminence Is at present at

that the changes in the piece would not be de-

Two or three years ago Phil Armour saw a

He became interested in the boy, and offered
him $25 if he'd read six lines before the train
reached his destination. The porter, by hard
work, earned the money, and now he is a
student in Oberlin college, sent there by the
generous Chicago packer. He is very black

poNps subject TO CALL.
Likely to no Reduced Below sIOO, ,oOO,-
900 Before Congress Meets.

WV heiore ConRress meotss
The amount Of per cent. bonds subject
TO call on Aug. 1 was $140,011, $50 One
call for $4,000,000 has matured since that
date, thus reducing the aggregate Of these
bonds to Sl30, 100000. Since July s, ,000,-
600 OF the 3 per cent. bonds have been re-
Deemed Three calls are still outstanding.
One for 81, 100000 will mature Sept. i; that
for S10,000000 will mature Sept. 10, and
that for S15,0O0,OOO on Oct. 1. The amount
called for redemption thus far In the present
fiscal year is $37, 900 900, and there are likely
to be one or two additional calls before that
last issued natures, so that before Congress
reassembles the 3 per cent bonds subject 10
call may be reduced below S100,000,000.
OF the $136,00O,000 of these bonds now
outstanding the national banks have IN de-
posit with the United States treasurer
about $102, 900, 900 10 secure their circulating
notes and about 5000 900 to secure deposits
Of public money, making $l10, 900, 900 In all
still held by the national banks. OF the
$50, 100000 included In the three calls that
will mature between now and Oct. 1, the
banks own over S22, 100000. These will
have TO be withdrawn and higher rate bonds
substituted, otherwise the banks will be re-
quired TO surrender about $4,000, 900 OF
their circulation. These Withdrawals of
bonds will not affect the New York city
banks so largely as those outside of that
metropolis, as the New York banks some
time ago found IL profitable TO reduce their
circulation. In the last call for $l5, ,000, 900
the largest amount held by any one New
York bank Is $500, 900, while one bank In
Baltimore holds overs ,000, 900 OF the num-
bers included In the cali.
Whether there will be additional calls for
large amounts will depend upon the re-
ceipts. A call for ten millions In addition
to those already made would meet the re-
quirements Of the sinking fund for the cur
rent fiscal year. II is likely, however, in
view Of the increased receipts, that the re-
demptlon Of bonds will not cease when the
sinking fund law is compiled with. The
quarter ending with Sept. 80 Is usually the
heaviest for the year In receipts, the excess
varying from two to fifteen millions over
the other three quarters and averaging per-
haps ten millions. Thus far the customs
receipts give indication that they will reach
about ffty-eight millions during the quar-
ter, and those from internal revenue and
miscellaneous sources will swell the aggre-
gate to over ninety millions, which Will be
four or five millions In excess OF the esti-
mate made by Secretary Manning In his last
lannual report. In view, therefore, OF the
4 increased receipts and the recent utterances
OF Assistant Secretary Fairchild on the sub
ject, 1t Is reasonably certain that the calls
for bonds will be continued beyond the
forty-seven millions required for the sink
ing fund, and that the treasury will begin
the redemption OF the last one hundred
millions Of the . per cents. before the re-
assembling Of Congress.

Recession of Niagara Fails.

The American Association for the Ad.

yesterday at Buffalo. The largest attend
ance in any section was In that devoted to
geology and geography. Much interest
was manifested In paper Of Prof. X, 8.
Woodward, Of this city, on 'The Rate of
Recession Of Niagara Falls.n The professor
has lately made survey OF the falls, and
deduced figures therefrom which he ex-
planned at length. He said that the area
Of the rock worn away at the Horseshoe
Falls between the years 1s42 and 1875 was
1855 square feet. The time required to
recede one mile Is 1890 years.

A Healthy BODY nnd a Olonr Hand.

If indigestion, constipation, and biiousness
torment the body, the head cannot be clear.
These disorders react upon the brain, most
hurtfully, and produce cloudlness in the or
gan of thought not experienced by a healthy
man, Happily these brain-oppressing mala-
dies may be entirely dispelled by that peerless
Alternative, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
cheers, refreshes, and inyigorates the brain
Digestion assimilation, and bilious secretion.
1t expcls the morbid humors which poison the
system through the bowels and urinary pas
sages, and eXerts a powerful inyigoratng In
iiuence as well. Its oathartio action Is never
Irritating, violent, or painful, but even natural
and progressive. As an appetizer and sleep
promoter the Bltters are unrivaled; II mitl-
gates the inhrmities of age, relieves the all
menls peculiar TO the gentler sex, arrests pre-
mature decay, and builds up an enfeebled

THE MARKETS.
Effect of tho Railroad Rupture and of
Political Disturbances in Europe.

Political Disturbances in Europe.
New YORK, Aug. 23.-The majority of
operators were absent from the board to-
day, which caused dull and featureless
market. The general aspect OF affairs was
not so favorable as in the latter part of last
week. The political disturbance of Europe
caused some selling by foreign houses here,
and in response to the higher rates for
money prevailing In London there was an
advance I'm sterling exchange rates which
brings them slightly above the gold import
ing point. The action Of the Pennsylvania
railroad In refusing to vote on the propo-
sition to give the Baltimore and Ohio a per-
centage had bad effect, which was aided
by rumors that tickets were being sold over
the Baltimore and Ohio at cut rates.
There was very little feature throughout
the day, fluctuations being confined within
a narrow range and business exceedingly
dull. The street was flooded with rumors
with regard TO the Nickle Plate, but the
stock was very quiet. There were advances
in few of the inactive stocks, such as
Manhattan, Louisville, New Albany and
Chicago, and the San Francisco shares.
First prices this morning were down from
to ., the latter decline being recorded by
Lake Shore, Kansas and Texas, Western
Union, and Union Pacific. Prices declined
from the opening, but for only small frac-
tions. There was O somewhat better feel
ing in the afternoon, but without special
movement until the last hour when prices
were bid up by the room traders, the mar
ket closing steady at quotations.
Money on call is easy, ranging from
to O, last loan at 5, and closing at 4 asked.
Sterling exchange Is strong, but unsettled.
Actual business at 4.S1l TO 4.S2 for 60 day
bills, and 4.s4 to Ash for demand Posted
rates 4.s3 to 4.s5. Government bonds
have been dull and steady. State bonds
have been neglected.

ing the date Of the definite location OF the

road from Waldo TO Tampa Bay, In Florida,
