Causes of Indigestion.

Indigestion is said to be one of the most
prevalent ailments. The person who takes
Il look about in any restaurant will not
wonder at it. Cast-iron stomachs only
could stand some of the things that people
deposit within themselves. l was i'm
PEELED to thoughts of indigestion by seeing
a man putting mustard on his pie. And,
as if this were not enough, / saw another
man put mustard on watermelon. After
that it would not have been at all surpris-
ing to have seen a person put Worcester
shire sauce on his ice-cream. Many per-
sons eat pie at breakfast, and once in a
while the person is found who begins his
meal with ice-cream and tops off with
soup, but he is crazy. The people who
throw down a good-sized dinner in twenty
minutes are countless. The ones who eat
in the middle of the day in New York have
only q few minutes to do it in. An ostrich
would become emaciated under the condi-
tons in which thousands of men live in
New York, and history records hat an os-
trich can tackle anything from an inkbottle
to a crowbar. Such digestible things as
beefsteak and roastbeef do not find much
of a market. The readv-to-servei dishes
are called for to the greatest extent. These
are meats and vegetables which have been
boiled and stewed until they would serve
better for door-hinges and building mate
rails than for food. Anything to fill up
appears TO be the motto. The coffee and
cake saloons which flourish all over the
city furnish mud" and 'sinkers'' coffee
and cakes) at night, and do as much to I'M
dermine constitutions as anything else.
Pies and sandwiches are sold from baskets
in the street. Messengers and newsboys
buy them, and when doubled up in the
throes of the collie. as a consequence, are
accused by their parents of having spent
their earnings in green apples. The whole
mastication line OF the metropolis is beset
with danger into which the eaters madly
plunge.-Brooklyn Union.

consuming sentiment in their hearts that
ever engrosses their thought for a moment
is the improbability that human nature
will ever again reach such marvellous per-
fiction as each exhibits to the other. In
time the wedding day comes and goes, and
with its going comes the stern reality OF
things. Gradually, as the faults insepara-
bic from human nature begin to creep out,
q rude change comes to their dreams, and
it may continue to work until there is only
about one thing upon which they agree,
and that is that both have made unmiti.
gated fools of themselves. Divorce Court
or no Divorce Court that agreement will be
reached, and he future anity of the family
will altogether depend upon whether ornot
they continue to be fools or turn about and
exercise good judgment.
Now we confess that we do not clearly
see how the difficulty is to be avoided as
long as human nature is what it is. What
is needed is TO impress men and women
with the solemn fact that there is a vast
deal about courtship and marriage besides
sentiment. Matrimony is one of the most
important business matters with which peo-
pie have anything to do. We can better
afford to make a mistake in almost any
other direction, and before an important
step is taken the heart ought to be kept
down and the mind awake until the most
sc%rutinizing investigation is made of char
acier, disposition, habits, etc., and it would
be we'll for each party to begin to investi-
gate himself or herself before giving much
attention to the other party. The worst
fraud ever practiced in this world is for a
man or woman who is utterly unfit to be
husband or wife to palm themselves off on
somebody with all their defects. 1t is a
clear swindle. There ought to be no diff
Guilty in people finding out what their own
fitness for matrimony is, for people do not
fall in love with themselves to an extent
that utterly blinds them to their imperfec-
tions.- Western Rural.

The Problem of Marriage.

There is q class of people that is greatly
worried about the operation of the divorce
laws: and there has been q society organ
lied to make it more difficult TO obtain di-
vorces and to make avs upon the subject
the same in all the States. Underlying the
movement is the belief that divorce except
for one cause is ~unscriDtural, and hence
with many the movement partakes of q
religious character. With such people the
object of course is that our laws shall not
conflict with the divine laws. But, more
generally, perhaps, the purpose is to put a
stop to what is regarded as a great social
evil. The rather indefinite aim is TO make
marriage more generally happy and thus
throw protection about the home. All
who ave the welfare of the home and OF
society at heart must lament the activity of
the Divorce Courts. But the Courts are not
the cause. They are ar effect. We might
shut them up, aud, though. by thus bring
ing men and women face to face with the
fact that when they promise each other to
stick for life it IS q promise hat is binding,
we might lead them to be more care
full about their intercourse with each other,
we should not insure happy marriages.
Beginning at the Divorce Court is not the
place to begin the reform of the evil which
we are trying to reform. There is no OBJ
lection al all ia smashing the Court. Upon
the whole we believe that society would
be better off if divorce were impossible,
though there may be two sides to the ques-
ton. Bat until we can get some more
sense into the heads of men and women
who fall in love we shall fail of our real
purpose.
Ayoupg man and young fall in
love-and so 90 old men and Old women
for that matter. and the last ray of good
common sense fades into nothineness. In
the majority of cases they at once become
irresponsible idiots. They are utterly in
approacbable with reason. Evidence as
clear rs the sun AT monday against their
fitness for each other only makes Them
love the harder ami talk the softer. They
are each perfec; in The others sight, and
the only thing outside of the burning, all

NAIL IN A HoRsE's FooT.-When the
horse-shoer pricks the foot with q clean
nail, which is at once Withdrawn and the
hole filed with a few drops of t%urpentine
the chances are hat no harm will come of
it. But if nothing is done and the horse
goes lame and lamer before the shoe is
taken of and the nail drawn, the proba-
bility is that the wound will tester. The
thing to do is, after removing the shoe, to
cut the nail hole out, following it exactly
until it bleeds freely. Then syringe or soap
it out with a carbolic acid water and fill the
opening loosely with a pledget of lint or
, oakum. Renew this treatment daily, and
do not replace the shoe until suppuration
ceases. If a horse picks up a nail ON the
| road, the treatment should be quite SINH
lar. The nail being blunter and often
dirty. the wound is usually a worse one
and the sensitive parts bruised, so that sup
| puration follows. In case the bone is
pierced and the pus is abundant and often
sive, a veterinary surgeon should be con-
suited. But meanwhile inject carbolic acid
| several times a day. If several days inter
yene between the time when the nail is
picked up, and when it is discovered, the
same treatment is followed but if a pus
sack is found, out of which the matter
squirts, care must be taken to make the
opening large enough to clearit all out, and
be sure that carbolic acid touches every
part.

The SIZE OF A SPIDERS THREAD.-Al-
though it is generally known that a spiders
thread is exceedingly fine, still very few
have any adequate idea of its extreme
minuteness. Ii we take a hundred spider
threads and combine them into one and
place the combined threads across the field
of a microscope, and then place by its side
a single human hair of ordinary ~fineness
the latter will appear of much larger diam,
eter. Indeed, some have asserted that il
100 spider threads, so multiplied, could be
closely spun into one, it would not present
a greater diameter than a single human
hair-the latter would in such a case be
equal in size to 10000 spider threads. If to
this we add the well-known fact that the
thread of the full-grown spider must be
two or three hundred times larger than
that OF a young spider when it begins to
spin its first threads, W. have the astonish-
ing fact hat the ordinary human hair must
be from two to three million times larger
than the finest thread of the spider. We
should also remember that every spider
thread is composed Of from five to eight
separate filaments, as they come from the
body of the insect. What incredible
minuteness. and how little do we know OF
the works of Nature.

ANIMAL SPIRITs.-The fox terrier is al
ways reader for a walk than his master,
and generally enjoys himself more thor
oughly on the way. His natural gait is
swifter than mans, and ali animals of
whom that can be said have a great adj
vantage in the amount of pleasure which
they derive, or ought to derive, from the
use of their limbs. The glory OF rapid me-
ton which we can only begin to realize on
the box-seat of a coach, or in the moy
ment of skating, must be something much
more intense TO the channels or the white
headed eagle. Constantly, throughout the
animal world, we notice that delight in the
use of muscle and limb, which in man
| scarcely survives his majority, but which
in them lasts far into maturity. We are
accustomed unconsciously torecognize their
~prercgative in this respect when we apply
the phrase animal spirits to a boy who
is fall of life and energy. and who enjoys a
run over the hills on a breezy day.-fae

MUscATs IN FREsNo-Is there money in
| growing grapes in Fresno county? There
is, if We are to judge by results now to be
seen. Ray White lives on East avenue,
Central Colony, about three and a half
miles south of Fresno. He has several
acres of six-year-old Muscat vines. These
vines average about 600 TO the acre, and
each vine now has upon it an average OF
fifty pounds of grapes, or fifteen tons per
acre. These grapes are worth, fresh picked.
S25 per ton, or 1878 per acre. If partially
cured and in the sweat box they are worth
6 cents per pound, or 5000 per acre; or if
cured and packed, they will sell readily for
10 cents per pound, or $1,000 per acre 1t
requires about three tons of grapes to make
one ton OF raisins, but Mr.. Whites little vine
yard viii this season yield more pounds of
raisins per acre than many of the vineyards
of other sections will produce of grapes.
We challenge the world 10 produce more
grapes per acre than ara actually grown in
Fresno county, and if this seasons pack OF
raIsins does not rival in appearance and
quality the best of Europe we will never
i" toot our horn again."-Fresno Republican.

Serious Danger

Threatens every man, woman or child liy-
ing in a region of country where fever and
ague is prevalent, since the germs of ma
larial disease are inhaled from the air and
are swallowed from the water of such 4 re-
gion. Medicinal safeguard is absolutely
necessary to nullify this danger. As q
means Of terrifying and acclimating the
system so as to be able to resist the mala-
rial poison, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
incomparably the best and the most popu-
lar. Irregularities of the stomach, liver
and bowels encourage malaria but these
are speedily rectified by the Bitters. The
functions of digestion and secretion are as
sisted by its use, and a vigorous IS well as
regular condition of the system promoted
by it. Constitution and physique are thus
defended against the inroads of malaria by
this matchless preventive, which is also a
certain and thorough remedy in the worst
cases of intermittent and remittent fevers.

How TO MEASURE a CANDLE-PowER.-
The measuring of the candle-power of a
light is accomplished by comparing the
shadow cast by a rod in the light of q
standard candle with the shadow cast by
the light to be tested. By moving the lat
ter toward or away from the rod q point
will be reached at which the shadow cast
by both lights will be of the same intensity.
The intensities Of the two lights are directly
proportional to the squares of their dis
tances from the shadows, !. C., suppose the
light to be tested is three times the distance
Of the candle, its Illuminating power is
nine times as great.

and consumers. 1t chespens all that be buys
and enhances the price of eli he produces. The
"~LANGFoRD COLONY" is most advantage
ously situated in this respect. 1t is between two
railroads that both connect with steamboats,
tina run from the Sacrament and San Joaquin
points to the Golden Gate. This gives the cheap
est freight and passenger rates for the distance
on this Coast. The markets for all kinds of pro-
ducts are good. The Canneries, Wineries and
Fruit Dealers take all the Fruit raised, at highly
remunerative prices. There is an unlimited
demand for all the Wine, Raisins, Figs, Prunes,

young men find it out too late. The foun-

richest family on the continent. Sir Isaac
Newton's famous explanation of his splen-
did success was, :" l intend my whole mind
upon it, Professor Joseph Henry OF
Washington, our great Christian scientist,
used to say to me: Il have no faith in
universal geniuses my rule is to train all
my guns on n point until / make a
breach" In these days of hot competition
there is no room on the street for any mar
who puts only q fraction of himself into
his business. From my very soul l pity a
half-hearted minister who is eternally bal
ancing between orthodox Bible truth a. d
the latest theological noFelty, or who tx
ponds so much of himself ON literature or
other side matters that, when the Sabbath
sermon comes. he is a squeezed oranee.
