Most of us know the story of the
American who, visiting some provincial
museum on the continent, was shown a
rusty blade which, he was assured, was
the identical knife used by the brave
Charlotte when she finished the blood
thirsty Jean Paul. "Where's the fork p

A gentleman who has made a special
study of rats says a rat by nature is COM
PEELED to gnaw; If he does not his teeth
grow so rapidly that his jaws become

cunning and sensitive of creatures, and
when cornered is very vicious. They are
easily alarmed by rumbling or jarring

A slave could be bought for about sew

The eye stone is really the front door
of sea snail found on the South Amer
ican coast. Thousands of people believe
that these bits of she'll are alive, from
the fact that they will move when placed
in vinegar. The philosophical explana-
tion of the movement is that the acid,
acting upon the substance of the shell,
generates little bubbles of gas, which
force it along through the fluid When
you pick out an eye stone be sure to get
one with grooves on the fiat side. Those
that are smooth all over are taken from
the crayfsh, but are no good.
In Persia the marriage of first cousins
is the favorite union The reason is that
cousins have been acquaintances and
friends from childhood, while to the rest
of the world, save their brothers and sis

SO that, unless there is a mutual disincli-
nation or too great disparity of age, the
Persian yonth looks forward to the
daughter of my uncle" as his future
wife. Often the cousins are betrothed
from childhood. AS rule, classes do
not mingle in marriage. The sons of
merchants wed merchants daughters;
the young tradesman mates with his like,
and so with the members of the servant
and soldier classes.

We have so often seen fatal results follow
thedeclsration that It can be cured, that we
have unconsciously settled down in the belief
that this disease must necessarily prove fatal
It is true that occasionally a community has
witnessed an isolated case of what may ap-
propriately be termed spontaneous recovery,
but to what combination Of favorable circum-
stances this result was due none have hitherto
been found able TO determine.
We have now the gratifying fact to announce
that the process by which nature affects this
wonderful change is no longer a mystery TO
the medical profession, and that the changes
brought about in the system under favorable
circumstances by intrinsic causes may DO
made as certainly and more expeditiously by
the use of the proper remedy. In other words,
nature is initiated and assisted.
Tuberculous matter is nothing more or less
than nourishment imporfsctly organized.
Now, if we can procure the organization of
this food material so that through the process
of elective affinity it may take its place in the
system, we can cure the disease. This is just
what Piso's Cure for Consumption does. 1t ar
rests at once the progress Of the disease by
preventing the further supply of tuberculous
matter, for while the system is under its infu-
ence all nourishmenti is organized and assimi-
lated. IL thus controls cough, eNpectoration,
OlEnl-SWeatS. neCtlC IeNef. ana bll OlieT Cnhr-
acteristic symptoms of Consumption.
Many physicians are now using this medi-
cine, and all write that it comesfully up TO its
recommendations and makes Consumption one
of the diseases they can readily cure.
The forming stage of disease is always the
most auspicious for treatment. This fact
should induce persons To resort to the use Of
Piso's Cure when the cough is first noticed
whether IL has a consumptive diathesi6 FORTS
cause or not. for this remedy cures all kinds of
coughs with unequaled facility and prompt
ness. In coughs from n simple cold, two or
three doses of the medicine have been found
sufficient to remove the trouble. SO in all dis
eases of the throat and lungs, with symptoms
Stimulating those of Consumption, Piso's Cure
is the only infallible remedy.
The following letter recommending Piso's
Cure for Consumption, is a fair sample of the
certificates received daily by the proprietor Of
this medicine.

Harvest Months.

1t is an interesting fact that wheat
growing has now become so widely
extended over the surface of the
earth that the moon never fails to
find ripe field to shine upon. When
the growth of this grain was largely con-
fined to one latitude the regular occur
renee of the ''harvest moon was con-
sldered by some q special arrangement to
lengthen the day for the hurried reapera
AS now grain is falling somewhere every
month of the year, many must have to
get along without this helpful phe-
nomenon. No doubt statement of the
continual harvesting, and the time when
different countries accomplish their in
gathering, will be of general interest.
We find the following in an exchange:

A Noted Rock.

About fifty miles above Astoria, SAYS
letter from Oregon, we passed the far.
famed Coffin Rock, the indirect cause of
the great Yakima war of 1856. 1t is a
huge granite stone in the edge of the
river, on the Washington side, and was
used from time immortal as a place oil
burial by the Indians. 1t rises about
two hundred feet above the water, is
several hundred feet in length, covered
with dense forest of pines and fir tree.
at its base, and on top is bare and
broken with immense assures. A single
fir tree stands on its points like a solitary
sentinel above the resting place of the
Indian warrior. The Indians were &C.
customed years ago to bring their dead
here for interment. The corpse wa.
placed in the canoe used by the departed
in life, and at his side his bows and
arrows, his pipe and blankets, and all he
owned on earth, and then he was laid
away in some cleft of the rock. After
ward the friends of the departed would
return to bring supplies of dried salmon
and other edibles which they imagined
the dead needed in the hunting grounds
of the Great Spirit. Finally the sacri
legious paleface, being in need of ca
noes for mundane purposes, found il
more convenient to borrow those of the
dead braves than to make his own, ano
acted accordingly, dumping the bones o.
the departed chiefs into the crevices o.
the rock, and wearing off their blankets
This, Of course, incensed the red man
and finally brought on the Yakima mas
sacre and subsequent war.
