A Ghastlx Hlastnr Cast.

There is curious object of interest in
the Algiers museums CHASTITY plaster
cast of the Christian martyr Geronimo
writhing in the agony of death. Tradi-
tion had for 800 years tod the story of the
Moorish lad who, coming under the
influence of Spanish missionary monks,
became Christian and a saint in all but
faith. He abjured the faith, ii was said,
for brief moment under the pressure Of
bitter persecution and slavery, but re-
turned to it with new zeal, and proved it
in the end by heroic and horrible death
that of being thrown alive, with his
hands tied behind him, into block Of
liquid concrete, which was afterward
built into the wall OF one OF the outlying
forts near the city. Such was the tradi-
ton, singularly and Literally true in the
minutest details, as was proved in 1853,
when part of the Fort des Vingtquatre
Heures was demolished, and block of
concrete found containing the accurate
impression of the writhing body, face
downward, and the hands tied with cords
behind the back. The block itself was
claimed by the church, and deposited
with great honor in what used to be a
Mohammedan mosque, but Is now the
Roman Catholic cathedral of the town

Fr,m the Cincinnati OhIo Postl
Recently a gentleman interested in the
subject of dyspepsia. had occasion to look
up statistics, and his report thereon is
quite interesting He finds that this com
plaint prevails principally among peo-
pie of moderate living, and others of pre-
JUDGED views who oppose the use of
stimulant in any form, and that among
the more wealthy classes and those who
maintain sIdeboard. there are cOmpara-
lively few cases of dyspepsia. He claims
that in England, where there are the most
immOderate eaters and gOurmands of the
world, and where the most indigestible
edibles are indulged-such as plum
pudding and veal pies at night-dyspepsis
is almost unknown. Englishmen laugh
at the feeble and debilitated stomachs of
Americans, and any American who has
Travelled in England will tell how he was
ridiculed at the mention of dyspepsia
Their exemption from diseases of this
kind, this writer claims, is due entirely to
the stimulants they drink with their
of all ages-and yet despite this free use
Of stimulant, there is comparatively little
drunkenness among the English. He goes
further to'say. that there Is a natural, in
born craving for stimulation. and on ac-
count OF the great varities and indigesti-
BILE qualities of the food of the present
day. stImulaut is as necessary as the food
itself. 1t is a question, he maintains,
whether the people of this country are
not straining their ideas and prejudices
against the use OF stimulants to dan
gerous extent and to the destruction of
The health of the people. This stupid op-
position to a judiciOus use Of the same. es-
pecially when we have pure article like
Duffy's pure malt whiskey, has done more
harm and been the cause OF more misery
as evidenced by the thousands of dys-
peptics and other inyalids whose COM
plants are directly traceable to imperfect
digestiOn-than could ever arise from
even I free indulgence in the use of
liquors. The waste and decay of the lungs
is always closely associated with, aud fol-
lows almost directly upon, weakened
stomach and impaired digestion. and in
fact, nearly all complaints that human
flesh is heir to originate from this
source. and health and scomfOrt hinge
almost alone upon this point.

Stabs viciously the dead midsummer

That wraps in smot herring heat the 81

Where rest the painting butterflies and

And bids the hot noon listen to thy lays

Around whose wavy symbols memory
