Undlgested Food

In the stomach develops an acid which stings
the upper part of the throat and palate, caus-
ing heartburn" 1t also evolves gas which
produces ''wind on the stomach" and feeling
and appearance of dstension in that organ
after eating. For both this acidity and swell
ing Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a much
better remedy than alkaline salts, like harris
horn and carbonate of soda. A wineglassful
OF the Bitters after or before dinner, will be
found to act as a reliable carminative or pre-
yentive. This fine specific for dyspepsia, both
In its acute and chronic form, also prevents
and cures malarial fever, constipation, liver
complaint, kidney troubles, nervousness and
debility. Persons who observe in themselves
n decline of vigor should use this fne tonic
without delay.

Down over the dizzy point of rocks
from the blue distance of Cheyenne
canyon, rises q musical mrmur and
rush Of water to mingle with the low
signing Of the pines. From her grave
one may look down through the parted
trees upon her enbowered earthly home
among the gracefully sweeping hills,
with tie stretch Of yellow plain beyond
rising 10 the horizon. At the foot of the
slope wells out a spring of pure limpid
water into tile basin that was covered
with golden autumn leaves; then over

Canada's army consists of military
force of 5000 men, not including the
reserve militia. The force is sometimes
spoken Of as volunteers, sometimes as
militia, but tlioei is in reality no such
difference. The force is essentially n
volunteer forcr, composed of civilians
fromthetowns and country, those raised
in the former Icing called -city corps
and in tie latter rural corps.n The
amount of drill required by the militia
act for each man is about sixteen days
in two years.
Many OF the rural corps arc not called
ont annually, and do no more drill than
that required of them, while the city
corps resemble much the volunteer corps
OF our large towns at home, and drill
annually as arranged by their command
ing officers. Tho men receive 50 cents
tgs) a day for authorized drill. They
are armed with the snider rife. In adj
dition to her militia, Canada possesses a
regular force enlisted as soldiers, and
distributed in schools throughout the
different provinces for purposes Of in.

A Rnsslnn wnr CurIon.l, prclIrlrh.

Society at st, Petersburg is Just now
much occupied with the revival Of a
very curious story, About three years
ago there was a spiritualstic seance at
the Officers club in that city, at which
the spirit Of famous departed general
was called up, and prophesied among
other things that there would be great
war in 1886 in which Russia would take
the leading part. As the ghost of the
deceased warrior mentioned among the
names of officers who would greatly dis.
tingIish themselves during the war,
those Of some men who did not even
figure in the army list, the affair was
looked upon rs a joke and nothing more
was thought Of it.
But, by n strange coincidence, among
recent appointments TO the rank Of
commissioned officers, the very names
appear which the spirit had foretold, the
bearers being men of no family, who
have risen from .he ranks. As there is
no country in the world where super.
stitition il carried to such IN extent rs
III Russia, the Incident has caused quito
a sensation, 1t would be very strange
if at the commencement of the year
1885 we should zee Russia drawn into a
war with Austria. as a result of the
struggle between Servia and Bulgaria.
