We Appeal to Experience.

For a long time we steadily refused to pub
lish testimonials, believing that, in the opinion
Of the public generelly, the great majority
were manufactured to order by unprincipled
parties as a means of disposing Of their worth
less preparations.
T.. 1T this view Of the case is to a certain
extent trL there can be nc doubt.
At last, several years ago, we came to the
conclusion that every intelligent person can
readily discriminate between spurious and
bona fide testimonials, and determined to use
as advertisements a few of the many hundreds
of unsolicited certificates in our possession.
In doing this, we published them as nearly
as possible in the exact language used by our
correspondents, only changing the phrase
ology, in some cases, SO as to p them
into q smaller space than they would other
wise occupy, but without in the least exag-
gerating or destroying the meaning Of the
writers.
We are glad to say that our final conclusion
was a correct one.-that a letter recommend
ing an article having true merit finds favor
with the people.
The original of every testimonial published
by us is on file in our Office, an inspection of
which will prove to the most skeptical that
our assertion made above, that only the facts
are given as they appear therein, is true.
But as it would be very inconvenient, if not
impossible, for all our friends to cali on us for
that purpose, we invite those who doubt Gf

parties whose names are signed to our testi

and Piso's Remedy for Catarrh.
We append a recent letter, which came to
us entirely unsolicited, with permission to
publish it:
DAYTON, Ohio, Jan. 12, 1856.
You may add my testimony as to the
merits of Pise's Cure for Consumption. I
took a severe cold last February, which settled
on my lungs. They became liberated and
we're so painful that I had no rest for two
days and nights. l got a bottle Of Piso's Cure
for Consumption, and was relieved by the
time I had taken half of it. Since that time
l have kept Piso's Cure in the house, and use
it Us a preventive, both for lung troubles and
Group, for which I can recommend it as the
best medicine I ever used; and that is saying
a great deal, for 1 have used at least twenty
others, besides about as many physicians
prescriptions. Piso's Cure for Consumption
has never failed to give relief in my family.

The Olive Eaters.

The extent to which the olive is used
varies greatly in different countries. In
northern countries it is used chiefly as q
relish eaten by itself, or as a sauce, sea-
soning or stufhng for meats, fowls or
game. It is ON the tables of the rich
what the French call a hors d'nuvre-
that is, a side dish or table supcrHuity.
But it is far otherwise with the poor in
the south of Europe, to whom it is an
important article of diet. In ancient times
the poor made an entire meal of bread
md olives. 1t is still the same in some
parts of Europe, where a peasant thinks
himself prepared for q journey with a
piece of bread under his arm and q hand
full of olives IN his pocket. In Southern
Italy no meal is made without olives.
The olive merchants pas regularly at
supper time through the poorer quarters
of the city. It is the Spanish habit to
eat olives at the end of Il meal, but not
too many. Three or four are usually
thought enough, or if they are very good
one may eat a dozen. An italian author
recommends the preserving Of Spanish
olives-that is, of those grown on italian
soll-but prefers those called Saint
Francis, which is common at Ascoli,
where it attains the size of n walnut. 1t
is. however, generally agreed among
gourmets that the smaller olives are best
for eating. Tho manner of treatment has,
nevertheless, perhaps, something to do
with the coarse quality of the Spanish
olive when found in thu peninsula.
Olives are preserved in Italy, as else
where, in weak lye or brine. They are
also bruised, stuffed in the Bordeaux
manner or dried. In eastern countries,
whence the olive came, the fruit forms
still an important article of diet.-san

Demonstrating the Polarity of ~Tadpoies.
The following is reported about an in
teresting experiment Of the Psychologist
Professor l.. Herman. In a flat bowl
filled with water, in which a number of
IA days'-oh frog Larvae (of Rama temper
ARIA were disporting themselves, were
sunk along the narrow side, ready for an
experiment, thick zinc wires connected
with a battery of twenty little zinc car
bon elements. When the current was
made, the whole of the little animals
fell into a wriggling motion, which 500
ceased. But all the larvae without ex-
ception had taken up one position, in
which the head was turned to the anode
and the tail to the cathode. The ami
mails remained in this position till the
current was again broken, when they
again fell into the ~wriggling motion, but
now less violently. Repeated expert
ments proved that the living animals
showed a decided polarity, placing them
selves along the stream lines of a cur
rem with their heads all in one direction,
the direction being reversed when the
current was reversed. An explanation
of this interesting phenomenon has not

Professor Iglesias, of San LUZ Potosi.
maintains that the barometlical 9
urements of the Mexican mountain, have
been formulated without due allowance
for the influence of the coast climate,
and that Mount Orizaba, not Popocata-
petl, is the summit of the North Amer
lean continent. 1t is certainly the finest
mountain of the Mexican Cordilleras.
Its rival humps its broad back above the
naked hills of the central plateau, while
Orizaba lifts its symmetrical cone high
above the pine submits of the coast
range, as the only snow-peak which the
mariners of the gulf can view in its full
grandeur. The height exceeds that of
Mont Blanc by at least 1900 feet-Dr.

THE AMERICAN EXHIBITION.

The directors of the American exhibit
ton, to be held next year in London, has
issued an address setting forth the history
and purpose of the organization and the
plans and methods it proposes to adopt.
The display is to be strictly confined to
exhibits from the United States, but with
this limitation is open to everything that
could be concluded in the scope of such
an enterprise. Its primary object is to
illustrate the excellence and variety Of the
industrial. mineral and agricultural pro-
ducts of this country by making a full
exhibit in the great commercial metropolis
Of the world. During the continuance of
the exhibition London will be, even more
than usually, the resort Of a great CEN
course from all parts of the world, on ac-
count of the national celebration of the
fftieth year of the present reign, which
will be marked by a succession of fetes
and attractions Of the highest order. The
Colonial and Indian exhibition of last
year was an entire success and its exclu-
sively American successor will possess the
advantage of a more opportune season
and a larger public. The following ex-
tracts are taken from the address:
The object of the American exhibition
in London is to display in the metropolis
of Great Britain, the chief market Of the
world, a more complete collection OF the
products OF the soil and mine, and of the
manufactures of the United States than
has ever been shown in Europe; to i'm
press the millions OF that continent, and
Others. with a sense OF the magnitude and
variety of our industrial resources and
the skill and ingenuity of our artisans; to
increase the foreign trade of the United
States wherever established, and to ex-
Tend it into countries where, at present,
it has no foothold; and finally to quicken
the flow of foreign capital to this country
for the further development of its natural
wealth and resources. The international
sympathies which have been already
evoked in Great Britain and the United
States by the forthcoming exhibition, are
neither feeble nor insignificant, and it has
been observed that to maintaining and
enhancing them the English speaking race
may most confidently look for a c%ontinu-
ance of material and moral progress on
both sides of the Atlantic.

While Jefferson Grimley. a carpenter,
was engaged tearing down the cornice
of a house near Schwenksville. he found
a piece of pine wood six and one-half
inches long, whitfield roughly into the
form Of a cylinder. Six holes were bored
into the wood, three going entirely
through, but having different diameters.
In the largest hole stuck a pin, cut from
the same kind of wood. This instru-
ment, it is explained, was used to pre-
vent certain supposed wizards from
carrying IN their mysterious arts. The
pin was placed in the different sized
holes to impose upon the wizard differ
ent degrees Of torture, and when placed
in the largest hole it would infallibly
kill. 1t vas found sticking in the hole
when the affair was discovered. A
wooden pin was also driven into the door
jamb of the horse stable. Behind the
pin was a lot of horse hair and a piece of
paper covered with cabalistic marks.
This was designed to prevent spells be-
ing put upon the horses while blowing.

The recent French surveys nave shown
that the magnitude Of the Algerian sea
project has been greatly exaggerated.
No large part of northern Africa can be
flooded, the desert Of Sahara proving to
have an average height Of LOO feet,
and the only area below the sea level be-
ing comprised in two "Chottsn COM
mencing about 100 miles due west OF the
gulf OF Gabes and covering only about
LOO square miles-less than half the
area of Lake Ontario. The flooding Of
the depressed region would give n lake
averaging seventy-eight feet in depth.
The creation OF new sea of a such size
could hardly produce the great effects
upon the worlds climates and upon the
depth Of the ocean which have been
foreseen in the sp%eculations OF some
scientific writers.-Arkansaw Traveller.

WORK OF THE FALcoNER.
No Little Trouble to Take Care of the
HAwks-Dutie In Detail.

No Little Trouble to Take Care of the
Hawks-Duties In Detail.
A ~falconer who has the exclusive care
of half a dozen trained birds, whether
falcons or hawks, or both, finds little
time hanging heavily on his hands. By
the time he has moved out his charges
to the lawn and set their nocturnal abode
in order, he will have got an appetite for
his own breakfast. Then there is the
business of feeding those hawks which
are to fly, and perhaps exercising most
Of them to the lure, in the manner SO
graphically described by Izaak Walton.
Then the bath or baths must be filled,
and the hawks which are to be INDUCED
with that luxury moved to a place where
they can jump in and splash about to
their hearts delight.
Then the plan of the days campaign
must be arranged, having regard to wind
and weather, and the chance of where
the quarry is most likely to be found,
and when the days work in the field is
ove the falconer's day is not nearly
done. There is the feeding up" of tho
hawks that have not been allowed, or
have not had time, to take their pleas
ure' on the quarry. Everything de-
ponds upon melting out to the hungry
creatures just that quantity of food
which will keep them in full health and
strength, but without overgorging them
or making them inactive on the morrow.
If a feather has been broken by some ac-
accident during the day it must be
mended at once; if a jess is worn out it
must be replaced. The feet and beaks
of all the hawks should be cleansed,
their hoods seen to, and the lures made
ready for use on another day. Nor let it
be forgotten that there is such a thing as
losing a hawk. When this disaster hap
pens the country is secured till dark in
search of the truant, and IL not found,
the falconer, before break of day, is
again on the lookout with his lure in
hand.
A successful falconer lies IN no bed of
roses. Only constant attention will
make his hawks fond of him. But when
they are so, he stands among them a
friend among faithful friends. At a
sign from him they will jump toward
him; nay, at his first appearance-in the
words of the old sportsman-"they re-
joyce" The character of each of them
for hawks differ in character as much
as men and women-is as well known to
him rs his own. He knows what can or
car not be lone with each; and thus he
is still able to carry on the most difficult
of all sports without the disappointments
that have frightened away from it less
patient and preserving tyros.-English
illustrated Magazine.
