Exercise and Occupation for Dyspeptics.
Exercise in the open air and sunlight
properly proportioned to the physical
strength and endurance, is of great value
in many cases. That obtained by walk
ing is the most useful in the larger pro-
portion of instances. This is specially to
be remembered by those who have
changed their habits from active to Sc.
dentary. Elderly people who have ac-
quired a competency and retired
from business are frequently martyrs to
dyspepsia. These should secure some
kind of mental and bodily employment
il they would escape suffering. A visit
to watering places, mountain climbing,
travel, especially by sea, or in foreign
countries, often cure such cases after
the utter failure of drugs. "Waterbrash"
is relieved by the subnitrate of sub-car-
Donate of bismuth; heartburn by the al
kalies, such as ime-water, bicarbonate
of soda or potash, or magnesia; disten-
sion of the stomach by gases, by charcoal
finely powdered, essential oils, anise or
peppermint, etc. The bitter tonics: qJIin-
inc, salicin, quassia, gentian, columbo,
etc, increase appetite, and aid in the
digestion of more food. Iron, i'll some

much relief.-Cor. Globe-Democrat

The variable climate Of Cuba.

The climate of Cuba is much more
variable than is generally supposed. A
letter from Havana say that one day this
spring the mercury fell from 50 or 81 to
62, cold north wind prevailing, and
summer apparel was insufficient for
comfort. High winds prevail, especially
in the afternoon, and fine, impalpable
dust is driven along the streets and into
the houses. The changes are frequent,
and the climate is decidedly enervating
to stranger. A very little walk fatigues
one excessively. Not one-quarter as much
exercise can be taken as in the northern
United States. Many persons suffer
from bad colds. If the thermometer
drops few degrees a Cuban will wear
his hat in the house and button his coat
and look as if he expected to be frozen.
On the other hand, a stranger in Ha-
vana does not dare to walk in the sun
during the heat of the day.-Chicago

utter disregard of all sanitary and hy-

neglect of each other when sick or
wounded, and their continuous nightly
round of dissipation, have long been a
serious menace to the health of every
city ON the Pacific coast"
The New York Medical Journal adds
that about the same thing can be said of
the lower class of Italians and of Russian
and Polish Jews which are now being
poured upon the eastern shores.-@-

Rachel was cold and very unamable.
Her acuteness and force of character can
not be too highly extolled. She kept
aloof from her fellow-actors and cared
nothing in the world for stage business.
She filled the stage completely. The au-
dience cared nothing for the play when
che was not on, and talked as if it were
between acts. At her entrance all noise
ceased and her impassioned eloquence
thrilled and carried the feelings of the
audience. The other actors were dis
heartened and dared not receive any
honors for fear of being dismissed.
Rachel did not care TO share any of the
honors. She was extremely parsimoni-
Gus. The latter quality was eXemplihed
at big dinner that she gave to some
aristocratic guests. knights, courtiers
and the highest in the land were pres
ent. Pineapples were very expensive
and rare then. The fruit center-piece,
she desired to have surmountsd by al

hired one for the evening for seventy

The Most Pernicious Glass of Youth.

Above all, deplore it as we must, it is
the historical fact that the rapid increase
of wealth in any country is always ac-
companied by the lowering of the moral
standards. The most pernicious class of
youth in America to-day is largely re-
cuited from the children of the new rich,
who are debauching themselves and cor
rupting those about them with fearful
energy. And the schools are not charge
able with the existence or the mischief
of these youthful Inalefactors. They
have little to do with the schools, except
to infect them with their own idleness
and vice; and the better the schools are,
the less likely such pupils are to remain
in them for any length of time.-Rev.

The Egg as a religious emblem.

Eggs, before their use at Easter, were
honored in pagan times. In the rites of
Bacchus (Kossos) a consecrated egg was
an emblem of one of their mysteries
These rites were celebrated fifteen CEN
turies before the Christian era. The
Druids bore an egg as an emblem of
their order, The Hindoo myths cele-
brate their mundane egg as of a golden
color. The japanese egg is of polished
brass. In China, at certain of their
sacred festivals. dyed and ornamented
eggs are used to this day as religious
symbols. The use of consecrated eggs is
traced to the most ancient times of
Egypt. In Germany it was at one
period the practice to present-instead of
veritable eggs-an emblematic print, in
which three hens are holding basket,
wherein are placed three eggs. Over the
center egg is a lamb, with chalice rep
resenting Faith. The other eggs bear
the emblems of Charity and Hope

Artificial Propagation Of Lobstsrs.

The United States fish commission has
recently issued an interesting paper upon
the subject of Holsters. The lover of lob
ster salad will regret to learn that the
supply, as well as the size, OF this sea fruit
is rapidly decreasing, and the fish COM
mission is devoting its energies TO artifi-
cial propagation. The Matching of large
quantities of lobster eggs is now being
carried on at the stations OF the fish COM
mission, and then the young lobster is
launched in such localities as are consid-
cred most favorable to their growth.
The eggs of lobster are comparatively
large, being about one-twelfth Of an inch
in diameter, and each lobster carries
from about IL, 900 to "a, 900 according to
its size. The decrease in the crop has
been a serious loss to many fisherman
and dealers.-Curtis in Inter Ocean.

Surely that little shining hill is not the

Milk should not be taken in copious
draughts, Like beer or other fluids which
differ from it chemically. If we consider
the use of milk in infancy, the pLysi-
illogical Indigestion. that is, Of food pro-
vided for it, each small mouthful is Sc
cured by effort and slowly presented to
the gastric mucous surface for the
primal digestive stages. 1t Is thus regu-
larly and gradually reduced to curd, and
the stomach is not oppressed with a
lump of half-congulated milk. The
same principle should be regarded in the
case of the adult. Milk should be
slowly taken in mouthfuls, at short in
tervals, and thus it is rightly dealt with
by the gastric juice. If milk be taken
after other food it is almost sure to
burden the stomach and cause discom-
fort and prolonged indigestion, and this
for the obvious reason that there is not
sufficient digestive agency to dispose of
it; and the better the quality of the
milk, the more severe the discomfort
under these conditions. Science

Cost of Keepinrn Yacht.

In conversation with a leading steam
ship owner the other day we landed on
the subject of William X. Vanderbilt's
new pleasure boat, and the marine ex-
pert said;
Sew people have an idea what the
keeping of a modern steam yacht costs.
1t is safe to put it, interest on the invest
ment and all, at at least $500 day when
it is in use. When it is laid up the ex-
penses of crew and living are saved, but
interest and wear and tear go on. Of
course this figure will cover the cost Of
keeping as many friends as you can
crowd on board, but it does not cover
personal expenses. When you add to it
the expense Of keeping upa house ashore
even when he is away on the ocean, you
can readily form conception of what, a
mans income must be to stand it. Ur-
der $500, 900 year the luxury of steam
yacht is impossible. New York News

The superstitiOns of Circus Men.

Circus men are more or less supersti-
tious. One of them asserts that if two acci-
dents happen to him in the ring in quick
succession, the third never fails to follow,
and generally proves the most severe of
the trio. Another vows that if, when
riding, his horse casts a shoe, something
unlucky is about to happen. In proof of
this he mournfuIly exhibited a scar on
his head, which years ago the casting of
a horses shoe caused him to receive. A
lady equestrian considers a fall from her
horses back on the first circling of the
ring an omen of such fatalistic sorrows
that she shudders when it occurs

existence of a medal of honor which is

preacher slowly arose and told the
ambitious young brother that while he
had, no doubt, seen the letters in a
Vision, he had failed in the interpreta-

cotton" or go plant corn" This settled
the matter. A preacher in the New

to friend sitting near: "Iwish we had

and the ingenuity of designers has not
been able to keep pace with the demands
made upon them. 1 see now that the
manufacturers of wall paper are going
back to the old styles, and they say they
are forced to do this because the artists
of Paris, who supply them with fancies
and who have been magnlficently paid
for designs furnished in the past three or
four years, now confess themselves una
BILE to get up anything new. Some of
the best French artists were engaged in

as much for new design in paper dec
