London Valuation.

Since the passing of the ''Valuation
(Metropolis) Act" of 1869, there have
been four quinquenneial revaluations,
the last being in the present year 1886.
Though the new valuation list showed
total rateable value considerably
larger than that of tho year 1885, the
increase is much less than has resulted
from each of the three previous re-
valuations. The valuation of the wear
1870 raised the total ra!eable value
from 4l6.257,G43 to ELS, ZIG, 237 an in.
crease of nearly two millions and q
half. BY the valuation of the year
1875 the total value was raised from
f2O: $50 GAG to f23, Ill 1913. an increase
of nearly two millions and a quarter,
while the valuation of 1880 resulted
10 raising the total from E24,5O1, 41(
to f27, 4O5, 4S8, an increase little short
Of three millions. It was not to be ex.
pectcd that these remark able increases
of value should go on indefinitely in
the same ratio. and probably, wher
the depression of trade during the
past few years is considered, it is al
most more than could have been an.
tic;pated that the rateable value of the
metropolis should have risen. as it has
done according to the new valuation
list, from f28,92O,537 to f3O,537, 1873
an advance of more than million and
a half.

Serious Danger.

Threatens every man, woman or child liv
ing in region of country where fever and
ague Is prevalent, since the germs of ma.
larial disease are inhaled from the air and
are swallowed from the water of such q
region. Medicinal safeguard is absolutely
necessary to nullify this danger. As q
means of fortifying and acclimating the
system so as to be able to resist the
malarial poison, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters is incomparably the best and the most
popular. irregularities of the stomach,
liver and bowels encourage malaria; but
these are speedily rec titled by the Bitters'
The functions Of digestion and secretion
are assisted by its use, and a vigorous Al
veil as regular condition Of the system
promoted by it. Constitution and physique
are thus defended against the inroads OF
malaria by this matchless preventive
which is also certain and thorough rem
edy in the y orst cases of intermittent and
remittent fevers.

Silence and SDe0Ch.

"Silence is golden" is an old saying
but none the less true for being old.
For nothing will bring a person into
contempt and ridicule sooner than pre-.
tending to know what he does not
know. Aperson is not called upon to
expose his ignorance.
In one of our New England colleges
it was matter of surprise why a GER
tain student stood so we'll in his classes.
The secret: Early in his college course
he adopted the rule to answer the ques-
ton asked and never volunteer any in
formation that was uncalled for. He
noticed that many students would an
swer the question correctly and then,
to show their knowledg &c would go on
with an explanation that was uncalled
for and would often become involved
in difficulties and thus lose much credit
for their correct answer. BY all means
if person is asked question that he
does not know, let him say so frankly
and he will lose no respect by so doing.
1t is easy enough to ask questions that
Cno WlScSG Qdu CdQQOl answer.
But if a subject that he is not famil-
air with is being discussed it is just as
we'll to keep still, for certainly he gets
no credit or honor by exposing his ig-
nOrance.
There is natural tendency when a
subject is discussed, to offer some in
formation to show a familiarity with
the subject. This is as foolish as it is
often ridiculous. for if the Information
is correct it is often of the most trivial
character, and quite as apt to cause
contempt as respect. For example, in
mixed company some one spoke of
the "civil service" ''Oh, yes,' said
another, "They are the men who write
the weather probabilities for the pa
pers." Nothing could be more uncalled
for or more ridiculous than this remark.
If be was sure he knew all about it
there was certainly no occasion to tell
the others unless he was asked and If
he was not sure about it, il certainly was
not necessary to make any remark.
If a subject comes up that is not ia
miliar very often it will be explained as
the conversation goes on. 1t not un-
frequently happens that the persons
most willing to listen and learn are
really the best informed, for there is
no one so unwilling to learn as tho
person who thinks that he knows it all.

A countryman and his son put up

Johnny's Composition on Medicine.

"There is two kinds of medicine besides
the kind you Rub On and the first kind is
the Soft Kind which you take with a
spoon while A man holds your Head and
you kick and Riggle some because it Tastes
so and the other kind is the Hard kind
which is called Pills, and it
is the Hardest of the whole
because it is SO Hard to 20 Down
but it does not MAKE any Difference which
kind you Take when you get it Took you
wish you Had not for it makes quite Row
in your Stomach aud Riots Around"
Evidently Johnny's experience in
medicine docs not include DR.. Pierce's
pheasant Purgative Pelletts," which are
easy to take aud do their work quietly and
calmly. Neither does it include in the
way of "Soft Medicine'' DR.. Pierce's
''G"lden Medical Discovery" which
though powerful to cure all chronic de.
rangements OF the liver and blood lie

effects. Unequaled as a remedy for all

Miss WO0dford.

Brooklyn Eagle: The rumors regard
ing the demoralized condition of the
Brooklyn stable have q good founda-
ton. After the great special race at
Sheepshead last spring between Trou-
badour and Miss Woodford it was whis-
pered that the maid had 'gone wrong"
but the Dryers denied the story. It
will cause feeling of sincere regret to
all lovers of horsefesh to know that
the rumors concerning Miss Woodford
are true and that she has completely
broken down. Regarding the rumors
Phil Dryer said today:
1T is true that Miss Woodford has
broken down, her tore-legs having
given out completely. We shall send
her to Kentucky to be bred to Hindoo
some time this fall or next spring
We feel bad, of course. about her mis-
fortune, for we thought u great deal of
her outside of her money value. She
was grand horse. aud We shall always
keep a tender spot in Our hea: Is FIR her.
Tom Martin is also broken down, and
l doubt whether he will ever amount
to much hereafter. Inspector Is. has

er he will be fit for racing either at
Sheepshead Bay or jerome Park. He
is not broken down, however. and may
recover very soon. fremont. our
great 2-year-old, has boon retired from
the turf for the year.
He could not start in any of the year
old events without carr, m. twelve
pounds penalty, and, rs We ha t
worked him hard during tho season,
and as he is entered for all the 3-year-
old stakes of next year, We Thought it
best to retire him. 1t is not true that
his hoof is split. OF course. cannot
say how good he will be ~ Il 3.year-
old, but know that as u 2->ear-vl d
his equal has never been seen in this
country, if in the world. 1t is, of
course, unfortunate that all these COM
plicatiOHs have come upon us, but the
horses have all done good work, and
it is the fortune of the turf. We still
have some good horses left, including
Dewdrop, Hanover, who ia yet I'M
beaten as a 2-year-old: Winfred, Pom
tiac, Young Luke, Brambleton, Rich
mOnd, Agnes, Mile, Louise, Bessie
June, and Joe Cotton. who will all, l
think, give good account of themselves
before long,
The Brooklyn stable has already
won nearly S150,000 during the pres
ent season, which is $4,000 more
than their total winnings for 1884. and
1868, 600 more than their 1885 winnings.
Miss Woodford' total earning 8 amount
to 500, 480 by far the greatest amount
ever won by any horse on til 9 Ameri-
