And General Debility. Doctors disagree
as to the relative value of Cod Liver Oil and
Hypophosphites, the Ole supplying strength
and flesh, the other giving nerve power, and
acting as a tonic to the digestive and entire
system. But in SCOTS Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil with Hypophosphites the two are
combined, and the effect Il wonderful.
Thousands who have derived no permanent
benefit from other preparations Eaye been

palatable and is easily digested by those
who cannot tolerate plain Cod Liver Oil.

civil government OF the Northwest Territory
and II is omincntly lifting that its Centennial
should be celebrated upon the same spot. Con.

and 100 feet wide, facing Front street. and with
n stage 10 by i6I on the side toward the river
Tho outside OF the building is plain, and almost

is entirely different. In the hands of Mr. Al.

do not wish TO frighten visitors to
Paris, but IL may be MS we'll TO caution
them about patronizing the very cheap
restaurants, unless they happen to bo
hippophagists. M. Lecuyer, the in
spector of the butcheries, has Just pub
lished nm instructive report on the sale
OF horsenesh in the French capital.
II appears tho consumption OF this
meat, in more or less concealed form,
has increased'to an extraordinary eX-
tent. At present there are no fewer
than one hundred and fifty regularly
established horse butchers in Paris, in
dependent OF hawkers and other sales
men to be found in the small markets.
In 1885 the number OF animals killed
for sale was only S62; whereas during
the past year 1t rose TO as many as
10000, giving total OF 100000
pounds OF horsenesh for public con-
sumption. The two principal slaughter
houses are Mt Villejuif and Panton. or
course, these horse butchers are only
to be met with in the poor quarters,
and even there they are so disguised
that tho uninitiatcd would take them
to be bona fine caterers OF beef and
mutton. Few people buy or eat horse
flesh knowingly. The trade is carried
on in u semi-clandestine manner. The
shops are nearly always empty OF GUS
toners, but the meat finds its way in
the night to the cheap restaurants,
whora H. is dishod nm intn bnaf and tn
the pork butchers, where it is turned
into sausages. II is said that heaven
sends the meat and the devil sends the
cooks. If this be true the agents OF his
satanic majesty deserve credit for the
miraculous way in which thoy trans
mogrify the viande de choval. Ger
tainly philanthropists contend that
good horsenesh is better than bad beef,
and give hippophaSist banquets occa-
sionally to prove it. But there is horse
flesh and horsencsh. The meat eaten
at these feasts is the pick of the market,
and not old Roisnantes killed to save
them from dying. Moreover, in spite
of the inspectors, diseased horsefesh
| finds its way to the butchers somehow.
Last year moro than u thousand cur
casses were seized as unfit for food. On
the whole, public repugnance to the
article is as strong as ever, but the
culinary has attained such perfection
that mono but experts can detect the
fraud After all, since ignorance is
bliss in this case, it might be folly to

The first act of Tanner, when set at

desperate struggle he passed through

Common-Sense Education.

The question of direct influence on
the physical health of growing chill
dren, of constrained positions, of being
kept for several hours in one seat, OF
want of proper ventilation, of constant
nervous tension induced by persistent
wrestling with arithmetical puzzles
which no human being ought ever to
be expected to solve, and which are
utterly useless when solved-all these
influences may safely be left to be at
tackled by any observer. But our in
quiry should go deeper than this.
There is no more healthful tonic to the
body than healthful and happy activity
of the mind, and there is no more dead
ening and whitening influence on the
energy of the body than inertia OF the
mind, or than frittcring away of its
powers by employing them on questions
of little real importance and subjects
that have no relation TO each other.
Real mental activity on worthy objects
is healthful, not harmful, but n mechani-
cal grinding on unimportant and unre-
lated questions is destructive to health
and vigor, both mental ard physical.-

It can not truthfully bo denied that the
Burlington Route, g., b. 81 Q. II. r., is do
ing an extensive business, both passenger
and freight. OF the first named branch of
its service tho Chicago Herald recently said,
In speaking of the occasion OF the National
Republican Conventions "The Burlington
Road probably brought in more people than
any other Altogether 1t is estimated that
from June t6 to 10, tho period of the cxcur-
sion rates, over 120O0 strangers came to
Chicago over tho Burlington" This was
exclusive OF suburban passengers and
mostly in addition to its hoavy regular pass
ongcr traffic. In receipts OF live stock, the
Union Stock Yards Reports show the Bur-
lington to DO far in the lead. The average
number OF cars brought in by 1t during the
first six months of the years 1885, 1851 and
1888 is 20, 40; and tho number for the first
half of tho year 1883, Notwithstanding the
temporary depression caused by tho recent
great strike on its lines, was 21,425, or but
little below the average. The latter figure
also represents about "a per cent. of the
total number of cars, 10o,4l3, brought 10 the
Yards for the last half year, being moro
than six per cent. in excoss OF the receipts
by any other road.

verely than the very worst of criminals.

gal axiom. Haman, it will be remem-

They bound him nickel strong,

And on a gallows hong;
They hung him high abohe the rest,

They "hong him high abone the rest"
because his crimes were deemed to be
more heinous. So high he hung, he
looked like "a kite in the r."-Notes

With all its selfish strife;

Where oil things dance in JOY and light
Beneath some magic spell.
She wnlios nepin those dreamy songs

But not through human tongue;

And bring back memories from land

With head beneath his wing,
