Don't Give up the Ship.

You have been told that consumption
is incurable; that when the lungs are at
tackled by this terrible malady, the suf-
ferer is past all help, and the end is
mere question of time. Ynu have noted
with alarm the unmistakabl, symptoms
of the disease; you have tried all manner
of so-called cures in vain, and you are
now despo, dent and preparing for the
worst. But don't give up the ship while
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
remains untried. 1t is not cure all, nor
will it perform miracles, but it has cured
thousands of cases of consumption, in its
earlier stages, where all other means had
failed. Try it, and obtain new lease
of life.

The symptoms of Biliousness are un
happily but too well known. They differ in
iii fferent individuals 20 some extent A
Bilious man is seldom IA breakfast eater.
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but none for solids of a
morning. His tongue will hardly bear in
spection at any time; if it is not white and
furred, il is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of
order and Diarrhea or Constipation may be
a symptom or the two may alternate There
are often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood.
There may be giddiness and often headache
and acidity or tiatulence and tenderness in
the pit OF the stomach. To correct all this
if not effect cure try Green's August
Flower, it cost but trife and thousands
attest Its efficacy. 2.

The Music of the Anciants

The L yptian flute was only a cows
horn with three or four holes in it, and.
their harp or Tyre had only three strings; :.
the Grccian Tyre had only seven strings
and was very small, being held in one
hand; the Jewish trumpets that made,
the walls of J.richo fall down, were
only rams horns; their flute was the
same as the Egyptian; they had no in
strumental music but by percussion, of
which the greatest boast made was the.
psaltery, small triangular harp or Tyre
with wire strings, and struck with an
iron needle or stick; their sacbut was
something like bagpipc; the timbrel
was tambourine, and tho dulcimer
was a horizontal harp, with wire
strings, and struck with stick like the
psaltery. They had no written music;
had scarcely vowel in their language,
and yet. according to Joscphu', they
had 200, 900 musicians playing at tho
dedication of the T,mplo OF Solomon.

Heaven and Eartb.

There are no Shadows where there is no.
Sum-
There is no beauty where there is no.
Shade;
And all things in two lines of glory run,
Darkness and light, ebon and gold inaid.
God comes among us through the shrouds of
air;
And his dim track is like the silvery wake
Left by yon pnnace on the mountain lake,
Fading and reappearing here and there
The lamps and wells through hsav'n and
earth that move,
Go in and out, as jealous OF their light,
Like sailing stars upon misty night.
Death is the shade of coming life: and Love
Yearns for her dear ones in the holy tomb,
Because bright things are better seen ins
gloom!

The ordinary shotgun, however per-
feet it may be, is altogether too tam
and Ineffective weapon for the pro-
fessional Potomac duck hunter, say.
the Washington Post. He must have
something that mows down tho game
like a machine. H, generally uses
what he calls "big gun" tho barrel
of which is from 10 to Is feet long,
and which carries a pound and q hall
of shot and a half-pound of powder.
This engine of destr uctio1 is placed on
a sort of pivot or rest il the bow of q
boat or skiff, with the muzz,e extend
ing overheard and tho butt resting
against packing OF rags or something
similar in tho bottom of the craft.
The man who uses it lies down flat
in the bottom and approaches the ducks
on the water by means of what is called
Creeping paddle" which is very
short and which is work cd by one hand
stretched over the side of the boat
When a point has been reached suffi.
GENTLY near the ducks, somo movement
is made to frlghten tn IN, and as they
rise in great futtering black clouds the
"big gun" is fred into their midst,
sometimes killing many dozen.
The rebound of these guns is so great
that they sometimes throw tn, skifl
back 40 feet, and even sometimes sink
it. Tho force of the rebound is caught
by the packing in tho bottom of the
boat, and, as may be imagined, not
against tho shoulder of tn, man who
fires it. Another device of similar
character, practiccd by Potomac mar.
ket hunters, is to arrange from seven tc
10 old mu'ket barrels ON the edge of q
boat and havo the triggers of all Of
them connected by a stri: G. which
when pulled explodes the entire set. In
this way as many as 200 ducks have
been killed at one fire, many of them
canvas backs.

The Lions Mode of Fighting.

Lions, as rue, hunt in family par.
ties. A very old lion not infre quently
incapacitated from taking an active
part in pursuing game, is generally to
be found at the head of such coterie,
and on him devolves no unimportant
part of the program.

are made fast when a train halts for

lionesses plac, themselves behind what
available cover i, found. This being
done, the old lion goes to wind ward OF
the encampmcnt and shakes out his
abundant name in the brecz,, so that
the odor from it may be carried down
to the excited draught animals.
One sniff of the tainted breeze brings
every OK to hi, feet in moment; then
standing, often trembling with fear,
they gaze with dilated eyes iato tho i'm
penetrable darkness. Closer and closer
approaches the aged lion to his victims,
shaking and reshaking the dense, tawny
covering of his fore quarters.
Then, if the traveller harness be not
strong, he may look out for stampede.
Should it hold temporarily, the agrees.
