A Multitude of Ailments.

The ailments which afllict the kidneys and
bladder are so numerous, that merely to name
them would fill space far outrunning the lin
its of this article. Suffice it to say, that they are
both obstinate and dangerous. To theirpreven-
ton Hostetters stomach Bitters is well adapted.
The stimulus which it lends to the action OF the
kidneys when they are lethargic, serve to coun-
teract tendency in them to lapse, first, into a
state of pernicious inactivity, and afterwards
DESTROYS their delicate integuments, poisons the
blood and causes death. A double purpose Is
served by this depurent. 1t promotes activity
of the kidneys and expes impurities from the
blood which have no natural channel of outlet,
except these organs. Constipation, biliousness,
fever and ague, rheumatism and dyspepsia, are
also remedied by this medicine of thorough ac-
ton and wide scope.

Buried Alive.

An instance of buried alive Is reported
from Syracuse. For one such case which,
through extraordinary circumstances,
s-.nas to light, it 10 only reasonable to
assume that there are many known only
to the all seeing eye and hidden from all
human ken in the depths of an unvio-
lated grave. Rare as are these evidences
of a second death, a thousand times more
terrible than the first, they are sufficient
to engender the earnest hope that some
means shall be reached whereby burial
before death shall be impossible Either
some enactment whereby it would be-
come penal offense to inter a body that
did not betray certain unmistakable evil
dence of absolute death, or some applica-
ton of electrical appliance to the coffin
and its contents
There are no mechanical difficulties in
the way to prevent electrical commune
cation between every recently buried
body and the office or residence OF the
cemetery official or Waterman. Nor is
it impossible to construct an electrical
appliance of such delicacy that the
slightest movement in the coffin would
sound an alarm that would lead to avert
ing the worst fate which can possibly
befall man born of women, or woman OF
children beloved of man. Electricity has
long been made to summon men to the
distant room of great hotel when a fire
is in it's first stages Surely it is possible
| for the same subtle servitor to tell of the
| frantic movements of the wretched NOR
| tal entombed ere the vital spark of life
| has departed?-Pittsburg Bulletin.

THE BABY's sNEEzE.

Thunders may rattle at midnight
Like muskets of hostile foe,
Or moan down the distant valley
AS the clouds retreating go
Billiards. may shrek in the cedars,
And gnaw at their steadfast roots;
Alarm bells clang through the silence
In time with the horn that toots,
Every force that is potent
And vocal with cumbrous sound,
May seek to rally the sleeper
Who dreams on enchanted ground.
Yet al must yield to rival,
And giants so down on their knees;
The force that marches as victor
Is only baby's sneezel
