Make very small hole in each end of a
fresh egg aud after blowing out the
contents, close one eud with bit Of
sealing wax. Gut two pieces of cloth in
the shape of the body of fish, and
sew them together on the edges so as
to make pointed bag. Put some
sand into this for ballast. Tho
mouth of the bag must BE- exactly
the size Of the egg, which is to fastened
into it with sealing wax or glue, TO
form the head of the fish. Having pre-.
pared it in this way, paint two eyes
on the egg with black paint, and the
magic fish is ready to be put iuto a
jar of water. The weight of the sand in
the bag must be such that the fish will
float on the surface il left to itself but
80 that very light touch will cause it
to sink. Cover the jar tightly with a
piece of india rubber, or any other
water proof flexible substance, when a
hand is laid on the covering the pres
sure transmitted to the liquid will
cause little water to enter the egg,
and the fish will dive; the heavier the
pressure the more quickly it will plunge.
Remove the pressure from the india rub
Der and the compressed air in the egg
will force it out of the water and the
fish will come to the surface again.

Weak Women,

The more sensitive nature of the fe
male sex rend ers women much more
susceptible than men to those numer-
Gus ills which spring from lack of har-
mony in the system. The nervous
system gives way, sick headache is
frequent, the appetite is lost, aud otn-
er ailments peculiar to the sex cause
great suffering Hoods Sarsaparilla
is peculiarly adapted for such cases,
and has received the most gratifying
praise for the relief it has afforded
thousands of women whose very exist
ence before taking it, was only misery.
1t strengthens the nerves, cures sick
headache and indigestion, puriies and
vitalizes the blood, and gives regular
and healthy action to every organ in

Capital Pun shment Abolished.


The present Board of Parlons hes
practically abolished capital punish
ment in Pennsylvania. 1t has made a
startling record in reversing the laws
and the judicial tribunals Of the State,
and this week ii r, ached the climax by
setting aside two judgments of the
only proper authority in the admins
tration of the law, by which the death
penalty was solemnly decreed against
murderers.
When Samuel johnson could b. res
cned from the death penalty, after his
conviction had been adiudged by every
judicial tribunal of the State, il would
be simply mockery Of justice TO exc
cute any of the dozen or so of condem-
ned murderers in our prisons. There
was not Juror or Judge of either
the Oyer and Termiuer or Supreme
Court that heard the ease and decided
it under the sanctity Of an oath, who
ever doubted the correctness of John
sons conviction but an old political
ieud of Delaware county Inspired the
effort to degrade the administration of
Justice The effort once started, with
a large conscientious sentiment in the
community against capital punishment
that embraced the immediate friends
and family of the man who was the
victim OF the cowardly murderer, it
was encouraged to summon every
grade of crime to defeat the punish
ment of crime, and it has succeeded.
The apology of the Board is that
while doubling the innocence its mem
hers also doubted the guilt of Johnson
Pray, who authorized or empowered
them 10 inquire into the guilt or inno-
cence of Johnson7 Had there been
new testimony in the case not passed
upon by judicial tribunsl, the apollo
gy of the Board would have been ex-
cusable if not reasonable but the only
evidence that bad not pershed in alb
solute disgrace before it reached a
Court, had been passed upon by a
Delaware county grand jury, and aft
er hearing only one side of it, the bill
was ignored, thereby declaring that
the evidence of the prosecution against
the Fernwood gang did not even furn-
ish probable cause for further judicial
inquiry. There was, therefore, no
after-acquired evidence for the Board
of Pardons to consider, and the as
sumption of the right to open and re-
verse the solemn judgments of all the
legal tribunals of the State, was a vic.
lent assumption of authority and a
grotesque burlesque of both law an
justice.
With johnson rescued from the
judgment of the law, there was emmi-
nent fitness in committing the death
penalty in the case of Mrs. Burrows,
now in Moyamensing for the murder
of her husband, and a like commuta-
tion in the case of Mrs. Wbiteling will
logically follow. The same Board
having been hung in effigy in Juniata
county for saving a wife-murderer
from the gallows, it must give wives
an even chance to murder their hus-
bands; and that leads t, the only log

what n contradiction that is, TO say
first that they have the power of obo-
dience by becoming responsible for
the government of their children, and
then to say that they are to be under
obedience, and he allows the man to
slip clear when he has all the power TO
make laws, &c. He quotes DIR. Tai
mage on one point as though DIR. Tai
mage was in sympathy with him, but
he is very careful to let DR.. Talmage
alone on the amendment question. II
DIR. Talmage knew how this preacher
stood, he would not allow his name to
go in print in connection with his.
Any man refusing 10 attend church
because prohibition is preached likes
his bitters better than God, aud you
are in the came boat together, occupy
ing holier places than your hearts per-
nit, and you are after the dollar in
stead of the good of mankind. He
says man can be christian whether
he makes it, uses it or sells it. On
this theory l suppose you frequent bar
rooms, and associate with drinkers, If
all done this what would become of
Christianity, and how much more pop
ular drinking would be. Do you see
where It would end, and on the same
theory there will be distillers, saloon
keepers, and drunkards in the King
dom above. l do not blame you for
thinking so, as it is your only saliva
ton. What nice time it will be up
there, about the same as we have it
here. People are foolish to expend
money to pay preachers to convert the
world, if it is not to be changed any.
He says there are sins ten times great
Ell than drunkenness of which nothing
is said in the pulpit. This is bare
falsehood, just name me one of those
sins if you please. When you repeat
the Lords prayer again, please bear in
mind where it says,,,"thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven" We, as
Americans who can boast of our liber
tS and not free whiskey, do not desire
Irish preachers who we're raised under
free whiskey, and no liberty, to dictate
to us about whiskey and liberty. But
you can not expect anything else from
| that source.
1st Peter 46 Yet if any man
suffer as christian let him not be
ashamed, but let him glorify God on
| this behalf
Take heed therefore when you

Department of the Interior, Census Ofic

WASHINGTON, d. 9.
To the Medical Profession
The various medical associations
and the medical profession will be glad
to learn that DR.. JOHN S. BILLINGS,
Surgeon U. S. Army, has consented to
take charge of the Report on the Nor
tally and Vital Statistics OF the Unit
ed States as returned by the Eleventh
Census.
As the United States has no system
of registration of vital statistics. such
as is relied upon by other civilized ma
tions for the purpose of ascertainlng
the actual movement of population,
our census affords the only opportuni-
ty of obtaining near an approximate
estimate of the birth aud death rates
of much the larger part oil The eoun
try, which is entirely unprovided with
any satisfactory system Of State and
municipal registration.
In view of this, the Census Office,
during the month of May this year,
will issue to the medical profession
throughout the country "Pnysician's
Registers" for the purpose of obtain
| ing more accurate returns of deaths
than it is possible for the enumerators
to make. 1t is earnestly hoped that
| physicians in every part of the coun-
try will cooperate with the Census Of
| fee in this important work. The re-
cord should be kept from June l,
1889, to May 81, 1890 Nearly &c.
600 of these registration books were
filled up and returned to the Office in
1880, and nearly all of them used for sta
tistical purposes. 1t is hoped that
double this number will be obtained
for the Eleventh Census.
Physicians not receiving Registers
can obtain them by sending their
names and addresses TO the Census
Office, and, with the Register, an Of
fetal envelope which requires no stamp
will be provided for their return TO
Washington.
If all medical and surgical practition-
ers throughout the country will lend
their aid, the mortality and vital sta
tistics of the Eleventh Census will be-
more comprehensive and complete
than they have ever been. Every ply
sician should take p rsonal pride in
having this report as iull and accurate
as it is possible to make it.
1t is hereby promised that all infor
nation obtained through this source
shall be held strictly confidential.

Superintendent of Census.

That Tired Feeling

Season is here again, and nearly every
one feels weak, languid, and exhaust
ed. The blood. laden with impurities
which have been accumulating for
months, moves suggishly through the
veins, the mind fails to think quickly
and the body is still slower to respond
Hoods Sarsaparilla is just what is
needed. 1t purifes, vitalizes, and en-
riches the blood, makes the head clear
creates an appetite, overcomes that tir,
ed feeling, and imparts new strength
and vigor to the whole body.

The Pennsylvania Railroads Facilities to

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com.
rany's facilities for reaching Atlantic
Guy were never SO complete as they
are on the opening of the present sea
son. During the past winter and
spring the road-bed of both the West
Jersey and Camden and Atlantic has
been greatly improved. The West
Jersey has been bettered in various
ways ard reballasted the track If the
Camden and Atlantic has been rem, w
ed on many portions of the line and
track-tanks have been added for the
use of fast trains. Tho equipment,
both in | comotives and cars, is super
'or in every respect, and will be ample
for the comfortable conveyance Of the
largest mi Isummer crowd.
The terminal facilities of both ends
of the line possess the advantage Of
superior location. The Market Street
station in Philadelphia, from which
the fast trains of both the West Jer-
sey and Camden and Atlantic rail.
roads start, is the central seash ire sta
tion of the city, accessible from al
sections by direct lines of street-cars,
and within fifteen minutes of Broad
Street station by tie Market Street
cable cars. In addition TO the central
station at Market Street, there is also a
ferry tr nj Vine Sire aud a boat run
ming from Vine and Shackamaxon
Streets direct to the Camden side OF
the Market Street ferry.
AT Atlantic City the passengers are
landed in the heart of The city, AZ
point from which every part of the
city and suburbs are ea-iy reached by
the III W electric railway.
The special excursion travel is deliv-
cred at the large and handsome new
excursion house, the Sea View Ho,el,
which is just completed. This is the
most commodious and best appointed
house of the class on the coast, and
offers every facility that the day ex-
cursionists could demand.
With all their facilities improved
and strengthened, with ample eqlip-
ment and fast trains, the Pennsylvania
Ra lroad Company's branches 10 At

him to keep stock four years ahead.

A new counterfeit dollar made of
brass with thin coating of silver
electro plate, has made its appearance.
The spurious coin is a good imitation.
1t rings much like the genuine one,
only little sharper. 1t has the ap.
pearance of having been carried in
countless pockets, and the stars and
figure of Liberty look worn, but the
date, "l86l,' is sharply cut and fails
to carry out'this impression. The de-
pressed portion of the two sides are
off color, looking blue beside a genu-
inc coin. Inferior half and quarter
dollars were discovered in circulation
in Chicago recently. They are light
weight, do not ring, have dull, leaden
color, and ought not to deceive any
one.
