DR.. Shafer, one of the physicians of the

Mr.. G. v. Pulpress, of No. 46 Liberty street,
Allegheny, had for a long time suffered from
weak, tired feeling no ambition. pain across
the small of his back and palptation Of the
heart. His complexion was very sallow, and as
the diseased condition of his kidneys from
which he suffered further progressed, his stom-
ach became involved. He had bloating. belch-
ing of gas and distress after eating. He lost
flesh, his memory became poor and his mind
became SO affected that he could neither read or
think, and was in constant fear of becoming in
sane. He often felt dizzy, so that everything
seemed to be in whirl. and he became so
nervous as to entirely unfit him for any busi-
ness. Having read in the papers that the
physicians of the Polypathic Medical Institute
make speciality of kidney and urinary diseases
he began treatment with them. His own words
state the result: This is to certify that have
been cured by the physicians of the Polypathic

OBSERVATIONS ON WHIST.
a Few Remarks sbswlng How vaiuabis

a Few Remarks showing How Valuable
the Play Of the Fourth Beat Il.
There can be no question but what the
play OF the fourth best 10 one Of the most val
uable plays in the game OF whist well re-
member the first article which Mr.. Trist
(%ao originated the play, or rather who frst
strongly advocated III wrote on the subject
some years ago, and the storm IL raised in
whist circles. There Is q certain class OF
whist players-and they are, alasi too nu-
merous-who are conservative to the pitch
OF being unbearable. To change in any way
the good old methods Of playing the game
TO introduce anything new, Is looked upon
with holy horror by these players Mr..
Trist's innovation was greeted BY this class
with hisses This was especially the case In
England until Cavendish took the matter I'D
and adopted the play.
Tho fourth hest card may not innptly be
compared 10 the mark which indicates the
rise and fall OF the tide. BY observing the
mark you can tell, II you compare it with the
water level, just how high the tide is-just
how much water there Is In the bay. So
when Your partner plays his fourth best and
afterward plays another card Of the same
suit, you can tell what cards his suit contains
For instance, suppose you partner plays 3 s,
second hand plays s, you have a, q, 8 and
play q, and fourth hand plays s., you
know at once that your partner has three
spades better than the Sand that he only held
four originally because his fourth best was
the and the was played on the first round
You rapidly deduct from the whole suit Of
spades the cards which have been played and
those held by yourself, and then when you
have considered the play of your opponents
ON your partners lead, you can tell pretty
well Just what cards of the suit your partner

the distractions of unsmooth love cur
rents are the reason for this. Nearly all
marriages are love matches, and in con-
sequence happy ones.
The Costa Rica women, like their
northern sisters, are given to gossip.
But it is never an unkindly sort. 1t can
not be called scandal, nor are there any
scandal mongers. Even though they
may relate the questionable deeds of any
one they seldom venture to criticise. 1t
would seem as If they remembered the
biblical injunction to "judge not"
There seems to be an utter lack of bit
terness, the tongue venom which makes
itself so felt in the north under similar
conditions.
Among the lower classes there is a cer-
tain kind of rugged beauty. The de-
classces are, some of them, very pretty
even when spoiled with paint and pow
der. The criadas, or house servants, are
more frequently than not married wo-
men or widows with one or two little chill
dren. A good cook nearly always has
her baby playing on the stone floor of
the kitchen where she is at work. 1t is
as natural as that good milk cow
should have her little calf close at her
heels Such a woman is more to be re-
lied on than young girl. The girls Of
the peon class are as disinclined to work
and as eager to play the fine lady in
panolon and gewgaw spangles as the

Dom Pedro will be succeeded by his
daughter, Isabelle, who has for some
time been regent, 80 that the emperor'a
death, 30 far as the actual working Of
the empire is concerned, would make
but slight difference. She has been,
since 1864, married to Prince CASTOR, oi
Orleans, tho Comte 'Eu, who will there
fore be for Brazil a kind OF imperial
prince consort. There IRE by this mar.
riago three children. 1t seems likely
that Comic d'Eu may have an elephant
on his hands when the good old EN-.
peror dies and the republican party
begins to do something besides
showing its teeth. The emperor
is Of tho house of Braganza. and his
career has often been compared with
King Louis, OF Portugal, who Is Of the
same royal house. Both abolished slav.
cry and both have been known Tor tbeir
clemency.
King Louis succeeded to the throne oi
Portugal on the death Of his brother.
He will in turn be succeeded by the
Prince Royal Charles, who on the 2ad
of May, 1886, was married to the Princess
Amelie, the daughter of the Comte de
Paris, who is the father OF Princess Isa-
belle, of Brazil. Thus 1t will be seen that
Dom Pedros death will have stimulat.
ing effect on the house Of Orleans, which
will be advanced ono step further In Its
rulership Of Latin thrones. But what
will happen in Brazil remains 10 be seen.

greatest act-the emancipation Of slaves
in 1871.
The planters Of Brazil form n large
and powerful part of the people. When
they were deprived Of their slaves they
did not yield without protest. This is
undoubtedly where the republican party
Of Brazil had its origin. The planters re.
fused alliance 10 a man TO the dynasty
which took away from them the power to
do as they pleased with the bodies Of their
slaves. This element, together with the
liberalists by principle, has, strangely
enough, consolidated SO that there is to.

THE SITUATION IN BRAZIL.
Recent Attempt on Dom Pedro's Iifs
What Troubles His Death May Cause.
MARIA fETRAvsKY

Recent Attempt on Dom Pedro's Life.
What Troubles His Death May Cause.
The recent attempted assassination OF
Dom Pedro, emperor Of Brazil, calls at
tention to the fact that thece is likely to
be trouble in tho Brazilian empire on the
death Of its ruler. From all tho accounts
which have been received it would seem
that the attempt on the emperor's life is
in itself an act which indicates but little.
The assassin was a young man, who, it
is alleged, was under the influence OF
absinthe when he fired the shot; at any
rate he appears to be a weak character,
who, If not permanently insane, seems
to have been laboring under temporary
alteration of intellect on the night Of
the emperor's narrow escape.

Robert,

There is st. Bernard in England which
never has been benched that 5000 has been
refused for. This dog, which rejoices in the
homely name of Robert, is located down
Cornwall way, and had il not been for the
death OF its owner, Mr.. James, nothing
would have probably been heard about the
dog, which the deceased gentleman positively
refused to exhibit. Furthermore it is stated
that the dog is not for sale at any price, and
st. Bernard exhibitors are warned OF the
fact.
