Are We 70 Have Another WAR;

Some political prophets aver that we
shall. Be that as it may, the battle way
ed by medical science against disease will
never cease until we arrive at that utopi-
an epoch when the human family shall
cease to be afflicted with bodily ailments.
One of the most potent weapons which
the armory of medicine furnishes, is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which is of spe-
cial utility as family remedy, as it is
adapted TO the immediate relief aud ul-
innate cure of those disorders of the stom-
ach, liver aud bowels which are of CON-
monest occurrence. Indigestion, bilious
ness and.constipatiOn are inseparable COM
panions, and these ailments are complete
ly eradicated by the Bitters. But the
remedial scope of this superlatively
wholesome and genial medicine takes in
also nervous ailments, rh, nmatism aud
kidney troubles; its action in these, as in
the other complaints, being characterized
by unequalled thoroughness

The Editor of the LEADER Is Indebted
to Mr.. E. S. Barns for a delightful ride
around town last Saturday behind his
fine Morgan thoroughbred, Jere Junior.
Jere is fine traveller, perfectly gentle,
and can make a buggy hum. A eonsid-
cradle number of private improvements
were noted while making the round,
which we were glad to see, and which
evidence the fact that while BroOkhaven
cannot boast of boom, she is slowly and
steadily climbing tho hill of progress. MFR.
Fred. Sherman's new residence on Jack
son street, now nearing completion, is an
ornament to the town. Mr. Hartman,
Major Sessions and Tom Perkins have
lately been adding to and Identifying
their cottage property. and at numerous
other places new paiut, new roofs and
new fencing were observed. The new
Catholic church, which is nearing CON-
pletion, was also noted, and presents an
imposing appearance with its lofty steeple.

Food and Drink.

A British officer who used to amuse
himself by visiting the bazars of Bonn
bay in the dress Of a native, once made
the acquaintance of an old HindOO who
had travelled both in Europe and North
America
Glow do you like their big cities q"
asked the turbaned Englishman.
you never saw such fine buildings, &"
said the HindOo; "and it's pity they
should have such tenants, for those
Christians are surely not more than
half civilized"
They kill their COWS, don't they"
Eyes; and more than that, said the
wOrshiper of Brahma, "their teachers
preach against the sin of wrong drink
ing, and never say a word about wrong
eating"
Those teachers might reply that al
cOhOl Is responsible for countless crimes,
and for at least nine-tenths of our nu-
merOus digestive disorders, but it is not
less certain that the remaining tenth
comprises some very troublesome and
yet very avoidable complaints.
In the countries of the Caucasian
nations nearly all persons who can
financially afford it, eat, in the course
Of their lives, tons of things which
they cannot properly digest; and yet
QYereating is not the chief trouble. Il
is very much as with excessive drink
ing. If we would regulate the quail
ity, the quantity would take care Of
itself. People are not apt to commit
nightly havoc for the sake Of cistern
water. Nor do lager beer drinkers
swallow bottle after bottle to quench
their thirst. They do not drink beer
for the sake of its nutritive properties.
They use it for its stimulating quail
ties, and for similar purposes nine out
ten gluttons stuff themselves with
strong meats and peppered made
dishes. They gorge themselves to ex-
cite the jaded digestive organs with
tonic viands, just as the topper excites
the torpid energies of the system with
tonic fluids. There may be persons
who ruin themselves by an undue fond
ness for water and bread, but they are
as rare as outdoor workers injured by
an overdose of fresh air. Potatoes and
milk do not fill gluttOns' graves. As a
rule, natural appetites have natural
limits, and under anything like natural
circumstances can be safely INDUCED.

Dr. For &c 60.

An elegantly dressed woman Of mid
die age, whose face bore traces Of great
beauty, entered one of the largest drug
stores in Brooklyn, and walking rapidly
to the rear Of the store, where one of
the prOpEietOFs was busy mixing pre-
scriptions, handed him a slip of paper.
Before she had reached him the pr0pri-
etOr had seen her coming, and, stop
ping his work, had reached almost me-
chemically for a large bottle which
stood on shelf behind him, and which
was filed with some white substance.
As he took the slip of paper, which was
evidently a prescription, he simply
glanced at it and proceeded to weigh
out a certain portion of the contents Of
the bottle, which he wrapped up and
handed to the lady. When she was
gone a reporter, who had been standing
by, asked the proprietor what 1t was he
had given her.
Bromide of potassium, was the Ia
comic reply.
What is it used fOr?" was then
asked
Nerves" replied the proprietor.
You have no idea, young man, he
continued, chow much we sell of that
and kindred hypnOtics every day. It
is simply awful. No one outside of
this business and the medical profess
sion has any idea of the number of ed
ucated, well-tO-dO people who use
bromide of potassium, bromide of sodi-
UNI and choral every night to induce
sleep. Morphine and opium are per
haps not used as much as they were,
for the law is that none shall be sold
by druggists unless on prescription.
We have regular customers, though,
for opium, who obtain prescriptions
for the deadly drug in some way. One
man comes here every. second day for
his regular allowance. He is poor
man, too, and I asked him the other
night what he would do if he should
finally find himself in a position where
he had no money to buy what to him is
the staff of life. 'DOY he exclaimed,
with a look of despair. God only
knows what I should do. Kill myself,
1 suppose"
Glow did that man get into the
habit ?"
He was severely injured and taken
to the hospital. While there his severe
parOxysms of pain were relieved by
morphine. When he was discharged as
cOnvalescent at intervals he had recur-
ring spells Of this pain, and naturally
he turned to the same drug for relief
1t is quite impossible for him to break
off the habit, for he cannot work unless
he has his usual dose, and he is de-
pendent upon his trade for a livelf
hood"

Rritons in Hong Kong.

I am surprised at the fine houses
these Englishmen have in the East.
Here in Hong Kong you viii find man
siOns that would be good homes for a
New York millionaire, and in every for
eign colony which we have visited we
have found establishments which in all
their appointments would do credit to
Washington. The life of the people is
q luxurious one, and the foreigners we
have met are more comfortable than
they could well be at home The Chi
nese make good servants, andgthey are
so cheap that one can have three here
for the price of one in America. The
servants take the whole charge of the
house on their hands. They arrange
the bills of fare for all the dinners.
whether they be for only the family or
for party of hundred, and their cook
ing is equal to that of a French chef.
Some of the best dinners I have ever
had have been those given me by bach
elOrs here IN the East, and in this I do
not except the noted cafes of Paris.
London and New York. These Chi
nese servants dress, of course. in Chinese
clothes, and our walters at the hotels
and our servants on the ships wear pig
tails, caps and gowns. They have
learned the philosophy of feeling, and
the word "cumshaw" has the same cur
rency here as "backsheesh" in Egypt or
-pOurbOir" in France. The English
used by the Chinese is an almost en-
tlrely different language from ours, and
1t has to be learned, in order to manage
the servants.-FTG9lb @. Carpenter.

How a Medieval Monarch Went to Bed

First, a page took a torch and went
to the wardrobe where the bedding was
kept. The articles were brought out
by the keeper to four yeomen, who
made the bed, while the page held the
torch at the foot. One of the yeOmen
searched the straw with his dagger,
and when he found there was no evil
thing hidden there he laid a bed of
down on the straw and threw himself
upon it. Then the bed of down was
well beaten and a bolster laid in its
proper place. Then the sheets were
spread IN due order, and over these
was laid fustian. Then came a pane
sheet, which we now call counter
pane. Finally the sheets were turned
down and some pillows laid on the boil
ster, after which the yeOmen made a
cross and kissed the bed where their
hands were. And then an angel carved
IN wood was placed beside the bed and
the curtains let down After this a
gentleman usher brought the kings
sword and placed it at the beds head,
and the whole was then delivered into
the custody Of groom or page, who
watched 1t with light burning until
the king retired to rest.-PGge8 of His

Advertising Stamns-

A firm Of great genius has offered
the British Government an immense
sum for the use of the national post
age-stamp for advertising purposes.
The advertisement Is to be printed on
the back of the stamp before the gum

cry stamp must see the announcement
before he moistens the gum. This is
