always the little things that worry man
in this world, and wear him out and bring
him down to fill an early grave. If on

another little item that gets his !" hair
Off" It's always the small matters that
cause the trouble, a flag end of a cigarette
burned down Chicago; little stream of
water half an inch wide, washed away the
dam of COnemaugh and lost thousands of
lives, at the JOhnstown disaster. So it is
with disease, it begins in a small way and
gradually extends its rami6cati0ns until
it is complete master of the situation, and
then it is, probably, too late to do any
good. The way to allay disease is to at
tack it in its initial stages; when sickness
is coming on it always gives ample warn

none the less Important; approaching dis

ent people get different symptoms, one
gets headache, another neuralgia, third
1assitude, fourth loss of appetite, and so
on. Any constitutional disturbance must
tell you that the processes of life are not
properly progressing, that some part of
the human machinery is disOTganized and
if you neglect this irregularity. chronic
disease will positively result. Hundreds
of people are hurried into untimely graves
through neglect of the first symptoms. We
want you to know that CLEMENTS Tonic is
the article that will arrest the progress of
disease of all kinds if taken at the onset.
CLEMENTS Tonic is an article that has
never yet and never will fail to regulate all
the processes of animal life. it aids perspi-
ration and respiration. secretion digestion,
assimilation, elimination and excretion;
it stimulates the liver and cleanses the con-
gested h@patic glands and ducts and renal
passages of all morbid and impure accumu.
lations. CLEMENTS Tonic invigorates the
stomach and regulates the bowels and
braces up the whole corporal structure. It
prevents fever, malaria and ague. It pre-
vents the relaxation and depression so pre-
valent in the hot weather, enriches the
blood, restores all lost nerve power, and
gives tone to the system. CLEMENTS Tonic
will do all this and more, it will save life,
and the evidence which we have received
from its influential patrons and the eulo-
CYSTIC press notices, are sufficient to prove
the above statements even to the most

WHEN POLLY GOES BY.

sTls but poorly I'm lodged in little side-strect,
Which is seldom disturbed by the hurry of feet,
For the food-tide OF life long ago ebbed away
From its homely old houses, rain-beate and
gray;
And sit with my pipe in the window and sigh
At the buffets of fortune-till Polly goes by,
There's Haunting Of ribbons, furry Of lace,
And rose in the bonnet above bright face,
glance from two eyes so deliciously blue
The midsummer seas scarcely rival their hue:
And once in awhile, If the winds blowing high,
The sound of soft laughter as Polly goes by.
Then up jumps my heart and begins to beat
fast
"she's comingr' it whispers. 'She's here. She
has passed!s
While throw up the sash and lean breathlessly
down
To catch the last glimpse of her vanishing gown,
Excited, delighted, yet wondering why
My senses desert me If Polly goes by.
Ali she must be a witch, and the magical spell
She has woven about me has done it's work well,
For the morning grows brighter, and gayer the
air
That my landlady sings as she sweeps down the
stair,
And my poor lonely garret, up close to the sky,
Seems something like Heaven when Polly goes
by. Century,

Northern form, it was protected by a
thick coat of reddish hair and wool.
Over twenty thousand of these mon
sters have been taken in historic times,
mostly from the shores of Siberia and
the New Siberian Islands, which were
evidently a famous grazing place for
them. A number of specimens have
been preserved by the ice so perfectly
that when the body was weathered out
it was devoured by bears and wolves
and the eyes and brain taken out and
preserved by naturalists. The tissues
of the brain were SO perfect that they
could not be distinguished from those
of living forms. One perfect specimen
has been examined within fifty years.
1t was found by German surveyor in
the North country and was washed out
of frozen morass. The animal was
standing erect in the soft bog, showing
that it had been mired and finally
frozen and covered in this position. =

STRANGE wLL-MAKlNe.
A Striking Scene ia Fiction ParaIleled in
Real Life.


A Striking Scene in Fiction Paralleled in
Real Life.
One of the most striking scenes in
fiction is that wherein the paralytic in
Monte Cristo" makes legal disposi-
tion of his property by the movement
of his eyes. In blue book recently
published concerning the deaf and
dumb, there is an account of the max
ing of will by a lady who, having
been stone deaf all her life became,
when sixty years old, blind also. which
is quite as strange reading. The place
was a country town, Ludlow in Shrop-
shire, and the mayor, the rector and
the chief medical men were present. to
witness that every thing was done
above-board and without collusion.
"A copy of the will lay before the
deaf blind lady and myself, and an.
other copy was before the gentleman
sitting in the seat corresponding with
your lordships. / began spelling on
her hand with perfect silence one SEN
tence. She turned to the lady on her
right and spelt on both her hands the
sentence that had just repeated to
her. That lady, having nothing before
her, repeated aloud what presumably
1 had said to the blind lady and what
certainly the blind lady had said to
her, and the official gentlemen at the
other end saw that they were actually
the very words in the will before them.
So it went on. She stopped me in one
place and said not thousand hun
dred, showing that she knew the value
Of numerals; and she willed away the
whole of her property with perfect
accuracy. She left portion of it, and
a very substantial portion Of it, to the
very persons who had desired to keep
it from her and they were her blood
relations. She left one hundred pounds
to the institution whose head master
helped her to make such will. That
was the last time that saw her. The
will was contested by the relations
When it came to be tested, they said
nobody in such . condition as that
could make will. We fought the bat
tie in the Probate Court at Westminster
and won. The will was proved May ;,
1861"
It would be interesting to learn
whether the incident in Monte Cristo'
suggested to her medical adviser the
possibility of this lady making will.
The usual practice Of accusing the
novelist of plagiarism can hardly be
INDUCED ip ia this case,~R 7. Inds'

Connection Between Solar Disturbance
and Atmospheric Phenomena.

Connection Between Solar Disturbances
and Atmospheric Phenomena.
Prof. Balfour Stewart, of England,
and other scientists have long been Of
the opinion that the periodic disturb
ances on the sun, called sun-spots, have
a physical or magnetic connection with
the storms on earth. The coincidence
between the solar disturbances and the
terrific storms of the past summer, to
go no further back, is striking, and to
scientists almost forces the conclusion
of physical connection. On the fif-
teenth of March d certain sun spot
showed intense action, and at that time
the great Samoan hurricane occurred,
wrecking the war-ships of the United
States and Germany in the harbor OF
Apia. On the twenty ninth and thir-
tieth of May the solar disturbance re-
appeared. and another series of storms
was reported by telegraph from all
quarters of the globe. brought most
viVidly to our recognition by the cloud
burst in the mountains above Johns
town, pennsylvania, which swept away
the South Fork Dam. and deluged the
valley of the Conen augh, destroying
from eight thousand to ten thousand
lives. On the second of June a water
spout flooded the districts of Chan
Ping aud Ping-Yuen, China, drowning
six thousand people. A cyclone swept
the coast of New Jersey and Long
Island during the second week in Sep
tember. when the revolution of the sun
brought about another period Of dis
turbance. A spot of medium size was
then passing over the face of the sun,
which had, when near the edge of the
sun, very pronounced faculg. The inn
preston of some scientific men is that
while sun-spots are connected with
storms, the facuLg are accompanied
with increase of electricity; but only
continued observations can correct or
confirm such impressions, II Demorest's
