Natnre,s True Tonic.

One of the advantages of light gymnastics
is that the sick and convalescent can make
what appear to be trifing efforts, and by
them, in time, be restored to active health.
If too feeble to be practically able to make
but little exertion, try what are known as
deep-breathing movements. Lie flat upon
the back, take rs long and as deep breaths
as possible, and while the mouth is closed
slowly throw the arms up in front and then
at the sides. Rest for ten minutes. Try
again the same inhalation and exhalation
OF air. the latter being pure and fresh.
After while attempt the same, sitting up.
These exercises can safely be taken by the
sick one every day, several times, and the
whole muscular system will be improved,
just as if some revivlfylng tonic had been
given, far better one than any charged
with alcohol or some like stimulant.

Cobbler Sprague,s Frugal Wife.

A Wilmington, Del, dispatch to the Phila-
delphia Record says: Ten thousand dollars in
gold and greenbacks has been found secreted
in an old table in the residence of John
Sprague, a shoemaker at 721 West I'd street, in
this city. The money represents his deceased
wife's savings for thirty-nine years. On Janu-
airy ~ last Mrs. Mary Sprague, wife Of the cob
bier, dropped dead, q victim Of heart disease,
in drug store. The couple came to Wilmington
from England thirty years ago. The hus-
band Is about sixty years of age, while the wife
was nearly tifty-nine years old when she died.
They were frugal and industrious, and during
their thirty-nine years of married life the hus-
band weekly gave the wife certain sum of
money for her use He never questioned what
she did with the surplus, but supposed it was
regularly put in bank.
When Mrs. Sprague died search was made
for the bank book supposed to exist, but to no
avail. The house was ransacked also. but no
money was found. Finally Mrs. mckinley, a
nelghbor. suggested, as she had dream to that
effect that possibly the treasure might be Sc
creted In an antique table, and this article of
furniture was examined. Tightly wedged in an
inside corner of the table were found bag Of
gold and a roll of greenbacks, which, being
counted, amounted to $4,000. The newly
found money was at once deposited in the
bank. father and two sons constitute the
family.
Mr.. Sprague has Just received word from
England that he has also fallen heir to several
thousand dollars by the death Of q relative.

GAITHERsBURG HAPPENINGS.

The interest manifested in the proposed
branch railroad from the Senaca quarry, con-
Meeting with the B. and o. ct this place, is
again revived and Indications point to an early
commencement Of operations following the
surveyed route, with perhaps some slight
deviations. Since the suspension of traffic on
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal the quarry has
practically suspended work, thus depriving
Washington and other places Of q great amount
Of valuable building material. The proposed
road will be highly advantageous to Mont
gomery county, will promote the farming as
well as mineral interests of that section and
will open up the richest section Of country in
the state. The opposition manifested by ma
jority Of citizens to its proposed route through
the incorporate limits will, no doubt cause the
company to change its survey, as the original
survey ran through some Of the most valuable
property in the vicinity of Gaithersburg.

Destruction OF the Oyster Beds.

In 1888 there were 4, OO0, 900 bushels Of oysters
received at Baltimore from the Chesapeake bay
beds, but this season the receipts to the same
date have fallen below 2, 200 900 bushels, while
packing houses throughous the state are
closed and from all parts of the bay comes the
story Of exhausted beds. The violation of the
culling law and the consequent destruction of
the young oyster is responsible for the condi-
ton Of things. The law is dead letter and a
great industry is being ruined. Nearly ten
years ago Prof. Brooks of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity issued warning against the wholesale
depletion of the oyster beds, but the work has
continued and even now the oystermen do not
seem to realize the gravity of the situation.
