Dyspepsia


Makes many lives miserable, and often leads to
self destruction. Distress after eating, sick head
ache, heartburn, sour stomach, mental depres-
sion, etc, are caused by this very common and
increasing disease. Hoods Sarsaparilla tones the
stomach, creates an appetite, promotes healthy
digestion, relieves sick headache, clears the
mind. and cures the most obstinate cases Of dys-
pepsia. Read the following:
81 have been troubled with dyspepsia. 1 had
but little appetite, and what 1 did eat distressed
me, or did me little good. In an hour after eating
! would experience a ~faintness or tired, ali-gone
feeling, as though / had not eaten anything.
Hcods Sarsaparil!a did me an immense amount
OF good. 1t gave me an appetite, and my food
relished and satisfied the craving 1 had previously
experienced. It relieved me Of that faint, tired,
ar-gone feeling. Ihave felt so much better since
1 took Hoods Sarsaparilis, that I am happy to
recommend it." G. A. PAGE, Watertown, Mass.

OF all these minor superstitions, per-
haps the most prevalent is the one
which is the subject of discussion in
this article that of sitting thirteen at
table Anidea of its prevalence among
all nations may be obtained by advert
ing to the well-known facts that the
Turks have almost expunged the num-
Der Q3) from their vocabulary; that
the Italians never use it in making up
the numbers for their lotteries, and
that the thirteenth card in one of
their games bears the figure of death;
that no house in Paris bears the No.
IS, and that in that city the Quarter
zienes are recognized persons in society
who hold themselves in readiness to
be invited to any dinner which other
wise would have the fatal thirteen at
the festal board.
The thirteen superstition, briefly
stated, is that II thirteen persons,
either by accident or design, dine to-
gether at the same table, one will die
within a year. Its origin has been
traced back to the old Morse myth
ology, in which occurs the story of
the gods sitting down to a feast with
Loke in the Valhalla. Baldur was
the thirteenth at the table, and had to
die. 1t is hardly likely, though, that
so obscure a tradition connected with
an ancient faith limited to a
comparatively small locale would
be able to spread its pernicious
influence so broadcast over the earth.
The popularity accepted origin may
be taken as the right one. The Last
Supper, which so Immediately pre-
coded the crucifixion of the Savior,
must always have excited a sentiment
of awe in the breasts of the faithful,
which in an unenlightened age easily
d~egenerated into a feeling of super
stitious terror. Leonardo da Vinci, in
his famous painting on the wall in the
refectory of the Dominican convent of
Santa-M aria-della- Oracle in Milan, un-
Willingly perhaps. gave the first i'm
pulse to the superstition in the minds
of the ignorant masses who beheld
the twelve Apostles and the Master at
table. To see before their eyes the
fatal feast itself must have affected
them far more profoundly than could
the most eloquent sermon on the sub
ject. In this picture, too, we see
Judas in the act of splitting the salt;
thus it is fair to presume that both
superstitions have practically the
same origin.-J r.. Abar60neU in
Nay BeJord'S.

superstition Among Women.

do not believe that this supersti-
ton prevails any more widely among
women than among men. The great
Napoleon was more superstitious than
Nine. de Stael, and doubtless the
weakness is a matter of temperament
rather than of sex. The increase of
intelligence and the efforts of societies
like the Thirteen Club must do much
to break down the old prejudice
against the number thirteen. A re-
cent incident may show that it is
growing in popularity. AT a large

1t is impossible not to notice how
completely happiness is absent from
the face of the Princess of Wales as
she bends forward to look out at the
crowd, There is not the shadow of a
smile visible, and yet the expression
is tender and attractive. If one could
believe it, writes AN American Girl
in London it would seem as If the
c~ountenance expressed a WEAKNESS of
continual pomp and vanity, as if the
mother and wife would Withdraw
from the formalities OF the royal
routine depressing her, to find peace
and rest in the quietude and simplicity
of domestic life.
1t is doubtful if a princess yer ex-
p~eriences just such desires as this, but
it is pleasant for sentimental persons
to fancy that this n is confessing
the admirable humility in the regret
full sadness of her eyes.
Possibly the manaoTho catches n
swift glimpse of the face through the
glass of a chariot may read il as truly
as those that are made familiar with
it 1t court functions, and he may not
be wrong when he assumes that the
princess looks sad because her heart is
heavy.

Novel Ideas in Textisc~.

There has recently been brought Tor
ward by German chemist a method
for rendering fabrics proof against the
ravages of decay for an indefinite pc
Rod. With this process it is said that
no matter how delicate the texture or
color of the fabric may be, its long life
is assured
The inventor took his ideas from the
fact that he learned that the wonder
full state OF preservation exhibited by
the headbands of Egyptian mumnles
was due to their having been impreg-
mated with kind OF resin. Acting
upon this information the chemist
made experiments with the substance
extracted from birch bark, and he
found that the green tar left over after
the oil used in tanning had been eX
tracted from the white bark of the
birch tree yields substance neither
acid nor alkaloid.
This, in solution with alcohol, form:
a LIQUID with the power of resisting,
after once becoming dry, even the ac
ton of alcohol itself, and it is claimed
possesses the property of making textile
fabrics apparently imperishable as fal
as decay is concerned. And a grea
point claimed for it is that it readil,
unites with the most delicate as we'll a
brilliant colors.
Perhaps the most novel idea in TIN
textile line is that of an Englishmal
named Stillbers who, it is said, ha
actually made a cloth of spiders webs
which has been employed for purpose
of surgery A gentleman travelling
through the country who recent
stopped in Washington stated tina
this man Stillbers had gone quite ex
tensively into this spiderweb clotl
making. - Interview in Washington

MarrIaces Among the Hindus.

These infant marriages are the root OF
the social evils of the Hindu system. A
child of Z or is married, taken from her
parents, and brought to the house of her
mother-in law. The English stage mother
in law is not an agreeable person, but she
Is amiabiity personified compared to the
actual Hindu mother-in law. In the pres
ence of this domestic tyrant the poor little
child wife is not permitted to sit down;
from morning till night she is employed
as a servant in household drudgery. If
she complains her murmurs are met with
abuse, and even blows, not q word of
kindness. not sign of love to cheer her
sunless life, and this at an age when i'm
pressions are easily formed, aud when
the character is in the course of forma
ton.
In some cases the education of the child
is continued until 10 years of age, and in
a few, very few, exceptional cases longer;
but even in the most exceptionally favor
able cases it can be but miserably deficient,
for the child is mother before she is IA,
and then all mental cultivation must of
necessity be discontinued, and she sinks
into the domestic drudge she is ever after
to remain, her highest ambition being to
get new clothes and jewels, her highest
duty to satisfy the animal instincts OF
her husband. Love. in its highest sense
between husband and wife is unknown
sympathy for and interest in tho hus
bands pursuits, interchange of ideas
even conversation on ordinary topics is
naturally impossible. At best the hus
band treats the partner of his joys ant
sorrows as a toy, to be played with il
his idle moments, and to be abandoned
when it has served it's purpose and begin:

to be wondered at that the women sinl
