The Fountain Head of Strength.

When we recollect that the stomach
is the grand laboratory in which food
is transformed into the secretions which
furnish vigor to the system after entering
and enriching the blood; that it is, in
short. the fountain head of strength, it is
essential to keep this important supply
ing machine in order, and to restore it to
activity when it becomes inactive. This

etfectually, seasonably, regulating and
reinforcing digestion, promoting due ac-
ton Of the liver and bowels. Strength
and quietude of the nerves depend in
great measure upon thorough digestion
There is no nervIne tonic more highly
esteemed by the medical fraternity than
the bitters. Physicians also strongly
commend it for chills and fever. rheuma-
tism, kidney and bladder trouble, sick
headache, and want of appetite and sleep.

THE PERFECT BLOOM.

'Tis not the bud, though wondrous fair
Nor yet the full-blown, regal rose;
But that rare charm, half seen, half guessed
Unfolding from her spicy breast
a subtle fragrance on the air:
a pink iush where her sweets repose,
And slow uuveil in modest bliss
Wooed by the SUMS warm, loving kiss.
'Tis not the child, though dimpled fair.
Nor yet the womans thoughtful face
That wins most hearts lis that sweet flush
on sirlhoods s cheek like sunsets blush.
The bloom of heaven that fingers there
And crowns her with angelic grace.
Her clear, pure eyes behold afar
The glory of Hopes gate ajar.
God grant this perfect opening flower,
May blossom full without blight;
May wear her crown of womanho0d
AS something noble, grand and good;
May spend her strength in righteous power.
With heart-strings ever tuned Alright.
Tnen shall Gods presence ike dove
O'ershadow her with wings OF love.

III sometimes Cures When Nothing

According to Vaidy, the French army
cantoned in Bavaria, after the battle of
Austerlitz, had only 100 sick in division
of {, 200 men, being little more than one in
the hundred. When. on the other hand,
an army is subject to privations or is dis
couraged by defeat or want of confidence
in its chiefs, the proDortion of the sick is
often fearfully increased. So etficacious
is cheerful state of mind, from the more
healthful nervous influence which it diff
fuses through the frame, that surprising
recOVcrieS occasionally happen which can
be ascribed to no other cause than this.
A singular but instructive instance fell
under the observation of Sir Humphrey
Davy, when, early in life, he was assist
ing Dir. Beddoes in his experiments on
the inhalation of nitrous oxide. Dr.
Beddoes, having inferred that the oxide
must be specinc for palsy, patient was
selected for trial and placed under the
care of Davy. Previously to administer
ing the gas, Davy inserted a small ther-
mometer under the tongue of the patient
to ascertain the temperature. The para
lytic man, wholly ignorant of the process
to which he was to submit, but deeply
impressed by DR.. Beddoes with the
certainty of its success, no sooner felt the
thermometer behind his teeth than he
concluded the talisman was in operation,
and in "a burst OF enthusiasm declared
that.he already experienced the effects of
its benign influence throughout his
whole body. The opportunity was too
tempting to be lost. Davy did nothing
more, but desired his patient to return
on the following day. The same cere-
mony was repeated, the same result fol-
lowed, and at the end OF fortnight he
was dismissed cured, no remedy of any
kind except the thermometer having
been used.
Another remarkable instance occurred
during the siege of Breda in 1926. When
the garrison was on the point of surren-
dering from the ravages of scurvy, a few
walls of sham medicine, introduced by
the Prince of Oranges orders as the
most valuable and iniallible specific, and
given in drops as such, produced aston
| ishing effects. Such as had not moved
their limbs for months before were seen
walking in the streets sound, straight
and whole, and many who declared they
had been rendered worse by all former
remedies recovered in a few days, 10
their inexpressible joy.-Principles OF

who had spent cold nights in the streets
and had invited the awful disease in

in, who, among other things, knows a

Renting Ban Dresses.

There are stores IN the city where even
ing dresses are rented. They are made
mp handsomely, with the skirt all fin
ished except the waistband. and with
the waist itself basted together instead
Of stitched. The woman who desires TO
rent the costume can have the waist
fitted. It IS fitted and prepared for her
in a way that does not preclude the pos
sibility Of its becoming refitted for others
for other occasions. She rents it for the
evening, paying $40 or SIS, returns it IN
the morning with the consciousness that
she looked at the ball Just as well as her
millionaire neighbOr.
It is rather a severe thing to assert,
but these trades people do not hesitate to
say that men are responsible for the
starting in of this custom of renting fin
cry. They say that wives caught the
idea from their husbands, who make n
practice of renting dress suits instead Of
owning them. Everybody knows that 1t

These fruits are generally purchased by
bands of rowing pilgrims, the members
Of religious professions and Jewish

Not only In oriental countries are these

England. They are probably used in
American Jewish synagogues to some ex-
tent, but such use would be necessarily
limited. In England, so am informed,
good specimens of holy citrons bring as
much as 80 shillings each, there being
whole companies which make their i'm
