Cost of Columbus, Expedition.

The cost of discovering America by
Columbus, says Prof. Ruge, in the
Globus, was 1,140,000 maravedis, or
about 81, 296 of our money. The money
of Queen Isabella, of course, had a
higher purchasing power than the dol
lar of to-day. Of the sum named, Co.
lumbus received an annual salary of
1920, and the two captains each 1892 per
year. Each sailor, in addition to his
subsistence, received $2.45 per month,

A River Flowing Inland.

On the African shore, near the Gulf
of Alden, and connecting the Lake of
Assal with the main ocean, may be
found one of the most wonderful rivers
in the world. This natural curiosity
in the shape of river does not flow to
but from the ocean toward the inland.
The surface of Lake Assal is nearly
seven hundred feet below the sea level,
and it is fed altogether by this para
doxical river, the latter being about
twenty-five miles in length. 1t is said
to be a wonderful fact that this river
of immense volume Especially at high
tide) furnishes exactly enough water
to counterbalance the extraordinary
evaporation of the lake, and that in
consequence the lakes surface re-
mains at a uniform level year after

Death Of Bishop Bissell.

The Ri. Rev. William Henry Augustus
Bissell, d. D., Bishop OF Vermont, died at
the Episcopal residence in Burlington on
Sunday, May IA. His death was not who'll
~ unexpected, as he has been seriously i'll
since last December, but 1t was hoped
that he might, as it was his ardent desire
to do, live to celebrate the twenty fifth an
niversary of his election to the episcopate
in June next, at the meeting OF the do
cesar convention in Burlington. His gov
eminent of the church for the last TWEEN
ty-five years has been distinguished by
great growth and prosperity OF the church,
and his loss will be severely felt. Bishop
Bissell was native of this town, and the
house still stands at the Center, where
his father (Dr. BisselD resided and where
the Bishop was born. Bishop Bissell was
a man OF fine presence and winning ad-
dress and an eloquent preacher. Who
his successor viii be is question which
will probably be decided at the meeting
of Convention, the first Wednesday in
June. The clergy OF the diocese who have
been mentioned for the position are Rev.
w. j. Harris, ID. D., now State missionary,
Rev. j. /. Bliss, ID. D., rector OF Burling

The reader of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires u con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers, that they offer 500 for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials. Address, F. j. Che

been pronounced incurable. 1t was
Dir. r. G. Flower who cured d. Buck.
ley, our late city clerk, of the terrible
nervous shock and prostration he was
suffering with year and a half ago.
He has cured a great many of my
friends, in fact never heard of such
wonderful man.
They are few testimonials from
patients cured by DR.. r. G. Flower
when given up by the med
zeal profession to die. They
are mostly prominent men and women
we'll known in their communities and
generally throughout the state. They
stand as wall of witnesses all voic-
ing the same sentiment, "that if it had
not been for DR.. r. c. Flower we
would have been in our graves" A
patient of DR.. Flowers told me a lit
tie work written by the doctor en-
titled, Science of Health. 1t gives
description of DR.. Flowers life and
work-numerous articles on health
and several of his lectures-One woman
said her sister was cured of q nerve
trouble by rea ting the book.
Anyone sending two &c stamps to
tie Flower Medical Co., $50 Columbus
ave., Boston, Mass, will receive post
age paid this valuable work.
Two things are demonstrated; first,
that DR.. r. G. Flower possesses almost
supernatural gift in the examina-
tion of diseases, and second, that he is
most remarkable healer in desperate
or bad cases. With all the evidence
gathered it would seem that there is
but little excuse for The sick to suffer
and die of bad chronic diseases when
DR.. Flower can be reached.
