Progress and Dyspepsia.

tronomy is the law of the stomach; one
is rule, the other misrule generally.
AS primitive race we ate what we
could get and when we could get it, An
advance in civilization brought about the
"square meal" bread, meat and potatoes;
culture added two courses-one at the
end, dessert, to help digestion; one at the
beginning, the gusto, to whet the appetite.
In state of still higher refinement we
have split it again, and the after meal
comprises pastry and dessert, the middle
meal meat and game, the preliminary
meal soup and fish, but the height of the

The Old WAY of Passing Bills.

A document found among the Duke Of
Rutland's papers at Belvoir castle throws
a curious light upon the mode of getting
private bills through the house of commons
in the days of King Charles II. The case
in hand was the divorce bill of John, lord
de Roos, an affair that caused great deal
of gossip in it's day. One of his lordship's
agents wrote in January, 1867: "On We'd
nesday last got six and forty of the house
of commons to the Dog Tavern, in the
palace yard at Westminster, when were
present Mr.. Attorney General and Mr..
George Montagu. AS soon as they had
dined we carried them all to the house OF
commons, and they passed the BILL as the
committee, without any amendments, and
ordered it to be reported the next day.

CROSSING THE ATLANTIC

Usually involves sea sickness When the waves
play pitch and toss with you, strong indeed
must be the stomach that can stand it without
revolving. Tourists commercial travellers,
yachtmen, mariners, all testify that Hostetter S
stomach Bitters il the best remedy for the nau-
sea experienced in rough weather on the water.
Nervous and weakly travellers by land often
suffer from something akin to this, and find in
the Bitters its surest remedy. No disorder OF
the stomach, liver or bowels is so obstinate that
it may not be overcome by the prompt and
thorough remedy. Equally etticacious Is 1t fol
chills and fever, kidney and rheumatic trouble
and nervousness. Emigrants to the frontier
should provide themselves with this fine medi
oinal safeguard against the effects Of vicissitude
of climate, hardship exposure and fatigue.
