Why should flowers sleep? asks Sir
John Lubbock in 1.-THE Beauties Of Ma

Live In" Why should some flowers do 80

said to regulate their dinner time by it.
Other flower, on the contrary. open in the
evening.
Now, it is obvious that flowers which
are fortified by night flying insects
would derive no advantage from being
open by day, and, on the other hand. that
those which are fortified by bees would
gain nothing by being open at night.
Nay, it would be q distinct disadvantage,
because it would render them liable to be
robbed of their honey and pollen by in
sects which are not capable of fertilizing
them. have ventured to suggest then
that the closing of the flowers may have
reference to the habits of the insects,
and it may be observed also in support
Of this that wind fertilized flowers do
not sleep, and that many of those flowers
which attract insects by smell open and
emit their scent at particular hours.
Thus Hesperus matronalis and Lychnis
vespertina smell in the evening, and Or
CHS pifolia is particularly sweet at night.

The Kneipp Fad.

You cannot be half day in Germany
without discovering that "Kneipp" has
there become great power. Half the
population talk ;'Kneipp"-they walk
"Kneipp," dress "Kneipp," battle
"Kneipp," feed "Kneipp," and the more
nimble among them even dance
"Kneipp." Ladies invite their friends
as matter of course-just as naturally
as here they would to partake of cuI
of tea-to divest themselves of their shoes
and stockings and indulge in a walk in
the river or in some near pond. People
whose sleep is troubled, as matter Of
course, supplement their tual might
cap with "Kneipp' th-all cold
--out of which they draw up their feet
and calves, all moist and dripping, into
the sheets which we bonighted islanders
assiduously study to keep dry.
IF you may believe the new god OF
healing and his votaries. there is no CON-
plant which "Kneipp" will not cure
from simple dyspepsia up to cholera and
even lunacy. And it is all, or most Of
It, accomplished by water--a merciful
dispensation of Providence it may seem,

Catherine oe Medicl,s poctor.

Pharnelius, like many other physf-
clans, was much addicted to philosophy
and mathematics, but having taken to
medicine he speedily attained a great
practice. Henry1I as dauphin and aft
erward as king was his constant friend.
Among the most grateful Of his patients
was Catherine de Medici, who believed
that his skill had saved her from state
of childlessness, and who gave him on
the birth Of her firstborn $4,000, order
ing that like sum should be paid to him
at the birth of each succeeding son or
daughter. | think that Cardano liked
Pharnelius better than he liked Sylvius
He says he was pale, lean man of about
30, who loved his study and was full OF
domestic affection He was the profess
or of medicine in the university and
the first court physician, but he must
have puzzled CassaDate greatly, for he
had an undisguised contempt for court
society -Blackwood's Maya ne.

A New Certain cure for Piles

We do not intend to indorse any except
articles of genuine merit; we therefore
take pleasure in recommending to suffer
ers from Piles in any form, prompt and
permanent cure. The following letters
speak for themselves:

writes: One pkg. of Pyramid Pile Cure
entirely cured me of piles from which 1

says: The pkg. of Pyramid Pile Cure

The Pyramid Pile Cure is new, Ger.

DEAFNESS Cannot be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inf1amed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal condi-
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever ;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh. which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
