The Keystone of the Arch

In the edfce of health is vigor, which means not
merely muscular energy, but an active discharge
of the various functions Of the body, such as di-
gestion, secretion of the bile the action of the
bowels, the circulation of the blood. Nothing
more actively and thoroughly contributes TO the
united performance of these functions than the
renowned tonic and regulator, Hostetter's Stom-
ach Btters. The result of its use is a speedy
gain in strength, together with the agreeable
consciousness that the tenure of life is being
strengthened-the one that is laying up vitality
against the unavoidable draughts which old age
of the Bitters constitute it a reliable safeguard
against malaria rheumatism and kidney trouble
Appetite and sleep improve through its use, and
and damp.

eyes that wont to range the evening
sky, lin this vicinity, on the evening of
the goth ultimo, were favored with a sight
no less rare than impressive. The sunset
attracted all ou.-of-doors' people, being
attended with masses of tire-mOttled cloud
all along the western horizon, for a breadth
of thirty degrees. Shortly before eight
o'clock, as the color began to pale, mass
i've cumulus cloud, low in the west, oppos-
ed the solar beams in such fashion as to
cause band of almost total darkness
athwart the glory in the northwest; an
ashy- gray swath through some twenty
degrees in width. 1t lasted some ten to
fifteen minutes, while the gazers fancied it
accompanied by the rumblings of distant
thunder, far to the westward.
Such sight might perchance have
suggested to IIawthorne's genius his
celestial railroad theme; but your CORE
spondents thoughts, while gazing, went
back to an older story by far, viz, the
divinely constructed pathway for Israel
through the Red Seas depths.

An enterprlsing citizen OF Fulton,
Fla, Mr.. Hole. is the pioneer in .
new industry for that State--dla-
mond-back terrapin farming. In his
pen, built In the water. he has 1000
terrapin and next year hopes to have
five times that number. The Florida
terrspin are OF the same species 40
the Maryland tcrrapln. Thoro 10 said
to DO no difference In the taste Of the
precious morsels, but there Is great
difference In the price paid for them.
While Florida terrapin bring only
go, those takon from tho waters 81
Chesapeake Bay sell ut from $86 to
500 q dozen. Even ut $50 dozen,
however, Mr.. Hole expects to make
the business q paying one. The
great difficulty to be encountered In
supplying tho demand Is the unusual
ability OF the terrapin to hide them
selves. They IRE ensiest caught In
the Matching season, when they make
tracks In the sand to and from the
nest; but this IL the closed season,
and the law provides q heavy penalty
for violation. In the open season ter.
rapin are captured In nets. Mr.. Hole
says that terrapin possess o fatal Gu
liosity. II there are terrspin in .
creek. oil you have to do 10 to rap on
the boat, and their little black heads
will bob to the surface. Then the
dragnet IL called into play, and the
terrapin are bagged.
