The governor of St. Helena gives an &C.
count in his last report of a visit which he
lately paid to Tristan d'Acunha. This lit
tie island lies about 500 miles almost
due south of St. Helena and about the same
distance west of the cape of Good Hope.
The governor found the 81 inhabitants,
consisting of Is adult males and 90 females
and 90 children, under the control of the
aged Peter W. Green, in excellent health,
and desiring the help of the chaplain
rather than of the doctor OF the ship. The
climate is an admirable one sad the gen.
eral condition of the Inhabitants leaves
little to be desired from material point
of view. The live stock consists of 900 cat
tie, 500 sheep, a few pigs and donkeys
some poultry and a large number of geese
The settlement consists of stone built cot
tages scattered over a common, lying at
the foot of the PERCEPTIONS and lofty noun
tain. The inhabitants are total abstainers,
and they certainly form, says Governor
Wilson, a strong argument in favor of tee
totalism. Occasional expeditions are made
in open boats to Inaccessible island, 90
miles distant, for seals, which they rely on
for their ights.-London News.

porting his roof. But all in vain. The
column refused to answer the purpose.
It was at one time too long, at another
too short. Surprised at this resistance,
Solomon lowered the walls Of his palace
to suit the beam, but at once 1t shot up
and pierced the roof, like an arrow
driven through piece of canvas or a
bird recovering its liberty. Solomon, en-
ragged, cast the tree over Cedron, that all
might trample ON it as they crossed the
brook.
The queen of Sheba found it there and
recognizing it's virtue had it raised. Sol
ONION then buried it. Some time after
the king dug the pool of Bethesda on the
spot. This pond at once acquired miracu-
lous properties and healed the sick who
flocked to it. The water owed its virtues
to the beam which lay beneath it.
When the time Of the crucifxion of
Christ drew near, this wood rose to the
surface and was brought out of the wa
ter. The executioners, when seeking q
suitable beam to serve for the cross,
found it and of it made the instrument
of the death of the Saviour. After the
crucifxion it was buried on Calvary,
but the mother of Constantine the Great,
the Empress Helena, found it deep in
the ground with two others. Christ's

TREATING THE WRONG
DISEASE.
How large bills are run up without
benefit TO the sufferer.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one
from dyspepsia, another from nervous dis
ease, another from liver or kidney disease,
another with pain here and there, and in
this way they all present alike to them
selves and their easy-going, Indifferent, OF
over busy doctors, separate and distinct dis
eases, for which they prescribe their pills
and potions, assuming them to be such,
when, in reality, they are all only sym tOD9S
caused by some womb disease The physi-
clan ignorant of the cause of suffering, en-
courages his practice until large bills are
made. The suffering patient gets no better,
but probably worse, by reason of the delay,
wrong treatment and consequent complica-
tons. A proper medicine, like DR.. Pierce g
Favorite Prescription, directed 10 The cause
would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby dispelling all those distressing
symptoms, and instituting comfort instead
of prolonged misery. 1t has been well said,
that a disease known is half cured"

scientific medicine, carefully compounded
by an experienced and skillful physician,

At this time women begin to look
over their wardrobe and to select those
gowns which are worth doing over for
wear in the coming season, and for this
purpose the following directions, from
The Ladies' Home Journal, are most
timely:
Every one has or wants black gown
nowadays, and such goods as serge,
cheviot, cashmere, henrietta, etc., are
easily cleaned. First remove the grease
spots with naphtha and remember that
this fluid is very explosive when exposed
to either light or fire.
Make lather Of warm soapsuds, using
good, not strong, soap and teaspoon
full Of borax to every two quarts Of wa
ter. Into this dip the goods up and down
and wash between the hands; then
wiring gently and pat partly dry. Hang

Always rinse once in lukewarm water

dry. Never rub fabric that is being
renovated on the washboard nor wiring

Der that 1t roughens the hands, and that
after using il is we'll to put vaseline
upon them and to wear old gloves.
Wash alpaca in the same manner as
cashmere adding little gum arabic to
the rinsing water. If the black goods
are Of rusty color, restore them by
sponging with ammonia and alcohol
Always use piece of the same material
or one near to it to sponge with. Re-
move grease from colored cashmere with
French chalk. Rub 1t on the spot, then
let 1t remain all night, and in the morn
ing brush off. If necessary, repeat the
treatment.
Wash colored wooden fabric, as cash

r,-h Dinners In 4otham.

When the clubs of New York were
fewer and their houses were smaller
than they are now, the restaurants had
monopoly of all the big dinners of a
semipublic character. Every one of the
dozen or more large clubs in New York
now has kitchen where dinner can
be prepared for several hundred people
with as much attention as the largest
restaurants could give to 1t. Many
large dinners have been given at the
new Metropolitan club. During the
winter the Lotos gives half dozen din
ners in its clubhouse, each one of which
is attended by 200 or more people, and
as many as 275 persons have been dined
there. The University and the Manhat-
tan clubs give large dinners from time
to time. OF course such dinner neces-
states the services of extra walters, but
1t does not strain the kitchen service.

A Loaf of Bread over 600 Years Old.

The Soar family of Ambaston, Derby
shire, England, have curious heirloom
in the shape of loaf Of bread which is
now over 600 years old. The founders
of the family, it appears, were great
friends Of King John. When that mon
arch died, he made several land grants
to the Scars. One of these tracts, it ap-
pears, had always been conveyed with
loaf of bread as witness of good
faith. When King John made over the
papers to the original Soar, he sent the
traditional loaf along with the writ
lngs,' and the deed and the loaf are
both kept to this day as sacred relics. -
