Prof. Hebra of Vienna asserts that
the sun does not produce freckles. They
never appear, he says, in children I'M
der the age of six or eight years,
whether exposed to the sun or not.
The sun, if hollow, would hold three
hundred thousand earth globes, and an
eye capable of hourly viewing ten thou
sand square miles would require fifty
five thousand years to see all its sur
face.
Some idea of the vast extent of the
surface OF the earth may be obtained
when it is noted that if lofty church
steeple is assembled, and the landscape
visible from it looked at, nine hundred
thousand such landscapes must be
viewed in order that the whole earth
may be seen.
Neptune, the outermost member OF
the solar system yet known, is thirty
times farther from the sun than the
earth is, or 2,7SO,OO0, 900 miles, and the
tremendous line of his orbit, which en-
closes our comparatively small group of
heavenly bodies, is so long that, al
though his rate Of travel is three miles
in a second, it takes him 1865 years to
complete one circuit
The Journal of Insanity says that
genius oftentimes seems to have about
it a touch of madness, and insanity
sometimes shows streaks of genius, but
the relation between the two is acct

and leaving our earth at certain time
and travelling in the direction of the

less than 100000 years; and yet there
are stars in the heavens and visible
through telescopes that would require
a cannon ball moving with the same
velocity at least 5OO,0OO,O00 years to

Will people never learn that "cold" is
an accident to be dreaded, and that when
it occurs treatment should be promptly
applied? There is no knowing where the
trouble will end; and while complete re-
cevery is the rule, the exceptions are ter
ribly frequent, and thousands upon
thousands of fatal illnesses occur every
year ushered in by little injudicious ex-
posure and seemingly trifling symptoms.
Beyond this, there are to-day countless
inyalids who can trace their complaints
to "colds," which at the time of occur
renee gave no concern, and we're there

cold use amberlain's Cough Remedy.

ton in Madagascar, says the New York
World. For his grandfather, Prince
Lucien Murat, after having Tilted King
Joseph Bonaparte's daughter, Princess
Charlotte, married that young lady's
handsome governess, Miss Fraser OF
Philadelphia. This of course entailed
quarrel with the ex-king, who at the
time was living at Bordentown, N. j.,
and the newly married couple were left
to their own devices, the first eighteen
years of their married life being full OF
strange vicissitudes, their children be-
ing born amid downright want and
something akin to starvation. Thus
they were left in such straits for money
chat Prince Lucien was actually forced
to accept employment as the driver OF
milk wagon in Trenton, while his wife
eked out scanty subsistence as a
sChoolma am.
Of course, the coup d'etat at Paris
and the ascent of Napoleon to the
throne changed all this, and on Prince
Lucien's return to France with his
American wife he was gratified with
the title of prince and granted a hand
some allowance by the emperor. OF his
three children one is the duchess de
Mouchy, who for so many years was
the chief friend and confidante of En-
press Eugene. Another was Prince
Joachim Murat, formerly a general in
the French army, and who was engaged
for time to Miss Caldwell of Wash
ington, while the third, Prince Achille,
famous for the duel which, while a
young lieutenant Of hussars, he fought
at Marseilles with the colonel of his
regiment, the Marquis de Galliffet,
married lovely and wealthy Armenian
of the illustrious family of Dadian, who
brought him vast estates in Russia.
Prince Achille, who had been born in
New Jersey, and who, like his brother
and sister, spoke French with an
American accent, committed suicide a
few months ago while in Russia, and
his young son, who held commission
of sublieutenant in the Twenty-ffth
regiment Of French dragons, has now
followed him to the grave.
Prince Louis Murat's death serves to
draw attention to the revival among
the titled classes Of France Of the taste
for foreign adventure SO conspicuous
two centuries ago, and to the existence
of which in those days France owed the
possession of her then magnificent
colonial empire. Thus, the due d'Uzes
died couple of years ago while en-
gagged in the exploration of the Congo
valley in central Africa; Prince Henri
d'Orleans, son Of the due de Chartres, is
engaged in the exploration of Central
Asia; the due d'Estissac died while
sheep farming in Australia; the prince
de Condo, son of the duo d'Aumale, like
wise died in the antipodes. Young SOL
diers bearing the illustrious names OF
De GontautB iron, Fitzjames, Com
hinges, MacMahon, have won crosses
Of the Legion Of Honor and medals on
the battlefields of Cochin China and
Tonquin, while the marquis de Galliffet,
the marquis de Massa, and Count Ar.
thur Lauriston, the fidus achates of the
famous viveur, the due de Grammont-
Caderousse, earned their spurs and
their stripes on the battlefieids OF
Mexico.

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

Genius always lives it's best at first;
prudence, at last.-Lavater.
The bigot for the most part clings to
opinions adopted without investigation,
and defended without argument, while
he is intolerant of the opinion of others.
Buck.
Man is not born to solve the problem
OF the universe, but to find out what he
has to do, and to restrain himself with
in the limits of his comprehension
Goethe.
The essence Of lying is in deception,
not in words. A lie may be told by 81
lence, by equivocation, by the accent on
syllable, by glance of the eye at
taching a peculiar significance to a
sentence; and all these kind of lies are
worse and baser by many degrees than
lie plainly worded; SO that no form of
blinded conscience is so far sunk as
that which comforts itself for having
deceived, because the deception was by
gesture or silence, instead of utterance.
John Ruskin.
Man has an unlucky tendency in his
evil hour, after having received an in
jury, to rake together all the moon
spots on his antagonist, and thus
change single deed into whole life,
SO as more fully to relish the pleasure
of wrath. Fortunately, with regard to
love, he has the opposite tendency-that
of pressing together all the lights-all
the rays emitted from the beloved OBJ
ject-by the burning glass of fantasy
into one focus, and making of them one
radiant sun without any spots But,
alas, man too often does so for the first
time when his beloved one-yes, often
blamed one-has passed beyond the
cloudy sky of his life.-Richter.

Opening a Sluice Gate

Relieves a dam of superabundance of
water. The bowels are kind of sluice
gate of the system, and serve TO carry off
superhuites which would otherwise food
and damage 1T. Constipation obstructs
this avenue of escape. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters opens it and relieves the system.
This it does gently and gradually, but
completely, and does not, like violent
purgative, grippe, convulse and drench the
bowels, and leave them weak and unfit
for efficient service afterwards. On the
contrary, it invigorates and regulates at
the same time that it relieves them. 1t
also strengthens and imparts activity to
the stomach, liver and kidneys, counter
acts a tendency to rheumatism and in
vigorates the nervous system. For the
relief and prevention of chills and fever,
bilious remittent, dumb ague and ague
cake, it has no peer among modern RENE
dies. Persons convalescing or suffering
from the debility or infirmities of age
find it highly beneficial.
