L Am Now i'm the Best of Health"
The greatest of modern physicians,
Prof. Edward E. Phelps, NJ. D.,
LII. D., after years of long practice
and close scientific study, gave to suf-
fering and diseased men and women
his marvellous, life giving prescrip-
ton, with the conviction and positive
knowledge that it had peculiar vir-
the terrible word incurablen was ut
tered by the medical practitioner.
Thousands of the strongest testimon-
ials from the best known and most
reliable men and women of our coun-
try fully sustain the claims made by
DR.. Phelps regarding his incompar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs
furnished, comes recently from a gen.
tleman widely known in the capital
city of the Dominion of Canada. We
refer to Mr., Alfred Brown, 81 O'Con-
nor St., Ottawa, Ont. Mr., Browns
letter fully demonstrates the fact that
the greatest sufferer may cast off his
or her burden of disease, and become
well, strong and happy. 1t proves,
too, that the great medicine maintains
more firmly than ever before its UNI
| rivalled place in the estimation of peo-
pie of wealth and social standing as
well as with the masses. Mr.. Brown
says;
~ acknowledge with thankfulness
| and pleasure the fact that l have been
cured of a very painful illness of
eight years standing by the use of
Paine's Celery Compound. l had,
during the years of my illness, tried
almost all the advertised medicines
without deriving any good results.
was also treated by several of the very
best doctors of this city hoping to
find that one of them, at least, wo uld
understand my case.
81 was getting worse, and was told
was incurable. l was indeed in a
form the house alone as | was liable
to sudden collapse. l tried hospi-
tai treatment but no relief or good
anything that 1 ate increased my
agonies; 1 was extremely weak, rest
less, tired and respondent; was obilg-
ed to walk about with my hands press
ed firmly into my left side to ease my
pains; my feet and hands were cold
continually; had inclination to vomit,
had profuse, cold sweats, quick breath
ing, and would be racked with pain
for hours at time.
81 After the regular use of Paine S
Celery Compound for a time, am now
in the best of health, have good APP
petite and can use any kind of food.
Thank God, l am my old self once
more, all through the use of Paine's
celery compound. ~

Tho Umbrella bird, which has some
resemblance to a crow both in size and
plumage. is so called from Il wide crest
which spreads u above it, head like
a paraSol. This crest Is composed Of
long slender feathers. rising from u
contractilc skin on the top of the head.
The shafts are white. and the plume
glossy blue. hair like, and curved out
ward at the tip. When the crest Is
laid hack the shafts form a compact
white mass slOrinE up from the top Of
the head. and surmOuEtcd by the dense
hairy plumeS. but when fully spread
the top forms a perfect. slightly clonG-
a'ed dome. Of a beautiful shining blue
color. The length OF this dome from
front to back is abou; five inches, tn"
breadth. four to four and a half inches.
This bird is a native Of the islands OF
the South American rivers, being sCl-
dom If ever seen on the mainland.

IaillCss Dogs.

The "s%chipperke,' a small dog which
from the Low Countries, is tall
less. lie is IN his native country tho
favorite companion of the Flemish bar
gee, and hence his name. which, in
English. means little skipper At
the Fakenham dog show of 1876 the
Prince Of Wales exhibited a pair of
Indian ~tailless dogs. Then there is
the boh-tail sheep dog. Until within
the last half century sheep dogs with
ont tails were exempt from taxation, it
being supposed that no one would keep
a ~taillcss dog who could afford to pay
the tax. As a consequence almost ev-
cry sheep dog had his tail cut off. and
owing to this cause tho ~tailless sheep
dog, still met with in some localities,
has arisen. Darwin tells us that a
mutilatiOn of this kind viii often be.
come hereditary.

Why the Fire Sputters.

From the 81, Louis Republic: Ev-
eryone who enjoys sitting by Il wood
fire must have observed how the wood
sputters and Kisses and frequently
gives on little Jets Of flames and again
the pieces crackle and fly off at a con-
siderable distance, This is caused by
the water in the wood, which. ON
fined in the cells, becomes heated and
generates steam. II is "A curious fact
that intense heat and intense cold
produce fractures in various substan-
ces. In the o extreme cold weather
II is not uncommon, especially If the
cold has come on suddenly, to find trees
that are split from the ground to the
top by the action OF the frost. %l'reez-
ing expands the water in the cells Of
the wood, and so suddenly is this done
that the trees burst as would a pitcher
or mug in which water vas confined.

Clouds Of sea DuS:.

We have heard Of waterypoutS Of
showers of fish. OF salt rain and many
other curiosities which present them
selves in the atmosphere. but = assert
that there is such q thing as sea dus;
Is to transcend all reasonable bounds.
The evidence, however. In favor OF its
existence is exceedingly grcat-indis-
putable. in faCt-and this is the story
to!d by eye witnesses. They say that
in certain parts of the world, notably
about the Cape de Verde islands, there
are constantly met at sea. several hun
drcds of miles away from land, thick,
yellowish red fogs. not unlike London
fogs in November. These fogs OBJ
scurc the atmosphere and are very in
jurious to navigation. but they have
not The balcful odor of their London pro-
totypes, nor do they effect the breath
ing in the same way. While stand
ing through them it is found that the
ship, sails and rigging are covered with
a fine, impalpablo powder. which falls
as dry rain and covers the surface on
which ii falls, sometimes to the deph
OF fully two inches. In color il is OF q
bright. brick dust hue. sometimes of a
light yellow. and it feels between the
teeth like fine grit. suCh a. might be
blown into the mouth on IA windy dgy
in March. No place is free from It's
presence, its tinoncss giving it power
to penetrate everywhere. The sea,
while the dust is falling. looks as
though it had been poppered. ana il
discolored for some distance down.
Sometimes the dust comes in a shove.
and passes of again. The fogs are
nothing but vast quantities o. the Gps
suspended in the air.
II Is not only in the vicinity q Capr
de Verde that this wonderful dust Is
cen. In the Mediterranean. on the
northern parts Of Africa. and in the
middle of the Atlantic il has been re-
ported. 1t is invariably the same IN
Kind and appearance, and examination
under microscopes has proved the iGen-
tity of, say Cape de Verde sea dns,
with Mediterranean sea dust. Al this
is very remarkable-dust falling H.
