How the Fn* Seals of the Behrlnir Sea
Currnled and Driven to the Killicz
Grounds.
The method followed by the natives
of St. Paul's and St. George's islands,
rvflf f.Tia A1
?uu utooaa WAOLOJ ii-i wuo
far seals, is curious. During the summer
season the seals frequent the shores
of these islands and gather on the
beach in vast numbers. The younger
male or bull seals are the only ones that
are killed, and they are found assembled
by themselves away from the breeeding
rookeries. The natives go down to the
beach in the early morning and quietly
surround a group of 100 or more seals,
getting between them and the water.
The seals are then alarmed with shouts
and cries, and terrified, flee inland
along the only way left open. They
are driven in this way to the killing
place near the village on the shores of
the island. Driving them is a very easy

time te accomplish the distance; but
they blunder along, stimulated by the
cries of their captors. The old bull
seals that may be in the drove are apt
h to show fight, but if they do they are
f allowed to drop out of the crowd, as
their skins are worthless. The young
ones are as easy to drive as a flock of
sheep.
The seals, when finally driven upon
the flats between the east landing and
the village, and almost under the win
dows of the dwellings, are herded there
until cool and rested. The drives are
usual 1 j made very early in the morning,
iiir. ?St the first breaking of day, which is
L30 to 2 o'clock of Jane and July of
these latitudes. They arrive and cool
off on the slaughtering groands, so that
by 6 or 7 o'clock, after breakfast,
the able-bodied male population turn
out from the village and go down to
engage in the work of slaughter. The
men are dressed in their ordinary working
garb of thick flannel shirts, stout
cassimera or canvas pants, over which
the "tarbossa" boots are drawn. If it
rains, they wear their "kamlaikas"
made of the intestines and throats of
the sea lion and fnr seal. Thus dressed
they are armed with a club, a stout
been made particularly for the purpose
at New London, Conn., and imported
here for this special service. These
sealing clubs are about five or six feet
in length, three inches in diameter at
their heads, and the thickness of a
roan's forearm where they are grasped
by the hands. E-ich native also has his
stabbing knife, his skinning knife and
his whetstone. These are laid upon...
the grass convenient, whenths-wofk oi
bj&SiBg-efuisof&mg tSe seals down is
^ in progress. This is all the apparatus
which they have for killing and skin
"When the men gather for work thej
are under the coatrol of their chosen
foremen or chiefs; -usually on St. Paul,
divided into two working parties at the
village, and a sub-party at northeast
point, where another salt house and
slaughtering field is established.
At the signal of the chief the work of
the day begins by the men stepping
into the drove, corraled on the flats, and
driving out from it 100 or 150 seals at a
tima, make Wu&i they call a pod, which
they surround in a circle, huddling the
seals one on another, as they narrow it
down, until they are directly within
reach and under their clubs. Then the
chief, after he has cast his experienced
eye over the struggling, writhing kauticle
in the center, passes the word that
V 3 1- _ 1 V'Xi. 3 i.1 L
Buca aau suuu a iseiu is uiuien, uau Luaii
such and such a seal is too young, and
that snch and such a seal is too old.
The attention oE his men being called
to these points, he gives the "word
strike, and instantly the heavy clubs
come down all around, and every one
that is eligible is stretched out stunned
and motionless in less time, really, than
I take to tell it. Those seals spared by
the chief now struggle from under and
over the bodies of their insensible companions
and pass, hustled off by the
na+.TVAA "Ka^Tr t,n rpa. Than tnA oar
casses are skinned, and the pelts pre*
pared for shipment.
The common or popular notion in regard
to seal skins is that they are worn
Jby those animals just as they appear
when offered for sale; that the fur seals
swim about, exposing the soft coat with
wh?ch our ladies of fashion so delight to
cover their tender forms during inclement
winter. This is a very great mistake.
Few skins are less attractive than
the seal skin when it is taken from the
creature. The fur is not visible; it is
concealed entirely by a coat of stiff
overhair, dull, gray, Lrown and griz

lady's sacque and boa. Fitting them
for the market is a tedious, costly process,
requiring great skill.

the islands, and old and ycnng
take to the sea, and it is supposed Bpend

season, on the fishing banks of the

A JoarnnllBt Visits the Greatest Financial

In his notes on his recent English

coverg eight acres of ground, aDd in
which there are employed a thousand
persons, managers, clerks, messengers
and porters, whose combined salaries
amount to about ?225,000 a year. It is
a private corporation or business, not a
department of the government, as many
people suppose. It has existed, for
nearly 200 years, having been founded
in 1691 by a shrewd Scotchman named
William Patterson. Ab now arranged,
the business of the concern is managed
by a governor, deputy governor, and a
board of directors consisting of twentyfour
members. Of these eight go out
of office annually, but they may be and
generally are re-elected term after term.
It is stipulated that the governor must
be a proprietor of the bank stock to the
amount of ?4,000, and that the deputy
governor and directors shall own stock

So well is the bank managed
th?t the dividend upon the stock

privilege of issuing notes payable on
demand?crisp, fresh, beautiful notes
they are, and good in all parts of the
civilized world-the Bank of England has
from tne government tne additional advantage
of beinjr allowed to manage the
national debt. To secure the note issue,
as may be stated by the way, there
is never less than ?15,000,000,and sometimes
as high as ?25,000,000, in gold
bars and silver, besides other securities,
in the bank vanlt. Every bar of the
gold weighs sixteen pounds and is
worth about ?800. To protect this
great treasure at night a company of

A Lesson in Hamility.
I don't know as it is much of a story,
but the telling of it one hot May day
brightened us all up in a wonderful
manner.
We were discussing a wedding we had
attended that morning, and were criticising
the appearance of the bride,
when Aunt Gratia, who had been busy
at her sewing, asked:
fTH/l mn avat V> ?>? ? nf a weddinfr
where no one looked at the bride V
4'Such a thing would not be likely to
happen, unless it was at an asylum for
the blind, only patients admitted,"
said MabeL
"It might have been the couple who
were married under the window in
OUUILLkJ YVCaiUUi) Mbiu T UOt
"We never heard of such a thing.
Did you, Aunt Gratia? Was it a real
wedding, or is it only a conundrum ?"
"The wedding to which I refer was in
a church, and the seats were all filled,
for it was a general invitation. It was
a floral wedding. Being the seven
teenth of June there was no lack of material,
and as the Sabbath-school scholars
took the matter of decoration in
hand, there were plenty of helpers. The
huge wooden ark of the cone try meeting-house
was transformed into a bower
of beauty. The girls were all dressed
in white gowns looped up with roses,
t *? ? 1.1?
as a me dojb wore ruses m wio uun?uholes
of their vests. Every guest cairied
a bouquet, the old people and all,
and children scattered flowers in the
briaes's pathway as she walked from tier
childhood's home near by the church.
There had never been such a display in
that town before, and it wasn't done tor
style at all, but just because everyone
loved t he minister's daughter and wanted
to have a finger in her marriage pie;
but after all this parade no one looked
at the bride."
Aunt Gratia smiled, and went on complacently
with her sewing, while we all
broke in afresh:
"Did a sudden darkness cover the
land?"
"Perhaps there was a prevailing eyedistemper
at the time."
"Did eome fan-loving youngsters
throw pepper in the eyes of the guests V
"Oh, I know! Something happened
at. fTia -porv fthnrnh dnor to Dfevent the
ceremony being performed. How romantic
I"
''Wrong, all of yon," said Annt Gratia.
"It was as perfect a June day a3 ever
slipped into the abyss of time. Every
one was open-eyed with eager expectancy.
And the ceremony came off according
to the programme. I know, for
I was there myself and heard every
word."
' 'Oh, Aunt Gratia! how can you be
so tantalizing?''
' Do tell us, aunt, we give it up."
J So the dear old lady, having threaded
her needle, took up the story again.
11 When the bridal party were entering
the church, and the organ was playing
a wedding march, a low, clear,
cniiQisa voice pipeu. up.
"Oh, do just look at that mouse right
on the pulpit cushion 1"
"Everybody heard it and looked; and
everybody felt obliged to keep watch,
for they all knew the silly little bride
was mortally afraid of a mouse, and they
imagined the consternation should the
bright-eyed nibbler jump or fall upon
her bare white shoulders and arms as
she stood there almost exactly beneath
him. The little thing behaved with all
possible decorum, however, in spite of
their forebodings, and after the holy
words had been spoken which made the
young conple one for life, the mnsic
8truck Tip and the mouse ran back along
the railing and into his hole in the
platform."
"Oh, dear me !w
"How funny; and you saw it, aunt T
"No, I didn't; I had something more
important to attend to."
"Oh, Aunt Gratia, it was your own
wedding, was it not?"
"Yes, dears; and it was a lesson in
humility to me that I have always remembered;
for there, when I had every
reason to consider myself the center of
attraction, and was as self-conscious as
possible, I found afterward in this most
important event of my life I was entirely
eclipsed in the eyes of all my acquaintances
by a tiny long-tailed mouse."

Hna^-u: V*
j Life in China.
J Family ties, blood-relationship, and
filial respect and affection are strong in
I China. The father is not held responsi!
ble for his son's debts, bnt the sen is
responsible for the debts of his father,
j He is botind to support his father, if
! necessary, until he gets married and
| has a family of his own to support. If
i he abuses his father?and even should
j the latter become dissipated and seem
i to deserve it?the law punishes him,
I and not only is he punished, but his
; neighbors living on all sides of him are
fined, for not interfering and preventing
the ill treatment.
There are no newspapers in China.
Every town has its market, and two
markets are held daily?morrfng and
evening. All events of impo-tazse are
bulletined in the markefc-plac: every
day at the expense of the municipality.
There is no mail system in China. If
a man wishes to write to a friend in a
j distant place, he mnst wait until he
| finds some one going to that place, and
intrust his letter to him for delivery,
in such service there is no surety^ of j
the letter reaching its destination. This
Is realized bj Chinamen in this conn try,
who get only a very few of the letters
sent them by their friends, while their
letters in turn frequently miscarry.
There are no liquor saloons in China.
The people drink spirits made from
rice, as well as gin, and, among the
wealthy, wines, liquors, brandies, etc.,
are nsed; but this use of spirits i3 mcBtly
during meal time. Tippling is tinknown
in China. If a man wants to
drink, he can buy his liquor at the grocery
store and take it to his house for
use'. No license to sell is required.
Any dealer can sell it freely. During'
my stay of eleven months in that country,
says a writer, I did not see ai.
intoxicated person.
Rice, meats of various kinds, poultiy,
and fisb, are the staple food. A man
can live on fifteen cents a day in China
?twelve for meats and three for rice.
All classes use rice, which is the main
article of food in the kingdom.
There is no such thing as courting
among young people in China. The
bride and bridegroom never see each
other until they are about to become
man and wife. Their courting is all
done by their parents. Let us suppose
that you have a son and I a daughter
of marriageable age, and we are friends.

I eon married, and ask if I am willing to
! give my daughter to him. I say yes, I
have seen your son and like him, but
you have not seen my daughter. Bat
you hire a female broker to go and
inspect my (laughter, which she does
for a consideration. Indeed, this is a
regular business, and many make a good
living out of it. She visits my house,
sees and talks with my daughter, finds
that her feet are eo small that she can
hardly walk?that absurd custom of
deforming the feet is still very prevalent
in China?and returns and makes a most
flat:ering-report. Then you and I come
together, and I sive you a written paper
embodying my consent to the union,
while you, in like manner, signify yonr
approval, and give me the paper signed
by yon, and the engagement is completed.
You then cause a great number
cf sweet cakes to be sent to my
daughter from your son, and these are
given around to our friends as an announcement
of the betrothal of our
daughter. The marriage itself may not
take place for a month, six months or a
I year after the engagement, according
to agreement. There is no religious
ceremony of marriage in China. A
friend of the bridegroom's family?
nsnallv a man of resoectabilit? and do
sition?is chosen, who reads the marriage
ceremony from a book, which
binds the couple; who, before that time,
had been strangers to one another, 1;o
live together during life. It is rare indeed
that these marriages turn out unhappily.
Recognizing the Criminals.
While in their earlier days the Australian
colonies were far from a paradise
to the incorrigible convict, that period |
was, on the other hand, the golden age
of British convict life to those who
had the sense to recognize their opportunities.
To-day a man emerges from
the great penal servitude prisons of
Milbank, Dartmoor or Portland with
the world all before him, bnt very far
from being able to choose what he will
do in it. In fact, unless the Prisoners'
Aid society comes to his assistance, he
is in great danger, however well intentioned,
of relapsing into crime from
sheer want. But the ticket-of-leave
man thirty yeare ago found an active
demand for his services. A comfortable

A Bottle's Long Yoyage.
In the autumn of 1879, the young
son of M. de Bille, the Danish minister
to the United States, on a voyage from
Copenhagen to the Sandwich Islands,
threw overboard in the Atlantic ocean a
Dot lie CCUULLLU1K a IV mo
brother-in-law, an officer in the Danis h
navy, then stationed at St. Thoma:;.
The bottle?an ordinary soda-water
bottle, tightly corked?was set adriit
in the latitude of the Cape Verde
Islands, with no idea, of course, that it
wonld reach its destination. The experiment
being the mere fancy of an
idle moment, it was forgotten before
the voyage was over. Two years had
passed when last October, the Danish

Mr. G. A. Zeller, walking one day in !

it contained a message, the writing of j
which could still be read, though it wa s
mnch faded. Mr. ZeUer is a German j
and conld not read it himself, but nn- !
derstood the language well enough to \

he sent the bottle and its contents to :
the editor of & newspaper at St. Thomas
who happened to know the officer to
whom the letter was addressed, and |
who had not loug since returned to 1

Hurrah.?This word, which is eo :
frequently shouted, in this country e - j
pecially, originated among the Eastern i
nations, where it was used as a war-cry, j
from the belief that every man who ;
died in battle for his country went to j
heaven. It is derived from the Slavonic j
word, "Hurraj," which means "to j
Paradise."
"What Are You Giving Me??This j

origin: When Charles IE. was fleeing, j

he was sitting on deck directing tbe

some of the tcbacco in his fase. The I

to go further away from the "gentle- j

"Sweet Bt-JlKD-By."?This popular
hymn was th9 work of two men?Joseph
P. Webster, now dead, who composed
the music, and Dr. F. S. Bennett,
at the present time a resident of Richmond,
111., the author of the verses.
The two wrote a hymn-book in 1874,
and "The Sweet By-and-By" was one ol
the pieces jointly produced for it. Th;suggestion
came from a chance remark
by Webster, who was habitually despondent,
that all would bo weli "by-ana

Limbo ob Lbibus.?[Lat. "Limbus,''
a border.] A region supposed by som6
of the old scholastic theologians to lie
on the edge or confines cf hell, Here,
it was thought, the sonls of just men,
not admitted into heaven or into purga- ;
tory, remained to await the general
resurrection. Such were the patriarchs
and other pious ancients who died before
the birth of Christ. Hence the
"limbo" was called "limbus patrum."
According to some of the schoolmen
there was also a "limbus puerporum''
or "infantum," a similar place allotted
to the sools of infants dying unbap- i
uzeu. lU 'Uiese wuo auucu,iu yu^uiiH
opinion, a "limbus fainorum," or fool's
paradise, the receptacle of all vanity
and nonsense.
Jack Eetch.?A han|;man or exeoutioner,
commonly so called from one
John Ketch, a wretch who lived in tha
time of James II., and made himself
universally odious by the butchery of
many brave and noble victims, particularly
those sentenced to death by the
infamous Jeffreys during the "Bloody
Assizes."
Halcyon Days.?Halcyone was the
wife of Celyx, and the latter having
met his death by drowning, Halcyone
cast herself into the ses, with the dead
body, and both were transformed into
the kingfisher bird. The animal lays
its eggs on rocks near the sea in calm
mid-winter, and the "halcyon days" are
therefore seven days before and after
the winter soletice. ?

A Train Robber's Cftiifrssion,
The confession of John Land, the *
Missouri train robber, is in substance i
that he ia a well-digger by trade. He j
was approached by two men who proposed
the train robbing to him. Ee :
thus continues:
" As near a* c?n judge, it was a lit- |

any of the family. Upon arriving tt
the cut I gave the signal agreed upon.
It was answoied. and I stepped forward 1
and was met by Tesse Jamc-s. All the !
members of the old gang were there? j

A Usefal Table.
To aid farmers in arriving at accuracy
in estimating the amount of land
under cultivation, the following table
is given :

Purifying Rooms.
To purify a room, set a pitcher of water
in the apartment, and in a few hours
it will have absorbed all the respired
gases in the room, the air of which will
have become purer, but the water utterly
filthy. The colder the water is, the
greater the capacity to contain tnese
ga3es. At ordinary temperature a pail
of water will absorb a pint of carbonic !
acid gas and several pints of ammonia.
The capacity is nearly doubled by reducing
the water to the temperature of
ice. Hence, water kept in a room
awhile is unfit for use. For the same
reason water frcm a pump should always
be pumped out in the morning before
any of it is used. Impure water is
more injurious than impure air.
Soots for Cows.
In Europe, says the American Cut
enter, the carrot is grown to a great
extent for feeding cattle in the winter
months. Roots of some kind are led
the winter through to cows. An Iowa
raiser of Jersey cows says he is accustomed
to feed carrots, of which he
usually_raised six hundred bushel s per
acre. Uarrots id crease tne flow oi mil*
and improve the appearance and quality
of the butter. Beets are preferable to
carrots for increasing the flow of milk;
the milk, however, which is produced
from beets is not as good for butter.
The breeder mentioned above has found
it difficult to raise his calves on clear
Jersey milk, and advises the feeding of
thai which has been skimmed.

How to riant a Tree.
To those unacquainted with treeplanting
the process seems very much
of a mystery. Yet there are but a few
things necessary to success. A tree
should be taken ont of the gronnd with
all tho roots possible. If many roots
are cut off in digging, there must be a
corresponding thinning of the branches
as a compensation. The roots must
net be allowed to dry. A tree with its
roots exposed to a drying air can no
more live than can a fish out of water.
The next thing is the planting. The
hole should be large enough to take in
the roots as the? were before. Good
fresh soil should be on hand?not fresh
manure, that is injurious?and the soil
pressed and trod in very firmly around
the tree. This firm treading brings the
soil and th9 roots close together at once,
and the small roots soon commence to
draw a supply of moisture from the
ground. After planting, a mulching of
leaves, manure, or similar material may
be placed around the tree to its advantage.
After this the tree should
grow.
Gardes Seasoning: for Food.
Many people have the idea that a
finely flavored dish must cost a great
deal; that is a mistake. If yon have
untainted meat or sound vegetable,
or even Indian meal, to begin with, yon
can make it delicious with proper
seasoning. One reason that French
cooking is much nicer than any other is
that it is seasoned with a great variety
of herbs and spices; these cost very
litttle. If you would bay a few cents
worth at a time, yon would soon have a
good assortment. The best kinds 3re
sage, thyme, sweet marjoram, tarragon,
mint, sweet basil, parsley, bay leaves,
cloves, mace, celery seed and cnions.
If yon will plant the seed of any of
these first seven mentioned, in little
boxes on your window sill, or in a sunny
spot in your yard, you can raise all you
need. Gather and dry as follows:
Parsley and tarragon should be dried in
June and July, jasfc before flowering ;
miat in June or Jcly; thyme, m&joram
and savory in Jaly and Augnst; basil
and sage in August and September. All
herbs sbouid be gathered in the sunshine
and dried by artificial heat. Their
flavor is best preserved by kcepiag
them in air tight tin cans, or in tightly
corked glass bottles.
Cliiclis fn tiie Garden.
It is a very excellent practice to place
newly-hatched broods in an inclosed
garden that the older folks do not have
access to. Confine the mother hen in
a coop, rvhich may be placed in the
shads of any small fruit tree or bnsh.
*? * ? ' *l 2 -3 .1! L
as chicks require soxc &au ueuuaie xuuu |
at first it is difficult to feed them if
their coops ere placed where the rest of
tho flock can pillage freely. The London
Gardener's Chronicle speaks of the
valuable service of little chickens in the
garden as follows: 'J? bey run about, i
doing no harm, their little bodies and J
feet leave no impression on the soil; |
they do not scratch, seem never dissat-:
isfi.ed, but find pleasure only in the pursuits
of food or in basking in a warm
co;mer in the sun's rajs. While in this
6tage of infantile innocence the little
creatures can in the garden perform a
va?t amount of good. Their little eyes
spy out and little bUls gather myriads
of insects that are not c-asily visible to
th? human eye. Perhaps owing to the
vevy minute nature of the food they
gather, arising from their characteristic
voracity, they are almost always roaming
about and doing useful work. Meanwhile
the clucking and actions mother
may be kept'secure in a bottomed coop,
Wiucn, removed nere ana mere in tue
garden, will allow the chicken3 to enjoy
fresh feeding each day.
VTJien to Cut Grain.
Home of the correspondents of the
Now England Homestead are going fot
Superintendent Sanborn of the Collego
Farm for claiming that grass should not
be cut until it is in bloom in a very
shtirpway. One of them says:?"After
reading Professor Sanborn's writings I
must say that I am very much astonished
th&t any practical farmer, and certainly
a professor in a State college, should
advocate the cutting of grass in bloom,
or a, few days subsequently. I have

crop gives the best satisfaction of any
I ever fed, and four-fifths of it was cut
in June. From my experience I am
satisfied that 1,500 pounds of timothy
cnt one week previous to bloom will
make more butter, beef or mutton than
2,000 pounds one week subsequent to
bloom. Nine tons are cut too late
where one is cut too early. There was

T
t
covering of manure is taken np by any
single crop. The benefits are sometimes
distributed over several years. The uncertain
element in computing the value
of manure is this distribution through
successive crops. Besides, .there is
something to be credited to the action
of manurs in releasing fertility latent
before its application?the changed condition
that permits crops to appropriate
what was already in the soil, but not
avauauie wiiiiuuu unuuxc.
an application of manure shows plainly
through several succeeding crops. As
a rule, he doubted if a good dressing i3
more than one-third appropriated by
the next grain crop. Another said that
cabbage would take all the elements
contained m a dressing of manure, and
the next speaker declared that though
it might take all the elements it could
appropriate, there would be something
left for wheat or oats or corn?elements
that cabbage cannot use. The best crop
of wheat he ever raised "was on land that
came into his possession after it had been
used steadily for oats so long that the
crop had ran down to twenty-two bushels
to the acre. He fitted that land for
wheat, and got forty-four bushels. The
oats had exhausted elements that went
into their composition, bnt without
manure there was something left for
wheat. W. S. Carpenter, a member of the
club, says: "Manuring heavily is like
eating a great deal. I take a gTeat deal
of food, bnt to balance the account I
must work a great deal. If I fail to
do that, there is a penalty?sickness. I
may eat and work, but, without work,

full indulgence. So with land?if manured
heavily it most turn off big crops
or the farmer who pays the cost will get
sick. Give me manure and I will try
to get good crops, but I have to try
without full supply, for manure cannot
be bought at sucli rates as will leave
profit in grain crops. Now I must say
that my opinions have changed somewhat
about the ways of using ,znanure
to get most profit out of it, but I have
a rule that I can stand by; get the manure
in the soil, no matter how, so it gets
| in the earth with a little covering. Once
I ?*> +V>a c?v?l 4+ in cafe- tVioro is nfthhinc t.n
lose. Pile and rot, handle and expose
it, and there is waste?waste, besides
labor lost. I would rather have two
loads raw, than rotted in to one load
yes, one and a half loads raw than two
rotted into one. For my use the soil
will take care of all the value when the
rp.w manure is put into it, and it will
extract the fertilizing elements, no
matter how raw the manure when it
goes in. I do not accept the theory
that raw manure is not good for wheat.
No doubt fine manure is better, but
even wheat will stand raw manure in
the soil, and if it doesn't take all there
is in it, the next crop will get something.
I do not believe any single grain
crop will exhaust a heavy dressing of
manure. Tobacco may do it, so far as I
the elements it appropriates are concerned,
bnt even after that crop something
would be left to support a succeeding
grain crop?and tobacco is
more exhausting to the land than anything
else we raise.

October 17 all went "well, but on
that day, during a heavy gale, the
bark -dragged into four fathoms of
water. The anchors had to be slipped
and the vessel was beached in order to
save the lives of the crew. At the time
the weather was intensely cold, and
while the crew were being landed seven
of them had their limbs badly frostbitten.

in landing, the crew managed
to save some three months' scpply of

by sea-elephant, penguin
flesh, and penguin eggs, wit* some sea
cabbage, formed the diet of the crew.

A Modern Witch.
In this age of intelligence, and beneath
the shadow of half a dozen
school-houses and churches, one would
hardly suppose that there is supersti;
tion enough to lead people to regard
the sham mummery and clumsy ant:C3
of an old woman as being those of a
witch. But such is the fact. There is
now living in an alley running into
Liberty street a woman who proiesses
to be endowed with supernatural power
and whose conduct is as gross as it is
grotesqv a. She never enters her own
house without leaping backward and
forward over the sill of her door, and
when she goes into a neighbor's house
she does the same tiling. She is constantly
engaged in incantation when
not employed at her ordinary work, and
whispers ominously of her power to
spread or stay disease. Absurd as these
things are, they have produced singular
effects on some of the neighbors. A
woman living next door to the witch
actually believes that her children are
more or less affected by her influence,
as they have had all the diseases common
to children, while other children
in the same neighborhood^whom the
witch like 3, go unharmed. These ridiculous
beliefs and fea*^ are producing
considerable excitement, and the witch
enjoys her reputation. She anathematizes
and blesses such as incur her disfavor
or favor, and revels in the fact
that she is feared by the ignorant.?

Half the diseases of the human family spring
from a disordered stomach, and may be prevented
by invigorating and toning that abused
and neglected organ with Hosteler's Stomach
Bitters. Let it be borne in mind that the liver,
the kidneys, the intestine-, the muscles, the
ligaments,'the bones, the nerves, the integuments,
are all renewed and nourished by the
blood, and that the digestive organs are the
grand alembic in which [the materials of the
vital fluid are prepared- " When the stomach
fa.ilo Yvr^tri^Q nnnriqfcmP.nfc for itf
dependencies they necessarily suffer, and the
ultimate result, if the evil is not arrested, will
be chronic and probably fatal disease somewhere.
It may be developed in the kidneys in
the form of diabetis, in the liver as congestion,
in the muscles as rheumatism, in the nerves as
para'ysis, in the integuments as scrofula. Remember,
however, that each and all of these
consequences of indigestion may be prevented
by the timely and regular use of that sovereign
antidote to dyspepsia, Hostetter's Eittera.
According to the Bombay Gazette the total
number of cases of cholera during the past yeai
was 30,966, of which 14,232 proved fatal.
