Her castle near Somlyo was the finest specimen of a great residence in all that shadow of the Ermellek, and ehe, a Roumanian by birth, and a Hungarian by marriage, seemed to unite all the brilliant characteristics 01 DOiu muse jui'iiiresijiif niics. She was a widow to begin with, and since the animal, man, has speculated upon the varieties of the angel, woman, a widow has been pronounced the most amiable variety of the ^ecies. She was very beautiful, tall, blue-eyed, black-haired, piquant, red and white, with the most scornful little mouth, and the most delicate profile; her hand and foot were models, although the latter was frequently stamped when she was not pleased. She was?in the third and last place, as the preachers say? very rich, and had fallen heiress to two collections of jewels which were almost fabulously valuable. A brilliant creature, the baroness. She owned villages and vineyards, and made a large income every year from her sale of raster, a wine of a pale golden hue, which had as full and peculiar a flavor as she had herself. The baroness sent her wine to Vienna, where it was considered almost equal to Tokay. Of cour* e she had suitors, the beautiful, sharp baroness. < rii 1 1 1> JLney came irom j.mii?viv:nu? uuu nu.v eia, from Poumania and all Hungary, from Austria anil from the German principalities, ami as for the unlucky wretchcs about Pnspoki, and the Beliar settlement, and the country gentlemen of Erdiozegh, they knelt and worshiped ? in vain as she da hod past them 011 her fleet thoroughbred, for she was Diana, ; ?as a huntress, and the queen of the - amazons; also her black horse Tetenyer was said to emit tire from his nostrils % when he stopped to breathe. This grand lady was afraid of nobody, loved nobody, had no fviends save the nuns at the i'oot of the IiezGebirge and one old priest who seemed to be deeply in her confidence. Every year she made - a grand visit somewhere ? Vienna, Paris, Rome, London or St. Petersburg. She spent money like water, made everybody talk, wonder and admire, and her splendid jewels re re the envy of all the court ladies. Yes she was afraid of one man, and * that was her steward, Xensiedler, he who for rears bad managed her vast estates, her vineyards and her wheat fields, heagfields and fisheries. Neusiedler was a cronghing, crosseyed, mean-looking man, married to a bold, black-eyed, large-nosed woman, who wan twice his size, and who lived in the village, near the castle, and who spent her time envying and hating the baronness. Madame Pasteur, the French companion, and Matilde, the French ? maid, who never left the baroness, thought that Neusiedler and his wife had the evil eye, and that they would some day wilt the baroness. But Piuka^ vina Eltz laughed at this fear, and kept on her course exultant. Still when the yearly payday come round, and she had to look over accounts with Neusiedler, 6he~did show what she never had shown before?iear. Among her jewels was a splendid . rope of pcr.rl-eolore.d pearls, the rarest thing in the whole world, neither black nor white, but pearl color, with three great emerald pendants, each as large as a small pear. The emperor always noticed this jewel with a smile and a eomnlinipnt when the Baroness Rnka vina Eltz went to a court bull at Vienna. He told her that the empress hail nothing half as handsome, and it is to be * feared that the emperor spoke also of the white iifck on which the necklace rested, for Eukavina Eltz was apt to blush and look magnificently well at such momenta. Then she had great chains of sapphires as blue as her eyes, ' . and some big rubies which the baron V had given her (the old baron, twice her ' age, who went down into Roumania for her when she was fifteen); and she had diamonds, of course? every rich lady has diamonds?and a grand boxful of engraved amethysts and antique gems. { Some, that Cardinal Antonelli gave her in Home, for lie. too, had admired the wild baroness. Indeed, if the Baroness Rukavina Eltz had ever written her.Hrfmoirs what a story she could-havo told! BiMf^Te end of ej^FMroinan'.s history is that she falls in love; and inch was the beginning of the end of the story of Rukavina Eltz. She went to England ODe summer, and there was a young Lord Ronald Somerset,or a Lord George Leveson Montague, or a younpr Lord Howard Plantagenet (they mix thom up so, these English words, they are not half so individual as our Hungarian names), who could ride better than she could. This was a dreadful blow to the baroness, and she wished herself dead. But when at dinner the soft-voiced, handsome, tall young Englishman, Sir Lyster Howard Ly?ter (that was his name after all) sat next to her and talked so well and was so complimentary to her seat, cross-country, and noticed the pearl-colored pearls, and the emeralds, with his lips, and the neck with his eyes, Rukavina Eltz forgave him aud bepan to talk of her home near Somlyo, and it ended in a large English party coming to the Er valley, under the shadow of the F: Mellek, for a loug summer visit. And how they raved . about everything? the v pm>. the horses, v- the scenery, the wild, hnri.-.iric splendor of the baroness' housekeeping, and how they ail hated Non:i .ller, and hi.s big, black-browed wi;e, v. ho were invited up to the bails. There was an English h ?y, one with very Ions; teeth, and a v. :y long nose and very high eyebrows. and they called her Lady Louisa. She was very grand and lofty, and Madam Paste nr heard her sav one day : "Do yon know, dear baron ess, I think you aie very careless?don't you know? about those beautiful jewels of yours? do you know?" 'B it who could steal tliem?" .said the baroness, laughing. " There are none like them in all Hungary, and no one would dare to wear them, they are so rare!" "An ! but some of the.se wild people of yours! They might swallow your emeralds, those tierce Croats, the Roumanians, and then you keep them in such open closets and boxes." Madam Pasteur nodded her meek head, too. She had trembled for the jewels always. But the baroness and Sir Lyster begpji to think of other things than jewels; there were moonlight rides and walks, and there were long talks and many reveries; Lady Louisa went home, they all" went, but Sir Lyster came back. And then, one evening. Madam Pasteur said afterward that she saw Neusiedler come in and bully tho baroness, and she heard him hiss out the words: "Remember if vou marry, you lose all. Remember the baron's will!" (h;.. And Rukavina Eltz turned pale and said, " Bully, traitor, tiend," between her shut teeth. She went olF to Paris, for on?i of her long visits, and Neusiedler squeezed the tenants, and made ? ^ every one miserable. The castle was , v shut up, and black Tetenycr grew thin in his stable. When she came buck she looked older ?* and more sedate. She weDt. often to see the nuns at the foot, of I!ez Gebir^e. She rh<v th?- priest also very often, and Mad an' Pasteur lhouglushe wasxrowing devote. But she dressed in her usual dashing colors (for she was a very Rou\ manian at heart) and she wore one oi those scarlet quilted petticoats that tht English ladies wore so ranch, and ven pretty it looked, with her dark habil and her dark dresses looped up over it j Tbis, with a scarlet feather in her bat looked as if tbe baroness was thinking of England. It was a miserable day that, wher Madam Pasteur and Matilde came screaming down the long corridor, i " The jewels are gone! gone ! gone !' The baroness bad the great bell o the castle rung, and Neusiedler wa: sent for at once. She was very pale, fo: she loved those pearls and emeralds. Neusiedler was composed ; every lool was made to say, " 1 told you so li< had always warned her about the jewels " What can be done?*' asked tho bar oness. ' Search, whip, imprison all who at tempt to leave the province," said Neu siedler, calmly. " Except women ? I will have n< women whipped," said the baroness. " I am glad to hear that," said Neu siedler, laughing his malicious laugh ; " for Madam Neusiedler goes to Vienni to-morrow." "Ah !" said the baroness, "you knov ; I could not mean, at any rate, that Mad am Xeusiedler should be disturbed i send her in my little carriage with tin three ponies to Erdiozegh." "Your excellency is very condescend I ing," said Nensiedler, bowing to th( | ground. The local police sought everywhere i for the lost jewels, but no trace of then ! could be found. The baroness sat in .1 i sort of stupor, aud gazed out of th< window. " I will go to England !" said she, hastily, one day. "Nensiedler?somt money, and arrange for me to bo gone three months." " It is well, madam," said the steward It was a very roundabout route thai the baroness took for England! Wher Matilde and Madam Pasteur reached the station at Erdiozegh, they were aston ished to see the baroness dash into thi ; ticket ofllce and buy tickets for Vienna aud when thev arrived, all of them al her tine hotel at Vienna, who should : stop out to meet ttiem out Dir juysiej | Howard Lyster I Nothing but the well known eccentricity of the baroness apologized tc 1 Madam Pasteur for what followed She commanded two dresses to be made, and that Madam Pasteur should go with her to a masked ball at the opera house in Vienna. ! "Sir Lyster Howard Lyster will gc with us !" said she, as a shade passed over the pale face of her companion. Oh! that the lady of sixteen quarterings should be seen in such a low place ! No, she was not seen ! she was masked ; , but that she should even go! What a sacrifice of pride and of decency, Madam Pasteur thought it, as she saw the baroness take the arm of one masked man after the other, and then go into the supper room with a party who followed a tall mask in a black d_omino. A voice struck on Madam Pastour't ear?was it that of Madam Neusiedler's: Was it?could it be? Yes! and as she threw back mask and hood there sparkled on her neck the pearl-colored pearls, and the emerald Incf inti'nlo Oil linnwm 1 ^cuuauiovi me ivci, JVHVIO. w?>. ?.* . " The necklace of the baroness," shouted the impulsive, the imprudent Madam Pasteur. It nearly spoiled the plot, for Madam Xeusiedler was amongst friends and confederates. However, the tall Englishman stepped forward, and two Vien! nese policemen arrested the woman. She behaved with extraordinary coolness, and explained : "It is indeed the necklace of the baroness, given by her to my husband ; for moneys which he has advanced to her. Let her deny it if she dare! 1 have her written acknowledgment of i the money, and I have come to Vienna to sell the necklace where it is wellknown." The people gathered around the wonderful necklace, which the chief of police put in his breast pocket, removing the woman Xeusiedler. The baroness went back to her hotel, and allowed Madam Pasteur to pass u wretched night. She would explain nothing.

Utvwvu i glad to hear that tlie Rukavina Eltz jewels were in pawn?that envied neck' lace! J Neusiedler came to his wife's rescue, and told the story over again. The ; evidence against the baroness was damning. She had, aeco ding to his story, .lived far, far beyond her income, and he had supplied her with money froir the money-lenders. She had fabricated the story of the lost nccklace to try and cheat him, but here were her signatures, and here was the baron's will, whicL she was about to try to disregard.- His will, saying that she would never marry, or, if she did, that she lost all her vast j estates. " Baroness Rukavina Eitz, what have i you to say to this? What is your defense?" said the prosecuting counsel, i " Onlv this!" said the barone>s, hold ing up in her hand the pearl-colored pearls and th.- emerald drops, the real necklace! On the judge's desk lay a fac-simile of the famous necklace; the ; two ornaments looked exactly alike. " Let an export be brought and saj which is the real necklace and which the imitation one, made i:i Paris, and used by me to lure this wretched and dishonest thief of a steward on to his destruction !" said the baroness, with a flash of Roumanian tire in her eyes. It was true I Neusiedler had been foiled; he had stolen a false necklace, which the baroness had had made in the Pine de la Paix. " i ic- has been stealing from .me for years; he has doubtless forged a false will of the baron, for I I have found the true one!" sail Ruka| vina Eltz. "I could not unravel the i net that he has thrown over me, but for i this happy thought of tempting him to ; steal some false jewels. Had he got the real on?-s his story would have been pos; sible. Now. I trust justice is convinced that it is a lie 1" A dreadful noise followed this speech of the spirited baroness. Neusiedler had fallcu down in a lit. Never more would j lie drink the yellow-tinted ruster; | never more would he return to the joys of crushing the peasantry of Soiulyo? of cheating the baroness. The baroness bad cheated him at last! Sold! sold ! | sold ! with false pearls and emeralds! It was a very grand wedding, that oi i the baroness to Sir Lvster Howard Lyster, who though only an Englisl: ! country gentleman, proved to be ricliei than she, and who made her a loving and a hunting husband. ' The emperor gave her away, and she wore the pearl-colored pearls with the emerald drops, now become historical " Ah ! Madame, dear baroness, please tell me where you have kept the rea jewels all 1 liese mouths !" said the piom j Madam Pasteur, almost kissing tin hern of her mistress* robes. The baroness was dressed f.?r travel ine;, as her faithful adherent knelt am ; asked this question. She had on tlx quilted satin red petticoat; the scaile I of old England. " Was it in the double-loekt d close j of the north tower?" "All, no! faithful Pasteur, tlioi I knowest Neusiedler had the key t< that!" i " Was it in the jewel case of thy grea ancestress, the Roumanian princess?" ' No. Guess again !"

To avoid spurious cholera, eholera-morbus, biliousness, fevers, sun1 stroke ami like disorders, it will pay for people to give some attention to the few simple suggestions here given. ' There is no subject perhaps more neg1 leeted tliun a study of tho rules of health applicable to habits and methods ' of life during the hot weather. Under the head, " How to Keep ' Healthy in Summer," a medical writer gives the following seasonable hints: As a general rule sunstroke attacks , those exposed to the direct effect of the sun, more particularly on the third or j fourth days of a heated term. With ' but little care and attention to a few rules, sunstroke?even among those ; whose occupations expose them to a great heat?ought to be a very rare occurrence. ? To persons when very thirsty, and as > a rule in very hot weather, lemon and water is a very pleasant drink. The or. dinary lemonade made with sugar, is I sweet and nice, but not always a healthy i drink. Milk for children, but not too > much. Care should be taken in obtain. ing milk free from poison. There is > perhaps no other article of diet so easily rendered unfit for use as milk. Exposed i even for a short time to impure air, it is I not alone spoiled, but is rendored abso lutely poisonous. It is a safe rule never to drink ice water, yet those who are in the habit of > drinking ice water it will not hurt so much as those who only occasionally s use it. People from the country on I celebration days drink ice water, ice i lemonade, and eat ice cream all day long, and often thus contract a disease i of the stomach of which they are never cured. Another pernicious iiabit wiiicn people Lave, is to drink ice water immediately after eating fruit. For example, a young fellow with his sweetheart ; goes to the ice cream saloon and not uni frequently they eat a dish of strawberries, a dish of ice cream and then drink a glass of ice water. Such violation of nature's laws will produce congestion i of the stomach, and the body becomes overheated by increased activity of the whole vital organism in an effort to save i life and rid the system of the intruder, 1 aud now this feeling of heat is attributed to the hot weather, when it comes i from a want of knowledge of physiology. ! I In the first place, people as a general : thing eat too much meat during the hot | I months. I have known many families i who fe.d their children, while yet quite ' | young, on salt bacon, salt fisb, fat gravies, butterand such complications of 1 | dishes, flavored with hot condiments, j and it is a great wonder that not more l die during the heated term. These | people who must work and who cannot avoi i the piercing rays of the sun, can I at least avoid all such articles of food ! which have a tendency to fire up the I system; and then, in the next place, everything should be carefully avoided that tends to check perspiration. In fact, when the skin becomes dry persons may drink water until they perspire in a free manner. When the skin is in good working order there is not much danger of becoming overheated. A straw ; hat is a good covering for the head, and a good plan to keen the head cool is to wear a leaf, previously dipped in water, in the crown of the hat. Every opportunity should be taken to remove the 1 bat when in the shade, as the fresh air 1 cools the head and removes any tendency there may be to a slight conges; tion of the brain. I ! WISE WORDS.

I'j-ostpss in Ocean Steam Navigation. } ft took just about twenty veers'time 1 to carry-he first experiments in ocean s, steam navigation to the practical success 5 ; which was emphasized when the first ('.murder left the Mersey. As early s " lfSl'J the Savaunah, a vessel of some I j three hundred tons burden, had struggled across the Atlantic in twenty1 six days. The thing could be done? lhal was clear, so far as the overcoming * of physical difficulties was concerned. But so Jong as a steamer, with her ter1 rible consumption ol' fuel and lier small 3 j capacity for cargo, took as long a time ' on the voyage as a well appointed ^ packet ship, commerce could have noth; ing to say to the matter. Brains were at work, however, both on the Clyde s and on the Avon, and the Clyde grudged the Avon none of the praise that rea ; suited from the fust voyage of the (ir-at. Wtstern from Biistol to New J , York in the unprecedented short time of thirteen days and a half. This wa* e in when the experimental period ' of steam navigation was drawing to a ' close. The day of the ship with pad^ | dies?and the Great Western, much a: | she surpassed her predecessors, was csr sentially this?was at an end. It wa.? * | on the Clyde, and for the Cunard mail r j service, that the idea of ocean steamei e was worked out. Stout, bluff-bowed u vessels they were, built with the solidity of frigates, and at a cost which nothing j but au extravagant subsidy could jusii fy.

Sir William Leslie, iu hi; admirable work on the "Social Life ant Manners of the Afghans," hays: "Theii poetry is rude and simple, full of collo quial phrases, and celebrates only th< primitive passions and most 1'amilia: surroundings of their daily life." 1 will bo observed that this remark i: eminently true, if the following son nets arc faithfully typical of i'ushtanel I literal uro. In translating, I have beei . | at fonifi pains to preserve a natural at mosphoieby substituting for the idiom of the Pushtu language such of on own colloquialisms as most nearly cor respond, in no other way could I pre serve the viva voce tone of the originals ( No. 1.?T<?

A Frowifit, inSsiibiur. me President's Relapse. 1 The relapso which the President suffered when he was supposed to bo on the road to recovery creti tort great-alarm among his physicians and anxiety throughout the country. The 2 following account of tho relapse and of the l operation which was performed on tho Priwi- [ rr dent wo take from Washington dispatches: ! Tho President was taken with a severe chill ' at 7 o'clock this morning while tho physicians 1 were examining and dressing his wound. They f l detected a tremor before tho President com. phincd and iustantly replaced tho bandages. The President clenched his hands and his face i ( becumo white. Ho looked anxiously at tho ! r y physicians, but said nothing. Slight con- [ , tractions of tho muscles then appeared, and ' 3 later on his jaws moved convulsively. Pres- ! v eutly tho muscles softened and lie breathed ' I heavily. The chill seemed to have passed ] t away, but in lets than a minute lie was | ( again suffering. Tho same symptoms j appeared as during tho first attack, | 1 but remaining longer. After another 1 t - interval of relief they appeared for the j , third time. The three "spasms lasted twelve 3 minute*. Morphia was then administered ami v the President became quiet, but for more than j ' an lio'ir afterward lie was restless, in some I v 3 pain, and in constant apprehension of another : 3 chill. It thus happened that it was 10 o'clock - bi'fore the physicians felt justified in removing j ' j the bandages to complete tho examination. : f The result was that tho President's condition j $ changed from pulse ninety-two, temperature s and respiration normal, at 7 o'clock, to pulso 3 11", temperature 101 and respiration twenty- ' J four at 111 o'clock. This change thoroughly 0 alarmed tho physicians. They had said during v " the early day's of the President's confinement , 1 that his safety depended largely upon tho pre- 11 0 volition of a chill, and that in case of a chill 1 there would be little hope for liim. Of late, ] 3 wliilo not positively declaring him out of , danger, they have given it to bo understood that recovery was practically assured. Tlieap3 pcarance o! a chill at this tiino was, therefore, ] wholly unexpected. Their first thought was that the indication pointed to a fatal termination, and di snatches were at once sent to Drs. Hamilton find A*;iicw, of New York and Phila- I ] 0 delphia respectively, the consulting physi- j ] 0 cians, urging their immediate attendance. ; B This was at!) o'clock, \vli<-n the pulse leaped to j ? 13(1. It subsided by twenty beats a liiinnte j < during the next hour. JJetween 10 and 1, liow- I 1 ? ever, fever set in strongly anil there was a sec- ' , 1 oikI chill at 11 o'clock. Nothing up to that I , time having been heard from the consulting I 0 surgeon*, a second dispatch was sent to them i t 1 and replies were received early in tho after- I ] * noon.- The pulse took an upward turn, and ; i by 1 o'clock a partial examination showed a ( 3 piilse ol 125 and temperature at 104, or live and 3 a half d gl ees above normal. Tho temperature j 1 p had lva elied so high a point but once before j , ' since the shooting. At this time, under an ins creased doso of morphia., tho President fell f - asleep. Thereafter during the afternoon ho | 1 slept fitfully. Tho pulse had fallen to 10G at 3 o'clock, and to 100 shortly boforo 4. Doctors Agnew and Hamilton arrived at 7:30 | ' 5 o'clock this evening. The President was then ' s sleeping under the iniluouco of morphia. There | :l was a consultation of the physicians lasting t p from 8 until 9, at which it was decided that , r ?u >? ?i... ?i,? > 1 ' UOKIIIlg COU1U 1IU ^allien l/J IIIOIUI ?UI6 i President to-night, and it would be time enough I 1 6 in tin; morning to niako an examination to j i 1 determino tho cauBe of the stoppage of the flow i , 3 Of tho J)U8. a To judge from tho information furnished inquirers at tho White House, all through tho 1 night the President had been resting quietly, i 0 but it wag subsequently learned thatono dis- j turbiug incident had been suppressed. A fourth s chill had attacked the President just before 1 midnight. This, however, soon passed oil 1 without immediate serioun consequences, so i * that it was not considered n .-. .-sarv to summon the sleeping physicians. They "all six ro3e 2 early, however, and gathered at tho White j House. Tho members of the cabinet were also < in attendance, as in tho early days of the injury, | ' and some other friends and privileged individuals, whoso faces have grown familiar to the ! doorkeepers within the last three weeks. All I 1 laces wore a 8ober and anxious look, and it | 1 needed no great intuition to see that a crisis j j had come. The physicians were in consultation for j ! nearly two hours with closed doors. The cabi- j ] B net officers and those nearest to the President i ; - were as much in ignorance as to the nature of | J their conforenco as anvone. and anxiety and , J impatience were written on tneir countenances, i f Now and then a cabinet oflicer would conic out j of the cabinet room to send a messago or hold I . a short conversation with a friend, but none of } M them could give more than a general and vague j , - answer to tho searching questions addressed to 3 | them by tho groups in waiting. Suddenly j i . J Governor Sheldon, of New Mexico, who arrived ) | I here a few days ago, drawn by anxiety for his ! ] l intimate personal friend, tho President, came I 3 I out of the private rooms with a smiling faco. j ' | He was liailol as the harbinger of hope. "What ' t j is the newt?" he was asked. lie replied that Dr. j i Agnew, of Philadelphia, had succeeded in lo* eating the pus cavity near the course of the | bullet, rather more than two inches bolow the ! akin, and al)out three inches from the ballet f opening, and had drained out a large quantity j > of pus. Moreover, the appearance of this n.atl' ter did not indicate the presence of LWd 1 3 poisoning. He sail!, also, that the patient h&d i borne tlio operation with fortitude, and with- ( out any symptoms of greatly increased febrila 3 excitement. No anesthetic was used, except S that Dr. Agnew moistened the spot wliero he i made the incision with ether spray. Govornor , Sheldon was followed by others who had the / ^ same cheering story to tell, and the little * crovul in tho private secretary's room could ' l j haraly keep from cheering, so sudden and ] 1 gratifying .'bad been tho change. Soon came f j. other friends and attendants with fuller par- j ticulars. 1 It seems that at tho consultation it was de- | 1 cided to make an incision, and while the oper- ' j ation itself was not one which involved groat | , surgical dextority the work was assigned by 1 courtesy tc Dr. Agu*w. The location of the j 1 i | TH\a cavity had been prettv well determined by j t r tno symptoms ooserveci on aaturciay ana wan- ; , day niorniiig. It was the unanimous opiuior , of tho group of physicians that the incisioc s should be made. Owing to tho condition ol e I si r' patient it was thought wiso not to admin , | The President was pimply told that theopor- i 1 j ati.>11 would be performed, so that ho might j r summon his powers of endurance. Any one ' 1 j who has had a boil or abscess lanced knows j ! tisi-.t it id not an agreeable sensation. The j ( re sident bore the operation with fortitude. ? j I!> evidently felt tlio pain, as his firm set fea' Mies showed, but no murmur escaped him. t 3 j Win n the lancet reached the pus cavity the re- j 3 I lief whs instant, and the President, sinking t back on. the pillows, said: "Thank ycu, doc- | , tor." It was then only the work of a few min- j ' j ) sites to draw otl the pus and establish anew ' l vent in working order. A Philadelphia dis- | c t ' patch navs: j j Dr. Agnew arrived fromWashington to-night. 0 | His explanation of the President's relapse is j t 7 | entirely different from that given in the bill- j f t ierins sent out from the Whito House. IIo I t .-:ivs that upon examination it was found that I r an abscess had formed. The bullet ha 1 frac- t r > tuivd or splintered a rib, and tho abscess had ' - f irmed about this splinter. This morning he ! f i m.idc an incision and successfully removed the t al scess. Since then the President has felt ' c . much Letter, and ho is now in as good a con- ! o dition as he was before the relapse. Unless an { t 5 al scess forms near the bullet, ho thinks that ! ? , the patient will gain in ftrength. Ho takes a i 5 Mi ite hopeful view of the situation, and thinks | ? f mat tin- President's pluck will pull iiim through i it ii'i serious complications arise. There are nc | {-ymptoms of such complications now. As tc j . j the bullet, all the phyeiciaua are in as much I Ii -loubt as ever. They have been unable to j ( l i-a'" it. It i/thought that there may bo some I I de velopments soon that will givo them an ink- j ^ ' iing of its truD position. ; |< f In an Alaskan Hut. } A correspondent, writing from a set- ! ' 3 tlexncnt in Alaska, says: The settlement j 1 presents the usual features so distinc- I ! 1 tive of an Alaskan or Aleutian village, j < 5 Mud lmts, "barrabaras" and some few j 1 ' frame bouses erected by the trading j 1 companies, a new church, the rival j ' stores and the dwelling houses of tho j 1 white residents form the village. I have | 1 read, seen and heard a deal of tbe odors j < and emanations that prevailed at North ; ' Beach, Butchertowu and Chinatown, I 1 I but of all the stenches my olfactory or- ! 1 caus have ever inhaled I certainly give j < i o ! the palm to the atmosphere of the inte- j ; rior of an Aleutian barrabara. i t " Follow mo into one of these huts," | J said my friend. " Stoop low, far the ; j . entrance is barely live feet. You notice | t I the heat. Pshaw! that's nothiug; only seventy to eighty degrees, and outside j * j at uearly fruezing point. These Aleuts j , ' i are used to ii. Certainly they suffer , ^' from the ex.remes. You see that by the j , ; prevalence of hacking, dry coughs that j 11 ! they are troubled with.

The interior, dimly 1 1 lit by a frame window, revealed a rough i table, one chair, three packing boxes, i j four stools and some flaring, gaudy, be- ] tinseled pictures of saiuts of the Greek church. A small looking-glass ami some I j " 1 cuts from a:> old illustrated paper adorn- j . ed the walls. Upon the table stood , I empty meat and frnit cans, a bottle of pickles, crackers and three or four cups and glass mugs that had been utilized ; * in the recent spree that the occupants i ,] had been indnlg.ng in. In a corucv of | the room stood a barrel, of which I j sought to learn the contents. My friend . r- invoked my imagination as to the liquid j contained in the vessel, but in vain. My i . perceptive powers were at a loss; all I , knew was that it emitted a rank, putrid I i odor. The natives, notwithstanding the cheapness of washing soap, use fluid to , - eliminate the mass of oil and greasy | matter from tlu-ir clothing. In oombi nation with the grease it forms by its alkaline properties a lather, and renders the cleansing of the garments easy. A partition of planking, with a curtain as 1 '/ a doorway, was the sleeping-room. Upon two shelves, like bunks on shipboard, and covered with a gayly covered bedit spread, reposed two Aleuts in c. semi- 1 comatose state; in a corner, uoon a ' , trunk, was a bundle of clothes in aheap, ' which on closer examination tnrred out 1 l-. to bo a woman. The trio wvro sleeping 1 off the fumes of a drinking bout, which . i had lasted three days, The only knowl1(> edge they had of our presence was when : the woman, roused by my guide, un- 1 I covering her face, looked up stupidly, I I" I and recognizing him, said Ung" with | a grunt, and dropped off again.

Here is a pleasant game called " Hunt the King," which would fill in nicely 011 some rainy evening. A circle' is made, and a piece of tape string is obtained sufficiently long to reach all around the inside. A ring is then slipped on to it and tho ends are tied together. Each of the players take hold of the tape with both hands, and the person whom lot or choice has marked out for the victim, standing in the middle of the circle, is next made to turn around three times (without shutting his eyes or submitting to any other disadvantage), and is then let loose to hunt for the ring. The object of the rest of the players is, of course, to prevent his catching it; and they pass it from one to another, covering it with their hands as rapidly as possible. If a constant backward and forward motion of the hand is kept up it will be found extremely difficult to discover where it is, so as to stop it before It disappears. As in the fairy tale, it will often be seen to gleam, but ouly to disappear when an effort is made to grasp it; and the victim's only chance is the greatest possible rapidity in opening and shutting every hand round the circle, to each of which he has immediate access as soon as he has touched it. It is unfair to pass the ring from under a hand after it lias been touched and before it has been opened, and the player in whose possession it is finally found becomes in turn the victim.

These transcribers, who were equivalent to modern printers, passed the copies over to certain artists, called libraraioli, who ornamented them with fanciful titles, margins ana terminations. It Seems Impossible That a remedy made of nticlt common, simple plants an hops, buehu, mundrake, dandelion, etc., should make so many and such marvelous and wonderful cures as Hop Bitters do, but when old and young, rich anil poor, pastor and doctor, lawyer and editor, all testify to having been cured bv then), you must believe and try them yourself and doubt uo longer.

When this important function is interrupted by the failuro of the jland to perform its secreting duty properly, jonstipation and indigestion result, bile is injected into the blood, and dyes the skin a dirty yellow; there are nausea, headache, pain in the right side, furred tongue and other annoying symptons. I'?r these and for their cause, Hostetter's Stomach Hitters is a far more rational and pleasant remedy than the drastic, violent purgatives sometimes taken. It relaxes the I towels without pain or annoyance, and imparts the requisite stimulus to the liver, promoting its activity, and that of its associate organ, the stomach. These combined beneficent effects are speedily appreciable. Of the 1,000,000,000 acres of cultivated land in the United States, only ?leven and a half per centum are used. The 2,580,408,320 bushels of wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye, buckwheat and potatoes raised last year were produced on 165,983,005 acres, and the cultivation is in most cases careless. !Mi*crn blciicmi. The most wonderful and marvelous success, in cases where poisons are Hick or pining away from a condition of misrr.dileness, that no one knows what ails them (profitable patients for doctors), is obtained by the use of Hop Litters.
