tm ii ' life;i>* a menagerie. 9enie of tlio Dnnctr? In Trnlnln? AnimnU ---Frrnkt ol Vicious Elephants. Scars from the teeth and claws of tigers, lions and hyenas mark the face, head and hands of William H. Winner, the trainer of wild beasts, who is now in Barnam's employ. For sixteen years Winner has lived night and day with the wild beasts he has been training, and the familiarity with danger, which led him at times to be careless in the presence of the beasts, has reBaited in the marks that, he will bear to his grave. In while hs stood talking to a friend too near a lion's cage in this city, the lion reached his paw through the bars and brought it down with terrible force npon his head. The animal's claws tore up the flesh and left a deep scar upon his forehead. Some years ago, in ?St. Louis, Winner leaned his hand against the bars of a cage containing hyenas, and while he stood explaining "the habits of these animals to some visitors, one hyena -i -iv i :~ cn.l NUHpTM-Cl Ull Ill.t limn Ullgvi null \*\ivoured it. "It is easier to t;irae a lion than a tiger," says Mr. Winner. "They respond better to kindness. There is no animal equal to the tiger. It is the genuine king among beaats. for it is not only more ferocious than the lion, but comparatively stronger. Of four lions tliat Barnum has in the cage with his show, two were born in captivity. Sydney, the one who escaped tome years ago, is named after his birthplace, Sydney, Australia. The lioness, which has two whelps now, is considered moet valuable property, as she is one of the few lionesses which raise their young in captivity." " But many whelps are born in this country?" "True enough; but they starve to death, as their mothejs refuse to suckle them." " Is there any difference in ferocity between males and females among wild beasts?" "In all animals of the cat species the femnlnsnro more \imms and dancerons than <I:c males." " Ertvo von trained any new animals lately ?" "Yes, there's Beecher, the Poonah bear, n very fanny animal, unlike any other bear I ever saw. It stands on its hind lops and gesticulates like a speaker. It lias a number < f amusing tricks, tut it was cosily taught." "How is tbo baby cb pbant'?" "It weighed i'GO pounds last June, j and I guess it weighs over a thousand i now. It weighed 213 1-2 pounds upon ! its birth in Philadelphia on March 10, ! - *~1S80, and when it was three months old i it weighed 235 pounds. We ure now j watching to fee how long before its ' mother weans it. We espect that it ! will be between two urd three years, if | it is not taken from her." " What food does it eat?" "It has never yet been fed,but Hebe, j its mother?by the way, one of the best i trick el.-phants in the world?is teach- i ingitio eat. The mother picks out I the hay for the baby, which minces at it. But what do you think is the baby's i favorite drink? Being a native Ameri- j can, vou think it is gin cocktail, bnt it j is not." "What then?" "Why, circus lemonade. It will [ suck lemonade all day up in its trunk." j Mr. H. H. Copeland is the keeper of Bamnm's twenty elephants. He says ! that while most animals will respond to kindness, the elephant is controlled by j fear, and he thinks there is no such ; thing as affection for its keeper with an ; elephant. Sometimes, after patient | training, when they seem to have been mastered so that thev understand every ! command and obey it like a man, they j become all at once sulky and obstinate, i In one of these tits it takes terrible ! pnnisbment to master them. It is j necessary to chain their feet, join the chains fo a rope, run the rope through ; a block and tackle, hitch another ele- j phant to the end, and throw the re- j fractory beast. "W hen they are thrown they have to be punished with prods | until they jield. Chief is the ugliest j elephant JJ^rnum has pot. At East j Saginaw two years ago Chief broke out of the lice of the street parade and started after a-conntrjman who was' passing in a twu-horse wagon. The elephant bellowed and lifted his trunk and steadily chased the i man for three miles. He caught up with the wagon, which he overturned into j a ditch, and was about to do further mischief when he was captured. Chief I rebels every time he has to go into a ! car, and he has to be prodded with a ! steel point before lie moves. Albert is ; ano.her elephant thut has the sulks. At ! ? Ottawa last month all of the elephants were turned into the river tc bathe, j and while Albert was in tlie water he j was seized with the sulks. When his ! keepers came about him he seized one j with his trunk and came very near j drowning him. .Tuno, one of the best- { trained of the elephants, after a recent performance in the ring, to take revenge I upon Professor Arsthgall, one of the i ring masters, squirted a pailful of dirty i water over his spotless linen from her trunk. To punish her a steel prod was ! run into her hind leg until she roared j with pain. jR. H. Dock rill, the horse trainer, j who is the husband ol Mte. Elise I Dock-ill, the I areback rider, relates j that a few years ago, when ho was with a circus near Basle, in Switzerld, one | of the elephants became mad, and j breaking away, bep-an to tear up every- : thing within its roach. No one dared j capture it, end its mad career was stopped only when a cannon was loaded | with grapeshot and tired into its body, i A curious noise was Leard in the cage I occupied by {ho seven anacondas and I the two boa constrictors in Barnaul's ! menagerie early one morning recently, j and the keepers who were aroused wit- ! nessed a magnificent tight. The ana- j condas had joined forces against the two ; boas, but the latter conquered. When j 11?i ii 1 i tile a/imurai ui uiu iiiiacuijuu^ waomueu j the argest boa covered it with slime ' and swallowed it bodily. The other ' snake was severed and divided between ' ' the boa8.

I TI1E HOME OF FAMOUS HORSES. ( eoruc 1? l<oi*lllHrd'n Stublo on I.one 1?Iimh1?Noted Jockey*. About three miles from Islip, L. I., is th?> summer residence and farm of George L. Lorillard. Eight hundred acres comprises the extent of tho place, and a very large portion of the ground is laid out in such u picturesque manner as to suggest fairyland itself. "What wa- at one time only a barren waste has been made, thanks to the expenditure of a vast sum of money and the employment of the highest skilled labor, to blossom like the rose. It is here that all the famous horses owned by Mr. Lorillard are kept during the greater portion of the year. The stable is a large, low wooden building, octagonal in shape and capable of accommodating about fifty horses. Each animal has a good-sized apartment to himself, ami the whole place is kept scrupulously neat. An army of small boys and young men are employed the year round to care for the stock. The largest of these emjfioyes are " rubbers" or guddens, whose sole duty consists in rubbiLg down the horses after they have taken their morning exercise. In one prrtion of the stable is a school-room, where, at certain hours duriug the day and evening in the winter months, the boys are taught the common English branches. The school is taught by a Mr. Brown, a pro'essional teacher, who comes from Islip for the purpose. Regular prizes are given for proficiency iu the vaiious studies, the j first prize being a gold watch. Exercising the horses is about the first thing i the boys are set to do when they arrive j at the farm After they have served ud apprenticeship of iivo years at ihis busi- j ness they are given a chance to become j horse jockeys, and that, it may be men- | tioned, is something they look forward to with the utmost intt-re-st. Before most of them can enter a race they are obliged to train ofi' some ot the superflons tlesh, to get them down to racing weight. Some gossip about a few of the jockeys who have acquired some reputation may not lie uninteresting. Tom Costello is a mero youth, and was taken from the House of Kefuge. The first, year he rede he made ?7,000, and he is said to be worth to-day ?30,000, which lie has "salted down" in gco;l securities. The regular price paid to jockeys for -?<>- 3 oin ruling a norse is n \uey ?iu uuu -, xv | if they lose. But if they happen to win j there is no telling what their earnings j will he, for the owner of the horse 1 almost invariably makes the rider a [ present of a considerable sum?ranging j all the way from $100 to $2,000. In the I case of Costello last season he rod? the j King at Saratoga. One gentleman who was backing the horse heavily offered : him S">00 if he would ride him whether ! lie won or lost. If I e won he was to get j SI,300. Costello won, and so received ! for a few minutes' work what is the j yearly salary of many a clerk in Brook-; lyn or New York. He is but fifteen I years of age, and is very quiet in his ! habits. Larry Ural is fourteen years ! old. He is the best light weight jockey ; there is. Matt Condor is also fourteen j years of age, and has been on the Loril- j lard farm sitce he was six yearu old. | Charley O'Leary is a light weight who 1 can ride at seventy-five or eighty j pounds. He is only twelve years of age and has won some very good races this | season.?Brooklyn Eiyl*. a j Pa>t and Present. Thero is a good deal of harmless j prattle about the superior health, the ! strength and the wisdom of our great- j grand fathers and great-grandmothers. ! It is a common thing to hear old people ! who ought to have better sense, talking ' about the good old times and the higher J mental and physical ability of those who lived long ago. While we have great respect lor tno cm ioiks, living uuu ; dead, we must not shut our eyes to the reality. The truth is that people live ! longer now than ever they did. The j medical profession knows more now ' than ever it did; and we could put into j the field to day a bigger army of cen* j tenariansthan our grandfathers could in ! the good old days when they were j young. Moreover, old people now are much more vigorous than the old people of! times past. Our people arc growing larger and stronger. It is not so very i many years since the American woman was a slight, delicate creature; now she ' is tall and portly. The numbers of sing- ! ularly tall and well-proportioned young | men and women to be seen in the streets | of New York to-day astonish the old j fellows who remember the boys and : girls of forty and fifty years ago. Some ; persons imagine tfcat this increase in I size is confined to the children of our ' foieign-born citizens; but this is a great j mistake, for the increase growth is gen- | eral. Certainly the mixture cf races I may have something to do with it, but, [ whatever may be the cause, it is a fact ; plainly to be seen by any observer. The greatest known feats ot physical strength and endurance are recorded to I the credit of the young men of this age; > and, indeed, it is hardly too much to as- 1 sert that the greatest runners, the great- j <?>t walkers, the greatest jumpers, the j greatest swimmers, the greatest oars- i men, the greatest weight-lifters, the j grCttlt'Slf xuiiar>tr>| liic ^icuivcu k,K>^\,+ *?9 i the greatest fenceis and the heaviest I men that ever lived are among the I living to-day. TLc-re scorns to be a j universal increase in the growth of humanity. The height, the chest measure-1 meDt and the weight of the j oldiers of i the immense armies of Europe of the j present time are at least as great as j they were amoug the picked men of the much smaller European urmies of fifty years past, clearly showing that the average man of to-day is as big and as strong as the picked man of loug ago. The fact stares us in the face that the grown-up sons and daughters of the old people of this country are, as a rule, bigger * and stronger than their' fathers and mothers were. An ordinary j sized Englishman finds considerable; difficulty in squeezing himself into the j armor of one of the Norman conquer- j ors of his country; but what could one ! of onr Western farmers do with it ? i Certainly he could pick it up and look I at it, but this is all. We have great respect for the memory of our grandfathers and greatgrand- j fathers, as well as for our grandmoth- j ers and great-grandmothers, but we ; cannot aTord to delude ourselves with ideas and notions that fact and figures i set aside. People are inclined to over- j estimate the measuie of wisdom and ability of the grand old fellows of days 1 gone by. It is an amiable fault, but still a fault; because the truth is not so. : ?1Vt'ir York Sim. mm I 7 hreateniug Children. T"? /?Amv>ftnT? TTT-I fli O mrvflUiV ! JjeiLI?

At the present rate of raiiroad build- j ing in the United States, railroad ties will soon become a subject of the I greatest interest to all concerned. As it rpquires about 2,500 ties to the j mile, or about the timberfrom ten awes 1 of woodland, and as the life of a tie iy | about eight years, it will he seen that | the demand will rapidly denude our ! lorests. To build u line of road across the continent, nearly 50,001) acres of timber is used in ties alone, ar.d this must be duplicated every eight years. Tne amount of timber required to build the i estimated number of miles of new road , in contemplation, together with the ! amount wanted to keep up the roads already built, increases tho number of j tits wanted annually in a ratio that j makes it impossible to calculate. 10 j the genius who can invent some kiibsti- j tute for wood, that will not add to the j cost of building and keeping up railroads, unbounded wealth awaits him. !

Yorktown Monument. A. Description or 1110 xonuomi iuvuu* meat. Tlio four sides of tho baso contain: First, an inscription dedicating tbo monument as a moniorial of the victory ; second, an inscription presenting a succinct narrative of tho siego, prepared in accordance with tho original archives in the department of state; third, tho treaty of alliance with the king of Franco; and fourth, the treaty of peuec nitli the king of England. In the pediments over these four sides respectively are presented, carved in relief: First, emblems of nationality; fcocond, emblems of war; third, emblems of i tho allianco; and fourth, omblems of peace, i Tho base is thus devoted to tho historical j btatemcnt; it explains the subsequent incidents | of the monumental composition, which are in- j tended solely to appeal to tho imagination. The immediate result of the historical events written upon the base was the happy establishment of a national union of thirteen youthful, r'ree and independent States. To celebrate this joylnl union the sculptor has represented upon the circular podium which arises from the base a solemn danco of thirteen typical female figures, hand in hand, encircling the drum, \\ liieh bears upon a bolt beneath their feet tho words: '"One country, one constitution, ono destiny." It is a symbol of tho birth of freedom. Tho column which springs from this po- i dium mi.v be accepted as the symbol of the greatness aud prosperity of the nation after u j ?! r.vnprionce. when thirtv-fitrht ! five r.ii<l independent States ure shining to- [ gether in mighty constellation. It is tho tri- j umphnnt sign of the fulfillment of tlic promise i - an expression of the strength ami beauty c f j tho Union; bat the powerful nation does not ' forget the remote beginning of its prosperity, | and in the midst of its shining stars bears aloft th" shield of Yorktown covering tho branch of peace. As the existence of the nation is a proof of the possibility of a government of the people, by the people, for the people, tho column thus I adorned culminates with Liberty herself, starcrowned, and Yiclcoming the people of all nations to share equally with us the fruits of our peace and prosperity. The principal dimensions of the monument, taken from the drawing and model in the possession f Colonel W. I'. Craighill, of Baltimore, Lngineer Corps, United States army, who, by direction of tho secretary of war, supervised its construction, and divided for the purpose of a plain understanding by the reader into: 1, tho "Base;" 2, tho "l'odium," or drum supporting tho thirteen dancing liguros; 3, the "Shaft," or upright column; 4, tho "Capital," resting directly on the final course of the column; 5, tho "Pedestal," which supports the figure surmounting the monument; and G, tho "figure," are in height as follows: Base, 23 feat S inches; podium, 14 feet r. inches ; shaft, 35 feet 1 inch ; capital, 5 fee1; <1 inches ; pedestal, 3 feetI) inches; figure, 111 feet 4 inches; making the total height from the bottom of the base, resting on tho surface of the ground to the top of the figure, J)5 feet: G inches.

A correspondent gives the following Interesting account of the Atlanta (Ga.) exposition: Oglethorpe park was chosen as the place for the exposition. It is fifty acres in extent and ? was arranged for the largo agricultural fairs 1 and races which Atlanta has had for ten years J past, and lies just outside tho city on the line of tho Western and Atlautic railroad. The main building is a huge structure, with ' two cross sections, tho longer 720 by 80 feet ( and tho shorter 400 by 80 feet. Two annexes ? have been added, the ono 70 by 70 feet and the \ other 100 by 50 feet. Tfiis building is ol light, . giaceful frame-work filled with glass. The 1 mterior comprises exhibits in the various mechanical arts. Down its broad, long aisles there are superb views, and tho ear is stunned ( by the whirl of 10,000 wheels turned by eight lines of shafting. Many of tho displays hero . duplicate those at the Centennial, while many J new inventors show tho progress of American ( science. Cotton is shown in every stage from j the lint on tho seed through all kinds of gin inng, patent metiious 01 spinning, weu iu looms of ttie latest improvement, and passing finally to a variety of fabrics from tho coarsest unsized osnabnrpi to the soft, fleecy article tliat nearly resembles silk. ] The manufacturers of spool cotton are bittor rivals and liavo spent thousands of dollars to ' show their processes of manufacture, and will ? each give away thousands of dollars' worth of ( goods during tlio exposition. Tho exhibits in , silk are as various as those in cotton. Somo ot tho great dry goods houses of tho North and .West are here with ornate cases filled with ' fashion's latest follies. 1 In tho departments of machinery used in making cotton there is a most interesting picture of progress. There are in operation machineswhich were in the brain of the inventor } only a few weeks ago. They aro turned by J three engines, each competing for the premium < in its line, the Harris-Corliss, tho Brown Automatic and tho Porter-Allen High .Speed. Machinery has been placed in nearly all tho main buildings. TLo art and industrial pavilion, which is 310 feet long and iifty-fivu leet wide, with two largo annexes, is one of tho most attractive of tho additional buildings. In porcelain, china and cutlery thero is a veiy fine display. Horticultural hall, 100 by eighty feet, is blooming with tho products of tho florists' art The department ot minerals and woods is 300 feet long and 100 feet wide. Georgia has hero a special display of the richness of her mines. Gold specimens from tho region around D.ililonoga, where Noithem and Southern capital is invested, and copper from tho samo neighborhood are exhibited in great quantities. Alabama and North Carolina aro competing with Georgia very strongly. North Carolina displays rough and polished prccious stones, though the display in iron ore and its products SHOWS inat 1110 principal uuutia lunuiu miiiaiu development in that section havo been in that direction. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fo exhibit the same collection which they had at the Centennial The department of public comfort is admirably fitted with teleyraplw, telephones, parlors, refreshment stands and other conveniences. Near it stands the main restaurant. The judges' hall contains tho offices of tho authorities of tho exposition, and adjoins a very large public hall, where seats for over 2,000 people are prepared. Ona largo building contains nothing but carriages, buggies, harness and b.cycles. Another is full of farm implements" Tho Baltimore Fertilizer Exchange and the Augusta Fcriilizc-r Exchange havo each constructed neat buildings in which they aro exhibiting their brands of guano. In another bui!d:ng there is a display of wool and woolen fabrics grown and mado in tho South. Tho Southern cotton mills, which of lato yeare have become very enterprising, make extensne exhibitions. Florida is practically represented by her State government, Tho 8tate Agricultural society, aided by tho legislature, has n:ado a creditable display. A building of beautiful wood was constructed in Florida, brought hero in sections and put together on the grounds, and is filled with a display of Flori- la's fruits and agricultural products. Atl in!a has a population of ibout 40,000, exclusi\ e of several populous suburbs. It is used to crowds. The two principal hotels bavo rosnectivelv "00 and 125 rooms, and there are a dozen .smaller ones. An exposition hotel, with 400 rooms, has been erected just outsido the ground*. It has tho capacity of entertaining 1,000 people, and is fitted with gas, electric lights, electric hells, etc. Just opposite this hotel an enterprising New Yorker has established a pavilion hotel, composed of new and well-furnished canvas tents, where 1,500 peoElo can he cared for. Thero are several small otels just oponod in tho city and on tho suburbs near the grounds. Just about tho main building is n, field of two acres in which appears a various crop. Thero arc over a dozen varieties of cotlon, some open, some half grown and some quite young. Next to these aro growing sugar cane, rice, millet, peanuts, hemp, potatoes of many species and a dozen other products. Just ontsido tho grounds aro the trial crop3 of cotton, for tho best of which a special preniium.of $2,500 is offered. Tho widely differing methods of farming in tho South are t litis to bo tested in a way wh eh will bo of practical value to the farmers. For tho best bale of single cotton raised anywhere thero is a special premium of ?l,lo'(?, and there aro already over flftv entries. Tho full list of premiums in money and medals will amount to nearly $20,000, and will cover every department in which there is an exhibit ODDITIES The New Zealand method of courtship is by touching noses.

The eolitary wasps sting their victims in such a manner as to pierce the ganglia, and thus, without killing them, almost deprive them of all power of movement. One species of sphex, which preys on a large grasshopper, after having almost paralyzed her victim in thd usual manner, throws it on its back, bends the head so as to extend tho articulators of the neck, and then, seizing tho membrane between tho head and the body with her jaws, crushes the ganglion?a marvelous instinct. The shortest of mankind are tho Bushman and related tribes in South ' Africa, with au average height not ex- . ceeding four feet six inches. The tallest race of men is less than one-fonrth higher than the shortest, a fact which seems surprising to those not used to | measurements. In general, the staturo | of tho women of any race may be taken j as about one-sixteenth less than that of the men.

Helmholtz showed that a wavo o thought would require about a minute to traverse a mile of nerve, aud Hirsch | fouud that a touch on tho fuce was recognized by tho brain, and responded to by a mauual signal, in the seventh of i a second. Ho also found that the j speed of sense differed for different | organs, tbe sense of hearing being re- I spoD led to in a sixth of a sccond; j | whihi that of sight required only one- I j fifth second to be felt and signaled. In j: all these cases the distances traversed j was about the same, so tho inference is J that images travel more slowly than j sounds or touch, It still remained, i however, io show the portiou of this j interval taken up by the action of the j brain. Professor Donders, by a very delicate j apparatus, demonstrated this to be ! about seventy-five thousandths of a sec- ! ond. Of the whole interval forty thou- J fundths are occupied in the simple act j of recognition, and thirty-five thou- j sandths in the act of willing a response. | ; When two irritants were caused to . operate 011 the samo sense one twenty-} fifth of a second was required for the j : person to recognize which was the first; | j but a slightly longer interval was re- ! ' quired to determinate the priority in the case of the other senses. These re- ! : suits were obtained from a middle-aged j man, but in youths the mental opera- i tions are somewhat quicker than in the j mliiH T!io urmcn of manv exneri- 1 ments proved that a simple thought j occupies one-fortieth of a second.

' ] Fishing for Alligators. I<'i3liing lor alligators in me koic mua of an uncovered lake bottom is a form j of the angler's sport which probably j Isaak "Walton in his most halcyon mo- i ments never dreamed of ; bnt it is pre- 1 cieely this which has been going on near Natchitoches, La. Sibley lake, just west of that city, has become almost en tirely dry dnring the summer's drought, ] and the alligators which infest it have 1 sought solace and refreshment by bury- ing them8olves deep in tho moisture of i the lake bed. Their whereabouts are 3 easily discovered by the huge burrows, tho entrances of which have been worn smooth by tho passage of their ugly denizens. A party of m*n from Natchi- ] tocheo recently visited the spot for the ! purpose of extracting a few of these alligators from their soft places, i Their method of procedure was to 1 thrust a long iron rod with a hook at j 0110 end into one of these caverns and , stir up the occupant, who would naturally close his ponderous jaws upon the intruder. With that accomplished nothing remained but to draw the reptile to the surface and dispatch it with j a liatfthflt. In this manner six alliea-! tors, one of which was nine feet long, were killed in a short time. Witchcraft in (jormauy Accusations of witchcraft and maltreatment of supposed witches bv the illiterate country people are still things of frequent occurrence in Germany. A recent number of the Danziger Zeitung < tells of an incident of this kind in the village of Stangenwalde, where an old j lone woman was accused of having bewitched an invalid widow, because, as the latter was driving past the other's hut, her horse suddenly came to a stop. This wag assumed to be owing to the old woman's occult influence, and to ' prove that the widow's illness had been caused by her. The old creature, fright- j ened out of her senses, was dragged to the widow's bedside and subjected to > various torments to coerce her into ex- 1 pelling tli3 devil from her victim. This j mode of procedure failing, she was com- j pelled to inflict cuts in three of her Angers and permit the widow to suck her blood, after which the invalid im- , mediately began to feel better. It was i then proposed to hung the witch, and a 1 rope was fastened around her neck, ! while the crowd beat her about the J head and face with slippers and shoe- i maker's lasts. She was finally rescued ' but in a dangerously injured condition, j 1.-UU&UJ(ix.x.j .Lmuy rrcisauu jiiuciiuruot 111:1, j ( Abandoned. . < We perceivo'by one of our Massachu- ! setts exchanges that: Dr. Lorenzo Waite, of "Westfield, an eminent physician of Berkshire county, strongly indorses St. , Jacobs Oil.

The custom of a bridegroom'fcbeteg fctended on his marriage by a friend or elative, who is styled his "best man," 0 practiced at weddings in the present ay, is of great antiquity, descending rom onr Saxon ancestors. In their [me marriages were always celebrated 1 the houso of the bridegroom. On the ! ay before the wedding, all his friends nd relations, having been invited, arived at his house, and spent the time a feasting and in preparing for the pproaching ceremony. Next came the ridegroom's company, mounted on orseback, completely armed, who proeeded in great state and order, under lie command of one who was called be forcwistamau or foremost man, to eceive and conduct the bride in safety o the honse of her fntnre husband. Tli6 ride, in her tnm, was attended by her ;uardian and other male relatives, led 1 iy a matron, who wuh called the bride- I roman, and followed by a c?mpany of ' onng maidens, who were called brideaaids. The Saxon forewistaman of the liuth contnry is the prototype of the 0 English " best man" of the nineteenth. 8 ,) When the Trouble Heirlni 3 tbo timo to grapple with dyspepsia. To ?1aw such a remorseless foe to health and com- J >rt to take undisputed possession of the t tomach, is to surrender needlessly the zest of c iff, and lecomo & voluntary martyr to nn? peakablo pains and penalties. No malady is ' loro difficult to copo with, none in its chronic m so obstinately resists medication. But ackled at its inception with Hostetter's , i:oinach Bitters, dyspepsia spee:lily vanishes, ariying with it (ho multifarious symptoms rhich attend it, and which in their chameleon lianges inspire more erroneous beliefs regard113 their cause than those of any other diwase. Vind on the stomach, heartburn, water brash, ulpitations, pain after eating, a sinking eensa- j! ion at mo pit 01 me utomacn uemroeu memo; bene and many other harassing indicia of the :oinplaint make a speedy exit when the great itomachic is persistently resorted to. It imiroves the appetite, strengthens the nerves, lountoracts the effects of fatigue and expolure, aud is a reliable antidote to the poison of nalaria. England has a mourning reform aslociation. It was started in 1875 by ,hree women, and it now nnmbers 450 nembers. It proposes to do away with ixed enstoms or rules of mourning, berond a black band around the arm or a jlack scarf, and to leave to the most invested the privilege of regulating iheir habits and styles of dress in time >f bereavement as well as in seasons of pleasure.
