A wreck at sea is not the only place where a life line is of importance. There is a life line for the sick, as well as for the drowning man. It is Dr. Pieroe’s Golden Medical Discovery. It is not a cure-all. but it is a scientific medicine that goes to the fountain head of a number of serious and fatal diseases. When a man gets seriously sick, he can generally be cured by the right course of treatment. The treatment that cures many obstinate chronic diseases consists of pure air, good food, rational exercise, and the use of a remedy that will strengthen the weak stomach, correct the impaired digestion, invigorate the liver and promote the assimilation of the live giving elements of the food The “Golden Medical Discovery” accomplishes all these things. • A young man lay pale and motionless upon (what neighbors called) his dying bed. Disease of the lungs, liver complaint, kidney trouble, and pleurisy were fast hastening him to the grave. The doctors had given him up to die. The neighbors said. ’he cannot live.' ‘ Oh. I would not care to die,’ he said, ' were it not for leaving my dear wife and little child, but I know that I must die.’ A brother had presented him with three bottles of medicine, but he had no faith in ’patent medicines’; hut. after the doctors had gvien him upto die and he had banished every hope of recovery, he said to h& wife, ‘ dear wife, I am going to die. there can be no harm now in taking that medicine. I will begin its use at once.’ He did begin to use it and at first he grew worse, but soon there came a change. Slowly but surely he got better. To-day that man is strong and healthy and he owes his life to that medicine. What was the medicine? It was I»r. Pierce'.-Golden Medical Discovery, and I. Luther Martin, am the cured man Dr. Pierce. I thank you from the very depth of my heart, for rescuing me from the grave.” The foregoing is from Luther Martin, Esq., a prominent citizen of Lubec, Wood Co., W. Va.

Statistics show that the consumption of hay in the large cities is as large now as it ever has been. One of the latest journalistic ventures in Japan is a newspaper devoted to the interests of laboring men. A temperance association composed of members of the Six Nations is doing much to check intemperance among the Indians. The Boston dispensary, the oldest medical charitable foundation in New England, treated 26,291 new patients' last year. The time seems to be not far distant when English will be the language of the people inhabiting the entire valley of the Nile. “Imperial Delhi, the Clapham Junction of the East,” is the London Mail’s way of booming the capital of the mogul emperors. During the last 25 years the number of college students in the country in proportion to population has increased over 100 per cent. By the death of the widow of the last prince the name of the Venetian family Giovanelli that had existed since 1230 has become extinct. Originally the custom of raising the hat was a sign of submission, implying that the person uncovered placed himself at the mercy of his foe. Among tbo many mysteries of bird migration is the fact that oversea journeys are generally conducted in the darkness and invariably against a head wind. The empress dowager of China is 64 years of age. Iler title runs as follows; "Tzu - hsi - tuan -yu - kang - i - shao- yuchuang - chang - shoukung ■ chinhsien-cbang-hsi. ” No fewer than 30 of the 57 vessels removed from the shipping registers of the United Kingdom last year were sold to foreigners, Norway being the largest buyer. The aboriginal population of Australia is dying out so rapidly that it has been proposed to establish reservations where the remnants can be instructed in agricultural labor and cared for. Bombay is well supplied with water, the quantity available for each person being 40 to 50 gallons a day, while, judging by other Indian cities, ten gallons a day would be enough for all domestic purposes. The total amount of money coined by all the queen of England’s predecessors on the throne was 11,025,000,000. During the present reign the mint has turned out (2,250,000,000, including (790,4)00,000 in India—a record for all time.

thousand serpents of all sizes, which I they feed with birds and frogs brought to them as offerings by the natives. Surprise has been expressed that the Ashburnham first folio Shakespeare brought only §2,925 at a recent sale. It was supposed that not less than §4,000 would be realized from it. The reason given is that after it was catalogued two or three small blemishes were discovered, which were thought to detract from its value. Winston, N. C., claims the distinction of selling more pounds of leaf tobacco direct from the bauds of the farmer than any other loose market in the world. The present tobacco year the market will sell 2,000,000 more pounds of tobacco than it has ever sold before, the sales reaching to more than 18,000,000 pounds. In the chief cities of Japan several of the streets are devoted to the sale of certain lines of merchandise. In one street you will find nothing on sale but wooden shoes; another is devoted exclusively to wooden and willow ware, another to paper lanterns, while one street resembles a forest of bamboo, where the thousand of bamboo articles are sold. Something valuable has appeared in the way of a new time spoon. There is convenience attached to it. On its handle is a dial about the size of a quarter of a dollar, upon which are engraved numbers, after the fashion of the clock face. There is a little indicator in the center, which may be turned at will, to show when the next food or medicine is to be administered. Among historic trees growing in Philadelphia is the great willow which grew over the grave of Napoleon in the island of St. Helena. Six of such slips were brought over by Count Archambault.
