The Dipper.

A writer in the “ Contributors’ Club ” of the August Atlantic Monthly tells of his dismay when, in speaking to some English friends about the star-group of the “ Dipper,” and of its being the only one of the constellations whose appearance really conforms with the name, he was met with the blank query : “ What is a dipper?” “Here,” he says, “were people with whom I could- talk for an hour about Locke, Berkeley, and Hume, who didn’t know, after all, what a dipper was !” When he tried to explain, the result was : “A ladle! We understand. Oh, yes. A ladle!” “In this case,”the writer adds, “ not only the words but the things varied ; that is, they don’t have ‘ dippers, ’ strict-’ ly so-called, in England.” When Prof. Proctor was asked by the editor of St. Nicholas to write a paper on the constellation of the “ Dipper,” he appeared embarrassed for a moment, and then said : “Oh ! You mean the ‘ Cleaver.’ We call that constellation the ‘ Cleaver ’ in England.”

Liberate the Impurities of the System. This can easily be done through the instrumentality of the searching blood depurent and alterative, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which incites those scavengers of the body, the kidneys and the bowels, to vigorous action. The first-named organs secrete impurities—where such exist—from the blood, which would otherwise poison it, and it is the office of the bowels to carry off the useless portions of the food rejected during the process of digestion, agd which, if retained, interfere with digestion and bilious secretion. Rheumatism and gout, both products of acid elements in the circulation, are remedied by the bitters, which will likewise be found a prompt though gentle cathartic. Both kidneys and bowels are invigorated, as well as stimulated, by this famous medicine, which possesses tonic properties of the highest order.
