Brought Back.

The New York Tribune gave last summer many instances of the effect of the pure influence of the country upon the poor little city waifs who were sent there through its agency. None of them were more touching, however, than an incident which occurred a couple of years ago. A kind old farmer who brought his butter and poultry into one of the markets of a great city was touched by the haggard, appealing face of a young woman, who sometimes bought a trifle from him. “Have you any family to support ?” he asked. “No, none; I am quite alone,” was the reply. “You look miserable. Come out with me and stay a day or two. My wife will make you welcome.” The woman, who had probably npt heard a word of genuine unselfish kindness for years, stared at him, astonished, and then half consented. When she turned away, some of his neighbors at the stalls told him £hat she was a woman of the worst character. “I can’t help that,” stoutly said the Quaker. “She is one of God’s creatures, and she is dying for something which I can give her.” He took her home, and kept her for a couple of weeks. Nothing in the wretched woman’s behavior would have betrayed her character while she was in the farm house. She was humble, submissive, anxious to help in the work of the house. She seldom spoke, but crept out constantly to sit on the grass beside a stream beyond which stretched a mountain range, looking at the trees, the open sky, the cloudy heights, with eyes full of unutterable sadness. At the end of the time she returned to the city with but few words of thanks. A week had* scarcely passed when she came again to the farm-house door, and sank down exhausted, having walked all the way in a driving storm. “For God’s sake,” she cried to the farmer’s wife, “don’t drive me away! If I can stay here, I can be a human being and not a beast! There’s something in the country that makes me feel as if, after all, I was like other women. ” The good Quakers took her in. She lived but a few months, but in, that time, through their teachings and that of the sweet splendor of Nature about her, she came closer to Him who revealed Himself long ago to the penitent Magdalene.—Youths’ Companion.

Crazy Paul.

Paul I. of Russia vwas so eccentric as to justify his subjects in thinking him crazy. As he was a despot, his whims had to be carried out; and, when they became so numerous as to annoy the nobles, they put into execution that unwritten law which tempers Russian despotism—assassination. One of his whims is given in this anecdote: That crazy Emperor, Paul I. of Russia, during one of his drives, met a soldier whose countenance pleased him. “Com 0 into my carriage, Lieutenant,” Said Paul. “riiru, x am only a private.” “The Emperor is never mistaken, Captain.” “I obey your orders, sire.” “Very good, Commandant. Take your seat by my side. What lovely weather we have to-day!” “Sire, I dare not venture —” “What are you saying, Colonel?” Unluckily for the new-made Colonel, the Emperor had to be back at the palace early that morning. If the drive had continued a few minutes longer, his chance companion would have been made Field Marshal. As it was, he was obliged to content himself with the grade of Major General. But, a few days afterward, the same poor Avretch, picked up by the Emperor in exactly the same Avay, had to go through the same gradations of rank, only in the reverse direction, and in half an hour, from being a Major General, had to become a private soldier again. On another occasion, Paul, Avhile while viewing a regiment Avhiclx did not please him, gave theAvord of command, “Right about face! March to Siberia!” And the whole regiment, officers and men, were obliged to set off by forced marches for Siberia. It was only when they got lialf-Avay there that Count Rostopchine obtained their .recall.

A Boy of the Period.

A young Austin man recently married a rich widow, who died shortly after the ceremony and left a hereayed widower and a large amount of property. One day he was visiting at the house of a friend who had a family of four little boys, and the widower began quizzing them. “Well, George, what are you going to be when you grow up?” he inquired. “I guess I’ll be a poet,” answered the little fellow. “And what are you going to trv and do, Willie?” “I’m going to be an artist. ” “An artist, eh? And what do you think you will adopt as a profession, Eddie?” “Pa says he’s going to make a minister out of me. ” “That’s good, very good. Now. Frankie, let me hear what you intend to be?” “I’m going in soy money.” “Going into a money-making business. Well, what is it?” “I’m gomg to be a rich widower, I am. ” —Texas Siftings.

The Central Pacific Snow-Sheds.

On the topmost height of Red mountaiu a slight prominence, that looks no larger than a bushel basket, can be seen, which is a telephone station established by the Central Pacific railroad company. This is a house occupied by two watchmen, who are on the lookout for fires in the snow-sheds. They can take in the whole line of snowsheds with their natural sight and by the aid of glasses. If they observe a fire in or near the sheds on any part of the line, they immediately notify the station at Cisco by their telephone line, and forthwith the information is sent by telegraph to the railroad station at Sac- . ramento, and in a minute or two the order is sent up the line to Blue Canon and the Summit, where fire trains are constantly on duty, to proceed to the 4

point where the fire is prevailing. The fire train consists of a locomotive, with two tank cars filled with water, which is thrown by hose "with a steam force pump. When the fire trains are sent out they have the road, all other trains near the point of danger being stopped. The services of these fire trains are frequently called upon, but they are so prompt in action that they generally subdue the fires before much damage is done. The system is as near perfection as can well be made, so that any great destruction of the sheds is now nearly impossible. —Reno (Nev.) Gazette.

Poison Sumach.

There are at least eight species of sumach: (1) Smooth, (2) Staghorn, (3) Mountain, (4) SAveet, (5) Venetian, (6) Poison Ivy, (7) Poison Oak, (8) Poison Sqmach. The general scientific name is Rhus, to which is added, for each, a specific scientific name. As only the last three are poisonous, we do not need to speak further of the others. Poison ivy (Rhus radicans) is a vine from five to forty feet high, and having strong fibers with which it attaches itself to walls and trees. It is liable to be mistaken for our woodine (American rvy). But while the latter has fi\ r e leaflets and a watery juice, the former has only three leaflets and a milky juice. Poison oak (Rhus toxicodendron) is a shrub from one to three feet high. This, too, has a milky juice, with its leaves ananged in threes. The leaves are also downy on the under side and deeply notched, like the oak. The flowers are small, yellowish-green, and arranged in spikes. The berry is oval and pale-brown. Poison sumach (Rhus venenata) is also known by the names of dogwoody varnish-tree, swamp sumach, poison asluand poison elder. Some also apply the name poison sumach to poison oak. It groAvs from ten to fifteen feet high. It is often mistaken for true elder. But while the latter has flat clusters of white flowers and black berries, the former has long clusters of greenish flowers and greenish-yellow berries. It also differs from common sumach by haring leaves with edges perfectly smooth, while the leaves of the other serrated, or saw-like. — Youth’s Companion. *

A Woman Silent for Eighteen Years.

A well-authenticated instance has appeared in a Western paper of a castaway woman Avho for eighteen years subsisted upon an island off the main coast of California. The fact of her existence was discovered by a in ah who went from the mainland to hunt for otters, and who found footprints deeply imprinted in the ground. He was unable to folloav lip the footmarks which awakened his curiosity for nearly three years, when a companion, who Avas with him upon an expedition, suddenly came upon the object of their search. The woman had made for herself a small circular inclosure of brushAvood, Avith an opening on one side, and she was clothed in a garment made of the skins of a species of duck indigenous to the island. Her food during her eighteen years of captivity, if her statements are reliable, was a sort of wild cabbage and the roots she found close at hand. When rescued she could not express herself in any of the Indian dialects, and the supposition was that she belonged to a Northern tribe. She was still pleasing in expression, although Aveather-beaten and bronzed from exposure.

Burning the Dead.

When the Belgian chemist, Mr. Creteur, Avas charged Avitli the purification of tlie battlefield at Sedan he Avas compelled to resort to cremation in order to dispose of the heaps of half-covered bodies. Not one case of illness occurred among his 220 Avorltmen, though they were at work under a blazing sun. After the battles of Worth and Gravelotte and the tAvo sieges of Paris, the bodies of the slain were cremated, and none of the usual contagious disorders occurred. In Russia, after the retreat of the grand army, corpses were burned wholesale, and later, before Paris, 4,000 were cremated with a similar avoidance of bad effect. It is said if a similar method had been adopted in Egyjit, the cholera Avould not have broken out at Dainietta.

Whisky in a Tree-Top.

A witness in a “moonshine” case, tried in Louisville, Ky., told how the whisky trade is carried on down on Green river: “I wanted a few gallons, and went to Davis and told him how much ‘I wanted. ” “Did Davis let you have the whisky ?” the prosecutor in-* quired. “Oil, no!” the witness replied. “Did you take it away from the still yourself?” “No, indeed.” “Well, how did,you get it?” “I went away and returned in about an hour and found the liquor in a tree-top.” “Who put it there?” “Can’t say.” “Who did you pay for it ?” “Don’t know. All I know is that I got my liquor.” Oct West, the cellar is the place to go in time of a cyclone* and when a man has a barrel of cider in the cellar, it's surprising how many times a day he thinks there’s a cyclone.

What Is Money

Weighed against that health it so often fails to buy? Dross indeed. While we can none of us claim a total exemption from the greatest of all ills to which flesh is heir—ill health—we may do much to lessen the chances of incurring it, and this not alone by the adoption of such sanitary measures as are to be found in daily exercise, regular hours, prudence in eating and drinking, and a wholesome diet, but also by resorting to the judicious preventive medication when the Tsvstem is threatened by unhealthful influences. For instance, residents or sojourners in malarious localities should use Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters as a defense against chills and fever, and persons who incur much out-of-door exposure should employ it as a safeguard against rheumatism. Travelers in the tropics find it invaluable also as a means of arresting liver complaint and constipation, and counteracting the debilitating influence of a torrid climate. An English magazine is speculating as to “the kind of clothes ghosts wear.” We always supposed they wore spirit wrappers.— Norristown Herald. An effective medicine for kidney diseases, low fevers and nervous prostration, and well worthy of a trial, is Brown’s Iron Bitters. The coinß paid for beer are bar nickels of society.

FORTY BILLION GERMS.

▲ Wonderful Theory that Concerns the Welfare,. Happiness, and life of Everyone. In his quiet and cosy library at the close of a busy day sat a gentleman and his wife, he absorbed In a new book and she in the newspaper. Quickly glancing toward her husband, she asked, at a certain point In the article. “John, what is the germ theory?” “The germ theory—well—yes; Just look In the encyclopedia under ‘Germ,’ that will explain it so much better than.l can.” Accordingly his wife opened the book at the word named and read: Germ Theory of Disease —A theory advanced by the ablest and best investigators and scientists of the times. It supposes the surface of the earth, the air and the water to be inhabited to a greater or less extent with a peculiar growth of the lowest form of fungi—commonly termed bacteria, whose power of reproduction, under favorable conditions, is so great that a single germ will increase to 15,000,000 In twentyfour hours’ time, and unchecked In Its Increase would grow to a mass of 800 tons, in tiiree days’ time, if space and food be furnished. There Is no condition under which it can be said to be absent, unless.it be from fire or air flittered through cotton-batting in numerous layers. , A single drop of water containing a germ, put into water boiled, flittered and thus freed from bacteria, will grow murky in a day or two from the development of new germs. When it is considered that it requires about 40,000,000,000 to weigh one grain, some remote idea can be had of the capacity of germ reproduction. Prof. John Tyndall, In a late work, elaborately treats of the influence of germs in the propagation of disease and charges upon this cause the inception and development of \ r ery many of the ailments most injurious to man. Prof. Pasteur, an eminent French savant, has carried his original and beautiful experiments so far, and from them deduced such practical results as very greatly to diminish the number of cases of anthrax among sheep and chicken cholera among fowls —proving his theory that these are essentially and actually germ diseases. These germs are carried into the system through the lungs, the stomach, and possibly the skin, but through the lungs chiefly. Once In the system, they begin to develop, poisoning the blood, Invading the nerve centers, disturbing the functional activity of the great organs of the body and inducing a general impairment of the vital processes. They are the cause of fevers, rheumatism, Bright’s disease of the kidneys, pneumonia, blood-poisoning, liver disease, diphtheria and many other ailments. Lately Prof. Koch, a famous German physician, has proved that consumption of the lungs is due to this cause —the presence of a peculiar germ. When the circulation is bounding, the nert'es'elastic and the system all aglow with life and energy, the germs seem to develop poorly, if at all. But with weakened nerves, poor digestion or mal-assimilation of food or a lowering of A'itality from any cause, a change ensues, and in this impoverished and Aveakened fluid the germ finds a genial home and develops until symptoms of disease are distinctly manifested. This Is seen in the every day experiences of all. The healthy man resists the influences around him and does not take cold, while those whose systems have become weak from any cause readily contract colds. This is on the same principle as the gyrm theory. The germs attack any weakened spot in the body, and fixing themselves upon it, begin their propagation. It is plain therefore that it is only by fortifying the Avoak portions of the body that the gerni6 of di6ease.can be resisted and driven from the system. But this has proved almost an impossibility heretofore,and It has been the study of physicians for years how best to accomplish it. Within the pa6t few years, however, a preparation has been attracting great attention, not only throughout the entire land, but among the medical profession and scientists generally, which is based upon this theory, and it may safely be said, no remedy has ever been found which can so successfully place the system in a condition to resist the germs of disease as AVaruer’s Safe Cure. This article is unquestionably the best and most efficient that has ever been discovered for this purpose, and “John, say, John! does the encyclopedia advertise Warner's Safe Cure?” “I should not wonder, dear, it’s a grand remedy, and that pamphlet we received the other day stated that Dr. Gunn, of the United States Medical College indorsed it. At all events the wonderful cures it is accomplishing entitle it to be honorably noted among the great discoveries of the present century.” ' However the facts above stated may be, the truth remains, that the germ theory of disease is the correct one and that the great remedy mentioned is the • only one which has ever been found that can put the system in a condition to kill these germs before they obtain a hold upon the body, and undermine the life.

Just the Same.

“Moses,” he called out to his son, who sat reading the paper, “vhas a war coming in Europe?” “No, s adder; dot vhas all settled oop. ” “Vhas der cholera coming?” “No, sadder.” “Do you read of a sheep epidemic dot kills ’em all off und brings up der price of wool ?” “No.” “Vhas der cotton crop all busted?” “No, it vhas fine.” “Vhas der some more earthquakes, floods or cyclones ?” “Not one.” “Vhell, Moses, it vhas all right just der same. We begin to-morrow to mark up all goods 20 per cent, on account of der small-pox, which may kill off all der beoples next winter.” —Wall Street News. Eive million acres more public land was taken up or sold last year than the year before. When we consider the number of human beings that die with Consumption every year, the importance of a medicine that will cure all Throat and Lung Diseases that tend to this complaint, and even to the destroyer after it has indicated its presence in the system, must be admitted to be beyond all estimate. This wonderful power is claimed to be possessed by Allen’s Lung Balsam, which is introduced to the suffering public after its merits for the positive cure of such diseases have been fully tested. The formula from which It is prepared is referred to by the lead ng medical journals as being equal to any preparation that can be made up for such diseases by the medical faculty. The Balsam Is, consequently, recommended by physicians who have become acquainted with its great success. For sale by all medicine dealers. Rule for church fair oyster suppers— Twice one is stew.

TELEGRAPH ITEM.

Utica, June 9,1883. * Frakk W. Hoinua, clerk of the American District Telegraphoo„ says: “Haying had occasion to use a medicine for kidney trouble with a lame back, I was recommended by one of our Utica druggists to use Hunt's Bemedy, as he had sold a good deal of it to many of our leading families here with great success for kidney, liver and urinary troubles. 1 purchased some, and have only used three bottles. It has cured me, and I can truly recommend Hunt’s Remedy to any ons in need of the best medicine for these complaints' I send you a statement of my case. I will write you with a double purpose—first, to thank you for the great amount of good your medicine, “Hunt’s Remedy,' has done me; and, secondly, with the hope that my recovery will induce some sufferer to do ail did, “use the great specific and be cured.* For nearly a whole year I was an invalid, unable to go out of the house, and a great part of the time confined to my bed, a living, powerless subject of the most dreadful of all diseases, “kidney complaint.' From the long suffering I became weak from the loss of strength, with a lack of vitality, and very much reduced in flesh. All this time I was taking various medicines, and under the care of our family doctor, and not receiving a particle of help. I had almost despaired of getting well when my attention was called to Hunt’s Remedy by a boarder in. my family. I commenced taking it (unknown to the doctor) with but little hopes of relief. This non-belief was soon dispelled, however, as I daily began to improve. I continued the use of Hunt’s Remedy (and to make a long story short), used eight bottles, dispensed with the doctor, and to the surprise of all-who knew me, and my own great satisfaction, became as well as ever. All pains and aches vanished, appetite returned, gained strength and flesh, and to-day consider myself as well as ever, and only too glad to place my testimony with that of many others. That your medicine, “Hunt’s Remedy,' brought me from a sick bed I well know, snd many people who know of my condition pronounce my cure almost miraculous. lam happy to say lam enjoying excellent health, thanks to your valuable medicine.

Worn, Weary, and Wretched. “As weak as a cat” is an expression frequently used by debilitated sufferers who are trying to tell how forlorn they feel. It is an incorrect expression, for a cat is one of the most agile and vigorous animals in existence. It would be more correct to say, “as weak as a limp old rag,” for that gives the idea of utter inability to hold one’s self up. The weary person who feels thus is generally worn, worried, woeful, and wretched. Sometimes it is a case of overwork, and sometimes of imperfect nourishment. The blood in the system of a person who is “as weak as a rag” is in a wretchedly thin condition. 'lt needs iron, to impart richness, redness, and strength. This is to be had by taking Brown’s Iron Bitters, the only safe and proper preparation of iron in connection with gentle and Eowerfiil tonics.
