Wearing Away

To “the land o’ the leal,” as we all are, there is a mighty difference In our various rates of progress toward that goal. Some of us far on the down hill side of Hfe are infinitely more vigorous than those only half way on the up grade. Persons of advanced years, and those who experience premature symptoms of decay, will find in Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters a reliable means of renewing bodily energy and counteracting growing infirmities. When the functions of the liver and kidneys or the action of the bowels are irregular or sluggish, this fine corrective institutes the necesary reform. Its value as a stomachic is speedily made manifest In improved digestion and appetite, a rapid gain in bodily strength and substance, and a disappearance of the despondency incident to chronic indigestion. It also conquers fbver and ague, rheumatism and other ailments. The number of dwelling-houses in Paris is about 90,000. The area of the whole city is 25 square miles, and the population over 2,000,000. A recent measure of the Conseil d’Etat ordains that henceforward no fiats shall be less than eight feet high; that in streets 25 feet wide the height of the houses must not exceed 40 feet; in streets between 25 and 32 feet wide tho height must not exceed 50 feet; in street between 32 and 65 feet wide the height must not exceed 60 feet; in streets above 65 feet wide the height must not exceed 65 feet, and no buildings are to have more than seven stories, all included. The Mason & Hamlin Company, long the most famous manufacturers of reed organs in the world, have commenced the manufacture of Upright Pianos, having effected an improvement which they regard as the most important introduced in many years. An ingenious arrangement fastens the strings directly to the iron plate of the instrument, giving greater clearness and purity of tone, with absence of all mere noise. At the same time it renders the instrument more durable, less liable to get out of order. The Mason & Hamlin Pianos are certainly exquisite instruments, and, coming from these thoroughly well-known makers, may be depended upon to be all they represent them. —Boston Journal.
