The Sahara Desert.

The Sahara, the largest desert in the ■world, occupies an area estimated at from 1,500,000 to 2,5U0,000 square miles. The sterility of the Sahara is largely attributable to the fact that the prevailing northeast trade winds which blow o e its snrfaee.bring it no moisture, having been almost drained of aqueous vapor in their long continental journey over Europe and Asia. On the mountains south of the Mediterranean they deposit more than they have collected in their brief passage over the sea. When they reach the heated desert beyond, where the absorptive capacity of the air is greatly increased by the access of temperature, they bear away moisture instead of bringing it, and it is not condensed into rain until it reaches the mountains of Central Asia. The Sahara is probably subject to a higher temperature than any other region on the globe; the thermometer has b en known to register 133 deg. F. This terrific heat imparts their dreaded characteristic to the simoons and other similar winds blown off the desert. According to Sir Charles Lyell the Sahara was under water between latitude 20 degrees and 40 degrees N. at one time during the glacial epoch, so that there was water communication between the southern part of the Mediterranean and that portion of the Atlantic ocean now bounded by the west coast of Africa. A project lias of late been advocated of reconverting the deeper part of the Sahara, an area of about 123,000 square miles, into a sea, bv cutting a canal from the Atlantic through the sr.nd hills which form the western border.

Political Temperance Parties.

It would be the most remarkable thing in the history of the world if the little harmless Moxie Nerve hood plant should substitute die use of stimulants, and take the wind out of the sails of tue political temperance partios. There is the best of authority for the statement that the drinker is better satisfied with it, and the liquor dealer has to keep it or lose his custom. It is a powerful factor that they can make just as much money on it, and pay no license. Also, the women aud churcnes back it to the utmost All the dealers say its sate is enormous. The company putting it on the market offer the chemists SS,UOJ it they can hud anytuing in it more deleterious tliau common bate.' root and wintergreen. We thank God it can do so wed without harm.

War on the Chatterer.

A reform, which has come gradually but qmte definitely within the last few years, is the extinction of the race of beings who beat time unconsciously with their feet upon the floor, their fans upon the chair in front, or their fingers upon the arm of the chair in which they sit. I attribute this in great measure to the frequent productions of music, to which no creature can beat the rhythm. However this may be, this pulsating evidence of your neighbor’s enjoyment is now seldom felt, and I hope it has gone to join the “Bowery tramp,” in which the galleries used to take such delight, and which was, indeed, in its day, a soulful demonstration in comparison. But there yet remains the chatterer, and to him or, quite as frequently, to her—l would suggest that there be next directed the Tetormatory influence of the dames apd demoiselles who have won such a notable victory over the high hats. —Boston Post.

Happy Man.

“It is singular,” said Mrs. Henpecker to her husband, “that although we often hear of the man in the moon, we never hear of any woman in the moon.” “No, we never do,” he answered, “there is no woman in the smiling moon.” “Smiling moon?” “Yes, it is called the smiling moon. The man in it smiles.” “What for?” “Because there is no woman there.”— Boston Courier..

In Town and Hamlet

The seeds of intermittent and bilious remittent fever germinate and bear evil fruit. No community has altogether escaped it. In populous wards of large cities bad sewage causes it, and in their suburbs stagnant pools in sunken lots breed it. There is at once a remedy and anneans of prevention. Its name is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which is, without peradventure, the most potent antidote in existence to the malarial virus. Fortified with this incomparable, saving specific, miasmatic influences may-be encountered with absolute impunity. Disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, begotton by miasmatainted water, or any other cause, succumb to the beneficent corrective named, and rheumatic, kidney and bladder troubles are surely removable by Its use when it is given a persistent trial.

“Throw Physic to the Dogs”

When it is the old-fashioned blue mass, bine pill sort, and insist on using Dr. Pierce’s 6 Pieaaant Purgative Pellets,” a modern medical luxury, being small, sugar-coated granules, containing the active principles of certain roots and herbs, aud which w.ll be found to contain as much cathartic power as any of the old-fashioned, larger pills, without the'latter’s violent, drastic effects. The pellets operate thoroughly but harmlessly, establishing a permanently healthy action of the stomach and bowels, and as ah anti-bilious remedy are unequaled. “People needn’t sneer at me because I am an old maid,” said Miss Gildersleeve, snappishly. “I may be an old maid, but if lam I’m one from choice.” “Yes,” said Mr. Casßignole, sympathetically, “so I’ve always understood. Choice 'was quite unanimous, wasn’t it?” A little Are is quickly trodden out Which, being suffered, rivers cannot quench.

The following words, in praise of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription as a remedy for those delicate diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women, must be of interest to every sufferer from such maladies. They are fair samples of the spontaneous expressions with which thousands give utterance to their sense of gratitude for the Inestimable boon of health which has been restored to thorn by th 6 use of this world-famed medicine.

“"l John E. Seoar, of MQlenbeck, Va., writes: qt | AA “My wife had been suffering for two or three iD avv years with female weakness, and had paid • a out one hundred dollars to physicians wittaIHROWN AWAY out relief. She took Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and it did her more good than all the medicine given to her by the physicians during the three years they had been practicing upon her.” punuuiMß Mrs. George Heiiger, of Westfield, N. Y., Tur PnriTror writes: “ I was a great sufferer from leucorIHt IlHtAltSr rhea, bearing-down pains, and pain continm n ualiy across my back. Three bottles of your EARTHIY HORN ‘Favorite Prescription’ restored me to perURIlinU uuun ‘ feet health. I treated with Dr. , for nine months, without receiving any benefit. The ‘Favorite Prescription’ is the greatest earthly boon to us poor suffering women.”

TREATING THE WRONG DISEASE. Many times women call on their faqiily physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease, ‘ another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion or prostration, anottier with pain here or there, and in this way they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases, for which he prescribes his pills and potions, assuming them to be such, when, in reality, they are all only symptom* caused by some womb disorder. The physician. Ignorant of the cause of suffering, encourages his practice until large bills are made. The suffering patient gets no better, Dut probably worse by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper medicine, like Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, directed to the cause would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling all those distressing symptoms, and instituting comfort instead of prolonged misery.

Mrs. E. F. Morgan, of No. 71 Lexington St., PHYSICIANS East Mam., says: “Five years ago I ■in oiuiniio wafl a dreadful sufferer from uterine troubles. ■ AILED Having exhausted the skill of three physicians. I was completely discouraged, and so weak I could with difficulty cross the room alone. I began taking Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and using the local treatment recommended In his ‘Common Sense Medical Adviser.’ I commenced to improve at once. In three months I was perfectly cured, and have had no trouble since. I wrote a letter to my family paper, briefly mentioning how my health had been restored, and offering to send the full particulars to any one writing me for them, and enclosing a damned-en-velope for reply . 1 have received over four hundred letters. In reply, I have described my case and the treatment used, and have earnestly advised them to ‘do likewise.’ From a great many I have received second letters of thanks, stating that they had commenced the use of * Favorite Prescription,’ had sent the $1.50 required for the ‘ Medical Adviser,’ and had applied the local treatment so fully and plainly laid down therein, and were .much better already.”

THE OUTGROWTH OF A VAST EXPERIENCE.

The treatment of many thousands of cases of those chronic weaknesses and distressing ailments peculiar to females, at the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., has afforded a vast experience in nicely adapting and thoroughly testing remedies for the cure of woman’s peculiar maladies. I»r. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription Is the outgrowth, or result, of this great and valuable experience. Thousands of testimonials, received from patients and from physicians who have tested It In the more aggravated and obstinate cases which had baffled their skill, prove it to be tho most wonderful remedy ever devised for the relief and cure of suffering women. It is not recommended as a “ cure-all,” but as a most perfect Specific for woman’s peculiar ailments. As a powerful. Invigorating tonic, It imparts strength to the whole system, and to the uterus, or womb and its appendages, in particular. For overworked, “worn-out,” “run-down,” debilitated teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses, “shop-girls,” housekeepers, nursing mothers, and feeble women generally. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the greatest earthly boon, being unequalled as an appetizing cordial and restorative tonic. It promotes digestion and assimilation of food,

cures nausea, weakness of stomach, indigestion, bloating and eructations of gas.

I doctored with an ■■■■■■■■■■*■ army of different physicians, and spent large sums of money, but received no lasting benefit. At last my husband persuaded me to try your medicines, which I was loath to do, because I was prejudiced against them, and the doctors said they would do me no good. I finally told my husband that if he would get me some of your medicines, I would try them against the advice of my physician. He got me six bottles of the ‘Favorite Prescription/ also six bottles of the ‘Discovery,’ for ten dollars. I took three bottles of ‘Discovery’ and four of * Favorite Prescription,’ and I have been a sound woman for four years. 1 then gave the balance of the medicine to my sister, who was troubled m the same way, and she cured herself in a short time. I have not had to take any medicine now for almost four years.”
