In Brief, and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered fiver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to erood nature. 'l he human digestive apparatus is • tie of tn*e most compl’cated and wonderful hings in existence. It is •asily put out of order Greasy food, ton 'h food, sloppy food, bad sookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular habits, and many other things which ought not to be, have made the American pecple a nation of dyspeptics. But Green’s August Flower has done a wonderful work in reforming this sad business and making tht American people so healthy that they can enjoy their meals and be happy RememberNo happiness without health. But Green’s August Flower brings health and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a bottle. Seventy-five oeats.

CURIOSITIES OF NATURE.

The Jumping Gall, the Acrobatft Bean, and Seeds that Kxplode. “Here is a curiosity," said a botanist. It was a little ball of wood or fiber that when held in the palm seemed endowed with life, rolling over and over and flying into the air. “I’ve had people come to me with these,” continued the speaker, “andsay they were bewitched. One man believed he had discovered spontaneous generation; another wrote an exhaustive paper which ho tried to read at all the learned societies, allowing that here was the beginning of both animal and plant life. In fact, the little gall, for that is what it is, has attracted a good deal of attention.” “So it is only a plant,” said a reporter. “Not exactly a plant, but the unnatural growth of vegetable matter on trees, bushes, or shrubs, caused by the se retion in the bark of an insect egg that hatches and causes the growth. In this case, you see, the gall is little larger than a mustard seed. * “The gall is produced in this way: The eggs of a very small dark-colored insect, known as cynips, are deposited in the leaf, aud, from some secretion introduced into the wound, the vegetable matter entombs the insect in a hail of fiber separate from tho leaf, from which it finally drops. The larva’s movements in restraint create the carious activity. “There are many kinds of galls, and though they ara injurious to trees they are invaluable to man, and are staple commodities." The ordinary oak galls of commerce are made by a cynips. When they are green, blue, or black, the insect is in them, but when white it has escaped. England is the center of the trade, and receives galls from Germany, Turkey, Egypt, China, and Bombay. The galls are used for a variety of purposes. One sort of blasting powder is made of powdered galls and chlorate, but the most valuable product is ink. This is made from them almost entirely. “Seeds often jump about in the same mysterious way. In Mexico strangers see a curious seed known as devil’s bean, or jumping seed. In appearance it is a small triangular body. The first time I saw these seeds I was sure that they were arranged with mechanical springs, as they not only rolled about, but jumped several inches in the air. But open one of the seeds and the mystery is explained. The shell is hollowed out, containing nothing but a white larva, that has eaten out nearly all the interior and lined it with silk. Its motions occasion the strange movements. “Some seeds more by an entirely different process—that of exploding. A friend of mine got some seeds in India once, and placed them on his cabin table. All at once came an explosion Eke that of a revolver, and he received • blow on the forehead that drew blood, while a looking glass opposite wa* shattered. The seeds had become headed, and all at onee the covering exploded, scattering the seeds in all directions. That is their manner of dispersal, and a large number of plants have a similar method of scattering their seed.” —New York Sun.

Topnoody. % Mr. Topnoody sat at the supper tabls Tuesday evening as his wife cleared away the things, and after a moment’s silence he remarked: “My dear, do you know what day tha day after to-morrqjv will be ?” “Of course I do; it’s Thursday.” “I don’t mean that, my dear. Do you know what anniversary it will be?” " “I don’t recall.” “Why, my dear, don’t you know that it is the anniversary of our marriage? On that day, thirty-five years ago, we were made man and wife and—” “And I’ve had a grudge against that preacher ever since,” interrupted Mrs. Topnoody. “And,” he continued, not noticing it, “since that day, hand in hand, we have gone along the pathway of life, gathering its thorns and flowers, bearing ope another’s burdens and sharing one another’s happiness. Whatever of sorrow we may have had, my dear, has been lightened by dividing it between us, and whatever of joy, has been doubled by a mutual possession.” “That sounds like you had been r*tadinff ft novel.

“No, dear, it is merely the outgrowth of a pleasant retrospection. Do you know, my dear, it seems to me but yesterday since I saw the orange blossoms in your hair, and heard the music of the mystic words which joined two hearts and two lives in a unity blessed of Heaven. Has time sped on winged feet for you, my dear?” “Not hardly, Topnoody.” “But, my dear, how long have the joyous moments seemed to you ?” “Well, Topnoody, I haven’t figured it out quite as fine as hours and moments, but taking it in a lump, I should say it had seemed about four thousand years. I might throw off an hour or two bn an exact calculation, but not more than lhat, Topnoody.” Mr. Topnoody didn’t ask for an exact calculation. - Merchant Traveler.

What They Eat in Africa.

An African correspondent of Food and. Health, speaking of the habits of the people and incidents, says : Of course hunter’s food, such as elephant foot, buffalo hump, sea cow, giraffe, and the hundreds of different kinds of deer that abound in various parts of the country are all more or less good eating, especially when you have a good supply of Dame Nature’s sauce, hunger, on hand. I also found the coney cor rock rabbit a fair dish, although too mock like a large rat to look pleasant on the table. The natives of the country are not, m a rule, great meat eaters, living generally on oorn (called there, mealies,) milk, pumpkins, and a sort of sugar cane, now and then going in for a feast of meat. I have often considered whether te this way of living may be ascribed the really wonderful maimer in which they recover from wounds. In the sjulu wax I saw four persons wounded in the legs with bullets, one ol them especially having received a bullef iust below the knee, smashing all the bones, and leaving a hole that you could see through. The doctors said the only hope for any of them was amputation. This they refused to allow, and they would do nothing but pour cold water from time to time. When I last saw them all but the worst could walk alone, and his wound looked healthy, the bone having grown together, and knitted quite strongly. No white man could have lived without an operation. On the qjjpr hand, these men soon succumb k amem or disease.

We take pleasure in calling the attention of our readers to the following extract from a letter to the Eldredge Manufacturing Co., Chicago, written by an English dealer in Sewing Machines: Gents: I have telegraphed you this day to send on as quickl, as possible 50JNo. 2 tables and covers. I find I shall be out of these much sooner than the other styles. Tae stands and heads you can send at earliest convenience.

I am very much pleased to that these last hundred machines are highly satisfactory. For finish, smoothness and easy running, 1 really believe they are unequalled by any o+her Sewing Machine selling in this country. The machines require less predelivery than any other machines I have handled during the whole course of my experience extending over 20 years. Tours Truiy,

And now comes a chemist and explodes the theory that unbolted flour is the most nutritious, by stating that experiments show that it is harder to digest. The most sensible plan to follow is to eat what experience lias proved wrrees with vou.

Febraary 24,1888.—58 When Spring Comes This is the way a horse and a poor blanket look at the end of winter; Why is it that of two horse blankets which look and feel equally well one won’t wear at all, and the other wears well ? This Trade Mark-. Horse Blankets which are strong and have a reputation are always imitated in poor qualities which look like them, but having fewer warp threads are not as strong. Some dealers buy these poor imitations for a few cents less and by saying they are “just as good,” sell them at the same price as the strong blankets to parties who do not know the difference. You cannot tell whether horse blankets are strong by the look or feel, as the warp threads do not show on the face. How then are you to know? In order that you can tell a strong blanket from a weak one,the manufacturer of Horse Blankets sews the above S/± Trade Mark inside of each blanket. This is a guarantee that it is the strongest blanket made for the money and will wear well. Many poor imitations have been sold as 54 blankets. Remember none are genuine unless the 54 Trade Mark is sewed inside.
