High Meteorological Stations.

Of the present limited number of high stations for making meteorological observations, there are only two in EuVi*ope which exceed 3,000 metres in height, being abjdffib 10,000 and 11,000 feet, respectively, .Among those in this country is Pawfe Peak, which has an altitude feet, exceeding, thus, by more'tMi'i 3,000 feet, any in Europe. These great heights are much more accessible on this continent than in Europe, there being five in America where 11,000 feet or more is reached by railroads built for facilitating mining work; the highest of these in North America is Mount Lincoln, in Colorado, the mining works on which are 14,297 feet above the sea, and here is a meteorological station conducted by Harvard College. Another station is placed part way up the mountain, at a height of 13,500 feet. In the Andes range, in Peru, continuous meteorological observations are also carried on, the loftiest point for this purpose being 14,360 feet above the sea. The traveler can now go to the top of Lookout Mountain by rail.

In the Amusing Comedietta of “f»*d Up,” I Sir Charles Coldstream, a blase man of fashion, is made to deprecate everything in which everybody else is supposed to take an interest, 1 with the languid remark that “there is really nothing in it. ’ He even extended his criticism to the crater of Vesuvius, down which he looked hut saw nothing in it." Such characters are scarcer on this side of the Atlantic than abroad, but they exist here notwithstanding. Such men need a “fillip to nature" to medically stimulate their jaded appetite, overcome I their lassitude, and renew the zest of existence. I They and others upon whom the world’s enjoyments are beginning prematurely to pall will find Hostetter's Stomach Bitters a wholesome and speedy renewal of vigor and health. Appe- | tite returns, dyspeptic and bilious svmptouts disappear, the nerves grow strong, and'the hour of retirement is unfraught with apprehension of uneasy repose when this superlatne tonic is employed. It remedies fever and ague, rneunratism ! and kidney troubles. An oculist gives warning that it is injurious to nib the eyes while they are inflamed by the cutting winter winds and the dust raised thereby, and equally so to bathe them and go out immediately again in the air, as then there is danger of catching a cold. Most of the eye troubles at this season, he says, are caused by imprudence in rubbing or bathing. In rubbing the eyes the tear line from the outside to the nose should be followed, though the majority pass the fingers from the inside out, which, he asserts, affects the sight and “crow’s feet.”

With groans and sighs, and dizzied eyes, He seeks the couch and down he lies ; Nausea and faintness in him rise, Brow-racking pains assail him. Sick headache ! But ere long comes ease, His stomach settles into peace, Within his head the throbbings cease— Pierce’s Pellets never fail him! Noe will they fail any one In snch a dire predicament. To the dyspeptic, the bilious, and the constipated they are alike “a friend in need and a friend indeed.” Avery Truesdale, of Sharon, Pa., made a cane composed of 10,500 pieces of thirty-eight kinds of wood for Gen. Harrison. The Prince of Wales is said to be absolutely unhappy about hiß baldness—not his badness. Don’t hawk, hawk, blow, spit, and disgust everybody with your offensive breath, but use Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy and end it. The girl who won’t be won usually remains one. — Washington Critic. Moxie has created the greatest excitement ae a beverage, in two years, ever witnessed, from the fact that it brings nervous, exhausted, overworked women to good powers of endurance in a few days; cures the appetite for liquors and tobacco at onoe, and has recovered a large number of cases of old, helpless paralysis'as a food only.
