MANUFACTURED BY J. H. ZEILIN &' CO.. Philadelphia, Pa. PRICE.. SOCIAL GOSSIP. The Mount Vernon Association propose to restor the tomb of Washington. A philosopher says "anyone can get married." Then there is no excuse for old maids after all. It is an awful moment for any woman when she finds herself for the first time a grandmother. A Russian proverb says: "Before going to war, pray once; before going to sea, pray twice; before getting married, pray three times. Ex-Governors Cnrtin, of Pennsylvania; Kirk wood, of Iowa; Ramsey, of Minnesota, and Sprague, of Rhode Island, are the only "war Governors" now living. Miss Mary Anderson, who sailed for Europe last week, has promised the famous Eoglish artist, Alma-Tadema, to pose for him in a historical character. "It Is the proper thing," notes a "Washington correspondent, for every lady in official life to go to the circus, and the rale of etiquette is equally imparative that all the prominent Jierson must also take one or moie chililften with them. Gen. Sherman used to taxe a whole orphan asylum at a single visit." President Cleveland has accepted the honorary presidency of the American exhibition to take place in London in May, 1887. Geneiai A. I. Goshorn, the President of the general council of the exhibition, has decided that the main office in the United States shall be in Philadelphia. President Cleveland will open the exhibition from the White House, and start the machinery by the telegraph land lines and the cable. A committee of over one thousand prominent men in Great Eritian has been selected to give a hearty welcome to American exhibitors and visitors during the period when Queen Victoria will celebrate her jubilee year, or the fiftieth anniversary of her reign. No weddiDg m the United States ever attracted the popular attention or moved the great heart of the nation as did this one. It was the first occasion on which an American Chief magistrate appeared as groom in the White House, but the preparations for it were without pomp and without parade. Compared with such a ceremonial as that of the urion of the late Emperor of the French and his Spanish bride, it was characterized by a Spartan'simplicity say, rather, a democratic simplicity. The bridal present, though many and costly, mischt have been increased a thousandfold. The guests were few, though congress was in session. Only a hundred and fifty pieces of wedding cake were distributed. Xot a jewel adorned the bride; not a soldier or a sailor marched in her honor, tbcujh tue groom vras commander-in-chief of the army and navy. Onehalf of his wedding day was devoted to the cares of state. Yet every requirement of pood taste and sound sense was fulfilled. The marriage of Mr. Tweed's daughtei, in the palmy era of the metropolitan ring, was accompanied by four times more show. It seems to us that the lesson ol President Cleveland's nuptials is a great lesson. Had Rome's rulers cared as little for personal ostentation and aggrandizement, the Roman empire might have lasted to this day. '0 fortunate, 0 happy the day, When a new household finds its place Among the myriad homes ot earth. Like a new star just sprung to birth. And rolled on its harmonious way Into the boundless realm of space." - Health Alphabet. The following curious piece of sanitary poetry was printed with the menu of the dinner of the sanitary convention at Philadelphia. As soon as yon are tip shake blanket and sheet; fitter be without shoes than tit with wet feet; Children if healthy, are active, not still: Lamp beds and dimp clothea will both make tob ill; TAt slowly and chew your food well; es hen the air in the home where you dwell; tannents should never be raade too tiht; Homes should be healthy, airy and light; If you wish to be well, as you do, I've no doubt, Just open the windows before you go out: Keep the rooms always tidy and clean; I-et dust an the furniture never be seen: Mach illness is caused by the want of pure air; New te open the windows, bo ever your care; Old rafrs and old rubbish shonid never be kept: People should see that their floors are well swept: Quick movements in children are healthy and right; Rememt-er, the yoang can not thrive without light; rVe that the cistern Is clean to the brim; Take rare that your dress is all tidy and clean ; l"sc your none to find if there, is a bad drain; Very sad are the fevers that come in its train : Walk as much as you ran without feeling fatigue, Xerxes conld walk lull many a league: Your health is yoar wealth, which your wisdom must keep; Zeal will help a good cause, and the good you will reap.

WHAT SCIENCE SAYS.

The "Fearful and Wonderful" Mechanism of the II a man System Graphically Portrayed. lln the editorial columns of the New York Analyst, If. Lasting, M. I)., editor, writes the following beautiful description of the laboratories of the human system. We think we have never read a finer or more trustworthy one. "Man is the greatest of all chemical laboratories. Magnify the smallest cell of the body and what a factory is spread before the eyes countless chambers in which are glebes of air, masses of solid matter, globules of flying liquid ; a flash comes and the whole is consumed and needful heat is carried into every part of the system. Electrical forces also generate and are conveyed to the brain, the muscles and the various nerve centers. "In another set of a million chambers we see various gasses and vapors. By chemical action these are changed and purified in the lungs and the skin. The blood we often say is a great living river. In its current are masses which the air In the lungs did not affect; blocks of chalk; slabs of tartar; pieces of bone ash, strings of albumen ; drops of molasses, and lines of alcohol. How are these waste masses disposed of ? Begin where you will in this great stream yon must corre to the purifying places of the system. Here is all activity and an invisible force reaches out into the stream, seizes and carries this mass of waste into vast trenches, thence into a smaller reservoir, and finally into a larger reservoir, which regularly di3charges its contents. "This separation of lime, uric acid and other waste material from the blood without robbing it of a particle of the lire lluid, passes human comprehension. In health this blood-purifying process is carried on without our knowledge. The organs in which it is done are faithful servants whose work is silent as long as health remains. "People strangely wait until pain strikes a nerve before they will realize that they have any trouble. They do not know that pain concerns chiefly the exterior not the interior of the body. A certain set of nerves connect these blood-purifying organs with the brain. They may not gnaw and bite as does the tooth-ache or a scratch, but they regularly, silently report When these organs are failing these nerves indicate it by drawing the blood from the face and cheek, leaving the lip and eye blanched, by sending uric acid Eoison into the smallest veins, the skin then ecoming gray, yellow or brown. They also prevent the purification of the blood in the lungs and cause pulmonary difficulties, weariness and pain. Who enjoys perfect health, especially in this land where we burn the candle in one mass? The athlete breaks down in the race; the editor falls at his desk; the merchant succumbs in his countingroom. These events should not have been unexpected, for nature long ago hung out her 'lanterns of alarm.' When the 'accident' finally comes, its fatal effect is seen in a hundred forms, eitker as congestion, chronic weakness, or wrong action, as variable appetite, as head troubles, as palpitation and irregularities of the heart, as premature decay, as dryness and harshness of the skin, causing the hair to drop out or turn gray, as apopleiy, as paralysis, as general debility, blood poisoning, etc. "Fut no faith then in the wiseacre who says there is no danger as long as there is no pain. Put no faith in the physician, whoever he may be, who says it is a mere cold or a slight indisposition. He knows little, if any, more than you do about it He can neither see nor examine these organs, and depends entirely upon experimental tests, that you can make as well as he. "If the output is discolored or muddy, if it contains albumen, lymph, crystals, sweet or morbid matter, is red with escaped blood, or roily with gravel, mucus and froth, something is wrong, and disease and death are not far away. "These organs which we have described thus at length, because they are really the most important ones in the human system, the ones in which a large majority of human ailments originate and are suitaineJ, are the kidneys. They have not been much discussed in public because it is conceded that the profession has little known power over them. What is wanted for such organs is a simple medicine, which can do no harm to the most delicate but must be of the greatest benefit to the afflicted. Such a remedy, tried and proved by many thousands all over the world i? Warner's safe cure. With those in whom disease is deep seated it is the only specific For those in whom the seeds are sown and the beginning of illness started it as unfailing reliance. It may be recommended to the well to prevent sickness and the sick to prevent death. With its aid the great filtering erigines of the system keep on in their silent work without interruption, without it they get out of gear aed tuen disease and death open the door and crcjs the threshold." Such writing ought not only to please but to carry conviction that what Ivlitor Lapsing, M. P.. so high an authority says is tru, and that his counsel is worthy the attention end heed of all prudent, rihtminded people. CURIOUS, USEFUL AND SCIENTIFIC. In washing bedsteads use strong brine or hot alum water. The largest pearl in ths world was sold in London recently for 030. It was two inches long and four inches in circumference, and weighed three ounces. If ants are to be killed, a sponge saturated with sweetened water, it is said, will be quickly filled with them. The epongt may be dipped in water from time to time. The largest crystal of alum ever produced, weighing over eight tons, has been sent to the Kdinburg International exhibition from the Manchester and Goole Alum Works. A novelty reported is a pair of spectacles having a silvered area on the inner edges of the glasses "so that objects out of tho direct field if visionmay beseen by the vigilant wearer." E. Creesey, of Saline, Mich, has solved the perpetual motion riddle. He has built a machine which apparently runs without the assistance of steem, air cr water, and he modestly asserts that it has teen running constantly for three weeks. The underground wire problem is being epeedily solved in Chicago. The wires are being fast buried, and will all be down by winter; and, more significant still, the various electric companies confess that the service is greatly improved by the change. Some of the iron manufacturers of the Lehigh valley have begun to make street-paving blocks from blast furnace slag. Some pleasing little ornaments of delicate tint are already made from slag and if it can be put in durable block shape there seems to be no reason why it should not become a favorite building material. Ore of the best of more recently introduced shrubs in Khodotypus herrioides, now in bloom. The flowers are of pure white, borne on the end of the tranches, set closely in a whorl of leaves, and appear sparingly all summer. The foliage is of a light cheerful green, holding on well and turning to a clear lemon-color in autumn, and the habit of growth is neat and graceful. At the Madrid Academy of Medicine Senor Sanchez, of the Military Sanitary Service, has described his method of treating cholera, which consists in the main in giving huge doses of sub-nitrate of Biamuth 150 grains every half hour or hour until the diarrhea is arrested. The oil of mustard is also employed externally, and a very rigorous diet enforced, even bouillon being excluded. A philanthropic Detroit naturalist says that he has got the greatest land-making scheme ever known. It is to graft the marine plants of the Gulf of Mexico upon the marine vegetation of the great lakes. This would," he thinks, give to the hardy Northern growths the rank and quick-growing chjuacttziaUcg 9! tbe tropica! EWWtbs, and

he would get a plant which, introduced into Northern swamps and bayou lands, would form a foundation that would ultimately result in good land. That his scheme would require a century or two to develop does net leesen the enthusiasm of the Michigander. A special committee on railroad axles has reported that iron axles are safer than steel axles; that all cranks should have the webs nooped ; that, as iron cranks appear to fail after running some 200,000 miles, and steel after 170,000, it is highly desirable that they should be taken off and not again used on passenger engines, and that crank axles, properly constructed, are as strong as straight axles. For stuffing purposes pine shavings are now largely used, there being at Pesth, in Hungary, an extensive factory devoted exclusively to the production of such shavings, and these, by the aid of machinery, are reduced to such a degree of fineness that the product closely resembles tow. Shavings of this kind are superior, it is asserted, to every other substitute for horse hair in connection with upholstering purposes, alike as regards elasticity, softness ana durability; for bedding they are recommended on tic count of the resin contained in the wood being an effectual preventive of vermin, the utility of the material in this line, especially for hospital and barrack purposes, having been satisfactorily tested by the German Government After having been used as stuffing for some five or six years the shavings can be renovated by being exposed to the heat of the sun or a heightened temperature.

THE FIRST RECEPTION. The Brilliant Scene Presented at the Ex ecutive Mansion Last Night. Washisgtox, June 15. The White House never presented a more brilliant spectacle than to-inght, on the occasion of the first official reception given by President and Mrs. Cleveland. The decorations were on the same grand scale as at the President's wedding, with the exception that there were more tropical plants and ferns and flowers, The walls of the East Room were hidden by plants, and garlands of smilax and evergreens were festooned from the chandeliers and cornices. The mantles were banked with rare exotics and the window recesses frilled with palms. The decorations of the other parlors were of a similar description. The scene, when the receeption was at its height, with the rich toilets of the ladies and the splendor of the uniforms worn by some of the officers present, was grand. The signal that the President andUrs. Cleveland were ready was given promptly on time and the Marine band, which was stationed in the main vestibule, Struck up the air "Hail to the Chief." The receiving party then descended from the upper portion of the house to the blue parlor, in the following order: The President and Mrs. Cleveland, Secretary and Mrs. Kndicott, Secretary and Mrs. Whitney, Postmaster General and Mrs. Vilas, Colonel and Mrs. Lamont.

Her only ornaments were the diamond necklace, the wedding gift of the President and a magnificent bouquet of white roses worn at the corsage. Mrs. Cleveland's hair was dressed in Grecian coils, and the charming simplicity of her whole attire only served to show to greater advantage the dignity of her carriage and the graceful poise of her figure. She had a smile for every one and a word for many, and her winsome manners captivated all. The President and Mrs. Cleveland were assisted by Mrs. Endicott, Mrs. Whitney and Mrs. Vilas. Mrs. Kndicott was dressed in white satin, en train, trimmed with black lace, and wore diamond ornaments. Mrs. Whitney wore a low-neck, sleeveless white satin gown, with diamond ornaments.

This afternoon the hotel office bell was rung from room No. 25, which the young couple have closely retained since their arrival. But when the bell boy responded and rapped at the door there was no response. After repeated rappings with no sound from within, the carpenter was tammoned and forced open the door, Both

Thompson and his wife lay side by side on the floor. Mrs. Thompson had been shot in the back of tbe head and was dying when the attendants entered. Thompson was conscious forn moment and asked that a doctor be sent for. I n Thorn pson's hand there was a revolver. There were bullet wounds in his head and breast but not necessarily fatal.

It is Received With Great Satisfaction in the House. Washisgtow, June 10. Mr. Holman's renomination to-day was received with much satisfaction by his friends in the House, while the lobbyists expressed great displeasure at the result This is the fifteenth nomination he has been given.

In the Forty-lifth and Forty-sixth Congress, Mr. Holman's district was made hopelessly Republican by the redisricting act of a Republican Legislature.
