THE iMP OOP OF IMfTOygT. TLa most po-vrerful f etub is BanhgWe, the tutelary saint of "Wiydah, and -which is pexsonified fcy the iMWrnlaw snake so named. Its w$ip was introduced into Dahomey when the kingdom of "Whydah was conquered and annexed; " In "Whydah; hidden from eyes profane by a thick grove of fig
is . the famed Panh-hwen, or
fetish snaie-honse. It is, according to Mr. Skertchly, nothing more than a circular swish hnt the very model of the Parian inkstand to be seen in every toy shop - JTroHV the room depended pieces of cotton yarn, and on the floor, which, in common with the walls, was whitewashed, were several pots of water. 3he pythons, to the number of twenty-two, were coiled on top of the wall or twined around the rafters. All those hideous reptiles are sacred. To slay one, even by accident for to do so purposely would not be dreamt of used to entail instant sacrifice to the gods, and confiscation of all the offender's property - the fetish priests. Nowadays -his punishment is not so severe, but is still exemplary enough. The' offender, after a meeting of all the fetishers' of the neighborhood is convened, is seated within a hnt of sticks, thatched with dry grass and built in the inclosnre in front of the snake house. His clothes and body are well daubed with palm oil, mixed with the fat of the murdered snake god. At a given signal the hut is fired, and the materials being like tinder, the unfortunate offender against the majesty of the fetish is enveloped in flames. In excruciating torture he rushes out of the flames his clothes on fire to the nearest water, pursued by the infuriated priests, who belabor him with sticks, stones, and all sorts of rubbish. If he reaches the water he is free, and if he is fortunate enough to live, he has expiated his crime. But few are able to ran the gauntlet, and they expire before reaching the cooling wjtter, clubbed to death by the fetishnien the Danh-gbwe-no, or snake-mothers, as they are called. As the door of the snake temple is always open, the snakes frequently wander out after nightfall. If any person meets one, he must prostrate himself before it, carrying it. tenderly in bis arms to the temple, when his humanity to the snake god is rewarded by his being fined for meeting the snake; and if ho cannot or will not pay, he is imprisoned until the utter, most cowrie is extracted from him. Peopfe of the World. THE LAW Or SEX. An English author, Mr. G. R. Stark
weather, thinks he has discovered a great "law of sex," of which the London Athenaeum gives this summary : If the husband is superior to the wife the family will consist mostly of girls, and vice versa. Dark complexion is superior to light ; dark plants and trees are the most hardy, and dark horses the best. A square forehead and prominent veins are "superior;" a large prominent eye (which " indicates conversational powers") is the. reverse. But the best indication of superiority is a large and prominent nose, Roman or aquiline, full a third of the length of the face. Philosophers, lawyers, editors, poets, literary men, and brain-workers generally, have a large excess of daughters. Wine-merchants, tavern-keepers, small retail dealers, orators, physicians and musicians have a preponderance of boys. Clergymen appear just to struggle through the ordeal without incurring the stigma of inferiority, being equally intelligent, sober and moral with their wives, and producing an equal number of boys and girls. Of course, for the stability of the new law, it becomes necessary to show that musicians, medical men and orators are inferior. Accordingly the first are lymphatic, the second are made rather than born to their profession (and the most distinguished, as an exception, have large families of daughters), and mere public speakers do not possess "the highest order of facuies or intellect," while hi most of them "the base of the brain will be found to predominate over the superior portion." TISH STORIES. "I dont mind being hooked so much," said the black fish, "but it worries me to think what lies will be told about my size and weight." For nearly 2,000 years this propensity haa befcn indulged by piscatorial sportsmen, and it is worthy of comment that, in pursuit of that branch of moral culture, the lower animals have generally been selected for illustration. We are all familiar with the boy's story of the thousand cats which he saw on his father's wood pile, and which, on investigation, was reduced to "our cat and another one." The periodical reappearance of the marvelou -fish ' known as the "great American vsea-serpet," is seen ever and anon hovering about our coast, seemingly in doubt whether to swallow an AtUtiO ySteameJior juIl Long island away from its moorifigs.

HIS OWH EXECUTOR.
A WU-lokow GenOenuuot'a PfcilanthMphy and the Commotion Caused by One of His Xjettera. CRocnester Demount and Chronicle. We published In our local columns yesterday morning a significant letter from a gentleman kao wTfcpersonally or by reputation to nearly every person in the land. We have received a number of letters protesting against the use of our columns for such "palpable frauds and misrepresentations;" therefore, to confirm beyond a'enb't the authenticity of the letter, and the.' genuineness of its sentiments, a 'reporter or ' this paper was commissioned to ascertain all the possible facts in the matter. Accordingly be visited Clifton Springs, saw the author of the letter, and with the following result: Dr. Henry Foetejs, the gentleman In question, is 68 or 6-4 years of age, sand "has an extremely cordial manfiof . ' He presides as Superintendent oyer the celebrated sanitarium, which accommodates over 500 guests, and is unquestionably the leading health resort of the country. - Several years ago this benevolent man wisely determined to be his own executor, and, therefore, turned ov er this magnificent property, worth $390,000, as a free gift to a Board of Trustees, representing the principal Evangelical denominations. Among the Trustees are Bishop A. C. Coxo, Protestant Episcopal, Buffalo: Bishop Mathew Simpson, Philadelphia, Methodist Episcopal; President M. B. Anderson, of the University of Boohester; Rev. Dr. Clark; Secretary of the A, B. C. F. M., Boston. The benevolent purpose of the institution is the care: 1st of Evangelical missionaries and their families whose health has been broken in their work. 2nd. of ministers, of any denominations, in good standing. 3rd. of members of any church; who otherwise would be unable to secure such care and treatment. The current expenses of the institution are met by the receipt from the hundreds of distinguished and wealthy people who every year crowd its utmost capacity. Here come men and women who were once in perfect health, but neglected ihe first symptoms of disease. The uncertain pains they felt at first were overlooked until their health became impaired. They little realized the danger before them, nor how alarming even trifling- ailments might prove. They constitute all classed, including ministers and Bishops, lawyers, Judges, statesmen, millionaires, journalists, college professors and officials from all parts of the land. Drawing the morning Democrat and ChronicU from his pocket, the reporter remarked, 44 Doctor, that letter of yours has created a good deal of talk, and many of our readers have questioned its authenticity." To what do you refer?" remarked the Doctor. 44 Hare you seen the paper? " "Yes, but I have not had time to read it yet." The reporter thereupon showed him the letter, which was as follows: . Cunos Speisgs Bawtabjtjm Co., I Clifton Springs, N. Y- Oct. n, 1883. f Dear Sib : I am using Warner's Safe Cure, and I regard it as the best remedy for some form of kidney disease that we have. Iam watching with great care some cjees I am now treating with it, and 1 hope foeavoiable results. I wish you might come down yourself, as I would like very much to talk with 3-0:1 about your sterling remedy and show you over our institution. Yours truly, Signed Hbxry Foster, H. D. "1 do not see why anybody should be skeptical concerning that letter," lcmarked the Doctor. "Isn't it unusual for a physician of your standing ami influence to commend a proprietary preparation." "I don't know how It may bo with others, but in this institution we allow no person to dictate to us what we shall uso. Our purpose is to cure the sick, and for that work we use anything we know to be valuable. Because I know Warner's Safe Cure is a very valuable preparation, I commend it. As its power is manifested under my use, so shall I add to the completeness of my commendation. Have you ever analyzed it, Doctor?" "We always analyze before wo try any preparation of which we do not know the constituents. But analysis, you know, only gives the elements; it does not give the allimportant proportions. The remarkable power of Warner's Safe Cure undoubtedly consists in the proportions according to which its elements are mixed." While there maybe a thousand remedies made of the same elements, unless they are put together in proper proportions, they are worthless as kidney and liver preparations. "I hope some day to meet Mr. Warner personally, and extend fuller congratulations to him on the excellence of his preparations. I have heard much of him .as the founder of the Wagner Observatory, and as a man of large benevolence. Tho reputed high character of the man himself gave assurance to me in the first place that he would not put a remedy upon the market that was not trustworthy; and it was a source of a good deal of gratification to me to find out by actual experiment the remedy itself sustained my impressions." The conclusion reached by Dr. Foster is precisely tfce same found' by Dr. D!o Levis, Dr. Robert A. Gunn, Ex-Surgeon-General Gallagher and others, and proves beyond a doubt the great ellicacy of the remedy wh:ch hns awakened so much attention in the land and rescued so n:any men, women and children from disease and death.

"Now what I want you to do, Miranda," said a white woman to the new colored "help" "is to get up early, make two fires, get breakfast, take care of the children while I am eating; then, after breakfast, sweep the rooms, make up the beds, and do anything else that comes handy." "What's yerse'f gwine ter be dour all dat tune?" "Why, 111 be attending to my own affairs, of course.' "An' seehv me workin' like a slabs? Lady, I doan reckin,we kin trade.

MAN U FA. C X UJiE AFJPLE JELLY. Making apple jelly for market is one of the industries of this State. One factory uses from 1,500 to 1,800 pounds of fruit per day. A bushel of fruit will make from four to five pounds of jelly. Grab apples mak6 the finest jelly; sour, crabbed, natural fruit make jelly of best appearance, and a mixture of all varieties the most satisfactory product. The pomace is manipulated in water, when the seeds sink and the lighter
part flows off; and it is said that the
value of the seeds will pay the cost of
all the labor employed. They are sold to nursery-men for planting. New

CHEERFUL IN THE PRESENCE Of liEATU. Mr. W. E. Sheridan, the actor, was with Edwin Adams during his last days. He says; "Ned Adams was a Meicutio in his dying days, ' The very presence of death itself oould not curb his humor. For instance, one night, when the poor man's breath was so nearly spent that he could speak only jn a faint
whisper, he beckoned to me. I ap-
proached his bed cautiously, and 01
served that he was covered with a shepherd's plaid shawl, or rather it was thrown across his breast for the better protection against draughts. When I leaned down close enough to hear him poor Ned whispered, ' Sherry, this is a check to proud ambition,' pointing at the same time to the checked shawl across his breast, and then he laughed at his pun as though death were not creeping over him. Adams' wife was the faithful nurse, and he promised her that if any premonitory symptoms of death warned him of his end, if any psychological influence made itself felt, he would advise her of it. It avus but a short time before his death that he called ' Mary' in a voice almost indistinct to that faithful watcher. Mrs. Adams leaned over him, and with his mouth close to her ear he said, ' The curtain will go down at 8 o'clock,' and at that hour precisely he died. Washington Star. IMAGININGS.
Two young friends wexe playing a friendly gamo of poker. "See me for that," said Bill, as he laid down a half-dollar. Jim, who had run out of wealth, said: "Loan me half a dollar." "Imagine it's down," said Bill. Bill won, and as be raked in the pot,

"No, I don't," replied Jim. "I'm

course, I now imagine it is paid."
Then Bill imagined he could lick

It takes fully eighteen mouths to convert tobacco into snuff, and it goes through most elaborate preparations
before it is presented to the public. Few people are probably aware that.
after the same fashion as beer, tobacco
is allowed to ferment so as to be thoroughly pickled, and is kept in this condition for at least six months, after which it is subjected to a steam temper
ature of deg. When thoroughly dry it has to be ground, which is done by means of cast-iroa mills. Over 400 women and boys are engaged in one
snuff factory in Jersey City.

A Druggist's Story. Mr. Isaao C. Chapman, druggist, Newburg, N. Y., writes us: "I have for the past ten years sold Boverftl gross of Dr. Wm. Hall's Balsam for the Lungs. I can say of it what I cannot say of any other mcdloine. I have never beard a customer speak of it but to praise its virtue in the highest manner. I have recommended it in a great many cases of whooping cough, with the happiest effects. I have used it in my own family for many years: in fact, always have a bottle 'in the medicine closet ready for use." Carbo-Hues. Full oft we feel the surge of tears.

HUMORS. The animal fluids of the body, when poorly nourished, become vitiated and cause eruptions to appear on the akin. They are objectionable from their disfignrement, and vary in character from a constant, uneasy sensation to a positive distress and severe pain. Hood' Sarsaparilla corrects the derangement of the functions, enriches the fluids, purities the blood, and changes the dressed condition to one of health and vigor. .' Pimples. H alforo Fltnn, of New York, had so many pimples and blotches on his face that he was ashamed. He tried various remedies without effect. Hood's Sarsaparilla purified Ida blood, and all blemishes disappeared. Kinsrworui. My brother is a victim to a humor which brings ringworms all over his face.
