THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA. The IlmiKcrn of niood rolnatilnc. Since tho death of President Uarflcltl, tlicro teems to lmvo been nn Incrcnso In tho number of recorded cases of blood poison. Ing. A few weeks ago tho llev, N'oaliSclicnck, T). I)., of llrooklyn, bad an operation per formed or. Ills foot, Inflammation set In nnd death ensued. If n man bo In good health, n wound licnM rapidly ; If tho blood Is cor rupt, It is slow to heal. Impure blood Irri tates and Inflames tho whole system It follows then, It tho blood purifying organs arc deranged slnco every particle of blood courses through these organs over on hun dred times uu hour In n very short lime tho blood poison must destroy nil vitality. In tho winter season Nature demands lical-maklng food ( In tho spring slio sets up a cooltng process and to accomplish this, sho ordains that the chanec from win. tcr to summer shall be gradual, If her laws were never violated, this provision would bo sulllfiient ; they nro violated, therefore, wo must furnish her help this spring house cleaning time othcrwlso the Bccds of dis ease remain with us. Blood Is mado In the stomach ; it Is puri fied by the skin, lungs, liver and kidneys. During n long, cold winter, tho liver nnd kidneys nro overworked j tho consequence Is that In tho spring these organs arc pros tinted ) tho prostration Is Indicated by ci trcmcly dull, heavy feelings nnd a wearl ness which seems to go to tho bono head aches, furred tongue, lack of appetite, Itching and discolored skin, mcntnl Irntn blllty, depression of spirits, neuralgic pains, convulsions, chills and fever, "ma laria." These little Irregularities of feeling nre Nature's warning ; If neglected, disease may get the upper hand. If you Intro duce Into the blood a Httlo kidney and liver poison, you can artificially produco the nbore symptoms; It follows, therefore, that to rcmovo them, vitality must bo restored to those blood purifying organs. It they cannot perform their work no amount of - medlclno taken for other organs can have any permanent effect In tho system. Brigadier-General D. II. Bruce, business manager of the Syracuse. (N. Y.) Journal In 18S3, found that ho was nat coming through tho spring in good form; ho was not sick, but only out of condition; to the timely use of a few bottles of Warner's safe cure, bowover, he attlbutcd recovery cf constitutional tone, and undoubtedly warded off some chronic disorder. This preparation Is not a cure-all It claims to restoro tho blood-purifying organs to natural vitality; by so doing, it not only cures, but prevents blood corruption and disease. If you doubt Its power, ask your friends; mlllons have heard of it, hundreds of thousands havo used it and commend it Tho 111 feelings nf splngtlmo nre caused by a more or less poisoned condition of the blond; a condition which grows worse by neglect, nnd finally may send one to tho grave. One day a young physician discovered on his nose what turned out to be a malig. nant ulceration, tho blood virus nttacked ' his brnln und killed him. A prominent merchant 01 op. parcntly averago health died suddenly the other day j an examination showed that one kidney, entirely decayed, had poisoned the blood terribly t Had this condition been recognized in time, ho might havo uvea to me lull "tnrco score and ten." Every dav we ncclect to take such nre cautions as are herein indicated, we may bo said to drive a nail Into our coflln. The ulood Is poisoned every day ; if it Is not purified every day, untimely death is lnev- tauic. roniiST Tunics. People who nro alarmed at tho wliolo Bale hnvoo mado in our forests, will be frlittl to know (hat Alaska forests con tain enough timber to supply the world. Tho forests of pine, fir, spruce nnd hem lock cover every island of tho Arclti pelago. Tho trees nro straight and tall, nnd grow close together. Tho only saw mill nt present in operation is at Doug lass Island, and so far there has not been a cord of timber cut for shipment The trees, as a rule, do not have largo dimensions, and will not always cut up into good sized boards. For fuel, how ever, tho wood is excellent, and much of it is available for building purposes. There is little decorative wood, although tho yellow pine is richly colored nnd might bo used (o advantage in interior work. Alaska (spruce is an excellent variety and often measures live feet in diameter. It is considered tho best spruce in the world, and tho supply is abundant. Iu the interior of tho country timber is of much heavier growth than near tho coast and on tho islands. Itegarding tho hemlock, there is a largo supply and the hark eoaipurea favorably with that of the Eastern trees, used in tanning establishments. None havo yet attempted to compute the valuo of the Alaska forests. It may bo they will not ho necessary for years to como, but whenever wood grows bcureo elsewhere, or whenever virilization fastens itself on Alaska, tho timber of the legion will bo found ready at hand and existiug in rich profusion. Calculating only approxi mately tho valuo of our pojsuasions to day, tho forests must be considered Practically inexhaustible, they add most materially to tho uuulth of the territory. A hUNUAV nCllOOI, M'llOLAU. Here is' tho pith of a talented young, stor's paper on tho "Good Samaritan.": !A ccrtaiu man went down from jerslam tojeriker, and ho fell among thieves and tho thorns spuing up nud choakedhim whereupon ho gavo tuppiut to tho host, and pinid tuko eiao on him and put him hou his houu h.wa And ho past by on tho other hide ' This and tho following are not, as luight be sup posed, America.! exaggerations, but authenticated instancm of examiners experiences.

If these impressions, however, aie not mingled with activity of the soul, if they are not vitalized by thought and embodied into the life, they otuo to be of uny valuo to tho character, and even lose tho beauty which we are in tho habit of according to lliem. For only that is truly beautiful which either has within It the clement of growth or BUgut vital energy as its cause.

Their own stimulant, kavn, the-. u tinue to ttso in great quantities, and many of tho Europeans havo contracted n liking for it. All tho Wairrapana lmvo a tasto of it, and , marvel that any white man can acquire n penchant for such stuff. Its flavor resembles soap suds morn than anything else one can 00111 pare' it with. Tho root usod is botani ally known tw that of tho piper methitti cunt ; it is hard nnd woody, hence tho object of tho chewing, which liberates tho julco of the root moro freely than nny other process. Kuropenns grate tho loot and pouud it, but admit that tho liquor is not equal to that chowed. In Snmo.i the preparation of tho kava Imwl is attended with very great cere mony, only tho young unmarriod girls being allowed to chow it. Tho root is cut up into fino pieces, nnd tho girls, who oro directed by tho prettiest of them, first rinso their mouths, tako up a piece, and when sufficiently masticated and formed into n ball, spit it into n bowl. Tho chiof girl then calls for water, and after washing her hands diiccts ono of her companions to ponr uu tho water whllo sho stirs tho root with her hand. When enough water is in, and the balls aro properly mixed with the ingredient, sho takes up a strainer mado of fibres of hibiscus, and passes it from side to sido of tho bowL When tho strainer is saturated sho lifts it high above tho bowl and squeezes tho balls through tho strainer iu her hand. Tliis is continued until tho kava bowl is ready. It is contended by somo of tho Euro peans who uso chewed root that tho mastication is perfectly dry and is n mero crushing process, but of courso au amount of saliva must got incorporated in the process. Tho medicinal properties of kava nro tonio nnd nervous sedative, and it is to these effects, and not to its flavor, that tho tasto of the drink arises. TIIE INVENTION OF INK. When ink was first introduced does not socm to havo been decided, but given tho paper and the pen, a colored medium which would show ou a light surface was so obvious a watt, and ono so readily found, that there is no ex traordinary credit duo to tho unknown inventor. It appears to bo only of com paratively lato years that black ink has been almost universal. Roman ink was red, purplo and gold, and inks of bluo, green, violet and other shades woro not uncommon. It is said that simplo as is tho composition of ink, "we possess nono equal iu beauty and color to that used by tho ancients; the Saxon MS3. written in England exceed in color any thing of tho kind." Modern ink makers will deny tho superiority of the ancients ; but who shall say whether words written in tho ink manufactured to-day will stand as vividly centuries henco as those Saxon MSS. havo stood? It is difficult to see how tho writing materials of tho present day can bo improved up on, lor convenience at least, setting asido questions of lasting inks, which tho generation that uses them cauuot settle Paper, rough or Bmooth, tliieut inks of nny color that tho writer may bclievo suitable to Ids eyes, pens as tino as a needle or as blunt as a spade, aro all to bo bought in every stroet. Tho great lack of tho ago seems to be ideas atoncomoro novel and scusiblo iu tho record of which theso serviceable mater ials may bo employed. CAT1.KSS cur. On& of the queerest of tho many queer things about "this here mining cam)," as most of tho natives still call Leadville, is that in all tho length and breadth thereof there lives not a single cat. Cats have been imported hero by hundreds and in all varieties of color, breeding and size, but not ono has ever survived tho second week of its residence. Tho mid night serenade, the back yard clawing contest, and tho bootjack act, aro alike unknown to tho Leadvilliau, and his nightly slumber is sound mid sweet a calm and undisturbed repose. Tho healthiest, sleekest cat in St. Louis if brought to Leadville, would lose all interest in life tho moment it reached here, and, after moping mound iu a sickly, disconsolate way for n few days, resignedly havo a fit and givo up the ghost. A saloon-keeper brought a big Maltese from Denver, hoping tho animal would survive the tits long enough to be acclimated ; but it was no use. The cat had a fit the first day, two or three tho second, and then the number of attacks increased until, as the saloon man said, "there were moro fits than oats and tho cat had to give iu." However, as there are no rats iu I.jud villo, there is no real need of cats, and it makes very little diii'cronco whether thoy livo or die. The thiu atmmplioro at this latitudo is as fatal to the vermin as to their foe, and the iuhalfftants art) thus mercifully spared the infliction of both. WHY MIK HUSIT.VIXI).

Tlio outside of tho timber nppenrs sound, but the niiddlo is reduced to n condition of brown charcoal, l'eams subjected to such treatment nro concave on their sides, while thoso sensonod by simplo exposuro to tho air have somowhat convex sides, Unseasoned oak timber kept in a dry room nt 150 l ahrenheit loses 25 per cent of its weight in four days. In Japan earthquakes havo had n very noticcablo influence in determining tho nature of tho buildings. Architecture, ns understood in other parts of tho world, may bo said to havo hardly nny existenco there. Iu consequonco of tho frequent shakings to which tho houses nro subjected it is said that tho great city of Yeddo has to bo practically re built on nn averago every seven years. Firo nlmost invariably follows a great earthqunko iu Japan. A now distinguishing characteristic has been discovered by Dr. Egger be tween natural wine3 and thoso fabricated with tho addition of water. Puro natural wines contain three inorganic ncids, tho phosphoric, sulphuric, and silicia neidsbutuonitriencid. As the wnterused in sophisticating wines is almost ox clusively taken trom pump wells con taminated tilth tho impurities of the adjoining soil, ndnuxturo of water may be inferred if tho v.ino contains nny nitric acid. For making solublo glass 630 pounds of whitosaud and 3U) pounds of potash nro heated in nraverberntoryfurnaco until fusion is effected. These ingredients will givo 840 pounds of transparent homogeneous glass with a slight tingo of amber, but littlu soluble, even in hot water. To dissolve it tho broken frag ments aro introduced into a tligestor charged with n sufficient qunutity of water nt n high pressure to mako a sul ution marking to a5a Deautno. This solution coutai i silica nnd potash combined together in the proiortion of 70 to 30. Silica of soda is mado with 180 parts of sand and 100 parts of carbon ato of soda melted as above stated. Mr. F. C. Penrose has thus tersely summed up his opinion of the scionti llo uso of ornament on buildings in Ancient Greece: It is impossiblo to study Greek architecture completely without feeling its high character. One great lesson to bo derived from it is in tho economy of ornament. The Greek architects never frittered away their decorations over the wholo surfaoo of nn edifice, but carried out thoir wholo works with tho smallest possible assis tance from tho carver's hands. They obtained great variety iu detail with symmotry of general elevation, nnd this variety was not designed for tho purpose of giving pictnresqueness, but because it was true to the plan. A CUKIOl'S MOUNTAIN. Fifteen miles north of Atlanta, Georgia, rises Stone Mountain. Though frequently visited by picnio parties from that section, it is not as generally known nsits grander merits. America boasts of many higher mountains, this moasuihig but eleven hnidred feet, but has few showing such lemarkable beauties. The circumfcreuco of this mountain at tho baso is flvo miles. For moro than ono milo it rises nbruptly eight hundrod feet, is nearly four timos ns high as Hunker Hill Monument, and nearly as straight, then slopes gradually to tho summit. Of courso tho ascent from this sido is impossible, nnd on every sido except ono is accomplished with' great dilliculty. Tho viow from tho summit well repays great oflort, as, in addition to the usual charms of a southern land scape, ono can readily distinguish Look out and Keuesaw Mountains, so interest il)(; from their historical association, fctono MonrjUiu is composed of a line, light colorod granite. In somo places, where it has beon oxposoil to t' o action of sun mid water, it lias boo -io stripod, having tho appearance cf pieces of bright carpeting hanging over tho precipice. Seatterod oor tho mountain nio boulders, bohio of immense size, nnd worn by voter into curious forms. Tho Greeks of old woul.i) nsaign its formation to some god or goddess, und surround it with n fascinating myth. Wo moderns would rather reverently ascribe it to tho ono Creator, whilo curiously studying tho means ho choso to employ. No gmsseu grow on this mountain, but its absence is supplied by a reddish moss found only iu high altitudes, Oooasiont idly a stunted codar appears, presenting a peculiar appearance Not only is the tnink itself twisted by tho forco of tho wind, but each branch shows an un equal conflict with unseen forces. At tlj.e foot of the mountain azaleas afford a wealth d bloom in their season. At least boveu shades appear, varyiug from whito to deep rod. A yellow- variety also abounds. Theso, with a belt 6 woodland, furnish u sotting worthy tho beauty of this jewel, KJpuo Mountain has given its namo to a viUugo ftbgnt a milo away, wkero Utvelleis i tlio hoateil qi(pij may somo timos breatho puro air, In, looking upon so much of bonuty and grandeur, they may Hud rest for mind and soul, that rest which an intimate acquaintance with nature ulways brings.
