The stage that day took a short cut by a new road, and when tho cunning uaiitornian was about to untie himself a grizzly bear came along and Bteparioi his leg. Twenty-eight dishonest tradesmen re cently came before the Toris tribunal of correctional police. A coal merchant for cheating in weight was fined $10 and imprisonment for a week ; a grocer was fined $10 for selling goods of poor quali ty ; fifteen tavern-keepers were fined $10 and imprisoned for adulterating their liquors ; nine milk dealers suffered a like punishment for watering their milk, and two bakers were fined $3 for using light weights. In the Alps recently Mr. and Mrs. Wainwright and Christian Grass, their guide, fell down a preoipice. Hans Grass, the other guide, was a man of strength, and the rope by which the four were corded together was stout, and throwing himself backward by sheer force of muscle he held them suspended and cried to his brother to cut steps in the ioe and mount, and be quick about it for he could not sustain them for more than half an hour. Mr. Wainwright had not dropped his hatchet, which he handed to the guide, who soon reached the edge of the cresAsse ; his brother, still sustaining the Wainwrights, gave him a hand and drew him up, then they hauled up their tourists, and all returned Jittle the worse for their frightfal adven ture. A correspondent of a New York paper who professes to have been cured of the opium habit at the New York State ine briate asylum, says that no drug can take the plaoe of opium, and that those persons who profess to cure the opium habit by giving a substitute are mostly charlatans. He was not entirely de prived of the accustomed stimulant at once, but was allowed a small portion for two weeks in daily decreasing doses. After the opium had been abandoned he ' was given belladonna by day and hydrate- of chloral at night. The chloral was to induce sleep ; this was reduced from what would be equivalent to about thirty grains of the salt until at the end of a month it was nothing at all. iBy this time he could sleep without it. He was cured in a month, and in the two months that he remained there after ward gained in weight twenty pounds. ' Concerning the use of tobacco the British Medical Journal says : What i linioal evidence is there of the good or bad effects of tobacco smoking ? There is a general opinion that smoking is harmful for adolesoents; less harmfulor, ns some .think, useful as well as agree able to adults. Is unything positive ly known on the subject apart frommere i ose guessing ? Considering the mass of loose assertion and vague specula oa which has been floating about so ag, we are singularly devoid of crisp, quotable evidence on the subject. Can iiy of the nine thousand medical prac t Uoners who weekly read these columns, ; rodace from their reading, or their ex orienoe well-defined evidence of any art as to the effects of tobacco smoking r n average healthy individuals at dif . rent periods of development? We -?e heard of the smoker's tongue, of oaoco amaurosis, and of the smoker's yfpepsia. How far is smoking a source ' f vil, and to whom ? The question is, i appears, entering into the phase of -relation in Germany. What are the Semarkable Gas Wells la Ohio. I correspondent of the Cleveland ider sajs that the natural gas wells : it Liverpool, Ohio, form one of the i wonders of the world. They are !ed in and around the city, and give utinual supply of the finest light, fras is almost as free as the air. It i practically nothing, and forms the vinator and heater of the town. The is lighted by it, and the street blaze away at noondav as well as idnight. It costs nothing to let i burn, and it takes trouble to put i out. Its light is not the flickering .ery'of poorly manufactured gas, . a flame which proximates in its - 'ttucy that of the electric light. Al t the entire fuel used in the town is i gas. It is conducted into the grates : stoves in pipes, and by it all the ng and heating are done. It is used in furnishing steam power for " of the largtst pottery and irou - .china manufacturing establish -, twenty-two of which are in .ition and busily engaged, employ : over two thousand hands, and which is considered justly entitled East icrpool to be designated as the ..aiio. city " of America. Regarding ' Juration of the supply from these s it'Is stated that the first well dis red now burns as brightly as when s first opened, and for the last years has never flagged in its oy, and none of those- now in -ua have ever shown any signs of ' out. For years Liverpool used wtured gas, never dreaming of ch supply that was wasting away under its very feet. The poor f of the manufactured product in i the opening of the AM well in Tbis well, which ia four hundred fty feet deep, has been furnishing ' ami light to several houses, pro 3 the steam for a large engine, and ig pottery kilns, every day for A enty years. i may be indifferent to the im . he makes on society, but not to i ade bv a number fourteen r-u Lie most Bennitive bunion. FARM, (1AIIDEJI AMI HOUSEHOLD Illata'Abeut Poultry. What ft different titste a fine, nicely uu quicmy lauenea towl lias, when served on the table, compared to one which has been foroed to scratch for all its living, and .then is consigned to the ppn in anytnmg but a fit oondition for food. Farmers realize the importance of fattening quickly when feeding beeves jor me Dnicuer, yet many do not seem to realize the fact that what holds good with that kind of meat is usually true when applied to fowls. Tenderness and juiciness are results of fattening quickly, while mere ordinary flavor and want of tenderness result from letting fowls run nntil wanted for use on the table. To enable one to fatten fowls or chicks quickly, it is absolutely necessary to give such food as will accomplish the purpose best, and to this end we unhesi tatingly recommend plenty of milk in any state, from fresh to thick. This should be fed in connection with a grain diet, for one counteracts any possible deleterious influence of the other. If kept in a darkened place, and fed un sparingly on milk, with grain in proper proportions, you will soon have some thing very choice to offer upon your tables to vonr fripliila an waII aq tn tnnr family. When milk is fed, no water is required for fattening fowls. EXAMINE THE COMBS. It is the easiest rhino- in flm xrnrl,1 you know how 'tis' done to tell when vonr fowls are in ill-health, nven in Mia incipient stages of any disease or Ail ment, if yon but examine your flock carefully. The oomb of -each fowl is a true index to the working of its system. If they be in ill-health, the comb will lose coior ana become far less firm in texture : as the malarlv color decreases, till a vat-v siVir hii-.l will show a comb almost devoid of scar let, being of a livid, dull crimson, or else Dale or ashv in innmraniv. Tf (Via cholera, or any other disease should i il n a m come into me dock, carefully examine the oombs of each bird, morning and night, and all those which arA wan fin or in that bright, rich color which denotes periecc neaiin, remove at once from the flock to a place remote, where they should at once be Dut under medical treatment. ' The COmb Of a fowl is &n linnsnf in?PT of the true inwardness, and should be daily consulted by the fancier who 1 1.1 1 til. It a a . vaiuea me neaim ana weu-being oi nis flock. Look at the comb of a laying hen Or TJUllet 1 She i in tha ViAto-Vir. nf health and strength, and carries her un- iaiiing Bign of nealtnfamess on her head, in the shape of a blood-red, bright and full comb. A vianrnnn rwk nr cockerel will carry the same sign, though not, perhaps, in so eminent a degree as his harem. TO WOULD-BE BUYERS we would say, buy early in the season, for you will then have a larger and bet ter lot Of birds to Hflflrr. frnm than it trnrt loft your purchase until the winter or spring, Dy wnicn time most breeders have their surnlns birds rh'nnnAArl nt nr at leaBt the best of those they intend to 11 T" ... . neii. buyers save Bomeining in tne feed bill by buying their birds late in the season, instead of early in the fall, for they do not have to feed them so long ; but this saving does not count for much, as the prices of the birds are correspond ingly higher, while the quality is gen erally inferior. Breeders like to dispose of their surplus stock early, so as to get their flocks in shape for "the following year's breeding, and to do this they are willing to make a concession in prices, and buyers should not be slow to see and take advantage of this reduction. Before viewing the thing carefully, we thought we were making a considerable thing of it by putting off our intended purchases until late in the spring, but a little experience soon taught us the fal lacy of such a method. We therefore advise our patrons and readers to adopt the fall purchasing, for it is alike best for buyer and breeder. The breeder can then give better care and attention to thoso birds which are left, which he could not do when he had large flocks of young chicks of different sizes and ages running around claiming his time and attention. American Poultry Yard. Green corn- on the ear is not only a very palatable food for growing chickens, but it is highly nutritions and valuable for a change m their fare. If it needs to be purchased, it is not an economical provision. Poultry World. Young ducks should not be permitted to go into cold water as soon as they ore hatched, as such a course is liable to produce cramps. A small pan of water with the chill taken off can be set near the coop; Keep chickens in the orchard. They will clean up the rotten fruit, hunt the onrculio and destroy the larva of the codling moth. Gravel, sand or some other similar substance is almost as essential to the fowls' well-being as is food, and if fowls are kept in confinement, and not sup plied with this, no matter how muoh grain you may supply, they will not thrive, or even keep healthy, for any length of time.

The ancient cathedral, memora ble like the tower for its associations with Galileo, has already been restored. An Academy (Loudon) correspondent says the work lias be cu " very carefully executed with all the skill that charac terises the unequaled marble-outters and mosaists of Italy." He adds that tho mosaics which adorn the entablature above the arcades which form the orna mental front have been "most admira bly renovated, and now have a beautiful effect." . A Stage Robber's Career. Not long ago a mail-coach on the line running from Santa Fo, New Mexico, to San Diego, California, was robbed by a single indi vidual. It was stated that tho bold rob ber sprang from behind a tree, covered the coach With his Winchester and de manded a general surrender. His per emptory demand was promptly met and he secured no inconsiderable amount of nionev from the exoress and registered packages. A few days after this occurrence, a de tective by the name of Evans came down the line to snot and rnntnre t.lm darinn robber. Upon reaching the identical place where the former robbery had oc curred, the driver reined up. It was now just dark. Said the driver t Evans, the detective, Here's the very place where he got away with us, and there's the tree from behind which the rascal appeared when he called upon me to stop and ordered the passengers to sur render." Hardly had these words been uttered when, to the profound amaze ment of both detective and driver, they found themselves covered again by the same man, with his Winchester, and as he appeared, in response to what the driver had said, he exclaimed, "Yes, and the rascal's here yet. Throw off that express." . Evans, the detective, made a move for his gun, but the highwayman warned him not to touch his gun under penalty of death. The express was therefore thrown off the stage, the driver and the detective were forced to jump down, stand and hold up their hands, while the robber secured such plunder as he sought'. Evans himself was deprived of about $300. After the robber had ac complished his purpose ho rode off, and the detective and driver, with two or three other passengers, proceeded on their way, evidently satisfied that they had escaped as easy as they did. This man continued his course of rob bing the mails for several weeks, during which time he took nineteen stages. Finally, however, deputy pheriff Van Alstyne, of Pima county, Arizona, with a;oe, succeeded in finding the fellow, and wh)le preparing to undertake his 'twentieth robbery. Denying him any opportunity to defend himself, he was riddled with bullets, and thus his career was brought to a close. Well-Toned Hymenta. Systems toned and renovated with HoBtet ter'i (Stomach Bitters are most effectually de fended from disease. That supreme invigorant soon overcomes that distressing feebleness consequent upon ailments which impoverish the blood and reUx the musoles. Vigor, appe tite, sleep return to the wasted frame, and everv physical facu'ty gains greater activity through its benign inliaeuce. Nor is this all, for the Bitters have a most genial and cheering effect upon the mind of the despondent invalid, which is the natnral effect of the increased bodily vitality which they prodaoo. Nervous symptoms disappear in oonBcqnence" of the use of this medicine, and the evil consequences sure to result from a premature decay of the physioial energies areverted. Dyspepsia, liver complaints, rheumatio ailments, urinary and uterine irregularities, malarial diseases, and many other disordered conditions of the sys tem, are remedied by the Bitters. That Bov.

That boy "is father to the man" who must have his cjgars and any other mas culine luxury his contemptible selfishness oraves, while his poor sickly wife must do the work of two women (" girls waste more than they earn," he says), and for the want of a little money to purchase a few bottles of Dr. Pieroe's Favorito Proscription, the sovereign remedy for female diseases and weaknesses, she is literally dying by inches and all beciuse of that masouline selfishness that would not divide the childish luxury with his playmate, and now tacitly refuses his wife tho luxury of health. When neglectful of the duty assigned to it by nature, that of secreting the bile, the liver should be disciplined with Dr. Mott's Vegetable Liver Pilla which will speedily romedy its in action and stimulate it to a vigorous perform ance of its secretive function. Constipation, which is an invariable accompaniment of liver disorder, is always overcome by this great anti bilious cathartic, and indigestion, chronic and acute, is completely cured by it.
