The Secret
of the universal success of
Brown Iron Bitters is sim- .,
ply this: it is the best Iron
preparation ever =4; is
compounded on thoroughl y
scientific, chemical and
medicinalinciples, and
does just what is claimed for
it—zio more and no less. -
By thorough and rapid
assimilation with the blood,
it reaches every part of the
System, healing, purifying
and. strengthening. Com
mencing at the foundation
it builds up and restores lost
health—in no other way can
lasting benefit be • obtained.

is especially true of a family medicine, and
it is positive proof that the remeds/imitated
is of the highest value. As soon as it . had
been tested and proved by the whole world
that Hop Bitters seas the purest, best and
moat valuable fainily medicine on earth,
many imitations sprung up and began to
steal the notices in which the press And peo
ple of the country had expressed the merits
of EL 8., 'ankn every way trying to in
duce suffering invalids to use their stuff int
stead, expecting to make money on the
credit, and good name of H. B. Many
others started nostrums put up in similar
style to H. 8., with variously devised names
in which the word "Hop" or "Hops" were
used in a way to induce ,people to believe
they were the same as Hop Bitters. All
such pretended remedies or cures, no mat

cially those with the word "Hop" or
"Hope in their name or in any way con

MISCELLANEOUS.
A WEDDING RECEPTION.
"Just :what I expected !" said Mimi • Dela
viguenmourufully. •
She was sitting out on the balcony, where
the mignonette and aster were all a blaze of
vivid color, to enjoy the sunset; but she
didn't enjoy it any more, after Mur:iade Vail
had told her the news. There was a band
playing in the little park, whose grecn grass
and sparkling fountain formed such 41,pretty
living picture, but she did not bear its music
any longer. •
sAMarried said Miss . Delavigue, lifting
her hands, and drawing a sepulchral sigh—
".married! Does the, whole world think,
and dream, and' trouble itself about nothing
else ?"
verry berry, auut," fetid: Muriade ;
"but—
',IN°, you are not," said Wm DebivigUe.
"Don't begih, at this late day, to tell me
Wiehoodn." •
"I don't mean' that rpi.sorry because I've
promised_ to marry
_Tom," said Miriade,
with a bright spot on each cheek, "because
that would be a faLehood. No, indeed,'Pm
not sorry ; but I mean I'm vaned to dirap
ixAnt,you, aunt." -. •
Muriade Vale we; a. dark, Spanish-eyed
girl, with brows like two perfect • arches ; -a
red, cherry-cleft mouth; and the most ro
guish of dints, scarcOly large enough to be
dignified with the name of dimple, that
came and went in Fs capricious fashion in her
chin. She stood, with folded hands 'and
head slightly drooped, before. the prim, el
derly lady, whose black silk dress resolved
itself into such4)erfect folds, and whose iron
gray curls hung so precisely on either side
of her face.
"Didn't I take you when yoit were seven
veers old, and bring you up as a young latti
should be brought up?" sadly demanded
bliss Delavigue.
"Yes, :aunt."
"And hayen't I had you edncited at
Mademoiselle Melisse's, with extra. piano
lessons, and your voice cultivated at two
dollars a lesson ?" went on the old lady.
"Yes, anus" confessed lilariade..
" And," s4erely went on the catechist,
"just as you were getting to be a real com
panion for me, iu my advancing years, you
forget all this, and run a with—Tom Whit
worth."
" I haven't run off with him, aunt 1"
flashed out Muriade, scarcely knowing
whether to laugh or to cry.
"But you would, if you couldn't .wring a
consent from me. You know you
said Miss Delavigue. "You'd scramble
down a ladder, or climb out of a fourth story
window."
"I love him, Stint," said Muriade. ear
nestly; "and be loves me."
" Rubbish I" said. Aunt Delavigne, with
an energy that nearly tipped her :eyeglasses
from her Boman nose. "Yon 'mesa - tbit
he loves ycitir expectations. He loves the
idea of inheriting my money, and this brown.
stone home, and all the shares in the Mexi
can silver mines. That's the beginning and
the end of .11 l"
" Neveri aunt :" cried poor Muria°.
" That's' well," grimly ;Announced Miss
Delavigue ; " because rye my own ideas on
the subject. I don't know that Pm at all
too old to marry . tayself.r •
" Aunt I" exclaiMed Idarisde. in surprise.
" Wily not ?" said Miss Delavigtte. " I
suppose there can be old fools' as well it
young ones."
, "But," pleaded Muriade, " are you in
earnest ?"
" Why shouldn't I be in earnest?"
"Aunt," burst out Muriade, "is it Major
Larkington ? Is it ? Oh, I know it is !
And oh, aunt, dear, I do so hope .:you will
[be happy ! And Major Larkingion' is per;
rectly, splendid, since he got his false teeth ;
only, aunt, those tedious stories of his atm%
the War in Florida--won't.yon get tired ,of
them, if you're obliged to hear that' even
day?"
Was Delivigue loolred in some perplexity
at her niece: She had supposed that this
hint would:have
• Miriade with _ dismay
and disaprlohrtment ;, but on the contrary
that young damsel appeared to accept the'
idea as the most natural thins in the world.
And Tom Whitworth, chancing, entirely by
accident, of course, to come in just' about
that time, coincicled in 3fuxiade7s view of
affairs entirely. ,
" The jolliest thing Ij ever hoard of !" de-,
clued Tom, who was a fair...complexioned
young Saxon, with curly yellow locks, a
blonde moustache and superb teeth—w,hich
latter was a fortunate circumstance, Waage
Tom. Whitworth wartelms WOW& "It's

'And - now, aunt," said' Ifuriadei radi

Mies Delavigue hesitated a• liAlle. She

out of town, so ow to economise in the arti

Delavigue gave Muriade the prettiest of

NAUSEA.
, The feeling of nausea is a very common
one. , •Sometimes it is felt slightly in , the
morning, and passes away after breakfast.
Sometimes it is severe, almost tc , vomiting,
and fasts for hours after wakinl; and this
may continue for weeks.
When slight, it is duo .to a disturbed state
of the mucous membrane of the stomach, cot
to a deranged condition of the liver ; or to
both. It may be relieved by various pnng•
eat substances—say cayenne-pepper ; or by
a warm bath; or by rest for a few days with
little food and plenty or fre r tsh air. , i
If saitere, relief may beobtained by m4 t
icines which Anicken the secretions of the,
kidneys, bowels and skin, or by counter-ii
'Ration; that is, by applying, say, a mustard
poultice over the stomach and liver for ten
or fifteen minutes every third or fourth day.'
Sometimes there is a persistent nausea'

"The amount used is gradually increased,

is, the victim will tell you he is obliged fre

HOTEL " BEATS."
Sharp Swindlers Who.SPsicusatleally Beat
the Bonifnices.
For a City so large as St. Louis, the hotels
are singularly 'free froni those pests of most
hostelries, the " beats." It is perhaps
owing to that that St Louis betel attaches
are left free to cultivate the graces and cour
tesies of the business. There is nothing
which so disturbs the daily life of the. clerk,
and so undermines his' faith in human na
ture, as his constant wrestle with the
" beat " question. The hotel beat is an ac
complished rascal, whose time and talents
ere mainly devoted to devising new schemes
by .which to dine and lodge in a luxurious
way at tho expense of somebody else. To
the 'detection and suppression of this ' class
the - hotelClerka of other Cities than*. Louis
devote a great deal of their time. St. Louis,
is previously -Stated, is .comparatively free
from the evil, one reason being that the city
is without thaLlarge floating population
that Chicago- other cities have, and,.
again, St. Louis a place generally avoided
by tramps, Jere y Diddlers, and beats of
all classes and d6grees. But the St. Louis
hotel man is /nevertheless on the alert.
Want of practice does not prevent him from
sizing up the-rand at first glance, o and what
he is unable to see on the - instant his mem
ory supplies. There is a perfect free
masonry among hotel men on the subject of
' itinerant frauds, and many a member of the
latter -class finds himself staggered at the
' very beginning of his career to find his do
-ings known to others as well as to himself.
Some time ago one of St. Louis' best known
Knights bf!the Register sent to an individual
who had been at the hotel but a day, though
he came with a goodly share of baggage, a
bill for the day's board, with a courteous
message that if he wished to rernain longer
he must pay in advance. The man came to
the office quite indignant, spluttered'arourul,
