The latest news from Africa is that! the Zulu King ha.- the croup: this news j is doubted by many, but notwithstand ing, tbe friends of the king have sent him a case of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup mod consequently know his cure is cer- j Uin. Xotone woman in ten thousand can open the front door without glancing up and down the street before closing it again. Something for all the Preachers. Rev, H. 11. Fairall, D. D., editor of the loica Methodist, Bays editorially, in tbe November (1883) number of his paper: "We Lave tested tbe merits of Ely's Cream Balm, and believe that by a thorough course of treatment, it will cure almost every case of catarrh. Ministers, as a class, are afflicted with head and throat troubles, and catarrh seems more prevalent than ever. We capnot recommend Ely's Cream Balm too highly, Not a liquid nor a snuff. Applied to the no3trils with tbe finger. A young man with a pair of band painted suspenders generally finds a room too warm to work in with his coat on. When Doctors Disagree it will be time enough to doubt the re liability of Kidney-Wort. Doctors all agree that it iB t> most valuable medi cine in all disorders of tbe Liver' Kid neys and Bowels, and frequently prescribe it. Pr. P. C. Ballou of Monkton says: "The past year I have used it more than ever, and with the best results. It is the mopt successful remedy I have ever used." Such a racommendanion speaks for itself.

They don't know just what is tbe matter but they suffer from a combination of indescribable acheß and pains, which each month seems to grow worse. Tbe only sure remedy known that will counteract this feeling and restore perfect health is Brown's Iron Bitters. By rapid as similation it purifies tbe blood, drives oat disease, gives health and strength to every portion reached by tbe circu latory system, renews wasted tissues and restores robust health and strength. —Art is extending to book covers, where eccentricities are most numerous. The Highest Education There is a great deal that is wrong in onr modern method of education. It teaches a man to be a gentleman, but Jet does not give him the power of mak ig a living. It fetuffis him with facts and meaningless words, Phrases and theories, bat does not enable him to think for hinißelf and become a man in the highest and best sense. His edu cation is too general and not practical enough. All classes should be taught that Parana—the great remedy com pounded by Dr. Hartman—is the very thing he needs for the restoration of hia health and the toning up of the body. Being compased of pure vegetables sub stantes and containing no poisonous minerals, it is just the thing for all clauses of people, and all should learn at once that it is to their interest to inquire into the merits of this medicine, for therein lies the highest education.

Marshall, of the United States Engineers, stationed at I Vicluburg and in charge of river im provement work at Lake Providence, La., for the Mississippi River Com mission. Capt. Marshall, in a report just made to H. B Harold, of the Com mission in this city, communicated his discovery. The statement is as fol lows: "A few piles have washed out of the five-row dyke of Myersville chute. There was a thick foot-mat and a cubic yard of stone pier running to the foot of the dyke. A remarka ble phenomenon is shown here. A pile five feet longer than the rest, mark ed to indicate the iront of the dyke at high water, still remains standing up right and firm two feet below the lower row. The drift is arched across the opening, and there is no pn ssure upon the pile. It has traveled sixty-two feet down the stream erect and firmly imbedod in the sand. Such cases bare been reported heretofore, but not cred ited by mo, This case I observed myself. It can only be accounted for on the supposition of a bodily move ment of the sand foundation." "In other words," s&id Msjor Harold, "it would deem as if the mate rial in the trough or bed of the river was in motion like an Alpine glacier, which, although a solid river of ice, winding through the rocky ravines of the mountains, has an actual progres sive motion. We may suppose the mud and sand which make up the de posit is undergoing bodily translation like a glacier. Iu no other way as it appears, can this pile, maintaining its solid bold in the mud and sand and its perpendicular position be accounted for." This phenomenon, while it is not unknown to sc once, has not here tofore been observed in connection with tho Mississippi river. •—A savings-bank cashier in Wis consin has jnst died from the bite of a mad cat.

Make the wash in the ordinary man ner, then place it over the fire and bring it to a boil. Then stir into each gallon . a tablespoonful of powdered alum, a hall pint of good flour paste, a half pound of glue dissolved in water, while j it is boiling. The wash, it is said, nearly equals paint. Why They Call Him "Old Man." "Yes, that's sadly so," said Jenkins, "my hair is turning gray and falling out before its time. Use something ' I would, but most hair restorers are dangerous." "True," answered his friend, "but Parker's Hair Balsam is as harmless as it is effective. I've tried it, and know. Give the Balsam a show and the boys will soon stop calling you 'Old Man Jenkins.'' It neyer fails to restore the original color to grav or faded hair. Richly per fumed, an elegant dressing. Mr. Chas. K. Seltyre, Wrightesville, Pa., says: "I u*ed Brown's Iron Bitters as a tonic and it did more for me than I thought it would." —A rolling paragraph gathers no cred it. t&T A correspondent of the Husband man recommends water impregnated with gas tar for the purpose of destroy ing the Colorado beetle on potato vines. It hps proved more effectual than Paris green, and has been used with equal effect on current bushes. Two quarts of gas tar to a pailful of water a r e the proportions used' and tha yines or bushes are sprinkled by means of a watering-pot. —The Postmaster General says that if the bill providing for a post-office building in every town having 2,500 inhabitants is amended so as to limit the cost of the building in each case to $15,000, and provides that they shall be under the supervision of the Post master General, he will approve it. Mr. Hill, the author of the bill, says it will be so amended and passed. —Are you going to moye this year ? Consumption Cured.
