As easily answered as asked. It is
for Dyspepsia. It is a special rem

Nothing more than this. We believe
August Flower cures Dyspepsia.
We know it will. We have reasons
for knowing it. To-day it has an
honored place in every town and

largest manufacturing plants in the
country, and sells everywhere. The
reason is simple. It does one thing,
and does it right. It cures dyspepsia®

Submarine Photography.
A short time ago Louis Boutat
brought himself to the knowledge ol
scientific naturalists by undertaking
an exploring tour of the Red Sea.
from which he brought back a strangi
and curious collection of fish and shells,
embracing several specimens entirely
unknown. Continuing his researches
on the coast of France, Mr. Boutan as
sumcd a diver's costume in order tc
observe at the bottom of the sea tht
metamorphoseßof certain mollusksim
possible to cultivate in equaria. Hi
was struck with the wonderful beauty
of submarine landscapes, and resolved
to photograph what he could, since 8
simple description would savor to<
much of an over vivid imagination. A1
first he worked in shallow water wit!
a water tight apparatus, and the clear
ncss of the water allowed him suffi
cient light to sensitize the plates. Bui
proportionally as the water deepened
clearness diminished, and the motioD
of the waves clouded his proofs. Then
the young scientist conceived the idee
of utilizing magnesium in an appa
ratus of his own invention. This ap
paratus consists essentially in a barre.
filled with oxygen and surmounted by
a glass bell containing an alcohol lamp.
On the flame of the lamp, by means ol
a mechanical contrivance, powdered
magnesium is thrown, flaring as often
as a view is taken. The barrel h
pierced with holes on the lower side
in such manner that as the oxygen di
minishestho sea water enters, so pre
scrviug the equilibrium between ex
ternal and internal pressure. By till
aid of this machine lie has already
made great progress in a direction new
to naturalists, and one likely to con
fer permanent benefits in the results
obtained by their science.— Frank Les

I It has become so much the custom

"There are over 350 churches in this
city, from the pulpits of which ring out
700 warnings eaoh Sabbath to those
who have ears to hear. These churches
have a seating capacity of '250,000.
In addition to this thres of the theaters
and one large hall and several smaller
ones are utilised on Sunday morning
for religious purposes. Supposing that
each of these churches are but half
filled at eaoh service, that would pos
sibly be a fair average for this or any
other city, would give an attendance
of 126,000 for each servioe, two services
eaoh Sunday (the Roman Catholic aud
Episoopal churches have more,) will
show an attendance of 300,000. Add
to the 8,000 or 10,000 who attend the
several services in the aforesaid thea
ters and halls will bring the total up
to considerably over 300,000 churcn
attendants each Sunday in Chicago
out of a population of 800,000. Then
take into consideration the many Bun
day-schools, some of them having an
average attendance of 4,000 and 6,000.
So, notwithstanding all that might be
said about the wickedness of Chicago,
she will compare favorably with like
cities even in Puritan Canada."
A Habit Died Out.
The liabit of inhaling snuff was so
prevalent fifty years ago, not only with
gentlemen but with many elderly
ladies, that there were few counting
rooms or offices that did not have a
huge box supplied with the favorite
maccaboy snuff and the sweet smelling
bean on the desk, counter or bracket
specially arranged for it, and callers
would inhale a pinch or two, then draw
forth a huge yard square red silk
handkerchief, and there would be a J
resounding blast. Fortunately, no 1
American then wore a mustache. Men
did not carry white linen liandker- I
chiefs, but sometimes used white silk :
ones in those days. As bad personal 1
habits usually increase, it's a marvel
that this one died out some years ago.

Guilds in China.
Speaking of employer's unions, nil
classes of Chinese men have their guilds
and those are almost as old as the coun
try. One of the finest Club Houses of
Cfiina is that of the Canton merchants
Df Foo Cliow. It is made up of a groat
number of finely finished rooms clo
gantly furnished in Chinese fashion
and located in the best part of the city.
Here the merchants come to drink tea
and to chat. They have a temple and
a theater connected with it, and the
. club consists of five hundred members.
! i visited at Shanghai some of the finest
i specimens of Chinese architecture I
have seen. Tliey wero guild halls he-
I longing to tea and rice merchants, and
they had wonderful gardens of caves '
1 and rocks built up in the busiest part
•of the city. These guilds regulate the
commerce of China. Thev fill the rate
; of interst, the time on which goods may
I be sold, the weights and the standard
lof goods. A member using different ,
scales than the one prescribed is fined,
and a man acting contrary to the guild
can, in many instances, not go on with
his business. One of the druggists'
guilds has just adopted some new rules |
which lie before me. Those prescribe ;
that accounts shall be settled three I
times every year, and that a discount
of 5 per cent, may be allowed on cash j
j transactions. No member in the guild j
shall be permitted to trade with the
[ others while lie is in debt to a member
of the guild, and any member who vio- ,
lates these laws shall pay for two thea- I
ter plays for the guild, and for the
drinks and a feast for twenty members.
Some of these guilds prescribe that
promissory notes shall be dated on the
day of sale, and all of t'hem fix the
rules of giving credit. The tankers'
guild fix all matters relating to inter
est, and these different organizations
make the dealings of foreigners with
the Chinese more safe than such deal
ings would be in other countries. The
Chinamen respects his contract, and if
| he does not his guild makes him.—
