Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel -and Surgical Institute, buffalo, N. Y., com pounded this medicine of vegetable ingredi ents which had an especial effect upon the istomacli and liver, rousing the organs to healthful activity as well as purifying and •enriching the blood. By such means the stomach and the nerves are supplied with pure blood; they will not do duty without it any more than a locomotive can run with out coal. You can not get a lasting cure of Dyspepsia, or Indigestion, by taking arti ficially digested foods or pepsin—the stom ach must do its own work in its own way. Do not put your nerves to sleep with so called celery mixtures, it is better to go to the seat of the difficulty and feed the nerve •cells on the food they require. Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Biliousness and Nervous Af fections, such as sleeplessness and weak, nervous feelings are completely cured by the 41 Discovery." It puts on healthy flesh, brings refreshing sleep and invigorates the whole system. Mrs. K.

Leunliauk once examined a section of human scalp that had nearly 12,000 hairs to tho squaro inch. One horse-power converted into gas oquals twelve candle-power; into elec tricity, equals IGOO candle-power. Solitary confinement is calculated, doctors state, to produco melancholia, suicidal mania and loss of reason. Nino months of absolutely solitary confinement are almost certain to re sult in the mental ruin of tho convict. A musical instrument, tho pyro phono, has been invented which ex tracts all tho tones of tho sculo from gas flames. Railroad authorities says that an ordinary locoinotivo has 300 horse power and burns a ton of coko for eighty milos of passenger truin travel. Tho human lungs retain tho air in their substance with such obstinacy that it cannot bo expelled by any com pression short of absolutely disinte grating tho tissue. A Manchoster (England) man car ries on his person u complete pick pocket alarm systom. Removal of his watch, pin, or other jewelry causes tho ringing of a bell. Tho electric plant weighs twenty-two ounces. An electric lighting plant at Ealing, England, is operated by tko waste heat from garbago destructors, and provision is made for condensing tho steam from tho engino with liquid sewage, chemically treated to make it innocuous. A novel plan of strengthening a fly wheel has been put into successful practico iu tho Mannesmaun Tube Company's works in Germany. Tho wheel consists mainly of wire, seventy tons of which are wound around tho hub, between two steel disks twenty feet in diameter, and completely fill ing the space. California is soon to try an indus try that has hitherto been confined in this country to New York City—that of whalobono cutting. While much of the world's supply of whalobono is landed in San Francisco from tho whaling 6hips, it has hitherto all beou sent to New York City and London to bo cut for use. Dr. Zacharin, tho lato Czar's physi cian, has devised a new method for stanching tho flow of blood. Steam is injected into tho wound through a catheter for a minute or less. Tho patient, under the inlluonco of chloro form, feols no pain and suffers no ill consequences. It is said that experi ments show that by this method por tions of tho liver, spleen, kidneys or lungs may bo romovod without serious loss of blood and without fatal effects. Pockot-knifo blades aro very un evenly tempered. Even in so-called standard cutlery some blades aro hard and some aro soft. For tho latter there is no remody, but tho temper of hard ones can easily be drawn slight ly. Take a kitchen poker and hont it rod hot. Have a blade that is to bo drawn bright and hold it on tho poker for a moment. When tho color runs down to violet bluo stick tho blado in a pieco of tallow or beef suet until cold. Dead wood is Defunct. Deadwood, North Dakota, of to day is a straggling village of houses and shops in a gulch. Tho creok that tears through tho town makes a noiso when men aro not talking politics on tho bridges. Seventeen years ago tho water of this stream was clear, and men could whip trout from its depths. It is red now, and when a stranger to tho village stands upon tho bridgo ho is told by the nativos that it ho wore to wheel a wagou from bank to bnuk there would be gold enough on tho tiros of tho wheels to pay his faro to Spearfish. And Speariisll is a goodly distance. "That water is colored by the waste of tho Homestake mine," these same natives will say. Continu ing they will declare "thero is gold in every rillle." Tho town is dead, though. Its dance-houses aro closed, the old-time mail coach is new a fea turo of a show iu tho East, and tho limbs of tho trees to which tho vigi lantes of old used to string their vic tims arc molting.—Chicago Heruld. Derelicts at Sea. The Admiralty aud Board of Trade Committee, of England, have recently published a curious report ou tho sub ject of tho destruction of derelict ves sels. The committee rocomiuouds tho better reporting of derelict vessels, as to their character aud location and tho publication periodically of such roport. But, ou tho other baud, they do not deem it nocessary to destroy abandoned vessels or to hold interna tional conferences to discuss the sub ject. The report further states that tho danger of collision with derelicts is probably much exaggerated, und that to publish tho information con ceriug derelicts given iu tho charts is sued by tho United Statos would bo likely to mislead and needlessly alarm English mariners. This casts a very unjust reflection upon tho value of tho United States charts. If tho derelicts aro a mcuaco to navigation, as tho committee's report virtually admits, they certainly deserve moro serious at tention.—Scientific American. Fine Funeral of a I'ct I'ng. Paris is laughing over tho cxtrava p;ant funeral of the pet dog of an Amerioeu family resCaing in the gay capital. The body was placed in two caskets, one of oak, the other leaden, conveyed in a hearse covered with flowers to Vnucresson, and there buried. A number of monrners in car riages followed tho hearse to tho ceme tery, and a monument costing $1)00 was erected over the grave, tho total expenditure for tho funeral amounting to oTor SSOO. —Chicago Herald.

Put a pint of stale bread and a pint of milk into a deop howl, and after covering let them stand over night iu n warm place. Iu the morning rub through a oolander nnd add to tho mixture a teaspoonful of salt, two tablospoonfuls of sugar, one teaspoon ful of soda (previously dissolved in two tablospooufuls of cold water), ono enpful of flour aud two eggs beaten well.

For CORN DAINTIES. Corn pops easily and nicely if tho popper iB passed gently over tho lids of tho stove, whero there is a bright fire. Corn Balls—For eight quarts of popped corn take ono cup molasses, half u cup of sngar and a small piece of butter; boil until it hardens in water (not brittle), thon mix with corn and make into balls. bugared Corn—For eight quarts popped corn take one pound of gran ulated sugar, ono teacup of water; boil until the syrup "strings" or forms soft ball in water ; flavor und pour over corn, and stir with wooden spoon until tho syrup sugars.—Now York Journal. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. A tabiespoonful of lime water to s pitcher of milk is very bonoflcial. A shovel of hot coals hoid over spotted varnished furniture will take out tho spots. After knives liavo been eleanodtboy may bo brilliuntly polished with chur ooal powder. Tie a strip of muslin on the end of a round stick and use to grease broud and cake pans. No reoeptaclo for soiled elothos, even if handsomely decorated, should be kept iu a sleeping apurtmunt. Onco a month is often enough for o dry shampoo. Too much washing is not good for tho hair that inclines to bo dry. In baking bread or rolls put a sauce pan of boiling water into tho oven. Tho steam will keep the crust smooth and tender. Thu merest dash of cinamon in a cup of chocolate after it is pourod is said to add a piquant and uudistiu guishablo flavor. Much of the heavy cako and broad is tbo result of tho oven door being banged when closed. Closo tho door as goutly as possible. Wear well fitting shoes about tils housework.
