'"Twenty years «£< > I was troubled with a disease of the lungs. Doctors afforded me 110 relief and considered my case hopeless. I then began to use, Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, ami, before I had finished one bottle , found relief. I •ontinucd to take this medicine until a ¦uve was effected.

Sir John Lubbock's oldest ¦ queen an has reached the age of fourteen, anc stilllays fertile eggs. TheLondon firemen are to be clothed in asbestos garments, which will not burn. The experiment has been tried already in Paris and works welL One of the features of the new elec- trio light plant in the city of Utica, N. ST., is the big belt connecting engine wd dynamos. The leather in it ro- juired the skins of 646 adult cows. Dr. F. Nansen, of the Bergen Mu eeum, proposes crossing Greenland's in- terior next summer on the snow-runners which "gave such remarkable progress during Nordenskjold's last trip. Baron Nordensk jold is himself confident of the success of this attempt to traverse Greenland's ice. A new tanning agent, called pyro- fuscine, has been extracted from coal- iust by means of caustic soda. The ;anning process is somewhat coinpli- :ated, but it is claimed to be fifty per sent, cheaper than the bark process, and wenty to thirty per cent, cheaper than he alum process. A trial of a velocipede on rails hfti been made at Pantin with most satis- factory results, a speed of twenty-five miles an hour having been reached. This machine, made for the French en- gineer corps, rests on four wheels of a diameter of thirty inches. It only weighs fourteen stone. It is impossible to put electric wires under ground in New Orleans, because the water level is but three feet below the surface. So strong towers, 1 50 feet high, are erected, and oh these tele- jraph and telephone wires are carried ibove the public streets. These towers ire also used to sustain stand pipes, which have nozzles at different eleva- :ions where hose can be attached ia ease of fire. The revelations of the microscopi promise to add largely to our knowledge of the inhabitants of Egypt of three or four thousand years ago, by informing us as to the kinds of food in use at thai time. The»material which forms on the teeth, known commonl y as tartar, is composed partly of the portions of the food consumed, and this deposit was re- noved from the teeth of mummies and nicroscopically examined, revealing in nany instances what tho food of the jerson had been. Some remarkable earth quake phenom- ena have been discovered in an isolated section between Summerville and Charleston, S. C, which bears evidence of being one of the foci of the great shr.ck of August, 1886. Tho ground for miles was literally overturned by the shock. There arc many deep pits on the margin of which have been throw- ing up pure white sand such as is seen only on the seashore. On this sand has sprung up a dense growth of sea plants. It is evident that the seeds from which these plants sprung were ejected from great depths where they have doubt- less been buried many centuries without losing their germinating powers. The largest passenger engine evei constructed has been built in the Schenectady (N. Y.) Locomotive Works for the Michigan Central Rail- road and is calculated for express and passenger purposes. It is a ten-wheel engine, having three pairs of coupled driving wheels and a four-wheeled truck. Tbe drivers are 68 inches in diameter. Tho cylinders are 19 inches in diameter, with 24-inch stroke. The boiler, which is of Otis steel, is 5£ inches in diameter and has 147 two-inch semi-steei flues. The fire box is 8 feet long by 42 7-8 inches wide, and, like many recently built, is placed above the frames, which gives increased width. The tank is carried on two four-wheel channel iron trucks. The capacity of the tank ia 3800 gallons, and the tender has a capacity of eight tons of coal Castor oil beans will grow whereve. corn of the largest varieties will mature. It is a tropical plant and requires 12C days of warm weather to mature th< seed. It isgrown much in the saint way as corn is but on account of it; large leaves is given about one-half more space.

The great horse mart of New York ia called Bull's Head, not on the lacas a non lucendo principle, but because it used to be the market for the beef cattle supplied to the city. For thirty years at least it has been devoted to horse trading, and its old name stuck to it chiefly because the Bull's Head hotel still stands there, although enjoying sadly diminished patronage. In out- ward appearance the place looks jus! what it is, a string of about a dozen stables, belonging to as many owners, who have contrived to monopolize the supplying of medium grade horses to ihe street car companies and business nen of the metropolis. The supply of animals is drawn largely from In diana and Illinois , al- though a considerable percentage are bred in New York state. Each of the dozen dealers keeps buyers constantly on the lookout. All the animals are bought with the utmost care and regard for certain qualifications. They must be between fifteen and. sixteen hands high, of about 1000 pounds in weight, and between five and seven years old. The purchasers are busiest spring and fall and keep registers which enable them to tell pretty well where desirable animals are to be bought. The breed- ing of «such horses is the most profita- ble part of the business of the farmers in the districts laid under contribution. They have gradualW worked into a stock of brood mares the produce oj which is neither too fine nor toe coarse, aud run with great uniformity in the matter of size and quality. About fifty thousand horses are han- 31ed each year by the monopolists of the Bull's Head mart. The street car companies send down a man with an or- 3er for so many horse3. The examin- ition by the buyer is of the most super- ficial sort. Both buyer and seller have found that absolute fairness is tho best basis to trade on, and no difficulty is experienced in rectifying improvidently made bargains. If a horso proves to have been suffering from some incurable disease when sold, the dealer takes him back and sends another in his place. This, however, happens very seldom. The systematic way of purchasingleaves rery little room for mischance. The liorsos sold to the car companies generally fall back into the traders' hands a:ter from three to five years' use between the tracks. They be- come tender in the joints and jammed in the legs, so that they arc of no use to the car companies, who take anything they can get, generally less than $40. The horse soon finds his way to the fur- rows of Long Island and Jersey farmers svho often manage to get many years plough service out of the broken-down inimals. Bull's Head, since it became a horse- market, ha3 contributed at least one Alderman to the City Fathers, and the members of the guild who trade there havegenerally escaped the imputation of over-shrewd dealing which most horse traders are obnoxious to. The hotel has come to be chiefly re- markable as the place where Daniel Drew scraped together tho beginnings of the great fortune which he accumu- lated but failed to hang on to. Not s few of the older men identified with the place recall with interest anecdotes of Drew when he was a young man and of his shrewdnes s as a bargainer even imong the very shrewd men who crowded tho horse market at that time. —[New York Graphic. "BULL'S HEM)." A. Noted Spot in New York De- voted to Horse Trading. They stood in front of a grocer's oi Michigan avenue yesterday, and one o: them looked very sly and cunning as h( said: "Let's come a joke on him. I'll take that turkey down and hide it and we'll liear him rave." He took the bird off and started to hide it in a barrel around the corner, when an officer who was coming up and iad seen the theft took him by tho col- ar. "Say, it is all in fun," protested tho man. "Oh, is it? Well, you can explain at headquarters." "But the grocer knows me." "Does he? Come in and we'll see.1 The situation was explained to the grocer, and he looked hard at the man and replied: "I can't say .that I know you." "But I have been trading here righi along. My name is on your books." "Let's see !you owe lie a balance oi seven dollars.*' ''I—I guess so. ° "And have owed it for four months. I can't say as I know you." "But I'm going to pay. Here-~take it out of this ten. I always pay my 3ebts." "Exactly—three dollars back. Offi- cer, I think I know him. Yes, I'm sure I do. He took the turkey for fun, and you may let him go."— [Detroit Free Press. He Knew Him. Notwithstanding the wonderful di- mensions of California trees, the reputed iargest tree in the worll is not to be found among them, but is situated in Mascoli, near the foot of Mount iEtna. It is called the " Chestnut Tree of a Eundred Horses," and moreover is be- lieved to be one of the oldest trees in the world. Its name arose from the re- port that Queen Jane of Arra^on, with her principal nobility, took refuge from a violent storm under it3 branches. At one time it was supposed that it con- sisted of a clump of trees united, but on digging away the earth the root was found entire at no great depth. Five enormous branches arisa from one great trunk, which is two hundred and twelve feet in circumference. A part of the trunk has been broken away and its in- terior is hollow, and is large enough tc contain a flock of sheep or two car- riages driven abreast through it. It stillbears an abuadance of fruit, and its collectors have built a hut within the trunk, the bettor to promote their work.—[Prairie Farmer.

"A dude egg? What is ;hat?" "A fresh one." The frequent changes in the Cabinets of Europe lead one to believe that the Ministers are Methodists. In Arkansassquirrels are so plentiful that they are sold by the bushel. They are generally shot by the barrel. The best mechanic in the world can't make a pair of boots that are all right One of them is bound to be left. A physician says: "If a child does not thrive on fresh milk, boil it." This is too severe. Why not whip it? There are two kinds of clubs, social and constabulary, and they are both efficacious in knocking a man out. It has been averred that a lady with a liamond ring will scratch her nose in a jiven period four times asoften as other women. Tramp (at door):I feel so very mucr distressed.

His quick retort was, "Only criminals are afraid of long sentences." She: "Before we were married you promisedto fulfill every wish you read in my eyes, but I don't find itso at all." He: "Yes, since that time I have grown rery near-sighted." A young lady recently presented hei lover with an elaborately constructed penwiper, and was astonished the fol- lowing Sunday to see him come intc church wearing it as a cravat. Two young writers were talking oi their hopes, their ambitions. ''If I have not made a reputation by the time I'm :hirty I shall blow my brains out," as- lerted one. "My dear boy," replied the )ther, " you are as good as dead." A horrible story comes from Africa Two travelers, George and Annie Moore were captured by cannibalistic native; and sent to the chief of the tribe as i present. The chief ate George first, and then remarked, with a sigh, "I'v( had enough ; I can't eat Annie Moore. The most novel complaint of impure tnilk reported is that of a London boy, boarded out under the poor-law regu- lation, who reported that the milk given lim out of town, instead of being taken >ut of clean tins, had been squeezed out )f a nasty cow, and he " seed 'em a-do- ng it." A teacher noticing that upon an ex amination paper the Isthmus of Panami was overy time spelled "Panamaugh,1 wascurious to know thename of the au- thor of such extraordinary spelling, anc turning to th.3 head of the previou; page, found the child's name to be Katie Hummebaug h. y Prof.Proctor, speaking of the ,pos- sibility of human beings flying, says: "Th o great difficulty which man has irst to overcome is that of maintaining lis balance.' 1 Doesn't the professor enow that the difficulty of maintaining lis balance has caused more than one nan to.fly—to Canada?

The watch without hands which has recently been brought before the public is simply a watch with,ordinary wheel- work in which the intermediate teeth are wanting and which gear every min- ute and hour only. The contrivance, though admitted to possess some in-^on- srenieneies, is on the other hand claimed ;o present some genuine preferences >ver the ordinary make. Thus, tha ;onstruction not only allows thereading :o be accurate, but also permits of esti- mating the time that separates each passing minute. There is not only ar optical signal given, but alsoan acous- tic one, since at every change of figure the ear perceives a slight sound, anc; consequently it becomes useless for one toexamine his watch in order to meas- ure a given interval of time—a feature of special value to engineers, physi- cians, officers, travelers and observers. The experimenter knowsexactly when a minute begins and ends.—[New York Sun. A Watch Without Hands. A Kaffir vanished and groans were heard. He was searched for withoui result, but on the following nigh. -, groans were still heard. The searct continued and the man was found mur- dered. His murderer wasarrested and executed, but the groans still continued , to the dismay of their auditors. At last they were traced to a mocking bird.

An African Mocking Bird. Its Dirty Streets, Queer Shops, and Emperor's Palace. When Sir Henry Parkes returned to Pekin he said he had come back to ''dust, dirt and disdain;" and most travelers will find this sentence, sweep- ing though it may be, rather lacking in D's than otherwise. However much Pekin may be described, \\a condition would still remain inconceivable tc those who have not seen it ; all the filth thrown into the roadway—a mixture of tttlid and abominations, in the ruts in which the springless cart-wheels arc forever sticking! You get along Curio street—supposed by some people to be the most beautiful inChina—by walking along the little bits of crumbling ground in front of each shop, and then winging yourself around the wooden pillarthat supports the roof , so as to avoid getting soiled by the quagmire Lelow. The shop fronts are of wondrous carved wood ; highly gilded signs hanf out into the street; wonderful beam; with curved ends project across the roadway, and strings from which dangle red feathers. But I must say that the last thing I am struck with is the magnificenceof the scene. The shops ire pleasant enough. One goes into a back parlor, set out like a miniature nuseum; through that acourtyard ; then an inner sanctum not overcrowded witl pretty things, and with plenty of chairs. But the prices of the curios are ex- orbitant;so that one can only be glad that Pekin shopkeepers bow and smile as politely on non-buyers as on custom- ers. Indeed, it is customary for them to send their wares on inspection tc thn. 3ifferent houses day after day. " Num- ber one thing !sis; dollars," say they. Reply unwarily with "Half a dollar," and it is yours ; whereupon you feel sure at once the thingis no real curio at all and worth nothing. This bargaining is a great amusement each day after break- fast. Pekin furs are lovely, and there are lovely white feather-like Thibetan 3heepskins, red-backed Mongoliansquir- rels, and, most fascinating of all, cinna- mon or cream-colbred fox skins, so soft that they could almost ba passed through the traditional ring. The great sights of Pekin are behind closed gates at present. Sometime: some are open; others never. We go tc the clock tower; a wattle fence is hur- riedly erected across the opening as we approach. Wo go to the examination ball—sometimes open, but shut today. Df course you can go again, if you liked the smells last time. It i3 adjoining ;he observatory ; where the carved bronzesupports of the instruments weird dragons chained tomountains les they should escape, redundant foliage, etc.—deserve *•> be one of the wonder; of the world. I am glad to have seer them; I should like to see them again. But, oh dear I the smells! and the mac with loathsome sores and the hideous voice, who wants to try gentlemen's cigars- for them and to touch ladies' iressea, who fights with strangers for a larger tip when he has more than 3nough already. Tnat man is of a piece withPekin. The outside of the emperor's palace- all that any European has ever seen of it since the days of Marco Polo—is ideal a fairy palace. High walls shut in the forbidden city; a moat surrounds them ; and then there are the glistening yellow tiles, the roofs built by the old Mongolsin imitation of their tents. Then there is the green hill with its trees, and palace roofs climbing up it. rhe entrances are of deep blue, bright green, golden dragoned, withhere anc there a touch of vermilion. The sky is blue above, tho sun shines, and there in the roadway sits a child stark naked,its face so dirty that it is impossible to see what it is like, its head misshapen with disease. No wonder the present emperor never cares to come outside, and is supposed nevei to have done so. The world inside must be far more de- lightful, if it matches with those glitter- ing fairy roofs.— [St. James Budget. PEKIN. A Vivi d Pen Picture of the Great Chinese City. It was the Yosemite Indians who gavi most troublein these early times to the settlers, and it was in following there up that the Mariposa Battalion first be- lield the granite walls and leaping waters of the Yosemite Valley, and this body of militia were the discoverers of that land which has since been the idmiration of 40,000 awe-stricken be- lolders. From them came the first itories or waterfalls 1000 feet high, which subsequently proved to be more than double the height, and it was the1 who first spoke of the towering Sentine rock, the Three Brothers, the gian forest groves and other natural wonders. Soon after this discovery the lecturer, accompanied by Thomas Sayera anc WalterMiller,visitedthevalley and Mr, Hutchings said of their impressions: "Our souls were filled to overflowing, [t was sublimity materialized in granite, ind beauty crystallized in a, gigantic :orm." Five days' sojourn in the val- ley were briefly narrated and the lectur- sr asserted that the first view of tha FosemiteFallswas published in 1855, followed in 1856 by a series of views from sketches made during that trip. Before turning to a description of the journey through the valley by the aid of the stereopticon views, Mr. Hutching* quoted the opinions of several well- known men who have visited the Yo- semite. Horace Greeley preferred it to Home from St. Peter's, Mount Blanc or the Alp? from Like Como. Starr King said neither thj Alps nor the An- les possessed such sublime grandeur, md Ralph WaldoEmerson said that it was the only spot he ever found that 3ame up to and surpassed all that was laid of it.—[San Francisco Call.
