Cause and Cure for Snoring.
A writer in tlie Scientific Monthly
tells how the habit of snoring is acquir
ed, and. better, how it may be cured.
And, first, the cuusc: The air reaches
the lungs through two channels, the
nose and mouth. The two currents
meet in the throat just below the soft
palate, the end of which hangs loose
and swings backward and forward, pro
ducing the snoring. If the air reaches
the lungs as it should, through the nose,
no noise will be made. If it reaches
the same through the mouth, the palate
will make more noise, since it is not
the natural channel, but when it rushes
through both of these channels, then it
is that the sound sleeper banishes rest
from the pillows of his companions by
his hideous noise. The remedy for
snoring is to keep the mouth closed ;
and for this purpose Dr. Wyeth, the
writer of the article referred to, lias in
vented an article so cheap that anyone
can make it, ami no snorer should be
without it. It consists of a single cap,
fitting the head snugly, and a piece of
soft material fitting the chin. These
are connected by elastic webbing, which
is connected with a head capjnear the
ears. This contrivance prevents the
jaws from dropping down, and thereby
renders snoring impossible. The great
trouble will be to get people to adopt
this invention, since the most upright
and honest men and women will rarely
if ever, confess that they snore, and
will be very indignant if accused of it.
Asa further inducement to the introduc
tion of this contrivance of Dr. Wyeth,
it may be added that breathing through
the mouth is very detrimental to the
health, and that many diseases of the
throat and lungs are contracted or ag
gravated thereby.
A White Race in Africa.
London Spectator, June 20th.
Major Serpa Pinto, the Portugese
traveler in Africa, who recently turned
up at Durban, has been lecturing on his
travels at Lisbon. In his address,
which is translated in the Standard, lie
testified distinctly to the existence of
a white race in central Africa, living in
territory between the Cuchi and the
Cubango, lie himself spoke to men of
Ids race, whom be describes as “ whiter
than Caucasians,” w-ho call themselves
Cassequsrs, and are not bad people, al
though totally uncivilized. They have
tufts of hair on their heads like short
wool. They have eyes like the Chinese
and are powerful and live a nomadic
life.
Singular and Fatal.
XorthcauUrn rrogretn, IGWi inut.
We are informed that Mr. Brantlv
Strickland, of Banks county, happened
to a singular and fatal accident on last
Thursday. Mr. Strickland, we hear,
had dammed up a creek on his premises
for the purpose of irrigating some part
of his land. After the water had risen
to a sufficient depth, he concluded to
jump in and take a hath ; and in so do
ing. it is supposed his head stuck in the
mud and his body went over with such
force as to dislocate his neck. A broth
er-in-law was with him, and rendered all
assistance possible; but the poor man
died iu eight hours after the occurrence.
The Drunkard’s Wife.
Deep down in the secret recesses of
the neglected and abused wife, what
thoughts must suggest themselves as
she looks at her bloated and bleared
husband. Pinched for the merest ne
cessities of life, discomfort and disgrace
meeting her at every turn, what must,
be the estimate of him who once vowed
to love, cherish and protoether, llis
wantof decent manhood has dispelled
every dream of her girlhood, and in its
stead is hitter, blighting despair, with
out one beam of sunshine to light the
path of life.
If the first hen came from an egg,
where did the egg come from?
A well-digger in Waco, Texas, finds
out where to cotnmeuce digging lor wa

ground; wherever they commence to
burrow there water is sure to be found.
A befuddled horseman. There was
once a gentleman whose morning dram
had been a little too much for him, and
who, in saddling his horse, got the wrong
end first. A friend came uj> and called
his attention to the mistake. The horse
man gazed a moment at the intruder, as
if in deep thought, and said : “ How do
•you know which way lam going?”
A newspaper is a window through
•which men look out upon the world.
Without a newspaper a man is shut up
in a small room and knows little or
nothing of what is happening outside
•of himself. In our day the newspaper
will keep a sensible man in sympathy
with the world’s currant history. It is
an unfolding encyclopedia ami an un
bound book, forever issuing and never
finished. Always bear this in mind,
and never fail to take, and more partic
ularly pay for your home paper.
Mutilated silver coins, dollars, half
dollars and dimes, with holes punched
through them, are getting into t in illa
tion. It is not, perhaps, generally known
that for any person to subtract a portion
of the silver or gold from coin of the
United States so as to make it of less
weight or value than it ought to be pur
suant to law is a statuable offense, which
is punishable by imprisonment for not
more than two years, and by a fine of
not more than two thousand dollars. It
is a mean thing to mutilate the coins of
the country, even a part from the pur
pose of effecting a little gain thereby, as
it destroys the beauty of their artistic
appearance.

HOLLOWAY’S PILLS
Nervous Disorders.
What is more fearful tlian a breaking down of the
nervous system t To be excitable or nervous in a
small degree is most distressing, for where can i<
reinedv be found ? There is one-.—drink but littl,
wine, beer, or spirits, or far better, none; take n<
coffee—weak tea being preferable ; get all the fresh
air you eon : take three or four Fills every night
eat plenty of solids, avoiding the use of slops; and il
these golden rules are followed, you will be happy ii
mind and strong in body, and forget you have an\
nerves.
Mothers and Daughters.
If there is one tiling more than another for which
these Fills are so famous, il is their purifying prop
erties, especially their power of cleansing the bloo<
from all impurities, and removing dangerous am
suspended secretions. Universally adopted as tin
one grand remedy for female complaints, they neyei
fail, never weaken the system, and always bring
abont what is required.
Sick Headaches and Want of Appetite.
These feelings which so sadden us. most frequent
ly arise from annoyances or trouble, from obstructed
perspiration, or from eating and drinking what
IS unfit for us, thus disordering the liver ami
stomach. These organs must he regulated if yon
wish to l,e well. The Fills, if taken according to the
printed instructions, w ill quickly restore n healthy
action to both liver and stomach, whence follow, as a
natural consequence, a good appetite and a clear
head. In the East and West Indies scarcely any
other medicine is ever used for these disorders.
How to be Strong.
Never let the bowels bo either confined or unduly
acted upon. It may appear stufmlur that Holloway a
I’ills should be recommended for a run upon the
bowels, many persons supposing that they would in
crease relaxation. This ia a great mistake, however:
for these Pills will immediately correct the liver and
stop every kind of bowel complaint. In warm cli
mates thousands of lives have been saved bv the use
of this medicine, whiclt in all eases gives tone and
vigor to tlie whole organic system, however defanged
health and strength following as a matter of course.
The appetite, 100, is wonderfully increased b\ the
use of these Pills, combined in the use of solid in
preference to fluid diet. Animal fond is hotter than
broth* ami stow s By removing acrid, ft rmentod, or
other impure humors from the liver, stomach, or
blood, the cause of dysentry, diarrhoea, and other
bowel oomplaintaia expelled. The result is, that the
disturbance is arrested, and the action of the bowels
becomes regular. Nothing will atop the relaxation of
the bowels so quickly as this tine correcting medi
cine.
Disorders of the Kidneys.
In all dispast'* aflfact in g these organs, whether they
aecretc too much or too little water. or whether they
l>e afflicted with stone or gravel, or with aches and
pains settled in the loins over Mie regions of the kid
nevH, those Pillw should he taken according to the
printed directions, and the Ointment should be well
rubbed into the small of the back at bedtime. This
treatment will give almost immediate relief when all
means have failed,
For Stomachs out of Order.
No piedlctne will so effectually improve the tone of
the stomach as these Pill : they remove all acidity,
occasioned either by intemperance or improper diet.
They reach the liver and reduce it to a healthy ac
tion ; they are wonderfully efficacious iu cases of
spasm—in fact they never rail iu curing all disorders
ox the liver and stomach.
