DYMPEPNIA
Dyspepsia is cured by m nsriiTar exercise,
roluntary or involuntary, and it can be c*red
in no other way, because nothing but exercise
ean create or collect gastric juice, which is a
product of the human machine that nature
alone can make.
HOT TEA.
Hot tea is the best drink in hot weather, and
the best quencher of thirst at ali times and in
all seasons. It, perhaps, is not go nice as iced
tea, when the mercury is up in the nineties,
but it is far more wholesome, and is always
safe to take. It also freely promotes perspira¬
tion; tut no artificial accessories will be neces¬
sary.
THE EITTEE BROWN MULE.
There is a “celebrated case” in Iron county,
Mo., which lias at last been brought to an end.
It was aii about the ownership of a little brown
mule, worth about $60. It had been pending
for years and had been tried muny times in
different courts. There were sevc-nty-five wit¬
nesses subpecnaed in the case, and the costs in
the last trial amounted to $600. The other
celebrated mule case—that of “forty acres and
a mu!e"--is still on the docket.
ANOTHER EXPEDITION.
The Canadian Government intends to send
out an expedition to explore Hudson’s Bay
about the end of August. It seem, odd that
this has not been done before. It would ap
p.ar Dear reasonable reasonable to to Kunnoso suppose that that the the larire large
scction of country around this vast inland sia
would be valuabje for settlers. One tithe of
the money spent on North Pole expeditions, if
apjihed in tin. direction, might have been some
benefit to the world in a commercial way.
A NEW PENSION BILL.
There i» anew pension bill now under con¬
sideration before Congress to give pensions to
women who had married veterans of the Mexi¬
can war, and afterwards became widows. The
disposition of our wise legislators seems to be
to continually to hunt around for some kind of
a method to dispose of the public funds. Why
not make a clean sweep at once, and pension
everybody who had anything to do witli any of
our wars, or were in any wise connected with
any one who had.
EDUCATION.
The leading educational question of the hour
is how aliall our public schools bo directed so

TELEG It A PIIIC.
A London journal tells of a gentleman who
visited the takgraph office ia Old Broad street
not long ago. lie was desirous of ascertaining
hair far communication* on a /single circuit
oould bo extended. First tlie operator connec¬
ted with a Gorman town, then with Odessa,
then with Teheran, then with Agra, and finally
to the visitor’s groat delight, with Calcutta,
7,000 miles away. Perhaps if the gentleman
takes good care of his health, his old age may
find lnm Chatting through a perfected tele'
plioue over an equal distance.
TALENT.
Talent that is purely physical pays nowadays.
Mrs. Langtry, who can't act a bit, made $50,
000 laet year, afid RuUivnu, w$q oan only fight,
made $100,000. One is tempted, after reading
the later fact, to indulge in a little moralizing
and a few comparisons. How many mem¬
ber* of die learned profession* earned a quar¬
ter as much ? Precious few. It is not Surpris¬
ing that the profession of pugilism is over¬
crowded when it presents chances like this one
which came in Sullivan's way of making a for
tone in s year.

total total for for 1W2. isso The The wnrV work haa has tlinWrnnim meo been more

13 ships, 4 barks, 6 barkentines, 2 brigs, 133

We have so many systems of philosophy that
almost any man can be suited. All he has to do
is to look around and take his choice. Perhaps
for a good, solid practical every day philosophy
the first Napoleon stood at the head of his con¬
temporaries. His idea was that the concentra¬
tion of force on one given point at a given time
was bound to win. This principle is applica¬
ble to every act of life. Whether a man is do¬
ing mechanical intellectual he'{ illl —
or work find
that he can do it exceptionally physicallpowers well if. le con
cer.trates his best mental and ,f
arid . directs .. . them .. to . the matter .. in . han . . This _.
is equally true of writing a paragraph, making
a speech, driving a nail or shoveling dirt. To
do his best work a man must put Ms /whole
mind into it. This was the KapoIcosW^teffiod,
and there is common sense, genius and magic
in it.

A STRANGE CUSTOM.
At Monte Carlo it is tho custom to fill the
pockets of suicides with bank-notes, so that it
may be seen that they did not kill themselves
on acconnt of losses. A recent letter from
there relates how a presumably dead Irishman
succeeded in getting his pockets filled a short
ihe P d into the
gardens. Almost immediately afterward the
guards hoard a pistol shot and then a cry of
pam, and, rush mgr to the spot, found the Irish
man dead. It was dark, with no one around,
»o they filled his pockets with money and left
him , . to , b« , f found , in , the ,, morning. ■ n.„ Tiny had had
icarcely gone out of sight, howev. rhetor* the

LT™ £ S
of El Mahdi’s troops. Now, if tne new False
Prophet and the old False Prophet will only
play the part of the Kilkenny cats, the Soudan
question „ will be settled without any annoyance
to England. Th. new False Prophet is said to
have the power of making himself invisible,
and like the Frenchman’s flea, when his ene
mies go to put their fingers on him he isn’t
there. But that does not seem to be a good
way to win victories. The Briti*h troops have
been making themselves invisible in the Sou¬
dan for sometime and yet they hate not suc¬
ceeded in accomplishing mnch in that country.
