Lonis Kossuth's son, chief engineer of the Italian railway, favors the use on his road of the American engines, a specimen of which was taken to Milan from the Paris Exhibition for trial. The report is revived that Lord Dufferin will shoply be transferred from St. Petersburg to Constantinople, with instructions to insist upon the speedy execution of required administration reforms in Turkey. It is said that a tuft of Zulu hair was found in the hand of the dead Prince Imperial, and the blood on the ground around him showed that he was not overpowered without a desperate struggle. The following figures serve to illustrate the growing importance of the Suez Canal. The ratio of expense to income has steadily decreased from 93.21 in 1870 to 18.41 in 1877. The annual receipts increased from $1,385,400 Unreliability of the Senses. It is surprising how people will differ in their opinions about apparently very simple matters, as, for instance, the temperature. "What an awful hot day," says Jones, wiping the perspiration from his brow. "So?" says Smith, calmly, "why, I think it is quite comfortable." The first has been taking things quietly and has not heated up his system; the other has been taking violent exercise or drinking stimulants: Or, sometimes the difference of opinion may traced to the different states of health of the two individuals. In either or any contingency of the kind it is clearly demonstrated that the senses are very untrustworthy, and that when we attempt to measure heat the thermometer is ten fold more reliable than the human body. Every reader must have observed what diversity of opinion always exists in society as to the state of the weather. "For heaven's sake shut that window, or I shall freeze to death," said the lady from Kentucky in the passenger car. "For mercy's sake leave it open, or I shall smother," said the lady from Michigan. "For humanity's sake," cried a crusty male passenger, "leave it open until the lady from Kentucky freezes to death, and then shut it until the Michigan lady smothers to death!" That verdict may have been a little severe, but it illustrates the irrepressible conflict that always exists between independent sets of sensory nerves. Even in the same individual do we find a like conflict of testimony. When the right hand is held in warm water, the other in cold, for a few moments, and then both hands plunged into a basin of tepid water, the two hands will give different reports, as if obeying the scriptural injunction of not letting the right hand know what the left hand does. To the right the fluid is cold; to the left it will feel warm though it is really the same to both. The same discrepancy of evidence is found to exist in reference to the character of sound, vision, and smell as exists with reference to the sense of touch. Railway employers have found it essential to test the visual powers of train men to see whether they can readily discern the vari colored signals. A small per centage of men are found to be afflicted with "color-blindness," and are unable to distinguish certain colors at distances that vary in different individuals. Queen Victoria's Affair One naturally cannot inquiries about the Queen ing in the neighborhood. Borhood in which she goes more free and spontaneous anywhere else. She counts about at Windsor and On does at Balmoral. The ways dressed in a very pearly fashion, which is itself an extravagant "dressiness" day. She will enter shops in order to make vouchses. These purchases intended as gifts to the poor in her own service; the articles, but never as The prices charged are same as to anyone else. The Queen regularly visits of the cottagers. Some instances of this are given land Journal. "Really remarks," "the affection of people, who are so very happy to see you, taking everything, is so very to teresting." I heard a veryecdote of the Queen on coach-top as I went from Blairgowrie.

Acres of Perch from St. Petersburg to Constantinople, with instructions to insist upon the specify execution of required administration reforms in Turkey. It is said that a tuft of Zulu hair was found in the hand of the dead Prince Imperial, and the blood on the ground around him showed that he was not overpowered without a desperate struggle. The following figures serve to illustrate the growing importance of the Buez Canal. The ratio of expense to income has steadily decreased from 93.21 in 1870 to 1841 in 1877. The annual receipts increased from $1,385,400 to $6,635,200 in that time. The work ing expenses have regularly been about $1,200,000 a year. In 1877 the number of vessels passing through the canal was 1,663. Hugo one day told one of his admirers that in 1835 he was invited to the Tuileries by Louis Philippe, and the conversation lasted so late that, when the poet rose to go, the palace was locked, and the servants asleep. A touch of the bell would have summoned them, but the citizen king preferred himself to escort his guest to the door. The auditor expressed some surprise at this condescension. "Why not?" replied the poet, with that modesty he has always displayed, and that becomes him so well," why should not one king conduct another? "Probabilities" from Josh Billings Josh Billings, who is as usual passing his summer in the White Mountains, has put it in the way of the editor of the White Mountain Echo to print a few of the component parts of his new book, to be published in the fall. Its title will be "Old Probabilities: Perhaps Rain—Perhaps Not;" and it will have for its motto: "Truth iz said to be stranger than flickshun—it is to most pholks." The selections are these: About the hardest thing a fellow kan do is to spark 2 gals at one time and preserve a good average. Try it. Don't dispize your poor relashuns.

Now that buildings are getting so tall, climbing stairs becomes more and more laborious, and the easy elevator more and more welcome. Yet most people have an uneasy consciousness that at any moment the elevator may "take a tumble" and descend into the cellar, to the great shaking up of the passenger. A Chicago inventor thinks he can make the fall of an elevator an easy and rather pleasant experience to the passenger. This is how he does it: The bottom of the elevator passage is made an air-tank, and so arranged that a falling elevator cab compresses the air, gently but completely arresting the violence of the fall. At a trial made with the Chamber of Commerce elevator, 5,000 pounds of pig iron being placed on the floor of the cab, which weighs two tons, the eggs and glass globes placed on the floor with the iron were unbroken. The men came down at another trial, one with a basketful of eggs and wine-glasses and one with a brimming glass of water; nothing was broken and but little of the water was spilled, and the passengers described the sensation as being like jumping into a haymow. The rush of air caused by the falling elevator made an appalling noise but did no harm. Such secure alacrity in sinking has never before been heard of—Detroit Free Press.

In the belfry of the Episcopal church at Elliottsville, N. Y., there is a bell which was cast in Moscow in 1708, and was one of a chime for the cathedral which was burned during Napoleon's Russian campaign. Along with other metal this bell was brought to New York by a sea captain, as ballast for his vessel. Eventually it was carried to Troy, and became the property of a well known bell found of that city. It was there discovered by a member of the Elliottsville parish, who purchased and gave it to the church. Its condition is sound and its tone still good. The skeleton of a whale, sixty feet long, has been found in North Carolina. Grains of Gold. A year of pleasure passes like a deeting breeze, but a moment of sorrow seems an age of pain. The affection of parents is best shown to their children by teaching them what is good and true. Great souls are always loyally submissive to what is over them; only mean souls are otherwise. Courage, the commonest of the virtues, obtains more applause than discretion, the rarest of them. Love can excuse anything except meanness; but meanness kills love and cripples all natural affection. Never retire at night without being wiser than when you rose in the morning by having learned something useful during the day. The man who violently hates or ardently loves cannot help being in some degree or sense a slave to the person he detests or adores. Censure is most effectual when mixed with praise; so, when a fault is discovered, it is well to look up a virtue to go in company with it. The habit of resolving without acting is worse than not resolving at all, inasmuch as it gradually sunders the natural connection between thought and deed. Jakutsk, East Siberia, is supposed to be the coldest of towns. From November to February the thermometer ranges from 42 degrees to 68 degrees below zero, and the neighboring river is solid ice for nine months of the year. Yet it is a place of considerable business. Men trust rather to their eyes than their ears; the effect of precepts is therefore slow and tedious, while that of example is summary and effectual. Queen Victoria's Affable Ways. One naturally cannot help making inquiries about the Queen when staying in the neighborhood. It is a neighborhood in which she goes about in a more free and spontaneous way than anywhere else. She could hardly go about at Windsor and Osborne as she does at Balmoral. The Queen is always dressed in a very plain and quiet fashion, which is itself a rebuke to the extravagant "dressiness" of the present day. She will enter very humble shops in order to make very small purchases. These purchases are mainly intended as gifts to the poor, chiefly the poor in her own service. She selects the articles, but never asks the price. The prices charged are exactly the same as to anyone else. Besides this, the Queen regularly visits the houses of the cottagers. Some touching instances of this are given in the Highland Journal. "Really," she naively remarks, "'the affection of these good people, who are so very hearty and so happy to see you, taking interest in everything, is so very touching and interesting." I heard a very pleasing anecdote of the Queen one day on the coach-top as I went from Braemar to Blairgowrie. We passed a house which had belonged to a deceased general officer, a baronet, who had seen good service in the Napoleonic wars. He had built a house, an exact representation of Logwood, where Napoleon died. On a mound close by the gate he had erected a stand where waved flags commemorate all the different battles in which he had been engaged, and in the center of the flag of Waterloo. The Queen passed by, and amid all the details of her triumphant progress she omitted to notice this peculiar array of flags. The old General was sorely hurt by this omission and bemoaned it greatly. He, however, had friends at court, and one of them ventured to speak to her Majesty on the subject. The Queen, in the most prompt and gracious way, was anxious to gratify the old soldier and relieve his mind. When she was next about to pass that road she caused an intimation to be given to him that the flags should be displayed as before, and that then he should fall into her cavalcade and ride before her as one of her body-guard to Balmoral.—London Spectator. Acres of Perfume. Some idea of the magnitude of the The Products of Indigestion. Inability of the stomach to act upon the food is productive of serious and speedy mischief to the entire bodily economy. The circulation languishes and grows poor; leanness, pallor, and a loss of muscular and organic power supervene; but, worse than this, the functions associated with and dependent upon digestion, such as evacuation and the secretion of bile, grow irregular, and the organs whose business it is to discharge those functions become badly disordered. This disastrous state of things is more readily and thoroughly rectified with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters than any known medicinal agent. The stomach being invigorated, the life-giving principles of the blood are increased, the system properly nourished, leanness and debility overcome, and the bowels and liver thoroughly and promptly regulated. Equal to an Enire Library. Talent, enterprise, and money are all requisite, in this day, to the publication of such paper as the San Francisco Weekly Chronicle. It is safe to say that there is not a better weekly paper in the country. It is not only a mammoth-sized sheet, abounding with spicy and attractive reading, but embodies news, editions, and the choices of current literature. For family reading it is equal to an enire library. "Miss," said a gentleman, preferring his arm and umbrella to a lady in a shower, "Permit me to be your bean." "Thank you for your positeness," was the reply, "and I have plenty of fair-weather beans I will call you my rhinoceros." Two Organs Regulate first the stomach, second the liver; especially the first, so as to perform their functions perfectly and you will remove at least nineteen twentieths of all the lilies that mankind is heir to; in this or any other climate. Hop Botters is the only thing that will give perfectly healthy natural action to these two organs.—Courter. Turner's Regulator, The new and popular remedy for all diseases arising from an impure or vitiated condition of the blood. An almost infallible remedy for diseases of the Liver and Knees, and a certain cure for all of that long list of complaints that spring from an unhealthy condition of these organs. It is a fact well known to the general public, as well as to the profession, that a very large proportion of the diseases that afflict human humanity are the direct result of a torpid or diseased liver. Turner's Regulator acts directly upon the liver, thereby cleansing and purifying the very foetal-head of life, giving to that important organ the necessary vigor and activity to perform its allotted duty and vitalizing the blood, thereby fooling out and throwing off all impurities, and as a natural consequence, removing and preventing disease. To the thousands that are suffering with Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Headache, loss of appetite, a fecal breath or bad taste in the mouth, hot and feverish condition of the skin, or night sweats, we... Some idea of the magnitude of the business of raising sweet scented flowers for their perfume alone may be gathered from the fact that Europe and British India alone consume about 150,000 gallons of the handkerchief perfume yearly; that the English revenue from French can de cologne itself is $40,000 annually, and the total revenue of England from other imported perfumes is estimated at $200,000 each year. There is one great perfume distillate at Cannes, in France, which uses yearly about 100,000 pounds of acacia flowers, 140,000 pounds of rare flower leaves, 32,000 pounds of jasmine blossoms and 20,000 pounds of tuberose blossoms, together with an immense quantity of other material used for perfume. Victoria in New South Wales is a noted place for the production of perfume-yielding plants, because such plants as the mignonette, sweet verbena, jasmine, rose, lavender, acacia, heliotrophe, rosemary, wallflower laurel, orange and the sweet-scented geraniums are said to grow there in greater perfection than in any other part of the world. South Australia, it is believed, would also be a good place for the growing of these perfume producing plants, though they are not yet cultivated there to much extent. The value of perfumes to countries adapted to their production may be gathered from the following estimate of their growth and value per acre, as given in the London (Eug) Journal of Horticulture: An acre of jasmine plants, 80,000 in number, will produce 5,000 pounds of flowers, valued at $1,250; an acre of rose trees, 10,000 in number, will yield 2,000 pounds of flowers, worth $375; 100 or ange trees growing on an acre will yield at ten years of age, 2,000 pounds of flowers, valued at $250; an acre of violets, producing 16,000 pounds of flowers, is worth $800; an acre of cassia trees of about 300 will, at three years of age, yield 900 pounds of flowers, worth $450; an acre of geranium plants will yield something over 2,000 ounces distilled arta, worth $490; an acre of lavender, giving over 3,500 flowers for distillation, will yield a value of $1,500. Boston Cultivator. New Waterfalls in the White Mountains—The White Mountain Echo announces the discovery by an explorer party of the finest waterfalls thus far known among the White Mountains, heretofore unseen by human eyes. They are situated on Copper Mine Brook, four miles within the primeval forest on the northern slope of Kinsman Mountain and northwest of Mount Cannon, that bears the profile of the "Old Man." From the density key well known to the general public as well as to the profession that afflicts humanity are the direct result of a torpedo or diseased river. Turner's Regulator acts directly upon the liver, thereby cleansing and purifying the very fountain-head of giving to that important organ the necessary vigor and activity to perform its allotted duty and vitalizing the blood, thereby floating out and throwing off all impurities and as a natural consequence, removing and preventing disease. To the thousands that are suffering with Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Headache, loss of appetite, a fetted breath or bad taste in the mouth, hot and fever condition of the skin, or night sweats, we say most confidently try Turner's Regulator. This unequivocal remedy, and tonic derives its wonderful curative and preventive powers principally from the new drug but lately introduced into the profession. Cuscara Sacrada, or Sacred Bark, a remedy long known to the native Californians as a certain cure for all malarious complaints, and a most wonderful promoter of longevity. Don Pedro Sanchez, who is now living at the advanced age of one hundred years, attributes his remarkable health and long life to the use of the Cuscara Sacrada, and says that he would have unduly years ago but for its use. Turner's Regulator contains nothing not purely vegetable, and although thorough and effective in its operation (if taken in large doses) is perfectly harmless in its effects, and may be taken with perfect safety at all times and under all circumstances. Turner's Regulator should be every family as a friend in need that can be read upon in every emergency. No home should be without it. Reliving upon its nooks of the most worthless description, and that people have been humminggut unto the name of "Patent Medicine" is natural in the extreme, but we can assure that Turner's Regulator is a remedy that will not fail them in the hour of trial, and if used occasionally during the spring and summer in moths will most efficiently protect the household from diseases peculiar to those seasons. Ask your druggist for Turner's Regulator, and sure that you are not put off with some worthless obstruction. If he has not got it insist that he order it once. Nature is the great physician and nature has planted in every country or city the remedies peculiar to the country—California has produced the Cuscara Sacrada as the great renovator and constructor of human system upon this slope, and the chemist has produced from this invaluable production Turner's Regulator which has never failed to relieve the sufferin g all diseases of the liver or blood. All who have tried it indolence it. In its operation upon the system it is simply perfect. No other remedy that has ever been discovered has been able to supply the place of that effective and powerful remedial agent calmon; the use of which is attended with so many dangers. Turner's Regulator however has all of the active and thorough qualities of calmon without any of it dangers, and unlike it may be taken at all times with perfect safety, and does not need the care and direction of a physician to administer it. The knives are important organs for removing impurities from the blood, and they are frequently out of order. There is nothing like Turner's Regulator to restore them to a healthy condition and enable them to eliminate the poisons from the blood. Avail yourself of this great remedial agent.

The White Mountain Echo announces the discovery by an exploring party of the finest waterfalls thus far known among the White Mountains, heretofore unseen by human eyes. They are situated on Copper Mine Brook, four miles within the primeval forest on the northern slope of Kinsman Mountain and northwest of Mount Cannon, that bears the profile of the "Old Man." From the density of the undergrowth, these falls are only approached by a weary march up the bed of the river. The entire height of the falls is about 150 feet, more than eighty of which is a perpendicular descent, being thus greater by many feet than the celebrated Glen Ellis Falls. The newly found falls are inclosed in a vast natural amphitheatre, and resemble in a remarkable degree a beautiful lace bridal veil which has led the discoverers to name them "Bridal Veil Falls." There has lately been a great deal of discussion on the relative merits of canoes, and so the canoe race at the Lake George regatta last week was looked forward to with a great deal of interest by all concerned, as it would practically settle the points in dispute. The result astounded the elegant New Yorkers. Rev. C. A. Cressy, in a "dug out" of his own manufacture, distanced all the fancy canoes on the ground, or on the water rather. Cressy's canoe defied all rules of correct canoe construction, and yet a preacher in it defeated the athletes with their fancy canoes having all the modern improvements. Thus we are back to first principles again. The old Indian dug-out is to-day the champion canoe of America. We join the press of this country in wishing Mr. Cressy much joy—that is to say—canoe-bial happiness. —Detroit Press. Out on a foul—Taking a ride on an ostrich.

Every chemist familiar with soap manufacture knows that some ingredients which are in themselves beneficial to the skin cannot be saponified; some are partially neutralized, while others injure the quality of the soap. There are soaps in the market which are to some extent beneficial to the skin, but they are inferior articles for toilet use. PHOSPHATE SOAP is the ONLY article offered to the public which combines all the best elements of toilet soap with medical ingredients beneficial to the skin. A superb article for the toilet, beneficial to the skin, giving it a soft, velvety appearance, and leaving a soothing, pleasant sensation after use, imparting a healthy, natural and lasting beauty to the complexion. It eradicates the poisonous effects of cosmetics; preventing skin diseases by acting as a constant purifier and disinfectant; if used constantly will cure skin diseases of long standing; is superior to any other article for bathing infants; cleansing and healing for all eruptions on the scalp or face of children; good for the teeth; produces a soft, creamy lather, nicely adapted to shaving or shampooing, removes dandruff, and gives health to the scalp without injuring the hair.

Standard Soap Co.—Gentlemen: The ladies of my household, four in number, unite with me in pronouncing your PHOSPHATE SOAP the best ever tried for toilet use. It is noticeable that while it readily removes impurities from the skin, it also leaves undisturbed the natural oil so essential to the health. It is not too strong language to say that we are delighted with it. C. M. SAWTELLE, M. D., 120 Oapp street. SAN FRANCISCO, July 19, 1897. Standard Soap Co.—Gentlemen: I have tried your PHOSPHATE SOAP, and have no hesitation in saying that it is the best toilet soap I ever used. My wife has used it and is of the same opinion. I have paid as high as fifty cents per cake for an article in every respect inferior to what you sell for twenty-five cents. HENRY H. LYNCH, 515 Haight street. OAKLAND, Cal., Aug. 1, 1897. Standard Soap Co.—Gentlemen: We have been giving your PHOSPHATE SOAP a pretty fair trial, and we like it the best of any soap for toilet use that we have found on this Coast. We have little doubt that it will meet with universal favor. MRS. R. R. JOHNSTON, 1016 Kirkham street.
