Intelligence Items. Great Britain imported last year an average of about 2,000,000 eggs a day. There are thirty thousand dead mutes in the United States, and fifty places of worship where services are conducted in the sign language. Geological explorations have shown the probability that Russia contains beds of phosphate of lime of sufficient extent to supply Europe for an indefinite period. The quantity of coal raised in Germany in 1878 was 39,429,308 tons, and in 1877 it was 30,423,774 tons. In 1878 the quantity of lignites raised was 10,971,117 tons, as compared with 10,644,427 tons in 1877. The Missionary Herald counts up over $3,000,000 given to the missionary enterprises of the Presbyterian, Episcopal, Baptist, Wesleyan, and Congregational churches, by only a dozen givers, within the past year. Most of the colored Baptist churches of South Carolina have pastors who were slaves before the war, and the ability of the preachers to read their Bibles is about the extent of their scholarly attainments. Of large British estates, that of the Duke of Buccleench is 459,260 acres; Lady Willoughby d'Eresby, 132,320; Earl Fitzwilliam, 113,968; and those of forty-four other noblemen and gentlemen, vary from 10,000 up to 87,425 acres. The Puget Sound log crop last year amounted to 250,000,000 feet. Of these a surplus of 25,000,000 or 30,000,000 now remain in the water, which will be entirely exhausted by spring. The average price obtained was $3.50 per thousand. During the first nine months of this year the revenue receipts of France have exceeded the estimates by 108,-000,000 francs. If it continues as favorably the next quarter, the treasury will have a surplus of between $20,000,-000 and $30,000,000. For the protection of iron exposed to the weather from rust, a varnish composed as follows is recommended: One hundred parts mercury, ten parts tin, twenty parts green vitriol, one hundred and twenty parts water, and fifteen parts hydrochloric acid of one to two Dyspepsia. In a late number of the New York Tribune there is an article under the head of "Home Interests" which contains very much important information on the subject of dyspepsia. The most prominent causes of the disease to common age as follows: The stomach is a muscular organ and sympathizes with the rest of the muscular system. If a person is exhausted from manual labor he is into condition to eat until he is rested again. He may take simple broth, which is easily absorbed and assimilated to satisfy the pangs of hunger until he is rested enough to eat. But solid food taken by a weary stomach is a load the stomach cannot carry, and dyspepsia is the result of its mute protest. It matters not whether the exhaustion is of the muscular or the nervous system. Brain labor, suspense, anxiety, act as directly in enfeebling the ability of the stomach to digest food as does severe muscular toil. The muscles obey the nerves. If the nerves are weary they cannot command the muscles. If the muscles are weary they cannot obey the nerves. Therefore if from any cause the stomach is unfit to receive strong food, it must be allowed to rest before any burden is placed upon it. Imperfect mastication is a very frequent cause of dyspepsia. A large number of people have not time or think they have not to spend at the table taking their meals. They swallow their food divided just enough to make swallowing possible, and compel the stomach to do not only its own work but the work that should be done by the mouth. Instead of permitting the saliva to prepare the food for the stomach they wash it down with copious draughts of water or tea or coffee or beer or wine. Chickens can be fed and fattened by this process of cramming or bolting, but chickens have no teeth. Dogs bolt their food, but the teeth of dogs are all incisors or cutting teeth. Cows swallow their food unmasticated, but they select a quiet corner and chew it all over again. The human stomach when compelled to masticate the food as well as to digest it, by and by mutinies and dyspepsia is the name given to the mutiny. Drinking too much at meal times is a frequent cause of dyspepsia. What He Needs. There was a crowd on and sitting around and house steps, spitting to the stone pavement, and over-polite yarns, as in men, when the monotonous look of looking pedestrian. He one of the long distances his general get up did impression that he was great wealth, or that he larply elevated social position. He looked like seeming not over bright for the crowd at once, gan on him in the genial manner characteristic of a fight.

"It Italian?" More shake. "Danish?" Shake again. "Irish?" Shake again. "Welsh?" More of the same sort. "Hebrew, Latin, Sanscrit, Chinese, Copperish, Russian?" A whole paragraph of this; and the question frightened at the job he had but he went ahead.

Dr. Fischer of the Imperial German Post-Office has just published a pamphlet showing the comparative postal and telegraph statistics. The letter post of the whole world for 1873 amounted in round numbers to 3,300,000,000 letters or about 9,250,000 daily; and the numbers have been increasing daily at an astonishing rate. Thus in Japan the number of post-offices in 1872 was 1,159, and in 1876 it had risen to 3,649. The number of seperate articles which passed through the Japanese post in 1878 was 47,000,000, of which 25,000,000 were letters, 10,000,000 post cards, and 9,500,000 newspapers. Post cards were first brought into use only in 1865, and now they are employed in almost every country of the world. The parcels post has, however, not yet got beyond the first stage of its development. The number of telegraphic dispatches sent in 1877 amounted for the whole globe to nearly 130,000,000, or an average of 353,000 daily. Women of To-Day.

The Cincinnati ladies give much attention to art decoration. They have an art pottery in which they work, and a potter who can make them any odd shape for which they choose to ask. One hundred acres of wheat cut with a reaper, keeping six binders going, was the work of a Scotch lassie of Lexington, Ind. She used three pairs of horses in relays, but tired them all out. Mrs. George Lux has just died in Utica, N.Y., at the age of 80 years. She has seven children, forty-three grandchildren, and thirteen great-grandchildren, all living in that city, who survive her. The ex-Empress Eugenie is worth more than $5,000,000 and yet earth holds no more unhappy woman than she. What’s money to her, when she remembers her dead son, the misery of lonely widowhood and the loss of her throne. A person once asked Rosa Bonheur if she did not regret being unmarried and without children. She replied that “almost any woman could marry and have children. Few could produce pictures like Rosa Bonheur—they were her children.” Mrs. Ann Glanville is an English woman nearly 90 years old, who is said to be the best female rower in the world having, with a crew of four other women, won victories over similar crews in England and France, and in some cases over boats manned by men. An English school board has expelled an 8 year old pupil who came to school with ornamental beads in her ears, and a Philadelphia private school teacher has refused to readmit a girl who has been playing in the juvenile "Pinafore" company during the summer. Required by the stomach in the performance of its function is diverted to the brain by mental torrors to the surface and extremities by muscular toll, the stomach is robbed of its power and under continued treatment of this sort must eventually break down. Improper food is also a frequent cause of dyspepsia. Oils and fats of every sort are not digested until they have passed from the stomach into the duodenum or second stomach, where they are minced with bile and reduced to an emulsion. With this in mind, one can easily see that an excess of fat in food will inevitably produce a disordered stomach. Bile is never found in a healthy stomach, but when this organ is overloaded with pastries and the fat of fried meats, it throws open the pyloric orifice and permits bile from the friendly and contiguous duodenum to enter and help about subduing these fatty foods. This makes trouble which is called biliousness. This trouble is also produced by imperfect mastication and by swallowing such substances as the gastric fluids cannot dissolve. One might as well swallow little pellets of wood or cork the size of watermelon seeds and grape stones as to swallow these indigestible bits. They pass through the alimentary canal unchanged, leaving irritation more or less along their way. Highly concentrated food is unwholesome. There must be not only nutrition in sufficient amount, but bulk also; to afford a residuum stimulating enough to maintain a regular action of the bowels. Innutritious food is a frequent cause of indigestion and this indulgences may be the fault of the cook or it may depend on the quality of the material used. To restore a weak stomach to health requires both skill and judgment on the part of the owner of the stomach. He must eat a little at agime, and thoroughly digest it before he eats any more. Two quarts of milk in twenty-four hours is a prescription that has been successfully used in curing bad cases of dyspepsia. When this can be taken with comfort then stronger food may be given, but only in such concentration and quantity as permit easy and perfect digestion. Wisdom is better than riches. Wisdom guards these, but wisdom must guard thy riches. Riches diminish in the using, but wisdom increases in the use of it.—Arabic Proverb. A sound concern—the telephone.

There was a crowd of them standing and sitting around and on the courthouse steps, spitting tobacco juice on the stone pavement, and telling not-over-polite yarns, as is the custom of men, when the monotony was relieved by the appearance of a woe-begone looking pedestrian. He was evidently one of the long distance walkers, and his general get up did not leave the impression that he was a man of very great wealth, or that he was of particularly elevated social position when at home. He looked like a foreigner, and, seeming not over bright, he was meat for the crowd at once, and they all began on him in the gentle and soothing manner characteristic of the top dog in a fight. After every fellow had put in a shot, and the peripatetic had said nothing, one of the party took it upon himself to discover who and what he was, as the deliberations of all of them had not resulted in determining his nationality. "Well, sir," the inquisitor began, while the tramp looked at him with a face full of expression as a wooden Indian, "well, sir, you look like you had walked all the way from Bismarck land. Do you speak German?" The tramp shook his head. "Do you speak French then?" Shake. "It Italian?" More shake. "Danish?" Shake again. "Irish?" Shake again. "Welsh?" More of the same sort. "Hebrew, Latin, Greek, Choctaw, Sanscrit, Chinese, Copt, Arabic, Turkish, Russian?" A whole paragraph of shakes followed this; and the questioner began to look frightened at the job he had undertaken. But he went ahead. "Well, if you don't speak any of these, what the devil do you speak?" "English," said the trump, in a still, small voice; "and I'd like to have a nickel to buy a suit of clothes and get me my dinner. I 'a'nt et nothin' for two weeks but railroad spikes and gravel, an 'I'm gittin' kind of lonesome like behind my weskit buttons."

One Hundred Years Ago It would have been impossible to print and furnish to the public's paper as large as the San Francisco Weekly Chronicle for the low price it is now offered. The new presses on which the publishers work the paper enable them to print the paper in a short time and at small expense. The facilities for furnishing a large amount of valuable and interesting reading matter are not surpassed by any other paper. The new Chronicle building has all the facilities for printing and mailing a large edition with celerity. When the San Francisco Weekly Chronicle can be obtained for three months for 50 cents in postage stamps every one should give the paper a trial. Pilgrimages to Buffalo, N. Y., Are made by thousands of invalids annually to consult with the medical and surgical staff of the World's Dispensary and Invalids' Hotel, the largest private sanitarium in the world. All chronic diseases are treated by scientific methods. The practice is divided among nine eminent specialists. Among the most popular domestic medicines in the land are those manufactured by this Association, among which are Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the greatest of alteratives or blood-cleansers, and Dr. Pierce's Pellets (little pills) that have largely superseded the old-fashioned course pills. Compound Extract of Smart-Weed is deservedly popular as a remedy for diarrhea, dysentery, flux, and kindred diseases; also as a pain-killer and remedy for colds. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the great remedy for female weakness and associated derangements. Dr. Sage's Catarrh is the "Old Reliable," Invalid' Guide-Book—10 cents, post-paid.

You can probably be rich, my son, if you will be. If you make up your mind now that you will be a rich man, and stick to it, there is very little doubt that you will be very wealthy, tolerably mean, loved a little, hated a great deal, have a big funeral, be blessed by the relatives to whom you leave the most, reviled by those to whom you leave nothing. But you must pay for it, my son. Wealth is an expensive thing. It costs all it is worth. If you want to be worth a million dollars, it will cost you just a million dollars to get it. Broken friendships, intellectual starvation, deprivation of generous impulses, the smothering of manly aspirations, a limited wardrobe and a scanty table, a lonely home because you fear a lovely wife and beautiful home would be expensive, a hatred of the heathen, a dread of the contribution box, a haunting fear of the Woman's Aid Society, a fretful dislike of poor people because they won't keep their misery out of your sight, a little sham benevolence that is worse than none; oh, you can be rich, you man, if you are willing to pay the price. Any man can get rich who doesn't think it is too expensive. True, you may be rich and be a man among men, noble and Christian and grand and true, serving God and blessing humanity, but that will be in spite of your wealth and not as a result of it. It will be because you always were that kind of a man. But if you want to be rich merely to be rich, if that is the breadth and height of your ambition, you can be rich, if you will pay the price. And when you are rich, son, call around at this office and pay for this advice. We will let the interest compound from this date. Pompeii. Though the victims of the great eruption of Vesuvius in A.D. 79 lived so long ago, they were our fellow-creatures, and it is impossible to recall their fate—especially one might think, to recall it on the spot—without a feeling of horror. Sir William Gell estimated the number of people who perished at 1,300; but during recent excavations so many bodies have been found that it seems to have been far greater; and when we consider that, closely as the inhabitants were packed, Pompeii was still but a little piece, the proportion of deaths appears large.

It is, of course, satisfactory to the antiquary to reflect that the misfortunes of Pompeii have been a great gain to modern knowledge. The manners of the ancient Romans are better known to us by what has been discovered here under the ashes than by all the pictures or statues or writings existing elsewhere. The town has been very recently rebuilt, and the remains are chiefly of one period; but the decorations are remarkable for their rarity as well as for their freshness. In fact, the state of pictorial art in the first century would be almost unknown to us but for the frescoes from the house of the tragic poet, and the beautiful wall-paintings now in the Naples museum. —The Saturday Review. It is facetiously related that on the door of his Greek class-room, Prof. Blaikie, of Edinburgh, had occasion a few weeks ago, to put up this notice: "Prof. Blaikie regrets he is unable today to meet his classes." A waggish student, spying this, scraped out the initial letter of the last word of the sentence, and made it appear as if the professor was regretful at his inability to meet those fair specimens of humanity familiarity outside the college quadrangle as "lasses." But who can joke with Blaikie? The keen-eyed old man, noticing the prank that had been played on him, quietly erased another and left the following to be read by whom it might concern: Prof. Blaikie regrets he is unable to-day to meet his asses!" A students' guild, after the kind of similar institutions in Germany, has been formed at Cornell University, and includes most of the students there. Each student pays seventy-five cents a year, and the proceeds are used to defray the expenses of poor and struggling students when they are ill. The sailor is the best man to strike coil.

If your wife is in the habit of using cosmetics of any kind, advise her to give up the pernicious practice, as the most harmless face powders obstruct the pores of the skin and sooner or later injure the complexion, while PHOSPHATE SOAP removes all impurities and assists nature in developing a natural, healthy and beautiful skin. No salve or ointment can heal a wound or sore of any kind. Every educated physician will tell you that nature alone can do this. PHOSPHATE SOAP, by its cleansing, soothing and purifying qualities, gives nature a chance to act freely. Ladies who have injured the skin by the constant use of cosmetics may do much to restore their faces to that beauty which nature alone can give by constantly using PHOSPHATE SOAP. PHOSPHATE SOAP costs no more than other good toilet soaps, while its medicinal qualities make it worth ten times its price to every man, woman and child. If you wish to make your hands soft buy a cake of PHOSPHATE SOAP, and when that is gone you will buy a dozen and recommend your friends to do the same. Sensible girls avoid cosmetics but use PHOSPHATE SOAP for the toilet because it is fragrant, pure and pleasant. TESTIMONIALS. San Jose, September 24, 1879. To the Standard Soap Co.—Gentlemen: It affords me pleasure to say to the public that I have used and prescribed your PHOSPHATE SOAP as a remedy in various forms of cutaneous diseases with the happiest results. I am of the opinion that it is the mildest and most perfect detergent that can be used, either for cleansing the skin and leaving it soft and healthy, or for removing the fetor and corroding influences of sores and ulcerations. I should be sorry to be without it in shaving my face or making my toilet, to say nothing of my good opinion of its remedial qualities. A.J.SPENCER,M.D. Gentlemen: I received a package of your soap (Phosphate Soap) and it gives me great pleasure to testify as to its superior excellence. As a toilet soap I have never seen anything to surpass it. It also possesses superior remedial qualities. I have used it in two cases of obstinate skin disease, one of intolerable itching, Pruritus, the other an Eczema. In both great relief was obtained. Its emollient properties are remarkable.

Respectfully, W. A. DOUG LASS, M. D. 128 O'Farrell St. To the Standard Soap Company. San Francisco, July 19, 1873. 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, 1873. Standard Soap Co.-Gents: I have tried your PHOSPHATE SOAP, and have no hesitation in saying that it is the best toilet soap 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. We have used the PHOSPHATE SOAP in our practice, for cleaning indolent ulcers, and also skin diseases, pimples and eruptions of the face, so often seen in the young of both sexes, and can heartily recommend it to the public as the most remedial agent of the kind that we have used...B.
