Vormerly, a course of bitters, or eulpher and molasses, was the rule in well -regulated families ; but now all intelligent houseleolds keep Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which is et once pleasant to the taste, and the most searching and effective blood medicine ever discovered. Nathan S. Cleveland, 27 E. Canton st., Beston, writes : "My daughter, now 21 years old, was in perfect health until a year ago when she began to complain of fatigue, headache, debility, dizziness, Indigestion, and loss of appetite. I con- cluded thatall her complaints originated in impure blood, and induced her to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This medicine soon restored her blood -making organs to healthy action, and in due time reestab- Fished her forener health. I find Ayer's Sarsaparilla a most valuable remedy for the lassitude and debility incident to spring time." Castright, Brooklyn Power Co., Brooklyn, N.

Emperor 'William in Austria—Boulauge Looms up Again—The White- chapel Murciers. As A remit of Williamee vita royaley in Austria has been having time& so tremend- ously big es to keeP.Earope breathless with amazement. The young Etriperoe's arrival et the Vienna station was enaugh by itself to turn the young man's head. There were endleee braids, of which one alone numbered 130 members, all playing complimentary tunes. The Austrian Emperor was on the platform, grand as possible, backed up by all the men of the royal family, inelecling ten Archdukes, who are great guns iu that country, besides unlimited importaub folk o lesser calibre. The neoessiey, prescribed by relentless court etiquette, of kissing six itnee the Auiurien Emperor, may uave pooped young Wiiliands joy, but after that it wee perfrot, The Boulaeger boom is just new more in- teresting than ever and one well worth eve.tetiing. All France is alarmed by Bou- langer's quiet bueiness why ranee hie return, and men now in power make their uneasi- ness very plein. Oa his return Beulanger found 6 OUO letters weiiing for him, of which 2 000 were marked " eenfidential and important." He also found hinwelf a much more popular man even than when he so mysteriously disampetired front public view. The Paris mob is hungering to Bee him. He her: erranged his neys in a most buelnessaik.e feehion, keeps his owu comael, and there is nothing for the rest ot the werld to do but to watch and :we how this most important politi ml oat will jump whee jumpiug time comes. For one thing we are ilifornied he intends to be very quiet and unostentatious. No more driving to the Chamber of Depu- ties in on open landau thruugh howling crowds, but ia a closed carriage, with one horse; no fuss and as few speeehee 58 pos- sane. Tretee his echeme aod if true this proves that the luoky vie:venturer feels very sure of eie position and of the tiokle Paris mob. England is more than ever occupied with the Nerhiteehapel murder scare, to the ex- clusion of everything else. Suggestions made have been endless, and the nrnsense poured out on the hubject has been unusually anmeine. The pepers print columns upon columns of letters from excited British maroons and citizens, each of whom wants something else done than is being done to catch the mystericus murderer. Eech day sees fresh complaint mede against the police, Any number 01 men want bloodhounds to be ecettered all over the place to bunt for the murderer, as though a bloodhound ceuld tell a murderer's scent from a parson s, One man, very much exulted, insbars that an in- telligint bloodhound shall be kept in every police station, and that every policeman be instructed, when next ha comes across a mutilated corpse on his beat, to whistle for a bloodhound rit the same time he whiatles for other constables, and then all shall follow alone in a row behind the blood- houed's tail'until they reach the criminal. A rather seneible suggestion is that all the police should be shod at night time with rubber, in order that the regular monoton- ous toodells of the regulation police boot may not warn the murderer of epproaching Ganger. The Trick of the Ravens. In the narrative cf the Arctic voyageef Captain McClure is the following story of the two ravens which became domiciliated on bowd the "Investigator." The raven, ib appeara, is the only bird that willingly brevos a Polar winter; and in the depth of the season he is seen D3 flit through the mild and sunlees atmoephere like an evil spirit, his sullen croak Mune breaking the silence of the death -like scene. No one of the crew etteiepted to ebtoot the ravens, and they coesequently became very bold, es will be seen by the narrative. Two enlienti estate-- lished themselvea as friends of the family in Itlereer By, living mainly by whai little scraps the men might have thrown away after meal -times. The ship's dog, however, looked upon these as his special perquisites, and exhibited considerable energy in main- taining his rights against the ravens, who nevertheless outwitted him in a way which amused every one. Observing that he appeared quite willing to make a mouthtul of their own sable persons, they used to throw themselves intentionally in his way just as the mess tins vrere being cleaned out on the dirt -heap outside the ship. Tho dog would immediately • run at them, and they would fly just a few yards; the dog then made another run, and again they would appear to escape him bub by an inch, and so on, until they had tempted and. provoked bim to the shore, a considerable distance off. Then the ravens would make a direct flight for the ship, and had generally done good execution before, the mortified -looking dog detected the imposition that had been practised epon him and rushed back again. An Intertistiny Sub sot. The results of an investigatioa on a sub- ject of striking _interest are submitted by the redoubtable "Bab" in the Naw York Sunday Star, when he writes :— A men asked me the other day how wo- men find husbands. It was such a puzzling question to rne that I constituted myself a committee of one and went around among a lot of married women to see how their hus- bands proposed to them. There wasn't one who hail ever had an absolute romantic avowal of love 1 There wasn't one whose husband had gotten down on his knees, caught the loved one's band and beeought of her, tailless she wished to see him stark and cold with a broken heart, that she would wed him 1 There wasn't one who had ever known the rapture of being held, with a pistol pointed'at her Bead, while the brave lover pronounced that unless she ac- cepted him, he would kill her and then him- self 1 There wasn't one who had been gained even at the dagger's point, and nob a single wife had been drugged and wedded in a nernimonscious state 1 Dorothy, I contorts to a certain amount of disappointment. The nearest I could get se to how the question of martiage had been reached Was always that they drifted into it. This is delicious- ly vague, but it seems to mean that they, know the man, that he had theeprivilege or holding their hands and criticising their frocks for sonie time an that there he there was to spewed excitement ia Wall sereet, a Presidential election wasn't going on, nor anything else tbat wart distracting, they suggested that it was aboutt time for theta to get married.

At: a recent meeting of the Photographic Section of the American Institute there was shown a new magnesium light, vehioh em- ployed powdered magnesium instead of wire, and burned it in a strong alcohol flame instead of upon "gash cotton," as is now used.

The sefety is undoubted and the convenience very great. The Tanderbilts Abroad.

THE LAST BISLIOAL PUZZLE, The 0 times, Who They were, where They Lived and whet Gas Dern Discovered About Them. There was published recently a brief notice of a despateh from United States Comet Bissinger at Beirut, remount:in the discom ory by Gormen eeplorers at Morash of in- teresting Hittite remains, consisting of bleak basalt blocks, in sfEer, covered with figures of men and animals. This announcemen has attraoted considerahle ettention anion Oriental scholars and arobtoologitte, and led to a renewal of inquiry in regard to the Hittites and the meaning of these latese dis- °evades. The stones at be math undoubted. ly are a part a th,, lower story of a Mtge* palooe or tempts, these edifices oeing goner - Idly built of eculpturecl stoner: in their lower etories end ef oedar above. It ir an interesting fact that while the Hilitita were one of the most powerful netione of ancient times, their empire ex- teeding from the frontier of Egypt to the ./Egean Sea, had great cities and were far advanced in civiliwation, and while they are frequently mentio ed in the Old Testament, until within the 1 t twenty year% It ishews 1 elmotit nothing ha been known about them how a great nation, skilled in the arts of pettee and formidable in war, the period of whose power was greater than that of &ems or Rome, may entirely disappear. theesitest et its greet cities be forgotten and it very ex. ietetece Almost pass out of the knowledee of mankind, In 1812 Bur okhardt discovered at Hafiek some stonc.a covered with Hittite hiero&ly. phios, but more than a oeutury passed befeke enough of their remains were acoumulateel by arclueologiets to enable them to form any definite conception of the charomberittios of the Hittites as a people or to conetruct even the barest outline of their history. Since 1870 very great progress has been made in acoumulation of knowledge of the Hittites, Numerous discoveries have been made by Burton, Wright, Couder and by American missionaries and scholars, and several books have been published, besides numerous shorter articles in arehreological rind religious journals. Dr. Williams Hayes Ward, of the New York Independent, was one of the earli- est of Hittite scholars. The Hittites were of Caucapian origin, coming from the North nearly 4000 years before Christ In one respect they retained a peculiarity tithe costume of their ancestors during the 3000 years of their dwelling in more Soutbern climes. They are represent. ed as wearing shoes the tcoe of which were turned up in an exaggerated way, the surviv- al of the snowshoe m their ancestral moun- tains. They were a hairless people. with long, thin mustaches, like those of the Chinese, light complexion, the head partly shaven, leaving a clear and unmistakable pig-taiL The eyes seem to have had a slight inclination, and the facial angle was oblique. A high, peaked cap was the meet common style of Hittite beadeiress, although square or round head-dresses are represented on some Hittite monuments, but are not as characteristic. The Hittites were literary people and poe- sessed a culture, an art and a script peculiar to themselves and plainly of indigenous ori- gin. They wore well advanced in the arts and had silver. Their bargain with the patriarch Abraham at Hebron was the evil.. est money transaction on record. They used silver as a standard of value, had butane -as for weighing it, and regular forms of sale and conveyancing. They gave etand. awl weights to neighboring nations which remained in use long after the break-up of the Hittite empire. . Well advanced in the arta of peace, they were also formidable. as warriors. Their troops, both foot and horse, are represented in the Egyptian hieroglyphics as marching in battle array with well -drilled preebsion. Bat the chariots were their pride, each of which carried three warriors and were very formidable. The Hittite e were a great people for thousands of years, built great cities, excell- ed in the arts, fought great wars, and then disappeared, leaving almost no trace. Little by little some knowledge of them is gained from inscriptions and hieroglyphics, but it is hard to comprehend that when their over- throw occurred at such a comperatively modern time they thould have been so nearly forgotten. Parrot Chorus, The traditional "fish story" has many varieties, to which it seems only hair to add the following, even though the fish in this case was a parrot. Doubtlese its narrator, an American artist:, designed it to be "taken for what it is worth." He was very fond of knocking about in out-of-the-way quarters of the world, and once left ship with a party of comrades, in order to explore a Centred American wilder - nese. During the cruise of several months, the entire ship's company had devoted their leisure hours to singing to a parrot. The sailors had also lost no opportunity of teach- ing the bird all the nauticel phrases they knew. When the artist and his comrades had bidden .the bird atiel the sailors good -by, they plunged into the heart of the tropical forest, and after greet exertion in acoomp- lishing twentymight miles, they reached their eamping.place for the night. Just as the sun was going down, they were stalled to hear, in the primevel silence, a familiar voice from the top of a tall palm: "Avast there 1 Yo, heave ho 1" It was the ship's parrot. Beforothey could quite believe in its prieenee, the faithful bird flattered down to a dead stump near by, and, w.th a shrill cry, summoned the little green pareauete of the country. About ten thou:5%nd of them circled round the great gray African oracle on the stump, and finally took their placeo, in good order, on the ground. The explorers looked on in dumb amazement. When the feathered , assemblage became quiet, the flip's parrot broke into the familiar words of Nancy Lee ;" and, to tho inextintruiehable amusement of the tray - client, the surpriee of the tropical world, and the delight of the feathered conducterathoite ten thousand paroquets, with one mighty i burst of song, executed "Nancy Lee." waszlimommAssisinseuramoumeamemitmammasecunaterrommmonmeseisettematanteasommeli FASSINO NOTES.

We have no reason to feel ashamed of the growth of our North-West.

All the world is now familiar with the name, it having been misappropriated by those who manufacture haste' fat for the better market, as alio by the Governments in leg- islating for the treffie. Chevrenl has been mankind's schoolmaster in fet and soap. Is was he, too, who first obtained the pure epermaceti fat from the enbetance that is mixed with the nil in the head of the great spernavehele.

It is the enemy, of ail thrift. Men and women literally drift into debt and it is only when it is too late they find there is no escape. The facia -des for furnishing on predit have much to do with the evil of too early marriages and those who begin married life iu debt as a rule never get out of it except by bankruptcy and the insolvent's sponge, and that means, with working men being completely sold out. Men marry on credit and repent on judg- ment summonses. Then a women often gets into debt without the knowledge ofeier hus- band and keeps him in ignorance of proceed. ingsbeing taken against him tell it be too late. A wife that will go into debt without letting her husband know ought to be di- vorced, though, to be sure, there are often great temptations when doing so. All sound credit rests on the two bases of property or character, and it or just those who are moat destitute of both that rush most easily into debt.
