"From an experience of over thirty years in the sale of proptietary medi- cines, 1 feel justified in recommending Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, One of the best recommendations of the Pectoral is the enduring quality of its popularity, it being more salable now than it was twenty-five years ago, when its great success was considered marvelous." - B.

Had newerepere been pule. lislied in A. )) 1400 in London, they might have frequently ehronicied similar events to therm in the columns of Russian pepers to- day. N ot many years ago a Reisman liobl(a man made a balloon asoent, and had the Misfortune to oome (Iowa somewhere in the Beltio provinces, where nob even the picture of a balloon had penetrated, A wild panic ensued, in wnioli the unluoky aeronaut vvas alneoet torn to pieces.

This supersti. tious TERROR ABouT BALLOONS, however, is au amiable wea,knets when com- pared with others. Belief iu witchcraft is still general in some clietricts. It was only a short time • ago that the Russian news- appers related how a peasant had, with the approval of his acquaintances, murdered his aged aunt because he believed her to be a witoh who had made him the victim of her evil veils. A. still more horrible case of superstition was recently reported in a lead- ing Russian journal. An old peasant wo• man, living near Sookooin in Ceuaasus 1 wae srepected of witchcraft. Beyond the infirmities of age, and perhaps of ill -temper, the unhappy wretch was no doubt as inno- cent as the victims of our own " witch. findere " used to be. Her son died, and immediately the rumour spread that she had slain him, with the assistance of the Evil One, whose co-operation she had clahned. The neighbours at in judgment over her, and deoided that she ehould be submitted to "the ordeal by fire ;" that is to say, she was to be burnt and tortured in the hope she would • confess her supposed °Hine. The terror of the poor old creature deprived her of coherent speeoh. This was aseumed to be PROoP 05 HER GUILT. She was seized, tied to the pole, and burnt to death. What gives a still more fiendish aspect to this carnival of cruelty is that her surviving son was amongstthe moat energetic of those who tortured his mother. It will take some generations of education and pro gress before the peaaantry of the remote districts get rid of mush bloodthirsby super- stitions. As a race, they are generally amiable ancttaffeetionate, rarely quarrelling in their cups, as is too often the oase in England; it is only when their supernatural terrors are aroused that they seek what they think is their own safety in malignant mani- festations of hued° ignorance. Examples such as those we have related are fortunately rare. Generally, their 'superstitions do not go beyond the ordinary phantasmagoria of bogeydom. In the Ukraine the people believe in every sort of supernatural being, from vanipires to water sprites. Amongst the moat gruesome of their superstitions is the oerenaony performed in some remote places TO BRING ON TELE RAIN in a season of drought. The pee aunts loo up day after day to a cloudless sky wher the sun is blazing. The crops are beginning to droop, and the whole country side is aoh• ing for the cool rush of the long deferred rain. It is. then that they take counsel to- gether, and make a strange propitiatory offering bo the powers that preside over the moisture held in suspension by the unseen donde. Should extreme methods be deemed necessary, an old woman, without a, rag to cover her, is harnessed at midnight to a plough, and driven through the village, whilst the male portion of the population are suppoted to be sleeping. Her drivers are the village maidens attired„,for this horrible ceremony, in thelr nightgoitins.If any of the men, except the greybeards, should be tempted by profane curiosity to to look on this strange profession, a grett misfortune will, they believe, befall the community. This strange performemoe is probably the relio of a. midnight sacrifice to some heathen god. As iS usually the case In such religious rites THE VIOTIU IS CHOSEN from the ranks of the weak and defenceless. The scapegoat plays a prominent part in most; efforts of man to propitiate a pa.ntheon of capricious deities. All is not black and ugly, however, for theee ie a romantio aide to these degrading superstitions. ..lihrough. out Southern Russia the people tell endless stories of witches, wizards, fairies, wood sprites, and vampires. Every wood, stream, and tree has ifal siairitual and invisible deni zone, who bring good luck or ill luck as the ease may be, to the wayfarer. It is, too strange how these obsolete imperistitions °roe; up side by side with events that show the progress of liberal notions in the land of the Cm. Not long ago the inhabibants of Tomsk in Siberia were surprised an the appearance of a female advocate in the district Court of that town. She came to plead in the interests of two men who were, as she proved to her Judges, undergoing a term of illegal imprisonment. The Court gave the lady an impartial hearing, and her clients were ordered to be set at liberty.

Milk, no matter how pure, ie condemned by a prominent British physician as a "mis- chievous diet for adults,' and if we were to credit some other medical men, is a danger. nue medium frequently in use for conveying • the germs of various contagious diseases. Beef, and flesh generally, are pronounced oracularly to be unfit for oonstunption by human bongo. Even salt has its enthusias- tic enemies' as is evidenced by the faot that an anti-:salthoepibal and anti -salt societies have been in recent timea*amongse the curi- osities of tnodern propagandism. Soaroelli anything whioh men eat, drink or do escapes strong condemnation in the name of medical edema, and nervous people may well find living uncomfortable and dangerous if they pay heed to very much which the printine press gives currency to as new light in sanitary science or hygiene. Medioel science is not fairly chargeable with the onslaughts made in its name against what the general judgment of mankind throughout the ages has approved of. Medical science is disposed not to pronounce sweeping judgments, but rather to seek to explain the fade of individual experience in matters coming within its proper sphere. The onslaughts referred to are often due to the fact that some medical Men neither have, nor can have, the capacity for scientific in- vestigation. They ,eire not built that way. Their faulty methods of thought necessarily lead to faulty conclusions at variance with the lessons of every day -6tperience. Very often a voo exclusive following • of a certain line of enquiry to the exclusion of premises which shoutd have bentaken into account, results in a very pronounced ?pinion being given to the public with the name sometimes of a fairly • clever medical MGR attached to it. These are, however, but incidents In the grand onward march of medica. ectionoe, and their parallels are found in all most every other science. • It is diffioult, however, to account for the medical utter- ance which was recently found in the ar- chives of the Nuremburg railway at Furth, and which was drawn up by Bavarian dote tors in 1835. The protest reads "Travel In oars drawn by a locomotive ought to be forbid den in the interest of public health. The rapid movement cannot fail to produce among the passengere the mental affection knownas delirium furiosum. Even if travellers are failing to incur this risk the Government at reast should protect the public. A single piano° at a l000motive passing rapidly is sufficient to °ease the same cerebral derangement; consequently it is absolutely necessary to build a fen3e ten feet, in height , on each side of the rail- way." There must have been a good deal of rash movement here. The doctors were very far wrong, bub that their fears of mischief to thenervous aye tem resulting from veil - way travelling WAG ROD wholly unfounded, es shown by the complaints of queer nerve= sensations made by SOMG commercial travel- lers who have been long on the road. The exaggeration of the Bavarian doctors was not in degree much greater than that of some more recent pronouncements. • A Boy's Awful Death, lyforiTREAL, Oat. 24.-A terrible accident took place the other morning about three o'clock in the Montreal rolling mills, near St. Cunegonde. • The workmen in this °stab. lishmenb had been divided into gangs, one party working at night and the other dur- ing the day.

The crew, 15 all told, were not rescued till noon on the following Satur- day. For the first 21 hours after grounding, the vvreok was being continually washed over by seas. The crew then took refuge in the rigging, where they were further exposed for 44 hours without food or water. From the mizzentop they had to climb to the maintop, and ultimately to the foretop. On Monday an apprentice boy was so proetrated, that ie olimbing from the mizzen to the maintop, he lost his hold, fell overboard, and was drown- ed. Ten thousand dollars were raised and offered as a reward for the rescue, which was accomplished on Saturday by a, tug and two lifeboats.

' An Indian Attempting Suicide From Re- venge. • A correspondent of the Calcutta "English. man " tells a curious story which he heard from a warder in the Alipore Gaol. Two prisoners were reeling jnte yarn on neigh- boring benches. One of them had conveived a bitter hatred for the other, and was wont to declare thab he would gab hanged for murder. At last, he Reid, bhe time had arrived, and reiterated his threat so often that the man became frightened, and mak ing an income for leaving his bench quietly sought she European superintendent of the mill, and asked his advice. The latter lis- tened to the story, and advancing to a win- dow asked the man to point out his pores - outer. He did so, and a moment afterwards they actually saw the fellow out his throat from ear to ear, and throw the bloody knife over towards the bench a few minutes pre- viously vacated • by his companion. The alarm was given, and the injured man was carried to the infirmary, bat not before he had mustered strength to indicate that the other men, who had been with the superin- tendent at the very moment of the dem; had tried to murder him.
