Dyspepsia is ono of the most prevalent
troubles of civilized life, and thousands

A VOLCANIC BEACON.
Curious Lighthouse of the Republio of
San Salvador.
The republic of San Salvador, on the
Pacific side of Central America, is the
'only government on earth that collects
lighthouse fees on account of a vol-
cano that it owns.
The volcanic beacon is about eight
miles inland from the port of Acajutla
and its pillar of cloud by day and its
fire sky night are visible for many
mites out at sea. It erupts every seven
minutes and is just as accurate as any
revolving light that warns mariners in
ny part of the world. This volcano
has been keeping up this seven min-
ute series of eruptions ever since any
one can remember. It is a favorite
amusement of visiting gringoes to sit
by the hour during the lazy afternoons
and, watch in hand, time the eruptions
until they tire of the amusement and
fall asleep.
Every vessel that puts in at Aca-
utla—and it is quite an important port
f call along that part of the coast—
has to pay its lighthouse fee. There is
no other lighthouse than the volcano,
but that is a sufficient excuse for the
government of Salvador to make a
charge for its services. The explosions
that accompany the eruptions sound
like detonations of heavy charges of
dynamite, but are not sufficient td
shake the ground perceptibly, more
than a mile or two from the summit of
the crater. At night there is a spurt of
fire, a muffled report and a cloud of
steam. By day only, the steam is vis-
ible,—New York Press.
BE CHEERFUL.
Be cheerful, no matter what reverses
obstruct your pathway, nor what
plagues follow in your trail to annoy
you. Ask yourself what is to be gained
by looeiug or feeling sad when troubles
throng around you, or how your condi•
tion is to be alleviated by abandoning
yourself to despondency. If yon are a
young man Nature designed yon to "be
of good cheer," and should yon find
your road to fortune, fame or respeota-
bility'or any other boon to which your
Toting heart aepirea, a little thorny, eon -
eider it all for the best, and that those
impediments are only thrown in your
way to induce greater efforts and more
patient endurance on your part If you
are of the softer, fairer portion of
humanity, be cheerful; though we know
full well that most affections are sweet
to yon when compared with disappoints
meat and neglect; yet let hope banish
despair and ill forbodinge. Be cheerful;
do not brood over fond hopes unrealized,
until a ohain, link after link, is fastened
on eaoh thought and wound around the
heart. Nature intended you to be the
fountain spring of cheerfulness and so -
dal life, and not the travelling monu-
ment of despair and melancholy. --Sir
Arthur Helps.
