Although I would not admit the truth of their opieion, yet my own conscious feeling assured me of the truth of their observation. There were many other ailments which kept m oheck my former vitality and buoyancy of spirits, which need only be hinted at m ft note such as this. In this state of general debility I was advised to take a course of Webber's Vitadatio: 1 took it regularly for about six weeks, and took, m ail, the contents of six large bottles. These were from the first a great source of help and relief, and I began to put on flesh at the rate ofl£lb per week, and I now enjoy the very best) of health. To any of my own ccx, especially those who are troubled with en nui, from whatever cause arising, I verily believe a course of Vitadatio will give them back the blessing of good health, such a% I enjoy, and for which I desire to he truly tbaokful.

linda. "Yon know Miss Angelina gave > it to you." Biddy was confounded. "He gave it to me last night, miss, as true as I hope to go to heaven," bug said. $ "Last night?" said Angelina, with a warning glance, supposing Biddy to have forgotten her lesson. "I mane this morning," said Biddy, taking the hint. "Give me the letter," said Belinda Then, snatching it, she tore it deliber ately into four pieces and threw them on the floor. That evening Spooney called to in quire after Miss Belinda's health and found her well enough to walk out with him, and Angelina and her mamma be gan to compare notes. Then, and not till then, the letter began to be a mys tery, and Biddy, being sent for, explain ed that, to the best of her belief, Mr. Softheart gave it to her to put m Miss Belinda's room the night before. Then m dismay the ladies rummaged the dust bin and after an hour's search appeared m the parlojs with dusty dresses and soiled hands and nine little pieces of paper. These, deftly pieced together, made a whole note, which, being pe rused, revealed a proposition. Belinda returned very late with a very conscious look upon her face and stared m astonishment at the dusty ob jects, who met her with excitement on their oountenancea It was a good while before the truth could be extraoted from the interjections and ejaculations with which she was greeted, but when at last it was made manifest Belinda lis tened like one m a tranca She had in deed been made an April fool of. Mr. Softheart had really proposed. The brownstone house had been offered to her, the bank stock and all that made the bachelor an eligible match, and she that very evening had accepted Spooney. It was not very complimentary to her betrothed, but she went into hysterics at once and kept them up for an hour or two. As for Mr. Softheart, he never pro posed to any one again.—Toledo Blade, Clever Japanese Devices. The Japanese have a mode of prepar ing stencils which is better than ours. In our method complicated figures must be divided byjbroad lines of paper m order to glue the paper together and make the stencil strong enough for use, and these bands of paper leave blanks m the design which must often be filled m by hand. The Japanese cut their stencils out of two or sometimes three thicknesses of thin but tough paper. Then between each two of these sheets they lay, crossing one another m all directions, human hairs or fibers of raw silk. These are specially laid across the open parts of the design, and when the several layers of the stencil are glued together they serve the same purpose as the bands of paper left by our stencil cutters, but they form no obstacle to the application of the color and leave no blanks m the design. The samo olever workers use rice paste, applied with the brush or with Btencils, for "stopping out" m dyeing or m painting with dyes. When the color is fixed, the rice paste can be washed away. They also obtain the op posite effect on silks of European or American manufacture. Having found that these often fade quickly, they exe cute a design on them m rice paste, then treat them with chloride of lime until they are bleached. The rice paste is then washed away, leaving the de sign m the original color.—Art Ama teur. liong Sleepers. When the heat of a tropical or semi tropical summer dries up every pool and parches the ground to such an extent that it is difficult for animals not en dowed with great powers of locomotion to obtain water, they compromise with nature by sleeping off the season of heat and scarcity. The winter sleepers are all pretty well known; but, owing to the summer sleepers being for the most part inhabitants of tropical countries, far removed from the path of trained observers, we are less acquainted with the species practicing that means of es caping the heat and drought of summer. Indeed at present only one mammal, the tenec, a hedgehoglike beast of Mada gascar, is known to do so. In South America and Africa various reptiles ißStivata In the plains of Venezuela the alligator, the land and fresh water tortoise, the boa constrictor and several sorts of the smaller kinds of serpent lie motionless during the hottest period of the tropical summer. But their dorman cy is not so perfect as that of some hi bernators. In Brazil, Australia and the Cape Colony lizards, frogs, tortoises and insects pass months of the rainless sea son inclosed m hard earth, and m India many species of fishes live during the hot season m a torpid condition, imbed ded m the hardened clay.—Brooklyn Eagle." How Oarnot Wm Named. The way m which the late President Oarnot was named after the Persian poet Sadi, who is little read nowadays, is interesting and recalls a deal of French history.
