Wuar tus Tuump Dors.—.A\ writer suggests in the following paragraphs a convincing argument for the existance of a wise and skillful, a far-seeing and all-powerful Designer :

Have you noticed that ' -want to take hold of anything, a bit of bread, we will say, that it is always the thumb who puts himself forward, that he is always on one side by him- self, while the rest of the fingers are on the other ?

If the thumb is not helping, nothing stops in your hand, and you don't know what to do with it. Try, by way of experiment, to carry your spoon to your mouth withowt putting your thumb to it. and you will see whata long time it will take you to get through a poor little plateful of broth.

The thumb is placed fn such a mane ner on your hand that it can face each of the other fingers, one after the other, or altogether, as you please; and by this we are enabled to grasp, as if with a pair of pincers, all objects, whether

A horrible and mysterious murder was committed on Wednesday night last in Jersey City. The victim was a police constable named Smith, and what makes the crime more extraordinary is that he was, at the time, lying in the same bed with his wife who was wholly unhurt. She alleges that chloroform must have

Baron Baude, the late French Ambassa- dor to the Pontifical Court,has finally left Rome, his conduct during the Conclave, and after the election of Leo X TIL, having made him many enemies. He opposed jealously Cardinal Franchi’s appointment to the office ct Secretary of State, opposed the exhibition of the late Pope's remains at St. Peter’s, and opposed Leo XIIL.’s giving the apostolic benediction there at Easter, giving as a reason some sensational] facts about the Liberals making a display of tricolours, for which he was indebted to his imagination, as was subsequently discovered.

Michael Reese, the news of whose death at Wallenstein, Germany, was received at San Francisco on Saturday, leaves an estate approximated at $10,000,000 or more. With the exception of Senator Sharon, he was the largest real estate owncr in that city. Some years ago he made a will leaving the bulk of his estate to benevolent institutions.

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

DR. MELVIN’s CarstcuM Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a nedical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered.

seing, however, convineed of the wonderful cures effected by DR. MELVIN’s CAPS7CUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually preseribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters or liniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will seli hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELvrin’s CApsi- CUM POROUS PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25. cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
