@lusion that the | ¥ not about the country, so they appointed one of their number a leader, and broke ofi from the party. The leader turned due west; 80 with the people and wagous and flocks he travelled three days, and then descended into the broad valley whose treacherous mirage promised water. They reached the centre, but only the white sands, bousded by scorching peaks, | met their gaze. Around the valley they wandered, and one by one the men died, and the panting flocks stretched them- selves in death under the hot suo. The children, crying for water, died at their mother’s breasts, and with swollen tongues and burning vitals the mothers followed. Wagon after wagon was aban- doned, strong men tottered and raved, and died. After a month’s wandering, a dozen survivors found some water in a hollow of arock in the mountain. It lasted but a short time, when all perished but two, who escaped out of the valley and followed the trail of their former companions. Highty-seven families, with hnodred of animals, perished there ; and now, after twenty-seven years, the wagons still stand complete, and the iron works and tires are bright, and the skrivelled skeletons lay side by side.

Brine that will Keop Heggs for Six Months or More.

Take a pail, or an earthen jar is better, as it is less absorbing, cooler, and will not stain the contents; into it put one quart of lime (jointa); to this add water gradu- ally until it boils; thea stir until the lime is dissolved ; then add one teaspoonful of Ashton’s salt, stirring well, and when boiling has ceased, gradually add five gallons of water; the following day,when cool, the lime and salt being of the right kind, there will be found on the surface a coating of ice; break this gently and you will have a brine as clear as water, the lime having gone tothe bottom. This is sufficient brive to fil a ten-gallon jar with eggs. Into the jar should first be put a thin layer of the slaked lime, then a quart of lime, thea the eggs laying them in gently so as to avoid breaking, for broken eggs will spoil and make the brine unfit for use. As the eggs | are added, so add the brine uoti! within two inches of the top. Put on a clean muslin cover ao inch more ia diameter than the outer dimensions of the jar; tuck it in sunuzly ; on this put the remainder of the siaked lime, which seals it, and the eggs are pickled for just so long as you keep the sealing lime wet by frequently adding lightly salted water.

On Noses.

It is said that the most extraordinary men of every age have been distinguished by having extraordinary noses. Begin- ning with the ancients Scipo Nasiea deriv- ed his name from his prominent share ot this feature ; so did Ovid, sarnamed Naso, on which account Pope represents his flatterers persuading him that he had ‘a nose like Ovid’s. Cicero’s nose was dis- tinguished by a tetch (cicer); Salla’s by This latter made a great figure in those days, and the Athenians, while he was besieging them cut a number of jokes on it. They com- pared it to ‘a mulberry, dredged over with meal,’ as we readin ‘ Plutarch’s Life of Sylla’ This joke, as many other jocose things often do, cost the inventors

tator put his nose within their city gates. The nose of Cromwell was well calculated to vie with that of his Roman prototype, if we may credit Oieveland, Birkenhead, and other contemporary writers. ‘ Crom- well’s face,’ says Birkenhead, ‘wears a * natural tiffnay, and his chin may furnish _@ rusty coat of mail. His nose is a comet "0 grain. Certainly itis no human fea ture, but the emblem of a mandrake. And this basilisk would king it!’ Nag poleon the First was wont to say, ‘ Give me a man with plenty of nose: long nose, long head,’ His best generals were, as a tule, remarkably well provided in this ‘particular. His own was exquisitely chiseled, sculpturesque in mold form and expression; though, strangely enough, not one ofthe brothers had a nose worth looking at. But the most prominent nose in Europe was Arthur’s duke of Wellington ; and the iron duke’s captains —Anglesey, Picton, Combermere and Hardings—were men all noteworty ia this respect also, Sir Charles Napier, the conqueror of Scinde, was similarly favored. lis nose was “like the beak of an eagle ; it was curved aud keen as the

Esa., Brockyvule, Ont, :—

T. J. B. Harprne,

DEAR Sirn—Itis now two years since your “Constitutional Catarrh Remedy” was itro- duced to me. I have waited this long to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be ‘‘too good to be rue.”

I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par ticulars. The inward ‘‘drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, | would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1576, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third. I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some forja cold in my head. A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper. Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister. Port Elgin, Ont., Aug. 24, 1878.

- TRY IT.

Tho Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation ef 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 Deen 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 CarstcumM 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. Al! other plasiers are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect acure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physieiansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in 2 porous plaster have been discovered, Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by DR. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM Porous PLAsTeERs, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually preseriba them, in their, practice, for such diseases as

. rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and aH 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 wavtacertain cure, ask your druggist for

YR. MELVIN’s CAPsicum Porous PLASTER. You can hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects, Although powerful and quick in its action, you ean 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 7) hundreds to your friends,

Ask your druggist for Dr, Mrtyrn’s CApPsi- 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 auy address in the United States or Canadas,
