OUR PATENT DOUBLE TRACING WHEEL, tracing two lines at a time, one to cut by and the other to sew by, making the seams all the same width, enables a young girl to do the tacking as well as an experienced Dressmaker.

The Ready M,d reliable Remedy. Armed with this powerful antidote to disease, every man is his own family physician. The first hospital surgeons admit Its unparalleled and healing virtues. Foreign governments sanction its use in their naval and military services, and mankind throughout the world reposes the utmost confidence in ita cu-ative properties. Sore Throat, Diptheria, Quincey, Mumps, ani all Derangements of the Chest and Throat. If, on the appearance of any of thlpae diseases, the Ointment be well rubbed, at least three day, upon the neck and upper part of the chest, so as to penetrate to the glands-the worst cases will yield in a comparatively short time, particularly if Holloway"s Pills be taken in appropriate doses to purify the blood. Bad Legs, Bad Breasts, Ulcerous Sores and Wounds. Many thousands of martyrs from the above complaints have found life almost unsupportable; but if Halloway's Ointment b* briskly and plentifully rubbed upon and around the parte affected, it will quickly penetrate to the source of the evil; cure may be safely guaranteed, and disease driven from the system. Nothing can be more simple or safer than the manner In which it is applied, nothing more sanitary than its action on the body both locally and constitutionally. The Mother's Friend-Skin Diseases however desperate may be radically cured. Scald heads, itch, blotches on the skins, scrofulous sores, kings evil, and such like affections, yield to the mighty power of this one Ointment, provided it be well rubbed around the affected parts two or three times a day, aad the PULs be taken according to the printed directions. Both the Ointment and Pills should be ustdinfht following complaints.-— Bad Legs Corns Scalds Bad Breastt Fistulas Sore Throata Burns Gout Skis Oiseasas Bunions Gland'ilarSwellings Scurry Chilblains Lumbago Sore Heada Chapped Hands Piles Tumours Contracted and Stiff Rheumatism Ulcers Joints Sore Nipples Wounds For cleansing and clearing the blood from all Imparities cannot be too highly commended. For Scorfula, Scurvy, Skin Diseases, and Sores of all kinds is a never-failing and permanent cure. Sold at Professor HotiowAirle Establishment, 78, Now Oxford St. (late 533, Oxford St.).

FIVE STRANGE SIGHTS. In the heart of Wyomning Territory is a mountain -of solid hematite iron, with 600 feet of it above the gtound, more than a mile wide and over two miles in length a bed of lignite coal big enough to warm the world for centuries; eight lakes of solid soda, one of them over 600 acres in extent and not less than thirty feet in depth, and a petroleum basin which contains more oil than Pennsylvania and West Virginia combined, from which in places the oil is oozing in natural wells at the rate of two barrels a day. Trees were found in Africa which were computed to be 5150 years old, and a cypress in Mexico is said to have reached a still greater age. The oldest tree, if not the oldest living thing upon the globe, is the cypress of Santa Maria del Tule in the Mexican State of Yoxaca. The life of this venerable forest monarch has spanned the whole of written history. At last accounts it was still growing, and in 1851, when Humboldt saw it, it measured 42 feet in diameter, 126 feet in circumference, and 382 feet between the extremities of two branches. Suppose we have a balance gigantic enough for the purpose, and the sun is resting on one of the scales. Now put the earth in the opposite side of the scale. You might as well weigh your head against one cf the towers of the East River Bridge. Pile a hundred thousand earths into the balance, and the sun does not stir. There lies the colossus immovable. But get together another hundred thousand, and then another hundred thousand, and stack them up in the pin against the sun. Three hundred thousand worlds piled up on one side of the balance and still the sun keeps them np. It would take 30,000 more, or 330,000 earths- to make the beam even against a single sun. A strange sight was presented in the streets of Tucson, A.T., one day last month. A woman ap- peared carrying a child's empty coffin onher shoulder, followed by a lot of little girls. Later the scene was reversed and the coffin was borne by four little girls, followed by several women. It is no uncommon sight there to see a coffin borne to the grave on the shoulders of a man, but a womau rendering the service was a novel spectacle. An ancient burying ground was recently unearthed in Paris while digging a trench in the Rue Salande. The coffins of stone and plaster found there have been traced to the seventh, eighth, and ninth centuries. They were pointed to the east, and had crosses in- scribed on a circle, symbolical of eternity, and other emblems of Christianity. The coffins were found filled with dirt, their covers having given way.

HERALDS OF SUMMEER'S APPROACH. The lovely flowers which herald the approach of summer come this year in glorious profusion. The periwinkles, with their starry blue flowers and their shining myrtle-like leaves, the woodbines and elder trees pushing out their gently swelling buds; the May and lovely hyacinths, not to forget the graceful and delicate laburnum—beautiful as the laburnum is, it is dangerous, because poisonous. The poiscn was first discovered by Huseman and Marne in 1864. Adults and children have frequently been poisoned by eating the seeds of this plant. But to continue our floral list, we may mention the yellow primrose, the white lilac, violets of either hue, cowslips, oxlips, and pansies. There is a lovely spot in Devonshire where violets and primroses abound, and no prettier sight is to be seen than that of many little girls, some clad most picturesquely and armed with baskets, gathering these simple flowers, with which the ground is covered. Here they lie by hundreds, by thousands—aye, by tens of thousands. And how happy the children seem as they fill their baskets, how happy and how good; would that they could always keep so, content to enjoy in peaee and .grati- tude the blessings of nature But, ala,s who dare I expect a life of such happiness ?- The Lady's Pictorial.
