PURSUED BY CANNIBALS. A Eemarltable Story of Adventure In New Guinea. The London Standard prints a letter containing a plant-hunter's account of his stewardship in New Guinea, He was one of a party of six sent out by the proprietors of a', Melbourne newspaper to explore the interior of .the great island: "In our little schooner' he says' we went up a very large river, one or two miles wide; the Captain would not let us land, as he wished to explore the rive? first. This main river turned out to be an estuary, though not known before. From it we went up a new river which was called the Syme, for many miles, passing several mouths of other rivers, all new to white men, and which were duly named. We were anxiously looking out for natives or their villages, but saw none. All the way up for miles this Syme was affected by the tides, but when receding: we had to use an our strength to hght against the powerful current to get upward. The naturalist and I were often anxious to get on shore; but no, our Captain wanted to get to the top of the river, or as far as we could, and then return and begin land explo ration. We went up many miles, until the current was so strong that we could not get any further. We could see the banks of the river were clothed with lofty trees, palms, and in many instances ferns of large dimensions. There was one tree (I could not tell what it was) one evening most brilliantly lit np with fire-flies a most wonderful sight. "On our return," the collector con tinues, "down the riv(r toward the mouth of the sea, where we intended to begin exploring inland, we saw a sight that made us shudder a large number of canoes crammed full of natives, can nibals. These wretches live further round the coast, and make periodical trips down the coast to the more harmless natives, and clear them out, killing all before them. They are called the Dugarra men. They have decimated the coast tribes almost to a man. (Sic). In some instances they take them back and kill and oat them. Here was a dilemma, and the force of the current was fast taking us into their midst. We," however, managed to get.'-our little schooner to the windward and set sail, at the same time assisting her with all our power, with the dingy we had. Night was coming on, so that we man aged to escape through the darkness. The next thing was, what to do. Oar Captain was sick; he had been unwell for some days. At last, as a ruse, we set all sails on the schooner for up the river and abandoned her, getting into the dingy and rowing to the side or the river. Tlaving done this, we sank the dingy m the mangroves that grew fear fully thick. We hoped they would follow our schooner and we should es cape. We had to leave alt behind ex cept a few odds and ends we could hurriedly get a little medicine, our gu as, and some oatmeal and a few bis cuits. We thus stlrted off for the coast, to find it through swamps and man groves, every moment expecting' the cannibal wretches at our feet. On we went, and at last, weary, made a bed on the ground where best we could. In the morning we found ourselves on the edge of a large flat of cold, gray soil, covered with pitcher plants; Out on we went. Then we came to a large creek or river; had to get through as best we could T-the blazing tropical sun over head," the m'asraatic steam from the swamps enveloping us. Some of us be pm to feel a touch of the fever; one got light-headed for a while. We continued for three or four days at this game, and nothing to eat but dry oatmeal. One morning we were crossing a native hunting ground, and presently, without warning, a spear came whizzing through the air and -struck one of our men in the foot, going clean through boot and foot. We thought our end had come, and determined to die desperately; but the natives decamped as quickly as we made up our minda to fight it out, for we could not find one. On we went, and reached the coast at last." THE MAGIC HAIRPIN. The Thing: Most Truly Representative of the (treat American Girl. The proof of a boy's mechanical skiU is usually what he can. do with a jack knife? ; the proof of a woman's is what she can do with a hairpin. Few women take naturally to ordi nary tools. They use hammers in a ginger y a.id ridiculous manner, or they Iiouud ihoir lingers with them; they put !unt-pointed nails along instead of aero.-s the grain, and then wonder why it splits; they use screw-drivers princi pally to pry open boxes, and they think wire-pincers were made to crack nuts willi. But they know how to manage a hairpin. "A lady," said an observant gentle man the other day, "always opens a let tar .bet er than a man. A man tears off a corner, and then pulls the envelope more or leas to pieces in getting at the co .i tents, but a lady draws a hairpin, intrt3 one prong at a corner, and rips pun the edge as neatly, easily and iju'ckly as if the tool were made for the pun.o?." With this samo "toor' she can, and frequently does, button her glove and occasionally her boots. She cuts the magazines with it She pricks memor anda wien caught without a pencil. She twists it iuto claps for broken Jcwelrr. She uses it to suspend plaques. She employ? it to draw corks, and also to snuff candles. She inserts it in win dows to keep thorn from rattling, and usc.4 it to brace back shades that incline to tumble down. She succeeds, with its help, in turning the hasps of win dows from the out3!de when obliged by an accidental locking-out to burglarize her own house. She arms herself with it wheu traveling to keep disagreeable neighbors at a respectful distance. She files reedpts upon jtv She pins np no-. t:ces to the milkman, bhe even bend, it roughly into the form of her initial,) and hangs it i.i the keyhole of her inti-i mate friend by way of a card when she1 has forgo ten her. card-case and the family arc out.'' j The? aa lias long been regarded r.f the object mo t suggestive of the Span--ish women. Ladies of other countries are famed for their especially graceful or skillful use of other dainty family femmine articles. But if we were asked to select the thing most truly represent a live of the Great American Girl, we would rame without hesitation the neat, t' o ir genious. - the inexhaustible, the Masrie ii.iirpin! iV.

In the pocket of the dead man was found $800 in money, a pair of revolvers and a number of tools such as might be used by a burglar. . 1IAKKET REPORTS. Portland.

In a recent at tack which extended to the neck, shoul ders and back, the pain was intense. She resolved to try St. Jacobs Oil, the great pain-reliever.

Starkey & Palen, of 111 9 Girard street, Philadelphia, are so success fully treating with, their new Vitalizing remedy, are what are known aa abandoned or "desperate" cases many of them a class which no physician of any school would undertake to cure.

There were several dozen of the hyclen- ists in council, each with his individual hobby. Each thought all the others were wrontr. Each was sure that his own hobby i was the only correct j one. A gentleman present said he had stamen Brown a iron Bitters for debility and dyspepsia, and, i tliousrh he didn't want to make a fuss about it, he knew the use of this great tonic to be better than all- the notions he had heard advanced in the council. One practical cure is worth thousands . of (messes and notions.

The fertility of the soil is governed by the proportion of fine impalpable pow der which exists in it, this powder alone acting directly upon vegetable growth, which it doe by entering the roots in solution with the water and acid.? with whioh it conies in contact. Put into a large (about a foot and a half long) glass tube the soil to be examined, the sample to be all the soil removed iri tigfPn$ a hole two inches square by eight inches deep in any part of the land to be tested, then fill the tube half full of water and vigorously shake the whole until the contents are well mixed, and afterward allow it to. settle. The heavy grains sink first, layers will be formed, the most fine and impalpable being nearest the top, the amount of which will of course govern the degree of the fertility of the sample, and an in telligent inspection of the different layers will allow any one to form a pretty accurate analysis of the soil from whioh the - sample was taken.

My liver became hard like wood; my limbs were puffed up and filled with water. AH the best physicians agreed that noth ing could cure me. I resolved to try Hop Bitters; I have used seven bottles; the hardness has all gone from my liver, the swelling from my limbs, and it has worked a miracle in my case; otherwise I would have been now in my grave.
