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

, CAPITAL COMFORT.
Washington, D. C. Mrs. Mary K.
Sheed, 1110 Maryland avenue, Washing
ton, D. (.'., states that 'or several years she
had suffered terribly with facial neuralgia
and could find no relief. 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. Rubbing the parts affected,
three times only, all pain vanished as if
by magic, and has not returned.
AEAKEOiffED CASES.
A comparatively large number of the
cases which Dra. 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. Thev are, in
fact, such as have run the gauntlet of
experiment icithin the regular schools
of mcawine, ana of quaccery wun
out, until between diseases and drugs
the patient is reduced to the saddest
and most deplorable condition, ana
one for which relief seems impossible.
No treatment can be subjected to a
severer test than is offered by these cases.
The marvel is that Drs. Starkey & Palen
can effect a cure in so many instances. If

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. Thousands of haonv
convalescents speak gratefully of Brown's
iron Bitters. ;

-, Analysis of' Soil.
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. San

Hardened Liver.
Five years ago I broke down with kid--ney
and liver complaint and rheumatism.
Since then I have been unable to be about
at all. 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. J. W. Moray,
Buffalo, Oct. 1, 1881. ,
Poverty and Suffering.
'I was dragged down witbudebt, poverty
and suffering for years, caused by a sick
family and large bills for doctoring.
I was completely discouraged, until one
year ago, by tne advice oi my p stor, i
commenced using Hop Bitters, and in one
month we were all well, and none oi us
have been sick a day since, and I want to
say to all poor men, you can keep your
families well a year with Hop Bitters for
less than one doctor's, visit will cost. I
know it." A Workingman.
