PURSUED BY A DEM'N. How many suicides, think you, reader, have been committed by pers-ins driven distraught and hunted to their doom by the demon of chronic 111 health? Count less. For Instance, we know, do we not, that hypochondriasis is a Tionomanla a sort of minor madness produced by chronic dyspepsia? Again, insomnia, or sleeplessness, often a result of the came cause, culminate in a derangement of the reasoning faculties. It is, therefore, of momentous consequence to prevent the arrival of disease at its chronic phase, when it dally and nightly scourge the sufferer to a dangerously uncertain goal. No medicine known to science, as a means of arresting the maladies to which It is adapted, exists equal to Mont -tier's Stomach Bitter. Among these com plaint are chronic Indigestion and in somnia, kidney and rheumatic ailments, constipation, and liver trouble. Appetite is Improved by the Bitters, the blood fertilised, and bodily substance and vigor Increased by It. ROYAL Baking Powder baa been awarded highest honors at every world's fair where exhibited.

A prominent business man was heard to remark yesterday that the suggestion of Mayor Taylor In his inaugural ad dress to the common council, concerning the advisability of the city purchase of a (uitable site for a park was a very wise one, and caused much favorable comment. "While property I cheap." said the gentleman, "the city should pur chase a tract for such a purpose, ami not delay until the present large Individ ual Interests are diversified, at which time property would cost 100 per cent more than at present. While there Js every prospect of some lively mow In real etate. there are. however, several suitable properties which could lie pur chased for a very reasonable amount. In a year from now this prop.-ny will he valued at nearly double Its present wonh and delay In the park m.ttter will be greatly to tne disadvantage of the city. I sincerely hope the common council will take Immediate action In this matter." AT THE BOARDINO HOUSE. New York World.

The man with the V-shaped nose tilted back In his chair In defiance of the laws of etiquette and gravitation. 'No, thank you " A far-away look came Into hi eye. "I'm not thirsty."

Dear Editor: Every clean citizen will commend the course of the Astorlan In speaking out boldly against Ihe encroachment of the disgraceful element of society on the thoroughfares over which decent men, women and children are compelled to pas two or three time a day. It Is a standing blot on our city government that house of III fame are tolerated anywhere In our city. But lnlqultou greed Is absolutely Insalla'ile. Tolerate it anywhere and It soon leap over the bound you may set for It, and empty It sewage into the very presence of Innocence itself. It seems sstoundlng that any man with a clean wife and a family growing tip around him should lie so blinded by a few paltry dollar a to deliberately sell himself and hi good name to slid permit his property to be used for such Ignoble purpw. And while passing thl stricture let us remember what we are dolnt by Mcens Ing and tolerating the social leper In our city practically unmolested. First of all we are giving a most forcible object lesson to our girl and boys of our own low moral tone. Our boys and girls nat urally get the Impression that we sre not much shocked by the ixhlbltlon of vice to be seen nightly on our treet. What wonder then If girls scarcely lr. i,-i,. ar nightly found ftround th corner of "Bwllllowli." and nt least on of these brought up "amen in respectable luuue.

Each of these separate "facets" Is a perfect eye, and they are so arranged ns to give their In sect owner a commanding view of nil the cardinal point and every conceivable direction at one and ihe same time. In the ant, the little creature which we have so miny "curious note" concerning, there are not to exceed fifty facet In the great compound eye. It ha been argued thai this In nature's provision, because the ant spends so much of II lime under ground. Thl may lie true, but what Is the naturalist going to do about Iilafi mucronata, the most sluggish of the European beetles? This last-named creature spends nlnely-nlne-hundredths cf It time In the dark, yet has 2M eye facets! Meloe, another Insect of similar habits, has GOD facets In each eye-mass. In certain varletlea of the dragon files the aggregate of facet In tho compound eye often exceed I2.0UO. Tt appear to be a general rule, notwithstanding the ex ception noted above, that the swiftest In sect have the greatest number of eye facet. The swift-winged butterflies have from in.orio to 17,0110 fn each eye-mas, and th Mnrdella, the wlftent nnd most active known beetle (a resident of Hrllalni, has no fewer than 2T..0OO facet In each of It enormous compound eye.
