The celebrated authoress, so highly es­ teemed by the women of America, sass on pages li'3 and 445 of her popular work, “Eve’s Daughters; or, Common Sense for Maid, Wife and Mother:” “ For.the aching back—should it be slow in recovering its normal strength—an A ll - couk ’ s P orous P laster is an excellent comforter, combining the sensation of the sustained pressure of a strong warm hand with certain tonic qualities developed in the wearing.

In reading over the literary items of the week, I found not much to interest me, until my eye caught sight of an article headed “Jenks’ Dream." Imag­ ine my surprise to find it ended up with a recommendation to use Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. Nevertheless, being a great sufferer from sick headache, I determined to try them, and, to my great joy, I found prompt relief, and by their protracted use, a complete immunity from such attacks. Pierce’s Pellets often cure sick headache in an hour. They are gently laxative or actively cathartic, according to size of dose. As a pleasant laxative, take one each night on retiring. For adults, four act as an active, yet painless, cathartic. Cause no griping or sickness. Best Liver Pill ever made. Smallest, Cheap­ est, Easiest to take.

Ve st?X being established at Boston, and the “quoines” being a shilling, sixpence and threepenny pieces. Before this the currency of the colonists was a very mixed one. Musket balls passed for change at a farthing apiece, and were legal tender for sums under a shilling. Tobacco and tobacco receipts were legal tender; com and beans and cod­ fish were also employed. Wampum, however, was the commonest currency of all. It Was the shell bead money of the Indians, and was soon accepted by the colonists as a convenient token. There Were two kinds of wampum— wampumeag, which was white and made from the conch of the periwinkle ; and suckanhoek, which was dark pur­ ple and made from the hard shell clam. The purple was worth twice as much as the white. The shell was broken in pieces, rubbed smooth on a stone till about the thickness of a pipestem, then pierced with a drill and strung into necklaces, bracelets and belts. The English, French and Dutch set­ tlers all used wampum, the value be­ ing fixed in 1640 at six beads for a penny. The strings were called fathoms, and varied in value from five to ten shillings. Shell money has played quite an important part in the world’s com­ merce. The small, hard shell known as the cowry is still used in India, the Indian islands and Africa in the place of subsidiary coin. t In 1851 more than 1, 000 tons of these shells were brought from India to Liver­ pool, to be exported to the coast of Africa in exchange for palm oil. In Bengal they are worth 32,000 to the rupee (forty-six cents), or about seventy to the cent. The cowry is a gastero- pod mollusk, is beautifully marked, and is striing on a tough grass string for convenience of transportation. The British Columbia Indians still use a variety of wampum made of ha- iqua sheila These they string up and use as an ornamental border to dresses, their currency value being one string for a beaver’s skin. Looking back to the pre-wampum days, it is learned that of the aboriginal money of the American continent, the mounds in and adjoining the valley of the Mississippi have produced speci­ mens of lignite, coal, bone, terra cotta, mica, pearl, carnelian, chalcedony, agate, jasper, gold, silver, copper, lead and iron, which were fashioned into forms evincing considerable skill and art. According to Prescott, the money of the Aztecs and the nations in kin consisted of quills filled with gold dust and bags of chocolate grains. Choco­ late is still used in the interior of South America for the same purpose, as are cocoanuts and eggs.—San Francisco Chronicle._______ __ ____ The Moon’s Queer Freak. Mariners are noted for their supersti­ tions and the queer tales they tell of phantoms of the sea, the land and the sky. Marblehead, Mass., according to the records of that ancient village, has been a spot rich in the superstitions of its fisher inhabitants. Among other remarkable stories they tell of a fisher­ man who once went out at night to look over his right shoulder at the new moon for luck, when instead he ¿aw a dark, angry looking cloud that soon changed to the perfect form of a soldier standing with legs wide apart and his pike rest­ ing on his breast. The knapsack and gun strapped to the soldier’s baek were plainly to be seen, as were the pike and the general outlines of the figure. Presently the figure seemed to grow in size, and to have a hat or cap in its right hand. This was more than the old mariner could stand. He called his wife and children to view the appari­ tion. All now began to fade except the object in the figure’s hand, which soon assumed monstrous proportions, presenting the spectacle of a full rigged ship, the figure of the soldier having faded entirely from sight in the mean­ time. For fully an hour the white sails of the phantom vessel were visi ble, clearly outlined in strange contrast to the black hull of thè vessel itself. “This queer sight,” says the old ac­ count, “was viewed by divers others of ye same towne.”—St. Louis Republic. Telegraph Offices and Messages. Storms, snows, drenching rains, and furious winds are apart of the regular routine of life. Two-thirds of the sickness through life is caused by colds; you cannot be too well protected in stormy weather to avoid them. A man having a “Fish Brand Slick­ er’’may be exposed to a storm for twenty-four hours at a stretch, and still be protected from every drop of. rain, besides being shielded from the biting winds.. No matter what your occupation, if you are liable to be caught in a rain or snow storm, you should have on hand a “ Fish Brand Slicker.” It will surely save your health, and perhaps your life. Beware of worthless imitations, every garment stamped with the “Fish Brand” Trade Mark. Don’t accept any inferior coat when you can have the “ Fish Brand Slicker” delivered without extra cost.

The establishment of an honest Bu­ reau of Claims comes at a very oppor­ tune time, as the late act of Congress nullified all contracts between claimants and their attorneys, which gives every claimant a chance to transfer their claims to the Examiner Bureau. The Retort to Guizot. A candidate who displays needless assurance, and who gives himself airs, is sure to draw down from his examiners some humiliation of his vanity, some dis­ agreeable or severe reproof. And if, in Jjjg. answers, he indulges in smart repar­ tee or sharp retort, he is certain to pro- voke, if not a reprimand, at least the severity of his judges. Before giving an instance I must first premise that Guizot, the examiner on that occasion, had recently published a “Life of Cromwell,” which the public re- ceived with mortifying coldness; also that the Black sea, in Latin “Pontus Euxinus,” is shortened in French into “Pont Euxin,” also that “pont” is French for “a bridge.” While Guizot, then, was examining at the Sorbonne, after questioning a stu­ dent whose answers seemed to him wide of the mark, he asked, derisively : “You can at least tell me how many arches the Pont Euxin had?” “Easily enough,” the young man pert­ ly answered. “Exactly as many as your ‘History of Cromwell’ has had readers.” Such a gross insult, uttered in public, naturally did the candidate more harm than good.—All the Year Round.

The boy arose to his feet. Everybody looked at him in surprise. He wore a very sorrowful countenance, and many thought that he was truly repentant for his wrong doings. Every one listened while he opened his lips to speak. “I would like,” said-the youngster solemnly, “to ask the prayers of those assembled for my poor old grand­ father 1” The boy sat down, and there was a constrained silence for a moment, after which some one suggested a song, and the meeting closed’in the usual form.

I have been told that a few - years ago there was a westerner in Congress whose wife kept a boarding house dur­ ing the two years he served here as a representative. When he was elected it was known that he was not worth a dollar, and that the pittance he had to spend for campaign expenses was con­ tributed by friends.. When he returned home, at the expiration of his term, he had $15,000. This he invested in real estate in a thriving town. His prop­ erty rapidly enhanced in value, and his successor in congress tells me that this thrifty statesman is in a fair way to become a millionaire.
