THE CASE OF LITTLE MARY WARREN, For dive years o sufferer from Catarch ard una- bic to breathe through her nostrils. NUW ENTIRELY CURED. STATEMENT FROM MRS. WARREN Of 1626 Q St. N. W. Wasurvorox, June 6, 1831. My lintle daughter has suffered for the last five years with Catarrh in her bead and throat, extenling to uer bronchial tubes. Hor head was completely stopped up, so thetshe could not breathe through ber nose. There was a constant dropping of mucus from the vack of | Ler nasal passages into ber throst, whore it | lodged, eansing great suffering, until by vio~ | lout hawking she could expel it. Her torsils were enlarged and soro, aud her breath highly offensive. I placed her cuder the care of Dr. A. ¥. Lightbill, and from bis first apviication she experienced great relief, and from that on she | continued to gain until now, when I am sal lighted to be able to say that she is cured. She can breathe as freely through her nose as thorzh perfectey well. She has gained in every way and looks as bright and rosy as a weil child | ™ tho T me eartily recommend Dr. Light- ‘dill to other sufferers. Bi Wo oles RESETS Sag, WARREN.

Nearly a century ago a man prominent in political affairs in North Carolina moved across the border and settled in Sonth Carolina. He hed been there only a short time when he committed some small crime or misdemeanor for which he was indicted. To escape arrest he returned to his old home in North Carolina.

A long official correspondence foliowed. Prominent men in South Carolina told the governor that he had not been treated with proper official courtesy by the governor of North Caralins. Tho result was that the South Carolina governor. accompanied by a large party of friends and advisers, journeyed by stage to Raleigh, the capital of North Curo- lina, for a confereuce with the governor about the matter of giving up the eriminal, The govornor of North Carolina, with a large party of distinguished friends, met the governor of South Garolina several ‘miles from town, aud escorted thom to the governor's mansion with all the ceremony due vuch distinguished visit- ors.

The best n terial to place an egg on, to absorb whitever nioisture may remain in it ufter cleaniug, is corn meal. ‘A crack in an egg is best mended by coating the injured surface with collodion. THE RECORD HOOK. The collector should keep # regular record book with an index, in which to note down any- thing of interest relating to every species ob- served, euch as, in the case of migrants, the Gates of their first arrival in the spring, the date when last seén in the fall, the localities most frequented by each species, their vari call notes, notes of alarm and son, tents of the stomachs of such specim shot and their relative abuudance; in fact, overything of general interest. | | THe BEST WAY TO COLLECT AND PRESERVE XESTS is not to detach or lift them from their imme- diate surroundings, but to leave them in their natural positions, cutting off the branches, if placed in @ tree or shrub, a couple of inches or more above and below the nest. In this way they can be much better preserved in their original shape and are less linble to injury. Nests of the und-building species should have a thin section of the sod on which they are placed taken up and preserved with them, The inner cavity of each nest should be filled ith a ball of soft paper (old newspapers an- swer the purpose very well) or old cotton wrapped in tissue paper and tied in place. This assists materially in preserving the exact con- tour of the nest mold. Where the inner lining of nests consists principally of feathers or fur a small quantity of naphthaline should be sprinkled amoug them to kecp moths and in- sects away; otherwise many interesting speci- mens aro soon destroyed by such pests. — GIRLS WHO SPONGE.

United States Consul Knowles at Bordeaux has transmitted to the Department of State an interesting report regarding the curing of cod- fish in France. Fresh codfish is a commodity unknown in that country. “Green codfish” is the name given to the fish prepared aboard Newfoundland fishing smacks and barreled and shipped in bulk to the port of Bordeaux. It is cooked and eaten after hav- ing been immersed fof several hours in water. Green codfish, however, gets stale after « while, and so it is usually recured, salted and dried before being placed upon the market. After having undergone such additional prep- arations, it isexported in great qnantities to Spain, Tuly, Belgium, Russia snd other coun- ies. TRE CODFIGH-DRYING IXDUSTRY isa very important one in Bordeaux, where are ption more than 12,000,000 cod, equivalent to 20,000 tons and representing in value $2,000,000. The establishments for cod- fish curing’ aro situated im the suburbs. At Begies, a little village « distant, there are twenty-four factories of the sort. A distunt view of these curing establishments, or rather the fields surrounding them, is like that | ofa vast vineyard. Line upon line, row upon row of wooden and wire trellises from three to four feet in height extend along the undulating plain as faras the eye can reach, and upon these rudely constructed frames are hung in- numerable fish, their split and divided sur- faces exposed to the warm sunlight of early spring or the dry breezes of autumn.

Upon receiving at the factories the crudely Prepared green codfish, half moist and covered merely with a light layer of salt, the first pro- cess necessary is to remove this incrustation With an ordinary scrabbing brush and cold Water, the cod being placed and firmly | Bpon & rough pine table for the purpose. i | vai j the | i Un- guite recently it hus been customary in, the rious fish~drving establishments throughout southwest or lowlands of France to cleanse the codfish by soaking the same in water bar- rels tor a protracted poriod. the method being More ecouomical than beneficial. In the fal | rolling country, the prairie lands and marshes | of this district water is far from abundant, brooks and stagnant pools serving as beet they muy for washing purposes, while wine aloue is tho beverage. But in the city of Bordeaux end its environs water is comparatively | plentiful, and,a few years since, municipal investigation into the fish-curing industry proving the unhealthy results that might por- tibly accrue from the repeated cleansing of salt fish in the same water, every porson gaged in the pursuit was obliged to lay mains or water conduits from the nearest or most convenient source of supply in order that fresh water alone might be employed. In conformance to the established regule- tions there have now been constructed within the greater number of these factories long, narrow tanks, or slaices, built of stone or marble, about five feet in wulth and two in depth. A coutinuous stream of water is forced through these tauks, As the sides are inclined deal-board tables, at which kneel those engaged in washing the fish.

Some fifty miles from St. Petersburg, upon the Lake of Lagoda, there is a small granite inland entirely occupied by 9 fortress. It is Schluseeiburg, the dreadful prison of state, worse than the French Bastile, worse than the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul, with its Troubetzkoi and Ateneeveky ravelins and its uuderground cells. The most resolute of the revolutioniste, menand women, who have taken part in actual conspiracies, whom it i# not con- sidered safe to keep in the fortress of Peter and Paul, are sen‘ there. The absence of any inhabitants, except those employed in the service, renders it possible to isolate the pris- oners to a degree unattainable anywhere else.

It was possible to establish secret communications with even the most jealously guarded ravelins of the St. Petersburg fortress. But the fortress of Schlusselburg remained dumb, like the grave itis. Though some of the best known men of the revolution party, in whom the greatest it terest was felt among the whole body of revo- lutionists, were kept there, we rarely could even tell whether they were alive or dead.

It is very brief, ouly such as can be conveyed upona bit of paper smuggled with the greatest danger through some friendly hand. It merely tells which of the prisoners are dead and which are still alive, but eveu this sumury is eloquent enough. We learn from it that out of the fifty-two prisoners sent there in the course of the fast eight twenty, or ‘about 40 per cent,are already dead. Several of those who survive should be added to the list of the dead.
