Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov't Report
ABSOUiXELY PURE
TIMELY   TOPICS TERSELY TREATED
—Acting through the blood, Hood's Sarsaparilla r.ot only cures scrofula, salt rheum, etc., but gi\.s health and vigor to the whole body.
—The farmers generally believe that this will be a good fruit year. They reason that the cold February weather will presers'e the buds from being frozen in the cold snaps apt to occur during March.
—There is a movement on foot having in view the construction of a trolley line from Norristown to Dublin, Bucks coun¬ ty, by way of Blooming Glen, Lawndale, Soudertou, Franconia Square, Harleys¬ ville, Lederachville aud Skippackville.
—Senator Saylor, of Montgomery county, urged the appointment of Joseph Bosler to fill a recently created vacancy on the Valley Forge commission, but ex-Mayor Fitler succeeded in getting a Philadelphian named DeHaven selected for the place.
—If it is any encov.. agenient to our home farmers who now sit by their kitchen windows looking out at the snow¬ drifts that still repose in their fields, we may tell theiu that sor.le Cape May coun¬ ty (N. J.) farmers have done some of their spring plowing.
—The Cut-off division of the Penn¬ sylvania railroad is now being used al¬ most as much as any of the other sec¬ tions. All the freight trains from New- York to the west and return pass over this line, and every night two mail and express trains go thundering through at lightning speed. The numberof freight trains is from forty to forty-five every twenty-four hours.
—Two loll of ground, 100 by 126 feet, located at Ryers' station, on the New¬ town railroad, were recently sold for J75 each. There was a gronnd rent of $2i, which, according to the deed.s, was to be paid in "lawful silver inoney, each dol¬ lar weighing seventeen pennyweights and six grains." For over half a cen tury this ground rent has been paid off in this way, and in this way the new- owner will have to meet it.
A Good Temiinonial.
Haverhill (N. II.j Courier.
"I have had for twenty-seven years past a badly diseased ankle bone. Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy and his Salt Rheum Cream healed it when all other medicines had failed and medi¬ cal authority had said the limb could never be u.sed again.
"A sore broke out on the ankle bone, and for ten inonths the aged writer suf fered day and night beyond the power of words to exi)res,s. A friend advised me to try Dr. David Kennedy's Favor¬ ite Remedy. I had no faith that any medicine would help me, but suffering as I did I thought I would try it, and purchased some, also a box of Dr. Dav¬ id Kennedy's Salt Rheum Cream. I used these medicines but a short time when my limb begau to heal. I will further add, among the many medicines I have tried fcr a diseased liver and kid¬ neys, none has ever proved so helpful to me as F'avori'.e Remedy. By stimulat¬ ing and strengthening the enfeebled or¬ gans, even the encroachments of ad¬ vanced a^e seem to be checked by its invigorating power.
"I have thoroughly tesled its true worth, and I kuow whereof I affirm, hoping all who read this will profit thereby, as the aged writer has, by using Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, been giveu very comfortable health for a per¬ son seventy years of age. Favorite Remedy is an invaluable medicine for children as well as adults.
"This testimonial is given from my own experience of these invaluable med¬ icines." Mrs. BEI.1NDA HoDSDOx, Haverhill, N. H.
No tribute to the efficacy of a medi¬ cine could be greater than these words of Mrs. Hodsdon, who voluntarily tells the story of her recovery. Thousands of men and w-omen whose daily life is making severe draughts on their vital¬ ity need Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. None are too old to be helped by it. It permanently cures dyspepsia, rheumatism, kidney, liver and urinary troubles ; for the ills peculiar to women it has no equal. mar 21 2t

Last Personally-Condncted Tonr of tlie SeaHon to Flori<Ia via Penrntylvania RaU¬ road.
If the general sentiment concerning the I'ennsylvania railroad company's personally-cond-acted tours to Florida is to be taken as an index of their popu¬ larity, they may in all verity be styled the ideal tours.
The next and last of this season's ser¬ ies of tours to Jacksonville will leave New York and Philadelphia on March 36, and the rate, including round-trip transportation and meals and Pullman berth on special train going, is I50.00 from New York and $48.00 from Phila¬ delphia ; proportionate rates from other points. Tickets for this tour will be good for return passage ou regular trains until May 31.
The uumber of persons for which ac¬ commodations can be provided is neces¬ sarily limited, and it would therefore be prudent for those who desire to joiu this patty to make early application for space.
Kor further information apply to tick¬ et agents, or address Tourist Agent, 1196 Broadway, New York, or Room 411, Broad street station, Philadelphia, to whom application for space should also be made.

To an Intelligencer reporter he said that the road from Doylestown to Newtown would positively be' built the coming summer. Work on it will certainly Ix; commence<I as s'xm as the weather and roads are in a favorable condition. All the capital necessarj' for building and equipping the road has been secured, and no help will will be asked of the people along the line of the road.

Deafness Cannot l>e Cured
By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Dealness, aod that is by constitutional remedies. Deafhess is caused by an infliimed condi¬ tion ofthe mucous lining of Ihe E-istach- ian tube. Wben this tube gets infiamed you have a rumbline sound or iraperfecT hearing, and when it is eniirely cloeed Deafness is the resnlt and unless tbe in¬ fiammation can be taken out and this tube restored to ita normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever ; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed con¬ dition of tbe mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hnndred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) tbat cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure,   .''end for circulars, free.

The matter of dividing the tow-n into two wards is again being agitated, and it is likely to be done, as the voters' list is eetting too large forone poll, making it risky for late voters and a long wait for return". There are vari' us pro positions for the dividing line—Sec¬ ond street, the North Penn railruad frora northern to southern boundarv, and the railroad to Main and Montgomeiy ave nue, thence to borougb line at West street The latter would be the most equitable.

Always up to, sometimes ahead of, the times iu all that makes hi.-< world famoua store a pleasure and nece sity lo the Bhopper, Mr. John Wanam.iker is at the same tium ever (ti tbe lookout f )r novel- lies which will make the grand depot nit only the haven f..r the jtded pur¬ chaser, but a sp'il where the artialic eye can be feasted and the sruses satisfied with all the refined pleuiures of this in¬ tellectual aire. We have had a superb collection ot Napoleoniana, timely and in season, at the big store; Christmas tableaux, studies in tbe textile and other industrial arts, collections of laiuoua art woiks, electrical displays and other nov¬ elties, all arranged at considerable ex¬ pense for the sole pnr|)u8e of pleasiug the people of thia city, whether purchas¬ ers or not. Now another exhibilion has been provided by Mr. Wanamaker to commemorate the nineteenth annivers¬ ary of his establishment, and with thie he reaches the climax of all his previous eff)rt8.
Tbe present exhibition is called "The Monarchs and Beauties of the World," and comprises a museum of valuable portraits and relics of kings, queens and notables of every land. The wliole world has beeu searched for the material brought together, which is not only in¬ tereating ill the view It givea of the fam¬ oua women and great men of the world, but of great historic value. Thecollec- tioq^ hM been divided into sections,- esch being arlisticHlly grouped and hung, and with no difficulty whalever oue can meet face to face ttie wiis and beauties of the French salon, tbe dancing girls of Persia, the royal families nf Europe, the red-feathered Indian chiefs of North and South America, and the rulers of the greit nations of the eaat now engaged in a bloody war fir supremacy.
The introduction of th) exhibition is in the arcade, at th ! Chestnut street en¬ trance to the i-tore, where two mnil-clad horsemen, tetring arms used in the Franco Gertua i war, are placed. The surrounding balconies are appropriately draped with the French and German colors and  the standard  of the United
StHt.\«.
The exhibilion proper ia on the third floor, where three rooms have been set aside for tbe purpose. At tbe entrance to the first and main exhibition room hani;s a large painting by Rouffet, which received one of the medals at the Paris ailon. The work represents the charge of tbe cuirassiers under tbe French Gen- eiai Frossard at R-ziuvtile Auguat Ki, 1870, and is a vital reproduction of that bloody encounter.
E-iteringtlie room the sight ia confus¬ ed until the arrHn:.;ement c^f the exhibi¬ tion is understood. The first section is [iresided over by a full length portrait of Uncle Sam, surrounded by pictures of mnny Indian chieftains prominent in their day, all nainted by celebrated French artists. In section two Germany is fully rer,resented by portiaits in oil of E:nperor William I. Frederick III and the present kai.ser, William II; pa-iteis of Bismarck, Von Caprivi and Von Molike. Surrounding these are typts of German character, male and female, presenting many cf the prominent fi;;ure8 at the German court, past aud preseut.
Iu the I'aiian section there are life¬ like portraits of Kinj Uinberto anii t^ieen Margheiita, surrounded by well- known Italian personages and types of beautv and character in sunny Italy. France is appropriately represented by tbe lamented Carnot, ex-President Ca."- imer-IVrier aud the present ruler, Faure. Twined together are the standard of France and the banner of Joan of Arc, while above and below are reigning French beauties of sociely and thc stage, in addition to a mairiiiticent collection ol portraits of women of the Revolutiuu and the beauties of the court of Ix)u:s le Grande. Spain, England Portugal, Russia, Greece, Denmark, Sweden and Holland are all represented by portraits of the royal families and pictures ol characters famous in the annals of their respeciive nations. In this way every nation on the face of the earth is repre¬ sented eiiher ia oil or by pastel, the celebrities and noted characters sur¬ rounding each nalional group, together with pictures of natives of high aud low degree, affording an excellent opporlnni ty for the study of character as depicted in the countenances of the varioua raci- representatives of the earlh.
Scattered around are several master pieces in oil by Brissit, Grother and S.t- baiiier. The collection of busts is one of Ulf features of the exhibition. All ol the.se were executed by French sculptors. Sadi-Carnot, Bismarck, Alexander I, thi czirina. Napoleon I, Marie Antoinetti and other historical peisonages come under this categi rv. and all are given wilb a fidelity and truthfulness extreme¬ ly lifelike.
Another feature ia t! e series of minia tures—500 in all, and on ; of the most magnificent collec'iona in the woild. Among tbese are several portraits of Napoleon at different s'ages of his career. Here is a Pompadour; there Recamier, on one side a Marie Antoinette; on the otlitr a Prim ess de Conli.

Bow ta Make Skeleton Leave*.
Skeleton leaves may le made by steep¬ ing leaves iu rainwater iu au open Tea- Jj sel exposed to the air and snu. Water mnst occasionally be added to compcn- sato lo.ss by evaporation. Tho leaves will putrefy, and their mombranes will begin to open; theu lay them on a clean -white plato filled with fresh water, and -with gentle touches t.tko off the external membranes, separating them cantionsly near the middle rib. This process re¬ quires a great deal of patience, as ample time mnst be given for tho vegetable tissue to decay aud separate. The fol¬ lowing is a <iuicker -way: A tablespoon¬ ful of chloride of Iimo in a liquid state, / mixed v.ith a quart of puro water. Leaves of plant.-i to bo soaked in the ¦ mixture for z^bont fonr hours, then taken ont and veil washed in a b.-isiu filled with fresh water, after which left to dry with froa exposure to light and air.
How the  Chinese  Reckon  by tlie  Aid eA\ the Fingers.
The Chinese method of reckoning i the  fingers is both simplo and  ingen-j iou.s.  As each finger has threo joints, thai numbers from ono to uino may bo indi-l cated by touching these in snccessioii, up oue side, dowu tho middle, and np ' tho other sido with tho thumb nail.  By adding a sign for tho naughts auu reck¬ oning units on tho littlo finger, tens oOj tho fonrth, and so on, any nnmber of fiv* figures may be indicated, and it would be ca.'-y to modify and extend the Bya>| tem for higher numbers.
