DISEASES cukEp BY DIET.

Chronic diseases in many cases. can
be cured by diet. DR.. Bellows gives
instances which are of exceeding in
terest. A gentleman of sixty-four,
who wore,a truss twenty five years
for inguinal hernia, was advisedn to
discontinue extra .carbonaceous food,
and has recovered in two years time
SO as to. dispense with the use of the
truss. BY taking less carbonaoeous
or heating and relaxing food, and eat
ing more nitrogenous or muscle and
strengthening. food, tone was restor-
ed, and the tendons were drawn taut
and the bowels retained. A Boston
physician, whose father and brother
died of heart disease a few years
since, became SO affected also that he
was unable to attend to his practice,
and went from city to city consulting
physicians, but found no relief. DIR.
Bellows ascertained that he was an ex-
cessive cheese cater, as were his father
and brothers. On. reducing the daily
quantity of cheese abont one half, he
began to. recover and is now well.
This was, of course, not a case of or
ganicD disease. DR.. Bellows diagnosis
was, this Cheese being principally
nitrogenous, the excessive quantity
eaten daily produced excessive tone
and tension of the muscular system,
and the heart being muscular organ
the excess of tone and tension was
most clearly manifested upon it. A
gentleman of scrofulous tendency, who
had. an open abcess for eight or ten
years, abstained from extra carbon
and partook Of food rich in nitrogen
and phosphorus, and the abcess began
to heal Immediately and in q few
weeks ceased to discharge A gentle-
man ofgouty enlargement of the great
toe joints, which required boots of ex-
ira width to enable him to walk, adopt

YOU. But they are more than money
and nobody can take them away from
you. Don't you know how to use
them? q If you don't it is time you
were learning. Take hold of the plow
or roe, or jackplane, or broad-ax, and
go to work. Your capital will then,
in due time, yield you a large interest.
Ay, but there's the rub; you don't
want to work !; you want money on

hands upon it to do the work, while
you run over the country and dissi-

take you Cor your good looks, that
she may support you.
Shame on you, young man! Go to
work with the capital you have, and
you'll soon make interest enough up
on it to give you as much money as
you need, and make you feel like o
man. If you can not make money on

TEA.

Somebody grows all the tea they use
at Knoxville. Tenn. and some one
else near Rochester, n. Y, and as the
tea is hardy plant there is no reason
why it should not be cultivated. IT
thrives in Japan, where the winters
arc severe, and on the Assam hills in
the British possessions, and why not
generally in the United States. With
the aid of Chinese labor and expert
ence all of Northern Georgia, Alaba
ma, Eastern Tennessee, Western North
Carolina, ought all TO be reproducing
districts as the climate is not unlike
that ofthe tea-districts of China. The
consumption of tea in the United
States amounts to more than 10000
900 pounds per annum, or nearly one
pound each for every man woman and
child in the country. 1t costs from 15
to 20 cents pound in China, and
more than five times as much in this
country. - -sst 'r'<-s
! The shrub as an evergreen may be
propagated by seeds or Slips, and at
times has a growth that would give it
right to be called tree, but cultiva-
ted by the Chinese it is not often more
than seven feet in height. The root is
not unlike that of the peach, and the
| plant is tenacious of life. 1t blossoms
in the winter, giving out flower
somewhat like the wild rose, and the
seed, when ripe, contains considerable
oleaginous matter and a commodity
called s'tea oil" is extracted from them
1 II bears leaves in great 'profusien.
2 These go to the ends of the earth,
making all nations pay tribute to the
: Celestials. The shrub is hardy and
thrives well on poor gravelly soil.
4 Sunshine promotes the thrift of the
! plant and improves the quality of the
Z leaves. When grown from the seed
the plants are ready for setting in a
little more than year from the time
of planting, and in two or three years
| more the leaves are first plucked. The
finest teas are gathered from young
Il stocks, and as the shrub grows older
the quality is not good. AT seven
years the tree is usually replaced by
) new settings, or ifit is still cultivated
is cut back or ''headed in" as willow
/ trees are sometimes treated in Ameri'
f ca, the branches being cut. away and
: only the stumps left. On the follow.

A Freak of Fortune.

In 1916 Louis Philippe, then King
of the French, perfected the celebrated
marriage. of his son, the Duke of
Montpensier, with the sister of Queen
Isabella, of Spain. Tile marriage of
the Queen with the Duke, of Cadiz,
and of Montpensier with. her sister,
was made upon the same day, at the
same alter. The marriage was a
breach of faith to England, which was
almost upon the point of war with
France, as it feared that the effect
would be to unite the crowns of
France and Spain upon the heads OF
the Orleans family, which ruled
France. Careful stipulations and res
ervations were made and accepted by
Louis Philippe against the probabil-
ity of the issue of the Montpensier
marriage succeeding to the throne of
Spain and the Indies. 1t was declared
not to be then within the range OF
probability. sTsur4 nssiI5ugaI zrI
Twenty odd years have past. The
Orleans family have long been BAN
ished from the throne of France, but
the fear of the English cabinet at the
time of the marriage is about to be
fulfilled By, a remarkable reyolu-
ton, the Duke of Montpensier is, to
be King of Spain, and he will be the
only crowned representative of his
dynasty. The English egoyernment,
which once feared his accession to the
throne as the greatest, fof. calamities.
will now be the first to recognize it,
AS Louis Philippe himself got the
throne of France from the elder
branch Of his family by a popular rev=
olqtion, SO does his som the Duke OF
Montpensier. arrive at the same result
in iSpain.-EnQul,er. fe.lr9 aida 20 sg

THE VALLEY OF JEHosAPHAT.

The efforts the Jews have made,
and Isuffrings, losses and humiliations
they have borne for the purpose of
obtaining sepulture in the Valley of
,JehOsaphat, form singular feature in
human history. No other nation has
ever thus struggled not to live in
their own land but to be suffered to
lay their dust therein. Many des-
criptions have been made of this mar
Jvellous place; but EIconfess none of
them ever afforded me notion of its
actual appearance. Wandering alone
past the fountain OF Sloan and by
the arid bed of iKedron,1 it suddenly
opened to me q perfect mountain of
graves ehillside paved with sepul-
chral slabs. Each stone is smali--so
small as to lead to the conclusion that
the bodies must be buried perpendic-
ularly. isAt all events, if the multi
tude there inferred were simultane-
lously to arise, they would form a
crowd as dense and compact as it
would be enormous. Short Hebrew
Inscriptions, some evidently of great
age4-are all on the stones /; and these
are laid together with intervals of on
.lytca few inches, as in our oldest
churches. The slabs are almost on a
.levcl with the ground, and Of equal
height, so that it is literally one large
pavement of death--an appalling, AL
most an overwhelming sight. a.Ii 7t u
