Good News.

Children, have you heard Of the capital
idea that is going the roUndsY' The very
doctors are taking it up, and | am told that
even piI-makers aud plaster-spreaders have
been heard to admit mourniuly that there
"may be something in it." The idea is this
that for curing disease and preserving health,
ordinary articles Of food make an excellent
medicne-better than drugs. Think Of that
Think Of curing measles with mashed potatoes,
or mumps with boiled onions Think Of be-
ing ordered to take teaspoouiul of Lemonade
every hour, instead Of that horrible syrup of
squils, and think Of having your mamma say
to you soemnly, just before breakfast. an,
dear have you taken your peach p or My
three times day." Yet such delightful
things may happen. Already tomatoes are
prescribed for diseased liver, blackberries
for bowel complaint, aud peach-pits for heart
burn. Que doctor says he has cured bilious
ness by giving lemt nade epilepsy and yellow
fever by watermelous, kidney trouble by
celery, erysipelas by pounded cranberries, and
hydrophobia by onions. There's delightful
hst OF remedies for you Wedd hope to be
able to tell you that green apples are good for
something but, alas their only use is to
make you sick, SO that you may be cured by
ripe cucumbers or elder.aOwers Still, ripe
apples are an excellent medicine in many
cases, so are pears and grapes, peaches aud
apriccfs, aud al other fruits. So are beef and
mutton and FISH, and rye, wheat, barley and
buck wheat So are cabbagcs, onions, and
many other vegetables especially carrots. All
that is necessary is to know how to prepare
these delicious medicines, and how and when
TO take the doses Some learned aud clever
scientific folks say that if you are very wise
and take these things in exactly the right
way aud in the right quantities when you are
WE'LL you will not get sick at ALL The new
doctors also consider fresh air and clean water
as very valuable medicines, and one eminent
physician says be thinks cheeriulness is the
best physic Of all. He'd sooner trust to it
than to all the casior-oil aud jalap that ever
we're made Now is not this very good news

A Rig story about Grasshoppcrs.

When you take journey, even short

Of things that may happen to hinder it, but |
don't believe you ever thought Of being met
aud kept back for good while by an army
Of grasshoppers.
Prof. b Jaeger, in his book called North
American lnsects,' tells us that in the year
1925 he was in Moscow. and that he wished
to 90 to the Crimea lie started in April,
aud, travelling by carriage, was going, he
says, "with great speed" eight miles an hour
by day, and quite as many by night
As be went through the various Russian
governments OF States of Moscow, Orel, aud
Kiev, be found the people in a state Of abso-
lutte terror through the fear that all their
green fields aud due vegetation we're about to
be eaten up by grasshoppers.
They had not taken on their wings yet,
(thc grasshoppers, not the people,, but would
get them by the fest Of June, and then no.
body knew just what would happen.
Prof Jaeger went on his journey, and
about fifty miles behind Kiev, found himself
on a kind Of prairie.desert.
Suddenly his carriage was stopped by the
grasshoppers. They we're two feet deep over
the ground, he asserts, aud piled like snow.

star ~, dragging the wheels over the wing

be done, aud So he passed over the hopper
drifts all the way to the Black Sea, fur hHa-
dred miles Was not that horrible journey
TO take2 The Emperor Alexander heard Of
these grasshopper-, aud knew that they must
be destroyed before their wings grew, so he
sent an army Of thirty thousand meu to dght
an army Of grasshoppers that no man could
number
The soldiers formed line many miles in
width and with shoyels they fought filling
bags with the little enemies aud burning
them.
But, after all, many OF them escaped, and
Of course they did all the mischief they could.
Ia some places they stripped the fields en-
tirely for that year, aud made the people poor.

color, two inches long, and is called the

Did any of you ever wonder why the dark
wood so highly valued for furniture should be
called rosewood ? Its color certainly does
not look much like that Of rose, so we must
look for some other reason. Upon asking,
we are told that when the tree is first cut, the
fresh wood possesses a very strong rose-like
fragrance, heuce the name
There are half dozen or more distinct
kinds of rosewood-tree. The varieties are
found in South America and in the East In
dies and neighboripg islands.
Sometimes the trees grow so large that
pauks four feet broad and ten in length can
be cut from one of them. These board planks
are principally used to make the tops of
piano-iortes.
When growing in the forest the Rosewood
tree is remarkable for its beauty but such is
ts value in manufactures as an ornamental
wood that some of the forests where 1t once
grew abundantly, now have scarcely single
specimen. In Madras, the government has
prudeniy had great plantations OF this tiee
set out in order to keep up the supply.
