A Strange Remedy.

DIR. Murrell tells this story: San old
negro woman came to my Office suffering
from rheumatism in one knee. The knee
was actually swollen, and she had been
complaining for some time, and on this
particular morning it happened that
some brown corrugated paper was lying
on my table which had removed from
some specimens of maltine and pepsin
that had been sent to me for trial. She
asked me what kind of plasters those
were. told her they were patent Chi
nese corrugated rheumatic plasters' that
have been sent to me for trial. and il she
wanted to try one of them she might. She
concluded to do so. Next day she came
back, and when asked her how she was.
she expressed herself as being a great
deal better. She had been able to walk
up stairs, the swelling was gone, and she
declared it drew 30 hard in the night
that she had to take it of. "-Cncinnan

Minus T..

A correspondent of the Chicago In
ter ocean writes: You newspaper
men have been publishing as something
marvellous string of verses in which
the letter "E" is conspicuous for its alb
sence," as the phrase goes. Pshaw |
That letter is very much over-estimated.
One hardly misses the little joker if he
gets used to doing without him, pro-
vided he is allowed to write as poets
generally do, without sense, too. Thus:
John Knox was wight Of wondrous might,
And his words rang high and shrill,
For bold aud stout was his spirit bright
And strong his stalwart will
Kings sought in vain his mind to chain,
And that giant brain 10 cont oil,
But naught OH plain or stormy main
Could daunt that mighty soul.
John would sit and sigh till morning cold
It's shining lamps put out,
For thoughts untold on his mind laid hold,
And brought but pain and doubt.
But light ut last on his soul was cast,
Away sank pain and sorrow;
His soul is gay in fair to-day,
And looks for bright tomorrow.
And so on al minimum. So, you see,
fellow can write with ease without Els
Gf you will forgive cheap pun).

Waiting when Fortune sheds brightly her smile;
When choice are the pleasures the pathway beguile
There always Is something ~ wait for the while.
Waiting In poverty, anguish and grief;
Waiting for heaven 10 send us relief,
Telling the heart that the trial Is brief.
Aye, waiting for joys that will never appear;

With penitent throbbings the bosom is rife,
Waiting the dawn OF hoer life.

Edward Everett.

The late DIR. Chaplin was once asked
what he lectured for. Fame" he re-
piled, $3.50 and my expenses" Those
were in the days when lectures were be-
coming popular. Since then Mr.. Beech
er and Mr.. Cough have been paid from
5000 to $500 for a single lecture. A cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Gazette,
gossiping about the pecuniary success
of Edward Everett's lectures, says:
Everett was hardly lecturer in the
ordinary sense of the term, and yet his
address on the character of Washington,
delivered in behalf OF the Mount Vernon
Association, was of this nature.
The amount cleared by the various de-
liveries of this address averaged $500
for each occasion, and it was repeated
100 times. In fact, Everett's oratory
has done more for charity than that of
any other speaker on record.
Including the Mount Vernon effort,
the aggregate is nearly 800, 900. may
add, as special feature, that his address
on the early days of Franklin, which
was repeated five times, yielded 81, 600
for charitable objects.
Another address which was repeated
llCetu tlllcS DIouSnb OlO,OOO lOI olulllhr
purposes. The eulogy on Thomas
Dowse, delivered twice in behalf of two
institutions, brought 81 500.
Everett was the most accomplished
man of his age, being at home in states
manship, literature, oratory and the
highest walks of learning.
His versatility was such that it de-
served the expression which johnson
applied to Goldsmith, that there was
nothing in literature that he did not
touch, and nothing that he touched that
he did not adorn.
Everett's memory was really wonder
full. As preacher he frequently mem
orized the hymns to be used of Sab
bath, because it aided in reading them
to the congregation.
He committed to memory almost
everything that came under his attention
for many years in other words, what
entered the eye was fixed upon the
brain.
To this is to be added rare personal
beauty, statuesque dignity, and charm
ing power of oratory. How surprising
that this admirable concentration of
gifts never inflated their possessor, who
was through life so marked by simplicity
of character

Joy life much better than have done, wish
them much JOY. EBENEzER BUDGET"
The boxes contained nearly $500, 900
in gold and silver, which Mr. Wilson car
ried to the house.
The book was, as the letter stated, a
complete history of the life of the old
miser, rs he was called, though the many
references TO the sums given away for
charitable purposes proved him anything
but miser. Between every two leaves
of the book was placed FL 900 note on
the Bank of England. These Nellie took
out as she came to them, and found there
was eighty of them.
Charles wrote to Jonathan Budget to
come on and visit them, as he had bust
ness OF much Importance to communicate
to him. The next day brought him, and
Charles told him of the treasure he had
found. Mr.. Budget refused to touch a
penny of the money, saying he had all
that his father wished him to have, and
that was enough for him, but he would
like many of the papers found in the
boxes, which Charles gave him.
The matter was not noised about at all,
and to this day the people of Cantonville
do not know of the discovery of the
money on the island.
MIR. and Mrs. Wilson still spend their
summers on the island, and it is still a
great place for summer visitors. When
you go there next summer, for of course
you will recognize the place although the
names are not correct, see if you can find
the caves.-Springfieid Mirror.

Our Flag.

The present flag of the United States
was designed by Capt. G. Reid, the gal
liant commander of the Gen. Armstrong.
Our flag originally bore thirteen stars
and thirteen stripes. As new States
came in the number of stars and stripes
were correspondingly increased, pursu-
ant to an act of Congress passed in 1874.
This was found to be impracticable for,
as the States increased, the width of the
lines had to be lessened. Besides, there
was nothing in the device to recall the
original confederacy of the United
States. To return to the use of the
original thirteen stars and stripes would
be inappropriate, because the device
would give no hint OF the growth of the
republic. Capt. Reid proposed TO re-
turn to the original thirteen stripes as a
memento of the original Union, and add
q new star whenever new State was
admitted, as indicative of the growth
of the States. This suggestion was
adopted A flag with this new arrange
ment was first raised over the Hall of
Representatives, ut Washington, on the
4th of April, 1918, at 2 o'clock in the after
noon. At that time the Senate Chamber
and Hall of Representatives were sep
arated, the center of the building not
being completed Resolutions of thanks
to Capt Reid " for having designed and
formed the present flag of the United
States were offered in Congress-. The
dimensions of the United States stand
ard are as follows: Regimental flag, six
feet by six feet six inches storm flag,
ten feet by twenty garrison flag, twenty
feet by thirty.

How They Travelled i'm the Good Old
Time.

In the sixteenth year of the reign of
Charles III. of England WIS established
the first turnpike-road where toll was
Hartford, Cambridge and Huntingdon.
Until the middle of the middle of the
eighteenth century, however, most of
the merchandise conveyed from place to
place was transported on pack-horses
through short distances. Between dis
tant places a cart was used, a pack-horse
not being able to transport a sufficient
quantity of goods to pay the cost of the
journey. The common carrier between
Selkirk and Edinburgh, n distance of
thirty-eight miles, required a fortnight
for his journey, going and returning.
In 1913 a coach for passengers between
Edinburgh and Glasgow, distance OF
forty -four miles, was drawn by SIX
horses, and the journey to and fro was
completed in six days. In 1850 the
coach took thirty-six hours to the jour
ney. In 1S49 the same route was made,
by route three miles longer, in one
hour and half
In the year 1853 there was but one
stage-coach between Edinburgh and
London. This started once a month
from each of these cities. It took u
fortnight to perform the journey.
In 1886 seven coaches started daily
between London and Edinburgh, which
performed the journey in less than for
ty-eight hours.
In 1863 the number OF passengers by
the coaches between London and Edln-
burgh could not have exceeded about
twenty-five monthly. In 1886 the
coaches conveyed about 140 passengers
daily.
Until the close of the last century,
the internal transport of goods in En-
gland was performed by wagon, and was
so expensive as to exclude every object
except manufactured articles and such
as, being of light weight and small bulk
in proportion TO their value, would al
low high rate of transport. Thus the
charge from London to Leeds was OF the
rate of E13 ton, being 13kd. per ton
per mile. Between Liverpool and Man
chester it was 40s. ton, or I'D. per
ton per mile. Between Liverpool and
Manchester it was 40s. ton, or 15d. per
ton per mile. Heavy articles, such as
coal and other materials, could only be
available for commerce where their po-
sition favored transport by sea, and, con-
sequently, many of the richest districts
OF the kingdom remained unproductva.

Strengthening the Voice.

For putting the voice in good order
for singing or speaking, the following
recipes have been given:
A teaspoonful of compound tincture OF
cinnamon beaten up with raw egg. A
raw egg beaten up with large cup of
black tea and good milk or cream.
For troublesome hoarseness chew o
piece of horseradish.
For hoarseness arising from over exer-
ton of the voice, dissolve in the mouth a
piece of gum catechu about the size OF a
pea.
To preserve the voice in good order,
practice daily without fatiguing the
voice. Over exertion and want of prac-
tice are the chief causes of disorder in
the voice. Rest cures the results of the
former, and practice those of the latter.

When to Cut HaY.

II will soon he time to cut the carly crop of
hay. There a number of things to determine
the proper time for this work; first, rs to the
feeding value of the hay. For this, as far as
quality is concerned, there is no doubt that the
grass and clover should be eut trille before the
period of full blossom From this time on to
near the end of blossoming, though there may
be an increase in the weight of the hay gathered
it is of much poorer quality; the nutritiye cle-
ments have not increased materially, hut there
IS much larger per cent. of undigestible woody
fibre. Secondly, the value of the aftermath is
increased by the early cutting, as it has ten or
twenty days longer TO grow. Thirdly, there is
practical advantage in cutting the hay early,
rs it prolongs the having season and permits Of
lie IS hurry, and therefore more care in gathering
the crop. These points apply equally well to
the grain crops, they being too frequently har-
vested later than is best for the richest fodder
and the finest quality of grain.-.imeriodR Igri-
