FORGETFUL GWNNERS.

In quiet nook of the royal castle at Berlin,
not accessible to the general public, there is
small, plainly furnished room, known for mora,
than two centuries past t0the custodians
of that ancient pile by the quaint designation Of
the Kugelkammer, c1 Bullet Chamber" The
origin of this title is due to the following curious
historical incident: In the year 1851, Gussavus
Adolphus, the heroic King of Sweden, sat down
before Berlin, with his army, and opened peace
negotiations with George William, then eleetor
of Brandenburg, taking the precaution, however,
to erect batteries in commanding positions within
close range of the city enceinte, with view to
exercising wholesome pressure upon the elector
and his military advisers. Under these eircum-
stances, George William promptly came to terms
with his royal adversary; and the King, delighted
at the success of his nanoeuvre, instructed his
artillerists beyond the walls to fire grand feu-
de.joie in honor of the treaty concluded between
himself and the elector His orders were at once
obeyed when to the CONSERVATION of the Berlinese
a storm of missiles burst upon their house roofs.
The gallant Swedes had forgotten to draw the
balls from their cannon. Four of these ponderous
shot penetrated the walls of the royal castle, and
were subsequently dug out from their Judgments
in different portions of the building to be collected
and ever after carefully preserved in the chamber,
which, to this day, is named after them.

SWEET.ELAG CANDY,

Sweet-hag candy is relished by all lovers of
sweetmeats and it is valuable aid to digestion,
as it will stop the disagreeable rising of gas, so
annoying to dyspeptics Being eaten greedily by
children, it is often better than other medicine
A bit held in the mouth when one is caring for
the sick win often counteraet the effect of con.
tagious germs. To prepare it, take fresh, healthy
roots of sweet-hag, and after careful washing,
cut in slices oneeighth Of an inch in thickness.
Put them in stew pan OF bright basin, and pour
a little more cold water over them. Set on tho
stove and heat slowly; when the water bols
turn it Off If the candy is desired for medicine,
quite enough of the strength has been removed,
but for sweet-meat it is better if boiled up and
the water turned off four or five times. Now
measure the sliced roots, and to each two cup
fuls allow one and half cupfuls of white sugar,
turn on water enough to cover, return to the
stove and simmer slowly, stirring often until the
water has quite boiled away then turn out on
buttered plates, and stir frequently until dry.
The long simmering after the sugar is added
makes the roots quite tender, and the candy will
keep fresh and nice for years.-Country Gentle

MEDICAL ADVICE.

Take the open air,
The more you take the better ;
Follow natures laws
To the very letter.
Let the physic go
To the Bay Of Biscay;
Let alone the gin
The brandy and the whisky.
Freely exercise,
Keep your spirits cheerful;
Let no dreams of sickness
Make you ever fearful.
Eat the simplest food,
Drink the pure, cold water;
Then you will be well,
Or at least you ought to.

Easter dawned bright and beautiful, but
as the evening shadows came on the
clouded sky poured out gentle rain. The
morning services at the several churches
we're largely attended, the capacity OF the
prominent sanctuariss being taxed to
their utmost capacity. The most elaborate
music was rendered at the Cathedral, St.
Matthew'S Episcopal and Fourth Street
Methodist Churches, The attendance on
the evening worship was quite slim as COM
pared with the Outpouring Of the people
in the morning, which can easily be &C.
counted for by the Indictment weather.
There is q superstition about wet weather
on Easter which some people moan over
as II 1t was as sure to come to pass as one
Of Vennor's prophecies, the superstition
mentioned providing for rain on seven
consecutive Sundays II the dew falls on
Easter Sunday. This and other supersti.
tons should be clAssed with that ancient
fable in regard to the appearance OF the
