"COckrOaeh Tea"

A Philadelphia medical journal has
received communication from Louisi-
ana physician asking if there is any
virtue in tea made from fat female cock
reaches, brandy and sugar. The fol-
lowing formula of the preparation used
by old women nurses in the South was
also furnished: "One dozen fat female
cockroaches, put into pint of boiling
water CATER being bruised); let stand u
couple of hours, then strain we'll; add
two tablespoonful of brandy and two
of crushed sugar; stir till thoroughly
dissolved. Two table spoonfuls every
hour"
The Professor of Marteri Medica in
Jefferson College said recently to a
Record reporter that he presumed that
cockroaches were not entir ely unknown
in the medical practice in this city, and
"cockroach tea" may be used with good
effect in certain cases, although, owing
to public prejudice against the insect,
it would not be popular medicine.
The use of the cockroach as q diuretic
in certain diseases is almost universal in
Russia, and is very general now in
European medical practice as cure for
Bright's disease. To what extent it
may be used in Philadelphia is not
known. Physicians would not care to
have it known that they prescribe so
detested an insect in their practice, and
few druggists will acknowledge that
they keep it in stock. It's medical prop
critics are in many respects the same
as those of cantharides, and when pre-.
scribed are in the shape of q pill. made
with the powder of the dried insect, or
the ''cockroachN tea of the Southern
"grannies." A Record reporter, who
visited several Of the leading drug stores
in the city recently and asked whether
powdered cockroaches were kept in their
stock, was told that they did not sell it,
but that prescription containing the
active (blattiden) can be easily prepared
by drying half dozen of the animals
and powdering them, so as TO make a
pill, or solution can and occasionally is,
prepared by soaking fat female cock
reaches in whisky. The Professor of
Materia Medica in Jefferson College
says that the cockroach is no more
offensive than the cantharides, which
are of the same class of animals, and
their smell is if anything, less disgusting
than the much-used Spanish fly. Several
physicians who were interviewed
on the subject said that. in their
opinion, it is only matter of time when
cockroaches, or the active principle,
will be in as common use in this country
as they are in Russia or Central Europe.

Some OF the Trials OF Authorship.

To be known as writer is to become
public property. Every book writer
publishes-say, rather, every line he
traces-is an open sesame as good as a
latch-key for some one ; it may be some
score. or hundreds, or thousands. The
already recognized author, with whom
his atfinities may be more or less strong,
takes his hand as brother-after the
public has accepted him-sometimes
before. The unsuccessful authors,
whose efforts find their natural habitat
in the waste baskets of the maya
zines and newspapers, seeing that he is
aHoat, struggle to the surface through
the dark waves of oblivion, and grasp at
him, in the vain hope that he can keep
their heads, as well as his own, above
water The hitherto undiscovered twen-
tieth cousin starts up in the huckleberry
Bushes, and claims him as relative.
That citizen of the world, the borrower
whose remittanccs have failed to reach
him, is at hand to share the good fortune
of his literary friend, whose works, as
he says, have been his travelling COM
panions from China to Peru. The poet
with his manuscript, the reader with his
,larynx, invade his premises, and he
must read and listen, perhaps to his own
verses. until
He back recols, he knows not why,
Fen at the lines himself has made.
Rejoice, 0 man of many editions!
You have sold your books yes, and
you have sold your time, your privacy,
your right hand, if that is the one YOU
hold your pen in, and slice of your i'm
mortal soul with it! For if you do not
sooner or later explode in all the NAL
edictions of ErnulPhus and Athanasius,
you are gifted with a patience that Job
the all-enduring might have envied.
There is one more trial which touches
the finest sensibilties of Az author. The
reader who has adopted him as his favor
lite, or his object OF admiration, has
formed an ideal of his person, his ex-
preston, his voice, his manner. How
rarely does an author correspond to this
ideal picture! How often is the visitor
who has made pilgrimage to the shrine
of his demigod disappointed, olsen
chanted. and sent off regretting that he
has exchanged his false image for the
real presence! Let every pilgrim on his
way to the IDOLS temple read Miss Edge
worth's angelina, or LAME Incon-

A Discourse on Public Charity.

IL hold heah in my ham," began
Brother Gardner, as the triangle sounded
and Samuel Shinlaid aside his harmoni-
can. II hold heah letter from one of
de charitable societies Of Detroit AKIN if
dis club can be depended on to aid in de
goot " ok dis winter. In sartin cases
dis club kin be depended on fur ton Uf
coal, a cord of wood, a bar'l OF flour or
a.ten-dollar bill. In sartiu odder cases
dis club won't come down wild as much
as shingle-nail. Public charity in dis
kentry am Gurus thing.
at insists dat cherry man shall arm his
own libin', an den it turns in an sup
ports de class who will starve sooner dan
work.
ut am de enemy of whisky, an yet
as soon as whisky makes a pauper it
supports him.
at fiatters de man who gifts a few
dollars ahead, and yet demands sheer
of dat money to aid de idle an dissi-
pated.
Public charity comes as near bein' a
bold-face fraud as any sentiment you
can name. 1t encourages laziness by
providin' fur de families of drunkards.
1t encourages immortality by proyidin'
homes an hospitals for de immoral. 1t
encourages the spendthrift by feedn' an
clothin' him all winter AFTER he has
squandered his money all summer.
Public charity am wall agin WHICH de
reckless, de lazy, de shiftless an de dis
solute lean when all odder props give
way.
Skinner it down, and public charity
means takin' de money which man has
saved by hard work an economy an usin'
it to support de man who has squandered
time an money widout car as to what
became of him. 1t am blackmail on in
dustry--it am slap at economy am
kick at industry. How does it come
dat wild dis kentry constantly CROWN in
wealth, and constantly furnishing in
creased chances for poo men to get
along, dat pauperism am also increasin' /?
Eight tenths of. de saloons in America
am supported by men whose families
need cherry cent dey arm fur clothin'
and bread an who rely on public charity
in case OF hard winter. De kentry has
five times as many paupers as it had
fifteen y ars ago! Why? Kase we raise
five times as much money to support
'em. Double de amount OF the poo fund
an you will double de number of pau
perS.
An now let me ask you plain
queshun. Ii work hard week in an
week out--if my wife works hard an
economizes--if we patch, darn, dye an
cut ober--if we buy cheap tea an coffee
an pare de Eaters close, an manage to
pay for q little home, an put money in
de bank for sickness or death, has any
human bein' right to ask me to give
Que penny to man who has thrown
away scores of dollahs for beer and to-
bacco who plays keerds an shakes dice
fur money-who works only when he
feels like it-who neber dreams of econ
omy-who neber practices self-denial?
| reckon not! Let us now turn our faces
towards de rowteen Of bizness. - From
