Eating Lemons.


A good deal has been said through the
papers about the healthfulness of lem
ons. The latest advice is how to use
them SO that they will do the most good,
as follows: Most people know the ben
eft of lemonade before breakfast, but
few know that it is more than doubled
by taking another at night also. The
way to get the better of the bilious sys-
tenn without blue pills or quinine is to
take the juice of one, two or three lem
ons, as appetite Graves, in as much ice
water as makes it pleasant to drink
without sugar, before going to bed. In
the morning, on rising, at least half
hour before breakfast. take the juice of
one lemon in a goblet of water. This
will clear the system OF humor and bile
with efficiency, without any of the
weakening effects of calomel or con-
gress water. People should not irritate
the stomach by eating lemons clear; the
powerful acid of the uice, which is al
ways most corrosive, invariably pro-
duces Inflammation after awhile. but,
properly diluted, SO that it does not
burn or draw the throat, it does its
medical work without harm, and, when
the stomach is clear of food. mas album

tenn thoroughly, says medical author

Died at the Age Of 10 years.

The death of Mrs. Lucy Burel, of Mil
waukee, at the age of 10 years and five
days occurred few days ago. Mrs. Burel
was colored lady, born in slavery. She
preserved her faculties and health in a
wonderful degree up to the time of her
death, and had vivid memory of the
leading events of her long life. She was
born in cart in which her mother and
other slaves were being carried to the
home of her master. She lived in Virginia
and Kentucky during her slave days, and
spent part of her life in Missouri. She
never claimed to have nursed George
Washington, but asserted that she saw
him once during one of his tours through
the country. She was fond of relating
"reminiscences of the great men of the
early days. In chat short time ago
she gave vivid description of the appear
ance of Lafayette and several other noted

her great age, and she was secured for ex-
