Minute Writing.

It was thought wonderful achieve

Germans, to photograph one side of q

to be enclosed in a tiny quill. A carrie.

tents through magnifying glass.

Cicero, vet he mentions that the whole

HEALTH HINTS.

Copious injections Of milk are recon

Half teaspoonful of common table
salt, dissolved in cold water and drank,
is recommended for heartburn.
Chronic coughs, of obscure origin,
may frequently be found due to collec

ears, and will be relieved by its
removal.
Dandelion root is laxative and some
what tonic. Dandelion seems to act es

II the bleeding from cut OF other
wound cannot be checked by the ordi-

for bathing will, it is said, check the

the use of euphorbia pilulifera in asthma.
An infusion is made by stepping one

Of the dried plant in two quarts of water

Thc dose is a wineglassful. DR.. Marsset
reports nine cases where great benefit
was obtained in organic or spasmodic
dyspnea by the use either of the above
infusion, or of an aqueous extract of the
euphorbia. He recommends giving three
or four wineglassfuls of the infusion
after the evening meal. One of the pa
tients who had been unable to work or
even to lie down for months was cured

An Herb Gntherer.

A reporter of one of the New York
papers recently visited the shop OF one Of
the many Herb Doctors" to be found
in that city, and obtained the following
information of his wares, his customers
and the business generally:
"My business has extended over q
number of years, and were l to tell you
all my adventures with herbs, and with
the faithful, to whom root is some
thing to swear bv, / would fill your
newspaper. 1 obtain the greater part of
my stock from the wooded country
around the town of Hancock, Berkshire
county, Mass. The herbs are gathered
by persons of considerable botanical
knowledge, and are shipped to me in
cases. Among the herbs l receive from
Massachusetts, are tansy, catnip, winter
green, white oak bark, birch bark and
elm bark. When they arrive here l dry
them, and sometimes weeks elapse be-
fore they are in a proper condition to
sell. 1 gather quantity of herbs in
New Jersey, around Hoboken and Wee
hawken, and receive a few others from
the South and West. Last season
sold over ton of birch
bark from which birch beer was
brewed. 1t makes what is called tenn
perance drink. l sell large quantity
of hops for making hop pillows. 1t is a
very old remedy for insomnia, and is pre-
scribed by every elderly woman in the
Eastern States. That there is great vir-
tue in them there can be no doubt, as 1
have tried them when troubled with
nervousness and wakeful nights, and
they have invariably relieved me. l
fancy there is an increase in the herb
business, not generally, but in the lower
part of this city. A large number of
colored persons have settled in the Eighth
ward, and their demand for herbs is as
tonishingly large. A few years ago the
market was overrun with Indian herb
doctors. They have all disappeared
now, and l do not know of one that is
left to continue the business. There
an Indian living in Macdougal street who
is one of my best customers. He will
not take prescription from physician,
but when he feels iudisposed he comes
here for that particular herb which seems
to meet his wants. Among the herbs
that are commonly used as tonics are
quassia wood and wild cherry bark, and
gentian wood gives the strength to bit
ters. Gentisn wood is used also as a
substitute for chewing tobacco"

for drawing, the paper, which is to serve
as a mask, could be further decorated

An Animal Annle.Gatherer.

Gathering fruit is frequent practice
of animals, and yet there is a stratagem
attributed to that "walking bunch If
tooth-picks" called the hedgehog, which
is curious enough to deserve special men
ton. 1t seems that fruit is frequently
found in the hedge e-hog's sleeping apart
ment, and its presence there is explained
in this remarkable way: 1t is known
that hedgehogs often climb walls, and
run off upon low boughs, and instead Of
scrambling down in the same manner,
they boldly make the leap from the top
to the ground, sometimes ten or twelve
feet. They coil into a ball in the air
strike upon their armor of spines, and
bound away unharmed. In taking this
jump, they have been seen to strike upon
fallen fruit, which, thus impaled upon
their spines, was carried away by them
and this has given rise to the opinion that
in some such way they may have stored
their winter homes. st. Nicholas.
