Fortunes In Stone and Bronze

Washington City has great deal of
money invested in statuary and some
of it may be looked upon as a mighty
poor investment. Greenough's naked
statue of Washington cast $40, 900, and
the statue of liberty away up there on
the capitol dome cost $25, 900. Clark
Mills, the sculptor, received great sums
from the government, though he died
comparatively poor. Fifty thousand
dollars was the price paid him for An
drew Jackson, who sits upon a rearing
horse opposite the White House, and he
received another $50, 900 for his eques.
trian statue of General Washington in
Washington circle. Another $50, 900
statue is that of General Thomas in
Thomas circle, and it must make the
taxpayer happy as he looks at it to re.
member that Congress paid $25, 900 for
the pedestal, and that the four bronze
lamp posts around the base cost
$4,000 apiece. Away off to the
east of the capitol, in Lincoln
square, three thousands pounds of brass
represent Abraham Lincoln giving free
dom to the negro. The statue cost $l7,-
900, but it was paid from contributions
made up by the freedmen of the South.
General Nathaniel Greene stands in park
northeast of the capitol at a cost of $780,
900, and in Scott circle, General Win
field Scott has been embodied in bronze
for $45, 900. Winnie Ream's statue of
Farragut cost $40, 600 The statue of
Mcpherson, together with its pedestal,
cost about $50, 900, and down in Raw
Inns square, southwest of the White
House, there is bronze statue of Cen
eral Rawlins which looks just as well, at
cost of 100000 In addition to these
there is the statue of Professor Henry in
the Smithsonian grounds, which cost a
small fortune, that of Admiral Dupont,
opposite Blaine's, which represents a
large enough sum to pay several times
Congressman's salary, and the beautiful
bronze statue of Martin Luther in front
of the Lutheran Memorial church, which
cost but $1,000, and is as fine piece of
statuary as you will find this side of the
water Carp, IN CLereland Leader.

again. If the person is too modest or
gallant to get the lace in that way let
him catch a toad, kill it and wear it
around his neck in bag until the
stencil sickens him. His nose will never
bleed again. If person has cramps in
the legs or feet at night, he has but to
place his stockings in shape of a cross
on the floor in front of his bed when he
retires, or lay his slippers under the bed,
soles upward. Placing the shoes under
the coverlid at the foot of the bed so
that the toes of the shoes prOtrude is
also a sure preventive of cramps. No
one who wears a snakeskin around his
head need ever have headache. If one
feels a sty coming on his eye let him take
a hair from the tail of a. black cat, rub
the eye with it nine times before mid
night on the first night of the new moon,
and the sty will die. A ringworm may
be dispersed by simply holding between
the thumb. and fingers a pinch of hazel
ashes before breakfast for three days and
saying:
"Ringworm, ringworm redl
Never mayest thou speed or spread
But aye grow less and less
And die among the ash"
These and many more strange super
stitions are part of the faith of the simple,
honest and thrifty farmers of English
Settlement.

HEALTH HINTS.

Grapes are an easy and pleasant cure
for dyspepsia.
For nose bleed, get plenty of powdered
alum up into the nostrils.
A simple remedy for neuralgia is to
apply grated horseradish, prepared the
same as for table use, to the temple when
the face or head is affected, or to the
wrist when the pain is in the arm or
shoulder.
The French method of administering
castor oil to children is to pour the oil
into pan over moderate fire, break an
egg into it and stir up. When it is done
flavor with little salt or sugar or cur
rant jelly.
Scrape fine small piece of fresh, juicy
tender, raw beef. Season highly with
salt and pepper. Spread it on thin
slices of bread, put them together like a
sandwich, and cut iuto small squares OF
diamonds. This will often tempt q
patient who could not otherwise take raw
meat. The sandwiches are sometime;
made more palatable by toasting them
slightly,

The Shamrock.

II is related that when st. Patrick
landed in Ireland in the fifth century,
having overcome the hostility of the
savage islanders, he proceeded to in.
struct them in the doctrines of Chris
tianity. But in vain did he endeavor to
explain to them the doctrine of the trim
ity in unity. His untutored hearers
failed to comprehend his reasoning till,
plucking trefoil to serve as an illustra.
tion, he inquired of them, "Is it not as
possible for the Father, Son and Holy
Ghost as for these three leaves to grow
upon single stalkl" This argl-
ment, according to the legend, immedi.
ately convinced the Irish, who yielded
to st. Patrick's efforts for their CONVEX
sion. The shamrock was thenceforth
dedicated to the saint and became the
national cognizance. 1t is somewhat
unfortunate that this pretty story is not
to be found in any of the lives of the
great saints of ireland, but it is still
more unfortunate that it is again impos-
BILE to determine which is the true sham
rock. According to the best authorities
however, the honor is due to the Black
Nonsuch or Medicago, or to the Dutch
clover. Both these plants are worn on
St. Patrick's day, and are held 10 be the
| true shamrock. - Chambers Journal
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1885-11-13
Drinks for the Voice.

Tea, coffee and cocoa are three admis-
sible drinks, but none in excess. For
the voice cocoa is the most beneficial. 1t
should never be made too strong, and
those cocoas are the best that have been
deprived of their oil. A cup of thin
cocoa, just warm, is more to be recon-
mended between the exertions of singing
than any alcoholic beverage. Tea must
not be taken too strong nor when it has
drawn too long, for tea then becomes
acrid, and has a bad influence on the
mucous membrane that lines the throat.
There is always a dry sensation after
having taken cup of tea that has been
allowed to draw too long. A vocalist
had better do without sugar in tea and
only take milk with it, or, if an exhila-
rating drink Is needed,ymix some claret
wine with the tea, putting in slice of
lemon and some honey.
Coffee should never be taken too
strong and not too often. Two cups a
day is all that can be allowed; without
sugar is best. Very strong coffee heats
and makes the voice husky. In fact, no
drink should be taken too hot or too
strong; the voice wants an equable, mild
temperature, that will keep up constant
moisture and fexibility in the vocal or
gans.
These are of all classes and are now
universally taken, but | am sorry to say
that the chemical ingredients of the syr-
ups used with them are often very injur-
ious to the voice. Soda-w water is refresh
ing when pure, but when mixed with all
kinds of aromatic substances actually
dries the throat instead of moistening it.
Ginger ale, cider, and such manufactured
drinks are only serviceable to the vocal
ist when of the very best manufacture,
otherwise they are heating and drying
instead of cooling. So few fruit syrups
are now made of fruit that it is difficult
to know where to find them, and the art
tiicial syrups are really dangerous to the
voice.
Water is to be recommended when
pure, but not too much ice-water. In
any case, it must be filtered water, and
never too cold. A spoonful of pure
syrup or honey in glass of cold water
is better than aerated drinks. Water to
excess is also injurious to the voice.
Milk in excess is also injurious, while
glass of fresh milk in the morning is
most helpful to the voice. 1t not only
softens it, but nourishes it and purifes
the blood.

1t was tiny little bird
That sat upon a tree
And warbled from her throbbing throat
Her trilling minis strelsy.
A crouching creeping Thomas cat
Gazed at her from below,
But she sang on and paid no heed
Unto her cruel foe.
And nearer crept the Thomas cat,
And then he made SPRING
The hapless bird was in his mouthl
But ceased not yet to sing.
OH then chaste musics holy charm
Itself made felt ere long;
The cat released the singer, which
Still chanted its clear song
All, baffled catl All. happy birdl
All, music's wondrous powerl
The bird, though, was pretty toy,
Which, wound up, sang an hourl

Webster and Jenny Lind.

"Webster was very convivial man,
fond of pleasure and social amenities
On one occasion he was at supper, at
Browns hotel, and, the wine being good
he'imbihed great deal of it. Jenny
Lind was singing at the Canterbury
theatre, and at late hour Webster and
his party OF friends adjourned from the
hotel to the theatre. When they arrived
the curtain had just gone up for the last
act, and the cantatrice appeared on the
stage to sing Hail Columbia. Webster
joined in with his magnificent bass and
accompanied her through the song. The
audience yelled, stamped and shouted.
They began again, and again sang it
through with the same enthusiasm per.
vading the audience. The procedure
was repeated third a fourth, fifth
and sixth time, before they were per-
mitted to retire. At the close Webster
made magnificent bow to the diva,
such as would have made him a prince
had he made it at drawing g-room oil
Louis lie Grand; the singer returned it,
and Webster repeated it, aud these
courtesies continued until both had
bowed in the most elaborate manner
seven times. During the whole perform
ance Webster held his fine silk hat in
his hand and Mrs. Webster was tugging
at his coat, signaling him to dcsist.-t

An Astonishing Scene at Sea.

A singular scene was witnessed by
some sailors off the Irish coast few
days ago. The sea was calm and
many birds were seen moving about with
great rapidity, occasionally disappear
ing beneath the water and coming up
again half strangled. AS the vessel APP
preached it was seen that shoal of fish
several acres in extent was visible upon
the water. A bird would alight on the
back of a fish, spread its tail or wings
to catch the breeze, dig its claws deep
into the fnny monsters hide, and go be-
fore the wind with such speed as to soon
drown its victim The bird would then
devour the fish at its leisure. = -MancheS-
