Coloring Matter in Plants.

The great variety of colors and
dyes obtained from common plants,
growing so ahu ndantly almost every.
where, is apparently known to bus few
persons except chemists. The well.
known huckleberry or hlueberry, when
boiled down, with an addation of little
alum and ISOLATION of oopperas, Will
develop an excellent blue color; the
same treatment, with a solution of NAT
gals, produces a clean dark brown
tint while with alum, verdigris, and
sal ammoniac various shades of purple
and red can be obtained. Ike fruit of
the elder, so freq emily used for col
oring spirits, will also produce hlue
color when treated with alum. The
privet. boiled in a solution of salt, fur
nishes a serviceable color. and the over
ripe berries yield scarlet red The
seeds of the mmon burning bush
anonymous" when treated with sal
ammoniac. produce beautiful purple
red The bark of the currant bush,
treated with solution of alum, pro-
duces a brown. Yellow is obtainable
from the bark of the apple tree, the
box. the ash, the buckthorn. the pop
lar, elm ETC., when boiled in water and
treated with alum. A lively green is
furnished by the broom corn.-N y

AN OLD GRAVEYARD.
Probably the Oldest Cemetery in All North
America.

Probably the Oldest Cemetery in All North
America.
Directly opposite St. Luke's Church
and adjoining the historic garrison
grounds in this town is situated the
oldest graveyard in America, or at all
events in North America. In the year
1905 Annapolis Royal was first settled,
and as six deaths occurred among the
settlers that winter, we take it fol
granted the graveyard must have been
opened in that year-2sO years ago.
The first burial that we read about was
of the body of q Micmac Indian chief,
who was converted to Christianity. Be-
ore his death he requested that his body
be buried with his forefathers, but the
priest, thinking that if the body was not
buried in the Christian burial ground
the Indians might be led to doubt the
reality of his conversion, and that thi;
idea would prove an obstacle to their
own, disregarded the braves last wish
and had the hodv inferred in the Chris
ii n burial ground. This occurred in
1911. The heart of M. de Brouillan was
buried in this graveyard. Murdock' s
history of Nova Scotia tells us tha,
Brouillan died at sea, near Halifax Con
his return from France to Port oval,
September, 1705) and his body was
buried at sea- The graveyard served
for all the country In the vicinity OF An
napolis, and thousands mus have been
buried in it. 1t contains about an acre
of ground, but at one time it covered q
much larger space.--4nnapotts (N. 5.

Cause for Rejoicing.

CINcINNATI.-The Times Star says: s A
remarkable discovery made last winter is
attracting widespread interest. As it in
wolves a most important question-that of
public health-it is being discussed by emf
nent physicians and public men. 1t is
shown ooonclusively that throat and lung
troubles can be cured without resorting to
the use of morpnia or opium-especially
dangerous in the case of children as ar
resting development, and poisoning the
system. The Governor of Maryland and
all the officials of that State endorse the
remedy; the State chemist of Delaware
pronounces it the purest and most effect
i've, and hospitals and charitable institu-
hons in Philadelphia and other cities use
IT with remarkable results. The remedy,
which is only twenty five cents bottle, is
Red Star Cough Cure. 1t is purely vege-
table; it contains no poison or narcotics,
and is positive cure.

A New Cholera Cure.

Dr. Chapmas. an English physician
who has practiced for nelmber OF
years in Paris, hut was formerl in In
dia. where he had cholera to treat, has
just published book entitled Cholera
Curable." He is She man who some
time age recommended tie use of ice-
bags for seasicknesS, and has more re-
Gently tried the same method with chol-
era. He used lit in ten cases. with a
result of ten cures. The ice-bag is q
triple rubber bag, about twenty to
twenty-four inches in length and about
four inches wide. Each part is filed
with inc pieces of ice. and it is applied
to the back along the spinal column.
Its application should be constant. SO
the ice must be changed from time to
time. The vomiting was stopped by
its use almost at once, while there was
a great diminution in the csamp. The
patients warmed up, the pulse came
back. and all the symptoms gradually
disa aopeared.--N 7. Post.

| The Remarkable Good Nature of n Philo-
sophie Detroit Youth.
For some years past the driver of
| a milk wagon with Il route in the east
| ern part of the city has been engaged
to girl living at home on Sixteenth
street. The marriage day has been set
two or three times, but something has
| occurred to prevent a fulfillment. The
girl probably got discouraged, and the
first thing the milk man knew he heard
a report that she was to be married.
He traced this report to an authentic
| source, and further learned that she
was to step off last night. Such treach-
cry filed his soul with frenzy, and he
armed himself with revolver as long
as his arm aud put in an appearance
at the house just as the invited guests
began to assemble. The object of his
wrathy affections met HIM 10 the cool
est manner, saving:
"Well. it isn't my fault. Iwaited for
you three years"
.'But why didn you send me word
that you were going to be married?''
''Oh, hadn't time. You have no
idea how busy have been.''
'"But this must be stopped--it shall
be stoppedn'
please don't-my head aches" said
the girl.
Il tell you Pl XIII somebody" he
shouted.
'Well, wait till after supper-come,
don't be so noisy
Her father came into the room Just
then and took the revolver away from
the young man, and then threatened to
thrash him if he didn't shake hands
with the groom. Wken he had done
this he had to stand by and see his Girl
married. and afterward to eat supper
with the others The more beer he
swallowed the more of philosopher he
became. In going honae he was picked
up by an officer. and in court Yesterday
morning he said to the Judge:
81 kissed the bride, shook hands with
the bridegroom and lent "em my horse
to 90 on a bridal tour. If that don't
show that I'm a good nlan you may
send me up for year. ."-Detron Free

A Great Artists Mistake.

In the central square of the Capitol
at Rome, surrounded on three sides by
buildings, stands very large bronze
statue of Marcus Aureius, once En-
peror of Rome, mounted on spirited
horse. This is the only equestrian
statue which has been preserved in q
perfect condition out of the many thai
decorated ancient Rome. Michael An
gelo, who designed the buildings which
at present stand on this hill, was very
fond of this statue, and especially ad.
mired the horse. One day, while be
was studying it, he forgot that it was
not alive, and wishing to see it in an.
other position, he cried out: *'Cam''
which means. go on. After looking at this
horse for some time, one might easily
imagine that shout or touch of a
whip would make it jump.-F'ra,ab r..

Rochefort as Dry-Nurse.

Rochefort was the dry-nurse of his
three children. and brought up the
eldest with sucking bottle OF his own

December holly and pine branches

pass, suspending them from standard

Leave a space to tie cards to, giving the
days of the month. A small gilt hook
fastened on the bark to suspend the
cards painted with the numbers of the
days will be convenient. BY this means
your gift will be a perpetual calendar,
needing only new. cards for each sue

abound in verse and add greatly to the
interest of calendar. If this is too
much trouble. use four sheets and give
spring, summer, autumn and winter.
The designs should be typical. as fruit
