Edinburgh, writes: know person who

FASHION IN REMEDIES.
A Remedial Agent Which the Physician
Ia CnmneIled to Acknowledges.

A Remedial Agent which the Physician
Is Compelled to Acknowledge.
Prof. Leyden, president OF the Berlin
Society of Medicine, has this to say regard
ing the value of fashion in remedies: "No
experienced physician will disregard the
influence of fashion On medicine and thera-
peutics; fashion constitutes, / aver, rem
edial agent which the physician has, in
some degree, to acknowledge. Patients
have more confidence in remedies which
are of the fashion of the day, and more
willingly submit to deprivations enforced
by treatment if this happens to be in
fashion 4. e., if number of well-known
leaders of society and of their personal ac-
quaintances have accepted it. This influ-
ence of fashion we have met with in a re-
markable manner in the different methods
of treatment of obesity. Twenty years
ago Banting's cure was in fashion, which,
if used with certain rational restrictions,
I still consider the best treatment. At that
time persons of the better classes, who
fancied or observed the slightest propen-
sity to become stouter, adopted Banting'
dietary. At present, for the same reason,
they barely dare to partake of soups, and
either limit to the utmost their drinks, or
entirely abstain from liquids, and consider
thirst far less severe penance than any
other kind of treatment. IN. 7. Post.

GRAND SIGHTS.
Picturesque and Impressive Scenes in the
Rocky Mountains.

Picturesque and Impressive Scenes In the
Rocky Mountains.
On descending the range into the
lovely San Luis Park. the most SOUTH
srn of the four great parks of Colorado
North, Middle, South and San Luis
we pass along the flank, almost, of Sierra
Blanca, the highest mountain in Colo
RADIO. which boasts forty different peaks
Of IA, 900 feet altitude and over. Blanca
exceeds them all, however, by few
feet. Pixies Peak is one of the forty,
but is over-topped by several beside
Blanca. The view of the last-named
mountain is much finer, however. from
the farther side of the park, which is
here about forty miles wide by seventy
five in length. In looking back at it
the eye takes in all of its grand proper
tons, and when its cap of perpetual
snow, which gives it the name of
'.White Mountain" is lighted by the
setting sun, it is indescribably glorious
in its varying tints of pearl and anne
thyst and pink, deepening into crimson
and purple as the shadows lengthen.
On the west side of the park we begin
climbing the Comejos range, making
Roadway slowly in our ascent for many
miles. as would seem from our zigzag
course. We look back from a slight
elevation at the route just traversed,
and it looks like whip-lash just after
| it has been cracked. Indeed, it is called
s'the whip-lash." A little farther on
we pass the same station-house three
times. once on lower level and twice
on a higher, circling around it from the
| FIRST to the second level.
On the way to Leadville, one passes
through the ''Grand Canyon" of the
Arkansas. which begins above Canyon
City and extends for distance of
twenty miles, if one count both the
canyon proper and the gorge beyond.
which is almost as narrow. For six or
seven miles the train seems to be sweep
| ing through rift in the surface of the
earth, very narrow. tortuous rift at
that, from which one looks up at the
ribbon of the blue sky above, between
bare and rugged rocks rising abruptly
| for distance of over two thousand
feet on either side, with less abrupt
luOuHboiu Walls UcyOuu, tOWcIiuS " q
height of three or four thousand feet.
A narrow shelf beside the rushing tor
rent, blasted for almost the entire dis
lance from the rocky walls, sometimes
forming corridor, as it were, with the
rocks overhanging, serves as road
bed. Men had to be let down by ropes
from above in many places to drill the
holes for the blasting powder, during
| the construction of the road, there
being no foothold at all and no possible
way OF descending. Where no human
being had ever trod few years back,
the adventurous railroad now bears its
hundreds daily. In one spot the wall
is so PERCEPTIONS that the whole noun
tain side would have had to be blasted
away in order to make passage. Here
instead longitudinal iron bridge is
| swung from iron trusses anchored in
| the rocks above on either side of the
stream. 1t is difficult to imagine a
person so stolid that his heart would
not be stirred with awe in traversing
this mighty chasm. - Cor. Rochester

Always Remained Clean.

Some visitors were down in a coal mine.
On the side of the gangway grew plant.
It was perfectly white. They were aston
ished that, amid the coal-dust, this little
plant should be so pure and white. A
miner who was with them took handful
of black dust and threw it upon the plant,
but not particle adhered. Every atom OF
dust rolled off. The visitors repeated the
experiment, but the coal-dust would not
cling. If God can SO form that little plant
that no dust can cling 20 it, can He not also
transform our hearts by His grace, that nc
sin can cling to them! Ii He can keep that
herb in the coal mine pure and white, can
He not keep my heart as white as snows-

CATTLE RAISING.

Safe Occupation When Conducted cn
Business Principles.
A young farmer who has not yet
tried any of the improved farm animals
wants the journal to answer as to the
propriety and safety of taking up the
breeding of either of the beef breeds
during a period of depression. We
presume he refers to the difference IN
the prices of high-bred cattle. conpar
ing the prices now with those Of ten
years ago. 1t is not the correct thing
to do, to Judge of q business when
prices are inflated, as they were q few
years since. Success does not come to
men through an inflated condition Of
things, except, perhaps, to one now
and then through mere chance. as y

COTTAGE DECORATION.

How Broken Crockery and China-Ware
Can He Utilized to Advantage.
There is not cottage or any other
dwelling in which mosaic floors might
not be laid, or in which some of the
walls could not be set to advantage
with such work. 1t is not only orna-
mental, but it is easily washed, and
therefore conducive to cleanliness and
health. A very large proportion OF
wall paper is pasted directly over an
old paper, and even when it is torn
away too much generally remains.
have learned by inquiry of several in
stances in which persons have been
either directly poisoned by the pigments
employed in coloring such paper, or in
which malaria and death were induced
by one coat decaying over another in a
damp room. Nothing of the kind can,
however. take place when walls are
covered with mosaic or tiles, or are
stenciled. Mosaic work can be execu-
ted wherever stone, Portland cement
and broken crockery can be obtained.
1t is to be observed that broken fictile
ware has several very great advantages
over any other material. In the first
place it costs nothing and may be
found in every rubbish heap, as well as
more is the pity-in most kitchens
1t is more easily broken into pieces of
any requisite size than stone, or even
ceramic cubes. 1t has strong glaze,
and generally wears as we'll as the very
expensive material of baked clay sold
for such work. And finally, it is in an
| infinite number of shades and tones. so
| that for really varied picture making il
offers the greatest inducement to the
artist. For crockery or china ranges
| from Sevres to the rudest terra Gotta,
| from saucers like pearl and marble to
slag-glass which can not be dis
tinguished from agate. There is abso-
| lutely no material for decorative art
work of any kind which offers such A
vast variety of hues and shades and
materials as crockery mosaic. / may
add to this that very curious and
| beautiful variety Of mosaic work for
walls may be made by setting broken
glass, and especially glass or china
beads, in cement.
The glittering points which they pre-
sent catch the light and render the
work very effective. Ihaye heard this,
| Ms well as crockery mosaic, objected to
as .'trashy," and so it is when the
artist who makes it is not capable oil
making anything but trash. But one
who possesses skill or genius does not
depend on mere material. have seen
such mosaic which was so far from
being trashy that it was truly beauti-
full. And venture to predict that we
are not far from the time when all
! the broken crockery or chinaware
will be utilized. It is certain in
the interest of all housekeepers to en-.
courage an art which will recoup them
for their losses by breakage. once

the breakage for single month

-..Among the funny feminine fash
ions of the season is that of the little
bonnet which one so often sees
strangely contrasted against an enor-
nous editice of hat says the Boston
Beacon. ''This peculiar creation, with
its two concave segments descending
over the posterior lobes of the brain,
and its apex rising pointedly upward,
may be ravishingly delightful to the
female mind and may, from certain
points of view, seem not unbecoming;
but to the ordinary masculine eye it
looks as if the wearer's head were
firmly held in the clutch of vast and
vehement, even though wildly ornate,
clan-shell.
The use of the Suez Canal in
moving the tea crop from China to
America is rapidly being abandoned
for the swifter means afforded by our
trans-continental railways. In 1884 the
bulk of the shipments were via the
Suez Canal. In 1885 the shipments by
that route to America were but 1854
1917 pounds, while San Francisco re-
ceived II, 1876, 1877 pounds. This year
the imports by way of San Francisco
have reached 20,525, $50 pounds, while
those via the Suez Canal have fallen of
to 7,592.049 pounds. From Yokohama
to New York by the canal takes sixty
days, by San Francisco forty-nine days.
Insurance and freight charges are
diminished, and the tea, being fresher,
is said to be better when brought by
the latter route.
