SIMPLE REMEDIES.

Scientific Ane-ican
One of the best and simplest remedies
for torpid liver or biliousness is glass Of
hot water with the juice Of half lemon
squeezed in it, but no sugar, night and
morning. 4 person to whom this was
recommended tried il, and found him
self better almost Immediately. His daily
headaches. which medicine had failed to
cure. left him: his appetite improved, and
he gained several pounds within few
weeks. This is SO simple remedy that
any person thus afflicted VIII do well 70
give it IA trial, as it cannot possibly do
any harm.
Among the almost numbarless meth
eds of removing particles from the eve,
the following is recommended as an eff
cient means: Make a loop Dy doubling a
horse hair Raise the lid of the eye in
which is the foreign particle: slip the
loop over it, and placing the lid in con-
taot with the eyeball. withdraw the loop,
and the particle will be drawn out with

WIND AND WATER.

Tne great oPerrUling superstitions OF
China are, the fear OF the dead, and the
belief in Feng- Shut. The latter word
means literally ''wind and water" and
seems to typify both the good and baneful
influences of physical phenomena. 1t is
the existence Of these two superstitions
which really forms the barrier to progress
in China, because they interfere with
5he reception of FOREIGN IDEAS and the
development of industrial projects in
mining, railway making, etc. Feng-
Shui is defined, as "the path of the Great
Dragon, who rushes through the air just
above the houses, spouting blessings
in showers from his nos!rils. He
flies straight forward, unless by evil
chance he should strike against some
high building. in which case he turns at
an angle, and SO the houses beyond
lose their share of his blessing. Hence
the Jealous care Of the Chinese house
builders lest anyone should build u
house higher than his neighbor, and the
uniformity Of domestic archi-
lecture"

ORIGIN OF THE SANDWICH.

Hotel Norld.
Of the millions Of travellers who have
partaken of the luscious sandwich as
they Travelled through life and dined at
the gorgeous railway lunch counter, few
probably know where this hunger r-anni-
hilating Wand got its unique name. 1t
was not from the islands in the Pacific
Ocean, as some suppose, nor from the
sand "Wich " is found IN some of them.
The sandwich is the invention Of Lord
Sandwich, an English aristocrat, who was
such an inyeterate gambler that he would
nat Inava tho coming table, and had the
walters place slices of meat between
slices Of bread, which he devolwed dur
ing the progress Of The games.
THE PRESENT SYSTEM \ FRAUD.
Van Vert Bulletin.
Mich discussion is going on just now
throughout the State in relation to our
defective road laws. The Legislature
should devise a new law by which al
road tax shall be paid into the treasury
and then be expended by a competent
ovarseer, who shall be paid to devote his
entire time to a certain territory. making
roads at the proper time in the year and
expending the money Just where it
should be applied. The present system
is fraud upon the public. and the risk
of making it worse b. a change is not
great.

Tho difficulties in the way have been the
crossing of the rivers Tejend, Murghab and

bridging these streams arc the same as those
encountered in the Missouri-the shifting
sands and liability to flood. To combat this
popularity the Russians planted shrub
called "Saxaul," which takes root in the
sand and at last forms a barrier and permits
the carrying off the flood water through
numerous conduits. Tho bridge across the
