Log Cabin Grandmothers.

An Indiana doctor has recently discovered
IN common weed whose medicinal qualities
have never before been suspected, valu-
able remedy for bowel disorders.
There is nothing particularly strange
about this fact.
Nothing.
And yet the very simplicity of the new
discovery would, with some, seem to throw
just doubt upon its power. To make it one
has only to pour hot water over the leaves
of the plant In its preparation no vast
chemical works and appliances are re-
CURED
Is it to be wondered at since such plainly
prepared remedies are accounted as Of such
great merit in these days, that such
wonderful results attended our grand
mothers, whose teas and infusions of roots
and herbs and balsams, have exerted so
great an influence in the maintenance of
health and life!
Certainly not!
The greatest pieces Of machinery strike
US most by their exceeding simplicity.
The secret of the success of grand
mothers remedies was their freshness and
simplicity. Every autumn found the little
Log Cabin abundantly supplied with fresh
leaves, roots, herbs and balsams, which
were carefully dried and prepared and laid
away for use. Dreadrng to call doctor be-
cause Of the expensiyeness Of his far-made
trips, they Immediately gave attention to
the disease and routed 1T before it had
gained foothold.
The old Log Cabin grandmother, in cap
and high tucked gown, and perchance be-
specialized in rough silver, her weary feet
encased in "hum made' slips, is the dear
sweet nurse who rises to the view Of many
a man and woman to-day as the early years
of life pass in retrospect.
The secrets of grandmother's medicines
were rapidly being forgotten and the world
was not growing in the grace Of good
health. To restore the lost art Of log cabin
healing has been for years the desire Of a
well-known philanthropist in whose ances-
trail line were eight ''goodly physicians" of
the old style, men who never saw q medical
college save in the woods, nor medical
diploma" except that inscribed on the faces
Of healthy and long lived patients. Much
time and money was expended in securing
the old formulas, which to-day are put forth
as "Log Cabin remedies'-sarsaparilla hops
and buchu, cough and consumption, and
several others, by Warner, whose name is
famous and a standard for medical excel
lence all over the globe. These Oldest new
est and best preparations have been recog-
nized as of such superexcellence that to-day
they can be found with all leading dealers.
When Col Ethan Allen was making his
tory along our northern frontier during the
revolution, Col Seth Warner, the fighting
Sheridan of that army, who was skillful
natural doctor, used many such remedies,
notably like the Log Cabin extract, sarsa-
pariIla and cough and consumption remedy,
among the soldiers with famous success.
They are noble inheritance which we of
to-day may enjoy to the full, as did our fore
fathers, and using, reap, as did they, the
harvest of life full of days and full of use
fulness.

French Incnme TaN.

PARIS, Oct. 23.-The Cabinet has APP
proved the scheme of NJ. Peytral, Minister
of Finance, TO impose tax of one per
cent. upon incomes and of one-half per
cent. on labor returns. Incomes of less
than 700 francs are to be exempt from
taxation. Resident foreigners are to be
liable for the whole of their incomes, and
temporary residents for the portion of
their incomes spent or collected in France.
The press generally opposes the scheme.

An Organ of Paper.

A very original musical instrument has
recently been constructed at Milan-an or
gan whose pipes, instead of being Of metal,
are of paper pulp. Its history is quite GU
rious Father Giovanni Crispi Rigghizo,
having learned that the parish DELI 1ncora-
nata, at Milan, was destitute of music for the
offices, conceived the idea Of devising a
cheap material that would permit of con-
structing organs under such conditions that
the most unpretending communities could
purchase one of these instruments. This
monk, who had passed his life in poverty,
was confronted by a lack of money, and,
Notwithstanding his efforts to carry out his
undertaking. was beginning to despair of
success, when he had the fortune to meet an
artisan, Luigi Columbo, who understood the
construction of the instrument, and was
good enough to aid him in carrying out his
design.
They both went resolutely to work, and,
finally, in June, 1856, finished the instru-
ment in question. Unfortunately, by reason
of lack of funds, they could not exceed
twenty-five registers, forty-four pedals and
400 pipes. The final result, however, is ex-
tremely interesting, since it is generally
agreed that the instrument possesses great
power, and sweetness of tone not found in
organs hitherto constructed.-La Science en-

Of each varying the directions For in

Another ancient and pastoral implement,

Each yardman carries a sort of shepherds
crook, by which he lifts the chain coupling.
It is stated on good authority that since this

that not a single man has been injured in
coupling cars. This can be readily under
