Celery's Medicinal Qualities.

New discoyeres-or what claim to be
discoveries-of the healing virtues of
plants are continually being made. One
of the latest is that celery is a cure for
rheumatism; indeed it is asserted that
the disease is impossible if the vegetable
be cooked and freely eaten. The fact
that it is always put on the table raw
prevents its therapeutic powers from
being known. The celery should be cut
into bits, boiled in water until soft, and
the water drunk by the patient. Put
meg, into a saucepan with the boiled
celery, serve it warm with pieces of
toast, eat it with potatoes, and the pain.

declaration of physician who has again
and again tried the experiment, and with
uniform success He adds that cold OF

the disease, Of which acid blood is the

Origin Of Two Inventions.

Several years ago member Of firm
of glass manufacturers was travelling
through the West. While on a railway
which skirts the shores of great inland
lake, he observed that the plate glass
in the windows of the Pullman car was
marked with mysterious figures, unde-
fined in shape, but of a singularly airy
and delicate lightness. On inquiry, he
learned that the marks were made by the
sand, which was blown aga nst the
windows from the beach as the cars
passed. Upon returning home, he be-
gan a series of experiments in directing
a shower of fine sand against the surface
of glass in definite shapes. The result
was the discovery of the sand blast, by
which the most delicate figures are out
lined upon glass with exquisite lightness
and accuracy.
The discovery of process of engrav
ing was due to similar keenness of SIGHT,
and readiness in using a hint. Prince
Rupert quick witted, scientific man,
who lived in an unscientifc age. once
stopped at forge to have his horse shod,
and laid his guE upon a damp bench
while he waited until the blacksmith
should have finished his work. When
he took up the gun he observed that
piece of white paper on the bench bore
in fine dotted lines the name of the
maker which he cut on the metal Out
of this hint, he evolved the process of
etching on copper known as MezZotint.
