full to some at this season Of the year, II
not new to many: Spinach has direct
effect upon the kidneys. \ common
dandelion used as greens is excellent for
the same trouble. Asparagus purges the
blood. Celery acts admirably upon the
nervous system. and is q cure for rheu-
matism and neuralgia Tomatoes net
upon the liver. Beets and turnips are
excellent appetizers. Lettuce and Gu
cumbers are cooling in their effects upon
the system. Onions. garlic, leeks, olive
and shallots, all Of which are similar,
possess medicinal virtue of marked
charactcr.l stimulating the circulatory
system and the consequent increase in
the saliva and the gastric juice, promot-
ing digestion. Red onions are an excel
lent diuretic. and the white ones are rec
ounmeIElel to be eaten raw as remedy
for insomnia. 4 soup made from onions
is regarded by the French as an excel
lent restorative in debility of the diges
tive organs. New York Herald.

Bridgeport's I'll Fated Suicide Club.

The Suicide club, of Bridgeport, formed
five years ago in fun rather than in earn
est, has been reduced to only one mem
Der by remarkable faithfr rlness in carry
ing out the condition that one member of
the club year should commit suicide.
When the annual meeting was held In
January there were only two members to
attend it, the secretary and the president.
The former, Wendell Baum, committed
suicide few weeks ago in New York,
and now the president alone remains. 1t
was voted at this meeting by the secre-
tary that the president should make
away with himself during the year, and
by the president that the secretary do 80,
and, there being no better way to settle
it, it was mutually decided that the polls
be held open until a new member was
pledged and initiated.
A letter carrier named Mayby talked
seriously of becoming member, and the
president and secretary had great hopes
Of him until one morning it was learned
that he had committed suicide. He car
ried, however. a handsome silk umbrella
which he bequeathed to the secretary of
the club, Wendell Baum, and it was ac-
cepted. But the more Baum carried the
umbrella the more unhappy he became,
and when his friends tried to cheer him
up he said: "A cloud hangs over me;
am doomed" Finally he sold his prop
erty, turned the money over to his wife,
and. going TO New York. gave the UNI
brella into the charge of a friend, direct
Ing that it be sent to the president of the
club. He then cut his throat. Since
then the umbrella hes been tlncallei for,
and the president Of the Suicide club
will probably disband.-Springiield Re-

War Against the Swallowtall I'm Japan.

A newspaper and governmental cam
paign against dress suits is in progress in
Japan. Of late years the orthodox even
il.g dress of the men of the Caucasian
world had gained great popularity in the
high society of the Japanese empire. and
it had become customary TO write on all
invitation cards the word ''Enbizukucha-
kuyo," that is. Wear your dress suit.
Some of the old fashioned japanese who
were in the swim long before the customs
of Caucasian society penetrated to the
interior. began short time ago to object
to this sort of thing. The Choya, a
Japanese periodical, took up their cause
1t argued at considerable length that the
Japanese figure was too dumpy and the
Japanese legs too short to look well un-
der swallowtails. These arguments seem
to have had great weight with the gov
ernment, for it has decided to recall the
order requiring all persons present at the
opening of the parliament next summer
to wear dre.s suits

After Nearly Thirty Years,

The Georgia papers are fertile in won
derful stories. One of the latest is to the
effect that early in 1861 a young farmer
Of Bullock erected house for himself
and bride. The kitchen was 10. one,
with one Of the old fashioned hard clay
floors. He had built over gopher hole,
and Of course the hole was filled up and
the owner was forgotten. The farmer
went off to the war. and when he came
back he found some charred timbers
which Sherman had left. The house was
rebuilt and the dirt floor was still q feat
urc. Last week the wife was sitting by
i window, and happening to look down
upon the kitchen floor was astonishcd
to see signs of disturbance underneath.
The other members Of the family were
called, and they witnessed his gophership
emerging from his long sleep Of twenty
nine years.

Improving Elison's PhouogIuph.

Gianni BettiIa. formerly a lieutenant
of the Italian army, has invented new
phono.raph which he claims is superior
to that Of Edison. Indeed. the new Bet
tina machine reflects the human voice
with surprising cletrness and perfect
sorority, and with such force of sound
that it can be plainly heard by ell the
bystandcrs without need Of placing the
trumpet to the ear. AS in the apparatus
of the phonosraph and the graphophone
Of Edison, the modulations Of the voice
are noted on the dial by the sonorous
disk by means of needle points, with the
difference that 4 quantity of needle
points. arranged to form rays, gather the
oscillations from various points of the
sonorous disk to common center,
whence to transmit them together to the
cylinder.
BY this means are attained fullness
Of sound, q clearness and a precision un-
til now obtained neither by the graphic
phone nor the plonograph. Bettina
maintains that by means of this appa-
ratus he can render 60 per cent. of the
body of sound communicated to it. At
the distance of one hundred feet it can
be heard clearly and distinctly. Bettina
has invented q composition much more
sensitive to the infections of the voice,
to be substituted for that of the wax
cylinder. New York Telegram.
