THERE never was a remedy made with
more care than Or. John Bulls Sarsaparilla.
Each one of the several herbs and roots
used is closely examined, and all foreign
substances excluded, before their various
virtues are extracted. The remedy is not
largely advertised, but people who use it
will talk about it and praise it, and it adver-
tises itself. 1t will cure o of blood dis

watery compounds fail.

Grandma's Care for Dandruff.

I'VE often scott at the ancient grand
mother remedies" said an up town ply
sician the other day in conversation with
q patient, "but our f~orefathers used to
get a power Of comfort from them, never
theless, and cheaply too. Science has
progressed wonderfully, of course, and
we are much better off on the whole now
than were our sires, but we forget a
great many Of the little things. Now |
notice that you are troubled with dan
druff, and III wager that you have spent
many dollars on different alleged cures,
and you are worse off now than when
you commenced. Let me give you a
grandmother prescription that never
fails. Go to a drug store and buy five
cents worth of salts Of tartar. Dissolve
half of it in warm water and wash the
head thoroughly. Repeat this at inter
walls of three months for a year, and you
won't be annoyed with dandruff any
more."-New York Recorder.

The Earliest ChiId's Book.

AS might be supposed, the earliest book
that is assigned to the child is the Latin
grammar. Boys Latin grammar for
several centuries were mere text books
compiled from the larger works Of DOna-
tus and Priscian, and they were COM
monty known by the name Of Donates
or Donets, a term which occurs in Piers
''Plowman." The word grammar, on
the contrary, was used more in conjunc-
ton with Latin studies generally, and
science, as well as even magical power,
WIS sometimes spoken Of as grammarye.
Z very commonly used school book in
npnasteries seems to have been the
"C0nsolation Of Philosophy" Gin the orig
iH;.l, of cOurse), by Boethius, of which at
Last a fragment would most probably
lie found even in the most meager con
vent library"
The earliest book in existence written
expressly for boys is here stated to be

Of the Seventh century. y great part
Of it consists of dialogues between teach
