Buttermflk as Medicine.

With the rapid growth of recon-
structIve medicine. comes opportunely
the fe-lntrOduction of old and we'll
known domestic remedies, among
which buttermilk demands a respecta-
BILE place, says the Popular Science
Neo0s A young lady patient of the
writer was suffering from Il severe con-
sumptive cough None of the usual
antispasmodics, expectorants, ETC.,
seemed to do any good, simply because
| her stomach was too weak to bear
enough medicine to effect the purpose.
Finally l suggested to her mother the
use of hot buttermilk. 1t was adopted
at once. Her first nights experience
was one of comparative freedom from
cough and pain. and pleasant siumber
for several hours. 1t was continued
for long time. with an unvarying re-
lief of all her previous distressing
symptoms, and an almost perfect free
dom from cough for several hours after
each draught of hot buttermilk.
Lingering at one time for weeks from
an attack of congestive fever, dosed
with calomel and quinine almost be-
yond endurance, the writer began to
desire buttermilk to drink. The ply
sician ''didn't believe in humoring the
whims of patient" as he expressed it;
besides, he contended that single
drink of the obnoxious fluid might pro-
duce death, as acids and calomel were
incompatible dwellers in the same
stomach But was a good persuader,
and my mother was a susceptible sub
ject. The buttermilk, ''fresh from the
churn," was procured and drank. No
evil resulted; instead came perspira-
ton and a speedy recovery.
Many years afterward | had missed
my usual noon meal. 1t was about 2
or 3 O'Clock p. m.-dinner, of course,
was over-When | reached farm
house, weak, tired, hungry, and "all
out of condition" for active work.
Dinner was suggested by the house
wife. ''No, indeed!" said I, "not this
time; [ am nearly home. But if you
have any buttermilk l Twill take drink
of that to stay my stomach" A good,
kind-hearted woman, she soon brought
up pitcher of buttermilk from the
cool spring-house, while 1 examined
my patients and prescribed for them.
Perhaps pint was drank during the
stay of nearly an hour. For months
indigestion had held his unfriendly
grasp on my stomach. From that not
able day forward his reign was broken,
my stomach was healed, and 1 could
ride all day, if necessary, without feel
ing SO woe-begone from the lack Of
food as before the drinking of the but
termilk.
There are people, however, who can
not use buttermilk at all, and some
who cannot use milk of any kind, nor
butter; but to others it proves both
food and medicine.

Asphalt Lake of Trinidad.

Asphalt is a substance as familiar
now as are its related substances, coal
and petroleum. 1t is used in great
quantities for paving streets and roof
ing houses. A large part of the
supply is brought from the lake of La
Brea in the island of Trinidad. This
lake is said to have been discovered
in 1895 by Sir Walter Raleigh, who
employed the pitch found there in calk-
ing his ships.
This wonderful bituminous sheet
has an area of nearly one hundred
acres, between elevations close to the
hilltop. 1t is a broad surface of pitch,
scanned with small channels of water.
The pitch is dug from the hardened
top, and the quantity taken away is con-
stantly replenished by the soft asphalt
oozing up from below, which becomes
hardened by the evaporations of its
constituent oil in the sun. Night sup
plies the exhaustion Of day.
The method of skimming the great
bowl may be illustrated by comparing g
it to a pond from which blocks of ice
have been cut and the water solidifed
again by the action of frost, the differ
ence being that heat is the agent in
one case and cold in the other Youths

He Raises Assessed Valuation and Rates
to Secure Plumber.
The examination of John Roupe, ex-
marshal of the village of Cedar Springs,
was concluded before Justice Weslfall
yesterday. The examination was COM
menced last February and has been
adjourned repeatedly. He was held to
appear at the present term of the Cir
cult court for trial in the sum Of $500.
The complaint charges Roupe with
some very crooked work in his official
proceedings while collecting the village
tax assessments. The tax roll was pre-.
pared and placed in his hands for COL
lection. 1t was afterwards learned
that the assessment roll had been tam
pered with. The assessed valuation of
property had been raised, and the tax
levied upon the same had been changed
accordingly. Property valued at $50
appeared on the collectors book as
$3.50; and other similar changes had
been made. A tax assessment of so
cents had grown TO $3.50, and about
forty other instances appeared of Of
fetal misconduct. He was held for
trial on the charge of forgery.
