The proposal to colonize 10000 Russian
Jews in Argentine Republic, there to make
their livelihood by tilhng the soil, perhaps
furnishes a feasible plan of escape from
Russian persecution. but whether the Jews
would make success as farmers Is doubtful.

Syrup

Here is an incident from the South
Mississippi, written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. II am a farmer, one of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning of last
Winter / was on a trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss. where got we'll
drenched in a shower of rain. I
went home and was soon after seized
with a dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief. consulted DR.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to get bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and I caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. I
got two bottles of German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much Of the second bottle, was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me so long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. Ifelt tip-top and
have felt that way ever since"

Go Slow In Using Perfumes.

The sachet powders that are in the
market were never as fine as now.
Well-regulated ladies make up dozens
of silken bags, in all sizes and shapes.
Some tiny ones for dresses, some for
bureau drawers, some for trunks,
other ones for closets and wardrobes.
One of the most delicately exquisite
odors is derived from heliotrope
powder and "pure grain" musk. OF
course the musk must be used very
sparingly. About the right proper
tion is SO cents worth of heliotrope to
the same of musk. Pure grain musk,
however, is very expensive, and the
quantity purchased for that amount
is gagged by quality. Some of the
finest French soaps are MS delicate in
their perfume as the sachet bags, and
retain their strength much longer.
By taking the outside wrapping pa-
pers off and leaving on the tissue ones,
to absorb the oil that might otherwise
spot delicate fabrics, and scattering
the cakes around among the clothing,
q clean, "aristocratic" odor is OBJ
tanned that is more delightful than any
perfume known to merchants who
saturate the air with runs, "-Chi-

Could We Talk Without a
Tongue?

The case of Margaret Cutting, OF
Wickham Market, Suffolk, is an an
swer in the affirmative, but perhaps
the fact that she belonged to the
talkative sex may account in some
measure for Der good conversational
powers.
When four years of age cancer APP
peared on the upper part of her ton
que and gradually ate its way to the
root OF that organ, SO that one day
when the doctor who was attending
her was injecting some medicine into
her mouth the tongue fell out. AL
most Immediately to the sur
prise of all around her, she said to
her mother, Don't be frightened,
mamma twill grow again"
A skilled anatomist examined her
some years afterward, but could not
find the least appearance Of any ton
que remaining; but there was fleshy
excrescence under the left jaw, which
extended almost to the place where
the uyula should have besn, and
which was about half an inch broad.
This, however, did not appear until
some years after the loss of the ton
que, and was not movable.-Iondon

He didn't seem familiar with the
place, and without taking into COR
sideration the symptoms of spirits
about him, he was evidently a stran-
ger to the District Of Columbia. There
were several young men who were in

directed one remark after another at
the victim OF conviviality, and finally
one OF them said:
"pll bet q dollar he doesn't know

What q curious sensation that is
which troubles man upon such q
mission. Why does the elegantly
arranged sentence, studied with SO
much care, in order alike to avoid
formality and familiarity, begin to
seem bald, and bold, and bungling,
just Us it is about to be wanted?
Why is it finally revised upon the
coarse mat in the hall, and utterly re-
jected upon the silky mat in the land
ing? Why do you feel choking, as
with thirst, and yet could not drink
the elixir OF life if it were presented to
you? Why would you pay hundred
guineas step to have the staircase
twice as long as it is, and yet you 60
up as hastily as il you were escaping
from apoor relation? Why does that
pleasing bow, with which you have so
often stopped to conquer-you know
it-seem to you at once great deal
too low, and great deal too slight,
and altogether abominable? Why
do your wish you had put on
that other cravat? In short, why is
your sense so keenly awakened to the
outward man, and to the outside
phrase, and why do you forget that
you have hitherto looked like gen.
tleman and spoken like philosopher,
and generally done your duty in that
state of life in which it has pleased
Providence to place you, and that
there is no particular reason why, at
one o'clock this fine day, you should
make @ failure? 1t is a satisfactory
answer to say that all this is because
there sits in the low chair near the
window, in that drawing-room, q
bright-eyed young person OF the other
sex, who, if you could only see it, can
hardly hold her crotchet work for her
tremour; who knows intensely well
what you mean and what you are
come for, and who designs to make
you the kindest possible answer, poor
thingl if she should be able to find
proper words, and who, in the mean
time, is in about as fit a condition to
criticise you as / am to correct the
Jupiter Symphony or the Nautical

The Threats Brain.

"Did you ever know" said q we'll
known specialist, as he deity inserted
a looking-glass into the roof OF the
sufferers mouth, "that the throat
has brain of it's own? No? suppose
few Of the laity do know it, but it's
fact. There is small ganglia which
exercises direct control over the
muscles of the throat and acts as it's
brain. OF course, it is subservient to
the genuine brain, but at the same
time does good deal of indie
pendent thinking for itself. It is very
timid and suspicious of any strange
objects that come near the throat.
For this reason it is very difficult for
q physician to operate on the throat.
Before anything can be done in this
direction j. is necessary for the opera
tor to gain the con 6dence of the little
brain that dominates it. 1t frequent
ly takes weeks before this confidence
can be secured, and until it is secured
it is impossible to operate. When the
little brain is finally made to under
stand that no harm is intended, but
that the physician is actuated by
friendly motives. 1t will submit to
almost any treatment, however pain
full.
But woe be to the man who attempts
rough treatment to the throat before
gaining the little brains confidence,
and in spite OF its protests. His
operations will beresented with violent
paroxysms, first of the throat, then of
the diaphragm, and, if the operator
still persists, tho patients will be
thrown into commissions. Still more
curious is the fact that this little
brain has memory, and ifoncef fright
ened in this way, it is almost impos-
sible to ever gain it's confidence, no
matter how gentle the operator may
be.
II don't know whether its distrust
would extend to other operators than
the one who frightened it or not. /
think l will try the experiment some
time of seeing whether it can remeher
faces"
