A Curious Fabric.


There is certain dress goods fabric
manufactured in France under the
name Of Plou, or American flannel,
which is said to be almost as inflam-
mable as gunpowder, and extremely
dangerous. It is made Of cotton, and
it's infammability is ascribed to the
chemicals with which it is prepared
a French writer says that recently
he was dining at the table of lady
who was clothed in this material. In
the act Of saturating an omelette with
rum, to which she set fire with a match,
drop of the burning liquid was spilled
on her dress, which in, an instant was
ablaze from top to bottom, as if it had
been made Of gvncotton. The lady had
the presence of mind to- throw herself
on the floor, thus putting out the fire
with the aid of those present, who
smothered the flames with covers, etc.
An examination of the dress after the
fire had been put out showed that its
aspect had changed but little, except
that the velvety sofmess peculiar to
the material was gone from every spot
that had been burned. The weft was
intact.

Opium a Benefactor.,
food is desired.


Still another, contribution to the
opium controversy is furnished by Ali
Dharamsi, a Mohammed solicitor of
Bombay, fellow of the university,
and a justice Of: the peace. In giving
bis experience to the use of opium, both
in Bombay and his native province,
Clutch, he declares that, as compared
with alcohol; it does not harm at all.
He states positively that the quantity
taken, does not increase with the habit
He found opium eaters of from fifty
to eighty years old looking robust and
healthy. He believed the habit to be
SO rooted that prohibition would pro-
duce smuggling, which, in the case of
a drug so small and SO desired, could
not be suppressed. He holds that it's
suppression, if it could be affected,
would be followed by an immense in
crease, in the use Of alcohol, which,
to all the dark races, is most deadly.
They cannot afford wine, and drink on
~ to be drunk. There is such an an
Gent and deep-rooted prejudice against
the use Of opium, in Western countries
that Mr., Dharamsi's arguments are not
likely to make much impressions upon
the opium fanatics: but there is every
reason to- believe that he knows what
he is. talking about, and his evidence
is, therefore, valuable; furthermore, it
is markedly confrmatory of some re-
cent testimony on the subject, the CO.
gency and weight Of which are beyond
question: '"' ~: -s:,...' :. y ,

Medicine In Vegetables.

The following information may be
useful. Spinach has a direct effect
upon the kidneys. The common dan
delion, used as green's, is excellent for
the same trouble. Asparagus purges
the blood. Celery acts admirably upon
the nervous system, and is a cure for
rheumatism and neuralgia. Tomatoes
act upon the liver. Beet and turnips
are excellent appetizers. Lettuce and
cucumbers are cooling in their effects
upon the system. Onions, garlic, leeks,,
olives and shallots, all Of which are
similar, possess medicinal virtue Of q
marked character, stimulating the cir
culatory system, and the consequent
increase in the saliva and the gastric
juice promote digestion. Red onions
are an excellent diuretic, and the white
ones are recommended to be eaten raw
as a remedy for insomnia. A soup made
from onions is regarded by the French
as an excellent restorative in weakness
of the digestive organs.

SLEEP is GOOD MEDlClNE

Liberal Indulgence Even Induces
Flesh, as Inventor Edison Proved.
There is nothing like sleep to store
up nervous energy and put flesh on the
bones, says the Philadelphia Press. In
an article published some years ago,
and generally ascribed to Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, it was recommended that
nervous women be put to bed and COM
peeled to stay there while they were
fattened with nutritious foods. lust as
a chicken is fattened for market. With
the requirement Of fat and the filling
up OF the reservoirs of nervous strength
the fidgety, emotional, whimsical
woman will get up from her bed an
other being. Thomas A. Edison, the
electrician, proved by his own case
how flesh can be acquired by sleep.
One week he slept fourteen hours a
day and the next week twenty-five
hours. The result was gain of seven
pounds in weight. A woman of only
moderate physical strength was asked
how she managed to attend to the large
business from which she gained sup
port, and the answer was that she OBJ
tanned it by sleeping ten hours six days
and spending the whole of the seventh
day in bed. There has been visible
advance in the health Of the American
people during the past twenty or thirty
years. Their stock Of vitality has in
creased and they live longer. And,
while there are other reasons for this
change, the chief one is that people
sleep longer and rest more. The hours
for work have gradually grown fewer
Factory operatives are no longer COM
PEELED to hurry to their work at 5
o'clock in the morning and the work un-
til o'clock in the evening.
Business and professional men 60 to
their counting rooms and Offices an
hour or more later and leave as much
earlier in the afternoon. The result
is more time for sleep and better
health. But there is still more room
for improvement in this way. Walter
Besant, the English novelist, said a
few weeks ago at Harvard university,
class: "A fine, noble-looking lot Of
versity students physically. I think our
young men, as rule, are bigger,
heavier, stouter men, while yours have
more nervous activity than ours. They
are sHghter, and, perhaps, taller, but
they seem to be more highly strung
nervously." That is the trouble with
majority Of graduates. Notwithstand-
ing the growth of the athletic spirit in
fna
into life too "highly strung nervously."
There is no better medicine than good
sleep and plenty of it, and many boy
and man is crippled in energy by an
unwise habit of getting up early in the
morning. The American people would
be happier, there would be less crime
committed if people slept longer. 1t is
time the so-called sluggard had his
rights and the man who prefers his
morning snooze to a morning cocktail
is estimated at his proper value. .:

BOOKS AND THEIR AGE.

when he discovers that his treasure
is worth in the market not more than

Age alone gives value to but very
few books. Yet the average person has
an idea that If book was printed long
ago it must necessarily be valuable.
And, what is curious, different people
differ as to the dates that constitute a
book old. There are those who fancy
that volume printed 100 years ago
must be esteemed very old, very rare
and very: valuable. Others show YOU
with pride Hudibras printed-we1 will
say-in 1850, or. a Bible printed 200
years ago; and these volumes are cher
