Extract of Marrow For Anmmia.

1t has been claimed, according to tho
New York Ilcrald's European edition, al
though it has never been proved, that tho
marrow Of the bones Of young animals
takes part in forming blOod-that is to
say, that it transforms whito globulcs into
rcd From this theory has sprung the
idea Of using marrow in the treatment Of
an1mia, as has been tried by NJ. Dixon
Mann.
Tho physician of the Stafford Royal hos
pital claims to have obtained excellent re-
suits in two cases of chlorosis and in Il
small boy very much weakened by repeat
ed loss OF blood by the administration Of
a glyccrin extract of red veal marrow TAX
en- from animals freshly killed. After u
few weeks treatment microscopical OK
animation Of the blood showed n noticoa-
bic increase in the numbuof red globulcs,
and there was mt the same time improve
mcnt in the general condition.
The extract used had the appearance of
dark red liquid not at all unpleasant
in odOr or taste and WAS given in doses of
one or two tcaspoonfuls day.

Mrs. Ritchie, Thackeray's daughter, in
her "reminiscences says that her father al
ways loved music, and understood it too.
He knew his opera tunes by heart. II
have always liked" she says, "the little
story of his landing with his companions
at Malta on his way to the east and as no
one of the company happened to speak
Italian he was able to interpret for the
whole party by hummng the lines from
various operas. I'm bigletto-Eccolo qua
says my father to the man from the shore,
I.nsce darem' In mano,' and he helped
Lady T. up the gangway, and so on.
"Qa used sometimes to bring Mr.. Ella
home to dine with him, and he liked to
hear his interesting talk about music.
Through Mr.. Elias kindness the doors Of
the Musical Union flew open wide to Us,
and it was there | first heard Dr. Joseph
joachim play When / listened to the
familiar happy stream flowing once more
before the crowdiug listeners ! could only
marvel with wondering gratitude that
such a strain should have accomplished
the opera Of ones long life in allits varying
scenes and combinations"

The liver depends upon the legs for ex-
ercise. The movement Of the body keeps
the liver from becoming torpid torpid
liver and gastric disorders cause unsettled
nerves and painful and frequent headaches.
All these things come from tie iaat that
the legs and the liver are not exercised
enough, that the various digestive juices
have not been absorbed by the system. 1t
has been demonstrated in the case of bile,
which is absorbed with great rapidjty from
the intestines and re-eXcyoted by the liver,
thattt does not pass into the general cir
culatiOu at all.
As the liy.s gets its principal power from
the activity of the body, it will be seen
that the proper distribution Of the gastric
juices and oils which aid digestion is de-
pendent more upon the steps a woman
takes and the manner in thich they are
taken, than upon the quality and quantity
OF the food consumed. 80 Jenness- Miller

WHY hE LIKES ANNIE LAURIE,

a Tenor Who, when a Little Doy, Sang
for General Sherman's Soldiers.
"Why do think so much of that beauti
full old song, Annie Laurie'W said Albert
q. Thies, the tenor to a reporter at
gathering of musical people the other even
ing well, will tell You. Ever since
was two years old have loved that song.
1t was the first one | ever learned, and
was fully seven years Old before cared for
another. One day, soon after learned it,
my mother missed me from the house. She
made diligeut though fruitless search for
me in the neghborhOOd for several hours.
Finally policeman came along who said,
after listening to her story, why, that
must be the little fellow with long yellow
curs that follows the Italian organ grinder
nearly every day and sings Annie Laurie"

pearance | must have presented on my first
concert tour had run away from the
house in order to go barefooted. and had
followed the organ, singing when its owner
played my favorte tune. When was
only six years old had the honor to sing
Annie Laurie before General Sherman
and his staff
81 shall never forget that day. 1t was in
lSG4 The army had just returned from
the south and was cncamped on Riker's
Island. One day my brother, who was an
aide-de-camp to the general, obtained per
mission for my mother and me to visit the
island Twas dressed in black velvet with
a wide linen collar, and had a soft hat of
black felt stuck jauntily over my curls.
AS walked about the village of white can
vas, the officers and men would come out
and hug and kiss me as they thought of
their own dear ones at home whom they
should soon be permitted to see again. |
was the first child they had seen since their
arrival north
Some one, probably my brother, had
told them about my song and they made
me sing it, AS sang, the tears would
flow down the rugged cheeks of the dear
old fellows as, with broken voices, they
joined in the chorus. Their approval took
practical form. My pockets soon began
to be heavy with coins Of various kinds.
Many a man gave me the last cent he had
in the world None of them had much
money at that time, fancy.
81 received just s. O6 besides bag Of
crackers which kind hearted soldier gave
me Bad luck, however, attended me.
The tug which had brought us from this
city went away and left us. We had to
hire farmer to take us in an OK cart to
the other side Of the island, where we took
aferryboat. The farmer charged us five
dollars, which about used up my first pro
fessional fee
MY love for the song is so well known
in the musical profession that an American
woman vioiiuist, in order, as she said, to
keep peace in the family, has nicknamed
my wife Annie Laurie. ''-New York Trib

GOOD FORM.

1t Carries the Great World With 1t, Let
Lesser Mortals say What They VIII.
"Twenty years ago a man or woman in
even the smartcst set of New York society
would have been puzzled to give doilni-
tion Of the term good FORM, which is
now so constantly used. The good old
knights and danes Of those days whose
birth, breeding and education had taught
them all that is comprised in that well
worn term had never heard the express
sion and never applied it to themselves
or their friends. They were refined, eGu-
Gated and accomplished men and women,
full Of that delicate appreciation Of others
and that unwillingnoss to hurt the feel
ings or irritate the susceptibilities Of those
with whom they were brought in contact,
which IS the very essence Of refinement
IL is true that the men sometimes gave
uttoranCc TO a sturdy round oath without
careful consideration of who might hear
them, and tho dear old DANES would in
an unguurdcd moment ask a direct qucs-
tion touching the affairs of their friends
or noighbors which in these days is the
first and greatest oifonso against good
form. But, for all that, they were honest
and true, OyerilOwing with the milk of
human kindness, and rcady-nGy, glad-tO
give of their time and their strength to
nurse the sick and suffering, to watch by
tho dead and to comfort tho broken heart
ed. All those Offices OF love and devotion
helped to soften the hearts Of those who
minstorCd and to annihilato the germs
of sclllshness and self seeking which are
latent in every human heart. And the
nature thus purified and elevated reacted
upon the outer man and gave to the
women Il sOftnCss of manner and sweet
ness Of expression which one seldom sees
now on tho faces Of those who have passed
20 years Of age"
Good form, as the writer Of the forcgo-
ing explains in IIarper's Bazaar, had its
origin in England and is taken in with its
mother milk by every English child Of u
certain birth and rank. Americans who
have not had tho early training must, to
attain it in perfection, 90 through q
course of polishing-I might say pumice
stoning-by which every natural emotion,
every impulsive movement of mind or
body, may bo forever stilled. Never to
ask a question, never to show feeling.
never to utter syllable betraying fear,
love, curiosity or even interest in those
about you; to keep the body in as COM
plotc subsection as the mind, with every
muscle and fiber in absolute rcpOsc and
not an eyulash trembling even were u
bomb exploding in the street or a tree
struck by lightning before your door-this
is good form as the English understand it,
The absence Of it is very bad form and
not TO be tolerated in the best society either
of London or New York.
That it is attractive in many instances
gives a wonderful finish to the manners
when set off by perfect taste in dress and
an ever present watchfulness to discrimi-
nate between politeness and snobbishness
is beyond doubt

Statistics of our internal commerce have
never been accurately collected but it has
been estimated that the domestic produce
moved and exchanged in this country dur
ing 1890 amounted in value to S25,OOO,O0O,.
600, The annual river commerce Of Gin
cinnati is valued at more than SjO,OOO,O0O.
The tonnage that passes up and down the
Detroit river annually is greater than that
which enters the port of Liverpool, The
number of vessels that enter and clear at
Chicago exceeds every year by 1000 the
number of those that enter and clear at
New York. The tonnage passing through
the Sault Ste. Marie in 1890 exceeded that
passing through the great Suez canal by
l,OOO,OOO tons.-Senator Frye in Forum.

NaSnlnB rect as Marriage ceremony.
Washing the feet seems to be intimately
connected with weddings In the old Ro.
man days the feet of the bride and bride.
groom were washed after the ceremony
had been performed. The custom of wash
ing the brides feet does not seem to have
been 80 prevalent as that of washing the
bridegroom's Wood, in his wedding
Day in All Ages" only gives one instance
of the former. He says, "Among the an.
cient Poles the bride walked three times
round a fire, then sat down and washed
her feet" He refers more frequently to
washing the bridegrooIii's feet.
In India the daughter of Brahmin is
dressed by her father in festive dress, and
washes the bridegroom's feet, the brides
mother pouring out the water for that pur
pose In Malabar the bridegroom's feet are
washed by young relation; and in some
parts Of Java the bride, as sign Of her
subjection, knees and washes the feet of
the bridegroom when he enters the house.
Somewhat analogous customs prevail
among the agricultural classes of the east
of Scotland. The actual ceremony is fall
ing somewhat into desuetude, though the
fleet washing" is still the name given to
an evening of hilarious enjoyment preced
ing the marriage by day or two. The
practice Is common in the north of Scot
land both in relation to bride and bride
groom, and so far as the latter is concerned
usually gives rise to some horse play

ROSES AND MEMORIES.

Gloam and a graynoss as Of breaking night
Till the juno day awakens, till the hush
Breaks into song of throstle, and the lush
Long grasses stir and quivcr, dcwy bright
A world Of duslly crimsons, with the white
Snow petals budding, and the fragrant blush
OF the moss rose-an ever deepening flush
OF flowers that wait the love kiss OF the light.
So breaks the morn of roses; but, alas!
Dead Junes have left their memories, n flower
Pressed between storicd leaves, n twist of grass
Once fitted to my finger in that bower
OF twilight blooms. Oh, lovel though youth
must pass,
Life holds the mem'ry of that golden hour.

A BOOK FOR EACH GOWN.



A certain publishing firm has taken to
advising its women customers to buy
books for Summer reading according so
their bindings, these to be chosen with an
eye to the gown which is to he worn dur
ing the process Of pcrusal. This idea is
good as far as it goes, but suggests some
thing bcttor--in itself it is too simple a
schome to satisfy an intellectual woman.
A more thoughtful plan is to match the
title Of the volume with the costume,
which will give scope to ingenuity and
add a unique charm to the indulgence Of
literary taste which could never be en-
joyed if one looked only to the blue, red or
gray linen Of book covers. The real color
OF book is often decided by It's name, and
it is that which should be selected in har-
mony with the wardrobe since the bind.
