RadisheS.

Radishes possess valuable medicinal
properties. They are demulcent, stimu-
lating and diuretic, and should be eaten
freely when fresh and crisp. They are
usually eaten with salt only, but if
sliced thin are very nice with a French
dressing In this country the radishes
themselves are rarely cooked, though the
tops of young radishes are often boiled.
The radish is a native of Asia, where it
has been cultivated from the most an
cient times. Nearly an inch Of the green
top should be left on the radishes when
they are prepared for the table, and this
little portion of the top should be eaten,
as the peculiar properties they possess
help to digest the radish itself.-West

A Revolutionary Bell.

A miniature iron bell, relic of revo-
Iutionary days. was unearthed in pile
of rubbish in the garnet of the old
Schuyler mansion yesterday by James
Doherty. The bell was coated with rust
and the dust of ages and when discOv-
cred it's original form was scarcsiy per-
ceptible.
When the rust had been removed there
was revealed a bell of crude pattern in
scribed on one side with the word Lib
erty' and on the other '1776" The let
tering was blurred and worn and the
figures are not at all plain.
1t is believed that the bell was cast
from metal used in the old Liberty bell
and if this is true the relic is extremely
aluable-Albany Argus.
