The London Standard showed be-
coming respect for letters by devoting a
"leader" the other day to the memory
of Boswell, whose death took place a
century ago. It makes perhaps more of
tragedy of his end than the facts quite
Justify, but it does recognize his place
in literature, which after all is the es-
sential His follies were not greater
than Goldsmith's, and yet the world by
a silly trick went on shifting at "Boz-
zy'' for generations That nonsense is
happily now about dead We are begin
ming to speak fttingly of one of the
greatest writers in literature Boswell
is to all other biographers what Shake
speare is to other poets. Lockhart's
"Life of Scott is admirable, but it has
only to be compared to the "Life Of

New Treatment For BURNS.

A Paris medical man of resources and
alternatives had In hand a case of severe
and extensive burning, caused by boil
ing water. So deep was the injury that
the healing process was greatly delayed.
The patients family objected to skin
grating, which seemed to be the only
way to accelerate the process of recov
cry, and the doctor, as an experiment,
applied the internal membrane of the
hens egg-the white film with which
everybody is familiar. The injury must
have progressed beyond the suppurative
stage and shown signs of healthy heal
ing. A freshly laid egg is broken and
the membrane Immediately cut into
narrow strips and laid carefully across
the raw surface, then antiseptic dress
ings are applied with carbolic solutions,
and the whole is covered by tin foil. In
a number of cases this procedure has
been eminently satisfactory. New York

THE OLD FRIENDS.

The old friends, the old friends
We loved when we were young,
With sunshine on their faces -
And music on their tongues
The bees are in the almond flower,
The birds renew their strain,
But the old friends, once lost to us.
Can never come again.
The old friends, the old friendsI
Their brow is lined with care
They've burrows in the faded cheek
And silver in the hair,
But to me they are the old friends still.
In youth and bloom the same
As when we drove the flying ball
Or shouted in the game
The old men, the old men,
How slow they creep alongl
How naughtily we scoffed at them
In days when we were youngi
Their pressing and their doing,
Their pirate of times gone by,
Their SILVER like an aspen leaf
If but a breath went by.
But we, we are the old men now,
Our blood is faint and chill;
We cannot leap the mighty brook
Or climb the breakneck hill
We maunder down the shortest cuts,
We rest on stick or stile,
And the young men, half ashamed to laugh
Yet pass us with SMILE
But the young men, the young men,
Their strength is fair to see
The straight back and the springy stride,
The eye as falcon free,
The shout above the frolic wind
AS up the hill they go,
E,1k f<.l ~.
They soon shall be as low.
Oh, weary, weary drag the years
AS life draws near the end,
And sadly, sadly fall the tears
For loss of love and friend.
But we'll not doubt there's good about
In all of human kind;
So here's health before we go
To those we leave behind

Intelligent people, who realize the i'm

the body in normal condition, find moth
ing strange in the number of diseases
that Hoods Sarsaparilla is able to cure.
So many troubles result from impure
blood that the best way to treat them is
through the blood, and it is far better to
use only harmless vegetable compounds
than to dose to excess with quinine, calo-
mel and other drugs. By treating the
blood, with Hoods Sarsaparilla, scrofula,
salt rheum and what are commonly called
"humors;" dyspepsia, catarrh, rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, consumption and other
troubles that originate in impurities of the
blood or impaired circulation. can all be
cured.

had to be amputated, and during the oper-

SOME OLD TRADE TRICKS.
How They Were Punished Five OF 81
Hundred Years Ago

How They Were Punished Five OF SIX
Hundred Years Ago.
Cheating in trade is no new thing. It
was practiced in the fourteenth century
as we'll as in the nineteenth. Our town
records contain many cases of summary
jurisdiction in matters affecting the
price, weight and quality of food, cloth
ing and other things.
/ Gull few from the archives of the
city of London. In 1348 proceedings
were taken against butcher for selling
putrid meat. Three reasons were alleged
against this conduct at his trial before
the mayor and aldermen. 1t was deceit
full and dishonest; dangerous to the pub
lie health 1t brought scandal and dis
grace upon the mayor, corporation, and
all the inhabitants of the city that
Londoner should behave So After the
investigation he was found guilty, and
condemned to be taken, with his bad
meat carried in front of him, to the pill
lory in Cornhill, and while he stood
therein the carrion he had tried to sell
was burned under his nose.
It is we'll known that the pillory
was an instrument in which the culprit
was fixed, incapable of movement, ex-
posed to the contempt of the people.
The offense Of the culprit was always
publicly proclaimed, and, according to
the views of the spectators, the punish
ment might be severe or otherwise If
they disliked the offense of the offender,
their contempt would take the proven
bal and forcible form of rotten eggs
and dead cats, and the trader would
make closer acquaintance with his
own wares, both raw and cooked, than
he might find pleasant.
A publican, convicted of selling un
sound and unwholesome red wine, was
sentenced to drink draft of the same
stuff which he sold to the common peo-
pie, the remainder being poured on his
head, and compelled to forswear the call
ing of winner in the city Of London
forever, unless he could obtain the favor
of the king. A note on the record states
that he was readmitted five years later.
About the same time we find wom-
an charged with selling ale in short
measure quart pot, the bottom of which
she had thickened with pitch and COW
cred with rosemary, to look like bush in
the sight of her customers 1t was a
common practice to put some sort of
evergreen leaves in the bottom of tank
ards-hence the proverb, GOOD wine
needs no bush" Her sentence was to
stand in the thew" or female pillory,
with half of the pot attached to it. AS
far as possible, the cause of the offense
was always exhibited along with the
person punished.
Severe punishment was melted out for
endeavoring to raise the standard mar
ket price of corn and other articles In
1347 merchant was imprisoned for 40
| days for enhancing the price of his own
property. He secretly employed man
I to bring certain of bis own (the mer-
chant's) wheat to the market, where
! upon he bought his own at twopence more
per bushel than the market price, Of
course taking care to make the same
we'll known, forgetting, however, to
state what he knew about the seller. -
