Ihe OrirIn of NIrIIcinn.

The fact that certain herbs and
plants produce certain effects upon
the human system, and alleviate or
cure certain ills, has been known from
time immemorial. Perhaps the most
ancfent of medicines-properly au-
thenticated, that isis hops. which
was used in the dual capacity of an
intoxicating beverage and as a. medi-
cine in 2000 b. c. This is attested
by pictures of the plant on Egyptian
monuments of that date CreOsote
was discovered in 1880 by Reichen-
bach, who extracted it from the tar of
wood. Potassium was discovered in
1907 by Sir Humphrey Davy, but
alcohol was first distinguished as an
elementary substance by Albucasis in
the twelfth century.
Scheele discovered g'ycerine in 1899.
NuX vomica. which is nearly as old, is
the seed of tree Indigenous to India
and Ceylon. Peppermint is native to
Europe, and it's use as medicine
dates back to the middle ages. Myrrh,
which comes from Arabia and Persia,
was used rs medicine in the time of
Solomon. Hemlock, the extract of
which killed Socrates, is II native of
Italy and Greece. Iodine was dis
covered in 1912 by Courtois, and vas
first employed in a hospital in London
in 1925. Ipecac comes from South
America, and its qualities are first
mentiC ID in 1913 by Spanish writer,
who refers to it as a Brazilian medi-
cine. Ergot is the product of the dis
eascd seeds of common rye, and is one
of Hahnemann's discoveries. Aconite
grows in Siberia and Central Asia,
and was first used rs medicine by
Storck in 1862 Hasheesh, or Indian
hemp, is aresinous substance produced
from the tops of the plant in India.
1t has been used, as has opium, since
Indian history began Caffeine, the
active principle of coffee, was found by
Runge in 1920 Arnica halls from
Europe and ASIA but ne medicine is
made from artificial pants grown for
that purpose in Germany and France.

Once there was man who sold
produce to travelling circus. The
circus stayed in town for n week. and
as the proprietor could not pay for
the produce, he gave mortgage on
the elephant. When he could not
meet the bill the produce dealer fore
closed on the elephant, and proceeded
to lead him home by rope, whereat
the villagers gathered about, and asked
him what he was going to do with the
elephant, and where he was going to
put him. He replied that he should
put him in the chicken-coop and keep
him. Now the chicken-coop was
pretty big for chicken coop, and
even compared favorably with the
house and barn but when the ele-
plant stood by it's side its proportions
assumed changed aspect and the
elephant wouldn't fit. The elephant
strayed about in the yard and ate up
produce and everything else for n
week; aud then the holder of the
newly acquired luxury sent word TO
the former owner, Come and get
your elephant ut once. have fam
lily TO support
" isn't always sJch an easy matter
to get rid Of an elephant; aud when
you nave accommodations for q chicken
only, it isn't wise to invite an elephant
to dwell with you And yet We all do
this constantly. - Demorests Maya

smaiI Farming.

Snail farming forms apecular branch
OF agricultural industry in France and
other countries, aud the consumption
of them in France is very large, says a
contributor 90 Chambers's Journal.
Edible snails vary greatly in size; the
large white ones are the real escargot,
bnt this term is usually employed to
designate all edible snais adapted TO
table purposes. But in the markets,
besides escmgot, there are two other
varieties known as limace aud lima
con, the former being Of medium size.
and the latter quite small Though
the great majority OF the edible snails
produced in France are Of natural
growth, their artificial culture is car
ricd ON to n very considerable extent.
They are propagated from August TO
October in ground especially prepared
for the purpose, aud fed with cabbage,
clover etc. During the winter they
are sheltered in houses composed of
brick or wood, aud they are gathered
and marketed from April to June.
I'm the Tyrol from June to the mid
die OF August tho auuils are collected
from every available damp place and
taken 10 the feeding ground near the
owners dwelling This is q bit Of
garden ground, free from trees and
shrubs, and surrounded on all sides
by running water In this feeding
ground are little heaps Of mountain
pine twigs, mixed loosely with wood
moss, and those twigs when dry are
replaced by fresh ones. Every day
they are feel on cabbage leaves and
grass, a1l whaa cold weather sets in
they go under cover-that is they
collect under the heaps OF twigs and
bury Themselves mp for the winter.
When this has been successfully ao-
comp.ished they are collected, packed
i'm perforated boxes lined with straw,
and sent of 10 Paris and other towns.
