of eight poor travellers who met by

for "a scurvy dinner" In the course oi
conversation they are discovered to be-
eight European monarchs who haG

Adelaide, widow of Lothario, King ol
Italy, one of the most beautiful womer
OF her age, after the siege of Pavia, was
compelled in her flight to a place ol

cealing herself in the daytime in the
corn fields, and subsisting on the aims
bestowed upon her by the poorest o.
the peasantry.
Henry W. of France, being dethron

entreated the Bishop of Spires to gran
him lay prebend in his church. HI
pleaded that he had studied and hat
learned to sing. The suit was denied

The daughter of James L., who mar

Poisonous Tissue In the Blood.

A recent intelligent writer draws at
tention to an important but not suffi-
GENTLY considered point in a recent COM
munication to The Lancet. DR.. Hood
gives his experience as to the value OF
carbonate of line in the form of cal
cined oyster shells as means of arrest
ing the growth Of cancerous tumors.
and, although his opportunities for en-
ploying it in test cases have not been
large, the results attained by its use are
characterized as having proved satisfac-
tory in high degree. Several instances
are named in which perseyering use
of the calcined she'll powder arrested
the growth and pain in tumors undoubt-
edly Of a cancerous character. Where
the nature of the affection is early rec
ognized, persistent trial of this meth
cd is pronounced very desirable, among
other points mentioned in its favor be-
ing that of entire harmlessness and non
interference with any other remedies
resorted to for the relief Of pain. The
oyster shells for this purpose may be
conveniently baked in a home oven,
and the calcined white lining Of the
concave shell scraped off. the substance
thus obtained being then reduced to q
powder, and as much as will lie on q
silver quarter taken once or twice day
in a little warm water or tea.
