PASSING OF THE LEIGH.


Medicine Has Turned the Cold Shoulder on
m Old Friend That II Still Effective.
A young man with black eye was led
the other night by some friends to see
what could be done to make the eye pre-
sentable The druggist said that he could
not paint the eye, which the young man
tosisted was tho only proper course, but a
leech could be applied. There was some
argument to the effect that leeches were
old fashioned, but the young man consent
ed 10 an operation. The druggist brought
out n jar six inches in height and fished
around inside with one hand. He brought
out a crawling, black object that he i'm
medi3tely transferred to little pasteboard
box, in one side Of which he had cut q
small hole, near the edge in the cover.
Holding the hole up to the young man s
eye the druggist shook the box a little and
the leech's head was soon at work reducing
the size Of ffie dark patch under the eye.
Meanwhile the company got some instruc-
ton about iecches.
"Thc indicative leech Ia not so much in
demand as it ought to be-" said the drug
gist, land the main difficulty in this
country is to get leeches that will not cause
blood poisoning. The decrease in the use
of leeches by the medical profession is re-
markable. In England the largest two
hospitals formerly called for about so, 900
of them; now they call for 30 or 100
leeehes at irregular intervals. Owing to
lack of demand and overproduction in
the old country, the price has fallen there
to abont one-half of that easily obtained 80
years ago. In this country q few places
produce leeches, but they are not SO good
as these that are imported. The best are
brought from Norway In tubs Of rich loan.
In England the speckled leech, which is
raised ineHungary for the English trade,
Is the most popular. The leech Is used
almost exclusively for removing blood
from the eye after the bruise is day old.
When the eye Is first bruised, the best
thing to use is raw meat. The best leeches
are those that hang on the longest. These
are from Norway, and they are long and
slender"
"I guess this came from Norway" said
the sufferer, wiDcing "It pulls hard
enough"
"Ob, you will feel as lively as q cricket
after this is over" said the druggist.
"You needn't be afraid of any impurities,
such as some have complained Of when
using American leeches. Some are raised
In Florida, but they are not held to be
very good. The danger of having leeches
raised In warm countries Is that the bite
is dangerous, giving rise to blood poison
ing. That's what is said of American
leeches, but / never had any experience
with them"
"How muchp" said the man after the
leech had let go.
"Twenty five cents" said the druggist

UP THE VALLEY.
Union Temperance Commit
tee Made a New Move.
Warrants Sworn OutAgainst Two
Liquor Dealers in Cumberland.
The Mission Opened at st. Patrick's Church
Yesterday Morning-Notes.

The leaders of the anti-license forces
have taken decided move in another di-
rection. Not being successful in lessen
ing the number of licensed places they
have sworn eternal vengeance against all
illegal places. The new move was made
Saturday afternoon when Matthew Taylor
appeared before Clerk Follett of the 18th
District Court in this city and secured
warrants charging Frederick j. Sweers,
an unlicensed liquor dealer on Broad
street, Lonsdale, and James McGrath, a
licensed dealer of Broad street, with
violating chapter 102 of the Public Laws
of Rhode island. The power behind Tay-
lor Is Rev. James V. Chalmers of Christ
church.
According to Rev. Mr.. Chalmers he was
at the Taylor house when Frederick j.
Sweers sold a pint of whiskey, for which
he was paid by Mrs. Taylor. Rev. James
v. Chalmers and the woman's husband
were present at the time. The same evil
dence holds as to James McGrath, Mrs.
Taylor paying McGrath for the liquor in
the presence of Rev. Mr.. Chalmers and her
husband.
Frank Mellett, paymaster of the Ions
dale Company, gaveIsurety for costs.
The outcome OF this move will be
watched with much interest by all the
dealersIin the Valley district.
The Mission Opened.
The mission was opened at st. Patrick's
Church yesterday morning at the first
mass, and continued throughout the Isev-
eral services of the day. The mission Is in

number of young children made their first
communion.
A Citizens Protest.
A citizen went to Central Falls yesterday
and complained to Chief Goldsmith con-
corning a place being run on the Sibley

was disgrace to any civilized community.
He was referred to the Cumberland au-
thorities.

HOW TO Find OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with urine
and let 1t stand twenty-four hours; a ssai.
ment or settling indicates diseased con

that the kidneys and bladder are ont Of

THE LATEST UNION.
The Foreign Noblemen Have Formed IL
to Avert Serious Mistakes,

This Foreign Noblemen Have Formed IL
to Avert Serious Mistakes.
The infection Of organized effort has
reached all classes Of society. We have
long had our trades unions and farmers
alliances. All is organization in the
line OF labor, from syndicates to husking
bees. And union has recently been
formed which aims at cornering the
finances of the country in a most Dor
tentous and unheard Of manner. This is
a union of foreign nobility, and its OBJ
Ject is to facilitate the exchange of titles
for American currency.
There is good deal of competition
in this line, and the union will have to
hustle to keep up rates. Being a noble
IN Europe is about as impecunious as
being poet in America. Once in awhile
the holder Of title strikes a bargain,
but as o rule the market is liable to
huctuation and disappointment. Often
count with genealogy that runs SO
Tar back into the iron age that the first
pages are covered with rust secures n
controlling interest in the only daughter
OF mighty owner of railroad stock and
ere the honeymoon has even begun to
wane discovers that the aforesaid stock
has been watered SO copiousIy that the
figures on the shares have swelled nm
until they haveturned to ciphers. Grand
dukes with coats of arms large enough
to be used as oyercoats marry into what
appears to be enormous wealth--whole
counties Of land-only to learn later
that the entire property is covered with
a mortgage SO stern and unyielding that
the tenants are obliged to bore holes
through with an anger in order to plant
corn. The trouble is that the nobility
often employs inexperienced detectives
to look into the case.
1t is to avert such mistakes and to
keep the scions of ancient houses from
going dirt cheap to the daughter of a
second grade pork packer that the union
has been organized. It certainly has a
fair field. w. G. Brooks in Truth.

CROSS SECTION END VIEW.


struction of such hotbed is the subject
Of an illustrated description by Charles
A. Long, in American Gardening:
The location should be one that will
admit of drainage from the excavation
that is made to hold the manure. To
have a bed that acts SIS catch basin
for water III case of heavy thaw or a
rainfall is too risky If the bed be also
sheltered by an evergreen or other wind
break, it means much in retention Of
heat First provide sufficient space for
tho heating material. Referring to the
cut, b shows hothed feet wide, and the
space around should not be less than
feet, and in the north even 4 feet
would be no mistake; in depth, 2 feet
below the surface is about right. This
calls for large stock Of manure, but
the manure not only gives a complete
and paying bed, but it is aftcrward on
hand for enriching the garden
The foundation is matter Of impor-
lance, that the bed may retain all exact
position without reference to the set
thing of the manure. In the case illus
trated the foundation consists of oak
stakes 3 % feet in length, driven into
the ground to a depth of about 2 feet.
For four sash bed use 12 stakes "a in
the slzetch) These are driven home and
capped by a plank ripped into three
pieces, or 6 inches wide aud as long
as the bed is to ha. The frame is set
upon these planks rs shown. Within
this frame Is bottom made Of / inch
rough boards which rest on the strips,
and on this is placed the soil. Thus is
the bed firm and will last for at least
ten years. To prevent heaving of the
stakes previous to making up time in
winter, some manure may he piled
around the base of each.
In making the bed, remove the sash
and the board bottom, then fill in the
manure evenly over the entire excava-
ton C. tramping it uniformly and firm
ly. Under the frame itself the manure
is to be brought up TO The top Of the
strips that rest on the stakes. Indeed, it
may be brought several inches higher,
counting on the boards and the soil to
press it down to its proper place. Out
side the frame the manure is to be piled
to make slope from the sash to the
ground level. The slope of the hotbed
itself should always be toward the south
that is, the sash exposed to the sun.
In order to preserve as much heat as
possible no better means can be employ |
ed than shutters covering the manure as
shown in the engraving. These are |
made of three-fourths inch stuff secured |
with clinch nails to cross Stats. They |
should be made of a size convenient to |
handle. If, after the heat be somewhat |
spent, any difficulty he found in keeping
up the temperature desired, the shutters
nay be removed, some of the lining
thrown oct and fresh manure put in its
place.
Protection against cold must be given
Il the shape of sash covers. Straw mats
ire much used, but best gardeners prefer
wooden shutters. The main reliance rs
leating material for hotbed is straWy
lorse manure or mixture of this and
ther fresh manure. Forest leaves are
xcellent to mix with the manure, as
hey decay slowly, tending to prolong
and also to make the heat
ng more uniform.

London, says the correspondent of the

curious studies to the visitor on Queen s
Day, US the day for the great procession
is now designated. One distinguish hing
feature will be the absolute suspension
of traffic. A person standing in tine

thing to suppress for ten or twelve
hours every part of this stupendOus sys-
TEN of vehicular traffic and sweep utter
ly away from the sheets every horse
and wheeled continuance. Yet that is
what will be done on Queens Day after
8 O'Clock In the morning until the pro-
cession is over, and then again in the
evening after O'Clock. IN order tn.
the people may freely and without fear
Of being run over, surge through the
streets to see the Nominations. which

and winding character of the streets
make this precaution imperatively ne

pie will be congregated IN the central

mitted 1t would be ut the peril of life or
