OF the many extraordinary drinks
regularly consumed the blood of live
horses may perhaps be considered the
most SO. Marco Polo and Carpini were
the first to tell the world of the practice
of the Tartars and Mongols opening the
vein in their horses necks, taking a
drink and closing the wound again. As
far as can be seen this has been the
practice from time immemorial.
There is wine habitually consumed
in China which is made from the f1es b
of lambs reduced to paste with milk or
bruised into pulp with rice and then
fermented. 1t is exceptionally strong
and nutritious and powerfully slim
ulating to the physical organism.
The Laplanders drink a great deal of
smoked snow water, and one of the ma
tional drinks of the Tonquinese is ar
rack favored with chickens blood. The
list would scarcely be complete without
mention of absinthe, which may be call
ed the national spirituous drink of
France. 1t is a horrible compound of
alcohol, anlse, coriander fennel, worm
wood, indigo and sulphate Of copper. 1t
is strong, nasty and moral and phys
ical poison

The principal export from Catania is
snow, in which most lucrative trade
is carried ON in Malta and parts OF
southern Italy. 1t is collected during
the winter in hollows in the mountains
and covered with ashes to prevent its
thawing. 1t is brought down in PAN
niers on mules to the coast at night.
The revenue derived from this source is
immense and renders the Prince Of Pa
terno one Of the richest men in Sicily.
Snow is the universal luxury from the
highest to the lowest rank and is sold
at the rate of cents for 80 ounces.
The poorest cobbler there would rather
deprive himself of his dinner than of
his glass of "aqua gelata.
1t is extensively used in hospitals and
scarcity of it would be considered al
most as great misfortune as famine
and would occasion popular tumult.
To guard against such accidents the
government at Naples has made the
providing Of it monopoly. the CON
tractors being required to give security
to the amount OF so, 900 ducats, which
sum is forfeited if 1t can be proved that
for one hour the supply has not beer
equal to the demand.

Funny Toothache Cures.

Before the days Of dentists, and when
people generally believed in the value
of charms, there were ever so many
mysterious ways of preventing tooth
ache.
One of these was to dress the right
side of the body first-right stocking,
right shoe, right sleeve, right glove. A
favorite plan in Scotland was to draw
q tooth, salt it we'll and burn it in full
view on glowing Goals. In Cornwall
many save their teeth by biting the first
young ferns that appear.
The custom Of catching a common
ground mole, cutting off the paws while
the little creature still lives, and wear
ing them, is traced to Staffordshire,
England. Some people who are fond of
exercise believe that walking 10 miles
no more, no less-to get splinter of
the toothache tree that grows particu-
larly we'll in Canada and Virginia will
drive away the worst ache and pain
that ever tortured poor tooth.
The belief that toothache is caused
by worm at the roots is prevalent in
many parts Of the world; hence this
cure: Reduce several different kinds of
herbs-the greater variety the better
to powder. Put glowing cinder into
this powder and inhale the incense.
Afterward breathe into a cup of water
and the worm will be gone forever.

The majority of persons find it hard to
realize that the body should be kept
clean inside as well as outside. Cleanl-
ness OF the tissues within the body Is as
necessary to health and comfort as
cleanliness OF the skin. 1t is necessary
to dissolve the waste material which
otherwise would collect in the body and
remove 1t 10 the various excretions.
These waste materials often are actual
poisons, and their retention Is the cause
OF many headaches, many rheumatic
