ANCIENT REMEDIES.
Alchemy and SuDerstitiOn-SOme RI
dicuIOus Compounds.

1t is strange to notice the great be-
lief which the ancients appeared to have
in the restorative properties of human
blood. So, for epilepsy, disease of the
brain, and even for spleen, human blood
was much recommended. IN the
month of May take a considerable guam
tity of healthy young mems blood"
The blood was distilled twice and dried
in the sun. One wonders what the
healthy young men" had to say on
this subject of blood letting, especially
as "a considerable quantity" was taken.
In olden times no one need remain
vrinkled. All that was necessary was
to ''smear the face with a mixture of
water and pounded root of wild cucum-
her" If anyone was afflicted with
frecllles it was his own fault; the RENE
dy was simple if scarcely pleasant; he
must rub a bulls gall on the face" To
us who are apt to be irritated by dust
or smoke in the eye while on the rail-
way, the following prescription should
be valuable: "Chant the psalm 'Qui
habitat thrice over water, with which
then douche the eve" \ certain rene
dy for curing an inebriate was to give
him as many eggs of the screech owl
boiled hard as he could possibly eat,
when he would ever after be a total alb
stainer. This is surely worthy the at
tention of the temperance societies.
The search for "the philosophers
stone" seems to have been no mere
craze of the unlettered. Men of un-
impeachable ability and great learn
ing wasted the greater part of their
lives on this quest. Some supposed
mercury to be the chief transmitting
force; others thought that by sulphur
the bodies of metals could be turned

Squirrels Invade n House.

On several occasions recently the fam
lily of Isaac Batz, living at Round Top
Valley, Berks county. Pa, observed
rather queer looking flying objects en-
tering through broken window in the
attic of their home. For long time the
garret of the house had been used only
for storage purposes, and had not been
entered by anyone in a number of
months. Mr.. Batz entered the garret
and was astonished TO find the place in
possession OF a small army of flying
squirrels. The animals became greatly
disturbed by the intrusion, and were
driven from the place, killed or captured
alive. The prisoners numbered 49, The
finding of such large number of flying
squirrels under the circumstances is
considered most extraordinary here.

held a short time ago, and papers were

SCIENCE OF GRATING.
1t Enabled Farmers to Raise Two
Crops on One Vine.

1t has been discovered that tomatoes
and potatoes may be grown from the
same stem with very satisfactory re-
suits. series of careful experiments
has recently been completed near
Troyes, France, which shows that by
simply grating tomatoes to an or
dinary potato plant the fruit grown
will be larger and finer than if grown
by the ordinary method. A picture of
one of the new potato-tomato plants is
presented herewith.
The new plant, strange as it may ap-
pear, is not in any sense freak. 1t is
a result that is obtained by accident,
and cannot, therefore, be reproduced
at will. The theory of this grating is,
on the other hand, perfectly simple and
natural. The potato and the tomato
belong to the same general botanic
family of plants. This general division
which the botanists have made is called
the 'solanacoe" or, more commonly, the
might shades Among the other mem
bers of this family are the tobacco,

SPANS DISCLAIMER.
Dons' Government Does Not In

Criticisms of President Mckinley that
Were Contained In the Ex-Minister's
Note to Canalejas are Not In
dorsed by the Castilians.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-Spain has offi-
cially disclaimed in positive manner
the reflections contained In the De
LONE letter and as officially announced
by the state department the incident
is satisfactorily closed.
The following is an abstract OF note sent
Wednesday evening by the Spanish govern
ment to Minister Woodford at Madrid:
The Spanish government, on learning OF tho
incident in which Minister De LONE was con-
cerned, and being advised of his obJectlonaoie
communication, with entire sincerity amehtS
the incident which was the cause of the inter-
view with the minister and states that MINIS
ter De LONE had presented his resignation ana
ii had been accepted before the presentation OF
the mat ,er ly Minister Woodford
The Spanish ministry. in accepting the res
ignation of functionary whose services they
had been utilizing and valuing up to that time
leave it practically well established that they
do not share and on the contrary disauthorlze
the criticisms tending to offend or censure the
chief of a friendly state, although such crltl-
ciSms had been written within the heIu OF
friendship. and had reached publicity by artful
and criminal means This meaning had taken
shape in resolution by the council OF min
sters before Gen WCodford presented the
matter and at a time when the Spanish gov
ernment had only vague teegraphic reports
concerning the sentiments alluded TO- Ihe
Spanish nation, with equal ana greater reason
affrms its view and decision after reading the
words contained in the letter refiecting upon
the president OF the United StaUes-

bility of negot ations for commercial relations,
If even for effect, and the Importance or using
a representative for the purpose stated IN
Senor De Lomes letter, the government eX-
presses concern that in the light OF its conduct.
long after the writing OF the letter, and in view
of the unanswerable testimony OF simultaneous
and subsequent facts, any doubt should exist
that the Spanish government has given proof
OF its real desire and of its innermost convic-
tions with respect to the new commercial sys-
TEN and the projected treaty OF commerce
