OUININE AND ITS ROMANCE.

Of the Peruvian bark only fiftieth
comes from Peru, our chief source be-
ing Madras, Ceylon holding second
place, the two together sending us
more than all the rest of the world put
together. Forty years ago our quinine
bark all came from the slopes of the
Andes, most of it, as little does now,
packed in hides, carried by hand and
on mules and on boats and RATS for
thousands of miles down the Amazon.
Known for ages to the natives only in
one locality, and so distrusted by them
that it was never carried in the wallets
of their itinerate doctors-so that it is
said with some show of truth that Peru
is the only country where Peruvian
bark it not used-it first came into no.
tice in 1888, when the Countess Chin
con, wife of the viceroy of Peru, lay
i'll at Lima of a tertian fever. The
corregidor of Loxa, hearing of her
illness, and knowing the reputed vir-
tues of the quina bark, sent her par
Gel of one of its varieties, which, ad-
ministered by her physician, brought
about rapid and complete cure.
The variety of bark, however, was
one that abounds in cinchonidine, and

WHAT DENoMINATIoN.-Jay Cooke,
in 1866, told the writer the following :
"One day when l was putting govern
ment bonds upon the market, l was
greatly annoyed by the clerks telling
me that there was an old man in the
Office who would do no business with
them and must see me. To get rid
of him, went out. He said:
"Mr. Cooke, 1 have three thousand
dollars in gold in this bag. 1 can't do
anything with it in the town where l
live; they are circulating grocers'
checks and everything else for money,
and 1 am frightened because I think
1 will be cheated if I dispose Of it.
Will you tell me on your word of hon.
or if these bonds are sound and
right?"
III replied: IF they are not right,
nothing is right. l am putting all l
have in the world in Them
AFTER further conversation the man
concluded to take them.
"sWhat denomination will you have
them imp asked.
"This was too much for the man.
He had never heard that word used
in connection with business. He
scratched his head, and said:
"'You may give me five hundred

the old woman; but l will take the

it was probably this alkaloid, and not

it was probably this alkaloid, and not
quinine, that cured the countess. Two
years afterward the woman returned
to Spain, bringing with her supply
of the precious quina for the use of the
sick on her husbands estates, and its
reputation gradually spread under the
name of countess's powder. In 1870
the Jesuits sent some parcels of the
powdered bark to Rome to be distri-
buted by Cardinal De Lugo, whence it
became known as cardinals powder
and Jesuit's bark, with the ridiculous
result that no Protestants would have
anything to do with it.
One of the oft.quoted absurdities of
this early trade was that to insure a
monopoly-always a monopoly-the
Jesuits persuaded the pope to draw a
line across South America beyond
which no tree should be recognized as
yielding quinine. 1t might be an un-
mistakable cinchona, all the same; but
cinchona it could not possibly be, as
it had had the audacity to grow be-
yond the pope's line; and any one
who refused to accept the evidence of
his senses was promptly treated as a
hereto.
The Jesuits were jubilant, and sold
the bark at high prices in Catholic
countries, vauDting it as an infallible
remedy, under the name of Pulvis
patrum. 1t was John Tabor, an Eng
lish apothecary, who broke down the
prejudice against it. BY the number
of cures he effected by its means, with
out revealing its name, he became
prominent enough to be kpighted by
Charles II in 1857, and next year, as
physician.in in ordinary, he cured the
king of tertian fever. Passing over
to France the same year, he cured the
Dauphin and few other personages
in high places, and sold the secret OF
its preparation to Louis XIV for 1900
louis d or, a pension and title.
The preparation does not seem to
have extended very far, for it was not
until 1915 that the bark was systemat-
ically analysed, and after that five
years elapsed before the alkaloid qui'
nine was found in it. Notwilhstand-
| ing Talbor's success, the doctors fought
bitterly over the new drug, those OF
Paris more truculently than all, the
older men refusing TO admit that il
possessed any good qualities whatever,
and one Of them going so far TO assert
that quinquina, as it had come to be
called, was responsible for 80 sudden
deaths in Madrid alone. But it made
its way, all the same, helped along by
Sydenham and Morton, though the
prejudice against it had not quite died
out in the early part of the present
century, when in the Walcheren expe
dilion many poor fellows life was
saved by the timely arrival of Yankee
trader with some chests of bark, aftel
the supply had entirely failed In the
camp.-Leisure Hour.

the doctors. Meanwhile he had half a
pint of blood taken from him by one
of his overseers. Of the three physi-
clans in attendance, one was his dear
friend, the good Scotchman, DR.. James
Craik. His colleague, DR.. Elisha
Dick, said:
"Do not bleed the general he needs
all his strength"
His advice was not needed. Three
copious bleedings followed, in the last
of which quart of blood was taken.
The third attendant, DR.. Gustavus
Brown, afterward expressed bitter re-
gret that Doctor Dicks advice was
not taken. Besides this wholesale
bleeding, the patient was dosed with
calomel and tartar emetic, and scarf
fed with blisters and poultices.
1.-THE question is suggested" writes
Mr.. Fiske, "If Washington had lived
a dozen years longer, would there
have been a second war with Eng
land ?"
The heroic methods of the Seven
teenth century, which, though killing
thousands, were continued far into the
Eighteenth, are exhibited by the items,
of bill rendered by Doctor Haddon
of York, about 1860, for performing
an amputation. They included zone
highly favored and two ordinary cor
dials, three ointments for the wound,
an ointment precipitate, the operation
of letting blood, purge per diem, two
purges electuaries, which are powders
mixed with honey. or syrup, external
applications, cordial and two astrin-
gent powders, blood-letting, a defen-
sive and large CLOTH"

IT WAS NEW TO HIM.-At one OF
our commercial hotels a stout red.
faced gentleman in white beaver,
blue coat, and buff vest, offered to
wager $5 bill that he would close his
eyes and simply by taste name any
kind of liquor in the house.
The bet was taken and the process
of winning or losing was commenced
forthwith.
"That is genuine brandy" said the
fat gentleman, tasting from a wine
glass; and this is whisky" and so on.
At length wag poured out glass
of water, which he handed to the con-
noiseur.
"This is-ah-ah-this is" said he,
tasting it again; "by thunder, gentle
men! lose the bet! l never tasted
this liquor before"

CONGRESSIONAL FUN.-When the
establishment of the mint was under
discussion, in Washington's time, there
were some amusing debates in congress
concerning the devices the coins should
bear. Here is an account of one funny
suuabble over the design for the silver
dollar:
A member of the house from the
south bitterly opposed the choice OF
the eagle Oh the ground of it's being
the "king of Birds" and hence neither
proper nor suitable TO represent q
nation whose institutions and interests
were wholly inimical to monarchical
forms of government. Judge Tbacher
in reply playfully suggested that per-
haps a goose might suit the gentleman,
as it was rather a humble and republi'
can bird, and would also be servicable
in other respects, as the goslings would
answer to place upon the dimes.
This reply created considerable mer-
rinent, and the irate southerner, con-
sidering the humorous rejoinder an in
suit, sent challenge to the judge, who
promptly declined it. The bearer,
rather astonished, asked, "Will you be
branded as a coward ?"
"Certainly, if he pleases," replied
Thacher. II always was one, and he
knew it, or he would never have
risked a challenge"
The affair occasioned much mirth ;
but finally cordial relations were re.
stored, the irritable southerner con-
cluding there was nothing to be gain
ed in fighting one who fired nothing
but iokes.-Youth's Companion.

KILL OR CURE.

"There can scarcely be a doubt that
the treatment of Washington's last
illness by the doctors was little short OF
MURDER" says Mr.. Paul Ford in "The
True George Washington" Those
were the days of the "kill or cure"
treatment, when strong plasters, jalap
and bleeding, the universal remedies,
left little hope for patients who could
not withstand both drugs and disease.
Prof. John Fiske write in his "Vir-
ginia and her Neighbors" that when
Washington, in full vigor, found that
he had caught bad cold, he sent for

NOT A BITER.-A sportsman went
out fishing on a Highland loch, his
companion being the estate keeper,
Sandy Mckay. The gentleman proved
rather unsuccessful with his rod, and,
after persevering for couple of hours,
he said:
~ think we may as we'll 60 home,
now, Sandy; the trout won't bite to-
day."
When they went ashore the sports
man offered the keeper some sherry,
which that functionary declined.
"I've got no whisky" said the gen.
tleman. "What is your objection to
drop of sherry ?"
"Weel," replied sandy, "ifye maun
ken, it's the same objection as We hae
tae the troot the day-it Wilma bite" "

NAMING A LIMIT.

While waiting at the depot noticed
a colored man look into the room sew
eral times, and he finally beckoned
to the African who had just filled the
water cooler to come outside. The
latter took a coupling pin with him as
he left the room, and strolled out to
see what was up.
"Look- heah, Abraham" said the
first, as the two came together, IL has
cum down heah prepared to hurt yo'

"Better look out fur me, sab ~ re-

The man with the coupling pin was
the smallest of the two, and but for
being armed with that weapon would
have been assaulted at once. The big
gest man didn't quite like the looks OF
things, but he felt bound to retire hon
orably, and after walking around and
finding the other constantly on guard,
he said:

"Tolerably busy"
