rELL-rALE CLAY PIPES.
Prove That People Smoked Long Before
Raleigh's Day.

A vast number Of clay pipes have
seem to prove that they were deposited
long before Raleigh's birth; and a
pipe of early date Is so utterly unlike
the modern form that these could not
have been dropped by laborers of the
present day. At an antiquarian meet
ing many years ago an old gentleman
told how his grandfather used to give
him coppers for wading the Pool Dam
at Observation-Disclosures to gather
''buck-bane," which the veteran smok-
ed to relieve asthma. That reminfs-
cence carries us back a century and a
half, and it is probable that buckbane
had been used for asthma time out
of mind" If people were already ia
miliar with the practice Of smoking
herbs we should have an explanation
of the astonishing rapidity with which
they took to tobacco. 1t may be noted
that Cartier found the Indians of
Hochelaga, on the st. Lawrence. smok-
ing an herb which we recognize from
his description as lobelia, as we'll as
tobacco. His sailors did not care for
the latter, but the former met with
their approval from the first: for 1t
was 'as good as drink" to them. The
medicine men smoked lobelia before
prophesying, and under its effect they
raved. Has this property of the weed
been tested by the savants?-London

tried by a celebrated man named Fran
els Darwin. On this plate l have a
pill box full of fine gravel, another
filled with finely chopped raw meat, the
third holds raw white of egg, and this
one has in 1t small chips of wood. Now,
Eva, take very small pinch of sand,
sprinkle few grains on this leaf. and
tell me what you see. Don't push,
children. There Is plenty of room for
every one. as l said before. will

you can divide up into two parties.

Quite right. You see. we cannot
cheat this plant 1t knows what suits
1t and what does not, and it is neither
so ignorant nor foolish as to eat gravel
which 1t could not possibly digest.
Now ! offer third leaf on each plant

again refuse to have anything to do
with 1t; and, last Of all, see how these
same leaves which refused not a mo-

Raising the Dead.

London Mail: The newspapers are
commenting upon a reported case of
Professor Tuffier, in which 1t is said he
restored dead man to life by opening
the thorax and manipulating the heart.
The report Is naturally more startling
to the lay mind chan to the medical
reade". for we well know that until
certcn chemic changes take place in
vital tissues, they are not absolutely
and functionally dead beyond the DOS
sibility of resuscitation. Many physi-
clans can recall cases Of revival after
apparetn dissolution, by continued ar
tificial respiration, injection of stimu-
lants or saline solutions, or some other
measure Of the kind. Prof. Tuffier's
case is. nevertheless, If correctly re-
ported. striking one, and may rank
as justifiable physiologic experiment
on the human subject.

Winter Park, Fla. Sept 15-Despite the
cry of hard times all over Orange county,
this place is holding its own bravely, and
the outlook for the coming season was new

our superb location for winter residence

most attractive in the Plant System. We
are about half way between the Gulf and

plenty of clear water lakes all about u.s.

been many the new corners more than fill

which opens with a large increase of pu-
pills, has brought several families here to
enjoy our superior advantages for educat-

The Plant System seems to be using the
South Florida division largely for freight
traffic since purchasing the Jacksonville,
Tampa and Key West Railway, and "dou-
bbe-headers" are now of frequent occur
renee. 1t is something new to our people
to see so many long freight trains pulled
by two locomotives, and the impression
prevails that somebody must be doing a
big business somewhere.
