Doctors Experiences.


DR.. 7. Griffith, of this place, besides
being an excellent physician, is filled
with the milk of human kindness 'alf-
an-'alf composed of a prediction for
solemnity in grave matters and relish
for all the fun that may develop from
affairs not alarming. In his practice
he frequently encounters reports from
his patients of remedies for their par
ticular troubles which cured some ten
der-hearted friend-remedies evolved
from the illimitable mcterta medica of
the ever-tO-be-rev grandmother
element of society. These are pro-
posed to the doctors patients in all
seriousness, and by these to the doctor
suggestlvely of possible miscOnception
of the trouble and error on his part IN
not prescribing properly in the first
place. Here are examples;
First Fiiend-Feeling run down, ELI Now,
take my advice-tie a boiled onion between
your eyes; it's the only thing that will cure
you.
Second Frie"d-My boy, what you want to
do is to put cold poker down your back I'M
der your shirt, and paint your arm with
lampblack. It's the only remedy that's any
good.
Ihid FtieHd-Oh know what's wrong,
my boy My mother said that sunfowers
tied around the waist and lump of butter
on the head We're the best things in the world
for it.
FO"rH Fricnd-In all my experience
never knew orange peel wrapped around the
knee to fail to cure.
lIVc-Yes, John, dear, all these things may
he good, but there is nothing like this tonic
my grandmother used to make of vinegar,
sulphur, henzine, sugar, zinc rust and cob
webs. Now, take some, darling.
The moral is--leave your case in
your physicians hands.
To thy ineXpert remedies is for the
patient to complicate, embarrass and
defeat his physicians treatment and
incur positive danger to himself.

SUGAR AS OLD AS THE WORLD.
pese Hundreds of years BE-
fore Christ.

Sugar was known 10 the Chinese and
used by them as early as 1900 II. e. Thi.
statement rests on tradition partly, but
II is historical fact that during the
Tsin dynasty, about 200 years u. G.
the article was well known and was
manufactured in relatively consider
able quantities in China. Students OF
ancient Hindoo history and industries
claim the discovery for the East In
dians, but IL is much more probable that
in this, as in many other inventions
ascribed TO the Hindoos and the Jap.
anese, the knowledge came TO them
from China originally. and was sub.
sequently returned TO China, where, In
the meantime, the art had been lost OF
forgotten.
The claim of the honor for the Hin.
docs rests on the fact that the eNpedi-
ton under Nearchus, sent out by Alex
ander the Great about 325 Il. c. to ex-
plore the Indus and the adjacent re-
gions, on its return TO Greece report
ed that they had found people who,
from cane and without the interven-
lions of bees, made honey (sirup or
molasses?). This is the earliest his
torical mention of sugar among the
people of the west" 1t appears TO
have been utterly unknown TO the Egyp-
tians, Babylonians, Chaldeans, Jews
and the Greeks prior TO the event mem
toned above. Galen, the physician and
pharmacologist, who hourished and
wrote l4O-190 Il. C., prescribed sugar as
a remedy in certain cases.
In England sugar seems to have re-
manned almost unknown, except to the
learned, until after the discovery of
America. 1t was so costly a luxury that
in l45S IL is of record that lady, the
wife Of very rich gentleman. besought
her husband. as the richest gift that
he could bring her, on his homecoming
from the metropolis, TO fetch her IA
pound of sugar. Even at the begin
ming of the eighteenth century Great
Britain consumed but about IL ,OOO, 900
uses more than a hundred times that
amount.
The method of purifying or refining
sugar was introduced into England in
1859, though the art had been known
in Constantinople for several hundred
years, il having been discovered, or in
vented, by the Arabs, who kept it a
close secret, which was finlly learned
by those ubiquitous wanderers ami
traders, the Nenetians, who, IL is saii,
learned il of the Sicilian Saracens in ex-
change for goods, the market value Of

GENUINE GRATITUDE.
VIII he Hard 20 Find a
Mate For.

Once while a Man was eating his
Breakfast on a summer morning he saw
an Unfortunate Fly stuck fast in the
Butter.
His first idea was to let il Die by the
Point of His Knife, but being in the
main a Kind-Hearted Man better
thoughts came to him, and he decided
TO Save its Life.
So this Kind, Good Man tenderly re-
moved the Fly, gently scraped the but
ter of its Little Legs, carefully wiped
its Wings with his table napkin, and,
softly stroking its little Back, set it at
Liberty.
That night the Fly woke Him.
There was burglar!
He was just putting the last of the
Family Silver into his Basket. prepare
tory to carrying il away; but when he
saw the Owner he dropped his Plumber
and fed through the Open Window.
The Fly, which had followed the Man
downstairs, buzzed triumphantly over
the Basket and then settled confidently
upon his Hand.
And, looking at il closely, the Man, by
certain Shiny Look that fingered yet
about its Body, saw that II was the
same Fly that he had rescued from the
Butter.
He had Spared its Life, and in graft
tude IL had Saved his Silver.
