off than were princes and noblemen 70

much an object of curiosity for its sin
gularity in her day as it is now for its

Take six to ten onions, according to
size, and chop fine; put In a large spi-
der over hot fire, then add about the
same quantity of rye meal and vinegar
enough to make it thick paste. In
the meanwhile stir it thoroughly, let
ting it simmer five or ten minutes.
Then put in a cotton bag large enough
to cover the lungs and apply it to the
chest as hot as the patient can bear.
When it gets cool, apply another and
thus continue by relocating the poul-
tees. In few hours the patient will
be out of danger.
This simple remedy has never failed
in this too often fatal malady.
Usually three or four applications
will be sufficient, but continue always
until perspiration starts freely from
the chest.
This simple remedy was formulated
many years ago by one of the best ply
sicians New England has ever known,
who never lost patient by this dis
ease and won his renown by saving
persons by simple remedies after the
best medical talent had pronounced
their cases hopeless. Personally we
know of three persons who were saved
by the remedy last winter in Boston
after their physicians had given them
up to die, and if record was made OF
all similar cases during the last six
years it would fill a good sized vol
ume.-'"The Worlds Progress"

A Savage Publisher,

The late ]. Scbabelitz, the famous
Zurich publisher and author, was a
shrewd business man, an excellent lin
guist, skillful writer and probably
the most savage publisher who ever
lived. When he accepted the famous
memoirs of Count Won Arnim, he wrote
on the postal card with the acceptance
the proviso, Il reserve the right to cor
rect your Internally bad grammar"
To an aspiring poet who had sub
mitted manuscript he answered by
postal card: 81 refuse to be disgraced
by printing your doggerel. | don't re-
turn the copy because you didn't in
close enough postage. If you will send
it, with the price Of this card, will
send it to you, but | don't think the
stuff is worth the expense on your
part"
One of his postal cards to novelist
read about as follows: "For heavens
sake, come and take away the unnam-
able mass of paper you left here for
me to look atY'

Anc,ent Cattle and Butcherlng.

The earliest records of Egypt depict
a butcher cutting up an OK, exactly as
it is done today outside of the great
slaughtering establishments, with a
knife that he sharpened upon steel
that hung at his side and providing
cuts of meat precisely like ours.
They used leather, and they did better
tanning than we do; the blood, instead
of being processed into fertilizing, was
used for cooking purposes, and our
Spanish friends never see better bull
fight than was daily purveyed for the
delectation of those ancient sports"
A little later in the worlds history
we find records of tricks being played
In the cattle trade, for do not some
historians aver that Jacob exercised
undue influence upon the cows Of La
bans herds as well as upon the ewes
of his f1ocks? And others tell us that

Age Told by Teeth.

''Up to the age of %, have learned,
mans mouth closes and opens like a
child's, and what teeth are displayed
are the upper ones. At 80 the lower

are as much shown as the upper teeth.
at 80 the tops or edges of the lower
teeth are blunt, but they are still white.
At "a the upper teeth don't show at all.
The lower ones edges then are pale

''And so on, as the years go by, the
lower lip droops more and more, the

delightful l also liked his honest face

was rather shy and slow to cast of all

the floor was giving way under me, but

Sweet eyes Of blue, as greet you tonight,
Reading your love in its tenderest light,

Giving me courage and strength In the strife,
Smoothing the trials and tangles of life,
Free me from fear as forge in the fight,
Sweet eyes of blue as greet you tonight.
Sweet little comforter, smoothing the ways
Drowning each triumph of mine with your praise,
What shall bring to you. sing to you, dearf
Never a sorrow and never a tear.
Needs OF forgiveness whenever err,
That am faulty doth never occur,
Pray that Away l may cleave to the right,
Sweet eyes Of blue as greet you tonight.
Sweet eyes Of blue, what strength in the strife,
Banishing ills that encompass my life.
Fashioning hopes for the years yet to be.
Beaming wealth of devotion for me.
Thankful am for their message true.
All things made happy and just for US twoi
Long may linger in love and in light,
Sweet eyes OF blue as / greet you tonight

BFunhilda. shadows touched Of sunlight seem
To Turk within the musing maiden eyes
Below the depths, where, unexplored, there lies
As in a sleep, dim remembered dream
OF autumn dusks along ancient stream
Which in old Norseman forests had its rise
And murmuring seward under brooding skies,
Shot far upon the sea its silver CLEAN
The wind swept German sea, mist blown and gray,
Wherein thy viking fathers, sons Of war,
Sought the bold tempest as a boy his play,
Exultant in the elemental roar
OF wind and wave and warriors battle fray
Bequeathing life to thee in primal storei

FROM HAND TO MOUTH.

They give me maxims old and new
To bid me mend my ways
And save enough to see me through
All of my mortal days.
And since now have prudent grown
My duty 'tis-no less
To chide In no uncertain tone
Dame Natures recklessness.
Think, madam, of the sunshine rich
You squandered when twas June;
Think OF the blossom treasures which
Lay whitening meath each noon.
The miser bee quaffs in his lair
The sweets which once you spread,
And you, what have you for your share
With bloom and sunshine fed9
A little winter with its woe,
A little want and pain,
And summers smile again viii glow
Beyond the April rain.
Your deep breath signs sad ''alas,"
Yet, when tits June once more,
You'll feast each wanderer who may pass,
A spendthrift as Of yore.
