QUEER :
DRUGS :

The Chinese physician employs
strange and wonderful means for the
recovery of his patient, and the list
of medicines in vogue with the Celes-
tials will doubtless open the eyes OF
many an Occidental practitioner.
For instance, cantharides is con-
sidered sure cure for hydrophobia;
the fruit of cardamon is supposed to
increase knowledge by strengthening
the stomach, which organ the Chinese
identity with a persons disposition
and mental capacity: the dried skin
of certain kind of orange Is used as
sedative: dried aloe flowers are used
in pulmonary affections. and are also
employed in cookery as a tonic or rel
ish. The honeysuckle is given in
cases of rheumatism, and the dogbane
in diseases of the kidneys.
Almonds are sedatives in the Chi
nese pharmacopoeia and cassia buds
tonic and astringent. Melon seeds
are taken for coughs. colds and asth-
ma, while the morning-glory root is
used in severe dyspepsias. Pumpkins
are believed to possess soothing prop
critics and are used in cases of COLES.
spasms, etc. Quite number of vege-
tables are considered cures for con-
sumption and remittent fever. The
undershell of the land turtle lis taken
as decoction by the aged and weak
and is used generally as a stimulant,
as is also the mustard seed. To OLE
anders are attributed rejuvenating and
highly nutritive qualities. One vege-
table, with an unpronounceable Chi
nese name, is employed to work on
the effect of drunkenness.
Fragments Of fossil crabs, crushed
and powdered, are considered a spe-
cific in affections Of the eye. Rhubarb
is Indigenous to China, and in former
times Canton was the only port from
which the drug was exported. The
Chinese dig the roots early in the
spring, before the leaves appear, cut
them into long, fat pieces, dry them
for two or three days In the shade,
and then string them on cords. Tu-
meric is used for diseases Of the skin,

Quits. Stage for Track
Paris Letter.

Marie Louise Marsy, the well
known Partisan actress and
owner of race horses, has severed her
connection with the Coincide Fran
caise. III health is given as the reason
for her action, but it Is thought that
she desires to devote more Of her at
tention to racing than her stage duties,
would allow.
Mile. Marsy is the richest. as well as
the most admired actress In the,
French capital. She is q societaire Of
the Coincide Franchise and inherited
q large part Of the wealth Of Max Lee
baudy, the unfortunate Little Sugar
Bowl. Mile. Marsy was great friend
OF Lebaudy, who, when he was only
twenty years old, Inherited an inn
mense sugar refining property. He
spent his money at the rate of 20,000.-
900 francs year. Although Mile. Mar
BY was accused Of helping him to spend
1t, she created the impression at the
last that she was his best friend. The
old Parisians swooped down on Lee
baudy like vultures round dying
horse. They robbed him on every con-
ceivable pretext. They took money
from him to save him from serving in
the army. Then he was forced to
serve while he was i'll and he died.
Mile. Marsy nursed him in his last ILL
ness and then helped to convict some
of his blackmailers. He left large

the use of live leeches is unknown.
those animals are made into q decoc-
ton, being first put into water or

considered tonic, and being sold at

A tigers skull is regarded as a charm
against typhoid fever, ague, rheuma-

protection from the danger Of being
bitten by mad dog. Pearls are pre-
scribed in affections of the heart and

name to be- presented for renomina-

er, General Henderson, are his per-

Mr.. Allen, first won fame when he
opposed an increase in the pay of let
ter carriers, unless the same bill car
ried with it an increased appropriation
for country mail riders. The bill ia
voring the letter carriers was favored
by Sunset" Cox, who made a lengthy
speech in it's behalf; and. when the
Mississippian arose to oppose it. those
who did not know him settled them
selves in their seats and waited for Mr..
Cox to impale the new member. But
before the debate had ended Mr.. Cox
was seated, pale and breathless, with
Allen on the floor and the house in
confusion with laughter. Recognized
as humorist, name he despises be-

friends from almost the time Mr..
Cleveland entered the white house I'M
til he left it. Their introduction was
brought about over postmastership
in Mr.. Aliens district. Soon after. the
inauguration, March A, 1885, Mr.. Allen
appeared at the executive chamber
with a long list of officeholders he de-
sired removed. Among them was the
postmistress at Starksville. The in
cumbent was widow of federal SOL
Tdier, and was distantly related TO Sen
ator Hoar of Massachusetts; but she
had held the Office long time and a
number of Democrats were applicants
for the place. Mr.. Allen wanted the
Stayksville case disposed Of before the
situation became more embarrassing
than it then was.

other charges besides the fact that this
woman is the widow Of Republican?
Is she efficient as postmastress? ?"

Fisher. at Chicago.

Sporting goods men in Chicago say
that every Sunday not less than 10000
people leave the city to fish. Among all
the summer sports none is really SO
popular as angling. This is shown by
the large and constant sale Of tackle.
The department stores sell huge guam
titles of it every Saturday morning.
They also sell live bait. minnows and
frogs in wholesale lots. Some OF the
purchasers go no farther than the lake
front, but most of them seek the lakes
and streams within an hours ride on
the trolley or steam cars.
