she commenced with our family physi-
clan in April, 1898, she weighed about
$780, but kept going down all the time
She went to Atlanta, Co., and took
treatment, but it did her no good. Then
she went to Harmony Grove, Ga, and
took treatment from the best physician
there for three months. She kept going
down under his treatment, although he
was considered the best physician in
the county. She went down from 100
pounds to IS, and we saw she could not
live long. She was a skeleton We con-
suited an old physician who told her 20

How I'd serve Rhubarb.


Rhubarb is eaten as a fruit. though it
belongs to the vegeta bIes. As its food
value is very small. it is esteemed more
for its diuretic properties and agreeable
flavor.
While native of Europe it is little
known there as a food. its uses being
principally medicinal In this country it
is more universally used for the table.
though we do not generally recognize its
possibilities in the way of supplying a
great variety of -appetizing dishes raost
of US are familiar with only it in the form.
of rhubarb pie or sauce.
ITS WHOLESOMENE
While some authorities consider it sIT-
fit for food. there are others who advocate
its use, and considering its medicinal vir-
tues deem it q very worthy plant to add
to our list Of edible yegeta bIes.
The objection to its Use lies in the fact
that it contains a large amount of 0xaIic
acid. and this acid IS less wholesome than
the other fruit acids
There are some conditions of the body
in which it IS wise to avoid eating rhu-
barb or its klndreds SOrrel or tomatoes
or such plants as abound in oxaEic com
pounds therefore. persons suffering from
acidity should cat of these substances
very sparingly and in some aggravated
cases. not at all
The red variety is the richest in flavor
and should be used for making wine IL
you desire a rich quality.
Rhubarb will make a delicious wine
which is said to so closely resemble cham

Some Important Acquisitions and

Few persons are aware of the great
and important work that is being done
in our, national museum and of the
great changes that have been carried
out in its management under the ener-
getic regime of Sir Edward Maunde
Thompson. The museum of today is
very different from that of twenty years
ago. Order now exists where chaos for
merly reigned supreme. And above all
the collections have been so arranged
as to permit of their being studied by
those interested in any special section
of research The visitor to the museum
can now study his special section, aided
in most cases by cerfully prepared
guide book and with the exhibits so ar
ranged as to enable him to pass in reg
ular sequence the best examples of the
subject under study. This is especially
the case in the department of Oriental
antiquities, where the work of rear
ranging the collection has now been al
most completed. During the last year
several important additions have been
made to this section.
Among the most important is the fine
example of prehistoric burial from
the pre-dynastic Egyptian-a fair
haired, light-skinned race, probably of
Lybian origin; and the shallow grave,
with its pots and first weapons. has
at Gebelen. Such an exhibit is most
important for the study of the begin
nings of Egyptian civilization. TO the
same period belong the fine collection
of flint knives, several specimens of the
wavy-fiaked type being exhibited, as
Well as arrow heads and scrapers. The
collection has also been enriched by a
selection of objects from the graves of
kings of the first and second dynasties,
obtained by Prof. Petrie from the royal
lambs at Abydos. Among the exhibits
may be noted some fine examples of the
curious clay shoppers for jars, impressed
with seal impressions of Mezriot, as well

The Boni de Castellanes are keeping

is told of a certain society wag who saw
the white clad menials for the first time

sixteen years. No lady of the White

Mrs. Madison never forgot the name of a
person she had once met. She always
recollected every incident of consequence
connected with the history Of every per-
son presented to her, thus making every
one feel that he held high place in her
esteem. In this way she disarmed much
of the hostility to the weak administra-
ton of Madison and won him many
friends whose support was of the highest
value to him and to the country during
the tempestuous days of the troubles be-
tween the United States and England
