IF AFFLICTED WITH RHEUMATISM
You May BE Glad to Know There Are
l.A37 Remedies.

1,A37 Remedies.
The latest computation of the num-
ber of distinctly rheumatism cures
puts it at 1,437. 1t is one of the pc
culiarities of rheumatism that the
cures prescribed for it are more nu-
merous even than the varieties of
the ailment itself.
A brief enumeration of remedies in
c1udes horsechestnuts. wintergreen
tablets, electric rings, magnetic watch
charms. red flannel bandages-white
flannel is considered of no efficacy
goats milk. calisaya, horse-hair poul-
tices, raw onions carried in coat pock-
cts and ice cream soda.
These are only few of the best
known remedies, and do not include
several which owe their fame to COM
binations of sundry ingredients. One
old-Sashioned cure is made up of a
pint of old ale and a small measure of
grated horseradish put in a jar or
demijohn and allowed to stand over
night, after which a glass is drunk
before each meal.
In favor of many of the established
whimsical rheumatism remedies 1t is
to be said that they are unusually
palatable, can be bought cheaply and
are generally harmless, recalling in
this particular the case of the patient
for whom rock and rye was prescribed
and who declared that it did him
great benefit-eveH with the candy left
out
rheumatism appears in SO many
forms, it affiicts SO many persons, it
is so readily connected with weather
conditions, and the knowledge of its
causes is so indefinite and on some
points SO much disputed that the pro-
vocation to give remedies for rheuma-
tism is readily understood, though this
fact does not moderate the general
conviction of acute sufferers from
rheumatism that the remedies offered
them constitute an aggravation Of the
disease.

The other day in New York a man
named Boyle had an experience that it
is better to read about than &c
through. He was working at a man
hole. when the ladder gave way. He
fell into the sewer. and was carried
for more than q mile underground il
a torrent of water that ran like a mill
race, in absolute darkness and deluged
with mud and slime and all manner oi
filth. He was dashed against brick
walls, wellnigh overwhelmed with dirt
that was emptied over him from side
sewers. and finally he was pitched into
the East River and was fished out by
a bargeman. Doyle's own account of
the matter is interesting, and the chiei
fact is that he never gave up. Il kept
a-swimmin' was his Succinct way OF
putting it, and even when he found
himself in the middle of the East
River. half unconscious, he kept a.
swimmin" One must confess to a good
deal of admiration for a man who, un-
der such circumstances, in about as
hopeless a condition as a human being
could possibly find himself, though still
keep in the game.-May Woman's

MEERsCHAUM is NOT EXPENSIVE
Cost Depends Largely in Carving of
Pipes.

day spoiled the proprietor's stock Of

minds, that the commodity is very ex-
pensive Meerschaum itself is not
very expensive. That used by the
manufacturers in this country is i'm
ported as a raw material from Austria.
and most Of it is obtained in Asia
Minor.
Usually there are three or four diff
ferent grades. running from the rough
and mixed to the pure and finely
grained article. There is no duty upon
it. The chunks. not unlike camel coal

about two feet and a half long, a foot

rial is quite brittle and has to be soak
ed in water before it is used for model
ing.
Meerschaum pipes are expensive be-
cause much of the material from
which the bowls are made has to be
thrown away before a piece is found
that has no flaws in it. The shavings
however. are never wasted. They are

The Enduring Pie.

The young women at the University
of indianapolis coutended in a debate
with the young men that pie is not
of greater service to mankind than

will feel shame that they should have
decried the value of pie. When there
are big bills for spring hats and spring
dresses to be paid, they Will fill their
