A. Love Potion.

~ AONc TOt1Ons
One of the leading sources of income
to the old herbalist was the compound
ing Of love powders for desponden,
SWANS and heartsick maidens. If a
powder would not bring the desired re.
lief, various juices of roots and herbs
were mingled in potion and sold as
the love phial. Here is an old recipe:
"Mistletoe berries (not exceeding nine
In number) are stepped in an equal
mixtures Of wine, bee. vinegar and
honey.
"This taken on an empty stomach be.
fore going to bed will cause dreams of
your future destiny Crowded you re-
tire before ~ o'clock either on Christ
mas eve or on the first and third of a
new moon" Perhaps as a lingering
remnant of this absurdity there is a
current notion In some parts of the
world today that whole mince pie
eaten at midnight will cause the reap
pearance of long departed friends, not
to mention the family physician and
the more interested members Of the
household.

CONCERNING COATS.

sensible Hints In Regard to the Wear
and Care Of Garments.
Nov that the overcoat season is on
again." said an uptown tailor in the
course of a conversation on the care Of
clothes, zone sees the utter inability of
the average man to properly wear and
care for his garments. Jackets may
be worn anyhow without much de.
tracing from their owners appear.
ance, but overcoats, like frock coats,
require care In handling and in wear
ing. Not one man In thousand knows
how to put on his coat correctly. Ig.
norance and carelessness in disposinp
OF the garment when not in use make
the wearers Of even the best coats look
like 30 cents beside the man with q
cheaper article, but who knows how to
wear and care for it.
Men curse their tailors when after n
few days wear they find their coats
out of shape at the shoulders and
hanging badly. The art of the tailor
mas OF course great deal to do with
the appearance Of coat, but on the
customer himself much more depends,
Most men when they are being
measured and fitted assume all sorts
of unnatural pastures. They forget
that what they really want is a gar
ment to fit their ordinary shape and
not the forced figure which they pre-
sent to the tailor.
Then, again, when the new coat
comes home the owner tugs 1t on any
how and wears 1t tapping open. Every
new coat should be carefully nodded
by the wearer into the shape of his
everyday figure. He should get his
shoulders we'll into it, and in order to
arrive at that result he should have
assistance on at least the first six occa-
sions on which he wears the garment.
The coat should be carefully buttoned
downward, not the reverse, as Is so
often the case. For at least one hour
on each Of the first six days of use the
coat should be kept buttoned. 1t will
then have adjusted itself to the peculi-
arities Of the figure" = New York

PLANT IRREGULARITIES.

Tie Reason Fruit Bushes and Vines
Are Protected by Thorns.
Most persons think that the stem of
q plant grows from the roots. On the
contrary, the roots grow from the
stem. In the case Of plant that dies
down to the ground in autumn it is
not the roots that send up a new stem
tn the spring, for a part of the true
stem remains underground on the root
crown, and from it grow up the bud
bearing stems in the spring. When
"a seed terminates, 1t sends the light
loving stem upward and the dark low
ing root downward.
Saw of part of tree trunk and you
will find series Of rings from the GEN.
ter to the bark, each ring marking a
year Of growth. But these rings indi-
cate also which of the seasons through
which the tree has lived were dry and
which had plenty Of rain. The rings
are always of unequal width. The
narrow ones represent dry seasons and
the wide ones seasons when the condi-
lions Of growth were better by reason
of plentiful rain.
Every rose has it's thorn, and the
same may be said Of such fruits as
blackberries, raspberries, ETC., only
they are not real thorns, but prickles,
which strip of with the outer bark,
while thorns will not strip OF, being
hardened, undeveloped branches.
But why do bushes and vines have
prickles? Many people wonder at It,
for they see no good1eason for such a
growth. But there 10 reason, as
there lie in everything in nature. The
.prickles are given to them as pro-
lection against plant eating animals.
The stems have a pleasant, aromatic
taste, and cows and sheep would be
sure to eat them in winter, when they
crave something fresh, If it were not
tor the prickles.
