IF AFFLICTED WITH RHEUMATISM
You May BE Glad to Know There Are
1,437 Remedies.


The latest computation of the num-
ber of distinctly rheumatism cures
puts it at 1437. 1t iH one Of the pc
Guliarities 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

tablets, electric rings, magnetic watch

goats milk, callsaya, horse-hair poul-'
ticRs, raw onions carried in coat pock-
cts and ice cream soda.
These are only a few Of the best
known remedies, and do not includi
several which owe their fame to COM
binations of sundry ingredients. One
old-fashioned cure is made up Of
pint of old ale and small measure Of
grated horseradish put in a jar OF
demijohn and allowed to stand over
night, after which a glass is drunk
before each meal.
In favor of maly of the established
whimsical rheumatism remedies it lie
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

Rheumatism appears in so many
forms, 1t afflicts so many persons, II
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

Hooks and eyes have way of coming

the teachers, and some mothers failed
to find time to replace the forbidden
buttons with the troublesome hooks

the inside have been resorted to.
In many cases the small girls have TO

Raisin1 Walking Canas.

Many acres in the west Of England
and the midlands are devoted to ash
beds, planted for the growth of walk
ing sticks. For this purpose the young
plants are set not vertically, as they
are in plantations for hop and pes
sticks, but are laid horizontally. Many
OF these plantations belong to small
farmers, or are leased by men EN-
ployed in other work The only WORK
necessary is to keep the ground well
hoed and clean from weeds, and iI
four years the sticks are ready fol
cutting. An acre will then yield from
$3.50 to $3.50 worth of sticks, which are
cut, tied in faggots and sent to a stick

Payne the appointment of fourth
class postmasters has been taken out

a fourth-class postmaster is not now

another so long as the first ap-
