Lemons for Rheumatism.

The idea of treating rheumatism
with lemon juice appears to have had
its rise in Germany. The method
consists of swallowing the juice OF one
lemon on the first day, and two on the
second day, and so on progressive up
to twenty-five lemons. When this
limit is reached the number OF lemons
is progressively diminished.
M. Desplats Of Lille. has recently
adopted this treatment with some of
his patients who are suffering from
articular rheumatism. In one case the
patient was able to drop the treatment
at three lemons. In another he sue
ceeded in effecting cure at twenty.
five lemons so complete and SO per-
sistent that at the end of ten months
the patient had not once had an at
tack, whereas previously he had suf-
fered periodically every month. The
third case was one of ankylosis, so
bad that the patient could not dress
himself without help. To-day he has
almost entirely recovered the use of
his limbs and is free from pain.

To Bottle Peas.

Gather the peas on warm, dry
day, shell them, and gather out the
finest and evenest-carefully rejecting
any in the least blemished- them
into wide-mouthed bottles (the pat
cnt-stoppered bottles are the best),
and screw down the shoppers as tight
ly as possible. Wrap these bottles in
hay or old clothes Ito prevent their
knocking together when the water
boils), and set them in boiler or
large fish kettle, with cold water w to
the shoulder Of the bottle; bring this
water we'll to the boil, then draw 1t To
the side of the stove, and keep it al
this boiling point for about two hours,
keeping the pan covered all the time
Now lift the pan from the fire, or bet
ter still if on gas ring, turn off the
gas, and leave the bottles untouched
till perfectly cold, when they should
be dried, the shoppers frightened down
as closely as possible, or If corked dip
the head of the bottle in bottle wax.
Store in a cool, dry place, and, If pro
lerly done, they will keep till the next

Some of the Difficulties Which Con.
front Butler.
1t is really hard on the servants, and
there should be a prescribed style of
dress, that butler may know when a
caller Is not caller and when and
when not entitled to be shown into the
drawing room. A wealthy Harlem
woman has been entertaining guests
from the tropics this summer. 1t
might be from the South Sea islands,
but it's not, and it would never do to
tell just the locality from which they
are islanders of some kind. There
have come from their islands from
time to time quite number of people
who have settled in New York, but
while they are in the great metropolis
they are not of it, and their general
appearance betokens something of the
carelessness of the tropics. If they
should wear the native dress of South
Sea islanders it would be all right
once seen, there would be no mistak-
ing them-but, as it is, their appear
ance is merely-well, little odd.
So it happened the other day that
there marched up to the front en-
trance of the Harlem woman's man.
sion a stout lady with lordly bearing,
somewhat gayly dressed, asked for
the island ladies, and John ushered her
obsequiously into the drawing room,
only to be sharply reproved later.
John" said his mistress, don't
you know better than to take laun-
dress into the drawing room?"
Poor John blushed to the roots Of
his hair as he stammered, in great dis
tress:
"As 'ow could l know, madam; as
ow could know, when she came In
with more of hair than them bother
ladies?"

the male line, leaving plain Alfred
Douglas Hamilton the dukedom. The
late duke whose mother was princess

Princess Monaco, left an only daugh-

almost the whole of Arran, which is
one of the most beautiful spots in the

There Is Good Demand ABROAD TOR

That American horseflesh is rap
idly growing in favor in foreign mar
kets statistics proved. Within the last
six years Great Britain alone spent
s35, 100000 in the United States in
the purchase of horses, independent
of the many millions which she spent
for mules. Last year not less than
$4,000 horses were shipped from this
country to England.
Until 1895 the expectation of horses
from the United States was not an
important item, but since then it has
grown into something enormous, and
Great Britain is only one of the many
foreign countries whose recognition
of the superiority of American horse
flesh is attested by large purchases.
During the last six years American

two women picked themselves up, ap-
parently none the worse, and seemed
quite pleased that they had managed
to leave the train within an easy dis
lance of their homes.
Swiss women have the reputation OF
having good skins, and the following
is said to be one Of the simple little
recipes in vogue for preserving the
complexion: "The Juice OF melons and
cucumbers, the petals Of lilies of the
valley, green peas, four ounces of pow
dered fine white sugar, one ounce cam
phor, one ounce Of borax, little wild
chickpry, few bryony roots, the
crumbs of three rolls, dash of bur-
rage, a pint of white wine, and the
stewed flesh of six young pigeons"
The concoction needs twenty-one days
to distil, at the end of which period
you will, If you mixed the ingredients
properly, possess the true secret OF

DELIGHTS OF SUMMER SCHOOL.

the Season.
A number of small boys who were
at a summer school and have now
gone back to their regular classes are
disguised with school life. They had
such delightful time in the summer
that the work now seems drudgery
compared with it. The particular
boys under consideration were intro
duced to the workshop where manual
training was in progress for the first
time during the summer That being
the case, it was not strange that
there were occasional accidents, and
this was from many points of view
an altogether satisfactory state of af
fairs, for next door to the work room
was the girls class for first aid to
the injured There were imaginary
cases in the first part of the work,
but it was not long before the boys
In the workroom fell one after the
other like wounded heroes, and were
taken across the way 10 be treated
by the amateur surgeons. No one
will ever know whether that class of
boys was unusually stupid, or wheth-
er the first aid to the injured workers
we're so remarkably skillful that it
was pleasure to sit under their min
istrations. Whichever it was, it hap
pened that there was seldom a day
in which some boy was not brought
in for treatment, and one day there
were seven patients from the work
shop. 1t was delightful practice for
the girl workers, and the teacher was
even able to give them practical in
stead of theoretical lesson upon
cleaning up blood spots from the floor.
OF course, after such interesting
practical demonstrations as this, the
routine school work seems tame.
