When the natives Of Paraguay drink
tea they do not pour it from teapot
into cup, but fill goblet made out Of
a pumpkin or gourd and then suck up
the hot liquid through a long reed.
Moreover, the tea which they use is al
together different from that which
comes from China, being made out of
dried and roasted leaves Of a palmlike
plant which grows in Paraguay and
southern Brazil. The natives say that
this tea is an excellent remedy for fe-
yer and rheumatism, and chemical
tests which have been made by Ger
man physicians seem to show that there
is good ground for this statement. Ger

One Recommendation.

The members of political party in a
certain county were holding a conven-
ton to nominate candidate for treas
urer. The leading aspirant was man
who had formerly been noted as base
ball player. He had made q great rec
ord as batsman, but was VIGOROUSLY
slow in running bases
The man who had placed him in NOM
ination made speech eulogizing him
as a man and a citizen. He was fol-
lowed by others in the same vein, and
things seemed to be going smoothly
enough when one of the delegates rose
and said:
''Mr Chairman, are good men SO
scarce that we have to choose a base
ball player for the most important Of
fee in the county, involving the han
ding Of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars"
"Mr. Chairman" replied the original
mover, cit is true that the candidate I
have mentioned was ball player, but
let me ask you, Mr. Chairman, is there
q man here who ever saw him steal
even a base?'

Diseases of the Seasons.

Physicians say that certain diseases
follow the changing seasons with al
most clockwork regularity. Thus acute
rheumatism prevails from February
till April, infiammations of the lungs
from March till May, stomach and in
testinal complaints in August and
cholera from August to October. On
this basis some hygienists classify dis
eases into summer, fall. winter and
spring diseases. This classification is
supported by many facts which show
that weather changes really exert pow
orful influences upon health and dis
ease. TO cope successfully with these
changes and their harmful influences
daily exercise in the open air in all
kinds of weather and at all seasons of
the year is the best preparation. This
toughens the system and is at once
prevention and cure.

''watchtower." from the middle Eng
