Old Time Remedies.

Strange as it may seem to some, the
ingredients of the witches caldron in
Macbeth" at least part of them,
were once standard remedies among
Europeans. In the tenth and eleventh
centuries a sovereign cure for ague
was the swallowing of small toad
that had been chicken to death on st.
Johns eve, and splendid remedy for
rheumatism was to fasten the bands
of clothing with pins that had been
stuck into the flesh of either toad or
frog. Physicians frequently recon-
mended the water from toad's brain
for mental affections and that live
toad be rubbed over the diseased parts
as cure for the quinsy.

BISHOPS TAKE ACTION
ADOPT AMENDMENT FoRsIppINe
REMARRlAGE OF DIVORCES.


ties Will Recede, However-clause
is Practically Same as One Reject.
ed By Them Last Week.
Boston, Oct 1s.-The house Of
bishops, one of the legislative bodies
of the Episcopal general convention,
adopted an amendment to the canon
on marriage and divorce forbidding
the remarriage of any divorced per.
son. The amendment was substan.
TALLY the same as that which was re-
jected by the house of deputies on
Friday last. The action of the bish-
ops was not unexpected, as the senti.
ment of that body was well known.
In fact, similar amendment was
passed at the San Francisco conven.
ton three years ago, but failed, as
was the case this year, to secure the
support of the other house. A confer.
ence of committees representing the
bishops and the deputies will be held
to consider the disagreement, but
leading clergymen do not anticipate
that the deputies will recede from
their vote OF last week.
In the house of deputies proposed
canon providing court of review, to
which appeals may be taken from the
decisions of diocesan courts, was re-
ported and its essential features
adopted, though several minor pro-
visions went over. Among these was
one grouping the dioceses and mis-.
sionary districts into seven provinces.
each province to have a court of it's
own. A proposal to establish a court
of appeals, a sort of supreme court,
to be composed of the bishops of the
church, was referred to the next con-
vention.
