Old Time Remedies.

Strange as il may seem TO some. the
ingredients of the witches caldron in
Macbeth" at least a part Of them.
were once standard remedies among
Europeans. In the tenth and eleventh
centuries n sovereign cure for ague
was the swallowing OF a 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 n toad or
4 frog. Physicians frequently recon-
mended the water from toad's brain
for mental affections and that a live
toad be rubbed over the diseased parts
as a cure for the quinsy.

DISCRIMINATING LADIES.
Enjoy UGinE HerpIcide on Account OF

The ladies who have used Newbro's
Herpicide speak of il in the highest
terms. for its quick effect in cleansing
the scalp Of dandruff and also for its ex-
cellence as a general Embarrassing It
makes the scalp feel fresh and it allays
that itching which dandrufs will cause.
Newbro's Herpicide effectively cures
dandruh as it destroys the germ that
causes il. The same germ causes hair t.
fail out and later badness; in killing #
HerpIcide stops falling hair and prevents
badness. II is also an ideal hair dress

the hair that is quite distinctive. Sold

A Neat RetOrt.

Dean Farrar soon after he went to
st. Margaret's, Westminster, was din
ing at Professor Jowett's and toward
dessert took up the parable against
Dives. His voice rose higher and
higher, he spread silence around him,
and he was heard laundering out:
'What / complain of as a clergyman
is that 1 have to Go what no layman
has to do. l have to beg and beg in
vain. Fashionable ladies come ito my
church glittering with precious gems,
and yet they will not sacrifice one dia-
mond from their grand tiaras in order
to save some erring sister from de-
struction." When he finished the ST.
lence grew sultry. All the hearers
looked glOomily at their plates Then
JOwett, who had been looking as
though he meant mischief, squeaked
out, What, 1 object to as clergyman
is that / have to exagSerate so!'-St.
James Gazette.

AN EARLY AIRSHIP.
1t Was Built In England In 1885, but
Was Failure.

We are told by Peter Farley, who
wrote as an eyewitness, that in Au-
gust, 1885, the Eagle was officially adj
vertised to sail from London with gov
eminent dispatches and passengers for
Paris and to establish direct communi-
cation between the capitals of Europe
This early type Of airship was 100
feet long, so feet high and 40 feet
wide, and she lay in the dockyard of
the Aeronautical society in Victoria
road, near Kensington gardens, then
quite rural spot.
Built to hold an abundant supply of
gas, she was covered with oiled lawn
and carried frame seventy-five feet
long and seven feet high, with cabin
secured by ropes to the balloon. An
immense rudder and wings Or fins on
each side for purposes of propulsion
completed her fittings. The deck was
guarded by netting.
After all this preparation and adver-
tisement the Eagle never got beyond
