they chose any particular defense, but
because they did not know which to
choose, and SO gave the prisoner the
benefit of the doubt

HERBS GIVE WAY TO DRUGS
Vegetable Remedie of a Former Gen
Grafton No Longer Popular.

Vegetable Remedies of a Former GEN
Grafton No Longer Popular.
In the village of Greenwich, En-
gland, in a quaint old street, where the
buildings are so thick that they tangle
themselves together in a knot, there is
a queer little shop with a sign over the
door that reads, AN Herb for Every
Pain"
On the shelves of this shop are to be
found hundreds of different kinds of
herbs for the cure of all bodily all
ments. There can be found all the
old-time herbs that our grandmothers
used to have hanging around the walls
of the kitchen and stored away in the
attic, ready to be made into the teas
and sirups in case of sickness.
People who still have oldfashioned
ideas about health and sickness go
there for bugle weed. sumach. winter
green, sassafras, chamomile, hore-
hound, yellow dock, catnip, cherry
bark. mullen. extract of oats, lobelia
and so on, and so on. All these herbs
have the reputation of being good for
some one or more ailments.
Catnip for nervousness, sassafras for
the blood horehound and boneset for
colds, sumach for sore throat, winter
green for rheumatism, lobeliap-as an
emetic in case of poisoning. enullein
for consumption, etc.
Nearly all of these herbs are made
into teas. Sassafras tea, bOneset tea
and catnip tea are brewed and served
either hot or cold. Among the many
hundreds of herbs that are sold in TINS
little shop are some that are deadly
potsons. and they are labeled and sold
under the same restrictions as other
poisons.
The good old remedies that our
grandfatherS hunted and dug in the
woods, those that our grandmothers
planted and tended in the garden, have
given way to harmful remedies, to
drugs that leave the patient in a worse
condition than when he began their
use. We believe it has been a mistake
to give up the old remedies.-Medical

IN THE SUNLIGHT.

The clouds came up on a summer day,
And covered the clear blue sky;
They hid the face of the sun away,
While the sudden storm swept by;
And the stricken flowers when the fierce
wind blew
Bent low to the tempest's power;
But they smiled in spite of their tears
of dew
In the sunlight after the shower
The clouds came up when my life was
bright,
And covered the sun away.
And my heart grew chill in the sudden
night,
And longed for the vanished day;
But the clouds passed by with the sum
mer rain,
And then, like the storm-tossed flower.
My heart looked up and was glad again
