'p1ay lady" The miniature danes
with shawl trains flowing from their
pinafores, sit in fashionable attitudes,
and in fashionable accents utter the
fashionable sentiments of the moment,
stopping now and then to giggle at
the absurdity OF it ALL And the grown
ups do exactly the same, only they
have not humor enough to laugh at it.

Medicine and Ceremonial.

The physicians Of medieval Eng.
land. who were for the most part
monks, friars or Jews, possessed a
large assortment of remedies, some Of
them borrowed from the Byzantine
physicians, others from the traditional
practice Of the people. Christian ply
sfcians, however, called religion to their
aid. None of their remedies was adj
ministered without ceremonial. While
the medicine was being compounded
the patient would say twelve times
over one Of the psalms. beginning
"Miserere mel. Deus" then several
paternosters, then drink the dose and
wrap myself up warm" or he would
sing the psalm, "Salvum Me Fac.
Deus" then drink the draft out of
church bell, the priest finishing the
cure with prayer.
DR.. Creighton remarks that as the
maladies Of the middle ages contained
an unusual element of hysteria, the
ceremonial may not have come am1ss
as an aid to the treatment Physicians
gained considerable fees by their prac-
tice, which the people appear to have
grudged them. The satirical writer's
constantly accuse them of greed, but
these charges were probably owing to
the prevalence Of the idea, not yet
extinct that as medicine is from the
Lord God" the 1eech was not entitled
to money payment-London Spec

Stables In TPeeA.

In the Bahama islands there -four
ishes a tree the roots of which attain
to enormous proportions, often reach
ing to a height Of fifteen Oh twenty
feet above the surface Of the earth,
spreading In all directions, under
ground as we'll, in order to obtain sus-
tenance and give support to the trunk
and branches. On the tree grow in
Vulnerable balls Of silky cotton, pre-
sent1ng an almost fairylike appearance
as they glisten in the sunlight. They
are in great demand for stufing pill
lows, being soft as down. The spaces
formed by the roots are often quite as
large as fair sized rooms, and If rooted
over one tree would form a commo-
dious dwelling place for a family. In
fact, It would be infinitely superior
to the average native hut. Holes could
be cut in the roots to allow Of internal
communication. Up to the present,
however, the natives have not utilized
them as houses, though they are fire.

from a friend Of his youth, who COM
mented. not without feelings Of envy,
on the dtgnities and riches which the
duke, who was born in a peasants cot
tage, had acquired in many battles and
by his faithful services.

joinder, Ito hand them over to you at

The japanese have many curious
recipes for cooking seaweed, which,
with fern, is almost staple article of

seaweed are eaten. Some are soaked,
others are dried. Many Of the jap
anese and Chinese sauces are made
from seaweed. Under the name Of

NO HOME FOR HIM

A few days ago a Machanicsburg
young man, accompanied by his sister,
went into Newman's dry goods store
to purchase gift for his sweetheart
as birthday present.
Thinking a book or a box of bon
bons too common he decided to give
her a pair of gloves, and made his
purchase accordingly, while his sister
bought pair of stockings for herself.
Both gloves and stockings We're
wrapped up in similar packages by
Mr. Newman. In some way the
bundles became mixed, and the young
man not knowing the mistake sent his
sweetheart the stockings, accompan-
led by the following note.
Dearest:-I hope you will enjoy this
little present, instead of something
foolish. OH how wish that no other
hands might ever touch them after
you put them on, but l know, dear,
such a wish is vain. A score of fell
lows might touch them when | am not
by your side and other eyes than mine
may see them on .our streets, and
p lrties. ] bought the largest pair
could get, and if they are too long,
you can let them wrinkle down. A
great many girls wear them slipped
down little. Always wear them at
parties want to see how they fit.
some fellows have dirty hands, and
they are likly to soil them, but you
can clean them dear with benzine if
you leave them till dry. hope they
are not too small. Blow in them be-
fore you put them on.o
The young man did call Tuesday
night to see chow they fitted'' but it
is understood that he failed to win a
home.-EX.

AVALANCHE OF
TEACHERS

The statement published in the
Reno papers several weeks ago regard
ing the shortage of teachers in Neva-
ada has been extensively copied and
borne fruit i'm flood of letters from
teachers all over the United State-.
The statement which is causing the
furry in the mai was that there are
many of the smaller towns in Nevada
which lack the gentle influence of the
school ma'am. The scarcity of.ladies
and the gallantry of Nevada's sons has
conspired to rob the village school
of its teachers to the great advantage
of the next generation, perhaps, but
the certain detriment of this.
The article was extensively copied
and now Attorney craig, who is ex-
officio superintendent of Public
Schools in the county of Washoe, is
getting letters from teachers all over
the country who are willing to take a
chance as Nevada educators. One
young lady writes that she is a com
petent teacher, blonde .and arhiable
with no objection to widowers. A.
mother gives her height :and weight,
as well as her pedagogic qualifications,
and says she will leave California any
old day. Another incloses her photo.
graphs, and still another declares that
she can teach anybody, from a small
boy to a grown husband.
Attorney Craig needs only to say
the word and Nevada will will be in.
vaded by a thousand anxious school
teachers-all ladies.
