Old.Eime Remedies.

Strange as it 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 q sovereign cure for ague
was the swallowing of small toad
that had been chicken to death on ST.
Johns eve. and a 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 a toad's brain
for mental affections and that a live
toad be rubbed over the diseased parts
as a cure for the Quinsy.

FORTUNES IN PRECIOUS GEMS.

Rxtravaxant Display OF Jewels Made
by Women.
The desire for jewels and the ex-
travagantly splendid displays now
made by women who delight in such
manifestations of wealth, says the
London Mail, are two OF the main
characteristics of the power dress ex-
ercises over women in this luxurious
age.
A million sovereigns sounds like an
incredibly huge sum Of money to sink
in precious stones, but the gem caskets
of some of our great ladies represent
that value very closely. and 1t is &C.
tually touched in a few notable In
stances.
Quite moderately wealthy young
married women do not consider their
catalogue Of jewels complete without
two OR three tiaras. string OF pearls
capable Of being measured by the yard.
a stomacher brilliantly ablaze with
gems, a dog collar and numerous neck
lets. rings Of various colors to match
various gems, to say nothing OF
aigrettes of diamonds, bracelets,
brooches and little ornaments by the
hundred.
One single necklet of pearls-only
string that closely clasps the throat
has been known to cost $4,000; tiara
swallows up any sum up to f25.OOO,
and even more when it contains prac-
tically priceless stones; one brooch
may easily represent $500, while a
stomacher can scarcely cost less.
Hence to be bedizened in gems that
represent 100000 is not difficult task
for the woman who likes barbaric
display and can afford to indulge her
within.
The extravaganza this craving for
gems leads to is excused by some peo-
pie on the score that precious stones
are a sound Investment. while the
dealers in imitation gems truthfully
aver that it fosters their trade.
