An amusing Renaissance is given
in Black and White of Lord Charles
Beresford. He once created dis
turbance in the house by a practical
joke, for which the victim never for
gave him. There was q certain
member at the time who used to
seek refuge in an empty bench be-
hind the speakers chair whenever
a long winded debate was in prog
ress. Here he would take eff his
boots and go to sleep until the diyi-
sion bell rang. On the day in ques-
ton Beresford crept up to him and,
taking one of the boots, hid it under
a bench. just then the division bell
rang, and the sleepy member hunted
high and low for his boot; but, un-
able to find it, he was hustled out
by the tellers, and the humorous
spectacle was witnessed of q staid
member holding up one leg and
showing Il big bole in his sock.

History does not tell, so far as we
know, how it came about that men,
bers of the English parliament wear
their hats. The custom has de-
scended from an age when it's pro-
ceedings were not recorded, but one
may suspect that thereby hangs
tale of sturdy and victorious revolt
against privilege, such as broke out
at Versailles, could it be recovered.
Now and again we find an antique
allusion to the practice. When the
commons voted that every one
should uncover or stir or move his
hat" when the speaker expressed the
thanks of the house for any service
done by member, Lord Falkland
stretched both his arms out and
clasped his hands together on the
crown Of his hat and held it down
close to his head, that all might see
low odious that fattery was to

Largest Reservoir In the World,

In South as in North America
nature does her work on the grand
scale, and one of her noblest
achievements is the Amazon river.
Rising in the Andes, it flows across
the continent and discharges into
the Atlantic ocean at the equator.
The vastness Of the area which it
drains, amounting to 2,36S,000
square miles, will be evident when
it is borne in mind that this is more
than the area of Russia in Europe
and Austria Hungary. 1t has a
length of nearly 1900 miles, is nav
igable for fully 1890 miles from the
sea and is fed by numerous streams,
which in any other country would
be ranked as great rivers. In the
wet season, which lasts for about
eight months, its width varies from
5 miles to 400. No wonder the
Amazon has been called gigantic
reservoir rather than river.

CHARCOAL AS MEDICINE.
An Ant,dote For Poison and Good
Household Remedy.

Charcoal as n home medicine has
many uses, saws Medical Talk.
For all forms of poison pulver-
lied charcoal is recommended to act
as if by magic"
Our opinion is that these ae-
counts just now are greatly exagger-
atcd. We doubt very much whether
apoisonous dose of strychnine would
be antidoted by charcoal. At the
same time, We believe charcoal to be
"a very excellent remedy, especially
in ptomaine poisoning. All kinds
of fermentation of food within the
stomach or decomposition of food
are Immediately corrected by char
coal.
For many years we have been in
the habit of prescribing pulyerized
charcoal for cholera infantum. This
We add to the milk or other tluld
nourishment which the child is TAX
ing. The dose is immaterial. As
much as can be taken will do no
harm.
We believe that the frequent use
of charcoal in most cases OF dys-
pepsia would be beneficial. Char
coal is perfectly harmless and can
be taken freely without the slight
est danger.
Charcoal acts as a disinfectant
and absorbent of noyious gases and
thoroughly cleanses the whole ali
mentary canal. Therefore, while
we regard these recent accounts
about the curative virtues of char
coal as exaggeration, we are glad SC
innocent and useful remedy a,
charcoal has been brought into
prominence by them.
/ We recommend our readers tC
give pulverzed charcoal promi
nent place as household remedy
1t can be made by those who use
wood as a fuel Hard wood is the
best. The coal should be clear
one. 1t can be pulverized with ,
rolling pin. Those who do not have
access to Goals can purchase The
charcoal already pulyerized at thu
drug store.
1t is a cheap remedy. 1t is an eff
ficicnt remedy. 1t is a harmless
remedy, and it is remedy that W,
can thoroughly recommend in al
stomach and intestinal disorders
In cases where it does no good i
certainly will do no harm.
If we were present at case o
accidental poisoning and had n
other antidote convenient we shout,
certainly use pulverlzed charcoal
Therefore, it may be well to bea
this in mind. Should anv one b
poisoned in the household docto
should he immediately sent for
