As Hetty Green Told Story.

When the Hoyt will case was
on trial in New York -the Hon.
Joseph H. Choate, as everybody
knows, was one of the great
lawyers engaged in It.
Among the witnesses on the side
Mr.. Choate was opposing was Mrs.
Hetty Green. 1t was a field day
when she took the witness stand.
The object was to find out from
her what had passed between her
and Irene Hoyt at certain CON
versation respecting the bringing
of the suit. Mr.. Choate vehement
" objected to this conversation
being given by Mrs. Green and
fought viciously to keep her from
telling what had passed. During
the whole wrangle she sat grimly
in the witness box, her shabby old
bonnet askew, while she clutched
her rusty hand bag. At last after
tough fight, the Court stated
that the question might be asked
of Mrs. Mrs. Green in this form:
What passed between you and
Miss Hoyt relative to the bringing
of this suit?''
I object, ," shouted M. Choate,
noting an exception.
And then it was that Mrs. Green
snapped out; Irene Hoyt told ME
she meant to bring suit and I said |
to her, Irene, if ever you let that
old buzzard, Joe Choate, get his
hand in your pocket you won't
have dollar left.
All the lawyers engaged in the
case had champagne for luncheon
that day and Mr.. Chate paid for
it.-New York Journal.

Why not bore an arteSian well
IN Washington Park? Some time
ago a proposition was made to
bore a well, guaranteeing water or
no pay. There would be no risk,
as artesian water would be worth
TO the city many times the cost of
securing it, aud in case no water
was obtained, the other fellow
would be the loser. With the
certainty of ample water supply
a large earthern reservoir could be
constructed from which the water
could easily be pumped into a
standpipe, and our city provided

matter and THE HERALD hopes

Acute Neuralgld.-Il0 quickest
method Of obtaining relief is to pro-
cure ono ounce Of sal ammoniac and
four ounces Of camphor water. Take
one teaspoonful In water every five
minutes until relieved
Boils.-Sulphide Of calcium Il fro
quently used and with good effect. A
one-fifth grain pill should be taken ev-
cry three hours. A liberal dose Of
rochelle salts should also be taken be-
fore breakfast several times q week.
To Remove Warts-This may be &C
complished by rubbing them night and
morning with moistened piece of mu-
rate of ammonia. They soften and
dwindle away, leaving no such mark
as follows their dispersion with lunar
caustic.
Nasal Catarrh.-Into a half pint Of
boiling water dissolve a teaspoonful of
boracic acid and a salt spoonful of
salt. Use three times day lukewarm
by pouring into the palm Of the hand
and shuttle into the head or by using
an atomizer.
Bunions.-The best treatment is to
apply tincture of iodine every two or
three days. When the skin peels of
withhold treatment for a week, mean
while wearing cotton wool or q proper
bunion plaster to prevent all pressure.
Sufferers from these painful enlarged
toe joints should be careful to wear
good, soft boots which fit well.
For Breaking Up Cold.-Anythin
that will set the blood into active cir
culation Is good for q cold. Battle the
feet In hot water and drink hot wa
ter, or hot lemonade, on going to bed i:
take a salt water sponge bath and re-.
main In a warm room; battle the face
in very hot water every FIVE minutes
for an hour or so; snuff hot salt water
up the nose every hour or two. Four
or FIVE hours exercise in the open air
Is often effective. -Four or i've grains
of quinine taken at night will usually
have a good effect. A vapor bath, fol-
lowed by cool sponge bath, is good.
In bathing, one should be careful not
to get chilled.
Freezing and Frost Bites.-A point
to bear in mind Is that, in case Of freez-
ing or frost bite, heat must never be
applied at first. Aim at gradual resto.
ration. Use friction, with snow or Ice
or cold water, and get up all the fric-
ton possible After awhile let heat be
applied in the most gentle manner pos
sible. If, in the case Of freezing, anil
nation does not return, try artificial
respiration, az in the case Of drown
ing. II sores follow frost bites, treat
with some reliable ointment. II there
is much Inflammation, poultice liberal
ly. It L. risky to rub frozen skin too
hard. A safer way is to hold snow
against tho frozen spot with tho warm
hand till it melts and thus gradually
suck out the frost. Friction Of the
surrounding skin may be necessary to
restore circulation.
