STRANGE INDIAN REMEDIES.
Virtues That Are Ascribed to Claws and
Horns

Great virtues are ascribed in India to
the claws and horns of certain animals.
Tiger claws are in great demand with
the common people. One or two claws
may be worn near the loins, but should
one possess a larger number the fortu-
nate owner makes garland of them and
wears them around his neck.
Deer's horn ground into fine paste is
an excellent balm for pains and swell
ings. A more curious use is found for
the same substance it is sometimes
made into a powder which is supposed
to aid the growth of stunted women.
The joints taken from the long and
slender tail of the black scorpion are
supposed to keep illness at arms dis
lance when children wear them on their
waist thread.
A red or swollen eye is cured by hav-
ing it touched with the bolt or chain of
a door. A remedy which | have seen
applied with considerable effect in more
than one epileptic fit is to place bunch
of keys in the palm of the sufferer. l
have heard it said that the fit passes
away as readily if the keys are placed
on the head. A rather quaint remedy
in the case of a sprained neck is to use
an iron measure for pillow.
Sore throat is cured by splitting on red
hot iron-quite the simplest and least
expensive cure known to the native doc
tor. Peacock's flesh is a good medicine
for acute Observation-Disclosures Mail.

Imported English Gardens.

Up at OpI4r farm the gardeners are
busy fashioning an old fashioned Eng
lish plot, designated after one in the
Queens private grounds at Windsor.
Mrs. Reid has been in ecstasies over the
English gardens, and she has dispatched
many flowers, shrubs and trees to her
home on the Hudson and she hopes that
they will be in full beauty when she re-
turns from her foreign sojourn. Trail
ing arbutus, so rare in this country, is
to form the drapery for a summer house,
and the English favorites, fuchsias, CO.
raj honeysuckle and hawthorne, are to
make the hedges radiant, and some eigh-
teen or twenty varieties of old fashioned
flowers which Queen Alexandria espe-
cialE affects. Most of these blossoms
are ignored in American gardens, but are
pretty, nevertheless, and Mrs. Reid
hopes to make her new Windsor garden
one of the loveliest spots in her beautiful
home-New York Press.
