Hats In Parliament.

History does not tell, so far as We
know, how It came about that mem
bers Of the English parliament wear
their hats. The hstom has de
scended from am age when its pro-
ceodngs were not recorded, but one
may suspect that thereby hangs a
tale of sturdy and victorious revolt
against privilege, such as broke out
at Versailles, could II be recovered.
Now aud again We find an antique
alluslon to the practice, When the
commons voted that every one
should "mcoycg or stir or move his
hat" when the speaker expressed the
thanks of the hou,c for any service
done by a member Lord Falkland
stretched both his arms ont aud
clasped his hands together ON the
crown of hl, hat and held il down
close to his head, that all might see
how odious that ilattery was to
him. .ondon Chronicle.

MODERN AFRICA.
The Psrtitionins Of the Continent

BY 1895 the partition of Africa
had become an established fact. AL
most every square mile Of its sur
face having been scrambled for
(there is no better word) by the
great powers of Europe, the most
remarkable circumstance of this gi-
gantic acquisition of territory was
the absence OF international strife.
Africa emerged from the struggle
of the chance eric, of Europe to
find itself provided with new mas
ters in MANY directions. France
had become the po-scssor of $780,
600 square miles Of territory, 1,600,-
600 of which lay in the great Sa-
hara desert: Great Britain of 2,200,-

of 100000 unnliottcd. of which 70,-
600 lay in the great lakes and most
of the remainder in the balance OF

mare will beat that. She refuses to
help herself TO the barley at night,
for most times she isn't through

CHARCOAL AS MEC,clNE.
An Antidots Fer Pei.on and Good
Household hemeGy.

Charcoal as a home medicine has
many uses, says Medical Talk.
"For all forms Of poison pulyer-
lied charcoal Is recommended to act
as if by magic"
Our opinion is that these ac-
counts Just now are greatly cxagger-
ated. We doubt very much whether
poisonous dose of strychnine would
be antidotcd by charcoal. At the
same time, we believe charcoal to be
very excellent remedy, especially
in ptomainc poisoning. MI 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 pulycrized
charcoal for cholera infantum. This
We add to the milk or other fluid
nourishmcnt which the child is taxi
ing. The dose is immatcrial. AS
much rs can be taken will do no
harm.
We believe that the frequent use
of charcoal in most cases of dys-
pcpsia would be beneficial. Char
coal is perfectly harmless and can
be taken freely without the slight
est danger.
Charcoal acts ~ disinfectant
and absorbent Of noy'ous gases and
Thoroughly clcanscs the whole ALI
mcntary canal. Therefore, while
We regard thee recent accounts
about the curative virtues Of char
coal ~ cxag,tcration, We are glad so
innocent aud useful Il remedy as
charcoal has been brought into
prominence by them.
We recommend our readers TO
give pulverzcd charcoal promi-
ncnt place as n household remedy.
II can be made by those who use
wood ~ a feel. Hard wood is the
best. Tho coal should be a clean
one. II can be pulvrrizcd with n
rolling pin. Those who do not have
access to Goals can purchase the
charcoal already pul,crizcd at tho
drug store.
It yu cheap remedy. II Is an of-
iicicut remedy. II Il n harmless
remedy. and ii Is u remedy that we
can thoroughly recommend in all

In cases wlcrc it docs no good II

of like questions, with like answers,
as the months went by.

was the frequent refrain of friends
