SLOT MACHINES.
They Were Used During the Time
nnd Reign of RnmcRcs.

ana lsefSn OF hnmcRcs.
A correspondent of the Boston Her
aid writes: 1T is true there are few
things new under the sun. Air BEDS or
what we call pneumatic beds, were
used by the Romans before the Chris
tian era. The most remarkable dupllca-
ton of an old invention is the nickel
n-the-slot machine. This was first
used during the time and reign of Ram
eses, in the eighteenth dynasty of
Egypt, for the pu2pose of supplying
holy water, that which had been bless
ed by the priests, TO the people who
desired it. The machine WAS urn shap-
ed, with small cylinder inside,
through which ran Il rod connecting a
valve at the bottom of the cylinder
with one at the top. These We're oper-
ated by lever, which closed the bot
tom valve while opering that at the
top, when the cyiin, or would fill with a
fixed amount of WAGER. To obtain the
water cup was placed ut the outlet;
coin of three GrLcl!maC, equal to about
10 cents of our money, was dropped
into the slot on to Il scale pan in the
end of the lever. T..is opened the cyl
lnder at the top and closed The lower
valve, allowing the coin 10 slide off. the
weight of wa .er c.0shg the top valve,
opening the lower one and allowing the
water TO run into the cup. This Is the
basis Of all patented slot machines of
the present time and dates back to
nearly 5000 B. c."

Fishing For sheen,

When sheep We're first introduced
into Cornwall, England, Il flock which
had strayed from the uplands on to
Gwithian sands were caught there by
tie tide and ultimately carried into
st. Ives bay during the night There
the floating flock was observed from
the st. Ives fishing boats, whose crews,
never having seen sheep, took them for
some new kind of fish and did their
best to secure them both by hooks and
lines and by netting. Those they Sc
cured they brought home triumphantly
next morning as Il catch to which even
pilchards were as nothing.

In any Servian village there is only
one swineherd, and he leads all the
pigs of the community. In the morn
ing he goes through the streets blow
ing his horn, and the pigs come out of
their own accord and fall in behind
him and follow him to the pasture. At
night he brings them home. and they
disperse to their sites in the same or
derly way as they pass the houses to
which they belong. They require no

CoNSUMpTIoN'S WARNING

symptoms.-DR. G. G. GREEN.
GThe aid of scientific inventions is not
needed to determine whether your lungs
are affected. The first symptoms can be
readily noted by anyone of average in
telligence.
GThere is no disease known that gives so
many plain warnings of its approach as
consumption, and no serious disease that
can be so quickly reached and checked,
if the medicine used is DR.. Boschee's
German Syrup, which is made to cure
consumption.
git is in the early stages that German
Syrup should be taken, when warnings
are given in the cough that won't quit,
the congestion of the bronchial tubes and
the gradual weakening of the lungs, ac-
companied by frequent expectoration.
GBut no matter how deep-seated your
cough, even if dread consumption has
already attacked your lungs, German
Syrup will surely effect cure-as it has
done before in thousands of apparently
hopeless cases of lung trouble.

VALUE OF SEAWEEDS.
The Use of Irish Moss ms n Food and
n Medicine.


Medicine.
Irish moss Is used as q foundation for
many desserts in the dietary kitchens
where especial dishes are prepared for
invalids. An authority on the question
of seaweeds states that scurvy, the
dread of sailors, caused by the absence
of potash in the salt meat which forms
part of every ships provisions, would
be ameliorated by the liberal use of sea
moss jelly, which is rich in potash.
Irish moss has always place in the
medicine chest of the old fashioned
housewife, who pins her faith to its
healing properties for colds, sore
throatS, etc. On the coast where the
moss is gathered and also in the major
ity of Irish families the moss is boiled,
and sugar, until it is of the consistency
of sirup. 1t is taken hot, teaspoonful
at time and is said TO be very good
remedy for the maladies referred to.
The Indians use the ashes of seaweed
for granular swellings. 1t is also used
by the Chinese, and so highly is it priz-
ed by them both as a medicine and a
food that it is gathered in some parts
Of the Pacific coast, principally at Mon
terey, and sent back to China
The supply of seawced of every de-
scription seems ineyhaustible, as that
pulled or reaped from the rocks is re-
placed by another and more luxuriant
growth the following year. On the At
hntic coast it is harvested only during
the months from June to August, but
at Monterey it is gathered every day all
the year around.-Leslie's Weekly.
