Meals as Remedies.

Every meal would be a remedy, if
it were rightly TAKEN" said a physi-
clan. Every article of food has some
curative property or other: and if we
ate correctly, each mouthful would i'm
prove our general health.
Nervous persons, for instance, should
eat plenty Of celery, for celery is the
best nerve tonic in the world. Leeks
and garlic are good for the digestion
and for the circulation, and thus they
should be favored by the dyspeptic
and the weak-hcarted. Asparagus
clears the blood. For the liver toma-
toes are excellent. For the kidneys
nothing is better than spinach. For
the anemic rice is superb. Grapes are
good for malaria, and pineapples will
heal a sore throat.
"I3ut onions are the most valuable
food of all. A raw onion, taken every
night before turning in, cures the
worst cases of insomnia. Onion soup
is an excellent remedy for debility of
the digestive organs"

George Washington Was No Sailor

A Baltimore school teacher was tell
ing one day Of how often the instruc-
tor of "the young idea" is astonished
by the quickness of wit exhibited by
the pupil who is otherwise deficient.
One day, says this teacher, she had
encountered such a degree of ignor-
ance and mental obtuseness on the
part of one of her boys that she be-
came disheartened. So it was with
considerable sarcasm that she said to
the youngster:
II wonder if you could tell me
whether George Washington was a
soldier or a sailor?'
The kid grinned He was soldier,
all right" was his reply.
How do you know?" asked the
weary teacher.
Because ] seen picture Of him

boy. "Any sailor'd know enough not

There has hardly been any fros. and
only a slight sprinkle of snow. III fact
there has been in Dublin no snow or
frost worth speaking of since 1895
The weather has been very different
not only on the continent of Europe
but in England. Trains have been
snowbound this winter in many places
in England and Scotland, and the cold
was intense. But on the continent of
Europe the weather has hcen and is
still fearfully cold. People have been
frozen to death in the streets of Rer-
lin and Vienna, and France has suf-
fered from the cold down to the
shores of the Mediterranean.

John L. Sees tho Cardinal.

John l.. Sullivan. ex-champion
heavyweight pugilist, had an inter-
view last week with Cardinal Gibbons,
in Baltimore, and both seemed pleased.
1t was their first meeting. Sullivan
called at the Cardinals residence and
was presented by the newspaper man.
For half an hour he entertained the
Cardinal with funny Irish stories.
When they parted the Cardinal said:
Good bye; God bless you!" and John
l.. smilingly thundered back. Same
to YOU"
When Sullivan told the Cardinal he
was As years old the Cardinal said he
thought he was older. and when the
Cardinal remarked that he was nearly
73, the pugilst said: ooh, you're a
young fellow yet. You move around
here like a boy" That pleased the
Cardinal.
What do YOU think Of the art of
self-defense?" asked the ex-champion.

here-Jake Kilrain; did You know
him." Yes; met and licked him. y
replied Sullivan, with his broadest
smile.
What broad shoulders you have,

with unconcealed admiration. Yes
said Sullivan, "but feel this arm"
John closed up his right with a jerk.
The Cardinal felt the biceps and re-
marked: "Why, it's as hard as a
rock"

Play Time for Thomas A. Edison.

Thomas A. Edison, the inventor,
says that when q man gets to be 50
years old it is time to knock off work
and play awhile. Mr.. Edison was 50
last week and his play time begins.
"For forty-f1ve years have been maxi
ing experiments with electricity" says
Mr.. Edison, "but all those years
have been turning these experiments
to commercial value so fast that l.
