. Palatable Temperance Beverage


Consul F. Van Dyne, writing from
Kingston, describes the growing use
in Jamaica of the kola nut for the
making of palatable drink:
Because of the constant demand in
this latitude for a cooling beverage,
quite a number of aerated water
manufactures have been established
in this consular district. or these
waters the best is kola, which is very
popular not only among the natives,
but with foreigners. II Is delicious,
healthful and invlgorating non-alco-
holic drink, and Is made from the
kola or bissy nut (Cola acuminata) {,
the fruit OF a tree Indigenous to west
ern Africa, which has been intro
duced here and planted in consider
able quantities. The three grows
best in moist soil, from the sea level
up TO an elevation OF 1000 feet. II
attains height OF thirty to fifty feet,
and a tree when about ten years old
yields from 100 to $50 pounds of
nuts annually There are two crops
per year.
The price of the nuts varies from
$1.94 To S3.65 per 100 pounds, ac-
ording to the season. The taste of
the nut when bitten is astrlngent and
bitter. but when acted upon by the
saliva II rapidly changes TO sweet.
When ripe, the nuts are picked or
shaken from the tree and dried, when
they are ready for the market. The
nut is used to some extent I'm medi-
cine. II is believed to possess pc
,culiar properties, among others that
of making foul water healthful, rem
derlng tainted meats edible, OF aiding
digestion and preventing dysentery
It makes an excellent tonic, and Is
,chewed by the natives as an antidote
for poison, and for liver complaint.

OF chocolate, coffee and cocoa. While
the manufactured kola, which retaili

The Single EyegIass.

The fact that II Is reported from
England that Tammany's late chief,
Richard Croker, has taken to wear
ing a monocle, or single eyeglass, re-
calls the origin OF this article of
many Englishmen's wearing apparel,
which is very often an affectation. The
single eyeglass found its inception
in the British hunting field, and was
the invention of a fox hunter, who
had TO wear glasses because he was
shortsighted. The glasses were all
right when riding in the field, but
when 1t came to taking hedge or
water Jump they had to be removed
so that the wearer could get near
er view. He evolved the scheme OF
a single glass attached 20 his coat
lapel by a cord, and held In the eye
simply by the muscles. IL answered
every purpose for which glasses are
needed, and when approaching
fence all the hunter had TO do was 70
relax the muscles and let the glass
fall. replacing 1t in the eye when the
obstacle was cleared. The glass look
ed peculiarly sporty" and 1t was
soon taken up by the younger hunt
ing set, and from them spread over
the country, until 1t has become a
fad of supposedly well-dressed men,
especially military men and diplo-
mats, where, of course, its wearing
is largely affectation.

Killed, 5000; injured, 1886 That
Is the record of the American railroads
for the year ending June 80 last as

commission. The figures do not include
the persons killed or injured at railroad
crossings, nor those trespassing on
equipment or right of way. 1t is the
record Of casualties solely for passen-
gers and for trainmen actually On duty
On or about trains. The increase in
tho number Of killed over the preceding
year was IT'S, or more than Is per cent
The Increase in the number Of injured
was 9,577, or over IA per cent. 1t IS
slow and painful process to secure the
adoption Of devices for the protection
of the lives of passengers and trainmen,
because the railroads resist progress in
this direction at every point. 1t costs
money to save lives, and they prefer to
avoid the expense. The interstate COM
merce commission brings the case
against the railroads home in a couple
Of sentences. It compares the small
Increase in casualties due to coupling
and uncoupling cars and to accidents
to men on the tops of freight cars with
the heavy increase Of accidents to pas
sengers due to collisions and derail-
mentA In the latter case the large

ACROSS SWEDEN By CANAL

Waterway Ericsson Helped to Bui1d
Now q Route for Tourist Travel.
At least one canal in the world has
become a fayOrite route of pleasure
travel This Is the Gotta canal, the
building of which converted that part
of Sweden south of Stockholm into an
island, says the New York Sun.
The canal crosses the land from sea
to sea, forming an uninterrupted line
Of communication 260 miles long be-
tween the Baltic and the Kattegat. The
journey takes two days and half.
Ships drawing ten feet of water may
pass from sea to sea through this chain
OF lakes, cuttings, locks and regulated
rivers constituting the Gotta canal.
Ninety-nine years ago this gigantic
piece of work was planned and twenty
four years elapsed before communiea-
ton was finally established. The names
of some of the greatest men in engi-
neering science are associated with the
canal.
A part Of the River Gotta, which car
ries the water route to the Kattegat,
had long before been canalized and the
famous SwedenbOrg, who was a daring
dreamer and the founder Of a religious
sect, had a hand in the work. But
when the time came to use the Gotta
river as part of the new canal the
| n M TOD fc,no nd n nd
the brothers Nils and John Ericsson
began their great career as engineers
by recanalizing the western part of the
Gotta river and replacing Swedenborg' IS
locks cut out Of the solid rock.
It takes seventy-four locks to lift the
vessels from one level to another and
lower them again. Each steamer leav-
ing Stockholm is gradually lifted 800
feet above the sea before it reaches
the water parting at Lake Vixen in
the center of, the peninsula. Then it
is carefully lowered again from one
lock to another till it is once more at
sea level in the city Of Gothenburg.
At many points where several locks
are passed in succession the passengers
have time to walk along the banks of
the canal for closer view of one or
another attraction such as the magnif-
cent falls of Trollhattan, which are cir
cumvented by the eleven locks that
made the Ericssons famous.
The whole trip is charming, for there
is great variety in the constantly
changing scene The contrasts are
sometimes very abrupt, as, for example,
when the vessel energies from a thick
forest Of silver birches upon one of
the big lakes, whose further shore can
scarcely be seen.
Some things are done in a quaint
way on these little vessels. An ac-
count book with a pencil attached
hangs on the wall and everybody is ex-
pected to jot down the number of
meals he eats and the extras he orders,
foot up the total at the end Of the voy-
age and settle the bill, according to his
own calculations.

BEST PRESCRIPTION

AND CURES RHEUMATISM,
Full Directions to Make and Take This
Simple Homemade Mixture
Makes Kidneys Filter
Out Acids.

When an eminent authority an
nounced in the Scranton, Pa, Times
that he had found a new way to treat
that dread American disease, Rheuma-
tism, with just common, everyday
drugs found in any drug store, the ply
sicians were slow indeed to attach
much Importance to his claims. This
was only a few months ago. Today
nearly every newspaper in the coun-
try, even the metropolitan dailies, are
announcing it and the splendid results
achieved. It is so simple that any
one can prepare it at home at small
cost. 1t is made up as follows: Get
from any good druggist Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by
shaking in bottle and take in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and at
bedtime. These are all simple in
gradients, making an absolutely harm
less home remedy at little cost.
rheumatism, as every one knows, is
a symptom of deranged kidneys. It is
a condition produced by the failure of
the kidneys to properly filter or strain
from the blood the uric acid and other
matter which, If not eradicated, either
in the urine or through the skin pores,
remains in the blood, decomposes and
forms about the joints and muscles,
causing the untold suffering and de-
formity of rheumatism.
This prescription is said to be a
splendid healing, cleansing and invig-
Grating tonic to the kidneys, and gives
almost immediate relief in all forms of
bladder and urinary troubles and back
ache. He also warns people in a lead
ing New York paper against the dis
criminate use of many patent medi-
cines.
