Coco7nut MIX for Burns,

THE milk OF fresh cocoanut is
the finest remedy on earth for burns, I"
said Antonio Gilardl OF New Orleans.
Several years ago happened to be in
Central America shipping fruit to the
United States. While there first
learned that the cocoanut milk was
the very best medicine in case of bad
burns. In severe case where the
flesh Is SO badly burned that it sloughs
away from the bone the cocoanut milk
will relieve the pain and stops the in.

REMEDIES FOR ALL DISEASES.
But No Particular cure.All for Every
Maady.

Every disease has It's remedy, and
In the search for that remedy hun.
dreds OF cults OF medicine have sprung
up. One man pins his faith In minute
doses OF powerful drugs; another
walks barefoot over wet grass; an
other eats raw fruit and grain; one is
confident that mud baths induce
health, and still another urges us to
chew each mouthful OF food at least
30 times before swallowing. No
doubt, every one OF these cures" is
OF benefit to some form OF disease.
The mistake OF followers OF the treat.
ments is In thinking their particular
remedy q cure.all for every malady.
There arc no universal remedies. In.
deed, every type OF disease must re.
csiye special attention and be treated
after the fashion long experience and
study have taught the medical profes.
sion is best adapted to the case. Ger.
tain Ills respond quickly to drugs. the
virtues OF which are sometimes won.
derfully effective. Others need moth.
ing but fresh air; still others a change
OF climate. and variety OF diseases
need no drugs and no Journeys to the
mountains. but are best relieved by
simple dieting. -Leslie's Weekly.

moRoccANs USE LOVE CHARMS
Queer Means Employed by Women to
Gain Affection.

Mrs. ManselPleydell writes Of the
curious charms used By the women Of
Morocco: Moorish women resort
much to charms to gain lovers or to
keep their affections when gained
There is one charm which is seldom
known TO fail. II consists of shred
ding a small piece of an undergarment
which the man has worn and, after
certain nominations have been said
over 1t, of rolling the PARTICLES into
the shape of q small ball. This Is en-.
bedded In larger ball Of clay and aft
er being slightly dampcned, II is kept
in pot over the embers Of live char
coal. have been assured that as
soon as the heat pcnetratcs the clay
the man, whoever he may be. will lay
aside whatever work he ia doing at
the time and fly to the arms Of the
woman who inyOkes the charms As
long as The ball is kept warm so long
will the heat OF love burn in the
heart Of the lover for that woman.
Another spell much resurtCd to is cast
by cutting OF the tips Of Il donkey
ears, cooking them and mixing them
in the mans food. He then becomes
as foolish as a donkey with love for
the charmer who has provided his
unsayory repast."
