Medicine of Bamboo Sap.

In India the sap of the female ban-

poses. "Tabasheer," or "banslochan,"
is sold In all Indian bazars, as 1t has
been known from the earliest times as
a medicinal agent. 1t is also known
in Borneo, and was an article of COM
merce with early Arab traders of the
east. It's properties are said to be
strengthening. tonic and cooling. 1t
has been analyzed and has been shown
to consist almost entirely of silica,
with traces Of lime and potash. From
its remarkable occurrence in the hol-
lows OF bamboos the eastern mind has
long associated 1t with miraculous
powers.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually necos-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear

BILE can be entirely overcome by using

Wel-Known Firm Praises Advertising
Worth Of Banner.

The business Office of the Banner
was greatly gratitied to receive let
ter from one of the largest advertis.
ers in the country, the Booths Hyomei
Co. of Buffalo, saying that as n result
of their use of our advertising columns
the sales of Hyomei have increased
largely within the last few weeks. and
that in no city or town is there a larg.
er demand for Hyomei than in Ben
nington.
While this speaks very favorably as
to the merits of the advertising col.
umns Of the Banner. 1t also is a
testimonial to the worth of Hyomei in
the treatment of catarrhal troubles, as
no remedy can get a large sale unless
1t possesses true merit
VIM. l.. Gokay sells Hyomei on a
guarantee to refund the money unless
it cures catarrh, and with this liberal
offer, no one should suffer long with
catarrhal troubles.

The Scotch Juror.

In Scotland In a civil case jurymen
get ten shilliDgs day for their serv-
ices and the litigants must in addition
provide them with lunch. If two cases
are tried consecutively and the same
Jurymen oftciate, they get ten shilI.
ings for each case.
But the most important difference
between an English and a Scottish
jury is this: An English Jury when
returning their verdict must be unan.
lmous, and If they fail to agree after
certain length of time they are dis
missed and the whole proceedings are
begun again de novo before fresh
Jury This is most expensive mode
OF administering justice. In civil
cases, in order to avoid this result,
the litigants sometimes agree to &C.
cept' the verdict of majority. In
Scotland the Jury can always give a
verdict by a majority In civil cases
after the lapse of three hours.

SECRET OF GOOD MANNERS.
Chiefly a Combination Of Good Sense
and Good Nature.

A friend Of yours and mine has
cry justly defined good breeding to
be the result Of much good sense.
good nature and a little self.denial for
the sake of others, and with view
to obtain the same indulgence from
them" Taking this for granted--as
1 think 1t cannot be disputed 1T Is
astonishing to me that anybody who
has good sense and good nature can
essentially fail In good breeding. Al
to the modes Of 1t. indeed. they vary
according to persons. places and cir.
cumstances and are only acquired BY
observation and experience. but the
substance of It Is everywhere and
eternally the same. Good manners
are to particular societies what good
morals are to society In general
their cement and security. And as
laws are enacted to- enforce good
morals or at least to prevent the Ill
effects OF bad ones. so there are Ger.
tain rules of civility, universally i'm.
piled and received to enforce good
manners and punish bad ones. -.
