A Queer Cough Mixture.

Mrs Delaney, so well known as an
eighteenth century parsonage, had a
strange prescription for cough mix
ture. Writing to friend In January,
1853, she says: Does Mary cough In
the night2 Two or three snails boiled
in her barley water or tea water or
whatever she drinks might be of great
service to her. Taken in time they
have done wonderful cures. She must
know nothing of 1t. They give no
manner of taste. 1t would be best
nobody should know 1t but yourself
and should imagine six or eight boil
ed In q quart of water and strained of
and put in a bottle would be good
way, adding spoonful or two of that
to every liquid she takes. They must
be fresh done every two or three days;
otherwise they grow too thick" A
strange remedy, and one wonders
whether "Mary" took 1t and benefited
by II.

Ancient Waterworks.

Hezeklah. king of judah, who relgned
in the years III to 6sS B. G., was
pioneer in constructing a system OF
waterworks, bringing water into the
city Of Jerusalem. In the holy book
we read: HE made the pool and con-
duit and brought the water into the
city, stopping the upper part of Gihon,
and brought 1t straight down to the
west side of the city of David. And
Hezeklah prospered In all his works."
From the pools OF Solomon" near
Bethlehem, water was conveyed to
Jerusalem, a distance of six or seven
miles, through conduit OF earthen
pipe about ten inches in diameter The
pipe was incased within two stones,
hewn out to lit 1t, then covered over
with rough stones cemented together.
Even In those days boil the water"
was a well known injunction.

Spanish Emerslds,

"Fine old Spanish emeralds" is a
phrase which means something quite
different from what 1t seems to imply.
There never was an emerald mined in
Spain, but after the conquest OF Peru
the conquerors brought home great
quantities of loot, Of which emeralds
formed an Important part. In this
way the finest emeralds came into pos
session of the old Spanish families.
and as very few had been seen in
Europe previous to that time all the
best stones soon became classed as fne
old Spanish emeralds. Today the ex-
preston still applies to the best emer-
aids OF any source.-New York Sun.

Idiomatie EnaIisn.

Mrs. Fremont in sketch Of her fa-
ther, Senator Benton. tells the follow
ing story OF the French bishop at St
Louis at the time Of tle purchase Of
Louisiana. She says:
II was a point OF honor among the
older French not TO learn English. but
the bishop decided that It would be
better to acquire 1t, especially for use
from the pulpit. To force himself
into the familiar practice Of the Ian
guage he secluded himself for awhile
with the family OF an American farm
er, where he would hear no French.
The experiment proved very success
full. Soon he had gained sufficient
fiuency to deliver sermon In English.
Senator Benton was present when II
was to be given, and his feelings may
be imagined as the bishop, a refined
and polished gentleman, announced:

Chinese Sun and Moon.

In China the sun and moon are
brother and sister. The moon is the
elder brother. who looks after his rath-
er silly sister, the sun. This Is exactly
the reverse of our legends. which make
the sun the day king and the gentle
moon lady Of the night. One day in
China. so the legend runs, the sun
asked the moon II she couldn't 60 out
at night The moon answered very
sternly: "No. You are young lady.
and 1t would be improper for you to
go out after dark" Then the sun said.
But the people keep looking at me
when go out in the daytime" So the
moon told her to take the golden
needles that she wore In her hair and
stick them into the eyes OF people
when they stared at her. This Is the
reason why no one can look at the sun
without pain.

Some eminent writer-not eminent
DIR. Fiz-wrItes in the>News this re-
markable bit of logic. giving in a nut
shell why the Negro ought not to vote
and, II the reason be a sound one,
there are more Democrats, 1t might
truthfully say, than Negroes in this
state who ought not to vote:
This talk OF white men enactlng
laws that will disfranchise white men
is all bosh. The DISTINGUISHING
planks in the Democratic platform
are aimed at the Negro, and at no
body else. This is done because OF
the fact. and justified by the fact,
that the Negro as race has shown
himself absolutely unappreciative OF
the linIlot and utterly careless of the
manner in which he uses it."
White men should not permit
themselves to be fooled by any such
declaration on the part OF Democratic
newspapers, as the Democratic plat.
form does not stop with the Negro
alone. but covers all classes who are
not educated to certain point.
