SO heavy and so nauseating did this

with quite as much force.

Roses In Medicine.

Roses at one time figured prom
inently in the pharmacopoeia. Pliny
gives 80 remedies compounded of
rose leaves and petals. Sufferers
from nervous complaints used to seek
relief by sleeping on rose pillows and
one is told that Helogabalus used to
imbibe rose wine as pick-me-up
after his periodical gormandizing
hours. The flower was also served
at table, both as a garnish, in the way
parsley is now used, and as a salad,
md rose water was largely used for
navoring dishes. Roses as food have
gone out of favor among western ma
ions. but the Chinese still eat rose
fritters.

The girl came along. but not with
enthusiasm They tiptoed through the
dark. narrow hall and peered into the
parlor.- This apartment was dim and
still and gloomy, as all proper parlors
should be. but there was no sign OF
life.
Mrs. Coffin was glancing back down
the hall with strange expression on
her face. Her grip upon the broom

agonized whisper

fact, Keziah strode down the hall and

The girl turned, her hat in her hand.
"Oh!" she cried in utter astonish-

THAT was what Elkanahs proposal
amounted to. Ha, ha! Deary me-!

My claims are based both on cred
