ANCLENT REMEDIES. Masneati pounds Used in England st Many Centuries Age. Various portions of the anatomy of various animals powdered did former generations have to swallow. Even brick oi] was utilized as a specific, bricks being pulverized when red hot and soaked in oil, while vipers dried in powder and soaked in warm sherry were much in favor. Tar water long retained the popularity which Bishop Berkeley's advocacy had obtained for fe Red coral was used for children, got in its modern form of a rattle for rubbing their gums with, but as an in- ward powdered preparation. Horrible utterly was the idea of the human brain made into a bolus and given, as in Charles IL’s case, but the notion of the dead hand of an executed eriminal being a remedv for wens ex- fated as recentas 1832. when a man was hanged for the murder, under dia- Dolically cold-blooded circumstances, of his wife, at Brighton, and after the @rop fell a woman was helped up on the scaffold for this purpo-e Knotgrass and saffron were especisl- ly considered to have great beneficial effec s, which explains the allusion in ‘The Caxtons’’ so frequently made to a moral saffron bag. Acacia, pars- ley and the wild flag that grows by the Fiver-side were great favorites. Fen- nel, red roses, pine tops ground, hart- worth and Cretan carrots were fre- quently prescribed. Insects play a leading partin the old Vet of drugs. But here it may be re- marked, as an analozy between old and new theories, that some years back the discovery was stated by a Puris physician of cockroaches as pro- ducing a tincture for kidney disease. 8, after all, the modern times can show some notions akin to the past ones. A favorite liniment or embrocation was madv of vipers’ fat in combination with vitriol. This is disagreeable enough in idea, but what was at the same time a specific in the doctors’ ideas for dropsy and jaundice is sim- ply horrifying. Thus it runs: “Live insects from hogs (!), water and brandy, mixed.” Bees powdered were recommended in kidney cases, ants similarly treated in briin eases, and woodlice in dropsy an | nervous disorders. Another formula was made from the claws of crabs and oyster-shells ;ound- el, which was said to be a sovereign remedy for dyspepsia.

While every body has heard of, or seen or used celluloid, only afew know what it is composed of or how it is made, The following is a description of the process carried ont in a factory near Paris for the production of cellu- loid: A roll of paper is slowly un- wound, and at the same time is satu- rated with a mixture of five parts of sulphuric acid an! two paris of nitric acid, which falls upov the paper in a fine spray. This changes the cellulose of the paper into pyroxyline (gun cotton). The excess of the acid having been exvelel by pressure, the paper is washed with plenty of water until all traces of acid have been removed; it is then reduced to a pulp, an! passeson to the bl aching trough. Most of the water having been got rid of by means of a strainer, the pulp is | mixed with from twenty to forty per cout. of its weight of camphor, a: the mixture thoron thly triturated un- @er mill stones.

When it had at last thinned out Brother Gardner said: “Nicodemus Pembroke Scott, a local member of dis lodge, bas crossed into Canady and will not reappear among us. Fur de las’ three months I have bin expectin’ some sich climax, an’ dis mawnin’, when a messenger in- | formed me dat he had disappeared, arter failin’ in an attempt to shoot his- self wid an ole hoss pistol, I war not | a bit surprised.

No, you can’t call it extravagance; foolury am @ better name for it. Up toay’ar ago Brudder Scott was job- bin’ aroun’ and makin’ adollar a day. Den he got a situashun by which he airned fo’teen dollars per week. He was poo’ off in de house an’ had debts hangin’ ober him, but heah was a chance to get eben. How was it im- proved? In less dan one month his wife was rigged out wid a twenty-lol- lar dresa, twelve-shillin’ kids, a five- dollar hat and an opera fan. H+ had no peace ob min’ onless he obeyed her. In six wecks she became too high-toned to wash an’ iron fur oder folkses. In two months she wanted a better house, wid a red parlor carpet an’ cane-seat cha’rs a'l aroun’ de room. In three months she had tc have a black silk dress, gold bracelets, a tony bunnet, kid shoes an’ gold fillin’ in her te-f. “Dat foolery has reaped its harvest. De husband found dat he was rannin’ behind, his home was bein’ neglected, his wife was bein’ gossiped about, an’ in despair he has picked up his feet an’ slid out. It was de natural result. I tell you, my frens, de tomfoolery of de women of dis gentry am strainin’ on de chalk line till de oord can’t stan’ much mo’, an’ it am high time dat somebody sots his foot down. De man who airns twenty-five dollars per week has somehow got «le ideah into his head dat de world expects him tc dress his wife as ifhe airved a bank- er’s profits.
