HERBS FOR MEDICAL USE.
OTn-FA8HtONED P0I.K9 WHO
TRUST TO 8IMPLH REMEDIES.
rianta Which Bring Healing and Res
toration to tho Sick Without the
Doctor'i Prescription;
yr EVERAL largo wholesale drnff
w honscs down town find it worth
jJ while to keep in stook a large
assortment of herbs for medi
cal nsr, and at least one such house,
more than fifty years in existence,
deals in such articles alone. These
honscs supply druggists all OTer the
East with the raw materials of which
many standard medioines are made,
and with the traditional herbs, roots
and barks of onr grandmothers. The
trade in these thiugs even in this city
is large, and they are sold wherever
household remedios still hare s plaee
of honor.
One of these wholesale houses issues
a catalogue that is in some sort a rongh
guide to the art and mystery of herb
doctoring. It is these remedies that
are compounded by the so-called bo
tanio druggists, or "botanists," as
they are sometimes styled. Many of
these remedies are woll-reoognized
medicines, unhesitatingly prescribed
by physioians of seieutiflo education,
and some snoh physicians still cling to
inherited formulas aud traditional
herbs.
Nearly five hundred herbs, roots,
seeds, flowers and barks are kept in
etcck by the largest botanic druggists,
and new remedies are still from time
to time added to the list. The plants
thus kept are not only those known to
the pharmacoposa as containing the
active principles of standard drags,
nearly every familiar flower and plant,
wild or cultivated. Not only the dan
delion, May applo, bonesct and pepsis
eway of our grandmothers and the
liquorice root, slippery elm and gin
sing of the orthodox materia medica
must be kept on hand, but as well hun
dreds of others known to those deeply
read in the science of simples.
Favorite flowers and famous plants
take roles strangely unfamiliar to
those unlearned in herbs and drugs.
The bark of the tulip tree, according
to the catalogue, cures hysterics and
dyspepsia. Thistlo tea "strengthens
the system and excites perspiration."
Water lilies of one sort or another
are good for pectoral complaints and
scrofula. Watermelon seed is "ex
cellent for dropsy," doubtless on the
homosopathio prinoiple. The white
willow is a substitute for Peruvian
bark. The wild sunflower is set down
as "invaluable in bilious eolio" and
like complaints. Sweet clover is for
swellings. The strawberry, no longer
a table delicacy, furnishes in its leaves
a remedy for sore throat, and in its
wandering stem a cure for jaundice
and fovera. Seven kinds of snake root
furnish remedies for rheumatism,
scrofula, hives, croup, fevers and
some complaints of the stomach.
The Irish shamrock, losing its em
blematio significance, is used to
make an infusion for scurvy. The
familiar skunk cabbage, earliest and
most ill-smelling of blossoms, is good
for hemorrhage of the lungs, coughs
and asthma. Rosemary and rue figure
in this materia medica, the former not
for remembrance as according to
Ophelia, but for nervous and hysteri
cal affections. Ophelia's rue, called
"herb of grace o' Sundays," lays the
nnpoetio part of a cure for epilepsy,
hysterics, hiccough and disorders of
the stomach. Galen, aooording to
the commentators of Shakespeare,
asoribed somewhat different ourative
properties to rue. Ophelia's pansies,
under the name of heart's ease, are
not "for thoughts," but are "excellent
for asthma, and good in colds and
fevers. "
Man plants are enumerated as hav
ing the properties of quinine in great
er or less degree ; there are several
substitutes for opium and like doubles
for other familiar drugs. The num
ber of plants that cure rheumatism is
marvelous, and there are more than
two dozen remedies for inoipient con
sumption of the lungs. Boxwood
bark is "nearly equal to quinine."
Cedar apples, which Walt Whitman
discourses upon as cedar plums, are
useful in a common complaint of chil
dren, and cedar berries, the aromatio
and slightly sweet little blue fruit of
the cedar tree, are reoommended in
tincture or infusion for dropsy. Four
parts of varieties of the dogwood are
enumerated as of medioinal value, and
as many ferns are named. The male
fern is a remedy for tapeworm, and
the female fern is good for lumbago
and coughs.
All the old-fashioned flowers and
several table vegetables find place in
the list of remedies. The lady slip
per is for the nerves, especially in
hysteria, and the larkspur seed is for
dropty. Lettuce is for colics and
coughs, and asparagus root for the
kidneys. The blossom of the ox-eyed
daisy is reoommended for asthma, con
sumption and dropsical complaints.
The peony is for weak nerves and the
red rose is for "hassik hemorrhages
and catarrhs.
Most of the patent medioines are
represented in the stock of the botanic
druggist by their original elements.
The makers of such remedies deal
largely with the wholesale houses,
and so do the makers of drugs, tinc
tures, ointments and embrocations.
Forty or fifty herbs, plants and flow
ers indigenous to California and Aus
tralia are among the new additions to
the stook of botanio druggists.
There is an extensive importing
business oonnected with the trade in
medicinal herbs, and the druggists
keep, aside from the dried herbs in
their natural state, a quantity of
freshly powdered roots, herbs, barks
and flowers, domeatio and foreign. All
these articles are sold by the pound or
ounce, ana received by tho whole
salers in bales, bags aud boxes, great
and small. There is a small army of
men, womon aud children the world
over gathering herbs, roots and plants
lor the botanio UruggiHts, and there is
much care and expense put upon the
culture of such things. Trices vary
from season to season, and quotations
cannot long be depended upon. Many
ot tnese raw materials are expensive.
Larkspur seed sells at $2 per ounce,
and uaosafrua pith, quaintly recoin
lueuded in an iufiuioa of rose water for
bore eyes, fetches $1 au ouuee. Many
of the herbs that go to make familiar
patent medioines seem very cheap,
botanio (UuggiaU keep Uo maay
extracts worth from 1 to 50 per
pound, and scores of easontial oils, aa
of anise, of catnip, of golden rod, of
horseradish, of rue, of sago, of cala
mus, of parsley and of pennyroyal.
The art of extracting those oils is part
of the herb doctors' knowledge, and
as well of the manufacturing drug
gists'. New York Bun.

Made Him Raise the Fine.
A man from Troy told this story the
other day to a small company of
friends about a police justioe in a
little town in Bensselaer County : It
was the law of the village that all
showmen, itinerants and organ grind
ers must get a license before doing
business there. One day a fat police
man, who had boen on the force about
six months without doing anything,
concluded that it was time he arrested
somebody. Soon afterward along came
an Italian with a performing bear.
"Hev yez got yer license? asked
the policeman.
'No, aaid the exhibitor of the
bear.
"Then yer my priz'ners," said the
policeman, and he triumphantly
marched off with them to the village
station house, he leading the Italian
and the Italian leading the bear.
Arraigned before the police justice
the Italian pleaded guiltv, and the
judge officiously gave him a most
severe and soorehing lecture on the
enormity of his offense, ending by
fining him $10, the full extent of the
law. The culprit had a lot of small
change in his pooket, but being mostly
pennies and nickels it only counted
up to $7.60. For a very few moments
the judge was in a quandary. lis
didn't like to send the fellow to jail,
nor yet lose the $10. Presently a
bright idea struck him a happy solu
tion of the problem and he said :
"Here, officer I Take this fellow
out to the market plaoe and let him
perform with his bear until he makoa
up the balanoe, and when he gets it
drive him out of town." Buffalo
News.

It will be seen from the above table
that, although there is, upon the
whole, a steady increase of tempera
ture as depth is attained, the rate of
increase is not uniform and regular.
There is no way of telling why this is
so, although it has been suggested
that in the case where the temperature
actually decreases two degrees in the
desoent of a hundred feet (as was the
case between the 300 aud 400 levels),
the difference was due to the charac
ter of the rock in which the recording
instrument was inserted one level
being of limestone formation, the
other of cold, blaok trap rock. St.

Influence ot Color ou Diseases.
Experiments have been tried with a
view to ascertain if color has an effect
on certain forms of disease. In mak
ing this test, a number of small-pox
patients were placed in a room to
which only red light was admitted.
The patients were for the most part
those Buffering from unusually severe
attacks, and about half of them being
nnvaooinated childred. In spite of the
violent form of the malady, they all
made speedy and safe recoveries, with
very little fever and but few soars.

To renovate old foathers, pnt the
bed out on the grass in the rain and
let it got good and wet. Then let it
dry in the sun, but keep working it
Avery little while, so that the damp
feathers will get the benefit of the
heat. Do not leave the bed in the sun
a moment after the feathers have dried
well, for the heat draws the oil out of
the feathers aud will make them smell

When preparing onions for cooking
hold them below tho surface of the
water in a deep pan and your eyes will
not be affected, though you should
pare and slice a largo quantity. This
method is used in piokling establish
ments, where bushels of them are put
tip daily ; but, remember, the hands,
knife and onions must be kept under
the water. It is a good plan to have
two pans of water when the onions are
to be sliced, so that they may be pared
in one pan and then thrown into the
other one for slicing. Drain through
a colander before cooking. New York
World.
POINTS ABOVT MEAT.
In selecting the meat in respoct to
cost, the lower round averages from
thirteon to fifteen cents a pound,
while the upper oost from fifteen to
twenty-five cents. If the steak is
wished for broiling, purchase the up
per round, but for Hamburg steaks,
bouillon, anything in whioh tne meat
is to be chopped before using, the
lower round will do as well at a much
less oost. The aitch-bone costs from
eight to ten cents a pound and makes
a very good pot roast, when treated
properly, as tender and well flavored
as the round. The middle out of the
shin is usually more a pound than the
rest of the leg, but that at five cents a
pound makes as good soup stock as
that at seven cents. In buying a
roast of beef it is nsnally eaonomy to
get a good-sized one. The meat is
better, and mado-ovor dishes oost far
less than a roast each day. New York
World.
BEEF STEWED WITHOUT WATER,
Take three or four pounds of the
found of beef. Put three slices of salt
pork in a sauoepan and as soon as it is
crisp take it out and put ono onion
and half a small carrot cut fine. Stir
all the while till brown. Then add
one cup of canned tomatoes, two sprigs
of parsley, a. bay leaf, three or four
cloves, a teaspoonful of sweet marjo
ram, one-half teaspoonful celery salt,
salt and pepper. Put in the meat and
oover tightly, and cook in a moderate
oven five hours. When about half
done turn the meat. The cover must
be perfeotly air tight, and the oven
moderate. When done plaoe the meat
on a hot platter, strain the gravy ;
thioken with a litt'.e cornstarch wet up
in cold water, add a tablespoonfnl ot
sauce, let it boil up a few minutes and
pour around the moat. Any tough
piece of beefsteak may be made very
palatable, cooked according to the
above directions. Home and Farm.
ro BUST A ROOM.
Soft cloths make the best of duBt.
ers. In dusting any piece of furni
ture begin at the top and dust down,
wiping carefully with the oloth, which
can be frequently shaken. A good
many people seem to have no idea
what dusting is intended to accom
plish, and instead of wiping off and
removing the dust, it is simply flirted
off into the air and soon settles down
upon the articles dusted again.
If carefully taken up by the cloth
it can be shaken off out of the window
into the open air.
If the furniture will permit the use
of a damp oloth, that will more easily
take up the dust, and it oan be washed
out in a pail of soapsuds.
It is far easier to save work by cov
ering up nice furniture while sweep
ing than to clear the dust out, besides
leaving the furniture looking far bet
ter in the long run. The blessing of
plainness in decoration is appreciated
by the thorough housekeeper who does
hor own work while dusting New

RECIPE3.
, Steak Boast Take a round of steak,
pound, pepper and salt it well. Take
dry bread crumbs, and make a dress
ing ot them and spread over the top
of the steak. Boll it up and tie it
with a string, put it in a pan and roast
forty minutes.
Apple Tapioca Pudding Soak a
cup of pearl tapioca in one pint of
water for two hours; stir into it three
quarters ot a cup ot white sugar, a
oup ot thin sweet cream, and half a
teaspoonful of salt. Pare and quar
ter eight large Greening apples, put
them in a pudding dish, turn the
tapiooa over them, grate a little nut
meg over the top aud bake an hour
and a quarter in a slow oven. Serve
with whipped cream.
Chicken With Mushrooms Have
ready one pound of cold ohioken
ohopped fine and one-half pint ot
mushrooms out in small pieces. Cover
these with water and boil five min
utes. Skim out the mushrooms into
a hot dish. There should be left a
coffee-oupful of liquid. If not enough
add milk to the hot liquid. Thicken
this with a tableupoonful of flour,
same amount of butter and season.
Three minutes boiling will thioken it
Add the chicken and mushrooms and
cook two minutes, stirring constantly.
Serve on hot platter.
Strawberry Cream Cake Make a
light sponge cake and bake in jelly
tins. Soak a quarter of a box of gela
tine in half a cup of cold water. Whip
a pint of cream and put it in a granite
pan, standing this iuside of another
containing cracked ice. Add to the
cream half a cup of powdered sugar
and a teaspoonful of vanilla sugar.
Stir the gelatine over boiling water un
til it is dissolved, add it to the cream,
and stir at once until it begins to
thicken. When the cakes are oold put
a thick layer of this cream over each
and stand strawberries thiokly on ;
pile one on top of another and let the
top layer be cream and strawberries.
This is not so costly a desert as it

Rome men are so made that the mere taste
or liquor will kindle la them a raging thirst
for more.
A doctor and his friend were onae talking
together in front ot a saloon when a master
mechanic, a man ot amiable and excellent
character, a llrst-clnsa workman, full ot
business, with nn Interesting fumily, re
spected l y hverybo ly and bidding fair to be
one of the leading men ot tho olty oame Up
lo tliem and laughingly mil
" tVell, I have just done what I never did
before In my life."
. "Ah, what was that."
"Why, Mi. hu owed me a hill for
work for n long time nnd I dunned l.im for
the money till I was tire I, but a mluute ago
I caught him out here, ant asket him for
the money 'Well,' he said, 'I'll pay It to
you If you'll step lu here, and get a drink
with me.' '.No,' ontd I, 'I never drink
never dr.ink in my life.' 'Well.' be replied,
'.lo us you please; If you won't drink with
me, I won't p.iy your bill that's all !' But
I told htm I could not do that. However,
flu ling he would not pay the bill, rather
than lose the money. I jut went in and got
the drink." And he laughed at the strange
occurrence as he concluded.
As soon as he had finished the stonr, the
phyaicinn's companion, an old, discreet,
shrewd man. turned to him, and in a most
impress'vu toue, suld
"Sir, that was tho dearest r"rlnk that ever
crossed your lips, aud the worst bill you
t-ver collected."
And terribly did time verify that predic
tion. In lues than twelve months he was a
continued, disgr.toed ant, a vagabond in so
ciety, a curse to those who loved him, a
loathing and a shame wherever he went. At
last he died a horrible d-wlh In nn infirmary

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?
Jt Is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder ia
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet
est, most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble ?
Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift
or prize, or at a lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sul
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.
Flowers Affect the Singer's Throat.
In ono of the Parisian journals a long
discussion haa boon going on with re
gard to the effoot, injurious or other
wise, that flowers have upon a ainger'a
throat. The consensus of opinion
among the opera singers seems to be
that certain flowers, notably tuborosos
and mimosa, are particularly danger
ous. Mme. Christine Nilsson, in her let
ter on this subjoct, montions the case
of a celebrated woman singer with
whom she was appearing in concert
some years ago. As they stood in the
wings waiting for the first number on
the programme to be announced, a
friend sent a huge wreath to the singer,
which was made of tuberoses. Tho
singer buried her nose in the flowers
for a moment, and three minutes later
when she went npon tho stage to aing
she found that she could not raise a
note. The vocal chord had been tem
porarily paralyzed. A doctor was
called, the flowers were thrown out of
a window and the dinger, after her
throat had boen treated, was ablo to
aing later in the evening. Mile. Em
ma Calve in this article also upholds
Mme. Nilsson's opinion.
"The only flowers that I ever admit
into my living apartments," write
Calve, ''are rosea and violets. The
tuberose is my particular abhorrenoe,
not alone because it suggests death,
but on account of its injurious effect
on the voice. Upon entering a room
where lilies are 1 always have an ir
resistible desire to throw the windows
open. They always irritate my throat.
In my mind there is no doubt about
all flowers being injurious to the
throat except roses. Personally I can
also exempt the violet, but other sing
ers have told me that it hod an in
jurious effect upon their vocal chords. "
