THE CELANDINE.
Am Ancient Remedy (or Cancer ifoi
Almost Forgotten.
' In a recent Science Echo attention
was called to the use of Chelidoaium sap
in. the treatment of cancer successfully
practiced by a St. Peterwrburg doctor.
Mr. Leeson Prince writes to the current
numrjer of Nature giving quotations
from ancient writers showing tht this
plant was highly valued by them for
medicinal purposes. Thus in a Latin
work published in 1491 at Mayence, in
speaking of the plant Chelidonium
imajus, we read: "And for cancer of the
mouth the powder of the root is com
pounded with the powder of roses and
boiled, with vinegar."
Again, in a Dutch etlitionipublisihied in
1C44, of a work of Theophrastus, after
describing a method of preparing a de
coction of the plant, the writer goes on
to say: "The use of this liquid isi es
teemed, which taken into the body cor
rects and dispells all corrupt pernicious
humors." Great botanistslike Linnaeus,
Murray and others have, it seems, ex
pressed in their writings astonishment
at the oblivion into which a plant so
energetic as the Celandine has fallen,
while the ancients knew how to appre
ciate its qualities. After all, then,
Wordsworth may be forgiven for writ
ing two odes to the greater and lesser
Celandine, respectively, and the scathing
eaTcasim bestowed upon, him for so do
ing by Byron was scarcely merited. a
GORGEOUS MALE SERVANTS.
Lord Mayor' Gentlemen' Uniform
to Clothe Dusky Monarch.
I was told some amusing facta the
other day about the lord mayor's men
servants. It seems, says a writer in
the Collector, that the present lord
mayor has 15, eight of whom are over
six feet in height. Their livery is sap
phire blue velvet, with heavy gold lace.
These uniforms are only worn during
the year of office, after which they be
come the property of the servants, who
acll them to the firm which supplied
them.
This is an ancient house, having the
monopoly of supplying' uniforms to the
servants of city grandees. And what
do you suppose becomes of these
clothes eventually? They are sent out
to African kings for wear on state oc
casions, at least the majority are,
though a few are retained for the the
aters. lint the most comical part ot the
whole affair is that the firm of clothiers
is sometimes asked to send out a
throne or a crown of gold to the dusky
potentates with the garments. And
they do it, too; a city merchant will
supply anything under the sun. (. ,
Ornament ExclinnKed for Food.
During the Indian famine of 1870-1880
the mint at Bombay received $13,000,000
worth of gold and silver ornaments,

BASHFUL BOB BURDETTE.
A
One Time When
Uio Humorist Wan
y Limn for a Ili'ply.
v I heard a good and altogether new
story of liob liurdotte and the late
Thomas A. Hendricks, says a writer in
the Kansas City Times. Several years
ago, while the lamented Indianian was
touring the west, urdetto was the
funny man of the Burlington Ilawkeyo.
In that capacity ho wrote a good many
satirical verses concerning Mr. Hen
dricks. One day Hurdetto was at a
railroad hotel at Iowa City when the
proprietor culled him.
"See hero, Hob," said the Ilonifaco
"there's a man in tho dining-room
whom you're just dying to meet. Couia
along."
"Who is it?" asked tho humorist,
hanging back.
"O, come on: it's all right," said tho
hotel man, and with that Burdette was
huhtled into the eating room.
"Mr. Hendricks Mr. Hurdette," said
tho proprietor, whereupon a handsome,
smiling man arose from a table, and, ex
tending his hand'to tho mau from Bur
lington, said:
"And so this is Mr. Burdette, is it?"
"Y yes," returned the now quaking
humorist.
"You're the man who wrote 'The Bad
Man From Injianny,' are you?"
1 "I did, but that was only itt "
' "Let me see," went on the states
man smiling. "It ran like this, didn't
it?i'
And Mr. Hendricks proceeded to re
cite the whole poem. Then ho recalled
another and another, reciting, before
ho was through, half a dozen of the
satirical outbursts in rhyme that had
been directed against him.
"I never felt really bashful before,"
said the genial humorist, now of Brook
lyn, "but that wn.s the time when 1
would have welcomed an earthquake
that would have swallowed mo up."
The Hindoo Funeral.
' When a Hindoo dies the services of an
undertaker are not needed, as word Is
immediately sent to the relatives and
friends of the deceased, who meet nt
the house and attend to all the details
of the funeral. Some of them buy at
tho bazar the nitielesi necessary for
the ceremony, such as a piece of linen,
copper pots, pieces of sandalwood, one
earthen pot, Rome "ghee," or clarified
butter, riee, n few split chips of bam
boo and two strong bamlboo poles for
the bier. In rainy weather some oil
and resin to revive the flames are added
to the stock of necessaries. A sacred
grass, the "dcrbhas," and. some "tulai"
leaves are spread over the bier. It is
very necessary that the son of the de
ceased should perform the ceremony.
If he is absent at the time of the death
the father or brother of the deceased or
some other male member of the family
may take Mm place. When there is no
son in the family one is adopted for tho

A1E A BARREL OF EGGS A DAV.
Shipwrecked Men (tabulated on Them for
Twelve Days.
"Do you like eggs?" was the question
trust stirred up a " 49er" to make
some talk In a Bangor store the other
day. Ha was an old man, says the
Lewiston (Me.) Journal, and he
straightened up to something like the
height of his prime as he answered:
"I had a eurfoit of them once-. 'Twas
many years ago when I was on the way
home from Calif omia. We left the
isthmus on a good brig bound for New
York but ran into a coral reef in the
Cariblnean tea aind wore wrecked. It
wrw a jxitoh of sand just out of the
water, but you ought to see the flocks
of sea fowl that nestled on it. They
had to move ou t of the way to give us
room to stay there and that was about
all they would do. Their nests were
everywhere and there were eggs in
abundnncei. We at about a barrel of
them every day during the 12 days
we were there. Some of us got oil in
a tNwt and went -to han Juan, in
N.icairagna, where we gat a vessel to
go after those we left on the reef. That
vessel wa commanded by William
Lawrence, of Hath, who was killed by
a man named Wilkinson while he was
a policeman, there. We tried to get.
to the reef, but bad weather stove in
up so we had to set in foT New Otv
leans, whero we found the rest of the
men rescued by another vessel. But

culiar expression.
A CLOSE TRADE.
Au Instance of "Nearness" That Ia Hard
to Heat,
The close-fisted and the absent-mind
cd serve a similar use they amnse
their neighbors. The New York Sun
quotes a man from tho rural districts
as telling a story of a Mr. Putterby, an
old-time townsman of his, whose repu
tation for "nearness" was evidently
well deserved. Locally he was thought
to be almost a prodigy in this respect,
but no story of this kind is so good but
that another can bo found to beat it.
Ono of tho coins current in those
days was the old Spanish silver-piece,
which passed for twelve and a half
cents, and was variously called "nine-
pence," "York shilling" and "bit." It
was the existence of this coin that en
abled Mr. Putterby to achieve his
crowning triumph in the way of a close
trade.
A farm-boy came along one day with
a load of pumpkins, which he was ped
dling about the village at a cent
apiece. Mr. Putterby looked at them,
concluded to buy, but wanted only
half a pumpkin.
"Hut a whole one Is only a cent,"
said the boy. "How are you going to
pay mo for half a one?
"Easiest thing in the world," said
Mr. Putterby. ,
The pumpkin was cut, he took one
half under his arm, and handed the boy
a sinning.
"Aow give me the twelve cents
change," he said; and taking the
twelve coppers from the astonished
boy, he walked away with his pur
chase. CHANCES OF LONGEVITY.

CUKE OF CONSUMPTION.
And Prevention of Spread of tbe Disease
Puzzles Physicians.
Tbe sabjeot of preventing tbe spread
of consumption Is creating widespread
discussion by tbe medical fraternity who
realize to what an alarming extent tbe
disease baa obtained a hold on tbe
human race. A reoent dispatoh from
London shows what feeling exists aoross
the water. It reads:
"At a meeting of eminent medioal men
and others held today in Gray's Inn ball
plans were discussed for the holding of
a great international congress in London
for tbe disoussion ot ways and means for
preventing tbe spread ot consumption.
Sir William Broadbent presided over
tbe meeting and various preliminary
details in connection with tbe congress
were settled. .Tbe congress will prob
ably be beld in the spring of 1901, and it
is hoped to seoare tbe participation of
eminent medioal men and scientists
from all portions of Europe, America
and Australia. The movement is being
agitated bv tbe National Association tor
tbe prevention of consumption, tf whicb
tbe Prince of Wales is patron. Though
the association has bat a oomparativelv
brief existanoe it reports having accom
plished a great deal of work in spread
ing a knowledge of tbe means of avert
ing tbe spread of the disease. Eminent
medical men, public authorities and
sooieties throughout Great Britain have
taken op tbe movement, branobes ot tbe
association are actively working in many
large cities, and a quarterly journal is
being published in the interest of the
crusade. Through the medium of tbe
proposed oongress it is hoped tbat tbe
movement may beoome world wide in
its scope and eifeots.
He Got Information.
A man wbo does not take bis home
paper, bat occasionally answers adver
tisements in "story papers" has bad
some interesting experiences, says an
exchange. He learned that by sending
one dollar to a Yankee be oonld get a
oure for drankeness. Sure enough be
did. It was to "take tbe pledge and
keep it," Later on he sent fifty two
oent stamps to find oat how to raise
tnrnips successfully. He found oat,
"Just take hold of tbe tops and pall."
Being young he wished to marry, and
sent thirty-four one-cent stamps to a
Chicago firm for information as to bow
to make an impression. When tbe
answer oame it read, "Sit down in a pan
of dou4h-" Tbat was a little rough but
be was a patient man, and tbonght hr
would yet succeed. Tbe next advertise
ment be Answered read, "How to double
your money in six mouths" He whs
told to convert bis money into bills, fold
them, and he would see bis money
doable. Tbe next time he sent for
twelve useful household articles, and
got a package ot needles, Ha was slow
to learn, so he sent a dollar to find
out "bow to get rioh" ''Work like
tbe devil and never spend a cent."
That stopped him, bat bis brother
wrote to find oat bow to write a letter
without pen or ink. He was tild t j
use a lead pencil. He paid five dol
lars tojearn bow to live without work
and was told on a postal-card, "to fish

Said to lie a Sure Indication of Mental
Poverty.
There appear to be whole races of
men the North American Indians and
the Cingalese Veddas, or example,
that are destitute of the seiiBe of the
ludicrous. And iu th-? higher ruces,
says the Fortnightly Keview, this sense
Is by no means universally found. The
richest intellects possess ft in am
plest measure. The absence of it is a
sure indication of mental poverty.
"Here conies a fool, let's be grave," said
Charles Lamb upon one occasion. And
I rememb"r a friend vf my own ob
serving of a somewhat taciturn person
whom we had met : "He must be a man
of sense, for, although he said little, he
laughed in the right pl.xr.e." That laugh
is a manifestation of intellectual abun
dance or exuberance; it is something
over and above the actual work of life.
And so we may adapt to our present
purpose certain wordi of Schiller's in
his letters on Aesthetic Education:
"Man sports (spielt) only when he is
man in the full signification of the
word, and then only i he a complete
man (ganz Mensch) when he sports,"
I need hardly observe how grossly
this faculty of the ludicrous may be
abused. There is noth'ng more diabol
ical in the strictest s"nse of the word
than to turn into riilieiile " hiitsocv
er things are true, wluiisoexcr th'n
are honest, w hatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever
things are lovely, whatsoever things
are of good report." There is no more
detestable occupation than that of "sap
ping a solemn creed wit's solemn sneer."
liut it is a maxim of jurisprudence.
"Abusus non tollit usmn." And this
holds universally.

A TBAGKDY.
Away up In the Kootenays,
At the toot ota mountain high,
Where the lunsblne dare not enter,
And the tall pines only sigh,
Standi i little, old log cabin,
Clustered o'er with creeping vines,
There sits a haggard miner,
Who is hiding from a crime.
While gazing at the glowing fire,
He sees a sad, sweet face
Of an unsuspecting country girl,
Whom be flattered and disgraced.
And as the snow-flakes softly fall,
He remembers, 'tis Christmas eve,
And wonders where she is tonight,
That "poor thing" he deceived.
"T'was her fault. She was handsome,
With face and form divine,
While I, I was but human,
Yet, I pleaded 'Love be mine.'
Silly girl. Life's taught her better,
Ah, me! What's that? A face?
P'shaw. I am getting childish,
As the days roll on apace."
Open wide, he flings the shutters,
The cold air fans his cheek,
The snow-capped guards of granite,
For his secret seem to seek
"Well, up here in the mountains
I am safe from any harm,
And perhaps she has forgotten
Our little romance on the farm."
A form steals from the shadows
Of the tall and whispering pines,
With love now turned to hatred,
Though she worshiped at a time,
A flash of sceel in the moonlight,
A man's life ebbing fast
"Helen! You Christmas found me,
The atonement's come at last."
Away up in the Kootenays,
At the close of Christmas day,
A lifeless form, with dagger wound,
In front of his cabin lay.
But a woman in a parlor car,
As the miles go swiftly by,
Bees a crimson stain, on a field of snow,
The tears fall from her eye.
