VALUE OF SEAWEEDS.
The t’se of Irish Moss as a Food and
a Medicine.
Irish moss is used as a foundation for
many desserts in the dietary kitchens
where especial dishes are prepared for
invalids. An authority on the question
of seaweeds states that scurvy, the
dread of sailors, caused by the absence
of potash iu the salt meat which forms
a part of every ship’s provisions, would
be ameliorated by the liberal use of sea
moss Jelly, which is rich in potash.
Irish moss has always a place in the
medicine chest of the old fashioned
housewife, who pins her faith to its
healing properties for colds, sore
throats, etc. On the coast where the
moss is gathered and also iu the major
ity of Irish families the moss is boiled,
strained, boiled again with lemon juice
and sugar, until it is of the consistency
of sirup. It is taken hot, a teaspoonful
at a time, and is said to be a very good
remedy for the maladies referred to.
The Indians use the ashes of seaweed
for granular swellings. It is also used
by the Chinese, and so highly is it priz
ed by them both as n medicine and a
food that it is gathered in some parts
of the Pacific coast, principally at Mon
terey, and sent back to China,
The supply of seaweed of every de
scription seems inexhaustible, as that
pulled or reaped from the rocks is re
placed by another and a more luxuriant
growth the following year. On the At
lantic coast it is harvested only during
the months from June to August, but
at Monterey it is gathered every day all
the year around.—Leslie’s Weekly.
SLOT MACHINES.
They Were Used During the Time
and Reign of it:miese.s.
A correspondent of the Boston Her- '
aid writes: “It is true there are few
things new under the sun. ‘Air beds,’ or
what we call pueumatic beds, were
used by the Romans before the Chris
tian era. The most remarkable duplica
tion of an old invention is the niekel
in-the-slot machine. This was first
used during the time anil reign of Rain
eses, in the eighteenth dynasty of
Egypt, for the purpose of supplying
holy water, that which had been bless
ed by the priests, to the people who
desired it. The machine was urn shap
ed, with a small cylinder inside,
through which ran a rod connecting a
valve at the bottom of the cylinder
with one at the top. These were oper
ated by a lever, which closed the bot
tom valve while opening that at the
top, when the cylinder would fill with a
fixed amount of water. To obtain the
water a cup was placed at the outlet; a
coin of three drachmae, equal to about
75 cents of our money, was dropped
into the ‘slot’ on to a scale pan iu the
end of the lever. This opened the cyl
inder at the top and closed the lower
valve, allowing the coin to slide off, the
weight of "water closing the top valve,
opening the lower one and allowing the
water to run into the cup. This is the
basis of all patented slot machines of
the present time and dates back to
neariv 3,000 B. C.”
HOW TO STUDY PROPERLY.
Bookd Should Be Well Choaeu and
Read Carefully, Not Devoured.
Study is like a dinner. The viands
must be well choi»,and eaten slowly,
not devoured, thiitf well turned over
In the mental stomach for awhile un
til with ease and comfort they are per
fectly digested and furnish nutriment
to the brain. Most students study
without thought, which is like eating
without digesting. Others read merely
as a fad and soon forget all they may
have learned.
The most satisfactory method of
study is the digestive. It Is the thor
ough one—the one that gives strength
to the brain. Take the subject you are
studying. Read a few lines or a few
pages, as the case may be, then put
the book down and think on winy: you
have read. Turn it about in your mind
from every standpoint. Do not a\S‘Pt
It immediately. Argue for'and ag.ffiis't
it in your mind. In other words, masti
cate it. You need not be at your leisure
to do tills. Do it in your walks, In your
Idle moments, at any time. When you
have satisfied yourself on the subjast
go on with a little more in tlie same
way. In a short time you will find
yourself more a thorough student than
If you had read all at a sitting. The
best educated man In the end is the
man who learns slowly, but surely.

TRIAL FROM DANCE OF DEATH
Two Other Negroes Will Be Tried
For Crime.
Among the two or three murder
cases to be tried here this week, quite
likely, is that against Witobell Haja
and the other negro Ed Davis, charg
ed with the murder of Jim Brown at a
negro “shakedown” m Hudson’s
Alley some two or three months ago.
The negro slum, at the time the fatal
ballet reached his heart, was upon the
floor dancing and died in a short time.
Hays acd Davis were both held for the
killing and will probably be tried to
day or toaorrow,

from the kidney secretion*, They will
warn you when the kidneys are sick.
Woll kidneys excrete a clear, amber
fluid. Sick kidneys send out a fhiu,
pale and foamy or a thick, red, ill
smelling urine, full of sediment and
irregular of passage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO, 2 comes

kidneys and cure ibom permanently.
Here’s Americus proof:
A. A. Wiliiti, a well known farmer
living just outside of Americus, says:
“I believe that your pills are all that is
claimed for them I had kidney trouble
and backache, from whioh I had been
a sufferer for many year. After lying
or sitting in any one position for any
length of time I could hardly get up on
account of the dull heavy pain in the
small of my back, At times I seemed
almost to lose the use of my back, and
would have to hold to something for
support. Tne kidney secretions were
disoidered, being dark, full of sediment
aud of strong odor. ;i used manv differ
ent remedies, but with out much \f any
benefit until I got Doan’s Kidney Pills.
Since using them my back feels stronger.
The pain has left it, and the kidney
secretions have also been restored to a
normal condition. You are welcome to
nse my name as a reference.”
