NATURE’S DOCTORS.
Hew the Adirondack Mountaineer
Fight* Bodily Ills.
"When the Adirondack native be¬
comes afflicted with any of the nu¬
merous trifling ills which make
mankind wretched,” said the return¬
ed visitor to a New York Herald re,
porter, “he does not waste much
time on doctors, hut goes straight to
the woods or the attic for nature’s
own remedies. There is one old
man whom I have met with a pack
basket on shoulder and shears and a
rough board stool in his mittened
hands, going after yarrow, which,
dried, is tne standby for coughs
when it ha= been made into a wick¬
ed looking brew. Fir balsam, coax¬
ed drop by drop from the blisters,
which swell on the balsam fir at full
moon, is a sovereign remedy for
chest and lung complaints.
“Gravel weed, by which name
they insult trailing arbutus, is ex¬
cellent for the complaint which
gives it it»* name, and bladder root
has a desirable effect on the kidneys
and neighboring organs. Sage tea,
containing a little summer savory,
is efficacious for worms in children,
lor which bolmonia, also steeped, is
also used. Sunflower seeds, also
steeped, strained and sweetened with
molasses, will cure the whooping
cough. Horseradish leaves wilted
and bbund on the face and back of
the neck, will drive away*neuralgia,
and a nutmeg, bored and tied
around the neck, will keep it away.
The nutmeg must be renewed about
once every six weeks.
“Onions, sliced, pounded and
placed in a cloth and laid over the
affected part, will draw out inflam¬
mation. A red onion, halved and
with one part slightly scooped out
and the cup placed over a carbuncle
or a boil, will speedily remove the
pus and has saved life;
“There are many more of these
simple remedies in the North woods
pharmacopoeia which the wise ones
have they at their fingers’ widely ends, and if
are not more used and
money thrifty kept in the overalls of the
native it is because a leni¬
ent and more fortunate fate pre¬
sides over the incomes of the Adi¬
rondack medicos.”
Ir. a Hurry.
Henry f t Ion Merriman—his real
name was Hugh Scott—was one of
the swiftest writers the world has
ever seen. Mr. Mcrriman only wrote
at long intervals, but when he once
sat dovvu at his desk he would pro¬
duce two or three chapters of 5,000
words each in an evening.
Once he argued with Walter Pa¬
ter at Oxford on this matter.
“Nothing,” Mr. Pater reiterated—
“nothing hurry.” can be done well that is
done in a

“Nothing,” “How about said making Mr. Pater. train?”

Modern.
The fairy godmother was about
to touch the pumpkin with her
Wand.
“Oh, dear firstcausemother,” in¬
terposed Cinderella, who had be¬
come imbued with sundry modern
ideas, “no coach, if you please. The
prince is only a man, after all, and
Hie way to a man’s heart is through
his stomach. Turn the pumpkin
into a pie and leave me to pretend 1
made it all myself.”
But hereupon it transpired that
the forces of magic were not with¬
out their limitations.—Puck.
What tha Jars Mean.
A stranger on walking through
the streets of Chinese towns for the
first time is puzzled, among other
things, by the appearance of jars in
various posi tions on the roofs of the
houses. On inquiry he learns that
a jar placed with its bottom end to¬
ward the street indicates that the
daughter of the house is not yet of
age to marry. As soon as she has
developed into a marriageable maid¬
en the jar is turned with its mouth
to the street, and when the young
lady gets married the jar is removed
altogether.
Quit* Another Matter.
Uncle George—Instead of wear¬
ing diamonds, don’t you think it
would be more becoming to pay your
tailor’s bills?
bills Harry—But if I paid my tailor’s
how could I afford to wear dia¬
monds? And if people didn’t buy
diamonds what would keep the dia¬
mond merchants from starving to
death ?
Uncle George—But you don’t pay
lor your diamonds either.
Harry—Ah, from the point. now you are wander¬

SUGAR CANE’S *
GREAT FUTURE;
- I
PAPER BEING MADE FROM'
WHEAT WAS WASTED
BEFORE.
Paper Suitable for Cigarette
Wrappers to Heavy Wrapping
Paper—What the Discovery
Means to The Sugar Cane
Grower.
Samples of the paper made
f rors the bagasse of sugar cane,
turned out; under government
supervision at the Cumberland
Mills, Portland, Me., were re¬
ceived in Savannah yesterday by
Capt. D. G. Purse, president of
the Interstate Sugar Cane Grow
ers Association. The paper is
made in several grades and of a
quality that will make its use
possible for almost every pur¬
pose for which any kind of paper
is demanded.
The samples range in grade
from paper thin enough to be
used f>r cigarette wrappers to
that of a thickness and a tough¬
ness sufficient for the heaviest
wrapping paper. As the paper
can be made perfectly white, and
is capable of receiving a fine fin¬
ish, it can be used for making
the finest stationery as well as
for the commoner uses. As has
already been stated another re¬
cent product of bagasse is a sort
of tough cardboard that closely
resembles leather and which it
is believed, will prove a cheap
but valuable substitute for that
material in a number of indus¬
tries.
VALUE OB’ BAGASSE
What the success of the ex¬
periments in paper making
means will become apparent
when it is known that bagasse
has hitherto been an absolutely
waste product, cane grinders
burning as much of it as they
could and carrying the remain¬
der any where to get it out of the
way.
It is believed that the possi¬
bilities of the material as a basis
for numerous articles of value in
daily commerce will become so
developed within a short time
that it may prove profitable in
the near future to grow cane for
the bagasse alone, without consid
ering the value of the sy rup and
the sugar at all.
Many of these possibilities will
be shown at the second annual
convention of the Interstate Su¬
gar Cane Growers Association,
to be held in Jacksonville May
4-5-6. Capt. Purse will leave for
Jacksonville Saturday an! will
remain in that city until after
the convention adjourns.—Morn¬

A Cure for Piles.
“I had a bad case of piles,” says G. F.
Carter, o’ Atlanta, Ga., “aud consulted

is splendid for piles, giving relief instant¬
ly, and I heartily recommend it to all
sufferers.” DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve

Hog Notes.
It is best to bring the pigs up
rather slowly until six or seven
months old, then if designed for
the butcher crowd them forward
for forty to sixty days.
Many farmers boast of being
good feeders. There are other
things better for stock than con¬
tinual stuffing. Uncomfortable
quarters and filth will develop
disease.
Even a hog enjoys being clean.
The hog is the farmer’s friend
«nd his best money-making in¬
vestment, therefore deserves a
clean feeding-place, and more
comfortable sleeping quarters
than the warm side of a wire
fence.
When pigs are on a full grain
ration it is well to give what
pumpkins, beets, cooked pota¬
toes, etc., they will eat after hav¬
ing received their full ration of
grain.
These foods have somewhat
the same value as bran in equal¬
izing a concentrated ration and
in keeping the bowels free and
the system cool. If fed before
the grain to fattening animals,
they will be unable to take con¬
centrates enough to make rapid
gains, as foods of this character
do not cause the rapid accumula
lion of fat.
If bran is used in making slop
for hogs add a little oil meal.
The pens should be cleaned
every day and plenty of litter
furnished for a warm bed.
The floors should be tight so no
drafts of cold air can creep in.
The house, should be well ven¬
tilated and still be kept above the
freezing point.
Use corn sparingly for brood
sows. Depend on peas, oats,
shorts, barley, roots and clover.
Give them exercise.
