GOLDEN ROD AS A REMEDY
Plant Dedicated to St. Augustine of
Hippo Was Once Used by
Physicians.
St. Augustine of Hippo, I lit* great
doctor of the church whose festival
fell on August V’S, is a -adly nog-j
looted saint among modern rilmil
ists, and e ven occasionally confused
with the namesake who insulted our
British hi-hops. Vet lie is pro
nounced by Hooker ‘‘without any
equal,” and regarded by llarmnk
as “the lirsl modern man.” He has
boon better honored in the floral
world, for to him is dedicated the
golden rod or wound wort (Solida
go virgnuroa.) Old Gerardo, with
whim this was a favorite remedy,
tells us that golden rod fetched a
high price as a foreign herb until
discovered growing near London,
when the plant was neglected, lie
adds the caustic comment : "This
verifieth our Knglish proverb 'Far
fetcht and dear bought is best for
ladies,’ or for fantastical physi
cians.” Before tobacco the golden
rod also furnished snuff for our me
dieval forefathers. — Westminster
Gazette.
IMPECUNIOUS.
"My dear, I wish you would bring
me ‘The Holy City.’ ’’
“Good gracious, love! I can’t even
afford to buy Brighton!”
CHEAP WEDDING BREAKFAST.
After making special arrange

to decorate a table with flowers and

groom who was married here recent

party of persons would order alt
er they had seated themselves, ap
peared at the appointed time with
the party and ordered codec and
cake for them, which they took one
hour to consume.
After finishing their feast the hap
py husband gave the much cha
grined proprietor $.'>.?0 and left.

HEIGHT OF CRIMINALS.
Dr. Charles I'erricr says tlint
criminals are for the most part of
medium height. 'I liicves, lie says,
he found to be almost exclusively
of medium stature and beggars near
ly always of medium or slightly un
der that height. "It is seldom,” he
savs, “that a fully developed beg
gar nature can lie found in a large
frame.” .Murderers, on the other
hand, Ids observations prove to b<
above the average in size. All t.h<
prisoners under punishment for ar
son and for counterfeiting measured
by him came under the head of
“small.” if is observations were
made in France.
TACT.
“You insisted on our mining to
this hot, lion id place,” slirillet Mi>
Outsome, “and I’m sunburned til)
1 look like an Apache Indian!”
“Not at nil, my love,” said Mr.
Outsome. “Your complexion is a
clear, beautiful light brown,”
Thus did a soft tan, sir, as it were,
turn awnv wrath.
RASHNESS.
, The candidate for office had open
S ly advocated horn-sty.
I Naturally the other managers ot

“I always said that fellow was no
politician,” commented one, and the

ALL LEAD THE SIMPLE LIFE
Example Set by People of Finland
Might Be Followed with Profit
by Others.
In Finland everybody lives tiie
simple life in summer time. They
camp out on islands, in the forests,
and always somewhere near the wa
ter, for everybody swims and bullies.
Almost all classes sleep and eat al
fresco at this time of year, and ihe
town councils in the towns of this
progressive and altogether delight
ful little country provide public fire
places and public bathing sheds in
all places where the working classes
go in search of fresh air.
But the simple life is hy no means
dull with the frisky Finns, They
combine it with a surprising amount
of gayefy. They eat, drink and are
very merry in their picturesque lit
tle log cabins outside the cities.
When they are tired of bathing
and splashing they dame, they sing,
they watch lireworks and practice
gymnastics, they all become lilco
children and are the very happiest,
merriest, most, good nut mod, most
easily pleased and most healthy holi
day makers in the world. We might
take many leaves from the Finns'
book. Ladies’ Pictorial.
COULDN’T READ IT.
While visiting in a small (own ill
foilin’" I it ul, seven miles tt*oiu (ho
railronil elation, I received ooea*
eionallv ii postal card from my
Jinnee, written in a kind of short
hand of our own. One day when a
cousin was going to the post office I
asked her to inquire if there was
anything for me; she returned, say
ing there was nothing. The next
'day she mado the same inquiry,
when the postmaster showed her a
postal card addressed to me nud
said: “Em, can you read this?”
She said “No.” Thereupon he sukl:
“Neither < an I, and l have been try
ing ever since yesterday.” 'Eliis il
Itisirates the fact (lint curiosity is
not confined to the fair sex.
NOW’S THE TIME.
The average novelist, it is well
known, thinks little of the average
playwright, and the playwright
thinks h-ss, if possible, of the novel
ist.
At the I Mayers* club in New York
they say that Clyde Kitch at a din- -
ner sat opposite a popular novelist.
The novelist criticised the American
plav; he seemed to think very little
of it. Finally, yawning, he said :
“When I am ployed out as a
novelist I intend to write for the
stage.”
“Begin at once, then,"’ said Mr.
Filch.
AT BYRON’S STATUE.
Then i- a statue of Byron in Lon
don, in Hamilton Hardens, sepa
rated only by a railing from the
broad drive in Hyde park, and fac
ing direelIv across the monstrous ef
figy of \i liilh s. Kveil on April It)
Bvron’s statin’ receives no attention
save for the single wreath of (lloiro
do Dijon roses placed at its foot un
der the bequest of the lady who left
,i legaev for thi- purpose, and for
the insertion of a memorial notice iu
the Times until the day that the
dean of Westmin-li r allows Bvron’s
name to be inscribed in the Poet’s
Corner of the \bbey.

REASSURING.
“Captain,” inquired the timid
passengt r, “are there any snags in
this river?”
“Hundreds of '’em, ma’am,” said
the captain of the little steamer,
“but I’ve run this boat on so many
of ’em that 1 know exactly where
they are. We’ll be going right over
one in a minute.”
