James Graham, is quack of the lsth century. developed a. treat- ment guaranteed to maintain life to the age of one hundred years, but died himself in the prime of life. You can't. cheat the law of Nature. One of Graham's assistants in his so-called Temple of Health was Emma Lcyn. afterward Lady Hamli- ton, whose name is associated with that of Lord Nelson.

Andrew Jackson Davis cobbler of Poughkeepsie, N.Y. advanced a. metaphysical doctrine of life, health and the cure of di- sease. Cobbler Davis wrote a, book on the subject which enjoyed quite if large sale in the forties of the nineteenth century. And strange but true. a professor in a college in New York City said it was the most flnishcd specimen of philoso- phical argument in the English language. The book Went out of circulation shortly after the Civil War. It is now merely a curiosity, as it should always have been for L5 teachings are a ml,x'l.llTe of mper- at:tutien and twaddle that few per- sons would swallow today.

In science and Health. 2nd edit- inn of Mary Eddys' book. appears the following startling statement: "Divide the name Adam into two syllables, and it reads A dam or obstiuction. Adam, the first mortal man. was thus "a dam" to spiritu- al life." "It takes a long time for man to age whiskey but whiskey ages a man in ii short time."...

When Charlottetowrfs Chief of Police, C. W. MacArthur, farmed at Clyde River, he was presented with a pet lamb that became a bosom friend of the family dog. In time MacArthur's pet became so troublesome that neighbor John Mc- Nevin suggested the pet be put with his flock of sheep. It was, but next morning the lamb was back home. Three times the pet was returned to the Mcblevin ranch and three times it came home, though how none could guess. Finally the mystery -was snlvcd: The dog sought out his little crmpanion. grabbed it by the back of the neck and then jumping over the woven-wire fence. triumphantly marched home. the lamb gleefully following.

recipe. A young housewife who says she noticed in one Morning Coffee the question, "Do you like sweet potatoes?" gives the fol- lowing method for making Orange Sweet potatoes as her answer. "You will need," she says, "6 med- ium size sweet potatoes, 1 c orange juice, 2 teaspoons grated orange rind. 1 tbsp cornstarch, 3 tbsp mell- ed butter, 1-2 c brown sugar firm- ly packed, l-3 C white sugar.
