A popular highland remedy for both consumption and general debility was what is known as sudh nan cafhir (the Juice of deers' horns), These were gathered In the hills when the uulmals cast thein In the springtime. They were bulled for some hours and the Juice thus obtained bottled after being •trained. Oundy sugar and whisky are usually added to It nowadays.

In New Caledonia there is said to be an herb which has the rare property of revealing one's secrets. It is known as the Datura stramonium and has white flowers and rough berries full of dark grains. They are treated of in the Annals of Hygiene and Colonial Med­ icine." A person who has swallowed the tea made of this herb will after falling asleep tell where Ills money is hidden and will also arise and go di­ rect to where his treasure is concealed.

The Decoration day exercises at Ring- wood were atteuded by a large number of i>eople and those whom we have in­ terviewed express themselves in a de­ cided manner with regard to the hos­ pitality of that little village. On ac­ count of a pressure of business the edit­ or could not attend, but suffice it to say we have heard enough to convince us that Ringwood wa« wide awake. Com­ mander H. C. Mead of the G. A. R. can not say enough in praise of the ladies who served the dinner and those who took part in the program, everything being so nicely arranged for the com­ fort and entertainment of the Grand EIGHTH GRADE GRADUATES. Exercises Held at Spring Grove Last Fri­ day Evening, May 27. The second eighth grade graduating exercises were held at Spring Grove last Friday evening, atteuded by a large, enthusiastic audience. The Spring Grove school, as well as the other schools of the township, rank high in the schools of the connty, the directors hav­ ing been fortunate in securing the ser­ vices of excellent instructors. The Spring Grove school,. Allison Trnax and Miss Lillian Sanborn, teachers, the Creek school, E. uS. French, teacher, and the English Prairie school, Frank Orvis, teacher, were all represented in the program. The wprk of the pupils on that evening was sufficient proof of the efficiency of the instructors. The editor of this paper was in Spring Grove on Saturday and heard nothing but praise for the exercises. The greatest interest naturally cen- L O C A L B R I E F S f HON. JOSEPH W. CRISTY. Prof. Fisher was asked for and expressed himself as Army boys. his opinion follows: "Memorial day at Ringwood is a day long to be remembered by the W. C. T. U., G. A. R. and others present. How truly has it been said that 'The W. C. T. U. has always been noted for its spirit of earnest aggressiveness against evil. Women of this type never know as some men seem to know) why a bad thing should etay or why a better thing should fail to come. These consecrated and courageous Christian workers be­ lieve with all their hearts two things-- that duty is the thing to be done, and and they are the ones to do it. Their faith in ultimate virtue is sublime. The heroism of love prompts them to fight for the deliverance of their native laud, to make it a safe and desirable habitation for future generations.' The program so carefully and systematical­ ly prepared certainly fully demonstrat­ ed that they are for God and Home and i Native Land, and are contributing their I noblest powers for the fuller develop­ ment of the principles of the organiza­ tion. The patriotisui^here displayed sent a thrill thru the hearts of our boys in blue, that would bring a tear from the strong hearted, brave and true patriot." Rev. Cormack was asked foi his opin­ ion of the oration by Prof. Fisher and he spoke as follows: "Prof. Fisher gave good satisfaction. He is a happy off-hand speaker and speaks readily. His sentences are often brilliaut. He has the spirit of the true orator and is intensely interested in his subject. He described the rise of the altruistic spirit in the race and its growth into liberty and the brotherhood of man, manifested so often in our pres­ ent civilization. He held up the work and ini-piration of the boys in blue to be of that mould. He was heartily cheered by the old soldiers and all who were present. The cold day could not lessen, but only increased the ardor of the speaker and his hearers. Those who missed it, unnecessarily, certainly made mistake. TU'e theme from the begin­ ning was full of thoughts wisely chosen to exalt the youthful soul and increase patriotism. The great consummation worthy our best endeavor and which be urged upon every noble mind, was the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, which, also, in a marvelous way has become the trend of this, our present age." Several toasts were offered at the din­ ner table. Mrs. W. EL Smith's subject being "The Day We Commemorate." Mrs. Dodge spoke on "Our Soldiers," . C. Mead responding. "The Relation of the W. C. T. U. to Patriotism" was the subject handled by Mrs.. H. P. Bnckland, Rev. Cormack responding. tered about the debate between Ray mond Moss of Spring Grove and Geo. Richardson of English Prairie;, the for­ mer taking the affirmative and the latter the negatiye. The subject was this "Resolved, that the printing press has been of more benefit to the world than steam." It was a broad subject, bnt the contestants handled it well, bring­ ing into evidence their training of the years past. Raymond Moss won the decision, and be earned it Not only did he show conclusively the importance of the printing press, but he won out over an opponent who was worthy of hiB steel. The winner was'awarded a prize in the shape of a beautiful ebony finished, silver mounted military brush set. Farm Klre at Huntley. All the buildings, including two hous­ es, barn and out buildings on the D. E. Wood farm north Qf Huntley were de­ stroyed by fire Sunday afternoon. The tenants on the farm were absent and the cause of the fire is unknown. It appeared that the blase started in the barn.

The warm rain that fell lastThursday was a great help to crops generally and put the soil iu good condition for corn planting. Pastures are now in excel­ lent condition, the price of butter being sufficient proof of this. I'I-OUIIHCUOIIH Expectoration Following up the move made in other cities, it would be a good thing to pass au ordinance in McHenry prohibiting promiscuous expectoration. The side­ walks on the main streets are some­ times found in a filthy condition in the mornings, being discolored with tobac­ co jnice. Thru this filth a woman must drag her skirts, and for days the spot is an evesor6 to everyone who passes. It is undoubtedly thoughtlessness on the part of the tobacco users, and it is hoped that this article may do some good. Killed a Rattlesnake.
