THIBODAUX,
HERBS AND THE1B USES.
A Materia Medina for the People.
Ikon Weed.—T his is a common and
well-known weed, growing plentifully
throughout the Western States, in low,
rioh woodlands and prairies, generally
around the edges of ponds and wet
lands. It has a straight stalk, from
three to six or eight feet high, of a dark
purple color, coarse leaves, and beauti
ful bright purple flowers on top, re
maining late in the fall. The root is a
bitter tonic, alterative. It is particu
larly useful in female diseases. It is
also said to be a certain remedy for the
chills and bilious fevers. As an altera
tive it is considered highly valuable in
scrofula, diseases of the skin, etc. Dose
of the decoction, one-half wineglass or
more; of the tincture, two or three tea
tpoons several times a day.
Jerusalem Oak.—T his' plant grows
from one to three feet high, sjid is
fonnd wild in Dearly all parts of the
United States, in waste pla os, about
old buildings, and along roadsides. It
is also known as wormseed, and is
sometimes cultivated iu gardens. It
flowers during July and August, and
bears an immense number of little
greenish-brown seeds, the part used as
medicine, which should be gathered
when ripe, during the fall. This is a
valuable, very certain, and always safe
anthelmintic or worm medicine. It is
alto anti-spasmodic. Valuable in all
cases of worms. The seeds are to be
pulverized and mixed with honey or
molasses, until the mixture becomes a
•hick electuary; then given to children
in teaspoonful doses, night and mom*
ing( for a few days, to be followed by a
dose of castor-oil or other cathartic.
The oil, however, is mostly used now,
being equally os good, and much more
convenient; the dose of which is from
•hree or four to ten drops, in a little
sugar or in syrup, mucilage, or milk, to
be given night and morning for three
or four days, and then, ns in the other
ease, to lie followed by a brisk purga
tive.
Lady's Supper.- -Known also by
the names of American valerian, nerv
ine, etc. There are two or three varie
ties, however, one having yellow flow
ers and the other white and pink or red,
are mostly used. The lady's slipper
grows iu most of the States, in gjch,
sandy soil, generally <fn the sides of
bills and hi tiffs, along streams, and inf
rich, shady woods. It rises to the
height of cne or two feet, leaves three
or fgur inches long and two or three
wide, are alternate, and attached bv a
•ort of sheath around the stalk, 'fhe
flowers are large, shiny, and somewhat
in the shape of a moccasin, oitber of a
pale yellow or white, with red or pur
ple spotR. The roots are bunchy,
fibrous, crooked, and about as thick as
• wheat stem. The root is the part
OMd. Jt is nervine and somewhat
tome and diaphoretic. It is useful in
fcll oases of nervous irritability, head
aohe, hysteria, restlessness, and where
«ver a safe nervine is needed. It is
often combined with the skull-cap iu
severe nervous affections, the compound
being more powerfully nervine and
onti-spusruodic. Lady's-slipper root is
twy generally used in the form of in
fusion, but is generally used in extract
and tincture. Dose: Of the alcoholic
extract, from live to ten grains: of the
•iaoture from two to four teaapooufuls;
of the powder, about oue teaspoon in a
little herb tea or warm water. -The in
fusion is made by steepiug about one
auuce of the powdered voot in one pint
at boiling water. Pose, from a half to
A teacup, every hour or two, oftener
•edording to symptoms. It is an excel
substitute for the foreign or Euro
B n valerian, and iu most respects
y equal to it. It can always be
found at the drug stores.
Liverwort. —Sometimes called liver
^r sud trefoil. This is a small plant,
having a sort of three-lobed leaf on
«eeh stem, the stems rising only six or
«ight inches high, and is common iu
most of the States, growing in woods,
•nd usually upon the aide t of hills and
bluffs —generally the south side. It
blossoms very early in the spring,
flitter in March or April, the flowers
beiDg of n purplish-white color. The
whole plant is used. It is tonic and
■lightly astringent, and is used in the
form of infusion or syrup in affections
of the lungs, liver comp aint, bleeding
•t the lungs, etc. It may be taken
^eely in iufusiou.
Lr* owort. —This plant is more com
monly known by the name of cowslip.
It is common to the United States, and,
being rather a handsome plant, on ac
eount of its beautiful blue flowers, is
often cultivated in gardens. It grows
from fifteen to twenty inches high.
The leaves are the part used, and are
BTOoilaginuus, demulcent, and slightly
astringeut. Used in the form of infu
•km in lung affections, particularly
bleeding at the luugs ; and also as a
demulcent in dysentery. !

The Heyday of Lift.
There will always be a alight differ
ence in the opinions of the yonng and
the mature relative to the general plan
on which the solar system should be
operated, no doubt. There are also
points of disagreement in other mat
; ters, and it looks as though there al
ways would be.
To the young the future has a more
roseate hue. The roseate hue comes
high, but we have to use it in this
place. To the young there spreads out
across the horizon a glorious range of
possibilities. After the youth has in
dorsed for au intimate friend a few
times, and purchased the paper at the
bank himself later on, the horizon
won't seem to horizon so tumultuously
as it did aforetime. I remember el one
time of purchasing such a piece Of ac
commodation at a bank, and I still have
it. I didn't need it any more than a
eat needs eleven tails at one and the
same time. Still the bank made it an
object for me, and I secured it. Suoh
things as these harshly knock the
fluff and bloom off the cheek of youth,
and prompt us to turn the strawberry
box bottom side up before we pur
chase it.
Youth is gay and hopeful, age is cov
ered with experience and scars where
the skin has been knocked off und had
to grow on again. To the yonng a dol
lar looks large and strong, but to the
middle-aged and the old it is weak
inefficient.
"When wo are in the heyday and fizz
of existence, we believe everything,
but after awhile we murmur, " What's
that you're givin' us ?" or words of like
character. Ago brings caution and a
lot of shop-worn experience, purchased
at the highest market price. Time
brings vain regrets and wisdom teeth
that can be left in a glass of water over
night.
Htill we should not repine. If people
would repine less and try harder to get
tip an appetite by persweating in some
■oiie's vineyard at so much per diem, it
would be better. The American people
of late years s€»in to have a deeper and
deadlier repugnance for mannish in
dustry, and there seems to be a grow
ing opinion that our crops are more
abundant when saturated with foreign
' perspiration. European sweat, if I may
be allowed to use such a low term, is
very good in its place, but the native
born Duke of Dakota or the Earl of
York State should remember that the
matter of perspiration and posterity
should not be left soiely to the for
eigner.
There are too many Americans who
toil not, neither do they spin. They
would be willing to have an office foist
ed upon them, but they would rather
blow their so-called brains out than to
steer a pair of large steel-gray mules
from day to day. They are too proud
to hoe com, for fear some great man
will ride by and see the termination of
their shirts extending out through the
seats of their pantaloons; but they are
not too proud to assign their shattered
finances to a friend and their shattered
remains to the morgue.
Pride is all right, if it is the right
kind; but the pride that prompts a man
to kill his mother because she at last
refuses to black his boots any more is
an erroneous pride. The pride that in
duces a man to muss up the carpet with
his brains, because there is nothing left
for him to do but to labor, is the kind
tliat Lucifer had when he bolted the ac
tion of the convention and went over to
the red-hot minority.
Youth is the spring-time of life. It
is the time to acquire information, so
that we may show it off in after years
and paralyze people with ifhat we
know. The wise youth will "lay low" j
till he gets a whole lot of knowledge, I
and then is later days turn it loose in
an abrupt manner. He will guard
against telling what he knows, a little
at a time. That is unwise. I once
knew a youth who wore himself out
telHhg people all he knew from day to
day, so that when he became a bald
headed man ho was utterly exhausted
and didn't have anything left to tell any
one. Home of the things that we know
should be saved for our own use. The
man who sheds all his knowledge, and
don't leave enough to keep house with,
fools himself .—Bill Nye. in the In<jle
aide.
Gastronomy Among the Tartars.
On one occasion a Tartar "Bek" who I
had given me some food paid me the
additional compliment of taking an
enormous and fearfully dirty wooden
spoon from his pouch, deliberately lick- I
ing it clean, and then presenting it to
me. A few days later I entered a
Kirghiz coup on a day of unusual
plenty, one of the camels having just j
died of old igo and been promptly cut
up for dinner. The hospitable barbari
ans set liefore me a 1 literal allowance of j
this delectable food, which was as blue
as a sailor's jacket and as tender as the
Atlantic cable. But a two days' fast is
an excellent cure for daintiness, and I
dispatched the wiry delicacy as briskly
as the glutton in the American tale,
"who ate as if there were no hereafter."
