LONGI'ELLOW'S ADVICE.
Kindness Was the Keynote of the
Poet's Character.
Mme. de Navarro gives some charm—
ing pictures of Longfellow in "A Few
Memories." She says that every con-
versation with him led to some good
result. His first advice to her was'
"See some good picture—in nature If
possible. or on canvas—hear a page of
the best music or read a great poem
dolly. You will always find a free half
hour for one or the other. and at the
end of the year your mind will shine
witl- such an accumulation of Jewels
as to astonish even yourself." .
The poet was fond of a good. amus-
Ing story and had many to tell out of
his own experience. He was particu-
larly delighted at the ingenuity of an
enterprising vender of patent medicine
who. vauutlng the "marvelous effects"
of his drug. no doubt in the hope of In-
spiring the get. invited him to write
a verse for label. promising him a
percentage on each bottle and a free
use of the. medicine for himself and
family.
On one of his birthdays he was as-
tonished at seeing a wagon containing
a piano drive up to his house. follow-
ed by a strange young lady In a car.
riage. The young lady informed the
housekeeper that she wished the piano
to be put In a room where it would
“sound well," as she had composed a
piece of music in honor of the poet's
birthday and meant to play it to him
on her own Instrument.
Longfellow was a great lover of musn
lo. and Wagner appealed to him
strongly. We heard several operas to-
gether in Boston after my engagement
there. He generally arrived before us.

Kindnea's was the keynote of his

THE SASSAFRAS PLANT.
I-‘rom it Muy Be Brewed n Pleasant
Ten and a Good Mucilage.
A correspondent of the Charlcaton
News and Courier says of the sassafrna
plant: "The whole plant is valuable
for its medicinal properties. The root
makes an excellent ten. spicy and in.
grant. and has alterative virtues quite
as good as the grasparilla. The stalks
have an Inner pith that. although ted~
ions to extract much of It. when scrap-
ed out and put into cold water and ngi-
fated for a few moments with a spoon,
forms a most thick and tenacious muc-
Iiage. retaining a. delicate flavor of the
smell of the sauairas and is a bland
and soothing drink In fevers. when the
mouth is dry and great thirst exists. it
Is frequently retained gratefully when
plain water is ejected.
It is astonishing how mucilaglnous a
small quantity of this pith makes a
tumbler of water. which becomes thick
as gum arable water. A mere tea.
spoonful of the pith taken out of the
small green branches of the bush will
make three or four tumblerfula of.
thick muciiage.
For inilamed eyes this mucilaginous
‘water is ve soothing and curative
and has long used for all forms of
inflammation of delicate tissues. but is
no simple that it is ignored by the pro-
feasion
The oil of aassafraa. which is made
from the root as well as other parts of
the plant. makes a splendid linimcnt
for pains and aches in combination
with turpentine in proportion of one-
tblrd of the former to two-thirds of the
latter. Other stimulating tinctures.
such as spirits of ammonia .arc some-
times added. but the chief ingredient
of -tbe lightning llnimenta bawhed
about by lineth attacks are compos-
ed principally of assures oil. which
is really pungent and effective.
