Fresh sweet almonds are nutritive and demulcent, but as the outer brown skin sometimes causes Irritation ot the bowels, it is removed when the nuts are served as dessert, the process being termed blanching. The essential oil of almonds, frequently used In flavorings, needs to be treated with care, as it possesses markedly poisonous qualities.

There are In preparation several beautiful panels whereon are paintings of allegorical figures, cuplrts and flowers for tho embellishment of Holmes' Star theater and the patrons on the reopening of the place of entertainment cannot fall to be pleased with them. On one sldo of the proscenium arch will be a figure of Terpsichore or rather a design which might more properly be called "Tht Dance." The fignre is full of action, of a most graceful typo, and as she moves she holds a am bo'irlno aloft with a free and airy movement. A pale, purple robe, brings out the delicate flesh tones and leuvos the upper part of the figure undraped. The face expresses a light, buoyant sentiment, which is carried out In the poise ami motion of the figure. To give a greater sense of Joyous abandon to the work a cherub is introduced, its sprightly limbs appearing; to move in sympathy with the beat of a melody.

This pretty panel will have a companion piece in a creation entitled "Springtime." The figure Is posed well and the drapery is exceedingly graceful, floating ends of it giving an idea of movement and airy poise. Behind tho figure Is winged child, whose limbs are rosy and well modeled and who Is represented as whispering into the ear of the goddess or spirit of spring. Her face is expressive and she holds a garland of roses between her outstretched arms. The cupid Is sraiSGTi ur. beautifully posed anil his snowy wings in their Involuntary motion give a touch of the ethereal to the composition.

Under the balcony there will be a large circular panel incle. cd In a framing of Rcn naissance relief. It will typify literature. A figure of dignity and gracious eats reposes in the middle portion of the iianrl and a scroll unrolled and pendant fr he hand is her symbol. The drapery' is gracefully adjusted around tho figure and a hackground of blue sky and clouds appears in the ensemble.

Below the figure roses are to be massed in a luxuriant way. with a branch of the blooms rlring behind Litc rature. The cupid accompanying is a well modeled little fellow, arch and winning. On the ether side of this design will be one of etipids and flowers wit: draperies lighter pink than distinguish those of the "Literature" panel, where they are rose color and hite. The cuplrts of the panel will bo robed in shell pink, and they are grouped in pretty abandon.

floating on a cloud like mass. Below them are roses in abundance. There is considerable about this design, tho piquant faces of the lit tle fellows and their sprite like bodies sporting amid the flowers, making a very dainty effect. Little loves in Iliac draperies are to be seen In the opposite side panui. A torch of gold enlivens the scheme, and rcses.

again. 1 are pretty features of the design. The pnrt 1 of the cuplds are light and graceful. A back ground of sky and fleecy clouds relieves them. The sum of JlO.OOo 1s being expended on the new decoratic ns and remodeling.

The gallery front is to be in ivory and gold. also the box fronts. The draperies are unusually artistic and rich. The other decorations are to be nn color schemes which i will harmonize with the and draperies. This play house has the reputation of the first continuous: perf rtnance one in the city.

It is now. or will 1h most artistically decorated. Arnold and Locke have the art embellishment in hand, and the latter designer, who Is a pupil of La Parse, has spent much time on the painting's, which are to make cf the Star theater something of an art gallery' NIGHT BLOOMI.VG TREKS. i A great difference has be made between the night blooming cot ens and the night blooming cactus, as it is often called. The night blooming cereus is c.

grandifl. while the night blooming racus is phyllocac tus latlfrons. The former rope like steins covered with lines of small spirts; the latter has flat, frond like The hitter is an Interesting flower, but not nearly as interest ing or rare as the former. We learn from a list published by Mrs. The Shepherd of California that the eoninioii name of the 4 leafy form, or phyllooacc.is.

is queen cactus, and if the botanical names are considered too difficult and a common name it would be much better to distinguish the two by adopting the California name. Meehan's Monthly. I 1 REMARKABLE PARLIAMENTARY CAREER OF C. P. VILXIERS.

For Sirty Years He Has Sat in the British Parliament as the Representative of the Same Constituency. Ninety three Tears Old. Amid the turmoil of the great recent English elections folks who grasped only the more significant points of the great contest, such, ror instance, as the swamping of John Morley and Sir William Vernon Harcourt under a flood tide of adverse Ballots have necessarily lost many interesting, if relatively less important features of the struggle between liberal and conservative, between home ruler and unionist. There is not an Intelligent elector in Great Britain, however, who has not by this time become aware that the stanch old liberal borough of Wolverhampton has again returned to his accustomed seat at Westminster the Rleht Honorable Charles Pel ham Villlers, the father of the house of commons. The parliamentary career of Mr.

Villlers is in many respects unique. Its most salient point Is the fact that for a space of sixty years he has represented the same constituency. Throughout this extraordinary period of consecutive service he has been unswervingly liberal in his political faith. He did not at the outset of his career, as did Mr. Gladstone BIGHT HON.

CHAIII.ES rELIIAM VILLIEES. and many other conspicuously gifted Britons, embrace with all the undisciplined enthusiasm of youth some political creed whose bonds proved too weak to resist the expansion of the future. He was no "rising hope of the stern and unbending torles," containing in his composftlon a germ which only needed proper conditions to hatch out the rankest whig Ideas extant. He entered parliament a whig and he has clung to the good old standard ever since. Sixty years in parliament and in the active branch of the English body legislative at that means a great deal.

When Mr. Villlers first tacked M. P. to his name William E. Gladstone had been a member of the house of commons but three years.

The events of George Channing's political career were still too fresh in tbe public mind to make possible a just estimate of his qualities as a statesman. Earl Grey had only the year before resigned the premiership to Lord Melbourne. The latter held the reins of government when the new member for Wolverhampton took his seat with Peel in the commons and the Duke of Wellington in the lords in active opposition. Maeaulay, too, was just beginning that splendid parliamentary career too often overshadowed by his reputation as an essayist and historian. Mr.

Villiers was an eye witness of that memorable conflict precipitated by the introduction of the reform bill, and in the earlier stages of his public service he saw carried to successful issue those measures which rendered tardy Justice to the Roman Catholic and the Jew. Charles Pelham Villlers was born on January 3, 1802, and is, therefore, within measurable distance of being a centenarian. He was a younger son of tho Earl of Clarendon, for whom the title worn by the father in law of the last of the Stuart sovereigns had been revived. Young Villiers was educated at St. John's college, Cambridge, and in 1827 was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn.

He was made an examiner in chancery and in 1S35 was elected to parliament from Wolverhampton as a supporter of Viscount Melbourne. His new political connections secured for him the appointment of poor law commissioner of inquiry and in this capacity he rendered much useful service. Possibly it was while thus employed that he felt impelled to take up the question of repealing tbe corn laws. His speeches on behalf of this humanitarian scheme were vigorous and well timed. Although John Bright and Cobden had not yet begun to quicken the public pulse in regard to the oppressive duties on cereals Elliott, the corn law rhymer, was stirring England with his fiery, if homely, vcraes.

Perhaps the tingling meter of the sturdy iron master had something to do with spurring Mr. Villiers onward in this particular direction. In 1847 the member for Wolverhampton was also returned tor South Iancashlre, but declined to sever his connection with the constituency that first sent him to the commons. When Lord Aberdeen was called upon by the queen to form a ministry In 1S53 Mr. Villiers again took oGce as president of the poor law board.

During the years between lSf9 and 18C0 he held a portfolio under Palrnerston, and while in this official relation introduced and passed the union ehargeability act, a timely measure of domestic reform which effectually obviated the costly litigation over the maintenance of paupers which had theretofore been carried on between most of the parishes in Great Britain. In 1S7D Mr. Villiers was the recipient of an honor which Brooklynltes have all along considered as having been peculiarly conferred upon their beloved first citizen. In that year the residents of Wolverhampton erected a marble statue of their representative and it was unvailed with great ceremony by the late Earl Granville. The latter years of Mr.

Villiers' parliamentary career have been placid and comparatively uneventful. His re elcctf by the courtesy of political antagonists has for a long time been unopposed and if he is so minded there is no particular reason why he should not die, as he has lived, the Xestcr of the house of commons.

DESCRIPTION OF THE GROWTH AND QUALITIES OF THE NUTS. Almonds are of two sorts, the sweet and the bitter. In other respects there seems no more difference in the varieties than between sweet and sour apples. Both grow upon a moderate sized tree, probably a native of Asia or northern Africa, and known from time immemorial, being frequently mentioned in sacred writings. The fruit is described as a drupe, having a downy outer coat, called the epicarp, covering a tough portion called the mesoearp, which includes the reticulated or hard stony shell or endocarp.

The Deed is the kcrenl which is contained within these coverings, and the shell almonds of commerce consist of tho eadocarps inclosing the seeds. Thero are His Nnir.e Is Johannes Ast and Lives in the Village of Rodbruch. Thousands Come to Him for Assist i i ance. i I August 1 Until a short time ago Koilbru' h. a village about an hour'a rid.

from tins city, was as little Uiiown to the rest of th. world as a lumber i mnp in t'ne wilds of Michigan. To day all Germany is lilled with Its name. In tin space of thre months nan become tho Iodides oi Germany, the Mecca of tin si. anil despondent, where they expect to be tired of all the Ills that human flesh is heir to.

The pilgrimage, however, is not to shriiio or other sacred place, to the feet of a Ip piterd. who can neither read nor write, but. who is said to have wrought sonic marvelous cures in eases whera noted physicians hud given up the patients. Tho name of this man is Johannes Ast. When several weeks ago he was arrested and tried in a criminal court on the charge of practicing medicine without a license, bis de fenso wa that his medicines were harmless and that he charged no fee.

tho money which he received being the voluntary gift of his patients. lie told the judge that for 1,134 years his ancestors, shepherds like himself, had been eminently suceessf 11 in curing man and beast, anil that his great grandfather had once cured the Duke of Brunswick of a fatal Illness, In consideration of which permission had been granted to him and the heirs of his body forever to practice the art of healing. Since it could not be shown that his medicines had effected any of his patients injuriously Ast was released on paying a small lino and Instead of the trial hurting his reputation, as hail been hoped, it only made him more famous. During the post fortnight tho railroad which passes Rodbruch. where formerly not even thr, trains made a stop, has been running extra trains to accommodata tho thousands who are eager to consult tha shepherd doctor In regard to their ailments.

They do not. by any means belong to the ignorant classes, but are mostly intelligent and educated penpie, who come from every part of Germany. Ast is a small man. with a clean shaven face, and is about 4.1 years old. In language, manners and general appearance he is th type of a German peasant.

But his forehead is unusually high for one of his class and bis deep set eyes have a shrewd, intelligent look in them. He claims that, by examining; two or three hairs from the back of the neck under the microscope he is able to diagnoso correctly the disease of the patient and to apply the proper medicines for Its cure. It Is alleged that once, when some hair ivai submitted to him for examination by a pseudo patient who wanted to pet him a task he pronounced them at once as coming from the neck of the man's mother in law, who, he said, was suffering from a disease of the bones. This diagnosis, it is said, was afterward confirmed by a physician. In another ease he told a man who submitted his own hair that ho was suffering from cancer of the stomach.

This. also, proved true. Furthermore, and thero are credible witnesses who vouch for the truth of this statement, he cured this man, who had been given up by his physician. Still another man, who wanted to trap Ast. showed him some hair which had been, cut from the neck of a corpse, but the shepherd said that nothing ailed tha person to whom the hair belonged, for ho was dead.

Ast works from i o'clock in tho morning until midnight, but even these long hours do not permit him to personally seo ail his patients. Ho lives In s. small frame house, and the room which he uses as an office will not hold five patients at the same time. Still, he manages to see from five to six hundred a day and to prescribe for them. Only those, holding cards of admission can get Into his presence.

These tickets aro distributed by one of his sons in the barn, through which tho crowd passes In an endless line. These, cards are bought, and sold, and sometimes when a patient is suffering much, or mav be near death, big sums of monev are paid" for the ticket, that win admit hin'i at en. into tho presence of the wonderful doctor. It certainly cannot be said of him that he gives the same medicine to every every person for In his office he has hundreds of bottles each one containing a different kind. These aro replaced ns soon as one is taken away.

Sometimes the crowd of patients Is so largo nnd unruly In its efforts to get ahead of their turns that Ast Is. compelled to ask for police, protection, and now four special policemen from the Hamburg force are on duty In Rodbruch. wliero no policeman had ever sen before Ast bog business His wife Is a great help to him. When then are more patients than he cart handle he shuts up his office and lets bis wife, nit off the hair. On these 'days the uatient form a line in from bouse are' pa under a window from which Mrs.

Asr leans armed with a pair of cissors and performs the operation, placing the hair of each parson in a separnte envelope, which is hand.d to her by the patient and on which his name is written. The following day he gets his medicine. Unquestionably Ast is accumulating an enormous amount of money for while he charges nothing for consultation medicine, the cards, without whi in. one can ha treated by him. are sold at $1 each.

E. PIBP, Secretary, Mij er. o. L. Alijust liai SOME PATRONS DESCRIBE ITS GREAT VALUE TO THEM.

Many communications of commendation of the Eagle and its bureau are being constantly received from hotel proprietors all over the country. Many of the lc lters contain fact3 cf which the Eagle has long had knowledge. Yet It is a source of satis fac tion that others appreciate the Eagle's merits, and are v. IIllng to say so. The following letters contain an example to non advertisers, 'which is so plain it need not be pointed out: To tho Editor of the Drooklyn Enplo: Allow rne to return my Finooro thanks for the kindly, courteous ami ppnorotif attention that I have received by the Baple nnl It Information bureau.

Though I only ailvertled sneli a short time, my hns been full all the summer and will eontlnue so till late In the rooROn. It Is no wrmiler that yuu receive thousands of letters appreciation, if ynu treat nil your jiatrons as generously as yrm have me. 1 am sure otherp win avail themselves of the assistance of the EflBle and Its bureau. Although you have received such small patronage from me this season. I hope I will do better by you next season.

Again my thanks for your courtesy and believe me to be, dear sir, yours very truly. A. N. Proprietor of the Duprees. Bayport.

August 7. I80r. Lato arrivals at the Duprees are Mr. and Mrs. John Osgood, Miss Julia Osgood, Mr.

and Mrs. George A. Osgood and family, all of Brooklyn. The writer of the following is repentant. He is the proprietor, of a charming cottage in the mountains, and although he advertised extensively in a New York paper he secured no results.

Ho writes: "Having received several communications from you concerning advertising in the Kagle. I will explain a little. I am a retired clergyman and hive built a house in with a view of taking city hoarders. This Is my first, season. Of course.

I knew nothing practically about the business nnd advertised In a New York paper. I have been told recently by several parties that I should have advertised In your newspaper. I have gone to a large expense, and It 1b now so late that I do not feel safe in doing so at regular rates. Thero are no pleasanter rooms In than ours but none of them as yet are let. Most parties who come hero engage rooms previous to their coming.

Very few, oi course. kw anything about my house, it being my first season. A man who has arvertised In your paper for many years told me Friday last had I run an advertisement with you from the beginning of the season my house would now le full. The writer adds that it the Eagle bureau will render him some aid he will in tho future not overlook this paper. The writer has learned a valuable lesson in judicious advertising, although it has been at a sacrifice to his business.

He has only learned what others are finding out even' day, that the Eaglo is the only medium which Invariably produces satisfactory results. Mr. Cornell, proprietor of the new Grand hotel in the Catskllls, writes that he Is a great admirer of the Eagle and believes In keeping his advertisement in the paper the entire season. Ho says: In my estimation the Bngle is the best advertising medium in this country. Miss Mary Bartlett Whlton of 43 West Forty seventh street, secured through the bureau very satisfactory quarters at the Putnam house, Bennington.

Vt. She writes: I want to express my thanks for the prompt and courteous response ot the information otUee of dune Inclosing of Vermont hotels, which were sent to me while at the Putnam house. Bennington. In answer to my request, and at the sume time to speak a cordial word for the Putnam house. The manager.

The rosy cheek of an apple Is on the sunny side the colorless apple grows In the leafy shade. Advantage may be taken of this to have a pleasant surprise for children. A piece of stiff paper placed around an apple In the full sun will shade it, and if the Mary or Bobbie Is cut In the paper so that the sun can color the apple through these stenciled spaces the little one can gather the apple for itself with the name printed on the fruit by Nature herself.
