ELDER FLOWER OINTMENT AND OIL
10 the London Pharmacopeia The flowers
are directed 10 be boiled with the lard, in
making unguentum sambuci. By this pro-
cess the odor Of the flowers is entirely de-
stroyed, and the ointmen, acquires an en-
pyreuma,ic smell from the action Of heal
on The flowers. To obviate this result, and
TO make on oin,men. possessing the pleas
an! oder Of elder flowers, beg to suggest
the following process, which have found
effecual.
Mel, the lard at the loves, possible tenn
pera,ure al which il assumes the fluid form
and introduce into it as many flowers as the
melted lard will cover. Macera,e them al
the above temperature for twelve hours, and
then strain off the lard ,hroug h piece o
linen. without the least pressure. BY this
means an oinlmen. will be made. when the
lard is cold, which represents that which

The oil Of elder flowers requires no hea

Iy as the ointment, with the exception o

"THIPT ON 1T, CAPTAIN"

| A good story has been told Of lisping
officer in the u. S. Army, having been vic.
timized by brother officer, (who was no.
ted for his cool delibera,ion and strong
nerves. and his getting square with him in
the following manner. The cool joker, a
captain, was always quizzng the Iisring Of
ficer, lieutenant, for his nervousness.
"Why," said he one day in the presence
OF his company, nervousness is all non
sense! tell you Lieutenant, no brave man
will be nervous"
SWELL" inquired the !;sping friend, chow
would you do, .hpose ,hell with an inch
futhee .hould drop it,helf in a walled angle
in which you had taken .hel.er from COM
pany Of 'hsrpthoo.ers, and where i. ws,h
'her'ain 'ha. if ou put Out your nolhe y ou'd
git peppered."
"How," said the captain, winking at the
circle, "why, take i. cool, and spit on the
fussee."
The party broke up and ell retired for
the night except The patrol. The mex. morn
ing number of soldiers were assembled
and talking in clusters, when along came
the lisping lieutenant and lszily opening his
eyes, he remarked
~ want 10 Try an ex!hpeIment thi!h
morning, and thee how ex'heedingly cool
you can be-"
Saying which, he walked deliberately up
to the fire burning on the hearth, and placed
in its hottest centre powder canister and
ins.snlly re,reated. There was but one
mode Of egress from the quarters end that
was upon the parade ground. the road being
bull. up for defence; the occupant took one
glance at the canister, comprehended his
situation, and in moment dashed at the
door bu. it was fastened on the outside.
"Charley, lie. me out if you love men'
shouted the captain.
"Thipt on the csni,her !" shouted he in
return.
Not moment was to be lost; he had o.
frs. snalched up blanket 10 covef his e.
gress but now dropping it, he raised the
window, end out he bounded, sans culo,es,
sans everything bu. very short undergar-
ment ; and thus, with hair almos. upon end
he dashed upon full parade ground. The
shout which hailed him brought! out the
whole barracks to see what was the matter
and the digni6ed captain pulled tell Sar-
geant in from. Of him to hice himself.
"Why didn't you .hpit on :" inquired
the lieutenant.
"Beesuse there was no shsrpshooters in
front 10 stop te.reat," answered the cap

lieutenant, "ibat you nigh. .hafely done it.

The captain has never spoken against
nervousness since.

MOTHERS MADE THANKFuL.-The local
editor Of the Buffalo Republic has made
himself one Of the immortals by The publ.
cation of discovery which he has recently
made, Of grea, importance 10 mothers. il
is an infallible means fkeeping babies, from
2 to 10 months old, perfectly quiet for hours
The modus operandi is as follows: Gas
soon as The squaller awskes, set the child
up, proped by pillows, if i, cannot si, alone,
and smear its fingers with thick molasses.
Then put halt dozen feathers into its
hands; and the young one will sit and pick
the feathers from one hand TO the other, un-
iii j, drops asleep. As soon as it wskee.
more molasses and more feathers, and in
place Of nerve.astounding yella, there will
be silence and enjoyment unspeakable.

seen almos. any clear day, by looking in

somewhat larger, being in fact eight hundred

to fourteen hundred thousand globes of the

Of FIRE, with many spots upon its surface
which, unlike those Of the leopard, are con-
tinualIy changing. These spots were frs,
discovered BY q gentleman named Calico
