CURING JAUNDIcE-M Bernhard French
chemist has, it is said, demonstrated by sew
eral experiments, that the white Of eggs can
only be assimiatel or converted into food
for the human body through the intervention
Of the liver. Guided by this fact DR.. Geisler
Of Gottingen has suggested its employment
in the treatment Of Jaundce. If the diges-
ton of the albumen ofeggs tend to rouse the
action of the liver, it will necessarily restore
the secretion Of bile and cure jaundice.

Recoverv of Stolen Gold Dust.

Our readers may recollect an account OF the
robbery of the Express Of a large amount of gold
dust. in the mountains above Shasta some three
weeks since.
A man by the name Of Garter was arrested on
suspicion. and afterwards made u confession, in
which he acknowledged his participation in the
robbery. and des gnated the spot where the money
was hidden.
Tn order to test the truth of this confession and
If nossible recover some Of the dust party took
Carter with them upon the search.
The Shasta Courier gives the following account
of the transactions;
"Accordingly, on Sunday last, Carter was
mounted on q mule. and in company with some
twenty of our citizens, was escorted to the place
where the robbery was committed, and from thence
to the place where the treasure was hid. After
arriving at this place, Carter confessed himself
somewhat bewildered. and asked for time, that he
might rccollect the exact locality The party in
charge granted his request Soon after, he point
ed out two logs laying across each other and told
them they would find the money buried at the
crotch of those logs. Upon examination, they
found three bags of the dust, containing between
five and six thousand dollars. The party then
held consultation, and concluded 20 leave four
of their number to prospect about that locality
and see if they could not find more of the buried
treasure.
On Thursday last the four gentlemen above al
luded to returned here, bringing with them be-
tween ten and eleven thousand dollars more of the
stolen money. Making in all about sixteen thou
sand dollars.

Pitts Threshing Machine.

DITT'S Machine for Threshing and Cleaning
il Grain stands without a rival in the world. 1t
is the first successful portable machine of its kind
ever put i'm operation in this or any other country.
It was offered for the public use before the har-
vest of 1897 and from that time down to the pres
ent moment there has been no improvement made
in the principle of the machine by any inventor
in the same line.
At the great trial of Threshing Machines in the
Kingdom of France, in competition with the best
Machines of all foreign countries the Pitts lnven-
ton won the highest prize given TO any exhibitors
for competition.
At the great trial in France, in 1855 the net re-
suits of half hours earnest work by the rival
threshers and six men with fails Ga force estmat-
ed about equal to one of the machines) is as fol-
lows:
Six men with fails, 90 ltres OF wheat
Pitts American Thresher, 7l0
Claton's English Thresher, 40
Duncirs French Thresher $50
Pinet's Belgian Thresher $50
Thus it is seen that the American Machine
threshed and cleaned 740 litres of wheat in 30 mn-
utes, and the English, French and Belgian Ma
chimes combined, but $40; showing that the diff
ference between the American, and three others
combined, was only 10 litres of wheat in favor of
the latter.
The machine is manufactured and sold by III. A.
