an hour every morning; then take
rough but soft towel and press deeply
while rubbing the surface, 50 as to squeeze
out the hardened contents of the follices,
which cause the pimples. BY persever-
anee in this plan, although those pimples
already existing will be made worse from
the irritation Of the rubbing, yet fresh
ones win cease to appear, and in time the
eruption win be nearly or quite cured.

NEW REMEDY FOR CONSUMPTION.
DE- Desmartes, of Bordeaux, had pub
lished in the AbeiIle Medicale the result
of four years experience, in reference to
the curative effects of the sap of the
pine tree in consumption. One instance
quoted is of a young lady, whose father,
mother, sister, and other relations, had all
died of the disorder. She was afflicted
with violent retching and splitting of blood,
and all the symptoms of an advanced
pulmonary consumption were ascertained
by auscultation. The splitting of blood
was stopped by administering one drachm
of powdered rue per day. (Dr. Des-
martes considers rue, rUta graUeolens, to
be one of the best hamostatics known.l
After which the patient took bottle of
pine sap per day for the space of two
months and half; at the end of which
time every alarming symptom had disap-
peared. The patient suffered no relapse.
He quotes many other instances.
Pine sap usually purges in the begin
ming, but this effect, which is purely elm
mating, soon ceases.
RED ANTs.-A Long Island CORES
dent writes, That his wife DESTROYS
these troublesome pests by occasionally
pouring boiling water over their haunts.
1t takes them a long time to recover
from thorough sealding, and few ap-
plications have cleared the premises"
The best remedy we have found is TO
sprinkle sugar over dry sponge, which
the ants gather into, when they may be
killed in hot water, and the sponge set"
again.-Ameriean Agriculturist.

To PRESERVE OUNCES TENDER.-
Every housekeeper knows the difficulty
of preserving ounces so that they will
become hard. The following directions,
from home experience, obviate the diff

cut into quarters, eighths, or rings as you
may fancy. Then boil in water until
soft, and take out the pieces, placing them
on plates to cool. Boil the pairings and
seeds in water, and TO the jelly-like liq-
uid obtained, add one pound of sugar for
each pound Of fruit. Boil and skim TO
clarity, add the cooked fruit, and boil gen.
tly for half an hour. Take out the fruit,
and boil down the liquid until it assumes

quality will repay any extra trouble
