The celebrated Doctor Ward was not
more remarkable for his humanity and
skill than wit and humor. An old woman,
to whom he had administered some medi-
cines proper for disease under which
she labored, applied to him with COM

kind Of effect from taking them.
"No effect at all ?" says the doctor.

SALT AS TooTH PowDER-If, while ex-
aiming under the microscope drop Of
water containing iatusOria, you introduce
n grain of salt, the effect will be instanta-
neous death to these creatures. The
knowledge Of this property of salt may be
turned to account in several ways. Among
the rest it suggests an excellent tooth
powder. IL it be true, as some assert,
that the matter which is formed on the
teeth is the receptacle of animalcnleS, and
that these arc the real agents in producing
cariOus teeth, dip moistened brush in
salt, and you have at once the cheapest
and most prescrvative of tooth powders

TIE PEA-NUT.-The peanut is cutlva-
ted in Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina,
etc. 1t is planted in ridges about three
feet apart, and the vine stands up in per-
pendicular height. The stems shoot out
in all directiuns from it for about fifteen
inches around. These runners have joints
about an inch and half apart, and at
each joint strong root strikes down into
the ground about two inches deep. AT
the end Of this root the pea pod is formed,
and comes to maturity. Some farmers
cover these lateral vines with earth, while
others leave them bare all the time. 1t Is
not agreed which is the better mode
When ripe, one bunch of vines will have
from one to two quarts Of peas. One
acre will produce from thirty.fivc to fifty
bushels Of peas.
