Cancer Salve.

Mr.G. W. G. Gamble, of Millers-
burg, Iowa, has lately obtained a
patent for a salve which he says
will cure cancer, made as follows
Take ashes of red oak bark, the
bark being either in green or
dry state, in quantity twenty
pounds; the ashes Of the root
known as "bitter sweet" with its
bark either green or dry, five
pounds; also of green poke root
mashed fine, five pounds. In pre-
pairing tie compound take wood
en- vessel of suitable size, with
perforations at the bottom, being
such as is used to run off common
ash lye. Into this vessel put a.
bout five pounds of the ashes of
red oak bark and of bitter sweet,
when mixed in the proportions
above mentioned; then add five
pounds of the mashed poke root,
with the remaining portion Of the
ashes of red oak and bitter sweet.
To this mixture add sufficient wa
ter to moisten it without dripping.
Let the mixture stand twenty-four
hours. Then run it off by adding
water until the strength of the
ashes is exhausted. The extract
will now be put in metal vessel
and boiled to the consistency of
salve. Putin bottles with ground
glass shoppers, and it is ready for
use.

A Mathematical Puzzle

The following is decidedly the
neatest little mathematical puzzle
that has come to our notice:
ga man has 60 apples; he sells
80 for Is cents, which is half
cent apiece, OR 2 apples for l cent;
he sells the remaining 80 for 10
cents, which is a third of a cent
apiece, or three apples for one cent.
Thus we see that for five apples
he gets 2 cents; now how many
cents does he get for 60 apples?-
The problem seems plain enough
and the rule of three gives The i'm
mediate answer of "a. But on
the other hand, if he gets Is cents
for 80 of his apples, and 10 for
the remaining 80, it seems pretty
evident that he gets 25 cents for
the co."
1t is said to be a poor rule that
won't work both ways, and this
seems utterly to refuse to do so.-
Nevertheless, the solution of the
problem is easy. Who will rec
oncile the seemingly conflicting
ends?

The Armies of the World.

| At the present day the standing
armies of the world are larger
than they have been since the
great wars of the first Napoleon.
The armies of the United States
now numbers $4,000 men in all.
For the extent of our territory this
is the smallest army in the world:
and we have reason to congratu-
late ourselves upon the fact
The cost of our army is 800, ,OOO.-
600, or nearly 100000 per l.
600 men. The army of France
has been fixed at $50, 1000 men in
the 'factive army" and $50, 900 in
the "passive," the latter being
named the National Guard Mobile
Total !, 100000 men available for
war. A contingent of 100000
men is annually available to re-
cruit the army.
The British army numbers A.
bout 100000 men. The bulk of
this army is at home, Ireland ab..
sorbing $4,000 good troops. Of
the colonies or foreign possessions.
India takes the largest body of
troops, the Dominion of Canada
next, Australia next.
The Prussian army numbers a.
bout 100000 men.
The italian army now numbers.
$4,000 men, and is a veryeffective
one. In one of its arms, the Ber.
saglieri, or rife battalions, it ex-.
GELS even the French Army, whose
louaves . were supposed to be the
hrst light infantry in the world.
The Austrian army numbers a.
bout 100000 men: its cavalry is
said to be very fine. The govern
ment breeds its own horses, and
thus secures good mounts.
The Russian army numbers g.
bout 100000 men it could be-
quickly increased to ], 100000 in
time of war. 1t is spread all over
the Empire, from the Baltic to the.
Caucasus.
The Spanish army is small, not
exceeding $4,000 men; but it is
very well clothed and disciplined,
1t also receiving breech-loaders.
The number of men maintained
in the standing armies of civilized
nations is not less than 100000,
All these numbers are snatched a..
way from useful industries, and
condemned toidleness and a vicious
Life, while the laboring people are

sound. The tinkers used to tramp
about England mending pots and
kettles. They masticated and
moistened a morsel of bread, and
used it as a dam around the hole
to be repaired to prevent the sol.

At the outbreak of the late war
many postmasters in the South ~
ern States had In their offices
stamps or funds of considerable
value, which were seized by the
Confederate government, and OF
which no further account has
since been rendered to the Depart

tions at law to recover its claims.
In Virginia, during the past month,
suits have been instituted against
nearly one hundred of the delin-
ouents. Among these we notice
the name of Colonel Thomas T.

A Big MAN ON A "BENDER." -
"Southern Society" relates that
Daniel Webster, after a choice and
exhilarating dinner with the Rus
sian Minister, went in the evening
to hear Jenny Lind. The second
part of the concert was opened by
Mile Lind, with "Hail Columbia. !"
At the close of the first verse
Webster joined in the chorus with
his sonorous voice. The applause
that followed was tremendous
Mrs. Webster who sat immediate
ly behind him, kept tugging at
his coat-tail to make him sit down
or stop singing, but it was of no
use; at the close of each verse
Webster joined in, and it was
hard to say whether Jenny Lind,
Webster orQhe audience, were the
most delighted. At the close of
the air, Mr.. Webster arose with
his hat in his hand, and made her
such bow as Chesterfield would
have deemed a fortune for his son.
Jenny Lind courtesied to the floor;
the audience applauded to the
echo; Webster bowed again; Lind
recourtesied; the house reapplaud-
ed, and this was repeated eight or
nine times.
