IT is said that one of the simplest and
best cures for stammering is to beat time
with the thumb upon the foretinger be-
fore commencing to speak, and while
speaking. One is then almost obliged to
speak rhythmically and distinctly. Anoth-
er so-called certain cure consists merely in
the frequent and rapid pronunciation, with
due emphasis, of the following gibberish (:
Hobbs meets Shobbs and Nobbs; Hobbs
bobs to Snobbs and Nobbs :, Snobbs mods
to Hobbs and robs Nobbs' fobs; that, says
Hobbs, is the worse for Nobbs' fobs, and
Snobbs sobs.
WHEN TO Sow APpLE-SEEDs.--Suc
cess in raising appleseedlings depends
somewhat upon soil and climate. If the
soil is a heavy clay, and in q locality
where the winter is very severe and little
snow to cover the ground, we would pre-
fer mixing apple-seed with sand, and then
burying it in a box during cold weather
than to SOW in the fall Usually, howev-
er, ii is q safe plan to SOW in autumn, as
apple.seeds. will withstand considerable
cold and water without injury. In heavy,
tenacious soils the seed ought not to be
covered with more than one inch of soil,
and less than this depth is better if the
surface of the seed bed is covered with a
thin mulching of fine hay or straw

A CORRESPONDENT of the RHrdE Neao
Yorker gives the following as his plan of
curing sowed corn: | cut my corn with a
stout cradle, when it stands up, or with a
corn cutter when lodged; allow it TO lay
on the swath day or two, then rake up
and bind the same as oats and rye. l then
take an ordinary fence stake, drive it firmly
in the ground, set three bundles of corn
around it, and tic them then seven or ten

and bind them at the top, with one or two
bands; then cap the whole with two
bundles. When put up in this way, they
will stand till thoroughly cured, when
they can be stacked or put in the barn the
same as corn stalks.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Galveston
Medical Journal says: "While serving in
the Confederate army heard very in
telligent gentleman say that fire was the
best remedy for the bite of venomous
snake. never knew Of the application
of the remedy until few days ago A
young man, Is years of age, was bitten
by very large rattlesnake (6ve feet long)
on the arm, above the elbow. A coal of
fire was applied short time after he was
bitten. / saw him two hours after the ac-
cident, when he appeared very much
prostrated, and was vomiting every few
minutes, pulse very small and frequent
complaining constantly of the burn, which
was pretty severe. gave him frequently
of diluted alcohol His recovery was
rapid, and the swelling in the arm slight,
The question now is, did the fire do any
good? / think it did, not only by destroy
ing the virus, to a considerable extent,
but also by producing local incapacity
in the veins and absorbent vessels to per-
form their functions. l think, in all
probability, he would have died before
the alcohol was given, if the fire had not
been applied"
