To Cure a Cold.

DR.. Halls Journal of Health is
regarded by many as standard au-
thority upon anything that relates
to the welfare Of the body, and
most assuredly contains almost
an infinite number of valuable sug-
gestions, drawn, in many instan-
ces, from actual observation, and,
therefore, entirely practicable
He gives the following recipe for a
cold, from which, at this season,
nearly all persons suffer, and
which, from very small begin
ming, often makes very sad end
unless guarded against in time:
The moment a man is satisfied
that he has taken a cold let him
do three things. First, eat moth
ing; SECOND, go to bed, cover up,
in a warm room third, drink as
much cold water as he can, or as he
wants, or as much herb tea as he
can, and in three cases out of four
he will be well.in about thirty-six
hours. To neglect cold forty
eight hours after the cough COM
mences is to place yourself beyond
cure, until the cough has run it's
course of about a fortnight
Warmth and abstinence are safe,
certain cures, when applied early.
Warmth keep the pores of the skin
open and relieves it, while absti-
nence cuts off the supply of mate
rial for phlegm, which would 9TH
erwise be coughed up.

Horses-Founder.

A certain cure for founder some
think is to stand him IN water up
to his belly. I have known il
practiced for fifty years; and swath.
ing the legs in hot water, vinegar
and sugar of lead, are all good to
some extent; but a founder must
be relieved suddenly, or the horse
viii show stiffness in his action.
and have deformed, callous and
tender hOofs.
Water applied to the legs l do
not consider a positive cure; the
disease must be attacked at the
r0ot by bleeding and purging; a
few drops of blood taken from be.
low fetlocks will hasten his recov-
cry. But the most certain and
quick remedy that / have ever
known is green gourd cut it up,
put it into gallon of water, and
boil it down to a quart. Strain
the liquid and drench--in twenty.
four hours the horse will be per-
fectly himself. The gourd is a
powerful diuretic, and will cause
the horse to stale the most ofen-
sive odor.
In 1882, l traded for two fine
young mares in Augusta, Ga. /
rode one of them to Kentucky,
and my servant the other. Early
one morning, atcrossingthe Clineh
river, Tenn, we found one of the
mares SO badly foundered that she
could not be led out Of the stable.
| procured a green gourd and
drenched her as directed above,
and directed the servant to remain
until she was able to travel, expect-
ing that he would reach home in
three or tour days after me; the
next day after my arrival he came
in, with the mare in as good plight
as if nothing had happened.-Cor.

The Journey Of a Looking
Glass.

A few years before his death,
the Emperor Nicholas OF Russia
sent looking glass, of rare size and
beauty, with an embassy to the
Emperor of China. The looking
glass had to be carried all the way
from St. Petersburg to Pekin by
human hands. Despite the i'm.
mence distance which had to be
performed in this manner, the look.
ing glass reached China; but, in the
meantime, difficulties had broken
out between Russia and China, and
"The Son of Heaven" neither ad-
mitted the Embassy nor did he ac-
cept the present. A courier was
dispatched to St. Petersburg, and
asked the Emperor what was to be
done with the looking glass. The
Emperor replied that it should be
carried back by the same route and
In the same manner. When he
gave this order, the Grand Duke
Michael happened TO be present,
and offered to lay a wager with the
Emperor to the effect that the
looking glass would be broken
on the way back to st. Petersburg.
Tie Emperor accepted the wager,
and the bearers of the looking glass
received stringent orders to be as
careful as possible. If they should
break it on the road, they should
be severely punished /; but if they
should bring it back safely, they
should receive @handsome reward.
They carried it back with the most
incredible care, forty men bearing
it by turns, and safely reached ST.
Petersburg with it, where the En-
peror stood with his brother at the
window of his palace, and laughed
at having won the bet.
But on the staircase of the pal
ace one of the carriers slipped his
foot, fell down, dragging several
of his companions after him, and
the precious looking glass was bro
ken into a thousand pieces. The
Grand Duke, therefore, won his
bet.

A SMALLPOX Remedy.

A correspondent of the Stock.
ton, California, Herald writes as
follows:
81 herewith append a recipe,
which has been used to my knowI.
edge in hundreds of cases. 1t
will prevent or cure the small
pox, though the pittings are filling.
When Jenner discovered cow.pox
in England, the world of science
hurled an avalanche Of fame upon
his head; but when the most sci
entific school of medicine In the
world-that of Paris-published
this recipe as a panacea for small
pox, it passed unLeeded. 1t is as
unfailing as fate, and conquers in
every instance. 1t is harmless
when taken by well person. It
will also cure scarlet fever. Here
is the receiptas | have used it, and
cured my children of scarlet fever;
here it is as | used it to cure the
smallpox. When learned physi-
clans said the patient must die, it
cured: Sulphate of zinc, one
grain; foxglove (digitalis,) one
grain; half a teaspOonful of sugar;
mix with two tablespoonfuls of
water. When thoroughly mixed,
add four ounces of water. Take
a spoonful every hour. Either
disease will disappear in twelve
hours. For a child, smaller doses,
according to age. If counties
would compel their physicians to
use this there would be no need of
pesthouses. If you value advice
and experience, use this for that
terrible disease"

ADvERTIsING.-In an article
upon Advertising the Atlanta
Neto Era says:
A merchant in Macon, who had
been unsuccessful for years, conclu.
ded at the beginning of one year
that he would try the virtue of
advertising. That year be spent
eighteen hundred with the .prin-
ters, and his own testimony is,
that he did three times the amount
of business that he everdid before
in the same length of time. He
stills keeps his name and business
prominent in the papers, and finds
his, trade and bis profits steadily
increasing. Other merchants in
Macon, witnessing the success of
this house, followed It's example,
and now the Macon papers are
among the best patronized in the
State, and the business men of
that city are among the most sub
stantial in the South.

Curious Phenomenon.

A correspondent of a Rochester
paper writes:
''On entering a Third avenue
street car, in New York, one morn
ing last winter, at the Sixty-sixth
street depot, l was pleased to find
the floor strewn with rye straw.
This car had stood upon the track
during the latter part of the night
while the straw was in it. The
frost upon the windows gave a
perfect photograph of the straw,
and every passenger looked with
wonder and admiration upon the
beautiful frost paintings.
ga few evenings since, in pass
ing a water trough. which stood
under young elm, noticed-the
moon being full-that the shadow
of the tree was thrown upon the
water. The next morning the
trough was slightly frozen over,
bat behold there was a perfect
photograph Of the dropping branch
es Of the beautiful elm. Can you
tell me how this was done? Has
the moon gone into the photograph
business, and has it been engaged
in that business for a long time
past?"

A correspondent has some good
ideas on the Importance of men
tai activity in retaining a good
face. Hesays: eve were speak
ing of handsome men the other
evening, and | was wondering
why K. had SO lost the beauty for
which, five years ago, he was so
famous. sob, it's because he
never did anything, said B.; "he
never worked, thought or suffer-
ed. You must have the mind
chisseling away at the features, if
you want handsome, middle-aged
men," Since hearing that remark
l have been on the watch to
see whether it is generally true,
and it is. A handsome man who
does nothing but eat and drink,
grows fabby, and the fine lines of
his features are lost, but the hard
thinker has an admirable sculptor
at work, keeping his fine lines in
repair, and constantly going over
his face to improve the original de-
sign"

Velocipedes.

! In this age of Improvement and
Invention, the question is asked
l"What next?" 1t would seem as
if the next thing, (the time for
ballooning having not yet arrivedl
is to be "velocipeding" "a new
word being coined for the occasion.
At a recent Indiana State Fair,
one was exhibited, invented by a
Frenchman living in indianapolis.
1t was made with three wheels,
each about FIVE feet In diameter,
and connected by a skeleton frame.
weighing altogether about 125 lbs.
1t is thought lighter ones, 60 or
10 tbs., could be made, readily
working at 10 to II miles per
hour.
This particular machine at the
Fair was made to go al race-horse
speed, and was offered to be put in
competition with the fastest horse
on the ground, which was declined.
The track, of course, was smooth
and the question would seem to
be whether velocipedes can be
constructed for uneven roads, and
to run up and down hill, with less
expenditure of strength than IN
walking, and with greater speed.
This kind of locomotion affords
a strong argument in favor of good
roads; and if the invention be-
comes popular, these will follow as
a necessity. If q person can go
10 or II miles per hour on ave
on good roads, good reads
will be made.
Velocipeding seems to Pave re-
Gently started afresh in France,
and machines Of the kind used
there have been imported into the
United States; but American in
genuity will soon improve on item,
simplifying, cbeapening, and max
ing them lighter and stronger,
1t is reported that in Paris their
use has greatly cut down the re-
ceipts of omnibusses, and that
nine young gentlemen recently
made a trip on them from Lyons
to Paris, in eleven hours.
