10 Suffering M others

The agony that some young mothers undergo
from the caklng of milk in the breasts, ulcera-
ton of the nipple and other painful affections of
the mamllary organs, is extreme. And yet a
few applications of the Ointment would remove
the difficulty and enable the sufferers to resume
the maternal function and continue to exercise 1t
without interruption or pain. AS the liteof the
child as well as the health Of the mother may
depend on her ability to nurse it, this fsctwhich
ia verified by ample testimony, should be treas
ured in tho M morv Of every wife and matron.

To OWNERS OF COWS.-Cows
should run dry six months before
calving. If MIXED closely towards
calving the calves will be poorer.
A COW newly come i'll should not
drink cold water in cold weather but
moderately cold Stops.
Calves intended for raising should
be taken from the COW within a few
days and then they will be less
liable to suck when old. Feed them
first Oh new milk for a while, then
skim milk, taking care that all
changes are gradual by adding
only portion at first.
Hearty eaters are desirable for
COWS. and may be selected while

Heiiers dried up too early after
calving will always run dry abou.

about to embark Is Cromwell's En-

much disturbed in his mind as he
rested in Harwich on the preceding
night, when he reflected on the dis
tracted state of the nation. A
confident servant slept in an adjoin-
ing bed, who finding that his mast
er could not sleep, said:

A $500, 900 Diamond.
From the Rock Island Argus, May -.


A few days ago = gentleman came
up the river on the steamer New
Benton, who privately exhibited to
the officers Of that packet q diamond
in the rough, which, in its unpol-
ishea state, is supposed to be worth
somewhere in the vicinity of $780,
600. 1t is further supposed to be
the second or third diamond in size
in the world. 1t is about the size
ofa walnut, is perfectly transparent
and has the power Of ma gnifying to
the same extent as 4 first quail
ty glass. The lucky possessor
found it at his home in the gold
mining district of Nova Scotia, and
also stated that he had found one
or two small ones, one Of which
he sold for $4,000 in its rough
state. To convince the officers Of
the boat, he produced Nova Sco-
tia papers containing accounts of
the finding of the diamond, minute
descriptions of the finder, and other
evidences too indisputabls to be
questioned. He also showed let
ters from prominent New York Jew
elers, who had examined the prize,
one of which was from the house of
Ball, Black & Co. He is going to
Iowa to see about landed invest
ments, with view of some day
locating there. He proposes to
have the diamond polished, and sell
it to some crowned head if possible.
For tho benefit ofthe laides we will
state that we don't know whether
he is married or not. ~
