THE following cure for snake bites
has been twice published in the Sci
entifc Amsericdn as certain remedy,
and is also vouched for by an Iowa
gentleman who has tried it himself
and seen it tried many times:
RrOmlne. five drachms; bichloride
mercury, two grains (; iodide potass,
four grains. Ten drops, administer
ed in table spoonful of whisky or
brandy every twenty minutes, rntil
the symptoms are relieved, for a
grown person less for a child, in
proportion to age. When prepared,
it should be put into a vial with
well-ground, closely fitted glass stop
per, covered with beeswax around
the mouth of the vial, the stopper
in cloth or leather, tied
down, to prevent as far as possible
evaporation, as it is extremely vola-
lille.

As an evidence of the great fertilit,
of the lands of Sherman Island, il
Suisun Bay, California, it is STATED
that wheat planted in ashes, on the
surface, without any ploughing, yield,
eighty three and half bushels to the
acre for the first season, and forty-fivt
bushels for the second-the "volun
teer'' crop. Barley, under similar
conditions, yielded one hundred and
twelve bushels to the acre for the first
crop, and seventy eight bushels for the
volunteer crop. 1t is also stated
that there is now growing upon the
island peach tree of strong, thrifty
growth, from stone planted last
summer, and upon this tree arc four
promising peaches that will probably
mature within. twelve months from the
time the parent fruit was plucked from
the stem.

The other evening two Irishmen

to the better class of emigrants, ar
rived in Toledo late in the evening,
and stopped at the Island House.
They we're shown to room far up

two gentlemen sat down to enjoy a

and asked agonizingly, as there no

creatures 2" He told the travellers
that if they put out their gas and
closed their windows they would ex-

suggestion and placed themselves

THE NATIONAL DEBr.-The goot
work goes bravely on, and day 10y day
silently but surely, the mountain o
our public debt is being cut down
and the way is being prepared to light
en- the burdens oftaxation. The coun
try is again gratified and its enemies
domestic and foreign. afflicted with
an official statement that the National
Debt was reduced Seven liitliOns -Four
Hundred thousand Dolllrs during the
last month, and would have been re
duced by more than Nine Millions
but for the necessity of paying over
One Million and half of interest on
bonds advanced to the Pacific Road
or roads, which they are under obIi-
CATION. but not yet, able to pay. The
,Otal reduction of the Debt since Gen.
Grant assumed the Presidency five
falls little short of fForty-tour
Million of Dollars.

DiSinfectantS.

As the hot season has again ar
rived it may be well to suggest t.
everybody the necessity of keeping
everything as clean as possible and
free from all decomposing matter
aboutthe premises Health demands
this. Much of the disease Of the
summer months is due to carelessness
no doubt. Nothing tends more to
promote the health of family than
. pure atmosphere, and that can only
be secured by good ventilation, and
by keeping the premises from un-
pleasant and unhealthy odors. In
sick chambers, cellars, sinks, out
houses, stables, etc, odors at times
accumulate to such an extent as to
call for the use of disinfectants. Cof-
fee roasted in a room solution of
copperss sprinkled about, or cloths
W.T. in it and hung up; chloride of
line moistcned; each acts quickly
8 q disinfectant. Chloride of lime
is one of the best, and, where con-
siderable quantity is needed, cheap
home made article can be manufac-
tured that will answer all practical
purposes as well as that procured of
the druggist, and be immensely
cheaper. ItmaY Yprepared as follows:
Dissolve common salt in water until
the water Is fully saturated, Or will
take no more salt, then slack lime
with the salt water, putting on suffi-
cient of the water to make a thick
paste. A little salt water chould be
added daily for several days till the |
whole mass is thoroughly permeated
BY it, and afterward occasionally to I
keep it moist. 1t may be used wher-
ever offensive odors are generated,
with the fullest confidence that it will
purify the air. 1t is much
better TO scatter chloride of lime
around an offensive locality, since it
axes up the effiuvia rather than
Iuickllme, which drives it off into
he air for every body to breathe. Il
A convenient method of cleaning
! tub, cask or jar, is to place lime in
t, and then slack it with salt water. q
'eing careful to keep the vessel COW
red to keep the steam in. Too t
much water should not be put on so S
o drown the lime entirely, and then e
be vessel should be allowed to re- a
lain rome time to absorb any disa- b
reeable odors that may be about it. t.

CANARY BIRDS are sometimes GOV

BIIsTERED HANDS AND FREr.-The
speediest remedy Is to light tallow
candle and let the melted tallow drop
in cold water, then mix the tallow
with strong spirits and rub it thor
oughly into the palms or soles; this
is both preventative and curative.
FooD.--The most easily digested
articles of food as yet known, are
sweet apples baked, cold raw cabbage
sliced in vinegar, and boiled rice
the most indigestible are suet, boiled
cabbage and pork the former re-
quires an hour, the latter five.
GRAHAM BREAD-Take the un-
bolted flour OF wheat, wet it with
lukewarm water, adj salt and yeast,
knead in enough more of this flour
to make it stiff, add little molasses,
and, when risen, bake in medium
sized loayes.

Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and COnsumotiOn.

ana Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has anything won so widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series of years, and among most of the races of
men it has risen higher and higher IN their estInl
ton, as it has become better known. It's uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made it known as
liable protector against them. While adapted To
mier forms of disease and 10 young children, il is
at the same time the most eectual remedy that
be given for ineipient consumption, and the dan
gerOus affections of the throat and lungs. As pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed a. all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled COasamptio5s is thought in
curabe, still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry PectOpGi. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Th~oat that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
toFat they subsde and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from it.
Asthnse is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pect0r0t in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here or do more
than assure the public that its qualities are fully
maintained.
