A Small POx Remedy.

A correspondent of the Stockton, Cali
fornia, Herald writes as follows:
herewith append a receipt which has
been used to nay knowledge in hundreds of
cases. 1t will prevent OF cure the small
pox though the pittings are filling. When
Jenner discovered the COW pox in Eng
land the world of science hurled an ava
lanchc of fame upon his head, but when
the most scientific school of medicine in
the world-that of Paris-published this
recipe as penacea for small pox, it passed
UNDECIDED. 1t is as unfailing as fate, and
conquers in every instance. It. is harmless
when taken by well person. 1t will also
cure scarlet fever. Here is the recipe as
have used it, and cnred my children
of scarlet fever; here it is as l have
used it to cure the small pox-when learned
physicians said the patient must die it
cured: Sulphate of zinc one grain, foxglove
(digitalis) one grain, half a teaspoonful of
sugar; mix with two tablespoonful of
water. When mixed add four onces of
water. Take tablespoonful every hour.
Either disease will disappear in twelve
hours. For 4 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.

Billings on the School Boy.

1t IL very eazy tew write about the in
nercent joys of our school-boy days. More
than 700 cemposishuns hav bin composed
describing this memorable occasion.
Yure glowing account of "thoze golden
hours, that laffing fled on silver tiptees,"
is very slick indeed, and goes to show that
you might hav had a good thing once.
But let me ask you, Bill Bramble ibid
yu really kno it at the time9 Didn't you
actually think in them daze, with even the
big chance yu had, that being an innocent
school boy waz about the meanest Dizziness
that emmy boldly kould foller? ''
If emmy boldly would Civ yu so dollars
would you go back and start the innocent
schoel-boy trade over agin, on the same
old kapital? Not emmy school,
boy innocence for me, Mr. William Bramble,
if yu leaze-barefooted- thistle in each
big toe, and a stun bruize on each heel,
and a rye straw hat, without emmy handle
to it-fried pork for breakfast, and chunks
of billed injun meal and milk for supper
hard work from sun-up till shutdown, and
three times week, for variety, an apple
tree sprout licking in the korn krib-three
months, each winter, ov Dabolrs arithme-
tic for educashun, and working odd spells,
for sum skintiint nabor, at eighteen cents 4
day, tew get spending money for the next
4th ov July!
Thiz is the kind ov joy that meny q
school-boy remembers and looks back upon,
over his shoulder, with mingled pleasure
and remorse that prisoner feels who has
reached the heights and sees the innocent
old Jail in the valley. 1t requires a good
deal of native genius few work this kind NV
yung innocence up into decent poetry.

THE TOWERS OF BABEL.

OPPOSING IMPRovEMENT.-In 1910, an
English manufacturer, unfortunately for
himself, revived the practice of hardening
needles in oil instead of in water. The
effect Of this was that instead of the nee
dies becoming generally crooked as was the
case when hardened in water, the crooked
needle was the exception; and those vino
earned their living by Strengthening the
"crooks viewed with alarm the process,
which they imagined would take away their
means of support. The unfortunate reviver
of this process was in consequence repeat
eddy mobbed, and at length driven from
the town. This mode of hardening is,
however, now generally adopted, excepting
for the best qualities.
