CunduranPo.

As touching the virtues of
Cundurango for the cure of
cancer, the Chicago Tribune has
an editoaial in which the fol-
lowing facts are given: A citi-
zen of Chicago, of high stand
ing, took his wife who had
been afflicted with cancer to
Washington to be treated by
DIR. Bliss. Her case was a most
serious one, involving q speedy
termination in some way or
the other. She tried the cum
durango remedy and patiently
awaited the result. In LESS
than two weeks the cancer ex-
hibited alarming signs, threat
ening her with death from bleed
ing. DIR. Bliss could not ac-
count for the change, and an i'm
mediate operation was resolved
upon. Tho knife soon ex-
planned the condition which the
cancer had assumed. An inn
mense growth had become en-
tirely separated from the flesh,
but ut the same time had pre-
vented the latter from healing,
and the flow of blood was from
the unhealed flesh. AS soon
as the cancer was removed the
flesh beneath was found appa-
realty free from disease. Com
paratively little pain resulted
from the operation. The lady
rapidly recovered her strength,
and is now at home in this city,
not only free from every sign or
symptom Of cancer, but enjoy
ing a degree Of health to which
she has been stranger for years.
The theory is that Cundurango
had the effect Of uprooting and
throwing off the cancerous
growth which had attained large
proportions.

To SroP BLEEDlNG.-Bleeding
from O wound on man or beast may
he stopped by mixture of wheat
-four and common salt, in equal
parts bound on with a cloth. If
the bleeding is profuse use large
quantity, say from one TO three
pints. 1t may be left on for hours,
or even days, if necessary. The
person who gave this recipe says
in this manner he saved the life
Of q horse which was bleeding from

ceased five minutes after thu ap-

Spelling Horses Feet.

1t is almost impossible to get
horses shod without having the
frogs cut away. All veterinary
surgeons, all horsemen, all leading
blacksmiths, agree that the frog
should not be pared one particle
not even trimmed. No matter
how pliable and soft the frog is,
cut it away smooth on all sides,
and in two or three days it will be
dry and hard as a chip. You
might as well cut off all the leaves
of trees, and expect them to -four
isb, as to pare away the frog and
have u healthy foot. The rough,
spongy part of the frog is to the
foot what leaves are to the trees
the lungs.
Never have a red.hot shoe put
upon the foot to burn it level. If
you can find a blacksmith that is
mechanic enough to level the foot
without redhot iron, employ him.
The burning process deadens the
hoof and tends to contract it. If
you do not think so, try the red
hot poker on your finger nail, and
see il it will not affect the growth
of that.
There are many important points
in shoeing horses, but these two
are of more Importance than all
the rest, level to the apprehension
of men not skilled in horses, and
the two most disregarded. mirror

SoUP.-All soups are better
to be made with fresh uncook-
ed meat, as that which has been
cooked has lost much of it's fla
vor and nearly all of its juices.
1t is therefore better economy
to hash or slice your cold meat
and buy fresh for soup. Soup
should not boil very hard, as
that has a tendency to tougher
the meat. Fat meat is not so
proper nor healthy for soup as
the leaner parts of the finest
meat. The fat does not impart
much flavor, and is not palatable.
Soup may be kept until the
next day; before it is heated O.
yer again skim off the cake of
tho fat which congeals on the
top.

Parsnip and Orion seed can on
ly be depended on to grow the
year after it natures. Beans are
safe only for two years, as also are
carrot, egg plant, and several Of
the pot herbs. Radish, lettuce,
spinach, and asparagus are good
for three years. Celery, cabbage,
caulihower, and turnip seeds may
be tolerabIy relied on for three
years after maturity. Beet, man.

IAN Colon The best way to
make this shade is to get pail of
ground bark from the tannery !;
but if that can't be done, make
hemlock bark as fine as possible,
soak or beat it until you think the
color is out: make your goods as
soft as possible by washing them
in strong soap suds, and immerse !;
if not dark enough, add more bark.
Don't color in iron, it will make
drab; if you want drab, add a lit.
tie copperas.

When color on a fabric has
been accidentally or other
wise destroyed by acid, ammo
MIA is applied to neutralize the
same, after which an applica-
ton of chloroform will in al
most all cases restore the origi-
nal color. The application of
ammonia is common, but that of
chloroform is but little known.
Chloroform will also remove
paint from a garment or else
where, when benzole or bisul-
phide or carbon fails.

Cure for Cancer.

Frequent instances of the cure
of Cancers by means of a tea made
from the common red clover have
been published of late; and as
the remedy is certainly a harmless
and inexpensive one, the qualities
claimed for it should be generally
known. The Boston Herald saws
that well known sea captain of
Newberryport feels certain that he
has been cured of cancer Oh his
nose by drinking tea made from
red clover tops, and using the same
preparation as an external appli-
cation. What was considered q
fully developed cancer two years
and a half ago has now almost
disappeared under this treatment.
