Yesterday was busy day for the Fire Depart

guish fire Of extraordinary proportions which
Was eating up the extensive works OF the Union
Bolt and Screw Company, situated at the juno

northwest Of the Rolling Mills. It is
supposed that the confagration WAS started
by sparks from q passing locomotive;
no more reasonable explanation Of its origin can
be given, as there we're no fires in or about the
building that the watchrnan was aware OF. When
the steamers arrived on the ground, the build

his attention to protecting the valuable ma

Food Medicine.

DR.. Hall advances a theory
that food can be used as "a cur
ative remedy equally with med
icine. He related a case where
a man was cured of billiousness
by going without supper, and
the free use Of lemonade. This
patient rose, he says, after be
began the use of this drink, re-
freshed, and with a feeling as
though his blood had had liter
ally been cleansed. He further
says that he cures cases Of spit
ting blood by using salt; epilep-
sy and yellow fever by water
melons; kidney affection by Gel
cry; poison, olive or sweet oil;
erysipelas, pounded cranberries
applied to the part affected; n.y.
drophobia, onions. If this the
Dry is correct, drugs would be-
come drugs" in the market, land
people soon learn that the way
to keep well was to eat certain
kinds of food. The worldwould

To MAKE WHISKY PICKLES.
In these degenerate days we often
get hold of whisky that will eat
up cucumbers speedily. Better
leave such liquor for the human
stomachs which crave it, and buy
alcohol pure. 1t is just as cheap,
for it can be reduced with water
according to its strength. | have
used gallon of alcohol to five or
six of soft water. Pick your Gu
cumbers, wash carefully, SO as not
to bruise them, and put them in
as fast as they are collected. Stir
them up from the bottom every
day, and stir in the scum that
rises as they work. This process
soon makes good pickles and sharp
vinegar. The sun or fire hastens
the process. Tie pickles are nj

CURE FOR SNAKE BITE.-We have
published Dr.. Cornell's remedy
several times, and for the benefit
Of those who may get bitten by a
snake, We publish it again. Take
one table spoonful of gunpowder,
and salt, and the yellow of an egg,
and mix so as TO make a plaster,
place OH a cloth and apply to
the wound, letting it extend an
inch on all sides of the wound.
As the poison is drawn the plas,
ter will lose its sticking qualities,
and when full will fall off. Apply
a new plaster until it fails to stick,
which is a sure evidence that the
poison is all out. This will cure
snake bite on either human or
beast. Cut this out and save it.

COLD SLAw.-Cut the cabbage
rather fine into a basin or large
bowl; sprinkle a little salt over;
then with a potato masher thor
oughly bruIse the cabbage, then
take three tablespoonfuls sugar;
half pint best sweet cream; four
tablespoonfuls vinegar; stir well
together and mix through the cab
bage. The cabbage must not be
too green. Many persons do not
know the value of cream in cook
ing; it is far preferable to butter
in a great many things.
