How to Make a Mustard Plaster.

How many people are there whoreal-
ly know how to make amustard plas-
ter? Not one in a hundred, at the most,
perhaps, and yet mustard plasters are
used in every family, and physicians
prescribe their application, never tell
ing anybody how to make them, for
the simple reason that doctors them
selves do not know, as rule. The or
binary way is to mix the mustard with
water, tempering it with little -four,
but such a plaster as that makes it sim
ply abominable. Before it has half
done it's work it begins to blister the
patient, and leaves him finally with a
painful, fayed spot, after having pro-
duced far less effect in beneficial way
than was intended. Now a mustard
plaster should never make blister at
all. If blister is wanted, there are
other plasters far better than mustard
for the purpose. When you make g
mustard plaster, then, use no water
but mix the mustard with
the white Of an egg, and the result will
be plaster which will ''draw" perfect
ly, but will not produce blister even
upon the skin of an infant, no matter
how long it is allowed to remain upon
the part. For this we have the word
of an old and eminent physician, as
we'll as our own experience.

How Women can Save Money.

Iknow young dressmaker who per-
suaded neighbor to lend her money
enough to make the first payment on
sewing machine. She found all the
dress making she could attend to, at
double her usual price per day, and in
a few months the machine was hers,
and she began to save money. Your
wife may not be able to do much house.
work, but she can run sewing ma
chine with ease. In few months she
would save enough to pay for an extra
servant, and pay for the sewing ma-,
chine also. She could make all your.
pants, coats, vests, ETC., besides her own
clothes, and thus save enough from
tailors' and dressmakers' bills to pay
for the machine. My advice is to every
young lady who has only few dollars
in money, to expend it towards par-
chasing good sewing machine.-Aa-
thor Of Country Homes.
1t is not unusual to find the owner
of a sewing machine earning from $50,
to $75 month. Instead of half dol
lar for days work extended far isa+s-
the night, AN operator now receives
from three to FIVE times that sum for q
day of reasonable length. w. G. BRENT,
Port Tobacco, offers the world-renoWn-
ed Elias Howe Machines on gerry ezsg
terms. In fact, no one now can have
any excuse for longer doing without
Sewing Machine. Full and thorough
instruction given at the house of the
customer and satisfaction guaranteed.

GRUMBLERs AT NEWSPAPERS
Horace Greeley, in speaking of grum-
blers at newspapers, thus hits the nail
on the head:
at is strange how close men read
the papers. We never say anything
that any body don't like, but we soon
hear of it. and everybody tells us of it.
If, however, once in a while, we happen
to say good thing, we never hear of
that; nobody seems to notice that. We
pay some man hundred compliments,
and give him dozen puffs, and he takes
it all as tribute to his greatness, and
he never thinks it does him any good.
But if we happen to say things this
man don't like, or something he imag-
ines is a reflection on him or his char
acter, see how quick he flares up and
gets mad about it. All our evils are
duly charged to us, but we never ap-
parently get any credit for what we
do"

This Year-Next Observation-Disclosures

''This year-neXt year -sometime-never,'
Gaily did she tell;
Roseleaf after roseleaf ever
Eddied round and fell.
'This year. she blushed demurely, 4.
"That would be too soon,
He could wait a little, surely
'Tis already June"
"Next year-that's almost too hurried"
Laughingly said she;
"For when once a girl is married,
No more is she free"
sFSometime-that is vague, long waiting,
Many trouble brings;
'Twixt delaying and debating,
Love might use his wings"
'Never-word of evil omen,''
And she sighed, ''Heigh-ho ~
IT'S the hardest lot for women
Lone through life to go.
''This year." ah, the dear months bless her
For that year he came,
Won her love and fondly press'd her
Soon to change her name.
Next year'-early in the May-time
Was to be the day;
Look d she sweetly toward that gay time
Cleaning far away.
Sometime who watched beside her,
Shadows Ger her life
Saw creeping on, knew that denied her
Was the name of wife.
Never''-crown'd with bridal flowers
Came that merry Spring,
Ere those rich and radiant hours
She had taken wing.
''This year" hearts are bowl by sorrow,
'Next year''-some forget,
Sometime comes that golden morrow
"Nevel" earth saw yet.

I9The story is told Of a woman
who freely used her tongue to the scan
dal of others, and made confession to
the priest of what she had done. He
gave her ripe thistle top, and told
her to 60 out in various directions and
scatter the seeds, one byon Wonder
ing at the penance, she obeyed, and
then returned and told her confessor.
To her amazement, he bade her 60 back
and gather the scattered seeds, and
when she objected that it would be i'm
possible, he replied that it would be
still more difficult to gather up and
destroy all evil reports which she had
circulated about others. Any thought
less, careless child can scatter hand
full of thistle seed before the wind in q
moment, but the strongest and wisest
man cannot gather them again.

When the master of the chateau saw
her dead, remorse burned into his soul
and drove him mad, and he was raw

from the chateau to tell the secrets of
his prison house. AS Mr.. st. John

he had bequeathed me full length

On Tuesday evening last Deputy Sheriff
c. j. Thompson went to Washington, six
miles from this place, and arrested and

r. Y. Cooper, but who is supposed to be
Talt Floyd, one of the villains accused of
the murder Of Thomas Archibald, of Frank
lin parish, on the second ultimo, and fer
whose arrest large reward is offered.
Cooper was examined by Justice VeaZie,
on Wednesday, and was then remanded to
Jail for want of sufficient evidence to war
rant his release. and to await further de-
velopments. His story is far from clear OF
satisfactory. He passed through here the
day of his arrest with fine horse and a
very good buggy. While here he offered to
swap the buggy, which is worth at least
$3.50. for a saddle and $50.
This looked suspicious, and, taken in con-
nection with other suspicious circumstances
and the fact that his personal appearance
tailed somewhat with the description given
by the newspapers of one Of the murderers
of the unfortunate Archibald, suggested
the propriety OF his arrest, and he had
scarcely reached Washington before the
officers of the law were upon him. The
general belief is thar whoever he might
be, he stole the horse and buggy.
In few days we will probably know
more about The matter.
