Salt in sickness.

THE ELDER BUSH A PREVENTIVE OF INSECTS
II is not known to many persons that the CON-
mon elder hush of our country is great safe

one will notice, it will be found that worms or
insects never touch the elder. This fact was the
initial point of experiments of an Englishmau, IN
1894, and he communicated the results Of his ex-
periments to London magazine. Accident ex
humed this old work, and Kentucky correspon-
dent last year communicated to the Dollar Ners-
paper a copy of the practical results asserted
by the English experimenter: that the leaves of
the elder scattered over cabbage, cucumbers,

The suggestions of German writer on the use
of honey in affections of the throat have been
confirmed by the personal experience of others,
and perhaps deserve the attention of the invalid.
We quote: "A strong influence for publishing
this book was the fact that |, sufferer from
hemorrhages, already given up to despair, and
at the verge of the grave, was saved by the
derful curative powers of honey; and now, thank
God, am freed, not only frum weakness of the
lungs but rejoice in the possession of perfect
health. At my first attack, upwards of thirty
years ago, powders and tea were ordered for Inc,
which benefited me but little. l then placed lit
tie confidence in honey, which used occasional
~, and in small quantities. Judging from my
present knowledge. believe that the honey was
the only remedy which was doing me any good,
and it is this that have to thank for the grad
ua, the sure restoration of my health. As my
disease increased began to cod liver oil,
which weakened and injured my stomach so
that could hardly digest anything more, and
my condition became worse and worse. Again
returned to honey, when my sufferings began to
decrease and disappear. Besides the use of hon
ey, took pains to preserve my breast and lungs
from injury, which, in my trying situation as
public teacher, was almost impossible. My dis
ease being caused by my constant teaching du-
ring so many years, gave up my profession, and
honey was my only medicine, whereby /, by the
simplest, safest, quickest and pIeasantest man
ner, (for was fond of honey, relieved the dis
ease in my throat; and out of thankfulness /
now write this book for the and benefit of
many especially for the use of those suffering
from diseases of the throat and lungs"

THE WRONG FLEA performance of educat-
ed fieas is at the present time attracting much
attention in Berlin. At recent exhibition one
of the most accomplished of the insects, obeying
a sudden impulse of its nature, sprung from the
table and took refuge on the person of an illus
trious lady. The exhibitor was in despair, as
the truant was his best performer, aud said he
would be ruined unless it could be recovered.
The lady good-naturedly retired to an adjoining
room, and, after few minutes absence returned
with the flea between her thumb and fore-fnger.
The exhibitor took it eagerly, gave one look at
it, and then, with visible embarrassment, said,
"Your Highness will pardon me- but this is not
the right flea"

separation BY witnessing his agonies on Tuesday
evening about o'clock, placed blister on his
breast, which took effect at once, and removed
about two square inches of the skin. On this
denuded surface busted ten grains of the sui.
phate of morphine. This had not been on ten min
utes before he showed signs of opium delirium,

was evidently out Of pain, and in temporary
condition of happiness. We repeated this three
times, applying forty grains in all, and in the
end though death could not longer be postpond, it
was freed from those fearful exhibitions of pain
which had before characterized the progress of
the disease. i hope that this suggestion of the
extreme struggle in my mind to relieve my friend
may if applied in the earlier stages, lead TO some
means of breaking the heretofore certain fatality
of hydrophobia.
