Cure for Chills and Fever.

Several years ago / was travelling with a
very intelligent Kansas stock-dealcr In
course of a conversation he remarked that
in the early settlement of that State he had
suffered much, as all early settlers always
do in the West, from this disease. He had
used the ordinary remedies, largely com
posed of quinine, with the usual results
curing, to return again in week or two.
Being among some of the Indians south
of that State, he came across Frenchman
who called himself doctor. This man adj
vised him to get an ounce of camphor, all
in one piece, if possible, sewing it up in a
small cloth bag, hanging it round his neck
with a tape, SO it would come a: the bot
tom OF the sternum or breast bone, and Sc
curing is there with another tape round the
body, to keep it i'll place. This, he said,
would all evaporate in a week or ten days
when he must get another and use it in the
same way. Two ounces thus used, costing
20 cents, would cure, he declared, the worst
case of ague so it would never come back
The Kansas man declared that he had tried
this remedy in hundreds OF eases, and had
never known it to fail. Since obtaining
this information | have tried it many times,
with the same results. So simple and harm
less a remedy ought to be i'll general USE

The Dried Fruits of America.

Up to within a short period the United
States has been dependent entirely upon
the South of Europe for its supply of the
luxury of dried fruit, such as raisins, Zante
currants, prunes, figs, &c. The total
amount imported by the United States is
not less, in round figures, than SIS, 200, 900.
Several years ago California started on a
large scale the cultivation of the grape, aud
it was successful. Succeeding this came
the experiment of drying the fruit to a
raisin. Samples of these raisins were sent
to Europe, and when shown to MIR Clemens,
the great raisln factor of Malaga, he re-
marked that in time the California raisin
would supply the United States home mar
ket to the exclusion of the foreign product.
California is now coming to the front IN
this matter, and from recent experiments
made by the Alden Evaporator it has be-
come evident that the United States is soon
to be made independent of foreign supplies
in raisins, currants, prunes, DC.
There is another article of dried fruit that
bids fair to become important in the com
merce of this country, and that is dried
peaches. In Indiana, Kentucky, Tenn, N. C.
and Georgia there are immense peach
orchards covering hundreds Of acres
By new process the peach is now pared,
make it one of the most delicious desert
dishes.
In Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and llli-
nois the trade in dried raspberries and
blackberries has BECOME immense, and
there are houses in Chicago that can fill ON
demand an order for five hundred barrels.
The system of drying fruit in this country
by hot air instead of the old process of dry
ing in the sun or in the kiln, has proved OF
great value. The enhanced prices at which
foreign fruit dealers have held their pro-
ducts during the past four or five years
have driven our importers to the necessity
of reducing their orders and compelling the
shipments to be made on consignment, and
now that it is demonstrated that our West
ern slope can furnish all, and more than is
sufficient for home consumption, we may
look for a speedy release from foreign de-
