Remedy for Scarlet Fever.

The San Francisco Chronicle says
that Robert Christie, Of the Protero,
suggests a remedy for the scarlet
fever which he AYERS has invariably
proved successful. 1t is very simple,
and lies within the reach of those
whose limited means preclude them
from employing the services Of q
physician. 1t is this: "Take an on
ion and cut it it halves, cut out por-
ton of the centre, and into the cavity
put spoonful of saffron; put the
pieces together, then wrap in cloth
and bake III an oven until the onion
is cooked so that the juice will run
freely, then squeeze out all the juice
and give the patient teaspoontul, at
the same time rubbing the chest and
throat with goose-greasc or rancid
bacon, if there is cough or soreness
in the throat. In a short time the
fever will break out in an eruption
all over the body. All that is then
necessary is to keep the patient warm
and protected from draught, and re-
covery is certain"
Mr.. Christie says that he has been
employing this remedy for many
years, and never knew it to fail when
proper care was taken of the patient
after Its application. One family, in
which there were FIVE children down
with the disease at one time recently
used this simple remedy upon his
telling them Of it, and every one Of
the little ones recovered in a short
time.

How He Won Her.

A young couple were occupying
rustic seat in Union Park, Chicago,
one evening lately, and from the ex-
preston of the masculine represen-
tative's face, it was evident he was
"a goner"-drifted, as it were, over
the great psychological Niagara, of
affection, and was then beng dizzlly
whirled in the trothy whirlpools of
sentiment. The swimming swans
had no charms for him; the eagles
were as nothing; and he did not
even notice the big white bear. "Oh,
do be mine," he said, attempting to
draw her little near to his end of
the seat. She made herself rigid and
heaved sigh. "I'll be good man
and give up all my bad habits" he
urged. No reply. "Ill never drink
another Drop" he continued. Still
unrelenting sat the object of his adj
Grafton. "And give up chewing
No response. "And smoking"
Cold as ever. "And join the church
-" She only shook her head. "And
give you diamond engagement
ring" he added in desperation. Then
the maiden lifted her dropping eyes
to his, and, leaning her fiizzes on his
shoulder, tremblingly murmured in
to his ravlshed ear: "Oh, Edward,
you-you are so good" And there
they sat, and sat, until the soft arms
of night-that dussy nurse of the
world-had folded them from right,
pondering, planning, thinking-she
of the diamond ring, and he Of how
OH earth he was to get it.

A Snake Sorry
Springfield Mass J Union

George NJ. Ball. young man of
eighteen years, employed on the farm
OF Mr.. Perry, in Westteld, has been
accustomed to drink, while milking
night and morning, quantity OF
warm milk. A few mornings since,
failing to take his accustomed
draught, something came up in his
throat, choking him, and he fell
over scnseless. A son of Mr. Perry
was surprised to see snakes head
protruding from Balls mouth, but on
attempting to seize it the serpent re-
treated down his throat.
Apowertul emetic was administer
ed, and in a short time the young
man vomited up shocked adder"
two feet eight inches long, and about
as thick as two fingers of a mans
hand. 1t lived only five minutes.
Ball has probably carried the serpent
for at least twelve years, as he was ac-
customed to drink from small brook
when boy. Since parting from his
tenant his health has greatly improv-
ed, and his appetite is little more
reasonable.

Tho Fighting Boy.

l used to be boy, once. l was
born at very early age; in fact,
was so young that was almost dis
couraged. Poor littler me! How
could l have the patience to wait till
should grow up and be a GREAT BIG
MAN!
Oh dear! And then my big broth
er used to abuse me. Didn't hate
him, though! "Just wait till l get
big enough, old boy, and l will show
YOU what stuff little johnny is made
Of" ed to tell him. Ha! ha!
asked him the other day how old he
was when he pounded me so unmer'
cifully. "Only thirteen" he said,
with a laugh. 1t is SO funny. Why,
thought him as blg as father, and
twice as strong; he used to knock
me about so roughly. But then l had
my revenge. You see l had two
younger brothers. l could make
them toe the mark all wanted to-
and they didn't dare tell, either. Yet
see if they did I'd come down harder
next time. Sometimes they would
combine forces against me, and then
they made it lively. l wanted to
lord it over somebody. All boys
have similar feelings. mean all
boys who are good for anything
Of course l am not talking about
poky. mulletheaded boys. The poky
boys have their use, however. They
were made for smart boys to govern.
How l used to pity weak, timid
boys! Poor little things! They
should have been girls in the first
place. I used to think that mothers
made a great mistake when they
dressed them up in trowsers. But
then women always did have strange
notions about such things. AS l was
saying, all WI, timid boys should
have been girls. They are not fit to
make men of, and-they would make
awful poor women. The boys like
to see fight, even the timid ones en-
joy it, if they are safe over a fence
or under the protection of some big
brother; for no big brother will allow
another boy to abuse younger scion
of the family. That he regards as
his exclusive privilege. How | used
to admire a mate on board a Missis-
sippi steamer. How he would swear
at the men AMI kick and cuff them
about! "Surely," thought l, "he is a
man that is a man" Boys have such

A Game of Cards Causes the Seoara-
tiou z Husband and Wifi.
Litchfeld (Ky..) Journal.

A gentleman and his wife who re-
side in this county went a short time
since to visit neighbor, with lnten-
tions to stay all night. After supper
the host proposed game of cards to
his guest, to which the latter assent
ed, and they sat down to play. The
wife OF the visitor, being religiously
inclined, raised remonstrance
against the game, but this was disre-
garded by her husband.
She then became very much ex-
cited, and threatened to burn the cards
if they continued to play. At last
her husband turned to her and said:
81 guess I'm wearing the breeches
now, and if you don't want to see
me play and can't behave yourself,
Just get your bonnet and go home
at once" She took him at his word,
and all that night her lonely pillow
was wet with tears of bitter snguish,
called forth by the knowledge of
her husbands wickedness.
Next morning the husband, who
in the meantime had been nursing
his wrath, went home and told his
wife that she had disgraced him, and
now she could pack her traps and
leave his bed and board forever.
Remonstrance was in vain, and she
sorrowtully departed. That night
the husband retired to his widowed
bed-to think, not to sleep. Visions
of the past happiness and regret for
his hasty expulsion of his companion
passed through his mind. Presently
he heard a gentle tap at the door.
"Come in," said he; the door opened
and his wife stood upon the thres-
hold. "Betsy," SAID he, "what are
yon doing out this time of night?'
"Oh, nothing" said she. snake me
some coffee" said he. This she pro-
ceeded to do with more than her
usual alacrity, and nothing more was
said Of their disae
Now a deck of cards adorns the
mantle piece in their home, and
every night after the supper dishes
are cleard away the husband and
wife ait down to cheerful game Of
"old sledge." So wags the world.

Fish Hatching.

An intelligent correspondent Of
the Hamilton Freeman, writing from
Anamosa, gives the following inter-
esting account Of the history and
methods OF the fish breeding expert
nents at the latter place under the
auspices of the State.
''The Fifteenth General Assembly,
in their great liberality, appropriated
the enormous sum Of $4,000 for the
purposes of fish culture, and even
this was given very grudgingly.
''I'he first step to be taken was to
build a Matching house, and this was
done at cost Of about $500. The
house is located on the Wapsie river,
about one mile and a half from Ana
mosa. The Matching house is 2Ox4O
feet, and is two stories high, the up
per story being feet and the lower
one IL. The lower story is used for
Matching purposes, and the upper one
is fitted up for family residence
In the lower story are eighteen long
troughs running nearly the entire
length of the building. These are
divided into compartments Of about
eighteen inches long, with sufficient
space between the lower ends Of the
partitions and the bottom of the
trough to give free course to the wa
ter that is constantly running into
the troughs from large spring. In
these troughs the eggs are hatched,
and when of sufficient size the fish
are transferred, and here they are
kept until they are taken out for dis
tribution in the different waters of
the State.
"The building of the hatching-
houses left the Commissioners with
about 81, ,25O to go on, and out of this
a man had to be paid for taking care
of the house and attending to the
fish. Had it not been for the appro-
priation made by the National Gov
ernment for the encouragement of
fish culture in the States, nothing
could have been accomplished by the
Commissioners with the paltry SUN
appropriated by the last General AS
sembly. Notwithstanding the limited
means at the disposal of the Commis-
sioners, they have, by devoting their
time to the business, and by working
energetically, accomplished more
than the most sanguine could have
hoped for. In 1874 upwards Of TO-
OOO,O 900 of fishes were distributed by
the Commissioners in different waters
of the State. These consisted of
shad, California salmon, Penobscot
salmon, and abont 25, 900 fish of Iowa
varieties. In 1875 there have been
distributed 10000 brook trout, lo0,-
600 shad and 5000 Of Iowa varieties.
There are now on hand at the State
Matching house, near Anamosa, SOo,-
900 California salmon, $4,000 lake
trout, and $4,000 white fish, which
will be re .dy for distribution in about
two weeks. Aside from ~all this,
100000 lake trout eggs were sent to
DEBORAH to be Matched out and taken
care Of there"

Different Tongues.

The tongue of Kindness is full OF
pity, love and comfort. 1t loves to
cheer, console and encourage.
The tongue of Discretion knows
where to speak, and where to be ST.
lent; careful, what, when and to
whom it speaks.
The tongue of knowledge retails
no small talk, scandalous reports, or
small affairs of any kind, but tries to
please, enlighten and do the utmost
good.
The tongue Of Truth never stretch
es itself like India rubber to tell q
good story. 1t breads all lies, white,
black or yellow.
The tonge Of Humility does not
speak great swelling words about as.
tonishing exploits. 1t boasts not Of
its own great deeds, has nothing to
say Of its own merits.

From out his winter palace
The King has started forth;
The birds have left their summer nests,
The wind is iE the north.
The river and the mountain,
The brown and wrinkled sod,
Begin 10 show already where
His messengers have trod.
The clouds unroll their ermine,
And DER meadow. lane and street,
Like cOurtiers, spread their mantles dOwl
Before the royal feet.
Close to the friendly corners
The sheltered ivies cling,
And wear their emerald cloaks despite
The coming Of King.
His mien and look are naughty.
His look is cold and stern,
And yet kis kisses on the cheek
Like crimson roses burn.
Down from the crested mountain,
With grandeur in is tread,
The Winter King is coming. with
A white crown on his head.
Not amid waving banners.
Or to the sound Of drains
Beating their gladdest music,
This conquering hero comes;
But silently and sOlemnly
He enters his domain,
With twenty and hundred good,
Stout yeomen in his train.
Clasping the old earth tightly
Against his frozen breast,
As if she were his chosen Queen,
He says: Il bring you rest.
Thou has reigned long and nobly,
Thy virtues all are known,
And thou will not forgotten be
Though possess the throne!'
Contentedly resigning
Her scepter and her crown,
Beneath dOwny coverlet
The weary Queen lay down
To sleep with her COMPANIONS,
Who. at the touch Of spring,
Shall rise again in time to see
The going of King.

An embarrassing inci..cnt occurred
to a Whitehall, New York, clergy
man recently. He married couple
and when he examined the fee he
found it was a $lOO-bill. The next
day the bridegroom telegraphed tina,
it was mistake-he meant to hand
him a $40 bill. The clergyman re-
piled that it was too late to rectify
the mistake, as he had joyfully used
the money to liquidate a long stand
ing debt.
