A CURE FOR CoNsUMrTloH.-A cor
respondent of the Southern Planta-
ton writes as follows about the POW
er Of a we'll known plant:
II have discovered 4 remedy for
pulmonary consumption. 1t has
cured number Of cases after they
had commenced bleeding at the lungs
and the hectic flush was already on
the cheek. After trying this rene
dy t" my own satisfaction, l have
thought THAT phi!anthrophy required
that l]et it be known to the world.
It is the common mullen, stepped
struHx sweetened with cofltc-sugar,
and drank freely. The herb should
be gathered before the end Of July if
Convenient. Young or old plants are
gocd dried in the shade. and kent III
clean paper bags. The medicine
must be continued from three to ak
months, according to the nature Of
the disease. 1t is good for the blood
vessels also. 1t strengthens the sys-
TEN, and builds mp instead of taking
away strength. 1t make good blood
and takes inflammation from the lungs.
1t is the wish of the writer that every
periodical in the United States, Cana
da. and Europe should publish this
receipt for the benefit of the human
family. Lay this up and keep it In
the house ready for usc.'
1t often happens that eggs will get
frozen 50 as to crack the shells in &c.
we're weather. and are Of course unfit
to sell; but if they are kept frozen
until needed for use, and then brought
into n warm room and boiling water
poured over them, then left till cool.
the egg will DO uninjured, and will
beat rs nicely as if it had not been
chilled, and is just a. good for any
use. After being once thawed, II
must be used Immediately; if allow
ell to stand day or two, it will not
he fresh or nice. .....- .'

! emp Of sugar, I cup of flour; beat

and let it Just come to boil again;
stir it while on the stove, then set
away to cool; make the crust tho
same as for other pies, and line y
plate; spread some lar'l or butter IN
the top, and then put on another cruat
and bake; when done, and nearly
cold, take off the top crust and put
the cream into tho lower one; then
put the top one over the cream. A
little rssence of lemon may be stirred
into7the cream just before it is put
Into tho crust.
Boiled Bread Pnd:ling.-Crumh
your. stale bread in q pudding-pail
and cover with sweet milk, aud set
by the stove to warm and soften.
Then to every quart of the mixture
add 3 wcll-beaten eggs, a cup of SUI
gar. and q handful Of aisins or sweet
dried trnit of any kind. DO not have
your pail full, rs it needs son,o room
to rise. Put the cover on tightly, set
it in boiling water. and do not allow
it to stop boiling till done. II you
try that once you will never make u
baked pudding again:
A Bee SrlSa.-Thc sting Of 4 beo
is naturally more violent than y
wasp's, AMI with some persons is at
tended with fatal effects. Two deaths
from such u cause has occurred. Thu
sting of bee is barbed at tie end
like a fish hook, and consequently is
always left in the wound; that If q
wasp ia pointed, so that it can sting
more than onee. hnt q bee cannot.
When a person is stung Ivy a bee let
the sting be instantly pulled ont, for
the longer it remains in the flesh til"
deeper it will pierce, and tho more
poisonous it will become. Tho sting
is hollow, and the poison flows
through it, whicl, is tho cause Of tho
pain and inflammation. The extract
ing Of the sting requires u steady
l,sml, for if it breaks in tho wound
the .psin, yiy continue fra long time.
when the stiQs il estHeed. suck tho
punctnrc, aud thus prevent intlamma-
ton. Spirits Of hartsho,n, if applied
to the affected part, will more fully
complete the cure. The poison il
| acid, and the a'kali will ncutra!lze it.
If the hartshorn is not at hand, sala-
ratus can bc wet and laid on tho
place Z; and soit.soap will often case
the acute pain.
On some people the sting Of wasps
| and bees have little effect, but it
greatly depends upon the state Of tho
blood whether it will prove injurious,
! and these simple remedies, il applied
at once, will soon effect = cure.
