PRksCRIprON FOR DRUNKENNESS
There is curious prescription in Eng.
land for the cure of drunkenness, by
which thousands are said to have been
assisted in recovering themselves. The
recipe came into notoriety through the
efforts of the father of Rev. Newman Hall
and Capt. Vine Hall, commander of the
Great Eastern. He had fallen into such
a habit of habitual drunkenness that his
utmost efforts to regain himself proved
unavailing. At length he sought the ad-
vice of an eminent physician, who gave
him prescription which he followed
faithfully for several months, and at the
end of that time he had lost all desire for
liquors, although he had for many years
been led captive by most debasing ap-
petite. The recipe, which he afterward
published, and by which so many have
been assisted to reform, is as follows:
Sulphate of iron, five grains magncsia,
ten grains; peppermint water, eleven
grains; shirt of nutmeg, one drachm to
be taken twice day. This preparation
acts as tonic and stimulant, and so
partly supplies the place of the accus-
toned liquor, and prevents that abso-
lutte physical and moral prostration that
follows sudden breaking off from the
Use of stimulating drinks.

How to Manage Cows in Fly Time.

The following interesting article is
from Isaac Relf in the Tituisville Pa.
| Herald:
About the Goth of July, when the hot
test days prevailed, and the flies in the
height Of their glory, drove every animal
with their needle guns, had trouble to
get my COW to stand their piercing weap-
ons while l MIXED, and ! became salts
fed, by smashing few flies on her and
looking at my hand streaked with blood
they had taken from her, tha. the cow
was not to blame for moving and
switching them of, and instead of whip
ping and chasing and fighting my COW,
as 1 beheld my neighbors do, took her
into my stable where it was too dark for
the flies to follow and all was quiet and
gentle. On turning her out to pasture,
she soon returned with q swarm of her
enemies, and tried to get into the stable
so opened the door and she started for
the stall. 1 let her stay in half a day,
and turned her out again for water and
feed, but she could not bear the flies and
returned.
have since that time MIXED at six
o'clock a. m., and let my COW stay in the
stable through the day, until sundown,
and then turn her out to pasture, which
is good, and she easily eats sufficient to
last the next day, after milking, and is
always at the stable ready to go in by
that time. l have offered her water sew
eral times, but she refused. 1 don't feed
her anything but keep the stable as
dark as l think will keep out the flies.
She stays there quietly, improves in
flesh and increases in the quantity and
quality of the milk, which is now only
kept at common natural animal heat,
without fighting flies and running to get
away from them. The milk and COW
were at fever heat all day, which, in my
opinion, injures the milk, and perhaps
makes it unhealthy 20 use.
For the short time / have tested stab
ling through the day 1 am satisfied it
would pay largely for the little trouble
in dairies; and the pastures yield much
more feed en- account of the cattle not
tramping and cutting the grass off with
their feet in travelling and fighting flies.

PUBLIC REPORT
POLICEMAN.

have not enjoyed good health for several years
past, yet have not allowed it to interfere with my
labor. Every one belonging to the laboring class
knows the Inconvenience of being obliged to
labor when the body, from debility, almost re-
fuses TO perform its daily task. 1 never was a
believer in dosing with medicines; but having
heard the Vegetine spoken of so highly, was de-
termined to try it, and shall never regret that de
termination. As tonic (Which every one needs
some time) it surpasses anything ever heard of.
1t invigorates the whole system; it is a great
cleanser and purifier of the blood. There are
many of my acquaintance who have taken it, and
all unite in praise of its satisfactory effect
Especially among the aged class of people, it
imparts to them the one thing most needful i'm old
age-nights of calm, sweet repose, thereby
strengthening the mind as well As the body. One
aged lady, who has been suffering through life
with scroflla, and has become blind from its
effects, having tried many remedies with no IA
vorable result, was induced by friends to try the
Vegetine. After taking a few bottles, she obtain
ed such great relief that she expressed wish for
her sight, that she might be able to look upon the
man who had sent her such blessing Yours

THE HOG CRoP-The hog crop, nc
cording to the department reports, will
be something far above the ordinary this
year. The following is the census OF
hogs in the principal pork packing states
up to Jan. l, 1875. These figures repre-,
sent the number of hogs alive at the
time of the reports: Indiana, 2,670, 900
Illinois S,03i, 600; Wisconsin. 5s7 5000
Iowa, 3.39S, 2o9; Missouri, 2,6S2, 600
Kentucky, 1,7O6, 500 Ohio 1,73i.90O. A
person of a contemplative turn Of mind
and a capacity for figures, can find re-
Taxation in looking over this wilderness
of hogs. stretched out in single AIRY you
would have a line of hogs reaching over
10000 miles. There is nearly one hog
for every three persons in the United
States included in the above figures,
while the actual census of hogs in all the
states foots up nearly twenty million.

MOTHs IN CARPErs.-A sure method
to remove the pests is to pour strong
alum water on the floor to the distance
of half a yard around the edges before
laying the carpets. Then once or twice
during the season sprinkle dry salt over
the carpet before sweeping. Insects do
not like salt, and sufficient adheres to
the carpet to prevent their lighting on
it.

The fly season, an exchange cheerfully
remarks, is near at hand and it will cost
three onions to try the experiment of
keeping your picture frames, looking
glass frames, ETC., from being SCARED over
by flies. The recipe is three onions
boiled in water. Paint your frames over
with this liquid, and the originator says
the flies will never touch them. Wheth-
er the size of the onions must be deter
mined by the size of the frames or the
size of the fly, the author Of the receipt
has not divulged.

A Valuable Recipe.

The Journal Of Chemistry publishes a
recipe for the destruction of insects,
which, if it be one-half as ctiicacious as it
is claimed to be, will prove invaluable !:
Hot alum water is a recent suggestion
as an insecticidc. 1t will destroy red
and black ants, cockroaches, chinch
bugs, and all the crawling pests which
infest our houses. Take two pounds of
alum and dissolve it in three or four
quarts of boiling water; let it stand on
the fire till the alum disappeares then
apply it with brush, while nearly boil
ing hot, to every joint and crevices in
your closets, bedsteads. pantry shelves
and the like. Brush the creyices in the
floor of the skirting, or mop boards, if
you expect that they harbor vermin.
If in whitewashing ceiling, plenty
OF alum is added to the lime, it will
also serve to keep insects at a distance.
Cockroaches will flee the place which
has been washed in cool alum water.
Sugar barrels and boxes can be freed
from ants by drawing chalk mark
just around the edge of the top of them.
The mark must be unbroken, or they
will creep over it; but continuous
chalk mark half an inch in width will
set theis depredations at nought. Pow
dered alum or borax will keep the chinch
bugs at respectable distance, and travel
ers should always carry package in
their hand bags, TO scatter over and un-
der their pillows in places where they
have reason to suspect the presence of
such bedfellOws.

Partisan Marriages .

There are always a great many mar

alton is sufficient remedy fer marriage.
Some desire divorce so as to marry again;
but most people say that one marriage is
plenty. We have Prince in Paris
who repaired his fortune by marrying
with bank, and who was recently on the
point of sending his wife back to his

by sending him, as a first warning, a
telegraphic dispatch containing this SEN

and aloes. How comes it that the wo-
man wastes the honey till nothing re-
mains on her lips and those of her hus-
band but the bitterness of the aloes?'
