ing little anecdote told by the Wash
ington correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Gazette IN connection with the ST.
Louis whisky frauds:
The impudence Of these dishonest
officials would be very amusing were 1t
not so grave a matter. Mcdonald
called on Treasury oficialwho visited
St. Louis IN May in connection with
the whisky investigation, and advised
him TO arrange a compromise fOra good
round sum. He said that they Joyce
and Mcdonald and the Treasury De-
partment Icould take hold Of politics
and run things to suit themselves. The
Gistillers, he said, would be generous
with their money, and the inference
from his conversation was that Il SecTc-
tary Bristow would not press them too
hard they would manage things IN his
political interest. OF course, these
propositions were not listened to for a
moment, but they show the den,h Of tie
corruption that has prevailed. Nc
Donald seemed TO think that he was
fully justified IN what he had done by
the fact that he and his friends had
defeated the reelection. Of Senator

FRECKLES - THEIR CURE -
What shall a young man and 9th
erwise handsome ladies do to get
lid of freckles on the skin? Answer
--Freckles are not easily washed
out of those who have a forid
complexion and are much in the
sunshine, but the following wash
es are not only harmless, but very
much the best of any we know:
Crate horse sadish fine, let it stand
a few hours il buttermilk, then
strain and use the wash night and
morning. Or squeeze the Juice
of a lemon into half a goblet of
water and use the same way
Most of the remedies for freckles
are poisonous and cannot be used
with safety. Freckles indicate a
defective digestion, and consists
la deposits of some carbonaceous
or fatty matter beneath the scurf
skin. The diet should be attend
ed to, and should be of nature
that the bowels and kidneys will
do their duty Daily bathing
with much friction should not be
neglected, and the Turkish bath
taken occasionally, if it is conven-
ient.-Herald Of Health.

Salt.

a Maine farmer puts on six
bushels of salt to the acre, and
narrowed it in before sowing
grain and grass seed. He says:
That Is the secret why | get SO
much hay. | have used salt ma
ny years on corn, putting it on
the bill before hoeing, as we do
ashes. Upon one piec. put ashes
on one-tbird, on one-third plaster
and Oh the other third salt, and
the sailed portion was decidedly
the best. broke up two thirds
oil an acre of poor land, and, not
having any common stable ma
nure to put on it, | sowed, after
narrowing over once, eight bushels
of salt, and planted potatoes and
peas. They came up as strong
and grew as rank as they would
have done had there been an ex
ira coat of dressing plowed in
That seems to sound as if there
was some decided benefit from the
application Of salt.

Removing Fly Specks.

This is the way an uneXcep-

siderable experience rubbing

Brine that will Preserve
Butter a Year.

Among the many devices for
keeping butter in manner that
will preserve the fresh rosy fla
vor of the new, with all its
sweetness, is the following from
the Duchess Farmer, which is
said to be entirely successful
$40 three gallons of brine, strong
enough to bear an egg, add a
quarter Of a pound Of nice
white sugar, and one tablespoon
full of salt peter. Boil the brine,
and when it is cold, strain care
fully. Make your butter into
rolls, and wrap each separately
in a clean white muslin cloth,
tying up with a string. Pack a
large jar full, weight the butter
down, and pour over the brine
until all is submerged. This
will keep really good butter per-
fectly sweet and fresh for a
whole year. Be careful to not
put upon ice butter that you
wish to keep any length Of time.
In summer, when the heat will
not admit of butter being made
into rolls, pack closely in small
jars, and, using the same brine,
allow it to cover the butter to
the depth of at least four inch
es. This excludes the air and
answers very nearly as well as
the first method suggested"

1t is very gratifying to find that there
are few newspapers in the south which
have not lost their heads with the imitation
mania. The Memphis Avalanche, an indie
pendent journal, is right on the currency
question. as indeed it is on almost all others
The New Orleans Times, the leading Demo
cratic journal Of Louisiana, is equally sound.
1t says the belief which the north enter
tanned that the south is in favor of initiation
is "a most extraordinary and unprovoked
humbug." and adds:
The south has given no manifestation
of such a sentiment; and for the best
reason. She has passed through the whole
course of the financial disease-the pleth
ora, the fever, the exhaustion, the pros
tration-and is now weak and emaciated,
but convalescent. She feels already the
steady, normal pulsations of returning
health, and does not long for relapse tc
fever and chill and delirium. She has only
now to exercise ordinary prudence to regain
lusty health. We think this feeling is
widespread, and represents the intelligent
sentiment of the south Our people know
very we'll that there is no want of currency
to meet the demands of trade since the
banks are full of it, lying idle. What We
want is more trade to give employment
to currency, and our people:do not look tc
inflated prices and unhealthy SPECULATION
as the proper means to develop trade. II

Opening Car Windows,

You are sitting in the first stages of a
cold, or your wife at your side has little
fever, and the car is warm and undeniably
close. Suddenly some person of either sex
remarks audib!y, what everybody perceives
and deplores, that the air is close. He or
she adds that such an atmosphere is I'm
wholesome, that it is positively poisonous,
that the Car is black hole, and that we
are all suffocating; and thereupon, the
train flying at thirty miles an hour, on
bitter night or day, up goes the window,
and the blast drives full upon you and
Madame, heated and i'll, and there is no
escape for you, all the seats being full, but
to go forward and stand The good man
or woman holds the ground insists that
the oxygen is exhausted, that we are all
breathing carbonic acid gas, and all the
books agree that apoplexy, paralysis, soft
eniug of the brain, with vast train of
occult maladies, begin under just such con-
ditions.
And so, Madame, to spare yourself the
chauce of some remote disease you expose
my wife to immediate pleurisy and pneu-
monia.
"Sir, you know nothing Of hygienic
laws"
Madame, you know nothing of common
sense"
1t is true that fresh air is desirable, but
will not these peripatetic philosophers learn
that icy blats or sudden chils may be
fatal? When one of the apostles of fresh
air opened car window under these cir.
cumstances, graybeard sitting bekinC
instantly arose and closed it again emphati
cally. And when the astounded lady
looking at him severely, said, in tone O.
exceeding wrath, Sir he answered
blandly, "a bird in the hand is worth two
in the bush" She looked scornful, bu
not in the least as if she understood it
meaning Il mean only, he said, tina
the one illness you are sure to give nj
may be more fatal than the two or twent.

that window. Madame, " he added solemn
ly. Il have been there before" But sh,
turned her back and, as she said after
ward, if there was less fresh air, there wer
fewer colds.
