A Valuable Remedy,

Every family, writes o correspondent,
should keep small quantity of chlorate
of potash. We have never found any
thing equal to it for simple liberated
sore throat. Dissolve small teaspoon
full of it in tumbler of water; then oc-
casionally take teaspoonful Of the 50
luton, 50 as to garg'e the throat It's
nearly tasteless, and not at all offensive
to take, and is hence we'll adapted to
children. Nothing. is better than this
for chapped or cracked hands Wash
them in the weak solution, and they will
soon he well. 1t is also good for a
rough, primply or chapped face. It
may be had at any druggists. Com
mon salt has been recommended for the
incipient stages of the dreaded disease
diphtheria; but we have no doubt this
would be better. If some scheming
medicine man should, under "a high
sounding Greek or oriental name, intro
duce some ingredients to conceal its ma
ture, and expend hundred thousand
dollars in advertising. he might make as
great fortune out Of it, and possibly
as honestly, as some Of the great patent
medicine venders. '''@e'

and Chalmers read closely, and yet both

speak with notes. Gladstone, when
speaking, often gets one hand or both

manner equals in power the graceful

Perhaps, however, the best answer to
DR.. Poles assertions respecting the poll
icy adopted by the Indian Government
regarding their new lines is TO be found
in the everyday experience now being
gained with narrow,gauge railways. fi7
Everywhere almost We find such lines
spreading In the United States up
wards OF two thousand miles of such
lines have already been laia, while in
Canada, South America and our Aus
tralian colonies narrow gauge railways
have. taken deep root. Nearer home,
too, we find such lines constructed and
in course of construction, in France,
Germany, Italy, Russia, Norway and
Switzerland, and everywhere we hear
good accounts of the results obtained
from them
The fact is that with very few excep.
tions narrow gauge lines have one, great
source of attraction denied to many OF
their more pretenlious brethren. They
pay. 1t was at one time considered that
it would be impossible for narrow gauge
lines to provide the engine power nee
essary for carrying heavy loads or fol
working steep gradients. This, howey-
er, has now long been proved to be en-
tirely fallacy, the Fairlie system affor
