in their objection, for their prayers had
been left unsaid for many q day, and
they felt no inclination to be thus sudden

defense, an AZ, with remarkable vigor,
and finally convinced the bears that the
victory is not always to the strong and
the hungry. The struggle was a fierce
one. and the heroes felt that they had
much reason for thankfulness when they
reached their cabin with only = few
scratches, and those not very severe.

REMEDY FOR FROZEN-FEET.

given it to several persons. and have
never known it to fail to cure. Two or
three applications arc generally sufficient.
To make it rub into simple cerate as
much of tho tincture of cantharides az it
will hold. Any druggist can prepare it
for you. A small box will cost about
fifteen cents. Cantharides is made from
Spanish flies; I think it is harmless
remedy. Rub little on the feet before
going to bed, after bathing them in warm
water. The best thing for frozen feet is
to make poultice of grated raw potato
and fish oil, and apply to the parts. It
never fails. An onion chopped fine and
applied as a poultice will give immediate
relief to frost.bittcn feet, and if persisted
in will effect cure.

SCaENCK's PULMoN1c SYRUP, SEA WEED ToN.
&c AND MANDRAKE PIL1s.-These deservedly
celebrated and popular medicines have effect
ed revolution in the healing art, and
proved the fallacy OF several maxiums which
have for many years INSTRUCTED the progress OF
medical science. The false superstition that
Consumption is incurable" deferred phys
leans from attempting to find remedies for
that disease, and patients afflicted with it
reconciled themselves to death without making
an effort to escape from q doom which they
supposed to be unavoidable. 1t is now proved,
however, that Consumption can be cured, and
that it has been cured in q very great numbe
of cases (some of them apparently desnerate
ones) by Schenck's Pulmt mic Syrup alone:
and in other cases by the same medicine in
connection with Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills, one or both, according to
the requirements of the case.
DR.. Schenck himself, who enjoyed unintei~
rupted good health for more than forty years,
was supposed, at one time to be at tue very
gate of death, his physicians having pro-
bounced his case hopeless, and abandoned
him to his fate. He was cured by the afole-
said medicines, and, since his recovery, many
thousands similarly affected have used d..
Schenck's preparations with the same remark
able success.
Full directions accompany each, making it
not absolutely necessary to personally see
DR.. Schenck unless patients wish their
lungs examined, and for this purpose he is
professionally at his principal Office, Corner
Sixth and Arch Sts., PhiIadel phia, every
Monday, where all letters for advice must be
addressed. Schenck's medicines are sold by
all druggists.

BREAD IN WINTER.

A lady writes an exchange: That is
one of the troubles that We women ex.
perience in the season Of winter, making
bread: l was telling lady yesterday
that if VIC could make as good bread, and
make it as easily in winter as in summer,
it would rob that gloomy season Of one
OF its annoyances. One hates to he tied
down to buckwheat cakes, corn cakes,
graham gems, biucuit, and all these kind
Of hot cakes that tax ones time so mer.
cilessly; mean the women don't like it,
but I'll warrant the men and boys think
it is real jolly, ha! ha!
The lady to whom referred said she
had that very morning called at neigh
boris where they were baking: and She
had learned something new that mil ht
profit me, as she was sure it would her
self. The pan of flour, with the yeast in
the middle Of it, was standing on three
warm bricks, on chair beside the stove,
we'll covered over with wooden blanket
kept for that purpose, covered all over,
top. bottom, and sides. Then when the
bread was nodded, and the l0aves were
put in pans, they were set upon the warm
bricks and covered up. This is very
good arrangement, provided the bricks
are merely warm. A large pan is prefer.
able to a wooden bowl or tray for many
reasons.
Another woman Of my acquaintance
who is troubled about keeping her yeast
and bread warm enough, while rising,
tells me she has hanging shelf over her
cook stove in the kitchen, which is an ex.
cellent arrangement and serves her pur.
pose admirably. II we could prepare the
yeast and make and bake the bread in q
room of even temperature, as they do at
bakeries, we would succeed as we'll in get.
ting good bread in the winter as in sum
mer. It is because the yeast chilIs or al.
most freezes, that fermentation is such a
tedious process.
I think it is good plan, on moder.
ately warm day in winter, for woman ia
do a very large baking-say a dozen
loaves, and then when they begin to grow
stale and dry steam loaf At time, and
make it as good as new. If you have no
steamer-which by the way is an indis.
pensable articlc-dip the stale loaf sud.
denly, two or three times. into pail Of
water and then lay it into the oven for
