Lemonade for Scarlet Fever.-An
eminent physician of a Western city
says he has cured ninety-nine out of
every hundred cases of scarlet fever
by giving the patient warm lemonade
with gum arabic dissolved in it. A
cloth wrung out i'm hot water and laid
upon the stomach should be removed
as rapidly as it becomes cool.
Remedy for Eearache.-There is
scarcely any ache to which children
are subject, so bad to bear and diff
cult to cure, as the earache. But there
is a remedy, never known to fail.
Take a bit of cotton batting, put upon
it pinch of black pepper, gather it up
and tie it, dip in sweet oil, and insert
into the ear. Put a flannel bandage
over the head to keep it warm. It will
give immediate relief.

Antidote for Rattlesnake Bite.

A writer in the St. Augustine FLA. J
Press says that post-office agent
travelling in Texas, tells of the sue
cessful use of the gall of a rattlesnake
as an antidote for the bite of that rep
tile. In the case spoken of relief
was almost instantaneous to the pa
tient, who was writhing in paroxysms
of great pain, rapidly swelling and be.
coming purple. A friend of the
writer, who had spent several years in
California and New Mexico, saw the
same remedy successfully used among
the Indians in the latter country. In
one instance an Indians dog near the
camp was bitten in the nose by a large
rattlesnake. The Indians Immediately
opened the reptile and administered
the gall. The cure was rapid and eff.
fectual.
At a recent lecture before the Kings.
cote Farmers Club, reported in a. .Bris.
toll paper, Professor Mcbride is stated
to have given the following method of
dosing pig: To dose pig which you
are sure to choke if you attempt to ad.
minister drink to him, while squeal.
ing, halter him as you would for exc.
cution, and tie the rope end to stake.
He will, as we all know, pull back un.
til the cable is tightly strained. When
he has ceased his uproar, and begging
to reflect, approach and between the
back part of his jaws insert an old
shoe from which you have cut the toe
leather. This he will at once begin,
from whatever cause, to suck and chew
Through it pour your medicine, and
he will swallow any quantity you
please. -.

teous in manner, Mr.. Stewart wasted
no words, and anything like bore was
summarily dismissed. And i'm no 9TH
er way could he have got through
with the immense number of calls
that were daily made upon him.
Mr.. Stewart was in the true sense a
philanthropist. At the time of the
great famine in Ireland he sent to his
suffering countrymen a ship load of
provisions, and with the American
flag floating at the foremost she en-
tered the harbor of Belfast. It was
one of the Americas contributions to
Ireland, and was so intended by the
giver. But the enterprise was not yet
complete. The agent at Belfast was
directed to advertise for young men
and women who desired to go to Amer
lea, and free passage was given to as
many as the vessel could carry, the on
ly requirement being that the appli-
cant should be of good moral character
and able to read and write. A circu-
lar was issued by Mr.. Stewart himself,
and sent to his numerous friends, stat
ing the fact that he expected a large
number of young persons, and asking
employment for them. When the yes
sci reached the harbor of New York,
places had been found for almost every
one of the new emigrants. just after
the Franco russian war he sent the
bark Hunter, containing 1872 barrels
of flour as q gift to the suffering French
people. His gift Of $50, 600 to Chicago
and his subsequent gift of another$5O, !.
600 are fresh in everybody's memory.

FIRE IN THE MOUNTAINS Saturday after
noon wood pile containing 100 cords of wood,
situated near New Zealand station, on the White
Mountain branch of the Boston, Concord g.

and in half hour the pile was in flames The
bushwood also caught, and with strong wind
prevailing the flames spread rapidly. A large

MAN AND WIFE.-Saturday evening a gentle
man of this city who was coming up State
street, met a young girl, very pretty and very
frightened, who asked of him the way to the
Boston railroad stations. He gave the inform
alton, but she seemed unable to understand his
directions and begged that he would accom-.
pany her. He reluctantly consented. AS the
two were nearing the station they met two
young men. One Of them, who appeared to
be drunk, pulled a revolver from his pocket
and ordered the girl to go home. She objected
at first, saying that the people at the house
would keep her no longer, but finally went up
the street closely followed by the man with the
revolver.
The drunkard's companion attempted to ex-
plain the situation to the young wonan's es-
cort, saying that.the drunkard and girl were
man and wife, that they had been married but
month, that he ill-treated her and neglected
to pay her board, and that she thereupon deter
mined to return to her kinsfolks in the West.
She was putting this intention into execution
when the brute met her. and took the occasion
to display his brutality and his nGwledge of
the common law. 1t is pity he was not shot
with his own revolver. The girl is but sixteen
years old.
