This cure for cancer was published In

How TO PREPARE MACARoNI.-
When you once eat of marcaroni as it is
prepared in Italy, Olive Harper writes,
you find it like the Turkish coffee, some
thing the soul delights in. Why don't
we have macaroni cooked in the same
way? We have an insensate way of
tumbling handful into basin of soup,
which comes out pasty stuff, good for
nothing. / took the pains to get an
authentic recipe for cooking macaroni,
and for all who wish most delicious,
easy and cheap dish, write it: Take
three pints of beef soup, clear, and put
one pound of macaroni in it boil fifteen
minutes, with little salt; then take up
the macaroni-which should have alb
sorbed nearly all the liquid-and put il
on a flat plato and sprinkle grated cheese
over it quickly, and pour over all plen,
tifully a sauce made of tomatoes, well
boiled, strained, and seasoned with salt
and pepper. Some people prefer only
the cheese on it, but prefer it with the
tomato as we'll. If anybody don't like
that when it is done, it is because he dom
know what is good.

Useful Information.

A VERY small quantity of oleic acid
dropped upon sample of gum copal, and
but gently warmed, will dissolve that
gum completely. 1t is also an excellent
reagent for distinguishing true amber
from its imitation in copal.
WHY are farmers SO liable to rheu-
matism2 Because they wear wet cloth
ing, heat and suddenly chill the body,
overeat after very hard work, and be-
cause they do not keep the skin in a
vigorous, clean and healthy condition.
If farmers would avoid suddenly cooling
the body after great exertion, if they
would be careful not to go with wet cloth
ing and wet feet, and if they would not
overeat when in an exhausted condition,
and battle daily, using much friction,
they would have less rheumatism. The
same rule applies to others than farmers.
The Turkish bath is the best remedy for
rheumatism.

Catarrh Is one of the most disagreeable, Of

Keep Still.

A panic in theater or any other
crowded building is 20 certain TO result
in loss of life that it is the duty of every
man and woman to decide beforehand
on the course which they would pursue
in the event of their being called upon TO
face the danger. In almost all such
cases the injury is done by wild rush
to the doors. 1t was so at Cincinnati
1t has been 80 in nine instances of the

and presence of mind in moment of
danger, to carry out this rule, but it will

EXPERIMENTS continue to be made in
France to test the efficiency of an engine
having no wheels, but provided instead
with what may be called legs. 1t does
not roll; it walks, runs or gallops. 1t is
like an ordinary engine, with straight
rods terminating in broad circular skates.
There are three legs in front and three
behind. The moving cylinders, instead
of turning wheels, raise the feet. The in
vention, it is claimed, is particularly
adapted for carrying weights up an in
cline, as convenient substitute for the
means now employed. One of these,
which is at present at work ON French
railway, weighs ten tons, and goes four
to five miles every hour, but can accom-
'plish, If desired, eleven or twelve miles.

Household Helps

Mrs. M. A. ", gives in the Country
Gentleman, this process for curing cancer !:
A sticking plaster is put over the cancer,
with circular piece cut out of the CEN
ter little larger than the cancer, and a
small circular rim of healthy skin next
to it is exposed. Then a plaster made
of chloride of zinc, blood root and wheat
flour, is spread on piece of muslin of
the size of the circular opening, and is
applied to the cancer for twenty-four
hours. On removing it the cancer will
be found as though burned into, appear
ing of the color and hardness Of an old
shoe, and the circular rim outside of 1t
will appear white and parboiled as If
scalded by hot steam. The wound Is
now dressed, and the outside rim soon sup
purates, and the cancer comes out hard
lump, and the place heals up.
The plaster kills the cancer, 10 that IL
sloughs out like dead flesh, and never
grows again. The application is pain
full, but the pain is Of comparatively brief

MARYLAND.DAY.

New York has had its special visit
ing day at the Centennial Exhibition,
when the number of visitors amount
ed to 5000. THURSDAY week was
Pennsylvania day and the number OF
paying visitors were up to 227, 1856
Next comes Maryland's day, which is
fixed for the 10Th Of this month, next
Thursday, 1t is expected that Mary
land will be joined on this occasion
by the District Of Columbia, Virginia
and West Virginia. Arrangements
are made to give special attraction 10
the day. An exciting and brilliant
feature will be the Centennial Knights
Tournament. Fifteen knights repre-
senting the Union, the Centennial and
the old Thirteen States, are to partic-
ipate in the tournament. A queen of
love and beauty, with four maids OF
honor, representing the North, South,
East and West, will be the incentives
TO chivalrous Conduct on the part OF
the equestrian competitors for the
honors. Valuable prizes will also be
offered to other knights who may en-
ter the arena. The ceremony Of
browning the victor by the Queen Of
Love and Beauty will take place in
the Judges Hall. Hon S. Taylor STINT,
OF Nd, has been elected Chief Mar
shall. Gov. Carroll and Mayor La
trobe, Of Baltimore, will hold public
receptions in the Maryland State
building. All Marylanders are speci.
ally invited to be present on the 18th
and railroad fares are expected to be
considerably reduced.

Surprise Party at Hand

Boss Tweed has a very unlucky
surprise in store for hi n when be
lands again on our shores. +. A.
Woodward, we'll known as one Of his
companions in the New York thlev,
ing ope rations has been arrested IN
Chicago and is also on his way to that
city. 1t is singular coincidence that
Woodward, who was formerly clerk Of
the New York Board of Supervisors
and one Of the chief operators in the
ring frauds, which disgraced that
city, should fall into the hands OF the
police while Tweed, the chief Of the
robbers, is on his way home to answer
for his crimes. Woodward may be
encouraged by the tender treatment
and good luck Of the other members
of the ring who have been the guests
of the Sheriff Of New York, or he may
have concluded to turn States evil
dence as the best way Of getting out
Of the scrape. 1t is not likely they
will be overcome with JOY at seeing
each other again.

Revival of Business.

Activity in grain, with an advance
in the price Of wheat at Chicago, is
noted in the Western market reports.
At the same time the latest English
journals begin to take a much more
serious view of the Eastern compli'
cations. War is certainly considered
more imminent, ana with war in
Europe there will be necessarily in
creased demand for our surplus bread
stuffs, which will stimulate the carry
ing trade by both land and water, to
the profit of the railroads and the de-
pressed shipping interest.
The effort to increase the export of
American manufactures lie being
crowned with considerable degree Of
success. The cotton crop is one Of the
largest ever known, and the demand
for raw cotton promises to be active.
The yield Of most Of the agricultural
staples Of the north is unusually album
dant; and as the South and southwest
are in more prosperous condition
than they have been for years. they
are becoming good customers
for Northern manufactures. Alto
gether the evidences Of general
revival OF business continue to multi.
ply rapidly. Many Of the wholesale
houses of the country are making
larger sales than they made during
any previous corresponding period.

The Baltimore Gazette Of last Sat.
urday says: A. J. Houck is a well-to
do farmer Of Hamstead, Carroll conn-
ty, Nd. He frequently visits the
Monumental City, but up to yester-
day appears not to have gained much
experience from his visits. Yesterday
while on a train Of the Western Ma
ryland railroad, which he entered at
Reisterstown, he formed the acqualnt-
ance of Patrick Noonan. who told
him he was engaged in selling a pat:
ent box for placing butter in, and
showed him sample he had with
him. 1t was a curious little box,
about three inches long, by hal: that
width, and had two lids. which
worked on a screw in ore end. The
upper lid opened readily, but the low
er end had an oblong slot cut in it,
and it was necessary to push it longl-
tudlnaly before it would open. 10
try to open it as the upper lid been
opened was impossible. and Mr.. Moo
nan socially let Mr.. Houck into the
secret, but tailed to explain what adj
vantages the box had as receptacle
for butter. On arrival in the city
Mr.. Houck and lis newly. made friend
adjourned to saloon on Hillen sire ct,
when they were approached oy &
stranger(?) f. Frantz by name, who
requested Mr.. Noonan to favor him
with chew of tobacco. Mr.. Noonan
consented on cosideration of his TAX
ing it from the little box referred to.
Mr.. Houck laughed as the stranger
inetfectively endeavored to open the
lower lid as he had the upper, when
the latter, apparently losing his tenn
per said, I'll bet you twenty dollars
you can't open it while count ten.
The bet was quickly taken by Mr..
Houck, and the money put in Mr.. Moo.
nan hands. TO Mr.. Houck surprise
he was unable to slide the second lid
along as he had done before. and his
finger nails were we'll worn when the
last number fell from the stranger
lips. In fact had the stranger count
ed up to one hundred he would have
been in the same predicament, as un.
seen by him his friend Noonan had
frightened the screw in the end Of the
little box, and until that was loos'
oned the second lid could not be O.
pend. Justice Graft held Noonan and
Frantz for a hearing Monday after
noon, and Mr.. Houck returned home
a sadder, but wiser man.

ELECTION RETURNS.

AS we go to press to-day it is i'm
possible to gain from the daily papers
anything definite in regard to the ell
ections held Yesterday, Tuesday, in
Oaio, Indiana, and West Virginia.
West Virginia has certainly gone
democratic, which it always does, but
with less majoritios than previous
years. Ohio and Indiana are claimed
by both parties, but as the returns so
far are so meagre and unsatisfactory,
it is impossible to gain any information
from them. Below we give short
editorial taken from the New York
Herald which will throw little light
on the subject at this early date:
New YORK, Oct. 1.-THE Her
aids special from Cincinnati says
Alexander Sands, chief editor of the
Times (rep.), says he fears Barnes has
dropped fully 5000 behind his ticket,
which would give the state to Bell the
democratic nominee. J. A. McMa
hon, democratic candidate for Con-
gress in the Fourth District Of Ohio,
telegraphs to the Tribune that his
election is conceded by about 5000
majority. The Herald says, EDITOR.
ally: Tho returns thus far received
indicate that Ohio has been carried by
the republicans, with a moderate in
crease over their ajority Of last year,
and that Indiana has gone democrat
ic by majority somewhat less than
that Of 1874, the date of the last cleo
ton. There has been no very marked
political change in either state. There
is nothing in the returns to encourage
either party to hope that it will walk
over the course in the direct contest
for the presidency"
