SANFORD'S RADICAL CURE
Is Prepared by DiStilIatiOn.

Every plant and herb that yields its medicinal es-
sence to it, is placed in an improved still and there
mingled with a solvent liquid, which, by heat, is
made to pass into the receiver bearing with it
the healing essences or juices of these plants and
herbs free from every contamination, pure and COL
oress. Thus the active, medical constituents of
thousands of pounds of herbs may be condensed into
very small compass. In this way SANFoRD's RAD
IcAL CURE is Invested of the nauseating, worthless
features of all other remedies while its prop
critics are increased tenold. 1t is positively the
greatest medical triumph Of the age.
Each package contains Treatise on Catarrh and

POETRY.
A Sonnet.
By JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.

Through suffering and sorrow thou hast passed
To show us what woman true may be;
They have not taken sympathy from thee,
Nor made thee any other than thou vast;
Save as some tree which, in a sudden blast,
Sheddeth those blossoms that are weakly grown,
Upon the air. but keepeth every one
Whose strength gives warrant of good fruit at last
So thou hast shed some blooms of gayety,
But never one of steadfast cheerfulness;
Nor hath thy knowledge of adversely
Robbed thee of any faith in happiness,
But rather cleared thine inner eyes to see
How many simple ways there are to bless.

Mending Rubber Boots

The following simple receipt is from the
Christian Weekly:
"Cut virgin or native India-rubber with a
wet knife into the thinnest possible slices,
and with shears divide these into threads as
fine as fine yarn. Put small quantity of
the shreds (say one-tenth or less of the ca
pacity of the bottle) into wide-mouthed
bottle and fill it three-quarters full of benzine
of good quality, perfectly free from oil. The
rubber will swell up almost Immediately, and
in a few days, especially if often shaken, as
sumes the consistency of honey. If it inclines
to remain in undissolved masses more ben
zine must be added; but if too thin and wa
terry, it needs more rubber. A piece of sol
i'd rubber the size of walnut will make a
pint of the cement. This cement dries in a
lew minutes, and by using three coats in the
usual manner, will unite leather straps,
patch rubber soles, backs of boots, etc., with
exceeding firmness. The Indio-rubber, IN
vulcanized, can be obtained at most klarge
stores where rubber goods are sold, and at
some drug stores"

Oyster SOup.

Empty the oysters into colander, and
drain off all the liquor: then strain the liq-
nor through very coarse cloth, to rid it of
all scum, &c. To whole can of oysters,
take quart of milk. Put the milk, oyster
liquor, level tablespoonful of -four rubbed
very smooth with heaping tablespoonful of
butter, tablespoonful of salt, and half tea
spoonful of pepper, all on the fire together in
a farina boiler Tor put skillet one-third
filed with boiling water, under the sauce
pan, to prevent the milk burning). When it
comes to the boil, put in the oysters, and let
them stew for twenty minutes. or until the
gill Of the oyster turns and begins to rufie
and erimp at the edge. Serve Immediately;
for il they are cooked too long, they become
hard, dark and tasteless. If you put the salt
in last, it will not curdle the soup. Some add
a level teaspoonful of whole cloves, and the
same OF mace, tied up in a net bag, but do
not think them any improvement.

A Town Inundated.

Managua, tho capital of Nicaragua,
was inundated on the night of the third
and the morning of the fourth of Octo-
Der. On the third of October dark
clouds begun to gather over the doomed
oity, followed by furious wind, accom-
panied by deluge OF rain. Toward the
dawn of tho fourth the downpour begun
to abate, and there was some prospect
of its cessation; but at about eight A. NJ.
the rain recommended, without causing
much alarm ct first; but suddenly, from
the direction of the Sierras, dull, rum
bling sound was heard, approaching
every moment nearer, till at last an over
wheiming flood OF muddy waters, sweep
ing along in their headlong course great
trees and masses of rock, burst upon
the hapless city, penetrating into its
inmost recesses.
The people OF the city were at break
fast when the food burst in upon them,
rising almost instantaneou 'lyto height
of one or two yards in the houses. Don
FIorencio Arce, q comfortable merchant,
tried to save his daughter, who was i'll.
He ran to the yard, but stuck fast in the
mud; q wall fell and killed him on the
spot, breaking both the legs of his
daughter, who was rescued with great
difficulty, but she died. The wife of
Don Jesus Trinidad, another well-to-do
merchant, trusted her life to rope that
had been tied across the street. But the
rcpe gave way, and she was swept off by
the flood, drowned before the eyes of
her own husband and sons, who were
helpless to save her.
On the morning Of the fifth of October
the food had subsidized, and the streets
OF Managua were once more, though not
without some danger, passable. The
victims are six men and women, and five
or six children in the city, and seven big
and little of both sexes in the Sierras.

Presidential Contests.

Five Presidential elections in which
the vote of some one State might have
changed the result occurred IN the
United States out of the twenty-five
from 1889 to 1872. In 1876, when the
State Legislatures chose tie electors,
Adams had only majority Of two over
Jefferson, the vote being seventy one to
sixty.nine. In 1872 President Madison
was chosen over De Witt Clinton by 1913
to eiehty-nine. In this contest the vote
of either Pennsylvania (twenty-three)
or Virginia (twenty-three) would have
made De Witt Clinton President. In
1924 the full electoral vote of New York
(thirty-four) would have given Andrew
Jackson a majority Of all the votes cast.
AS it was hs received only one vote
from New York State, and the election
devolved upon the House OF Represen-
tatives.
The contest in 1874 was exceedingly
close. Polk received Ito votes Clay,
los. The loss of New York (thirty.four
yotes) was fatal to Henry Clay. Polk's
plurality in the State wes only 5, 106-so
that chanBe VI A,oC1 vo'eo "ou'o n",o
secured the election of Henry Clay. At
the sixteenth Presidential election
(l84s). the vote of New York (thirty-
four) or Pennsylvania (twenty-four)
would have given Cass a majority over
TAYLOR. Buchanan won in 1856 by fifty
two votes. Without the aid of Pennsyl-
yania be would have had only 14S votes
the exact number necessary to
choice. Had Pennsylvania gone Re-
publican in October, his defeat was
inevitable. Lincoln received, in 1850,
1870 votes, against 1923 for his opponents.
Notwithstanding his great plurality, ne
needed the vote of New York 10 give
him a majority of all the votes cast.
Henceforth small as well as large States
may deem themselves of great account.
