Remedy for Insect Bites.

When n mosquito, flea, gnat, or other
noxious insect, punctures the human
skin, it deposits or injects an atom of an
acidulous fluid of poisonous nature.
The results are irritation, Il sensation of
tickling, itching, or of pain. The tick
ling of flies we are comparatively in
different about; but the itch produced
by flea, or gnat, or other noisome in
sect, disturbs our serenity, and, like the
pain of wasp or bee sting, excites us
to remedy. The best remedies for the
sting of insects are those which will
instantly neutralize this acidulous poison
deposited in the skin. These are either
ammonia or borax. The alkaline re-
action of boraX is scarcely yet sufficient
ly appreciated. However, a time will
come when it's good qualities will be
known, and more universally valued
than ammonia, or, as it is commonly
termed, hartshorn." The solution
of boraX for insect bites is made thus:
Dissolve one ounce of boraX in one pint
of water that has been boiled and allow
ed to cool. Instead of plain water, distill-
ed rose water, is more pleasant. The
bites are to be dabbed with the solution
so long as there is any irritation. For
bees or wasps' stings, the borax solution
may be made of twice the above strength.
In every farmhouse this solution should
be kept as a household remedy.-S.

A Hint to Butter-Mak

1t has been found that the quicker
milk is cooled after milking, and while
yet quite warm, the faster the cream
will rise, and for the reason that, water
being better conductor for heat than
oil and expanding faster and more in
proportion to the amount of caloric re-
ceived, and shrinking in the same dis
proportion, it thus follows that the
lower we cool to certain point and
the more dense we have the water, the
butter -globules remaining nearly to the
same density as at first, the sooner they
will rise to the surface. For instance,
we will take any amount of milk as
soon as milked, and cooling it immedia-
tely down to 35 turn it into glass vessels
Is or 20 inches deep, and we will see by
the results that the cream will all rise
in from three to four hours; and,
further, the quantity of cream thrown
up will be more than can be obtained by
any other method which have tried.
And, again, butter made from milk that
is thoroughly cooled Immediately after
milking is of far superior flavor to butter
made in the ordinary way.

TO Destroy Cucumber Bugs.

The aWatertown Refornaer has the
following timely advice in regard to
ridding the garden of the bugs, etc.
"To destroy bugs on squash and Gu
cumber vines dissolve teaspoonful of
saltpetre in a pailful of water; put one
pint of this around each hill, shaping
the earth so it will not spread much and
the thing is done. Use more saltpetre if
you can afford tit is good for vegeta-
BILE but death for animal life. The bugs
burrow in the earth in the night and
fail to rise in the morning. 1t is also
good to kill the" grub' in peach trees
only use twice as much, say quart to
each tree. There was not yellow or
blistered leaf on twelve or fifteen trees
to which it was applied last season. No
danger of killing any vegetable with it
"a concentrated solution applied to
beans makes them grow wonderfully" 2"

To Drive off Red Ants.

Grease plate with lard and set it
where the ants are troublesome; place
few sticks around the plate for the
ants to climb upon; they will desert
the sugar bowl for the lard occasional
ly turn plate over fire where there is
no smoke, and the ants will drop off
into it; reset the plate, and in a few
repetitions you will catch all the ants,
they trouble nothing else when lard is
accessible.

only desk room in an Office in Boston. He
afterward took partner. First the service
was extended to Washington, then between
Hartford and Springfield, and afterward
throughout Connecticut. Later, agencies were
established in all large stations in South Car
olina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Lou

were included in the system, and by 1850 the
business had become so important that Ad-

Ex.TREAsURER WATSON.

Reports have been rife for several days
past that John L. Watson, former treasurer
of this county, has absconded for the pur-
pose of evading arrest on a warrant charg.
ing him with misappropriating public funds
of the county. Such warrant has been is.
sued and placed in the hands of the sheriff
for execution but when his deputy reached
Rock Hill-near which place Mr.. Watson
resides-for the purpose Of serving the war
rant, it was learned that Mr. Watson had, q
few hours previously, departed from Rock
Hill by rail. His friends claim that he did
not leave his home on account of any charges
that have been or may be brought against
him but that bis present trip was planned
several weeks ago-he having determined to
place his daughter in school in Ohio, and
in order to have her there at the beginning of
the session, it was necessary to start at the
time he did. 1t is also claimed that he spoke
of this trip as far bac * as month ago, and
endeavored to secure the services of friend
to relieve him from making the trip. We
give these statements in connection with
the affair for what they are worth. A few
DAYS at farthest will determine the truth
..Uo-~ -
luded to charges him with breach of trust in
the school fund of Catawba township to the
amount of 500.

Mrs. Huffman vs. F. H. Barber, to recover
$3.50 which she surrendered to him on bis de.

had given her the above amount in gold coin.
The coin was claimed as part of the estate,
