To CLEAN FEATHERs.-White ostrich
feathers may be thoroughly cleaned by
taking four ounces of white soap, cut
small, and dissolved in four pints of
rather hot water. Convert the solution
into a lather and introduce the feathers.
Rub with the hand for about five min
utes. After this wash in clear water as
hot as the hand can bear. Shake until
dry.

CHICKEN PoT-PK.-Cut up and par
boil a pair of large fowls, seasoning
them with pepper, salt, and nutmeg.
You may add some small slices of cold
ham; in which case use no salt, as the
ham will make it salt enough. Or you
may put in some pieces of the lean of
fresh pork. You may prepare a suet
paste; but for a chicken pOt-pie it is
best to make the paste of butter, which
should be fresh, and of the best quality.
Allow to each quart of flour a small
h%alf-pound of butter. There should be
enough for a great deal of paste. Line
the sides of the pot, two. thirds up, with
paste. Put in the chickens, with the
liquor in which they were p~arboiled.
You may add sOme sliced potatoes.
I~ntersperse the pieces of chicken with
layers Of paste in square slices. Then
cover the whole with a lid of paste, not
fitting very closely. Make a cross-slit
in the top, and boil the pie about an
hour or more.

CURE OF CANCER,

This is aterrible disease and is more
dreadful, because medical skill seems
80 entirely at sea in dealing with its
cure. We give below two recipes
given through an exchange, both as
ser ed to be infallible. Surely if such
simple remedies cure this disease
(Which is on the increase) the whole
world should know them. The first
lady said she was, threatened eighteen
years ago with a cancer. Resolufeiy
determined not to endure the use OF
the knife, and reading in a inedleal
journal that Tactic acid was beneficial
to persons of q caneeroas. diathesis,
she concluded to try an experiment.
We give her words:
g I ordered two quarts of butter
milk, per day for my, own especial
use. After drinking that anfount
daily for six weeks all traces Of can
Ger disappeared, and I had no more
symptoms of the disease until few
weeks ago, when the same old pains
returned in the same locality. I again
commenced the buttermilk treatment
and with the same result. The pain
has entirely disappeared. If butter
milk can take the place of dissecting
knife in this terrible disease, we
can weH afford to let the doctors sneer
at the simplicity of our cure
The other treatment is from gen
tleman who was placed in the Turkish
bath for two hours. each day, for seven
days, with . temperature at 10, when
it was found that the cancer was
loosening. "A poultice was then
applied, and in few days the ugly
protuberance dropped out, roots,
fangs, and all, leaving nothing but
the indention in the face where the
cancer had been. The cure was pro-
nounced complete.
Another writer gives an equally
simple remedy which cured a friend.
He was cured by the use of only four
pounds of Turkish figs. Two orr three
figs were stewed in milk each morning
and night. The milk he drained off
and drank; the figs were then mashed
into a thick paste and applied as a
poultice to the cancer. This simple
treatment, he afi1 ms, has cured sew
eral victims of this terrible disease to
whom he he has made known his own
experience.

A WARNING TO ADVERTISERS.

The insanity of DIR. j. c. Aver, Of
Lowell, affords terrible warning to
advertisers. Here was man engaged
in the manufacture Of pill, not diff
fering much from a hundred other
pills that may be obtained at anv
drug store In an unguarded mo-
ment he made up his mind that he
would advertise, not i'll the picayune
style of the ordinary dealer, but in a
comprehensive sort of way, by which
he could reach every possible purchas-
er of pills. He started with the idea
of devoting half of his profits each
year to advertising. The result might
have been foreseen. He accumulated
money so rapidly that he did not
know what to do with it. When he
had rolled together fifteen million dol
lars and had vainly endeavored to
find some outlet for his ever increas-
ed prohts, his mind gave away under
the absorbing cares of his vast busi-
ness, and he is now patient at an asy-
lum for the insane. How easily this
calamity might have been averted. If
he had stuck to the conservative
methods of many of our merchants
and refrained from advel tising, he
might have been passing quietly
through bankruptcy now instead of
millions. 1t is a dangerous expert
ment for man who does not want to
become rich to advertise. Or if he
advertises at all he must advertise
grudgingly and at long intervals, lest
his profits should grow out of all pro-
portion TO his requirements, and he
should find himsalf-a----- WIN

that no other event since the declaration OF war by

quiesces therein. Bismarck, who secs clearly through
the whole question is the only minister in Europe who
realizes what may he the consequences OF euch war;
