Turnips as a Cure for Hog Cholera.

Maj. John Million, a well-known citi-
zen of Laplata, Mo, has great faith in
turnips as a sure cure for the disease
known as hog cholera. So great is his
faith that he has filed claim with the
offered by the Legislature for a remedy
for that disease. Maj. Million was
Commissioner in the Confederate army.
While acting in that capacity he had
charge at one time of many thousand
head of hogs, which were collected to-
gether in Mississippi, when the cholera
broke out among them. Immediately
upon discovering the prevalence of the
disease he says he began to exert him.
self to save as many as possible. He
separated them as well as possible, keep
ing the infected ones apart. He had on
hand, also, large quantities of turnips,
which he began to feed the hogs. Very
soon he observed a marked improvement,
aAd then he made numerous expert
ments. He selected some of the diseased
hogs and penued them apart. They were
fed on turnips and nothing else, and all
of them recovered. He says his expert
ments demonstrated the fact that turnips
are not only cure but preventive of
cholera. He has impaired the secret to
many farmers in this State, all of whom
found the remedy sure. Maj Million
states that, unless the hog is too far gone
to eat, the turnips will cure him. The
remedy is a cheap one and easily pro-
cured, and it can certainly dc no harm
for farmers to give it trial.-HGnai6aI

She did not hear him, for she gave a
faint gasp and sank back insensible.
We three girls wero almost stunned;
but we saw the tall, thin, pale-looking
stranger hastily lift poor Kate from the
scat and literally run with her to the
house, while we followed more slowly.
AS we reached the porch it was to
meet papa running out, and in very
short time he returned with the doctor.
But this doctor was the wrong one; the
right one had come TO us at the garden
scat, and it was his words that brought
dear Cousin Kate back TO life, and In the
course OF few months to health.
For Frank Roberts was reinstated in
the Government Office from which he
fell in a higher post, one which gave
him the confidence of the higher officials;
while the man through whose treachery
poor Frank had suffered year and a
half before died confessing that he had
been the guilty party alone.
Obi those happy days when the roses
were coming back day by day into Cousin
Kate's check, and when Frank, who was
down ut the old place every Saturday to
stay till Monday, used to be sent to play
and romp with us girls. | can hardly

A Tartar Invasion.

A revival of the anti. Chinese agitation
is threatened by the increased activity
which is being displayed in the imperta-
tion of Mongolians, and already much
angry discussion is going on among the
working classes, while it is said that
many anti coolie societies are holding Sc
cret meetings for the purpose of devils.
ing measures to suppress the growing
evil in manner that endangers the peace
of the community. The subject has re-
ceived more pointed attention through
the arrival on Saturday by the City of
Peking from Hong Kong of a fresh sup.
ply of one thousand Chinese, making a
total of nearly four thousand of the race
landed at this port within month. One
of the recent consignmentsw was composed
of Tartars, a branch of the Mongolian
race which has not been largely imported
heretofore. They have prominent cheek
bones and darker complexion than
Chinese of Ayrian blood, who make up
nearly the whole of the Mongolian popu-
lation of this city. In China they have
the reputation of being the worst of
criminals, and furnish most of the pirate
crews that infest the Chinese waters.

this dangerous class of Asiatics, so far
as any information can be gained, has
not been above a few hundred, but now
that the Tartar element has begun to
flow In the inference is that new re
gion of China is being used to keep up
MOngOlian immigration. The Tartars
comprise the Turaman inhabitants of
Turkistan and the adjacent regions. In
Central Asia the word Turk is used as
synonymous with Tartar merely to indi-
cate Mongolians, and was applied to early
invaders of China from the upper Amoor
region. They were warlike and savage
race, and often descended upon the
peaceable Chinese and plundered their
villages. Their predatory characteristics
came to be SO closely associated with
their name as to lead to its eventual ap-
plicatlon to numerous other robber
hordes. Shamamism was the original
faith of the Mongols. This was sue
ceeded by Buddhism, which was aban-
doned for Lamaism about the end of the
sixteenth century. Sunni Mohamme-
danism is now professed by the Western
Tartars generally, both in Asia and Eu-
rope.-Sdn Francisco Post.

Under a Lions Paws.

Yesterday morning the superintend
ent of the menagerie connected with
Barnum's show engaged George Marvin,
fifteen years of age, to do errands and
odd jobs about the establishment. Mar
win is a bright-looking, muscular youth,
who says that his home has always been
at Newburgh, N. Y, but that both of
his parents being dead, and having no
relatives, he left Newburgh about a
month ago, since which time he has
trampcd 1t and stolen rides on railway
cars, until reaching Detroit he saw Bar
NUNS circus advertised, and concluded
to wait for its coming.
On the arrival of the show he got an
engagement, and yesterday forenoon, in
a leisure moment, he stood watching the
keepers as they fed the animals. The
monkeys, hyena, giraffe and tigers had
been cared for, and the three large lions
which occupy one cage were eating their
ra:ions when the keeper stepped away a
few feet to get some water, leaving the
cage door open and young Marvin stand
ing near the door. The boys curiosity
to the threshold.
Instantly one of the lions sprang at
him, putting one of his massive paws
fiat upon the boys face, and closing his
claws drew him forward into the cage.
In doing SO the beast tore the boys left
check, from the corner of his mouth
nearly to his ear, wide open. Then he
cuffed him with his cruel paws upon the
right side of the chin, tearing open the
flesh in frightful manner. All this time
the boy struggled and cried for help. AT the
appearance of the keeper the lion rolled
the boy upon his stomach, and with one
paw upon his back held him there helpless,
all the time showing his teeth and roar
ing at the keeper, who hesitated about
entering the van. 1t was only for an in
stant, however, for, armed with large
revolver and whip, the keeper jumped
into the cage, and striking the beast over
the nose caused him TO retreat, releasing
the boy. Young Marvin was not long
in getting out of the cage, and imme-
diately on his escape tainted entirely away
purely from fright The keeper fol-
lowed him, and closing the cage left the
lion to growl out his dissatisfaction at
being thwarted.
Besides the bad wounds on the boy s
face his right shoulder was frightfully
lacerated, five or six slight wounds were
on his right arm, while five large IN
cisions, regularly placed on the left side
of the boys back, plainly marked the
size of the lions paw as he held his VIC
tim.-Detron Tribune.

jar with rose petals pour upon them soft
water enough to cover them; set the jar
in the sun for two or three days, taking
it under cover at night; at end of the
third or fourth day there will be small
particles of oil on the surface of the
water, which in the course of week
will have increased to thin scum; this

. The carrot crop Is rendered useless
in many gardens by grubs eating into the
roots. This takes place in many we'll
managed gardens. The best remedy that
| have tried was to scatter quantity of
SCOT and lime over the surface of the
ground before forking it over for the
carrots. This works it into the ground,
and keeps the soil free from all sorts of
grubs for the whole season. The next
best way is to SOW the lime and SCOT be-
tween the rows and hoe it in the ground.

Raspberry Vinegar. Put two quarts
of ripe raspberries in covered jar and

pour the same vinegar over two quarts
of fresh raspberries, and repeat the same
process; then tn each pint of this vine

do-and commence to tap gently on the
wound. Do not stop for the hurt but
continue until it bleeds freely and be.
comes perfectly numb. When this point
is reached you are safe--all that is nee
essary is to protect it from the dirt. Do
not stop short of the bleeding and numb
ness, and do not on any account close
the opening with plaster. Nothing
more than little simple cera;e on a
clean cloth is necessary. We have used
and seen this used ON all kinds of simple
punctures for thirty years, and never
knew single instance of a wound be-
coming intlamed or sore after treatment
as above. Among other cases: A coal
rake tooth going entirely through the
foot, a rusty darning-needle through the
foot, bad bite by a sucking pig, several
instances of tile.shanks through the
hands, and numberless cases of rusty
nails, avis, etc, but we never knew a
