foot of the animal has been hurt in a
frightful manner, the cords having
been cut and the wound left SWOLLEN

and gum, one pound of each; water,

Those who have cows that give an
abundance of milk, should give them
plenty of feed to keep up the flow. A
plenty of milk can only come from
plenty of feed. Then warm shelter,
good clean beds and kind treatment all
contribute to that end.
To Keep the Hands Soft.-Take
three pounds common yellow soap, ono

der-water; beat the above in n mortar

grated rind and juice of one lemon, two
spoonfuls of corn-starch, small piece
of butter and one cup of sweet milk;
bake; then on the top spread the whites
of three eggs beaten to stiff froth
with three spoonfuls of sugar; put back

The Advantages of Poverty.

Much is said of the independence
of poverty" That riches nor place,
eloquence nor power, titles nor glory,
bring happiness is proved in the expe-
rience of all countries and all people.
While this is true on the one hand, it is
equally true on the other that poverty
has its advantages and adversely its
uses. If they are not as "sweet' as
Shakespeare paints them, they are not
as sour as many imagine. Punch illus
trates the common blessing of common
men in the following truisms:
You wear out your old clothes.
You are eXOnerated from making
calls.
You are not troubled with many vis-
itors.
Borers do not bore you. 1U.
Spongers do not haunt your table.
Itinerant bands do not play opposite
your window.
You are not prosecuted to stand god
father
No one thinks of presenting you
testimonial. W.. T.
No tradesman irritates you by ask
ing: "ls there any little article to-day,
sirp'
Begging-letter writers let you alone.
Imposters seem to know it's no use
bleeding you.
You swallow infinitely less poison
than others.
Flatterers do not shoot their rubbish
into your ears.
You are saved many debt. many q
deception, many headache.
And lastly, If you have a true friend
in the world, you are sure, in very
short space of time, TO learn it.

The Sulphur Cure.

A few years ago, when diphtheria
was raging in England, gentleman
accompanied the celebrated DR.. Field
on his rounds to witness the so-called
wonderful cures which he per-
formed, while the patients of others
were dropping on all sides. The rem
edy, to be so rapid. must be simple.
All he took with him was powder of
sulphur and a quill, and with these he
cured eUery patient without exception.
He put teaspoonful of flour of brim-
stone into a wineglass of water, and
stirred it with his finger, instead of a
spoon, as the sulphur does not readily
amalgamate with water. When the
sulphur was well mixed he gave it as
gargle, and in ten minutes the patient
was out of danger. Birthstone kills
every species of fungus in man, beast
and plant in few minutes. Instead
of splitting out the gargle he recon-
mended the swallowing of it. In ex-
treme cases, in which he had been
called just in the nick of time, when
the fungus was too nearly closed to
allow the gargling, he blew the sulphur
through quill into the throat, and,
uAVoi Ilo fungus ndu shluhh W hlloW Vi
it, then the gargling. He never lost
patient from diphtheria. If patient
cannot gargle, take live coal, put it
on shovel and sprinkle spoonful or
two of flour of birthstone at time upon
it, let the sufferer inhale it, holding the
head over it, and the fungus will die.
If plentifully used the whole room may
be filled almost to suffocation; the pa
tient can walk about in it, inhaling the
fumes, with doors and windows shut.
The mode of fumigating room with
sulphur has often cured most violent
attacks of cold in the head, chest, etc,
at any time, and is recommended in
cases of consumption and asthma.

you can see aud feel 10 contemplating the
various views from Mount Washington in
winter. To stand upon mountain summit
with the atmosphere 90 clear that with the
naked eye you can sec objects one hundred
miles away, is treat that will pay much
time and trouble. The time in our opinion
IS not far distant when people will visit
Mount Washington in winter, by the thou.
sands and thus the rare frost crystals,
sometimes three feet in length, pointing to-
wards the wind which brings the frost that
forms them; having that peculiar beauty
never seen elsewhere. aud which words and
pictures all fail to describe, will become
familiar.
About III A. NJ, fully satisfied with the
wonderful views spread out before US. we
commenced our descent We entered the
frost cloud about six hundred feet below
the summit, finding it about five hundred
feet in thickness reached the base without
accident, but we can hardly say that it was
without danger, as the ascent, or descent Of
the mountain 10 the winter is dangerous to
those not accustomed to it. We met friends
at the Fabyan who expressed regret at our
unsuccessful visit, as they supposed the
cloud covered the mountain as it had them.
We removed their regrets and sped home.
