able to foresee this, she probably would
never have ventured to take the line she
has. The whole course of preceding
events leaves little doubt that the deeply
seated dIstrust existing among the Powers,
has from the beginning been the cause
why the moderating c|ounsels of Europe
could produce so little effect on Russia.

finding q trustworthy ally in any other;

Snake Bite.

Before the old Revolution, an
old Indian gave to man in Rowan
county by the name of Beaver, on
Coddle Creek, the following receipt
for curing a snake bite. or poison OF
any kind. Beaver made the Indian
test the matter by permitting a
poisonous snake to bite his naked
foot twice. He then spread some of
his ointment on the wound, put on
his shoe, went on with his work and
experienced no further trouble. Bea-
yer kept it secret for long time !;
made money at it. 1t is very SIM
pie and ought to be widely known.
One pound of fresh butter, free from
salt. melt it, put in yolks of two
hen eggs, not the whites. stew till
brown; then add the same quantity
of sugar as of the eggs. in fifteen
minutes strain for use spread it on
the skin where the poison is, as Of
ten as needed till cure is effected.
The man who gave this to the writer

having his leg amputated-now the
surface is healed over, and the skin
looks natural. He is blowing every

At this time of year freckles are a

little exposure to the sunshine are
over sensitive when the summer va
cation brings a brief change oc hab-
its; and the sun takes his revenge
upon them for long stunning his &C
quaintance by speaking their faces
with the unwelcome freckles. Though
unsightly, these are harmless things
enough, being due simply to the de-
posit of little melamine or coloring
matter in one of the layers Of the
skin. They are not so deeply seat
ed as the more permanent form Of
freckles, which are Independent of
changes of exposure. and they will
often yield readily to spirituous To-
tons and very dilute mineral acids,

A French journal recommends a
collodion containing ten per cent. of
it's weight of sulphocarbolate ofzinc,
as giving excellent results. The So
lutions of corrosive sublimate and
other mercurial salts, used for the
purpose, are more or less dangerous
and should be avoided.
The following formula is also
highly commended: Sulphocarbolate
of zinc l part; Collodion As parts /;
oil of lemon l part; absolute alco-

The sulphocarbolate ofzinc should
be reduced to an extremely fine

quite an advantage to bald headed
