BE YE LIKE FOOLISH.

Six months ago saw a U. s. flag with Hop BIlisrs

A SOUND STATE EVERY WAY.

It is interesting to know that, had
there been an election of the General
Assembly on the 9Th of October, the
votes as cast for Secretary of State would
have elected Legislature Democratic
on joint ballot, Notwithstanding the loss
of this county. A careful examination
of the official vote shows that, had the
votes been cast for the Legislature as for
the Office of Secretary of State, the House
of Representatives would have stood:
Democrats ffty-seven and Republicans
fifty seven, tie. The Senate would
stand: Democrats twenty, Republicans
seventeen-a Democratic majority of
three. The Legislature to be elected in
Ohio next fall will choose a United
States Senator. 1t is gratifying to learn
that the vote of this year would have
elected Legislature that would have
made that Senator Democrat -CIn'

Bow to Press Autumn Leaves.

The Young Ladies Journal, OF the
inst, gives the following method for
preserving autumn leaves: Press the
leaves carefully between newspapers,
take care to avoid tapping one over
another. The next day take out the
leaves and dry the papers. Put the
leaves again in press, and the next day
repeat the drying process. This ought
to be done three or four times, or till
all the moisture is extracted from the
leaves. This is troublesome, but the
result is brilliant. If the face of each
leaf, after the first pressing, is brush
ed over with sulphuric acid, diluted
one half with water, the color will be
still greater. Do not wax or varHish
the leaves as it gives them an unnatu-
raj gloss. They can be made in sprays
or garlands by means Of the fine wire
which florists use, twisted around the
stems. Remember that sulphuric acid
must be used very carefully as it burns
holes in articles of dress, etc.

Mayonnaise Of Tomatoes.

Choose firm, smooth, ripe tomatoes,
lay them in the ice-box, and keep them
as cold as possible until they are
placed on the table. Prepare the
dressing by beating the yolks of two
raw eggs with teaspoonful of mixed
mustard, and adding to it, drop by
drop, olive oil, beating constantly un-
til it begins to thicken; then put in a
few drops of lemon juice and more
oil; alternating the two until the
sauce becomes SO thick it will not run
Stir in q teaspoonful of salt and a ta-
blespoonful Of rich cream, and set
away in a covered bowl. The eggs
should be cold, the oil added slowly,
and the stirring with silver fork
be unremitting in order to make this
sauce a success. The cream may be
omitted, and strong vinegar used in
place of the lemon juice. Peel the
tomatoes with sharp knife, lido not
scaldD arrange them neatly on dish,
and turn the sauce over them. Gar
nish with curled parsley, or place a
border of finely shaved cabbage
around the outer edge and parsley in
the centre.

An ounce Of prevention is worth =
pound Of cure-is proverb true for
ell time. And in these days of msll-
ria, IS it is called, it is best to take
facts well established, and act on them
The prevalence Of sickness among the
British troops sent to Cyprus, has
called out the following from Capt.
Burton, the well known African trav-
eller and explorer. In letter to the
London Times, in regard to his expo
rience at the delta of the Niger, the
most pestilential region of western
Africa, he says:
every morning and evening the
men were mustered on the quarter
deck for medical inspection. The sur
geon set aside for further treatment
those whose tongues, pulse and tenn
peraturc suggested Incubation
Meanwhile the rest were made to
swallow once a day small doses of
quinine-one or two grains in
mouthful of spirits and water. 1t was
necessary to watch the men; with Pc
culiar sailor-likc perverseness many
would attempt to spit the stuff over
board. BY persevering in these pre-
cautions have kept a gun-boat near
Iy fortnight in the pestilential Oil
rivers without a case of ague or fever
appearing on board. Now that the Sc
crct of 'Warburg's drops has been
bought by Government, We find in
medicine a combination of quinine
with the diaphoretic used before the
discovery of Peruvian bark the best
prophylatic against and remedy for
ague and fever. Perhaps Tinctura
Warburgii has not been supplied TO
the medical officers serving in Cy
prus."
Here is an experience of value, and
it shows that if people would give a
little care and forcthought to prevent
i've methods at the proper season, and
as matter of daily care, the inevita-
BILE fever and ague, bilious fevers, and
other diseases that come from certain
well known conditions, at certain sea-
sons of the year, could be, in very
large degree at least, averted.-Kan-

Do Try to Keep Coed Poultry.

II a farmer keeps hens ut all it is the
worst Of folly to keep inferior kinds
that is, common stock that gives poor
layers and poor fowls for the table. A
few miserable half starved fowls round
farmers premises, that get their liv-
ing as best they car, are not creditable
to their owners in these days. 1t isn't
to be wondered at that there are so
few fresh eggs for the table, or that
the coffee, sugar. tea. etc, have to be
paid for in money. The best thing to
do, under such circumstances, is To
fatten and dispose of them at the table
or in market, for what they win bring.
and supply their places with . better
sort.-Kansas Farmer.

Poultry.

If eggs are expected during the win
ter they must be provided for now.
Dispose of the old hens, and select the
same number of pullets and feed them
well. Give wheat soaked in warm
water once day. Barley, buckwheat
and corn, in equal proportion, may
make the rest of the food; chopped
cabbages will help. Provide clean
quarters, plenty of water, gravel, old
mortar, and charcoal. Make the house
warm; do not crowd too many into
it, and good supply of eggs will be
the result.

To Care for Eggs.

A correspondent, in the Inter Ocean
of the 9th inst, says: Take an old box
or barrel and slit into it through n
coarse scivc layer Of ashes two inch
es thick. Grease the eggs with any
kind Of sweet grease, and stand them
on the small end in the ashes. Silt
another layer of ashes and put the eggs
as before, taking care not to allow the
eggs 10 touch each other. Ihave kept
them fresh for nearly year in this

An Asserted Sure Cure for Cancer

Use the extract of sheep sorrel pre-
pared as follows:
Gather the sheep sorrel when green.
place it in q mortar, beat it up very
zine, express the juice, strain it in Or
der to get rid of the lint and trash.
Place the juice in deep plate and set
IL in the sun until it cvaporates to the
consistency of mo!asses or honey.
Spread the salve thus produced on a
piece Of kid, or on a linen cloth, and
apply to the affected part, renewing il
two or three times day. This appli-
cation in two or three days will cause
the ulcerous part to slough of, after
which apply simple ointment to heal
the sore. The remedy is sure and
causes considerable pain, but it is otn-
erwise harmless. Ii the patient has
the nerve to stand the pein it pro-
duces. 1t will effect radical cure.
