The Free Cure OF Drunkenness.

The following is from q communica-
ton published in late number of the
Chicago Tribune:
You were kind enough to copy my
article in which | made known the
mower of tincture of cinchona as a
curative agent in alcoholism or drunk
enness; and / should like to say Just
this in addition to what has been
printed previously: As all medical
men and druggists are aware, there
is large amount of adulteration
in the Peruvian bark of COM
merce,' many banks which are mixed
with the genuine possessing the same
bitter principle observed in quinine,
but not the Alternative and anti-periodic
properties which the genuine bark alone
possesses. In speaking of tincture of
cinchona, therefore, | should have men,
| toned that the bark out of which it is
made must be pure, for it is the anti
periodic property that cures inebria-
| ton.
Besides, many of the drug stores
have ON their shelves tincture of Gin
| chona four or ten years old, as the ar
! ticle is little used nowadays. This
old stuff will not do, nor should drug
gists palm it off as fresh on people who
want it for the purpose of curing their
! friends or themselves of habitual intoX-
ication.
The pure and unadulterated tinct-
ure of cinchona, when up to the official
formula, will remove the dread curse;
and it is this | referred to. Many per-

Hints on Milking.

Mich cows should be kept as quiet
and comfortable as possible, and no
person should be employed in milking
whom the animals fear. AS a general
rule it is important that the milking
should always take place at regular
hours. The same person should always
milk the same COWS and in the same or
der each day, so far as practicable. A
good dairyman should know enough of
his stock to be able to tell which of his
COWS are more difficult to milk than
others, and when any new help is in
troduced the easiest milking COWS
should be assigned them. Owing to a
spirit of rivalry common among young
and inexperienced persons, they make
an effort to get their pals filled in the
quickest possible time, consequently
drawing from each COW as much of her
milk as is given down rapidly and read
lily, and leaving a considerable guam
tity behind in the udder. They may
fill their pals rapidly, but the interests
of the owner suffers ultimately. The
dairyman needs to assure himself by
personal trial that one COW is not left
for another until she is fairly MIXED
out, since, though it is proper to draw
the milk rapidly, it is even more i'm
portant to secure the last drop. Cows
that are ill-treated or roughly handled
will sometimes turn obstinate and will
hold their milk. Mixers should study
the disposition of the COWS under their
charge, that they may become familiar
with them, fondling them, patting and
stroking them, thus securing their con-
fidence In driving cows from past
ure they should never be driven or hur-
ried, or made to 90 faster than mod
crate walk. The dairyman should in
sist upon his assistants milking prop
erly from the very outset; it is far bet
ter to spend little time in this way at
the start than to allow the contraction
of bad habits which result in certain
amount of loss every day in the season.
! Briefly, the end in view in milking cows
is to empty the milk vessels complete
| ", by means of a progressive pressure,
exerted first by the thumb and index
finger and subsequently by the rest of
the fingers. Part of the milk will be
| left behind unless good care be taken
not to strangle the nipple, as it were,
at its base before pressing it, thus rem
dering part of the force applied of no
avail. inexperienced persons some
times think that they get on faster by
proceeding hastily to the alternating
movements required in milking; this is
a very great mistake, resulting in an
incomplete milking to begin with, I'M
necessary fatigue to the operator and a
good deal of distress to the COW. The
mixers should always have their nails
cut short, and if cows teats are pain
full from inflammation, or other cause,
care should be taken not to increase
her sufferings. The teats should be
anointed with some fatty matter free
from salt, or with few drops of milk
simply. Those who exercise the great
est care, patience and gentleness in
the matter of milking cows will be re-
warded with the best results. Boston

''are men with means, with modern
ideas; they will farm scientifically, de-
velOp your resources and make you
rich" There was a political interest
in all this, too, for, if once the
island was thus peopled, there would be
an end of sedition and secret conspira-
cies. None cared or thought what
would become of the poor people who
now hold the lands; and if the landlords
| were tempted to pity, it was a luxury
they could not afford. Thus England
sowed the wind and is now reaping the
whirlwind, for the great " famine clear
ances' which followed drove million
Irish to America, filled with that dead
ly hatred which was the origin and
spirit of Fenianism. rf. .-r
Few stories in history are more pain
full than the tale of these evictions. The
Irish tenants home is passionately
loved. Here his fathers lived before
him; and every rock and bush has its
sweet association. All his little store
of worldly goods, moreover, is gathered
within these humble walls; for he does
not hire his house all stocked as the En-
glish and Scotch farmers do. Under
such circumstances the evictions be-
came acts of the utmost cruelty and
brutality. The Sheriffs who accompa-
MED the landlords agents protested
that no execution was ever so trying to
their feelings as the leveling of these
wretched houses. The fiercest wrath of
nature even could not stay the dreadful
ruin. In hail and thunder, rain and
snow, the gangs pushed on the work of
destruction. The aged and bed-ridden,
the nursing babe, were driven forth into
the angry night to wander without
shelter or food, until God, in some I'M
foreseen way, perhaps by death, should
have mercy on their misery. The story
of these evictions makes the blood cur
die and boil by turns, and forces one to
look with horror upon the capabilities
of human nature.
For ten years the work went on.
Night and day, summer and winter,
the g Crowbar Brigade secured the
country. Hand work was too slow,
and a machine was invented which
would fasten upon the doomed house
and bring it down in instantaneous
ruin. The wretched victims fingered
about the sacred places until driven
away by starvation, or the more cruel
blows of their masters. Such landed
proprietors as did not embark in this
horrid scheme yet forbade their tenants
10 receive any of the fugitives, as none
wished the burden Of paupers, Such
peasants as had the means emigrated
to America, and some landlords, in
deed, paid the passage of those whom
they turned adrift. But vast multi
tudes died in the swamps, the mount
aims and by the roadside, or found a
little longer way to the grave through
the workhouse. -AppIet0nS' Journal.

mends the following treatment: Pre-
pare and give a purge, seeing that it
acts thoroughly; then wash the parts
with warm water and CASTLE soap; care
fully remove the scabs and other hard
substances; then take equal parts of
acetate of lead and olive oil, mix and
apply twice day for week, gently
rubbing each application in with the
fingers, afterward use once day veter-
mary cosmaline. As soon as the ami
NAL has done purging, take arsenious
acid four drains, carbonate of soda two
ounces, water one quart; mix and boil
over a slow fire till the acid is dissolved,
then cool and strain. Give half an
ounce of the solution once day for a
week, then twice day for long time.

the animal to go faster than jog, and
not from a walk for the first thirty
days"

Jewels of the crown of scotland,

At Edinburg, Scotland, some years since,
the Jewels of the Crown were locked in a box
that box in another, and so on, until they
were supposed to be burglar-proof. They were
then locked up in the vault of the castle there
to remain for one hundred years, the KEYS
being placed in mortar and fired into the sea-
Scarce fifty years passed by, and the modern
lock-picker opens the vault and boxes without
trouble So the science of medicine, when
studied with the aid of chemistry and the mi
croscope, becomes plain and simple, and dis
eases that were regarded incurabIe a genera
ton ago, now readily yield to remedies en-
ployed by the modern and progressive phys-
clan. A decade of years since, and women
were taught to believe that their peculiar dis
eases and weaknesses were incurable: but now
hundreds and thousands of once bed-ridden
women in the United States will testify to the
fact that DR.. Pierce's Favortc Prescription
has effected their perfect and permanent cure.

with little perseverance an entire cure was
effected. Ever gratefully yours

The Chinese Solomon.

A version of the real Solomonaic
story is to|be found in China. AS in
the Hebrew tale, two women had each
of them an infant, one of which died
by misadventure, the bereaved mother
claiming the surviving child. The Off
cial before whom they came did not
suggest so cruel measure as the divis-
ion of the infant, but simply ordered
that it should handed to a domestic in
his vamen, to be brought up for official
life. He rightly surmised that the real
mother would gladly accept so good a
chance for her offspring, while the pre-
tended mother, who only wanted the
child in order to dispose of it, would
demur. Judgment was accordingly
given in favor of the fearful acceptor
of the proposition, and the story, which
is alleged to be historical, is widely be-
lieved. -FoM Lore of China.
