sumption.

tNNtSehO AtAAuAc.
Medical men have known for q
long time that the best remedies
for consumption were plenty Of
pure air. sunshine and exercise,
and also food that contained much
carbon. Ced-liver oil has been a
favorite remedy, and has done
good in prolonging the lives Of
eonsumptiyes, and putting off the.
approach Of the grim monster.
The virtues of other remedies
are in proportion to the amount
Of carbon they can infuse into the
system 10 iced the consuming
flame that wastes the body. TIE
theory is. that the internal fever
burns up the carbon in the blood
lasterthan the food ealen can re-
place it. The disease then preys
on the fatty substances Of the
body. and destroys the lungs, and,
eventually, the life. In short,
there is not oil enough III the lamp
for the wick, and the latter is
burnt aid the light goes out
Elsewhere we print an interest
ing letter from DR.. D'Unger, Of
Minneapolis, on this sui ject, in
which he makes public a pre-.
scripiion which he declares has
produced excellent effects, to bis
personal knowledge. This is bis
prescription:
Oae-half pound finely-cut-up
beeisteak (lresh);
One drachm pulverized char
coal;
Four ounces pulverized sugar;
Four ounces rye whisky;
Oae pint boiling water.
Mix all together, let it stand in
cool place over night and give
from one to two teaspoonfuls liquid
and meat-before each meal.
| have used this preparation
very frequently, and have never
found il act otherwise than bene-
fetal. The dose should be small
at first, until the stomach becomes
used to it, and then gradually in
creased.
This remedy has, at least, the
merit Of simplicity. Any one can
try it. If il does no good, it can
do no harm.

a pocket knife between the lip and
teeth, the hog viii get well in a
few hours. And if your hcg
looks hide bound and their hair is
rough give them salt mixed with
good strong ashes, and grease
them with train oil. Do this
three times a year and your hogs
will never have cholera. | have
tired THIS treatment lor elSnteen
years, and have never lost one by
thumps or cholera. Secondly,
pumpkins will not hurt hogs with
or without seed, with little salt
sprinkled on Them occasionally.
The time 10 castrate is when the
pigs are four jsys old, as it never
hurts them at that age, and they
grow faster and larger. AS a
proof OF this. try it a few times,

Our Dried Fruit Bonanza,

A leading Nashville grocer Of
fers q suggestive hint TO the d
mericgls COR the ediiication Of fruit
growers, which we regard Of such
practical value and profit to them.
chat we lose no time ia laying il
before them. is in the manner
Of drying peaches and apples for
market. After having been peel
ed and sliced, the fruit should be
strung or threaded on cords and
suspended in Gestoons in the sun.
With large needle and stout cord
child could do this light work,
which would furnish employment
for the younger members of a
thrifty farmers household. The
advantage of this mode over the
OLD method Of drying is in the
preservation Of the sweetness and
color Of tie fruit. The strings
may be easily removed to shelter
at night aud in case Of rain. BY
the old. sbiltless custom Of drying
the fruit is exposed to the dew at
night aud to the showers and is
rendered gritty and unclean by
the accumulation Of dirt, and the
color is as unpresentable as the
taste is unpalatable, from the soak
ing ii IS subjected to by exposure.
But when dried in strings, after
the manner suggested, aud shell
tered from rain and night dews,
The fruit is sweet and unshriyeled,
and has a bright, golden color
which enhances the market value.
Farmers inste9d of two or three
cents for dried peaches, might by
this cleaner process, realize from
ten to fifteen cents. Merchants
pay twenty five cents in New
York for the best article of dried
peaches. Our grocer exhibited TO
US beautiful specimens Of this rich,
bright fruit, and as to flavor, full
ness and color, the dingy, dark,
shrunken fruit, dried 10y the old
process, certainly suffered in the
comparison. A great deal Of mon
ey would be saved by the adoption
Of the simple method suggested =

A WUD-KcOAD LOCOMOTIVE.

Perhaps the most novel sight that was
ever seen in Michigan was witnessed here,
says the Farwell (Mich.) Register, in the
way of q railroad engine running through
the woods on a common dirt road. The
engine arrived day or two since, on the
Flint and Pere Marquette Railway, from
Pittsburg, made expressly for their rail-
road north of this place, used for hauling
logs to the Muskedon River. After its
arrival here, the query was, how to get the
engine to its observation-disclosures fifteen
miles distant. Two hundred dollars hay
ing been offered for the job without avail,
the managers conceived the novel plan of
getting up steam and trying the wagon
road, which was put into execution. Steam
was gotten up and the engine started north
ward on the Iona and Houghton Lake
State Road at the west end of town, with
cheers and hurrahs from the assembled
crowd. 1t moved off slowly and steadily
without any apparent difficulty, followed
by a force of men with levers, and teams
with water to supply its wants. The sight
was curious and novel, railroad engine
puffirg through the tall pines vomiting fire
and smoke and startling the astonished
woodsmen along the route An astonisAed
mossback came into town the same day
and declared he had seen hell and the
devil "bnck here in the woods" The
story of the steamboat looking for wa
ter may not be hard to believe after
this.

One of the greatest charms of this cos
mopolitan city is its street life. 1t is thor
oughly Oriental i'll character. 1t is moy-
ing panorama of all nationalties, creeds,
languages, and costumes, with strong
preponderance of the Oriental and semi
barbarous element. II is perpetual car
nival, which deGes description. The bou-
leyards Of Paris, London Bridge and New
York Broadway cannot compare with it.
You may enjoy this spectacle quietly sitting
on the veranda of Shepheard's Hotel, but
still better in the old town, especially the
Muskee. The streets are alive with gaudi-
ly-dressed men and yelled women, water
carriers, peddlers of all kinds of wares,
braying donkeys, growing camols, barking
dogs horses and carriages-all jostling
against each other in endless confusion.
In Muskee the crowd is SO dense that it
seems impossible to get through, and the
noise so loud that you cannot hear your
own voice. Every carriage is preceded by
one OF more feet runners, crying to clear
the way. The mosques are covered with
carpets or rugs, for kneeling and prostra-
ton, and pulpit or reading desk; but
there are no seats. In entering mosque
you may wear your hat, but must take off
your shoes, or put on slippers. Slippers
or sandals of straw are always provided at
the entrance of the mosques and must be
paid for. Women are seldom seen in the
mosques. The Koran does not command
them to pray, and some Mohammedan
philosophers doubt whether women have
souls. Yet they are necessary for the SEN
sual hliss of paradise, where the humblest
believer is allowed eighty thousand slaves
and seventy two wives, beside those he had
in this life, if he chooses to keep them

for the right slip of paper. He wanted to
vote yes, and so at a venture he fished a
ballot out of his left-hand pocket and voted
it. When the ballots were counted, it was
found that fourteen of them read YES, and
one No. Vote after vote was taken on the
case, and with the same result, until it in
some way it leaked out that the Juror re-
ferred to had his 1eft-hand pocket stuffed
with ballots reading No. which he had
been voting, when all the time he wanted
to vote in the affirmative. Another vote
was then taken on the case, and the intelli-

counted they were all in favor Of the find

TE1E INTELLIGENT JUROR
AGAIN.

The sandusky (Ohio) Register tells the
following story of member of the Grand
Jury at the October term of the Common
Pleas Court in that city: Gone of the
Jurors could neither read nor write, and in
order to cast his ballots for or against in
dictments in the cases he got friend to
write for him two sets of ballots-one set
reading yes the other set No. He
folded his ballots carefully, and placed
them in his vest pockets, those reading in
the affirmative in his right-hand pocket,
and those in the negative in his left-hand
pocket. During the examination of wit
neesses he was so occupied in listening to
the testimony that he forgot how he had
arranged the ballots, and when the jury
came to vote on one of the cases he couldn't
tell for his life which pocket to dive into
