Remedy for Garget,

NJ. NJ. W.,-no address-askS what
will cure garget in cows bag.
ANs.-It the evil is in its eaily
stages, the simplest remedy is to put
the calf with the COW, and let it suck
and knock about the udder as it plea
SEES. In most cases this will relieve her
from an excess of milk and dispense
the Jumps. If this fails, then if the
disease occurs, as in this case, 10 hot
weather,the under should be well for
mented with warm water three or four
times a day, afterwhich it should be
thoroughly dried and hand-rubbed.
10 order that the application of mois-
ture may have the best effect, it should
be continuous for considerable time.
An excellent way to secure this end is
to ty Ike an oil-clOth or indla-rubber
bag to fit the cows udder, or nearly
so, coming up to the body, fiaring at
the top, and held up by a''s'rap passed
over the animals back; then fill this
with soft water, say,of the temperature
of 65 degrees. The water will grad
ually absorb the heat from the udder,
and must be changed as often as it
gets warm. Or, a cloth may be appll-
ed over the udder and secured by ban
dages round the body, holes having
been left for the teais. The udder can
then be covered with wool or tow,
which should be kept moist by renew
ed applications Of water every hour.
A moderate purge should also be adj
miuistered, say, half a pound of Ep-
som salts, which may be bene6cially
followed up with two ounces Of salt
peter in the water, morning and even
ing. Instead Of this purge, however,
an injection Of about three pints OF soft
blood warm water, without any med
icatlon in it, is often preferable. as it
moves the bowels without any irrlta-
tion, dissolving the hard faces aud
cooling off the intestines. If the first
injections does not operate in an hour
or two, a second should be given, and
generally a repetition is beneficial in
auy event. The milk should be care
fully drawn every four hours, and
when the milking is attended with
pain, siphon should be used This
treatment will usually prove successful
in cases in which the disease can be
cured without aid of skillful veterl-
nary practitioner. If the disease has
become so severe that his services are
necessary, it his business to prescribe
the various medicines suitable for the
different stages of the malady.

COrns.

Corns may be developed on any part
of the body where pressure and friction
exists 10 an inordinate degree: thus they
may be occasioned by too tight orr too
loose shoe; in the one case being due
to pressure, in the other to friction and
they are most actively produced when
both causes are combined. They are
met with most frequently on the feet, on
account Of the unpliant nature of the
coverings Of those organs: between the
toes from pressure only and on other
parts of the body from distortion. COns
are Of four kinds, viz: elavus (bunion)
callus, soft and the common com. The
callus may be soitened by moisture, as
By soaking in warm water; by the appli-
cotton ola starch or soap poultice; and
being softened, the tblckeued cuticle
may be lhined by scraping with blunt
knife. When the thickenlng has been
reduced suficiently,it may be kept down
by daily washing with soap. Clavus
and the soft corn require removal with
the knife and in eflecting this purpose
their mode of formation is to be borne
in mind. If the soft corn be Of mOder-
ate size, single pinch with a pair OF
pointed scissors will effect its removal,
while the hand callus will require a pa
tent digging with the point OF a not too
sharp knife. After the operation, the
corn should be covered with a piece OF
soap plaster for day or two, aud per-
grated plaster of buff leather SUISSE
quently worn to keep off pressure form
the center OF the growth. The remov-
al of "a callus or soft corn may be very
considerably aided by the use OF the
compound tincture OF iodine painted on
the swelling. When the corn is PAIN
full, this application subdues its sensl-
bility and renders the cutlcle dry and
friable, and easy ofremoval by means
ola file. Soap and water, so useful to
skin in many ways, are especially serv-
iceable to feet afflicted with corns and
particularly when they are soft corns.
Daily washing with soap and the subse'
quent lnterposition Of piece of cotton
wool between the toes, may be consld-
cred as a cure for soft corns; and in
these cases the skin may be hardened
by sponging with spirits of camphor af-
ter the washing. The cotton wool
should be removed at night, and this is
good time for the use of the camphOr-
ated spirits.

A British Curate's Hard Lines.

"An Old Curate' writes to the London
Times that he has been in orders since 1866.
He took honors in Hebrew and is learned in
Hebrew, Greek, Latin, German, French,
modern Greek, Welsh and mathematics. He
thinks he is an eloquent preacher, and he ad-
duces testimonials and facts as to schools es-
tablished, etc., in the eight curacies he has
held, to show that he works hard. One ''cel-
ebrated man" thanked him for sermon he
preached, and promised to ask Bishop Will
berforce for living for him, but he never
got it. He petitioned the Archbishop of Can.
terbury to appoint him to $500 living on
the death of his last vicar, but it was given to
a clergyman who already held $4,000 post
in the Anglican Church. He has been mar
ried twelve years, and has nine children; his
wife works like galley slave from q. m.
till II p. M, and is famous manager. New.
ertheless, since the day he married he has
been in daily expectation of the Work House,
from which he has only been saved by gifts
from the charitable or assistance from the
benevolent societies. Strangers have sent
coal and meat to his house, and sometimes
s5 notes; he wears secondhand clothing,
and most of his children the cast-of clothing
of Others All he wants is q parish of 1000
souls, and he declares that he will get q
church built and ask no further assistance if
till then he has $1,000 year. The Times
editorially snubs "The Old Curate," and
says that he had no right to marry.

A Natural Mistake.

Not long ago Milford man came to this
city, bent upon having good time. He had
it, according to his understanding of the
term, and when the shades of night had fall
en- he started for home, in a condition which
did not promise rapid trip. He manifested
desire to become acquainted with all parts
of the road, and over portions of it, here and
there, he fingered lovingly, but for what rea-
son other people could not see. Some OF the
night had passed when he reached the vicin-
ity of the rolling-mill in Fair Haven. In an
enjoyable stupor he stumbled in, and took
lodgings on the ground. Soon the workman
discovered him, and they dragged him in,
where the molten iron glared at the walls and
roof, the bright sparks were flying all around,
the laborers seemed in the alienation of hor
rible shadows and lurid flame, like inhabi-
tants of little pandemonium. The scene
might naturally remind one of the stories of
the abode of the damned. They shook the
man from Milford until his eyelids rose and
revealed to him the interior of the mill in all
it's impressiveness. "Who are you and where
do you come from?" said the workmen
The frightened reveler stared about him as
he replied, "Well when l was on earth /
lived in Milford. ."-Neao Haoen Palladium.

Dying With His Boots On.
detroit Free i'ress.1

A few days ago drummer from the East
was taking nip in saloon near the Central
Depot, and he put the proprietor up to new
dodge. 1t was to place on the hot stove what
seemed to be an ounce ball and cartridge, but
the cartridge or shell was of course empty.
Very few loungcrs would care to remain in
the room and wait for the expected explosion,
and once out doors they would give room to
cash customers. The saloonist procured
three or four of the ''bumbshells" and the
trick was success from the start. When he
had rOped in three or four friends to aid him
they could clear the room of lOaferS in one
minute by the watch, and the fat on their
ribs grew in thickness.
Yesterday morning an ungainly-lOOking
chap, who seemed to have been frost-bitten
by contract, and whose old Overcoat was too
ragged to even tangle the cold, dropped into
the place in quiet way and at once tried to
surround the coal-stove. The saloonist asked
him if he didn't want hot drink, and he re-
Piled:
''Oh, l guess not-Ill thaw out by the fire
after an hour or two"
Pretty soon hint was given him that he
could buy ten cent cigar for five cents, and
that reminded him that he had q clay pipe
and some tobacco in his pocket The saloon
ist thereupon determined to scare him out,
and while fixing the fire he placed one of the
deceivers on the stove and leaped away, with
the exclamation that some fiend had conspir-
ed to assassinate him. The stranger rose up,
realized the peril, and called out: ''How
long fore the darned thing will shoot Off"
"You haven't minute to live if you don't
get out doors!" was the wild answer, as the
saloonist made dive for rear room.
''Pete Adams" began the stranger, as he
shook off his old overcoat, ''you hain't got a
tarnal thing to live for. and you might as
we'll go under now, when cofins are cheap.
Brace up, old boy, and die with your boots
on-whoop!"
Picking up stool he knocked the hot
water can off the stove at the first blow and
he was whaling away at the beer tables when
the saloonist rushed in and screamed out:
"Fly! Fly. or you're dead man !"
"Welcome! King of terrors!" whooped
Peter as be tossed table clear over the bar
keepers head.
Three or four men came in to help secure
him, but before they had succeeded in jam
ming him down behind the coal-box they had
bumps and bruises enough TO last them for
month.
''I'm the clothes-pln that never flies from
nothing nor nobody!" remarked Peter as
they finally let him up and sought to get 500
damages.
He hadn't red cent, and when he had
jumped through back window and cantered
down the alley his faded and ragged over
coat alone remained to tell that he had been
there

Richard ILL.," The house was crowded and
the scene as usual when this eccentric per-

The Center Of Interest In French Politics
VERSAILLES, January 20.-The public gal
leries and lobbies of the House are densely
crowded. The Republican Left has prepared
two orders of the day-one expressing conf
dence in the Ministry, to be brought forward
if the declarations of Dufaure are satisfac-
tory, and the other expressing want of con-
fdence should the Ministerial statement ap-
pear insufficient. These orders are entrusted
to Jules Ferry. The feeling among the Re-
publican majority is wish to support the
Ministry if the declaration is sufficient. All
the Ministers breakfasted to-day with Du-
faure. 1t is asserted that Dufaure is disposed
to admit the justice of the demands of the
Republicans relative to changes in the magis-
terial and administrative staff.
During the suspension of the sitting of the
Chamber of Deputies, the government eff
fected q compromise with the Left, thus se-
curing majority for the Ministry. In con-
sequence of the compromise, Jules Ferry
offered bis motlon expressing confidence in
the Mnisty, which va adopted bya vote OF
223 to l21.
