The Great Remedy for
Female Complaints.

In all diseases of the Kidneys the scientific ply
sician, with the aid of the microscope and the va
rious methods of determining the chemical constitu-
ents to the urine, may be enabled to give accu-
rate diagnosis, and important dietetical and by
gienic suggestions. In serious it may be
sary to have all the aid that may be derived from
careful professional examinations, microscopic n-
specton aud scientific analysis of the WATER but it
often happens that the doctors prescriptions fail to
reach the case. And yet most important of all the
desiderata in such cases are safe and
Reliable Remedy.
Our science is manifestly at fault if it fails to make
this one Indispensable discovery. The diagnosis,
however learned, is not a remedial agent-it never
cures. With the patient the remedy is the main
thing-it is everything-while the mere technology
of the doctors has practical value in the estima

Polishing Furniture.

Here are a few recipes for polishing
wooden furniture and ornamental work,
collected from various sources:
(l) Two ounces of wood naptha, half an
ounce best shelac, one drachm gum ben.
loln; crush the gums and mix with the
naphtha in n bottle shake frequently till
dissolved. 1t is now ready for use. Dip a
bit of cotton wool in the polish lightly, and
tie it up tightly in linen rag, to which
apply little linseed oil to prevent it stick
ing to the wood. Use this rubber" gently.
Polish always from a centre outward and in
with a circular motion rapid and light.
Finish with a drop Of spirits of wine on a
,eparate and clean rubber" This will re.
move the oil. When dry your polish will
,how finely. (2) ''ris said little whskey
put in clear water will give a nice gloss to
urniture washed in it; or rub it with coal oil,
which is very cleansing, and the oppressive
odor Of which soon evaporates. Boiled
,nseed oil is excellent for oiled walnut.
l3) Put into bottle one pint Of lnseed
iii, half quartern of spirits of wine, half
I quartern of vinegar, and one ounce of
utter of antimony. Mix all together, and
shake the bottle we'll before using it. (4)
Boiled linseed oil is best furniture polish.
81 Sweet oil will remove finger marks
rom vanished furniture, and kerosene
from oiled furniture. (6) Hot dishes some
lines leave whitish marks on vanished
ables, when set as they should not DO, care
lessly upon them. For removing them,
pour some lamp oil on the spot. and rub it
hard with a soft cloth. Pour on a little
spirits, and rub dry with another cloth, and
the whole mark will disappear, leaving the
table as bright as before. (7) A shovelful
1f hot Goals held over vanished furniture
will take out spots and stains. Rub the
place while warm with flannel. (S) The
grain of black walnut is quite open, and
will readily absorb great deal of raw oil
without becoming polished. If little
gum copal is mixed with the oil, in short
time the wood will become as highly
polished as a coach body. (6) For old
black walnut furniture which has been
sarnished, take of shellac two parts, boiled
Ill one part. shake well, apply with a cloth

Reunited Brothers.

One of the frequent minor romances

long g-atenated brothers in Leadville,
the other day. The Chronicle of that
place relates the circumstance as fol-

"sCan you write your namef' said
Mr.. james T. Hull, the extensive coal
burner, out on the Tennessee Park road,
to one OF his workmen to whom he was
about to pay months wages. The
workman was noticed to twitch nervous
", and try to keep something from COM
ing up in his throat, as he replied that
he might after q fashion,
''Put it there; always take re-
ceipts,' added Mr.. Hull, pointing to
where the workman was to try and
write his name. 49, ..5-
THE man took the pen, and after
scanning the receipt with q business air.
dashed off the name of Daniel F. Hull.
The coal-burner looked first at the
plain, bold signature, and then into the
face of the signer. There was twinkle
in the laborer's eye that told of the
long-suppressed recognition. The two
men were brothers, estranged years
ago.
=. The elder, or James T., WELL known
in Leadville, came to Colorado in 1860.
The brother came five weeks ago,
sought for and obtained work know

nized him last evening for the first

MOSLFM DIVORCES.
A Ceremony Which is Model of Sim
plicity, and Still Sometimes Results
AwkWardly.

\ writer in Fraser's Magazine says
Among Moslems no bill of diverce-
ment Is necessary, but only the short
verbal formula Of - Veil thyself, take
thy marriage portion. and 20. a wife
NAV thus be repudiated twice and taken
back. but If the fatal formula have been
pronounced third time, she can only
be recovered after fully consummated
marriage with and divorce by another
husband. This latter condition some
times results in awkward c0ntretemps.
The person chosen 10 play the part Of
Intermediary husband Is generally the
Oldest and feeblest poor man that can be
found. For a = consideration, he con-
sents to discharge the provisional func-
ton, and engage TO divorce the lady on
the morrow But il occasionally hap
pens that the taithless old sinner,
having p0cketed and earned his fee, re
fuses u surrender pretty and wealthy
bride or only does 80 after a much lon
ger usutruct than was bargained for and
for a further considerable money ran
som. As may readily be supposed,
such a condition and its incidents have
weight with even the hastiest, tempered
husbands, and co-act with other consid-
erations to protect wives against the
risk Of talak (repudiation) except for
grave and sufficient reasons. Certain
it is that, barring in such cases,
divorces are now quite as rare among
the Moslems as among the Christian sub
ject> Of the porte, and hundred times
less common than among our - more
civilized selves. Before the cadi,
however, as before Sir James Hannen,
the law in this respect favors the wife
less than the husband. The latter may
brave social feeling and cut the conju-
gal knot when he likes, but the wife can
only regain her freedom on proof Of
positive ill-treatment or for one or two
other grounds OF complaint, and even
then at the cost Of abandoning her dow
ry and troussea to her peccant husband.

tragedy on Monday evening. Frank
MManus, aged eighteen years, and his
sister Mary Theresa, aged sixteen years,
went into the kitchen for a romp with
the small children during the absence of
their parents at church. Mary seated
herself in a chair, and Frank took a
position diagonally opposite. ard about
twelve feet from her. He had revol-
vera small one, twenty-five caliber.
Supposing that the chambers were emp
ty, he lifted the pistol and pulled the
trigger rapidly, the muzzle pointed to-
ward his sister. He heard report, but,
seeing his sister sitting upright, thought
no harm had been done. An examina-
tion proved that the ball had penetrated
the skull, causing almost instant death.
The brother became frantic with grief,

How to Get Rich.

The Michigan Farmer report a con-
versation with one Of the progressive
farmers Of that State in which are pre-
sented some thoughts which are Just as
applicable To this latitude Being asked
what the farmers Of Michigan most
needed to increase the value Of their
lands, crops, and herds, 4" They want, ;"
said he, Just what the merchants, the
manufacturers, and the mechanics want;
just what the railroad men, the lumber
men, and the mining men want they
want labor, capital, and brains. There
IS not a farmer in the State but will
stand an application of this trio, work,
money, and thought. We asked him
again, what simple and easy methods he
would recommend to the farmers from
which they could get the quickest re-
turns, and he replied, 3" First, | would
recommend that every COW in the State
be crossed by a thoroughbred bull |
calculate that this would add a mil
lion and a half dollars to the
wealth of the State in two years.
and that it would double the value of
the cattle Of the State in four years
Second, | would cross every breeding
eve III the hClStt Will Il IiibIDu0 uDIttl
ram Of approved pedigree, and | calcu-
late that it would add one pound Of wool
to every shearing in two years, besides
improving the focks in many respects.

Third, | would have every farmer Sc
lect the seeds of every grain, especially
of corn and wheat-that is.to pick out
the best and discard the inferior. The
profit would be immense, for there is no
telling how much can be gained by Sc
lection Of seeds"
Now here are three things within the
reach Of almost every farmer. They
require Il little money, some work, and
good deal Of will power. Was the
old man right? Let every farmer

The Aromatic Nutmeg.

Nutmegs grow on little trees, which
look like little pear trees, and are gener-
ally over twenty feet high The flowers
are very much like the lilly ofthe valley.
They are pale yellow and very fragrant.
The nutmeg is seed of the fruit, and mace
is the thin covering over this seed. The
fruit Is about as large as a peach. When
ripe it breaks open and shows the little
nut inside. The trees grow on the island
of Asia and in tropical America. They
bear fruit for seventy or eighty years,
having ripe fruit upon them at all sea
sons. A fine tree in Jamaica has over
four thousand nutmegs lit yearly. The
Dutch used to have all the nutmeg trade,
as they owned the Banda Islands, and
conquered all the other traders and des-
troyed the trees. To keep the price up,
they once burned three piles of nutmegs,
each of which was as large as a church.
Nature did not sympathize with such
meanness. The nutmeg pigeon, found
in all the Indian islands, did for the
world what the Dutch had determined
should not be done, carried these nuts,
which are their food, into all the sur
rounding countries, and trees grew
again, and the world had the benefit.
