A Cure for the Gout.

Several articles and letters have been
printed in the German papers of late
lauding the efficacy of the sting of the
common bee as cure for gout. Here
is one of the latest of these communi>
cations, which appeared only few
days ago in the Augsburg Evening
Gazette:
81 was lying in bed," says the writer,
s'suffering from heavy attack of gout.
accompanied with violent pains in my
left foot, when chanced to read in a
newspaper an article describing how
gout may be cured by the sting of bees.
at once determined to try the remedy.
and soon contrived small box by
means of which captured bee could
be applied to the afflicted part. then
lot my foot be stung by three bees in
succession, each bee leaving his sting
behind in my flesh. After a few min
utes these stings we're extracted; and
when the pain caused by them had sub
sided found that the gouty pain had
also left me. On the same day l left
my bed, and on the morrow was able to
walk about. For some little time my
foot was slightly infamed and I ex-
perienced some burning sensation; but
in four or five days this completely left
me, and was completely recovered" J"

Butter Making.

In communication to the Rural
New Yorker, F. D. Curtis says:
( "If have made discovery, or il
everybody knew 1t before me, | will tell
it all the same: As soon as the cream
shows signs Of coming, pour into the
churn two or three quarts of water
as near ice- cold as it il possible to get
and the butter will gather great
deal quicker aud come hard and firm.
I tried the cold water (ice- water) on the
start, aud found it made the cream too
cold and kept the butter from coming,
but put in at the last end it is capital
idea aud will save hours of churning in
the course of season. Butter will come
in fifteen or twenty minutes, as rule,
if the cream is in the right condition
and temperature. A cool cellar is cool
enough to start the churning, ami as
near right as most farmers can get it
without thermomers and ice; and cold
we'll water will lower the temperature
for gathering. The temperature of our
cellars is sixty four degrees, and the
butter invariably comes quick, with the
cold water, which is probably two de-
grees colder. When the cream stands
too long on the milk before skimming
the butter will not come 80 quickly and
it is always poorer, and such butter
will not keep we'll. This is one reason
and the main one, why there.it 30 mucf
rancid butter. Better churn oitenel
and have good, sweet butter, and skin
oftener also"

Two Sisters Hang Themselves and
a THIRD Goes Nearly Crazy.

CHICAGO, July 22-A double suicide
occurred last night at Hyde Parke, a
southern suburb of this city, the par
ticulars of which only became known
this morning. Three maiden sisters
named Elizabeth, Anna and Nina Trow-
bridge, aged respectively forty three,
forty and thirty years, have been living
for many years in good style in that
town upon revenues derived from mn
estate left them by their mother. Be-
lieving that their father had succeeded
in getting their entire property away
from them, they decided to die togeth>
er and spent Sunday and Monday in
preparing for death. They nailed up
tae ,aoots hnd windows. and the two
eldest sisters with most careful pre>
paration, drove spikes in either side OF
the easement of the folding doors. ad +.
iusted small hempen,cerds around their
necks and kicking from beneath their
feet, books piled on ottomans and
chairs, quietly strangled to death. The
Younger sister. Nina, who is dwarf,
remained in the mean time in an upper
chamber, and although the deed was
done about six o'clock Monday night,
she first gave warning at nine o'clock,
and the bodies were net cut down nm
til midnight, 1t was with greatest diffi
Guilty she could be induced to tell hei
story. and she told it IL so disconnected
and rambling a way that its accuracy is
even now doubted. She is in a state
bordering on insanity. In her chamber
was found knife, OF razor sharpness
and slip of paper on which was writ
ten. "We must nail up the doors
Mr.. Trowbridge, the father, who was
severely denounced by his daughter
Nina as the real cause of their misfor
tunes, Is said by those who know the
c,rcumst ances to have deserved no sucl
barrh words. He has managed the
property of his daughters for them. ant
they have been we'll and literally treat
ed at his hands. On account of recent
real estate transaction they became inn
bued with the idea that he was betray
ing his trust, and it is believe thai
their erratic minds dwelt on this be-
lief SO constantly that they became in
sane on the subject. They had
monthly income of one hundred and
twenty five dollars, and their owl
house, 90 that their fear OF starvation
or beggary was not we'll grounded.

A Stupid Man.

Yesterday morning as p Woodward
Avenue car was going north, a well'
known citizsn riding on the rear plat
form, lady appeared at street cross
ing as if about to take the car. She
made no motion to the driver, but as
the rear end of the car came along she
sweetly said to the citizen:
"Will you be kind enough to tel! the
driver to apply the brake and bring the
car to stop?''
There that stupid man looked at hel
with mouth wide open, and meyer made
a move to ring the bell, and the chi
passed away from the lady. If she hac
waved her hand and wildly cried
''Stop that kyar!' every passenger
would have reach for the strap at once,
but Just because she had good com
mand of the English language she was
left in the mud. Let us have more
college graduates among street cal
drivers.

Opinion Of tho Attorney General
in Reference to Local Quarantine.
VICKsBuRG, June II, 1879.


DR. Writ JOHNSTON, jackson:
DEAR SIs.-Yours of the 18th inst.
received. Under Section 2739 Of the
Code, it would be extremely difficult te
place limit upon the power of the
Boards of Supervisors and the corpor-
ate authorities Of cities and towns, il
adoptingi measures to prevent the in
PRODUCTION or spread of yellow fever
and other diseases.
The language of that section is ex-
tremely broad, and would, I think, war
rant the stopping of trains, and the
landing of vessels. if deemed necessary
or expedient to prevent the introduce
tion or spread Of diseases.
The power conferred by this statute
is in my judgment broad enough to
cover any ameasure deemed expedient
aud proper.
Quarantine regulations and health
laws Of every description, being regulas
tions Of police. are clearly within the
sovereign power Of the States; do not
violate any constitutional provision; are
sustainable even if they effect com
inerce incidentally, and have generally
passed unchallenged. have no doubt
Of the validity Of the statute mentioned
whether viewed from constitutional
stand point or otherwise.
Possessing the power itself, the State
can execute it either directly or
through the agency Of counties aud
towns Respectfully.

Buying a Horse.

The Rural New Yorker says: can
intending purchaser should have the
horse brought before him, and watch
the animal as he stands at rest. If the
owner is continually starting the horse
into motion, and urging him to "show
off," something may be suspected, be-
cause it IS when a horse is at perfect
rest that his week points are divulged.
II the horse be sound he will stand
square on his limbs, without moving
any one Of them, the feet being placed
fiat upon the ground, and all his legs
plump and naturally poised. If one
foot be thrown forward. and the toe
pointing to the ground, and the heel
raised, or il the foot be lifted from the
ground, and the weight taken from it,,
disease or tenderness may be sus-
pected."
