POLISH FOR WoMEN's AND
CHILDREN's SHoEs.-To make
this, put half a pound of gum
shellac in a wide-mouthed bottle,
or fruit jar, and cover it with
strong alcohol loosely cork, and
set this in a saucepan of cold
water, placing under it a small
piece of board, a couple Of sticks,
or whatever will keep the bottle
from direct contact with the
bottom Of the saucepan. Set the
pan on the stove, and allow 1T to
heat up gradually, and keep the
water at the simmering point,
stirring from time to time with
a stick, until the shellac is dis
solved, which it should be in
half an hour or less. Recollect
that the vapor of alcohol is very
imfammable, and it must be
kept from contact with the fire.
When the shellac is thoroughly
dissolved, remove the bottle from
the saucepan, and add one ounce
of lamp black, stirring thor
oughly, until all Jumps are re-
moved. If too thick, as it is
likely to be, add more alcohol
to make it thin enough to apply
readily with a brush, or by means
of a sponge attached to a wire.
Keep we'll stopped, and if it be-
comes thick by the evaporation
of the alcohol, add more. This
applied, as a varnish, to leather,
rubbers, ETC., dries at once, and
leaves a bright gloss. 1t can
only injure leather mechanically,
several coats will make it stiff,
which may be avoided by occa-
sionally oiling the leather.

Queen Victoria likes Dickens
novels, and some little of George
Eliot, but her chief favorites are
Wilkie Collins and William
Black. Scott she reads and re-
reads. She does not particularly
like the novels of Beaconsfeld.

Of potassium in 200 Of wine or
water, and gives before each
meal twice a day, a dessert spoon
full e or grammes), so that the
patient takes daily Is or Is
grammes of the solution, or LIS
grammes of the iodide.' After
some days this quantity is grad
ually doubled. The same dose
may be taken in syrup OF orange
peel. If the patient becomes
disguised with the taste he may
take the iodide in water. There
is no definite time for the dura-
ton of the treatment, but gener-
ally at the end of three or four
weeks, when the attacks are nit
igated or abolished, the dose
may be diminished to a gramme
and a hall per diem. From time
to time the treatment may be
interrupted for a day, but a ion
ger interruption raay be follow
ed by a relapse. In one case a
patient who had been cured a
year, having given up the iodide
for four days was again attacked.
Any accompanying cough may
be relieved by the addition Of a
little extract Of opium or syrup
of peoples; where, when there
is not much cough or catarrh,
two or three grammes of chloral
given in the evening assist in
diminishing the dyspnga. The
! general result is that a cure takes
place in almost all cases, even
when the patients are placed
amid atmospheric conditions
which are habitually injurious
No precaution has to be taken as
regards HYGIENE and regimen,
and the use of coffee and tobacco
has not seemed to be injurious.

And there's an end TO your headache.
CURE FOR IVY POISONING.
Many persons r poisoned by
contact with the wild ivy and
sumac, and in some cases the
poisoning is very severe. 10
such it may be of interest to
know that DR.. Brown, of the
United States navy, claims to
have discovered a certain rene
dy for such poisoning. 1t is
bromine dissolved in olive oil,
cosmoline or glycerine. He used
twenty drops Of bromine to an
ounce of oil, rubbing it on the
affected part three or four times
a day, and washing it off occa-
sionally with CASTLE soap.
HOW TO CURE DYSPEPSIA.
DR.. Nicholas, who has made a
series Of dietic experiments on
himself, has arrived at the con
clusion that, if the stomach is
allowed to rest, any case of dys-
pepsia may be cured; that the
diet question was at the root of
the disease; that pure blood can
only be made from pure food,
and that, if the drink of a nation
were pure and free from stimu-
lating qualities, and the food was
also pure, the result would be
pure health.
A VALUABLE REMEDY.
DR.. G. F. Waters, of Boston,
has found in the juice Of the
milk-weed a remedy for suppu-
rating wounds. The time of
healing varied from twenty-four
to thirty-six hours; but in each
instance new skin formed COM
pletely across. The doctor states
that the only essential point is
to dry the wounded surface gent
ly and thoroughly with blotting
paper before applying the milk
weed juice. After the juice is
applied, and while the healing is
in progress, a piece of blotting-
paper is used to cover the sur>
face.
A HEALTHFUL PRACTICE.
the clothing, and stand
ing erect, throw the shoulders
we'll back, then hands behind,
and the breast forward. In this
position draw slowly as deep an
Inspiration as possible, and re-
tain it by an increased effort for
a few seconds, then breathe it
gradually forth. After a few
natural breaths, repeat the long
inspiration. Let this be done
for ten or fifteen minutes every
day, and in six weeks time a
very perceptible increase in the
diameter of the chest and it's
prominence will be evident.
GLYCERINE AS A MEDICINE.
In moderate doses, not ex-
ceeding thirty grammesperdiem,
which should be taken all at
once, diluted with about ten
times the quantity of water.
Cattillon affirms that glycerine
improves the appetite and the
digestion, and acts gently on the
bowels. He does not recommend
a larger dose, but Harnack gave
diabetic patients as much as $50
to $50 grammes daily, in associ-
alton with animal food, and
found a marked improvement
in their general condition, and a
reduction in the quantity OF
urine sugar and urea eSerted,
the latter two results agreeing
with those obtained by Catillon
in his experiments on dogs and
on himself. 1t is important,
however, to notice that gIycerine
is a poison in large doses.
A CURE FOR ASTHMA.

ly read a paper before the Paris
Academy of Medicine, in which
he expresses himself very enthu-
siastically concerning the iodide
of potassium and iodide Of ethyl

urgent charities Of the church may
demand.
The attendance at the exercises was
very large, and an exceedingly interest
ing programme was presented. The
first feature presented was that of the
many choice articles for sale on the
tables, and under the supervision of
ladies in the city and from Fort Rus
sell. All the articles on exhibition
were useful as well as ornamental, en-

plopuse THE WEST.

A highly educated and thoroughly
"culchawed" writer on political econ
omy, one of that school who are con-
tinually kicking against well estab-
lished principles, and battering against
the stubborn logic of facts with rams
Of syllogism, has said something new
about the west. Perhaps it is for the
very reason that it is new, he said what
he did. Nobody before him muttered
the same beliefs, because nobody could
be persuaded to SO Ill founded an utter
ance. This writer has invested his eff
fusion with the merit Of originality,
but at the same time facts and expert
ences prove that be might well have
paid attention to logic, ever though his
performance were not original. Rather
be truthful than novel. His lamenta-
tions are caught up by mauy papers of
the east, and thus spread broadcast.
They are to this effect: that the east
should ~deprecate the waste of money,
life and labor in dispensing the people
of the old states over the far west, in
the widest, most remote and secluded
regions. 1t is a loss to the east that
should be curtailed. The east should
be thoroughly settled beforehand.
We regret exceedingly that we have
not a portrait of the distinguished ass
who gave the breath of life to such nom
sense. But he has made his argument,
it passes current through a portion of
the press, and must consequently be
met. We cannot help wondering
where the above writer would have
been had his belief been held only dur
ing the past four hundred years. If it
is wrong to go to secluded regions, the
original settlers from Europe must
have sinned wonderfully strong against

DUB GARDEN CITY LETTER.
Severe Storm-The Authors Carnival in
the Exposition Building-The-
atrical Matters.
CHICAGO, Ills, April Q, 1879.


To the Editor of The Leader:
A terrible storm passed over the city
Wednesday night, and hung around all
day Thursday and up to Thursday
night. The weather was cold and
freezing, the thermometer sinking at an
alarming rate, and everybody in conse-
quence shivered and took the ''blues."
The spray was driven over the immense
piers at the mouth of the harbor, and
made more ice than has been there at
any time this winter. There was some
thing sublime in this-a wild, raging
sea, and ships tossing madly through
the surging and angry pillows. Fair
luna shed her light over the wild hour,
and the stars were shining, newly bur-
nished, it seemed, for the occasion.
Captain st. Peter, of the life station,
gave orders for his men to patrol the
beach to watch for wreckers, and their
vigils were kept until Thursday morn
ing. One vessel had her deck washed
overheard, her bulwarks stove, and her
hold filled with water. The crew mar
rowly escaped drowning. There were
many other important mishaps caused
by the terrific gale.
The last vestiges of the late political
contest have vanished, and business has
settled down to its accustomed level
again. The democrats carried the day,
and of course the adherents of that
body are jubilant over it's success. Let
us hope that all will turn out well.
An entertainment is to be given in
the exposition building on the 10Th
inst, the like of which has not been
known in this quarter of the globe be-
fore. 1t is to be termed the ''authors'
carnival" and is gotten up by u
most intelligent and enterprising ladies.
Last Thursday the manager arrived
from Buffalo with a car load of scenery
and accessories, and ten experienced
Gene painters, and the gorgeous show
will be opened on the above mentioned
date with much pomp and ceremony.
The entertainment was organized in
Buffalo five years ago, and was later
repeated in Syracuse, Rochester, De-
troit, st. Louis and Boston, and finally,
after having grown in magnitude and
Importance, 1t has found a place here.
The work of arranging and recon
structing has already begun, and the
vast building looks now like a bee hive.
The sales booths are arranged along the
sides Of the building. The south
end is reserved for a large military en-
and the north end for the
stage, which, when completed, will be
the largest ever erected in this country.
The cost of erecting the booths alone
has been $1,000. There are many of
them built in imitation of those at the
at Grenada, Spain, and a
of that grand structure viii be
brought before the spectator, in imita-
ton, as exact as the pen of the artist
make it. There will be also Turk
ish booths in all their Oriental coloring
and inlaid gliding, and Partisan fete
booths, and London old curiosity shops.
There will be sketches from the garden
Of the Tuilleries in Paris, which are
with exotics, Towering
trees, s~tatuary, and every rare and
