10 RELIEVE CATARRH.-AW writer in
| an exchange gives the following eight
hints for relieving fcatarrh
Inha!e through the noserils strong solu-
ton of salt in water. l wouid advise as
strong a solution as an ounce to the pint,
though some will tolerate more.
In this strength it is not painful, but acts
as tonic and astringeEt, relieving conges-
| ton, and preventing the en1osmose effect
which would accompany the use of pure wa
ter or weaker solutions.
But it is a mistake to suppose that salt
water will cure all cases of catarrh.
When the condition is one of chronic con-
gestion simply with acTid secretion, 1t may
! be sufficient; but in the worse forms, where
| there is deep seated Inflammation with ul-
/ as stimulant, and even esharotic solutions
are requisite to effect a cure.
! Iuhale the smoke from pine tar. Get a
! pint or more of pure pine tar (not the OLD
| from ship chandler heat n poker red hot,
and stir the tar with it; a thick smoke will
| rise.
| Hold your head over it, keep your mouth
| shut, and iuhale through the nostrils heat
| the poker three OF four times, until he room
1 is filed with smoke, shut doors and win
! dOws, and remain in the room as long as pos
| sible.
| 1t is good plan to smoke mullen in ones
| bedroom just before retiring after smoking
| open n window from the top; the smoke
| slowly escapes but enough remains to be of
! some benefit.
! Mullen leaves should be thoroughly dri ed
| and then used the same as tobacco in pipe
The smoke should be pressed to the back
of the mouth and exhaled through the nose
once or twice week will suffice and should
be persevered in.
| If properly cured there will not be an acrid
eXudation. a little piece Of sponge in the
bowl of the pipe will prevent the juices from
| passing into the mouth.
Mullen will be stronger gathered before
the frost iuj ures it, but viii answer even i
dug from under the snow. II will also bt
found an excellent remedy for cold in the
| head.

SINGULAR. II TRUE.

About three years ago one of the nos
famous leaders in the spiTitualiStiCr r-Z
was Slade, the medium and lecture.
lie was very daring in his exploits and
became notorious Throughout the c0Uu-
for his audacity and the number of 1E-
sons whom he drew under his influence
lie made a considerable amount L
money here, and in the latter part {
1876 he went to England. wherehe c-
tinued his career as a medium. and -
some time he was a rival of Home 81
lucky medium who married a richWlr
whom he had taught to believe
''spirits. " Finally Slade was aIres-
and was tried in London. on Jauu-
%, 1871, for fraudulently obtaII
money by means of the unlawful T7z
he obtained from his occupation
medium. 1t was charged that as spin
ualism was not a belief sanctioned &
the law, it was a deluSiOn and a frau
and its use to eXtort money from E
credulOuS was against public polio
The trial brought up the question IS
whether SpiritualiSm was q fraud
not, and the case became the talk 0f tl
day, and Slade was given a wOTldE-
reputation thereby. Slade was f1m
guilty of fraudulent practices. and vl
sentenced three months impTis0nmE
at hard labor, but his sentence was at.E

Slade went to Australia and the
came to San Francisco. \ few lE

the statement was made by the medla
man that Slade, the medium. Wa,

y New MEDICAL THEoRY.-A Min

y NEW MEDICAL THEORY.-A Min
nesOta man writes to the Salem Mass. J
Gazette as follows:
a discovery in the treatment of 1iphtheria
has been made here. A you1g man, whose
arm had been amputated, was attacked with
diphtheria before!healing took place, ard in
stead of the matter incident to that disease
being deposited in the throat, the greater
portion appeared on the wounded arm, and
the diphtheria was very light and easily
managed. His doctor profited by this, and
in his next case of diphtheria blistered his
patients chest, and on this blistered part the
chief deposits appeared. This was also an
easy case of the disease. The theory Of the
doctor is that diphtheria usually appears in
the throat because of the thinness of the lin
ing of the throat Hence, when the blister
breaks the skin upon any other part of the
body, the disease appears there.

most cfficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.

If is so mild as to be harmless even

to purge out from the system those

The reputation it enjoys is derived

which prominent ply sicians all over

Certificates attesting its virtues

A New SILK Worm.

European silk producers have
never had any great success, and lat
terly they have met with heavy
losses. The greater portion of the
silk needed in manufactures is inn
ported from China and Japan, and it
is of poor quality. The people of
those countries jealously keep the
finest products for home use. As q
consequence the French manufacture
ers are constantly on the lookout for
substitute for the silk worm, and at
last it seems as if they had found it.
An imported moth has been natural
lied living in state Of freedom and
reproducing its kind without any in
reference from man. 1t is to be
seen flying about in the month of
June in the squares and gardens of
Paris, where the ailanthus tree grows.
In winter the cocoons of pretty
pearly gray color may be seen hang
ing from lcafess branches of the trees.
This insect is known as the attaius
cynthia and was introduced in France
by the Acclimatization Society under
the direction of Gueyin-Mineville.
The cocoon is not very rich in silk,
and being strongly incrusted is diff.
cult to unwind. In unwinding, only
a single thread is yielded, too fine to
be used, and requiring expensive and
special machinery but M. lie Doux
has partly succeeded in separating
the gum from the silk, and can wind
from several cocoons at one time, Sc.
curing threads Of raw silk suitable for
weaving. The raising Of this new
silk worm entails neither care nor ex-
pense, as the moths look after them.
selves, and it is only necessary to
collect the coooons. The ailanthus
tree is rapid grower, has very heavy
foliage, and is well adapted to grow
in waste places. The silk is said to
be OF remarkably beautiful tint. The
supply will be limited 80 long as CO.
coons have to be sought from the
high trees. 1t might, however, be
procured in the way that silk is pro.
cured a: present, by feeding the
worms in boxes or shelves.
