20 MAKE MEAT TENDER.-If
che fact can be demonstrated to a
cook that tough meat may be
noade tender by softening the f.
ssres with the action of little vim
egar, there will be no reason why
sSh2 should thereafter send a tough
steak to the table. If she can be
convinced that it is better to turn
1t over on plate containing lit.
To vinegar, salad oil a d pepper,

Hours, instead of trying to make
IL tender by bat,ering it with
Eatliug pin or cleaver, and so :

q SMALL Pox REMEDY. "A
correspondent of the Stockton (Cal-
Irornia) Herald writes as follows /:
l. herewith append recipe which
mas been used to my knowledge in
hundreds of cases 1t will prevent
or cure the small pox, though the
pittings are filling When Jenner
discovered cow pox in England,
The world of science hurled an al
vanche of fame upGn his head but
when the most scientific school of
ane1icine in the world-that of
Es&ris--published this recipe as
paaacea for smallpox, it passed
unheeded. 1t is as unfailing as
Gate. and conquers in every in
stance. 1t is harmless when TAX
aa by well person. 1t will also
cure scarlet fever. Here is re-
ceipe as have used it, and cured
4DY children of scarlet fever; here
tits as ! have used it to cure the
smallpox /; when learned physi-
clans said the patient must die, ii
cured: Sulphale of Zinc, one grain;
>5oXgiove idigitalis), one grain ;
half teaspoonfal of sugar; mix
swith two teaspoonsful of water.
When thoroughly mixed add four
ounces of water. Take spoonful
every hour. Either disease will
disappear in twelve hours. For a
child smaller dose, according to
age. If counties would compel
their physicians to use this, there
would be no need of pest houses.
IF you value advice aud exper-
1efce, use this for that terrible
disease.
Tea should not be Infused for
more than seven minutes. Have
the water boiling. and use tea
spoonful of tea for each person
aud one over. Put the tea, in the
pct and pour the boiling water
over jtand let it stand for seven
I7lEuutes. If it is allowed to stand,
the tannin in the tea is drawn out,
and dyspepsia is the result.
a CHEAP AND TRUE BARoME-
'TER.-Put small quantity of fine
2y pglverised alum in a long, half.
ounce vial, and fill 1t with spirits
OF wine. When the atmosphere is
dry and clear, the spirits will be
'CSGhT as crystal but on the ap-
prOach of rain or bad weather, the
alum will rise in the center in the
form of spiral cloud, which is an
4;nfallible indication of rain or bad
weather.
