4 New Remedy &c. ce.sunr..c..

For some weeks past. SAYS the London
Lancet. the German medical pres, has been
discussing new Cure for phihisis. and
accounts. more or less accurate. Of the meth
cd and it, benefit, have found their way IN
to the daily and weekly papers, both on the
continent and in England and have excited
4 considerable amount of attention. DIR.
kroczak, the assistan, 10 Professor Rok-
itansky, Of Innsbruck. has been treating the
consumpti,e patients in hi. wards by the
new method. and j; j. said. with result.
that have far surpassed hi expectations but

The CANKER WoRM-On mild days.
the eanker-worms may make their appear
ance; and the females, which are wingless
and always crawl, must be prevented from
ascending the tree and depositing their eggs.
The devices for etiecting this are numerous
they generally consist in placing some bar
rier around the trunk which the insects can
not pass. Some have cutters of oil. Others
smooth surfaces which they can no, travel.
The simplest, and as effective as any. is
stout paper smeared with tar or printers
ink. Blowing dust and dead insects. will
bridge them over in time, and to be effective.
they must be looked to every few DAYS and
renewed as needed. The Tent Ca,erpillar's
egg. are deposited in rings on the small
twigs Of apple and other trees, near their
ends, and can be readily seen on dull DAYS
they should be cut Of, taking the end Of
the tvig. and burned, thus saving a much
larger amount Of work later in the season.

No part of the horse is of greater import

being himself not much on the

him when danger required. One
day a e ntleman whom the ed

fighting editor was outhe didn't

and while the editor and his Wis
itor were on the floor under the
desk, the former agreed to cor

man left. Pretty soon a gentle
man from the rural district came
in to give the editor a big squash
and get a notice, and about that
time the fighting editor return

him that the boss wanted help.
The man of war was quick to

an empty hearse was standing

Into the vehicle he famed the
farmer and shut the door. The
commotion he had created
scared the horses attaced to
the hearse, and they started off
on the dead run. People soon
noticed the runaway and ran
after it, and were shocked at be-
holding the hcarse. collile with
a ost and become a complete
wreck; and their horror at see
ing human body precipitated
to the sidewalk was only equal
ed by their anazement at seeing
it spring nimbly to its feet and
take off across the country yel-
ling murder. They thought it
was an attempt to bury a man
alive, and part of them went
and got the undertaken to lynch
him, while the rest pursued the
farmer, who was found hiding
in a swamp. And, after he was
brought in, it took over three
hours to get matters explained,
and then the farmer went before
a Justice of the peace and made
affidavit that he hoped to be
struck by lightning if he ever
entered a newspaper Office
again.-Boston Post.
