An exchange says: An eminent physician
of Chicago says he cures ninety mine out of
every hundred cases of scarlet fever, by
giving the patient warm lemonade with gum
in hot water and laid upon the stomach,
should be removed as rapidly as it becomes
cool. Sweet oil applied internally to the
throat and mouth is also highly recon-
mendsd.

There is a great weather prophet in Can
ada. The Norristown Herald speaks of the /
great prophet as follows: 90 A Montreal pa
per prints Mr.. Vennor's predictions for
forty days, and the actual weather for the
same time, in parallel columns, and shows
days out of the forty. And this is correct
often enough-for a weather prophet. We
couldn't expect him to be correct forty days
out of five. A man would have TO devote
a lifetime to the weather business before he
could strike that high average"
The McVeytown Journal says: We have
received from Mr.. A. J. North, Atchison,
Kansas, of the firm of Lukens & North, a
sample package of corn which he says was
raiseG by Samue! Page, native Of Juniata
county and good farmer, who lives ten
miles west Of Atchison. The corn was
planted on wheat stubble after the grain had
been cut July lst, thus securing two crops
from the same soil in one season. Mr..
North states that the crops and fruit are
looking very promising. Lukens \ North's
mill runs day and night, and everything is
in Kansas. We should be glad
TO hear from Mr.. n. more from frequently.
The Crawford County System will be
voted for and against, by the Democracy of
this county at their next primary election. /;
1t will be a warm election among them, and
the membership will doubtless all be ont,
for those who favor the system are in deep (
that the Delegate System shall go 1
under, and those who favor the Delegate
ystem are equally in earnest that the Craw-
ford County System shall not come to the
surface. The Republicans have had the
system in use a number of years in this /,
county, and are pleased with it TO such
degree that last year they amended it and /,
made the Chairman of the County Commit /
lee elective by the popular vote Of the
party at the primary election. Candidates !
like 1t; they go 10 the people direct for I
their nomination, without having to run the
GASrLEr of a delegate convention. I
