Making Sauer-Kraut-

The best we ever ate we made ourselves for
many years, and for considerable time with our
own hands, and always from Savoy cabbage. 1t
was manufactured in this wise: In the first
place let your stand holding from half-bar-
rel to Q barrel, be thoroughly scalded ont; the
cutter, the tub, and the stamper all well scalded.
Take off all the outer leaves of the cabbages,
halve them, remove the heart, and proceed with
the cutting. Lay some clean leaves at the bot
tom of the stand, sprinkle with handful of salt,
fill in half bushel of the cut cabbage, stamp
gently until the juice just makes its appearance,
then add another handful of salt and so on IN
til the stand is full. Cover over with cabbage
leaves, place on top clean board fitting the
space, and on top of that stone weighing ten
fifteen pounds. Stand away in cool place, and
when hard freezing comes remove to the eel
lar. 1t will be ready for use in from four to six
weeks. The cabbage should be cut tolerably
coarse. The Savoy variety makes the best
ticle, but it is only half as productive as the
Drumhead and Flat Dutch.-GrmdRtorp Tele-

SUMNER CoMPLAINTs.-In nine cases out of
ten these complaints can be checked, if taken in
season, by wearing flannel over the region of
the bowels Until the British army in India
was compelled to wear flannel during the entire
hot season it was constantly reduced by diarrh9a.
Diet is far more potent than medicine in curing
this disorder, and when duly assisted by flannel
and enforced, quiet rarely fails to cure if used
promptly. Flannel should be worn by night as
well as by day.

THAT BLOODY SHIRT.
BY J. q. HANLIN.


They tell US the acts Of the late bloody war
Should be buried in OblviOns night;
That the mantle Of peace should cover the scar
OF our brother who fell in the fight.
We took their hand,
And all through the land
Gave amnesty, pardon, and grace;
And they came, one and ALL
To Congressional Hall
Each in his dishonOred place;
And with faces all brazen-hands reeking with blood
Their traitOrous schemes they assert
And because refuse to crawl in their mud,
We arc Haunting that old Bloody Shirt"
That old Bloody Shirtr Ave but who dabbled its grI
With hearts blood of patriots trnel
Whose hand sent the bullet that shut out the day
OF that soldier, while wearing the blue
Who gave loud yell,
As that patriot fell,
Giving up his dear life on the sod
Whose shout was the last
Ger the dying passed,
As he yielded his soul to mis- Godl
Twas you who first woke in prosperous land
A wsr-cry, unholy unjust.
Twas you who first raised traitors foul hand,
To trSil our dear flag in the dust,
It's dear to our hearts a. our own starry hag
And well honor and shield it the same.
We've bathed it with tears though It's but old rag
For il brings to
shot through the heart
While doing his part
Gainst you and yeiir rihe-olub crew;
And we n never desert
That odd Bloody Shirt"
That was worn by the brave boy in blue.
That der Bloody Shirt with its crimsonous STAIN
In the face of the Kuklux should stand;
And thetH IL should STAY like God's curse upon Cain,
While they've breath to defsme our dear land.

Poison In the Peach-Stone.

A fatal case of poisonsng by peach-stones,
which is noted in the French prpers having
recently occurred in Paris, should serve a
warning to families in which children are allow
ed to look after themselves for hours at time.
Probably very few adults know how poisonous
peach-stones are. The victim of the recent acct
dent in Paris secreted the stones of number of
peaches, and, obtaining hammer, when left
alone, broke them open industriously and ate
ed by hydrocyanic (prussic) acid. Since the
peach season is now upon us, it is well to ex-
plain what quantity of poison the peseh-stone
possesses. Writers tOxicology state that
ounce of the kernels contains about one grain of
pure prussic acid, and this quantity, il is well
known, is sufficient to kill any adult person.
Even two-thirtls of grain has very often proved
fatal, and, indeed, may well be regarded
fatal dose for any child.-ScieHtifc ImdicdR.
