DIR. UNGER's CURE FOR DRUNKEN
NEss.-The claims of DR.. Unger for
a remedy for curing intemperance
would seem to be justified, q. we may
rely upon as good authority as the
Chicago Tribune for the evidence.
Mr.. Joseph Medill the editor. is said
to be strong indorser of the new
remedy. andt rom the editorial COM
mendations Oft in the columns of
the 1rsbsRe we conclude the reme-
day has produced some benefit in the
community already. It ia claimed
that the doctor cured $4,000 per-
sons of the worst form of intem-
peranee with it, and that this is the
first remedy ever discovered that
kills the disease and the incknation
to drink at one and the same time.
REMEDY.-Take one pound of
best, fresh, quill red Peruvian bark,
powder it, and soak it in one pint
of diluted alcohol Aftsrward strain
and ovoporate it down to half pint
Directions for its use: Dose, tea
spoonful every three hours the first
and saeond da<, and occasionally
the tongue between the
doses 1t acts like quinine. and the
patient can tell by headache if he
is getting toe much. The third day
take as previous, but reduce the |
dose to one-half tespoonful. After
ward reduce the dose to Is drops,
then down to 10, and thea to 5
drops. To make a cure. it takes !
from five to fifteen days. in extreme
cases thirty days. Seven days are !
about the average in which a cure
car, be effected.

can be obtained. Iu the winter,
when housed, man must supply il
for them
As hens have no teeth, and drop
their food into their crops anmasti-
Gated, in order to digest it
they must have constant access to
stones and gravel, which being
swallowed, take the place of teeth in
their stomach, hence they must
have a liberal supply of gravel.
Tie application OF sulphur sprin-
kled upon the fowls. while roosting
or otherwise, with o pepper
box, will destroy vermin. Coal oil
applied to their roosts in small
Quantities will also kill parasites.
Two or three drops of whale oil,
dropped occasionally on the back
of a hen or any other bird, will kill
lice.
The nests must OCCASIONALLY be re-
newed and kept clean. Straw is
better than hay. Tobacco stems
covered with straw in an excellent
prevention of insect breeding, es-
peclally when they are setting.
A few fowls in separate pens are
much NOR profitable and more easily
Kept healthy than in large numbers.

To determine the exact age Of eggs
dissolve about four ounces of COM
mon salt in quart of pure water,
and then immerse the egg. If it be

days old it will float in the liquid;

POINTS IN POULTRY KEEP
ING.

At meeting of the Lancaster,
Pa, Agricultural and Horticultural
Society, DR.. GieeLe read the follow
ing essay upon the subject of poul-
try raising:
For forty years, with occasional
Interruptions, it has been my for
tune, as boy or man. to care for
poultry. and some experience I have
gathered during these years I pro-
pose now to make public for all who
are Interested in the matter, and
for convenience sake / will arrange
the facts under different heads.
The eggs can be increased in size
and richness by proper feeding of
the fowls.
They require a variety of food.
and get excessively tired of one kind.
The eggs contain almost all the
constituents Of the human body,
and hence the hen must have varie-
ty of food to construct it.
The hens cease laying when i'm
properly fed or when in a diseased
condition.
They require warm, clean, prep
erlY ventilated house for the win
ter months.
IT by neglect, yermin infest the
bird roosts and house, they should
at once he removed. a. they are
deleterious to the health of these
friends of man.
The droppings of the hens should
be occasionally removed. They
should be covered with loan or
sand.
As hens require deal of water.
drinking only a small quantity at a
time, it should he supplied abund-
antly, and kept clean and fresh.
As they require and must have
carbonate and phosphate of lime
for their shells. it must be given to
them in unstinted quantities. and in
the ,most convenient manner for
them to pick and swallow into their
crops. These requirements will be
found in old plastering, broken oys-
ter she'll, and best of all in fresh
homes, with some of the gristle and
meat attached. It should be
.cut up on log with Ratchet every
day;,the strife made by the fowls to
oet at it when it is offered them
will plainly prove to you that they
like and need it. The instincts OF

RECIPES.

SpRAINs.-The white of an egg, in
which piece of alum about the size
of walnu. has been stewed until il
forms jelly. is q capital remedy
for sprains. It should be laid over
the spain upon a piece of lint and
be changed as often as it becomes
dry.
WORTH KNow1SG.--A teaspoonful
or more of powdered borax thrown
into tho bath tub while bathing will
communicate a velyety softness to
the water and at the same time in
vigorate and rest the bather. Per-
sons troubled with nervousness or
wakeful nights will find this kind Ct
bath great benefit.
A German forest-keeper, eighty
two years old, who "does not wish
to carry to the grave with him an
important secret" tells the Leipsic
Journal that during the past half
century, he has saved several men
and number of animals from The
horrible death of hydrophobia by
simply bathing the bitten surface, as
soon as possible. with warm vine
gar and water, and when this has
dried pouring on few drops of
muriatic acid.
NURSERY POWDER. Take one
ounce Of pulEerized hemlcci-bark,
one ounce of maghesia, and one
ounce of laundry starch; pulverize
finely by laying it upon u platter
and grinding with knife. Silt
through hair-sieve and put into
a tight box. and you have the same
article which costs you, if prepared
by chemists, q dollar and a quarter
per box. Any one can make Puff of
swans down or scraped linen lint,
if they think it better than pinch
Gfted from between the thumb and
finger.
MEDICINAL PROPERTIES OF ONIONS.
From our own experience, and
the observation of others, we can
fully endorse the testimony of the
st. Louis Miller. on the healthful
properties of the above esculent.
Lung and liver complaints are GER
tainly benefited, often cured, by a
free consumption of onions. either
cooked or raw. Colds yield to them
like magic. Don't be afraid of them.
Taken at night, all offence will be
gone by morning. and the good ef-
Iects will amply compensate for tie
,rifing annoyance. Taken regular
y, they greatly promote the health
# the lungs and digestive organs.
An extract made by boiling down
The juice of onions to q syrup. and i
aiken as q medicine. answers the
purpose very well, but fried, roasted
,r boiled onions are better. Onions
ire very cheap medicine, within
sverybody's reach. and are not by
INV means as "bad 20 take" as the
,ostly nostrums a neglec. of their
lse may necessitate.

A POINTED TEMPERANCE LECTURE
Four-lifths of the five thousand bodies that
reach tho Morgue in New York city every
year are sent there by drunkenness. The
jolly fellows who make fun of the anti-liquor
agitation, as they stand at bars and drink
good old whiskey--for OF course no other
kind is sold--know only the beginnings of
what rum can do but the rough pine boxes,
filled with what was once clear-headed, bright
eyed humanity, are just as directly the work
of drink as bar-room fun is. There may be
cities in the world where men can drink
spirits without injury to body and brain, but
New York is not one of them. In city
whore everybody, from the millionaire to the
day laborer, is being continually compelled to
begin more work than they can finish, what
ever increases physical or mental excitement
is positive curse. The Morgue's occupants
do not all come from the lower classes who
drink rum scions of honorable stock have
been found there too often, for alcohol is as
merciless leveler as death itself.

A VALUABLE CONAN expert coin deal
er says the most valuable modern coin is a
confederate states silver dollar, which is yalu-
ed at 1000. There we're only few of these
coins struck The confederate government
had the dies made and few coins were struck
at the New Orleans mint for the inspection Of
the confederate officials. They found. how
ever, that they bad no silver, and no more
was coined. JEFF Davis says he had one Of
these coins Oh his person when he was cap
tured but some one took possession Of the
does does not know who. Possibly it may be
in circulation yet as genuine coin of the
United States. One side of the coin was in
fact made with regular die used In the
New Orleans mint to strike off United States
silver dollars. The other side was especially
devised for the purpose. The legend reads :
Confederate States of America" There is
a shield, with bars and seven stars, surmount-
ed by liberty cap. The shield is iuclosed
by wreath composed Of cotton and sugar
stalks.

young woman who can Unfortunately pick

grading herself aud proclaiming a reck less
disregard for the rules of society, which is the
