THE FAMILY DOCTOR.

As a cure for nail run into the foot,
take fresh beet, thoroughly pounded,
and apply to tho part frequently.
To cure toothache put piece of cot
ton dipped in collodiop into the
tooth. When hardened IL will adhere
strongly and stop the pain.
The following is said to be valuable
remedy for rheumatism: Peel off the
outside bark of the alder, scrape off the
green bark that is under il, and stew in
lard until ii is crisp. This is q most
valuable salye in cases of burns, sores,
etc.
A felon can be cured by putting on
blister of Spanish flies, as large as a five-
cent piece. This will draw the felon TO
the surface. Then prick with needle,
and then poultice with bread and milk
for three hours; afterward dress with
castor oil.
1t is seldom that bleeding at the nose
~ btElouSi Dut cases OCCUR III WHICH IL
continues so long as to cause anxiety
and render il desirable that something
should be done. Instead of bending
forward and lowering the head, as per-
sons with nose-bleed are 30 apt to do,
an upright position should be assumed,
with the head thrown back and the
hands raised above the head. Ice may
be applied TO the nose and to the back
of the neck, and If the bleeding still
persists, ice water or solution OF alum
may be thrown into the nose with a
syringe. II further measures prove
necessary, they should be left to the
physician.

Too Hot.

A writer in the Portland Transcript
gives the folio wing laughable descrip-
tion OF the trouble toad got himself
into by not taking care what he ate.
He swallowed q wasp thinking no
doubt that 1t was large but defense
less fy.
The realization of his mistake came
when the wasp began pricking his in
ternsl organs. as a guilty conscience
pricks sinner.
The toad stood on his hind legs and
reached frantically down his throat after
that wasp. Failing to dislodge 1t he
turned three somersaults in manner
that would have rivaled the boss tum-
bier in n circus.
Then he stood up and exclaimed
Woo.ooduc Woo.ooduc !" which was
supposed to be call for a stomach
pump or quick emetic.
He then made several efforts to stand
on his head, but was unsuccessful.
Next he pulled out his sides until he
looked like baseball with legs to it.
Imitation didn't hit the case, and was
soon abandoned.
Again he reached down his throat, but
his arm was too short to reach the spot
where the wasp was operating.
His head began to swim, and he
whapped over on bis back and clawcd
the air like . man overheard. The
wasp was evidently unable to continue
his inAiction OF punishment, and the
toad began to feel better.
He got upon his feet and with fore
foot examined his ribs upon either side.
Finding them all in place. he stretched
himself to his utmost height two or
three times to see II bis legs we're In
working order, aud then hoped . hop
or two to make assurance sure.
Being satisfied that he was all there,
he gave croak OF relief and hoped
under the tomato vines.

4 Wedding Amer All.

The Cleveland Leadcr reports com
edy in real life which took place in
Erie, Penn. The heroine was q buxom
young woman, whose husband died
year ago. When she bad worn her
weeds six months the would-be hero Of
the play came a-wooing, and his attcn.
tions not being distasteful to the widow
she consented to marry him in twelve
months and day from the date of her
first husbands death. The happy day
come at last, and The ceremony was to
take place at the brides house. 4 mag
nificent wedding feast was prepared, and
about sixty guests were invited. The
hour appointed for the marriage was
z. ". In the forenoon the bridegroom
elect went off to invite few friends in
the country, who had been forgotten.
The afternoon mail brought q postal
card from him, stating that he had con-
scientious scruples about marrying a
woman 80 recently widowed. He would
make it matter of prayer, and would
abide the result OF his feelings when
through. She was not to take this as
positive deelina.ion to marry, but il he
did not arrive at 6 o'clock p. NJ, she
might consider the marriage of" The
widow did no. faint, nor go into hyster-
les, but donned her wedding attire and
welcomed her guests with a smiling
face. At 6 o'clock all the guests we're
there, and with them, of course, the
minister; but no bridegroom had ap-
peared. With unrufIed countenance
the expectant bride "called the meeting
to order" and read aloud the recreant
lovers card. When the storm of sur
prise and denunciation had subsided she
added "But that needn't spoil the din
ner," and thereupon the guests fell to
banquetiny :, none more heartily than
the mistress Of the house herself. When
the table was cleared dancing began,
and an elderly bachelor led the German
with the disappointed ~ bride. He be.
came so enamored of her that within an
hour he proposed; he vas accepted. the
minister was recalled; and at IL 7. II.
the wedding took place, with the new
bridegroom. But scarcely had the bri-
dial kiss been bestowed when in rushed
the o.consciau tioua lover who after a
protracted season of prayer, had con-
cluded to come back and we'd. He was
just in time to congratulate tho bride,
not his nov, but another's, and then
hastily stole away, resolved within to
stifle conscience ere he sought another
bride.

When Charles Hampstead saw his
Mt enc d wife's house in flames, he sug-

her, and with her consent they sought
the house of preacher between Huron
and Grindstone cities, where they were
soon made man and wife.
4 man leaped from Llun into the
lake and found himself close behind a
large bear. They remained in company
under the bank nearly all night, and
the bear seemed as humble as dog.
Deer sought The compauionship of cattle
and horses, aud paid no attention 20
persons rushing past them.
Near Bad Axe a family had a crazy
son. When the smoke began 10 darken
the country he got excited, and on the
dark day two hours before the flood
came me mounted horse and galloped
up and down the country crying out
that the Judgment day had come. Later
he was seen rus ing headlong into the
flames.
Twenty people spent a night
and a day in n corn field above Rich
mondville. To windward of them was
q field Of peas, and when the flames got
into this the party we're pelted for
hours with hot peas, which were shelled
by the fire. Wet blankets, constant
vigilance and the standing corn saved
the people; but in other localities
where persons sought the same refuge
they were smothered and burned.
A sevcn-mile ride for life under most
extraordinary circumstances was u Il ex-
perience of a farmer near Forester.
He gathered fifteen persons in his
wagon and started for the beach. The
fire was close behind them as they
started, so close that the dresses Of

for IL, and yet even on a good road the
wheel would have crushed down in CO.
ing twenty rods without it. The horses
pushed over that seven miles of rough
road at wild run and the wheel stood
firm. A delay of five minutes at any
point of the road would have given
fifteen more victims to the flames which
followed on behind.
