Salt For the Throat.

In these days when diseases of the
throat are so universally prevalent,
and in so many cases fatal, we feel
it our duty to say word in behalf
of a most effectual, if not positive
cure OF sore throat.
For many years past, indeed we
may say during the whole life Of
more than forty years, wehave been
subjected to sore throat, and more
particularly to Il dry, hacking cough
which is not only distressing to our.
selves, but to our friends and those
with whom we are brought into
business contact.
Last fall we were induced to try
what virtue there was in common
salt. We commenced by using it
three times i day, morning, noon
and night. We dissolved 4 large
tablespoonful of pure table salt in
about half a tumbler of water. With
this we gargle the throat most thor
oughly Just before meal time.
The result has been that during
the entire winter VIC were not only
free from coughs and colds, but the
dry, hacking cough has entirely dis
appeared.
We attribute these satisfactory re-
suits solely to the use of the sals
gargle, and most cordially recon-
mend a trial of it to those who are
subject to diseases of the throat and
chest.
Many persons who have never
tried the salt gargle have the impress
sion that it is unpleasant. Such is
not the case. On the contrary, it is
pleasant, and after few days use,
no person who loves a nice clean
mouth and a first rate sharpener of
the appetite will abandon it.

All Paris says a correspondent,
has been deeply stirred by the shock
ing fate of a little girl of nine, Geor-
gette Babin, the only child Of a
prosperous green grocer of Rue Bel
zunce. She attended 4 day school,
to which her fdther every morning
took her and fetched her back at
noon. 4 few days ago they were
walking home, hand in hand, reioic-
ing in the bright sunshine that had
come out after the snowfall. The
streets they passed were busy with
traffic and -squadrons of sweepers
who were pushing heaps OF snow
towards sewer traps purposely open
ed to receive them. At the corner
Of the Rue Har.gilee the child let
90 her father nand to tighten her
muffler. Just then a wagon drawn
by restive horse rumbled by. Ba-
bin instinctively moved backwards,
thinking his daughter was by his
side, but when he turned round TO
look for her she had disappeared.
1t was evident that in backing out
of the horses way she had fallen
into yawning sewer which was Of
great depth.
Cries for help were heard for 4
moment and then ceased. The
child had clung doubtless to the
edge Of the subterranean platform
and had been sye,t away by the
force of the current, which was
swift and swollen. The sweepers
who focked around could scarcely
restrain Babin from jumping in af-
ter his child, who must have been
instantly drowned. The district
fire brigade was summoned and
came Immediately, bnt too late, and
the police commissary of the quar-
ter telegraphed to the oyerseers of
sewers to watch all the gratings be-
tween the Rue Hautville and As
nieres. A fireman was lowered
with ropes into the sewer and re-
manned immersed for twenty min
utes. Others ran along the platform
to explore, but unavailingly. The
poor child's body had not been
caught by any of the gratings and
has probably been devoured by the
rats.

Good Advice.

If you keep your, stomach, liver
and kidneys in perfect order, you
will prevent and cure by far the
greater part of the ills that afflict
mankind in this or any section.
There is no medicine known that
will not do this as quickly or surely
as Parker's Ginger Tonic, which will
secure perfectly natural action OF
these important organs without in
terfering the least with your daily
duties. See ad. I. 10

Cherry Trees.

\ few words Of advice in planting
out and protecting cherry trees may
not be out of place at this time,
when people are making up their
lists of fruit trees, for transplanting
the approaching spring. There is
no tree that requires more careful
handling and setting and attention
than the cherry. Frequently those
being transported from a long dis
tance suffer sufficient injury to rem
der them unfit for planting. In our
own experience we have met with
repeated loss in this way. The worst
OF the disappointment is, that after
being set out the tree will give Just
enough signs of growing to induce
one to let it stand until the whole
summer and fall are past, thus de
priving US of two opportunities to
throw it out and plant another in
its place. In all such cases we
would advise in the first place the
cutting off of nearly the whole of
the top, and then If it does not in
the course Of few weeks give de-
cided evidence of fresh growth, to
remove it entirely. We have saved
several by this sharp pruning, which
are now fine, healthy trees.
But, in the first place, set out no
cherry tree that has not full sup
ply of roots, especially ofsmall ones,
and the stem of which is not free
from bruises, from which they viii
not recover. Set with the mosteare,
spreading out the roots their full
length, and stake them firmly but
so that they will not rub by the ac-
ton of the wind. Then cut away
all superhuous top branches of
which each one must judge for him
self and be careful that in digging
and grubbing abeut the trees no IN
Jury is done to the roots or bark.
