| SALT roe TIE rHRoAT.--In these
! days when diseases Of the throIt are so
universally prevalent, and in so many
cases fatal, we feel 1t our duty to say a
word IN behalf OF most efiectual, If not
positive, cure for sore throat. For
many years last, indeed, we may say
during the whole OF a life of more than
forty years, We have been subject to a
dry, hacking cough, which is not only
distressing To oafseIf, but to our friends
aud 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 d day, morning noon and
night. We dissolved large tablespoon
full of pure table salt in about half a
small tumblerful of water. With this
We gargled the threat most thoroughly
Just before meal time. The result has
been that during the entire winter we
were not only free from coughs aud
colds, but the dry, hacking cough had
entirely disappeared. We attribute
these satisfactory results solely to the
use of salt gargle, and most cordially
recommend a trial OF it to those who are
subject to diseases OF the thr at. Many
persons who have never tried the salt
gargle have the impression that it is I'M
pleasant, but after few days. use no
person who loves nice, clean mouth,
and FIRST rate sharpener OF the appe-
tile, Will abandon it. - The Household.
PoIsoNs. al have great horror
OF being poisoned without exactly I'M
derstahdlng what it is. Poison is dis
organization of flesh and blood, or both.
Polsolss are OF two kinds one, the re-
suit Oh medicinal agents taken into the
stomach or circulation, the other the re-
suit oil bites or stlngs OF living creatures.
| will now state two ideas, which, if
generally known and remembered would
save thousands of lives every year. If
YOU have swallowed poison, whether
laudauum. arsenic, or any other thing
poisonous, put tablespoonful OF ground
mustard in glass OF water, cold or warm,
stir and swallow quickly, and instantane-
ously the contents OF the stomach will
be thrown up, not allowing the poison
GUS substance timeeto be absorbed and
taken into the blood; and, as soon as
vomiting ceases, swallow the white of
one or two new eggs for the purpose of
antagoniZing any small portion OF the
poison which may have been left behind.
Let the reader remember the principle,
which is, to get the poison out of you as
soon IS possible there are other things
whichwill have speedy emetic effect,
but the advantage of mustard is, it Is
always at hand, it acts instantaneously
without any after medicinal effects. The
use Of the white OF an egg is that, al
though it does not nullify all poisons, it
antagonizes q larger number than any
other agent so readily attainaDle. But,
while taking the mustard or egg, send
for physician these are in order to
save time, as the difference of twenty
minutes is often death.

THE discussion OF the value OF SIM
pie skim milk diet in Bright's disease

THE actual constituents of beef tea
and its physiological effects are being
tested abroad. Mr.. Masterman's an
alysis shows it has chemical compost

shows similar results that it contains
only about per cent of solid matters

cular and blood decom osition and DIR.
Launder Burton questions whether beef
tea may not under some circumstances
be really poisonous. 1t is certainly
merely a stlmulant and not food
Dr. Foote's Health Monthly.
ACCORDING to the Practitioner SIM
pie and effective remedy for removing
the pain of wounds caused by burns or
scalds is saturated solution of bicar-
Donate of soda In either plain or cam
phorated water. To apply the remedy,
all that is necessary Is to cut a piece OF
lint or old soft rag, or even thick blot
ting paper, of size sufficient to cover
the burned or scalded parts, and to keep
it constantly well wetted with the sodaic
lotion so as to prevent its drying. By
this means it usually happens that all
pam ceases in from quarter to half an
hour, or even IN much less time. When
the main part of limb, such as the
hand aud forearm or the foot and leg,
has been burned, it is best, when prac-
ticable, to plunge the part at once into a
jug or pail or other convenient vessel
filled with the soda lotion, and keep it
there until the pain subsidies, or the limb
may be swathed or encircled with sur
geon' cotton bandage previously soaked
In the saturated solution and kept con-
stantly wetted with it, the relief being
usually immediate, provided the solution
be satufsssd sad cold.

AN enthusiastic baseball journal has
the following: g THE coming American
will be an athlete. With perfectly de-
veloped muscles and hardy physique,
his brain will be healthier. The game
of base ball is the physical salvation Of
the American people, as cricket, the fox
hunt and other outdoor games are the
strength Of England" What an athlete
the coming American will be if he de-
pe2ds on base ball He will be knock
kneed cripple, with no joints but what
are dislocated, and black patch over
one eye, and crooked nose. We always
feel athletic after leaning against bar
rel and witnessing baseball match,
and the muscles seem stronger, but we
always resolve to hire man to go and
lee the next match for us.--Peck'S Sun.

 HARR1s3URG, June 21.-The Republican caucus was called to order in the State Libra " room at l2 o'clock by Alexander P. Brown of Philadelphia, and Judge Fetterman, of Aneghany county, was made president. Judge Jessup, of Susquehanna county, offered the following resolution:
 Resolved, That the State Executive com mittee, when organized, be requested to issue 8 call for new convention under the new rules to complete the State ticket, with full pow-r to take such action on the ticket d. ready nominated as shall be for the best ln- terest of the Republican party of the State
 He believed that unless something was done toward patching up the grievances of the Independents that the Democrats would carry the State, both on the legislative as we'll as the State ticket. He said that the charge that the nominations of this conven- tion were dictated by one man would have to be met. He denied that it was so, but yet the Independents made the charge, and it was believed in many places. He was Tn favor of 8 new convention out and out. It was no sign of weakness on the part of this convention to endeavor to heal the breaches in the party. Samuel B. Huey, Of Philadel- phia, spoke also in favor of this resolution.
 R B. Carnahap, of Allegheny, thought there was no principle upon which this Independent move ment was founded. A body of men met in Philadel- phia he said, without credentials, and without st1tuency, and nominated ticket in opposition to the Republican party. He against any effort to placate these disappointed men.
 After much discussion a resolution was adopted in the place of Judge ssup's that the convention pro- ceed to complete the ticket by the nomination of CongreF Large and that they recommend the Republican state committee to ado all honorable 46a fO secure success in November.

College SOcieties-The Rights of Facul-

 ing Them.
 INDIANAPOLIS, June 21.-The officers of Purdue College, at Lafayette, about year since ordered the disbandment of all secret college societies and dismissed the students who refused to acknowledge their authority to take such action and resorted to the State courts to prevent the order being carried out, the college being State agricultural college. The case was ably argued in the lower courts and the college authorities were sustained. The students appealed the case to the Supreme Court where it was again argued and the court holds that the institu- tion cannot refuse to receive a student on the ground that he is member of frater- nity, but that the faculty has the right of prohibiting fraternities within the college if such societies in their judgment interfere with the duties of the students or the proper government of the institution. The case has attracted considerable attention throughout the country.

 The arguments in the Oneida Community case were finished in the forenoon.
 In the afternoon arguments were begun in the case of s. A. Cotter < Co.,, of Ansonia, vs The New Haven and Seymour Copper company. The contest is over patent is- sued in 1869 to Andrew O'Neil, the patent so- licitor, now of this city. for planished copper for the product, not the process. The An- sonia Brass and Copper works have made much of the copper. In 1876 or thereafter the New Haven Copper works began the man. ufacture. They were immediately sued ln equity for an infringement. This IS the case argued in part yesterday. O'Neil's product is described as follows Timing one ride of an ordinary sheet of copper with hot solder discolors the other side, giving it mottled, ungainly appearance. O'NeiPs invention re moves the discoloration, gives it a bright pol ish; it is then cold rolled. The New Haven Copper company say that there was no nov city in this product, and that it was not pat entable The action involves $20, 900 or S25,- 900.
