COMMON SALT FOR TEE THRoAT.-ln
these days, when diseases of the throat are
so universally prevalent, and IN 80 many
cases fatal, we feel It our duty to say a
word in behalf of most efectual, if not
positive, cure for sore threat. For years
past, indeed we may say during the whole
of q lite of more than forty years, we have
been subjected to sore throat, and more
particularly to dry hacking cough which
is not only distressing to ourself but our
trends 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 day, morning, noon
and night. We dissolved large table
spoonful of pure salt in about half sBal
tumbleriul of water. With this We gar
gle the throat most thoroughly just before
meal time. The result has been that du-
ring the entire winter we were not only
tree from coughs and colds, but the dry,
hacking cough has entirely disappeared
We attribute these satisfactory results
solely to the use of the salt gargle. and
most cordially recommend q trial of it to
those who are subject TO diseases OF the
throat. Many persons who have never
tried the salt gargle have the impression
that is unpleasant. Such is not the case.
On the contrary it is pie asant, and after
few days use no person who loves nice
clean mouth and first rate sharpener o!
: the appetite will abandon 1t.

A representative of the Lynn (Mass.
Item, In late ramble throughout
that city, gathered, among other
scraps of interest and information, the
following: The first place visited by the
reporter was the fruit store OF Sir. J..
Levett, No. 81 Market street, In response
TO a rumor that the proprietor had been
cured of the rheumatism by the great
remedy, Mr.. Levett not being In, the re-
porter had q talk with his son. Mr.. Levett
stated that his father had been cured of
an exceedingly bad attack of rheumatism
by the st. Jacobs Oil. He had the dis
ease in his right arm and shoulder, which
became perfectly helpless after being af-
fected q few hours. His pain was so
great that he could not rest in comfort OK
attend to business with any degree Of sat-
isfaction. After enduring this sort Of
thing for some time. he purchased q
bottle Of the Great German Remedy and
began to apply it He did not mince
matters at all, but just used the Oil tor all
it was worth. After pursuing this mode
of treatment for three days the pain was
banlshed and his father was in perfectly
healthy condition. de has never since
felt any rheumatic pain.

AGRICULTURAL.

FPUTT NoTEs.-The climate and soil OF
our country afford unequaled facilities for
the cultivation Of fruit. A rich treasure
hes within the reach OF It's inhabitants In
the profuslon of delicious kinds which sue
cesslve months may be made to supply.
And vet but few have availed themselves
fully of these advantages. While travers-
ing our country, neat comfortable homes
are seen everywhere Interspersed, and plen'
ty is Indicated by loaded orchards and
abundant harvests. And yet how few of
the prosperous owners are aware, fully, OF
the rare delicacies their fertile lands are
capable of yielding. Apples of choice Sc
lectlons including the early harvest. the
Fall and Winter varieties can be grown to
last through the year. Peaches In rich
profuMon from the loaded boughs, the mel
low shower cen be obtained for ten sue
cessive weeks. Plums, rich, Juicy and
bloom-dusted may be had fresh from the
tree from early wheat harvest until the
ground freezes in Autumn.
Among the thousand varieties of pears,
that have fruited in this country, selections
can be obtained that ripen from early har-
vest through Summer and Fall until mid
winter. How few there are that pracu-
cally know that whole yearly circle OF
fruit Is within their reach, beginning with
strawberries, raspberries and cherries for
early summer including plums, apricots,
peaches, and nectarines for Summer and
Autumn and closing with high favored
pears, apples and grapes extending the
season of ripening through Autumn and Win
ter and far into the succeeding Spring.
We are pleased to announce that the number
Cicultivators is rapidly increasing who may
place upon their tables many delicious sorts
on almost any day of the year. 1t Is wei
known that the man who plants trees,
plants for himself as well as for his chill
dren. BY bad management trees may not
prove source of profit to the planter.
Young trees surrounded with weeds and
gratis could not be expected to flourish.
No good farmer would expect to raise corn
in his meadow. The fruit tree when plant
ed under such circumstances cannot be ex-
pected to thrive. Trees planted in rich
mellow soil prudently and judiclously cul,
uvated will extend their branches under
copious loads of f1uit. The profits OF fruit
culture is beginning 10 be well known. BY
ordinary management good apple orchards
yield better return than the best farm
crops. We would recommend to those that
own lands and have no orchard to plant
one this Spring.

CHICKEN SALAD.-Boil fowls tender
and pick clean, using no skin; do not cut
chickens IN too small pleces-must not be
hashed: to one chicken put twice and .
half the weight of celery, CIT IN pieces of
about one quarter of an inch; mix Thor
oughly, and put chicken and celery on the
ice. Dresslng-the yolks of four fresh
eggs with the yolks of two hard boiled
eggs. Rub these as smooth as possible
before introducing the oil; good measure
of oil is tablespoonful to each yolk of
fresh egg. All the art consists in intro
duclng the oil by degrees; you never can
make good salad against time. When
the oil is we'll mixed put in salt-two good
heaping teaspoonfuls; good, dry table salt
IS necesslty-and one teaspoonful Of
white ground pepper. Never put IN salt
or pepper before this stage or the process,
because the salt and pepper would coaGu-
late the albumen Of the eggs, and you can
not get the dressing smooth. One table
spoonful of vinegar, added gradually, with
a teaspoonful of tarragon vinegar. Make
the dressing IN a vegetable dish, large
enough to hold the whole salad; when you
have mixed your chicken and celery IN il
turn it into your salad bowl. Mix very
thoroughly; clean the sides of your salad
bowl with a cloth or a bit of bread-a
smeary salad bowl Is an abomination.
stand the whole ina cool place until ready
10 serve. Too much dressing is really g
greater mistake than too little. The crisp
ness of celery in salad is very evanescent
and a chicken salad should be eaten short
ly after dressing. If great deal of salad,
as for a supper, has to be made, work W
your dressing halt hour beforehand,
and mix when wanted. If CHECKER
salad stands too long 1t loses all its excel
lence. There ought to be no red peppel

chicken salad is called an olio. Three
years ago chicken salad was introduced IL
London, with the most marked success.

SPIDERS OBsTRUCTING THE TELEGRAPH.
One OF the chief hindrances to telegraph
ing in Japan is the grounding of the cur
rent by spider lines. The trees bordering
the highways swarm with spiders, which
spin their web everywhere between the
earth, wires, posts, insulatoTs and trees.
When the spider webs are covered with
heavy dews they become good conductors
and ruD the message to earth. The only
way to remove the difficulty Is by employ
ing men to sweep the wires with brushes
of bamboo, but as the spiders are more
numerous and persistent than the brush
users, the difficulty remains always seri-
GUS one.
PLvTE POLISHING PASTE English me-
chanic: Mix together ounces spirits tur-
pentine, Q ounces spirits of WINE, l ounce
spirits of camphor, and ounce spirits of
ammonia. To this add one pound of
whiting, finely powdered and stir until the
whole is of the consistency of thick cream.
To use this preparation, with clean
sponge cover the silver with it, so as to
give it coat like whitewash. Set the
silver aside until the paste has dried into a
powder; then brush 1t of, and polish with
chamols leather. A cheaper kind may
be made by merely mixing spirits of wine
and whiting together.

Why SOME ARL ULk.-Cleam is allow
ed to mold and SPOIL. Silver spoons are
used to scrape kettles. The scrubbing
brush is left In the water. Nice handled
knives are thrown IN hot water. BroOms

Dried fruit Is not taken care of in season

are thrown out that would make excellent
hash for breakfast. Coffee, tea and spices
are left to stand open and lose their strength.
Pork spoils for the want of salt and because
the brine wants scalding.

GROUND peas or beans are economical
for feeding owing to the great saving thev
effect. Farmers are tempted ia part with
them at g.. 10 bushel, and they often
bring more than that sum; but if we will
stop and reflect that this meal, mixed half
and-half with cornmeal, will enable us to
dispense with one-third the quantity of
hay, great saving is made through the
winter. For young calves nSthing can
equal it. If the farmer has no convenience
for grinding them the peas or beans can be
cooked into ''mash" in the ordinary way
and If thus given literally to stock, espe-
cially to the younger portion, Will push
them rapidly forward. Pigs will grow
fatter on it than on anything else. Young
