Az ECONOMICAL TABLE CovER.-
by tho following method u simple,
cheap, aud yet, very pretty cover for a
table or stand may be quickly made.
A heavy doublc.iaced Canton flannel is
now manufactured, in various colors,
having the nap on both sides, and is on
sale generally. Either this or the sin
gle.iaced can be used, but the double
faced is preferable on account Of It's ox'
ira thickness. The shade can be select
cd to match the furniture. When cut
to suitable size, it is bordcred with n
contrasting shade Of TIE same material
of any desired width. But this is best
made of the single-nap flannel, as the
double would be little clumsy. The
border is cut Of double width, and
folded so as to leave the fold for the
outside edge and stitched on. To cover
the seam, sew on strip Of velvet or
vclvetccn, with cross or feather stitch
Of floncelle of contrasting shade; gold
is preferable. This comes in all col
ors, and costs but little, and each
thread can be split into two or three
threads. - American Agriculturist.

Cure for Cancers,

Our attention (sOys the editor Of The
Milwaukee Free Democracy has been
recently called to cure for cancers,
which Is of so much Importance that
we wish to make il known 0s widely rs
possible, Some eight mouths ago, Mr..
T.. II. Mason--who keeps n music
store on Wisconsin street, and Isl
brother of the well known Lowell Ma
son--Nsccrtaincd that he had u cancer
on his face the size Of u pea. II was
cut ont by DR., Wolcott and the wound
partially healed. subsequently it
grew again, aud while he was in Gin
cinnaii on business, II attained tho size
of hickory nut. He remained there
since Christmas under treatment, and
has come back perfectly cured. The
process is this;
A piece of sticking-plastcr was put
over the cancer, with circular piece
cut out of the center, little larger
than the cancer, so that the cancer and
q small circular rim Of healthy skin
next to il were exposed. Then plas-
ter made of chloride of zinc, bloodroot,
and wheat flour was spread on piece
of muslin of the size of this circular
opening, and applied to the cancer for
"a hours. On removing il the cancer
will be found to be burnt into, and up
pear of the color and hardness of IN
old shoe sole. and the circular rim out
side of it will appear white and par
boiled. as il scalded by hot steam.
The wound is now dressed, and the
outside rim soon separates and the cam
Ger comes ont n hard lump, and the
place heals up. The plaster kills the
cancer so that it sloughs out like dead
flesh, and never grows again. The
remedy was discovere! by DR.. Fell of
London, and has been used by him for
six or eight years with unfailing sue
cess, and not case has been known of
the temperance of the cancer where
this remedy has been applied. 1t has
the sanction of the most eminent physi-
clans and surgeons of London, but has
not, till recently, been used in this
country, and many of the faculty, with
their proverbial oppositions, look upon
it with distrust. We saw Mr.. Mason
at church yesterday and have since
conversed with him and taken particu-
lar notice of the cicatrized wound, and
we can only say, that if the cure is
permanent-and from the evidence Of
six or eight years experience in other
cases, we have no doubt it is-the
remedy ought to be universally known.
We have referred to this case, because
Mr.. Mason is we'll known both here
and in the East. The experiment ex-
cited much interest in Cincinnati, and
we call the attention of the faculty in
this State to the remedy. If it is what
it is claimed for it, this terrible disease
will be shorn of most of its terrors.
The application is painful, but the pain
is of comparatively brief duration,
which any one so afflicted would cheer
fully endure.

do not believe in such sermons-Dr
John Hall.
Churches in which tnrmerly there was
no celebration of Christmas and Easter
are now generally in favor of their oh
servauce in religious worship. In the
Presbyterian Church. of which DR..
John Hall is one OF the most diSting-
ui>hcd representatives, there has been u
great change i'll this respect. and doubt
hundreds of Presbyterian ministers last
Sunday. Why does not DR.. Hall believe
in such sermons? lie says: ITO me
every day is commemorative of the ris
ing of our Lord from the dead" But he
must admit that to set aptrt one day for
the especial commemoration Of the birth
of Christ and another to commemorate
his resurrection is To do much to i'm
press upon the world the tive most inn
portant events in human history. The
principle upon which DR.. Hall objects
TO E lister sermons would prohibit all me-
morial days. When Jehovah told the
Jews to keep the Passover. he explained
its purpose to be that We may re-
member" great event III the history
OF tue Jewish race. Is there not in
great memorial days a help to remem-
brance of things which should not be
toi gotten. Easter was more generally
observed this year than ever before. and
probably its observance will be still more
general throughout the whole nation
year after year for a long time to come.
