salt in about half small tumbler full
Of water. With this we gArgled the
throat most thoroughly just before meal
time. The result has been that during
the entire winter We we're not only free
from coughs and colds, but the dry
hacking cough has entirely disappeared.
We attribute these satisfactory results
solely to the use of salt gArgle. and
most cordially recommend a trial of il

MILK DIET IN BmdHT's DIsRAgH.-
Since We know not at present any drug
that possesses therapeutic value to any
marked extent in this terrible and fatal
disease, and since it is daily making
sad havoc among human beings, and
principally among that class who, by
reason OF their valuable public laborg.
are particularly necessary TO the vel
fare Of the world; therefore, il be-
comes a medical question OF paramount
interest that We should discover some
potent method Of combating this very
prevalent disease. Some years since
Carel first called attention 10 the
treatment OF Brghts disease by the
use OF a milk diet, and since then Dun.
can, as we'll az many other prominent
physicians, have written on this sub
lect. We have ourselves seen some re-
markable results fellow this treatment.
while DIR. S. Weir Mitchell, Of our city,
is now quite an enthusiast OF thig sub.
Iect. This method Of treating a for
midable disease has received sufficient
distinguished Endorsement TO recon-.
mend 1t seriously TO our notice. We
would, therefore, ask ali physicians who
read this article to try this method oi
treatment, and 10 furnish US with their
experience, which we will publish. The

entirely freed from butter. To
procure the best results it has

commenced with tablespoonful doses,
to which lime water is added, until the
stomach tolerates the milk, when from
eight to ten pinis daily should be taken,
and absolutely nothing else. The sane
tion OF such a distinguished physician
as DR. Mitchell forces us to ecriously
consider the merits Of this treatment,

herself, not only mending, but making

gagged, and has won the respect and

A Tale of the Sea.

first header, right alongside he bcheld
an albatross, aud around that albatross'
neck he folded an arm, and doubtless
with the other hand made . sure grip
of the wicked hooked bill, and with
much tapping and foundering, and
doubtless strange conversation between
man aud bird, he held on till the boat
was down and lifted him in. What
tale the albatross told TO his fellows
that evening is 10 us unknown, but II
any records be kept in the albatross
world, little doubt there will be found

monster more marvellous than the

Kieffer's Recollections OF Drummer
boy" in March 81. Nicholas:
Fifty yards in front of the abatis the
pickets were stationed. When first the
siege began, picketing was dangerous
business. Both armies were bent on
fight, and picketing meant simply sharp
shooting. As a consequence, at first
the pickets were posted only at night,
so that from midnight the poor fellows
lay in their riHe-pits under broiling
July sun, with no protection from the
intolorable heat excepting the rcsnty
shade Of little pine. brush erected
overhead, or in front Of the pit as a
screen There the picket lay, fat on
his face, picking of the enemy's men
whenever he could catch sight Of a
head or even so much as hand and
right glad would he be il, when the
long.awaited relief cane at length, he
had no wounds to show.

Of white paper as a signal of truce, walk

picket lines and meet one of our own
picketa, who, also dropping his gun,
would 60 out 10 inquire what Johnny
might want to-day.
"well, Yank, want some coffee, and

The new colors are copied from TO-
liage and flowers, and take their names
accordingly; for instance, new dark
green is called elder green, another
shade is sycamore, and the olive green's
are called lichen green; q purple-red
like soabieuse is marked petunia, and a
similar shade is orchis; the azealea red
and pale eglantine (wild-rose) pink have
already been noted; the Turc and Sicily
reds are brighter shades than the dull
garnet so long worn, and are similar to
carnation red. SunAover yellow, like
the "gaudy leonine flower" OF the

grapes, while the paler yellow tints are
maize, like the corn and straw colors
worn before dull ecru shades were popu-
lar. Cinnamon brown with red pre-

seal brown. There are three shades OF
beige ranging from ecru to brown, and
there is pure white that has no yellow

is almost as dark as Isabel yellow. Suez
blue Is a very pale shade, hussar blue

bund. Paris has condemned them.
Galloons and braids will trim many
spring costumes and spring jackets.
Cloth and cheviot costumes are

Moresque and Oriental laces rival in

Ribbed velvet and corduroy velve-
teen jackets are the fancy of the pass

Copper tint is favorite tint in new

For full evening dress there are

Morning dresses for unceremonious

Spanish and Oriental laces will both

Nuns yelling is equally becoming to

Basquss are shorter in the skirt and
are frequently pointed in front and

Butterfly wing pouis in the back,
formed by the scarf employed for the

Among new pongees, the plain white

Some authorities in matters OF dress
say that killed skirts are going out Of
vogue; others announce that they will
be more worn than ever.
Costumes for street wear should be
OF wooden material, one kind only,
with which q felt hat or bonnet simply
trimmed, and q cloth jacket, may be
worn.
In Paris skirts are frequently seen Of
which the only drapery is broad sash
tied around the bottom Of the waist aud
looped back on the tournure to form
the pouf.
One Of the prettiest lace pins in dia
mond jewelry is a reap hook set in grad.

In spite Of the high looping Of back
and side draperies the costume OF the
season defines the human form divine
as much as ever. The effect is still Of
q princess robe or fourreau, whether
the dress is short or trained.
The hair is worn low on the brow,
either in q curly fringe or waved. Be-

in coil, in loops or braids. Flowers
