Cough Cures.

This is the season VIXEN the familiar
cough is heard on every hand, and every
one is suggesting remedy. We know
of two that are perfect cures. One for
children is to take half teacup whole
1axseed, wash through three or four wa
tiers and put in pan with two quarts of
cold water. Let it cook till slightly thick
ened, pleasant for driL king, take off,
strain and add juice of one lemon and
sugar to taste. Give warm as much as a
child will take before going to bed. This
will relieve it in almost all cases, but if
after three or four trials it fails, try the
well whipped white of an egg, mixed with
one table spoon sugar, and juice of a
lemon; give half teaspoon after
each spell of coughing, being careful
not to give too much or too often as the
pure juice of the lemon is quite strong for
them. These are good for older people,
but the most effective cure is: One ounce
pressed mullen Tor the leaves, one half
ounce pressed hoarhound, and one quart
soft water put on to boil; if necessary,
add more water. When the strength is
well extracted, so the syrup is thin as mo-
lasscs, oreven thinner, take off, strain and
add one pint New Orleans molasses and
bottle for use. The dose is one tablespoon
four times day, or after every coughing
spell viii do no harm. Some simply make
q tea of the mullen, sweetcn and take.
This has been tried to our knowledge
where consumption was feared, and the
cure was perfect.-Housekeeper.

POISONED.

Thousands of persons are poisoned in
America by the continual use of Mercury,
Iodide of Potassium and other minerals
for various diseases. The Mercury works
its way into the tissues, producing rheu
matism and decay of the bones The
Iodide of Potassium eats away the coating
of the stomach, and dries up the castle
juices which digest the food, and the pa
tient fingers along ia agony or is glad to
die to get away from misery. Swift's
Specific is a complete antidote to all this
poison. 1t eliminates Mercury from the
system, removes the evil effects of Iodide
of Potassium, and brings back health and
happiness. Send your address for a copy

EVOLUTION IN BUCKWHEAT CAKES.
The Flour Now Made White Instead of
Yellow, as in Ye OIden Time.


Yellow, as in Ye OIden Time.
New York Sun,
"Buckwheat cates!" said man in a down
town restaurant. Wheat cakeS!" said an
other man by his side. In a short time the
waiter brought three broad, thin disks that
were white within and crisp brown without
to each man. In looks the cakes were ex-
actly alike. A man with sensitive taste
could have determined after one or two
trials that they did not taste alike,
Il ordered buckwheat just because the
name brings up pleasant memories" said
one. Here is a case in which evolution has
ruined the thing evoluted. When 1 was
boy my father used TO carry buckwheat to
mill and bring back a grayish flour. My
mother mixed it up at night and the next
morning I sat down to breakfast before a
heap-but no matter. We won't talk about
it,
Yes but you said something about the
evolution spelling the thing evoluted. What
was the thing evOluted"
The buckwheat -four The buckwheat of
my youth was cleaned and then ground be-
tween the stones like any other grain. Not
long ago man who wanted to make a beau
tiful flour to look at concluded that he could
do so if he could entirely remove the shuck
from the kernel of buck wheat. To do this he
made machine that consists of four serrated
or corrugated rollers. Two are placed at the end
of a.screen over which the grain passes, and
as the grain drops between them it gets a nip
that breaks it up and separates about all the
meats from the husks. Then the meats drop
through a short screen, and the husks pass
on through the second set of rollers. They
are further broken up and the remaining
meats are separated. The meats are ground
and this white tasteless stuff is the result"
THAT was only the complaint of a man
who thinks that there are no times like the
old times" said the -four dealer to whom the
above was related. eli he wants ground
husks instead of clean flour he can get it, and
for less money. Few mills now grind the
shucks and all together, but the flour is to be
had. If the new process -four was not better
than the old it would not now be taking the

behind Der, and her arm every now and

NUMBERING CITIZENS.
The Visit of Congressman Cox and Others
to the President in Behalf of American


Citizens.
Washington Letter to Warren co. Tribune.
A delegation of Congressman waited on the
President the other day to awaken an in
terest in his official bosom in behalf of some
citizens of the United States who were re-
Gently murdered on the sacred soil of sover-
eign Virginia because they were the political
friends of the present administration. Mr.
Cox, of New York, was the spokesman of the
delegation. He said that no charge OF crime
had been made against the murdered citizens,
that they were shot down like dogs in the
streets of Danvile; and that the sovereign
government of Nirginiahad taken no steps to
bring the murderers to justice, He alluded
in feeling terms to the thousands of orr TEL
low citizens who have been assassinated in
the sovereign States of the South, and eX-
pressed the deepest sympathy tor that weak,
helpless and despised country which is pow
erleSS to protect its own citizens. He SAID
that the murdered men were native Ameri
cans and gracefully alluded to the fact that
although the President was of foreign parent
age he was born on American soil, and must,
therefore, feel an interest in the welfare of
native Americans, whereat thee President
bowed and smiled as if he felt highly com
plimented. In reply, the President promised
to do all in his power to right the wrongs
complained of, and to protect peaceable and
unotfendIng citizens against summary execu-
ton bV political mObs. p
No, no! I've got things somewhat mixed.
Mr.. Cox and his friend did call on the Presi-
dent, but my pen has gone astray in stating
the circumstances.
They called in behalf of one O'Donnell,
native OF ireland and an alleged naturalized
citizen of the United States who left his
adopted country some months ago, and fol-
lowed another Irishman thousands of miles,
to Africa, for the purpose of numbering him,
which purpose he accomplished. He was
then arrested by the British authorities, tried
and condemned to be hung. Mr.. Cox and
the McF'lathortys and OFinertys who called
on the President asked him to interfere in
the murderer's behalf by requesting the
British government to delay the execution.
They gave very cogent reasons for the re-
quest: First, the murderer O'Donnell is
hero, because he went so far and risked so
much for the patriotic purpose of killing
Carey. man who was hated by the Irish.
Secondly, because Misther O'Donnell didn't
intend to kill Carey, and didn't follow him
for that purpose, aud cidentally shot him
in self-defense in friendly QUARREL such as
is likely to occur at any moment between
two drunken Irishmen. Thirdly, there are
a great many Irshmen in this country, and
they cast great many votes. OF course the
President treated Mr.. CoX's party with civil
ity, and promised to communicate with the
British government on the subject

were cast off, the little steamer turned her
head away and steamed slowly toward the
