Simple Remedies.

For Group, administer teaspoonful of
strong alum water; repeat the dose every
fifteen minutes until free vomiting oc-
ours. Put the. feet and limbs in hot
water, and then wrap up in flannel;
place on the chest poultice of corn
meal sprinkled with mustard. Beware
of draughts. AS the attack departs, ad-
minister dose of magnesia, rhubarb or
castor oil. When the children are liable
to Group, always keep the alum water
solution ready on the washstand.
Toothache may be speedily ended by
saturated with ammonia to the defective
tooth.

lemon juice and sugar. A reaspoonful
taken occasionally is the dose.
There is scarcely an ache to which
children are subject SO hard to bear and
SO difficulty to cure as earache. A
remedy which never fails is pinch of
black pepper gathered up in bit of cot
ton batting, wet in sweet oil and inserted
in the ear. It will give immediate re-
lief.
Remedy for chilblains-Take piece
of lime the size of your double fist; put
it in warm water and soak the feet in it
as warm as it can be borne for half an
hour.
For scald or burn, apply Immediate
ly pulserized charcoal and oil. Lamp

effect is miraculous.
For chapped lips, mix two tablespoon
fuls of clarified honey, with a few drops
of lavender water, or any other perfume,
and anoint the lips frequently.

How Snooks swure or

New Years Day is the regular time of
swearing off, for all topers. A Com
stocker, who made fortune Under the
disadvantages that attach to the name of
Snooks, took time by the forelock and
swore off on Christmas morning. The
way of it was as follows, to wit, All the
Snooks family, both great and. small
were hanging up their stockings on
Christmas Eve The Snooks children
insisted that "Papa Shook" should hang
up his Estocking, which he did. Next
morning he saw projecting from the top
of his stocking Tin reality sock)
what looked very much like the neck
of a bottle. Hauling forth the
familiar object, Snooks found it labeled
"Old Bourbon"-his especial brand
a note from his favorite youngest daugh-
ter, saying. ''To Darling Papa, from
Nellie. Snooks gazed at the note, then
at the bottle, scratched his head, looked
again at the two objects, then gave a
snort, marched into his woodhouse and
smashed the bottle in thousand pieces.
His Christmas present settled it. The
little girI7was giving him what she sup
posed he liked best, but in this there was
food for reflection, and after few mo-
ments of sober thought, Snooks con-
cluded that he wouldn't have it." He

A Remarkable Couple.

Living near Blue Knob, in this county.

couple. 'Uncle" Johnnie Hill, aged 96.
and his wife. Fannie Hill, aged 96. They
have been married nearly eighty years
and have lived together in the greatest
happiness during this long period of
years. Uncle Johnnie is hale and hearty,
enjoys the company of young people,
and, although he does not work himself,
every morning, no matter what kind of
weather, he gets out and superintends
the feeding of his stock. His wife is very
cheerful and bright, superintends her
housework and does some of it herself.
She can read very well without specks.
Uncle Johnnie tells some very interest
ing incidents connected with his young
days, among other things his trip up the
Mississippi from New Orleans on the
first steamboat ever on that river. This
ancient couple have lived TO see their
fifth generation and have undoubtedly
been married 1onSer than any couple in
the State Elizabethtown, KY, News.

HOUSE AND FARM.

New Vegetables. Season new yege-
tables with good deal of black pepper
as yell as salt. There is then less dan
ger of their affecting the stomach un-
fayorably.
Raisin Pie.-One cup of raisins, one
cup of water, one cup of sugar, one. and
one-hah tablespoonfuls of corn starch;
put the water on the raisins and boil for
in a little cold water, add sugar, and
rich upper and under crust.
Nine Out of Ten.-The successful
farmer is the reading one in nine cases
out of ter. It is only by reading that
one can keep up with the times in which
we live. It has been aptly said that an
agricultural community, without books
and papers relating to farming, is like a
ship at sea without ruddeU or compass.
An Easy Way.-A very easy way to
poaeh eggs is to get boiling water IN
your muffin tins and set them on the
hottest part of the stove; break the eggs
in @ saucer, then drop one in each tin;
in two or three minutes they will be done
and can be taken mp one at a time in
shape with the help of small strainer;
season with butter, pepper and salt.
Ginger Snaps.-Never put ginger
snaps in jar while they are hot; take
plates to cool, otherwise they will steam
and become moist and will not be crisp
and brittle; other cookies will not need
so long cooling process, and cake
which you wish TO keep a week or ten
days is improved by being wrapped in q
towel while still in the tin; let it stand
in this way for two or three hours.
| Loss of Cud In Cows.-Loss of cud or
| suspension of rumination in COWS is due
| to indigestion, from inaction of the mus
cular coats of the stomach. The remedy
| is to clear the bowels and stomach of
gathered indigested matter by brisk
| purgative; for instance, quart of lin
seed oil or twenty ounces of epson salts,
and then to give some easily dlgested
and laxative food, as bran mashes or
linseed meal stepped in water twelve
hours.
/ Sure Cure for Corns.-A scientific
journal says: "a. c., who has tried it.,
is authority for the following: Take
one fourth cup of strong vinegar, crumb
| finely into it some bread; let stand half
an hour, or until it softens into a good
| poultice; then apply on retiring at night.
In the morning the soreness will be gone
and the corn can be picked out. II the
corn is very obstinate one, it may re-
quire two or more applications to effect a
cure" Continued moisture for reason
able length of time is all that is gener-
ally needed to place the most obstinate
corn in condition for being easily re-
moved.
/ Heavy Farm Tools.-As a general
thing, says sensible writer, all of our
farm tools are too heavy. Generally
speaking, the farm-wagon that will bear
up under ton weight with ease is
plenty heavy enough for all practical
purposes to which farm wagon should
be put. Ii you wont to haul two tons il
is far better and cheaper in the end tc
make two loads of it. The saving in
horsefesh and feed will, in few years
amount to enough to buy new one and
have something left for profit. If you
are about ordering a new wagon, have il
made light and of the best material, and
you will never regret it,.

Thin and graceful Ike clipper, Thora was
Though her dress was very seanty and perhaps
net "comlne il fault"
Bare and brown her little feet were, and her
cheeks we're sunburnt, too,
But her lips were very rosy and her eyes were
very blue.
One black skirt with red embroidery and
snowy-white chemise
Were her wonted dress on week days, when she
felt herself at ease.
Hats she only wore in winter, when with snow
the air was dim,
But her eyes peeped forth full brightly meath
the big sou wester's brim.
For who thinks that souwester, cen if e'er
and eer so wide,
From the boz adminng glances could pretty
maiden hides
And tits known how much attention every
pretty maid annoys;
And-t was thousand pities!-Thora did not
like the boys.
They were either rude and noisy, or too bashful
and confused;
AS for loving theml No, thank you: she would
rather be excusedl
And, besides, there were so many-Stout and
slender, short and tall
How could she her choice determine, snice she
could not love them ALL
Dumb, abashed stood little Thora and her cheeks
were flaming red
Nervously she twirled her apron. and she hung
her pretty head,
TIL at length she gathered courage, and she
whispered 5reathlessly:
"Mother, dear, love him truly, and he says
that he loves me-"
"Lord "a mercy on us, daughter solemnly the
dame replied:

thy choice decde;
For Of men there are many--stout and slen-

How's maid TO choose among them, since she
cannot loyethen all?'
Now the moon, who had been biding in a veil
of misty lace,
Wishing to smbarrass no one by the shining oi
her face,
Peeped again in modest wonder, ere her cloud
she gently broke,
And she saw the good-wife smiling, as to TLora
thus she spoke;
"Snce thou now hast chosen, daughter-every

Tell me, how didst thou discover that thy heart

How It Was.

A citizen. doing business on Monroe
avenue was interviewed the other day by
a man who had family bible in hand
andswanted TO pawn it for dollar.
Let's see, replied the citizen. Il
believe you were here several days ago
with your dead mothers ring and wanted
fifty cents for it"
sYes.n
"And previous to that you called here
with your dead fathers watch.
ST did"
"And month ago you halted me on
Jefferson avenue and wanted loan on
locket which had been worn by your
dead sister,
ST think you are the man, sir"
''It looks to me as if all your family
were dead"
s'such is the case. I am the sole sur
vivor."
"Your dead mothers ring was only
washed affair, if remember right?"
Exactly. wouIdn't tell lie no
how. She always wore washed rings in
preference to any other sort"
"And your dead sisters locket was
clear brass?"
$50 it was, sir. She preferred that
kind and we always humored her"
eAnd your dead fathers watch was Q
galvanized one, think?"
you've hit it again, sir. The old
man had some queer notions, and that
was one of 'em. .
"And what dead member of your
family once owned this bible?"
| 'sMy grandmother, sir.
| 81 see that many of the leaves have
| been torn ont, and others are stained and
| spoiled Was that a notion of your
| grandmother's?'
stIt was. She was queer, but good,
When she read her bible she liked to
skip from the fifth verse III Luke to the
sixteenth verse in John, and she dis
colored the pages to rest her eyes while
reading"
''And what cranky notion have you
got?'
ST think that you will lend me fifty
cents on that bible" was the reply.
"Well, that's where one member of
your family made mistake. believe
/ you are fraud"
"Sirr'
/ And I'll have you arrested"
sSir! Your words convince me that
yon are no gentleman! Good dayr'
He fell over u chair and nearly kicked
stove over in his haste to get out, and
after all left his bible on the table. It
will be handed him any time he returns.

PIu ocratic Politics.

The tendency toward gross plutoc-
racy is visible in our political life.
When political machine" is in perfect
order-that is to say, when few
managers control regular action so that
they car nominate any candidate whom
they may select-they look more and
more for rich. candidate. In a con-
gressional district, for instance, they
select some person who has no qualifea-
stion whatever for q seat in congress, but
who is rich. and will pay large sums into
the party treasury Some man is se-
lected who has made lucky speculation,
who has grown rich by popular tooth
wash, or axle grease, or patent for
bellows mending, and who is both fiat
tered by the offer of the nomination and
eager to draw checks for thousands of
thousand dollars. This is the man who is
sent to help make the laws.
It is undeniable that the inventors and
proprietors of tooth washes and axle
grease improvements and in bellows
mending may be among the best of men
nd the most patriotic of citizens. But
aowever sanity and patriotic black
smith may be, those qualities do not fit
him to adjust the springs of watches, or
to polish the lenses of telescopes. Be-
sides, the selection of rich men is made,
not because they are honest and patri-
otto, but because they are rich. 1.-THE
machine" would not think OF them as
candidates except for their money, and
because of their willingness to give their
money literally. The transaction is a
trade. The seat in congress is sold to
the highest bidder. If the Roman en-
peror made his horse consul, the
"machine" makes any ignorant quack
who has amassed riches in any business,
and is willing to pay, member of con-
gress.- Editors Easy Chair, in Har-
per's Magazine for January.

Russian Proverbs.

His right arm is often mans enemy.
Beware of a tame wolf and reconcilea
enemy.
The trainer remains sound whilo the
horse dies.
When sovereignty is divided it is very
soon destroyed.
When the patriarch is starved he steals
like any other man.
The robber does not always steal.
but it is as well to be on the lookout for
him.
Misfortune engenders misfortune, and
you escape the wolf only to be devoured
by the bear.
The rich man in battle shields his
face, but the poor man takes care of his
clothes.
The old man repents of that which the
young man boasts.
IF yon give shirt to beggar he will
complain that the linen is too coarse.
Measure ten times and eut once.
