S5,00a6124; medium ori good fair
quality, S4.00G94.S7@; ordinary thin

extreme range of prices, S3.30(d6.65;
Most of the sales were from 4.37I(9
6.373.
REMARKS ON. BEEF CATTLE.
The arrivals of Cattle during the
week amounted to $50 head, against
957 last week and 100 head the cor
responding week of last year, and the
sales were 1913 head, against 743 last
week, and 1873 head the correspond
ing week of last year.
The market was somewhat more
active than it was last week, buyers
more freely giving the better prices
asked for that averaged better than
the offerings of last week. Values
were unchanged, the improyed figures
being represented in the better gen.
eral average quality. Prices $3.50 to
$3.50 per 100 lbs.-most sales 4s to
68c. per Id.
THE SWINE MARK EFT.
The quality differs but little on an
average from that of list week, as
there are again rather too many light,
half fattened Hogs among the offer
ings, which depresses prices of the
better grades. Trade is only mOder-
ately active, with fairly full supply.
We quote common light Hogs at 7!
! use, and the better grades at S!(G
81, with few extra a shade higher;
same time last year prices ranged
from 10 to II.
THE SHEEP MARKET.
The offerings were of about the
same general quality as that of last
week. Trade has been fairly good
for good Sheep, and they We're dis
posed of at an early hour, but COM
mon were hard to sell. We quote
clipped Sheep at 4(95&c.. and extra a
shade higher; wool Sheep 4(G6$ 4;
Lambs 10012 gross. Same time last
year clipped Sheep sold same as to-
day, and wool Sheed 49(063 gross.

Cough Cures.

This is the season when the fami
liar cough is heard on every hand.
and every one is suggesting remedy.
WeknOw of two that are perfect cures.
One for children is to take halfa tea
cup whole flaxseeL, wash through
three or four waters and put in pan
with two quarts of soft cold water. Let
it cook till slightly thickened, pleas
ant for drinking, take off, strain and
add Juice of one lemon and sugar to
taste. Give warm as much as child
will take before going to bed. This
will relieve in all most all cases. but
if after three or four trials II fails, try
the well-whipped white of an egg,
mixed with one tablespoon sugar and
juice of "a lemon ;give half a teaspoon
after each spell of coughing, being
careful not to give too much or too
often as the pure Juice of lemon is
quite strong for them. These are good
for older people, but the most effec
tive cure is: One ounce pressed mul
lein Tor the leaves,) one-half ounce
pressed hoarhOund, and one quart
soft water put on to boil; il neces
Sary, add more water. When The
strength is well extracted, so The
syrup is as thin as m0Iasses, or ever
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 cough
ing spell will do no harm. Some
simply make tea of the mullen
sweeten and take. This has hPel
tried to our knnwledge where con
sumption was feared, and the cur,
was perfect. - The HOusekeeper.

Two Curious Needles.

The King OF Prussia recently visi-
ted needle manufactory in his king
dom, in order to see what machinery,
combined with the human hand,
could produce. He was shown a
number OF superfine needles, thous-
and5 of which, together. did not
weigh half an ounce, and marveled
how such minute objects could be-
pierced with an eye. But he was to
see that in this respect even some
thing still finerand more perfect could
be created. The borer-that Is the
workingnan whose business 1t is to
bore the eyes in these needles-asked
for hair from the monarch's head.
1t was readily given and with a smile.
He placed it at once under the boring
machine, made hole in it with the
greatest care, furnished 1t with a
thread and then handed the singular
needle to the astonished king.
The second curious needle is In the
possession of Queen Victoria. 1t was
made at the celebrated needle manu-
factory at Bedditch, and represents
the column of Trajan in miniature.
This wel-known Roman column is
ad0red with numerous scenes in sculp-
ture, which immortalize Trajan's
heroic action in war. On this dimin-
utive needle, scenes in the life of
! Queen Victoria are represented in re-
lief, but so finely cut and so small
that it requires magnify ing glass to
see them. The Victoria needle can,
moreover. be opened; it contains a
number Of needles ofsmall size, which
are equally adorned with scenes in
relief The Household.

strong as any that ever waged war
for the benefit of the oppressed.
Change is written everywhere. The
