Salt for the Throat.

In these DAYS, when diseases of the
throat are so universally prevalent,
and in So many cases fatal, we feel it
our duty to say Il word i'll behalf OF Il
most effcctual if not positive cure for
sore throat For many years past,
indeed, we may say during the whole
of life of more than forty years we
have been subject to dry, hacking
cough, which is not only distressing to
ourselves, but to our friends and those
with whom we are brought into bust
uess contact. Last fall we were in
duced to try what virtue there was in
common salt. We commenced by
taking it three times day, morning,
noon and night. We dissolved Il large
tablespoonful of pure table salt in
about half ii small tumblerful of water.
With this we gargled the throat most
thoroughly just before meal time. The
result has been that during the entire
winter we were not only free from
coughs and colds, but the dry, backing
cough has entirely disappeared. We
attribute these satisfactory results
solely to the use of salt gargle, and
most cordially recommend IL trial of 1t
to those who are subject to diseases of
the throat. Many persons who have
never tried the salt Sargle have the
impression that it is unpleasant, but
after few days use no person who
loves IA nice, clean month, and Il first
rate sharpener of the appetite will
abandon it Household.

1t was bull and COW on farm in
Chester county, Penn, according to a
of the Rural New
Yorker, which, in fight, locked their
horns and were entangled for five days
before they were found, nearly starved
to death, and one of the horns had to
be sawed off before the animals could
be released. In the same journal Is
an account of a shipment of beef cattle
from Canada to Liverpool, among
which there was so great loss from
goring of horns, that the shipment was
almost total loss. Many of the ami
mails were literally torn into shreds by
the horns of their fTenzied companions.
OF another shipment of Hos head of
polled cattle brought to this country
from Scotland, only a single calf
among the entire lot was lost.
The writer well says: ain time, the
fashion of wearing horns by cattle will
go ont. just as the fashion of wearing
nose rings has disappeared among
human beings. Horns are the natural
weapons of defence and offence given
to wild cattle for their protection, as
we'll as a means of preserving the races
by getting rid of the weaker and use
less males. DOmesticated cattle have
no use for them except to exercise the
occasional Viciousness of spoiled an
imals upon each other or their owners,
OF strange persons. They are con
slant menace, and make severe, and
even cruel discipline necessary to sub
iect the animals to their owners safety
and convenience. By-and-by, when
the fashion changes, and stock men
see their interests rightly, the horns

Honest Servants.

The fact that Brooklyn maid sell
want who had been charged with the
theft of IL diamond brooch valued at
$1,000 has been eXOnerated by the find
ing of the jewels, affords occasion to
remark that the general honesty of the
serving class is poorly appreciated.
In this ease the mistress of the house
had taken new brooch into the draw
ing room, rolled it up in IA bit of brown
tissue paper, from which an orange
had been taken, and carelessly left it
on the mantel. The maid going her
rounds on the way to the cellar to fix
the furnace for the night took the pa
per as mere waste aud threw it III the
furnace. She was seen to take the pa
per and admitted it, but stOutly denied
all knowledge of its contents. The
fire was wet down aud the contents of
the furnace carefully searched by II
jeweier. who found both the stones
and the gold, though a hasty eXamina-
ton 10y the men of the house failed to
reveal either. The stones are not
ruined. Complaints of pilferimg on
the part of household servants are com
paratively rare in this community aud
still more rarely established.

Two Remarkable Needles.

The International Exhibition of
Needlework, which is to be held at
Sydenbam in July, lSS4, will include,
among other curiosities, two things
which will not be the least of the at
fractions of the exhibition. One is the
famous needle presented to the En-
peror of Germany last year under cir
cumstances worth recalling. The En-
perOr was visiting the great needle
mandatory at Kreuznach, and was
DESTROYS of seeing for himself the rel
ative power of machinery compared
with skilled hand-lab0r. A bundle of
superiiue needles was placed before
him, 900 of which weighed less than
half an ounce, and he expressed his
establishment that eyes could be bored
in such minute objects. Tiereupon
the foreman of the boring department
asked his Majesty to give him hair
from his beard, and, receiving it, he
bored an eye in it, threaded it, and
handed back to the astOnished Empe-
ror this improvised and most peculiar
needle. The other curious needle
WAS manufactured at Redditch, and
presented to the Queen. 1t is sort of
miniature Trajan's column. All around
it are represented scenes from the
Queens life, executed so infinitely that
IL magnifying glass is required to dis
tinguish them. This needle can be
opened, and within it are a number of
very fine needles, Oh which also scenes
have been engraved Galignami.

a Trap for the Uuwary.

from the good aud gone Peter Cooper's
institute, where rural visitors to the

reasonably expect to find nothing
wrong. There is the usual imitation
OF a bankrupt jewelrS store, with the
red flag OF AN auctiouecr hanging out
side, and gang of stool-pigeons max
ing pretended bids within. The form
of a swindle followed is the old. one of
putting up a really valuable gold
watch, guaranteeing its quality, and
knocking il down TO pail at ten to
fifteen dollars. The dupe sees that the
article is worth great deal more than
that, and, when one that looks the

BOstOn's New sewers.

Boston celebrated New Years day
10y putting into operation its new sys-
TEN of sewerage which has been CON
structed at an expense of S5,5ll, 272.
The work is second to nothing of the
kind in the world In the old system
the sewers opened along the water
front of the city and could flow only
at low tide, causing great difficulty
from cloGging, accumulation of gas in
the drains and of filth in the harbOr.
The new plan provides for an uninter-
rupted flow at all hours, by intercept
ing sewers which follow the marginal
streets of the city receiving the flow
from the old system near the outlets
and by means of a large main sewer,
carrying the entire drainage of the
city to Old Harbor point, where by
means of powerful pumps 1T is raised
thirty-tive feet, to Il level from which
it flows through suhterIanean tunnel
under Dorchester bay to Moon island,
where it is received into large reser-
voirs from which it is discharged an
der water upon an outgoing tide. In
addition to the powerful pumping ma
chinery at Old HarbOT point, there
are elaborate appliances for separat-
ing from the sewage any solid bodies
that would injure the pumps. The
whole length of the outflow sewer
from the pumping house is about two
miles and half. The reservoirs at
Moon island will hold 25,OOO,OOO
gallons. sufficient to contain the entire
flow for twenty-four hours. This will
not he necessary, however, as it can be
discharged twice each day. The first
working of the new system was III the
highest degree satisfactory.
Since these works were commenced
eight years ago much attention has
been given to the subject OF sewerage.
In London the sewage is gathered III
large tanks, where it is submitted to il
chemical process. which precipitates
the solids and leaves the liquids clear,
odorless and harmless, thus saving Il
large amount of valuable fertilizing
material. In Pullman, ILL.,, the sewage
is pumped up to Il level, whence it
flows where it can lie used for fertiliz-
ing by irrigation. The income is said
to be sufficient to pay a fair interest on
the cost of the works.
On the other hand it claimed that
sewage cannot he utilized economically
us fertilizer. If, however, it should
prove otherwise, the Boston works Will
ht. shown to have been unnecessarily
expensive. There is also some teaI
lest the present arrangement may IN
terfcre with the delights of bathing ut
Nantasket But is great improve
ment upon the old system.

Where the Markets are
Supplied.

Within the memory of many now
living, the Boston live stock and pro-
duce markets were supplied almost
wholly by the Eastern states. During
the past year, 81 per cent. of the swine
received at the Boston markets came
from the west, nearly so per cent. of
the cattle, and IS per cent. of the
sheep. Vermont supplied about one
half of all the sheep not coming from
the west, the whole number from this
state being lO2, 346 out of total of
623.0O0. Vermont also leads all the
other New England states in the num-
Der of cattle and swine shipped to the
Boston markets, and of the 81 tons of
live poultry received, the greater part
was from Vermont.
