DR.. Lspation, in the proceedings
of the Caucasian Medical Society,""
advises that fingers and toes which
have been slightly frostbitten, and
which subsequently suffer from burn
ing ard itching sensations, should be
painted, at first once. aud afterwards
twice day. with a mixture of dilu-
ted nitric acid and peppermint water
in equal proportions. After this APP
plicatiOn has been made for three or
four days the skin becomes darkened
and the epidermis is shed, healthy
skin appearing under it. The cure is
effected in from ten to fourteen days.
The author has found this plan very
effectual amongst soldiers, who were
unable to wear their boots in conse-
quence of having had frozen feet.
They were in this way soon rendered
capable of returning to duty.

The Worlds Wheat Supply.

Brddstreet's, for January 80, pre-
sents data and calculations based
thereupon, the outcome of which is
that the total visible and invisible
surplus of wheat in the United States
on July l, next, will be about 50,-
100000 bushels, a famine reserve"
only, in the estimation of large deal
ers In wheat. The United Kingdom,
it is estimated, will in the six months
from January l to July l take from
us As, 900, 900 bushels. and other coun-
tiles about 26.OOO,O00. Russia will
supply our British cousins with
10000, 900 bushels. India with 8,O0O.-
600. Chill with 100000 and Austria.
liza with 100000. The outlook may
be said to be, therefore. somewhat
favorable for firm prices toward the
close of the crop year.

yards in length. The Bath lake ter
races are seemingly dead. This i'm
preston is male by observing that
all along the sutures pine, cedar and
jumper trees are well rooted and
thriving. The writer recently dis
covered asmall opening in the terrace
south of Bath lake. The opening
was large enough to admit a man.
The peculiar manner in which the
chamber beneath widens makes it
inaccessible without a rope or ladder.
I made the first exploration of these
subterranean caverns, and am salts
fed that there is an underground
world of intricate chambers. lying
one above another, the entire depth
of the magnetism limestone fOrma-
tion, and extending horizontally for
hundreds of miles. The mammoth
caves of Kentucky were doubtless
formed in a similar manner. But
here the processes by which nature
tears down and builds up are made
manifest. The agents are visibly at
WORK. Some of these chambers are
guarded by the basilisk. whose breath
and glance bring death. Where pure
oxygen finds passage these under
ground terraces may be explored for
long distances. A light must invari-
ably he used, even where the light is
sufficient to walk by. When the light
will no longer burn, the explorer
must at once retreat. Centuries hence
there will be cold lakes and streams
where the boiling river and periodi-
cal lake, one of its sources, and also
boiling hot. now excludes every liv-
ing thing except the salamander fly,
which. unlike the tabled basilisk, has
a veritable existence, and may be
seen at any time diving in and out of
the boiling torrent.

Yellowstone National Park.

G. l.. Henderson, in the st. Paul
Pioneer Press, gives the following de-
scription of winter in the Mammoth
Hot Springs, Wyo:
"This winter surpasses any hereto
fore known in the Rocky Mountains.

bath in the famous Bath Lake, among
the grand terraces at Mammoth Hot
Springs. The temperature of Bath
Lake is 81 degrees at its margin and
14O degrees at the vortex, where the
water boi.s and rises to the surface in
great gaseous globules. These gen.
tlemen "basked in the glare and
stemmed the tepid wave" for over
an hour. This torlid bath on trop-
ical day in midwinter is an event
worth recording. The lake Is nearly
circular in form, about four hundred
feet in diameter, and mas no visible
outlet. The water seen from dis
lance is a deep sea green. The bot
tom is lined with a soft, velvety
moss, a few feet from the edge. The
lake gradually deepens from six in
ches at the margin to about six feet
at the center. The lake is enclosed
west and south by two horizontal
terraces in the form Of the letter A,
the open end being eastward. These
terraces form hot water acquedhcts

Alleged Cures by Prayer.

ONEoNTA, N. Y. Feb. THE
efficiency of faith and prayer as cure
for disease is no longer doubted in the
town of Milford, Otsego county. The
cures are wrought through the instru-
mentality of Miss Alice Benjamin,
daughter of a cabinet maker in that
town. For 10 years Miss Benjamin
had suffered from a spinal difficulty.
She was bedridden and had been
giyen up by physicians. A few
months ago, being member of the
Baptist Church, she made up her
mind to try the prayer cure. She
prayed INCREASINGLY several days and
nights, and to the establishment Of
all she arose and has been liz good
health since.
She has since visited the sick and
applied the prayer cure with success
in the following cases: Mrs. Fanny
Cook was in the last stages of con-
sumption. Soon after Miss Benjamin
and she began to pray Mrs. Cook be-
gan to improve, and now has her
place again in the village choir. Mrs.
Gertrude Marcy, who resides near
Morris. brought with her from Hud-
son a few years ago crippled child
her ankles being twisted so she could
not walk. Miss Benjamin took her
case in hand. and the girl was soon
running about with other children.

To the People Of Oakland.

Mr.. EDITOR 81 understand that
an effort is being made to repeal the
Local Option Law so far as it applies
to Oakland District. 1t seems to me
that the Legislature would assume a
grave responsibility in repeating a
law secured by the voice OF the peo-
pie, especially law that has brought
so much peace and quiet to the com
munity. While the law has not as
yet done all We might desire, ITS enc
mics must admit the beneficial re-
suits. Our town is spoken of as IA
quiet. respectable town, which was
not always the case. The masses are
benefited, whilst very few, if any
are injured in financial sense. To
say that the moral tone of So
ciety is not improved is simply
nonsense. With a knowledge of
these facts, l am at loss to see
how any man who processes regard
for the welfare of humanity can sign
a petition asking the repeal of tie
law. Besides, fearful woe is pro-
nounced "unto him that giveth his
neighbOr drink, that puttest the bot
tie 70 him and maketh him drunken
also" Does not the man who signs
the petition to repeal Local Option
try to put the bottle to his neighbours
lips' Does he not take a great re-
ST 0nsibility upon himself? If he be
a father may he not some day regret
it? These are questions, it strikes
me, should be carefully considered.
Hasty action may cause much sor-
row.

clans summoned, but they could do
nothing for him. He raved. howled
and prayed, declaring that he had
seen the Evil One, and that he was
lost. His torture was terrible, but
nothing could be done to relieve him,
and he died in the widest agony.
The death-bed scene is said to have
been full of horrors that can hardly
be described.

A Terrible Death.

A strange and mysterious occur
renee has caused much excitement in
Millersburg. Dauphin county, Pa.
On Thursday morning there was a
jovial crowd in hotel at that place,
and while they were imbibing Sam
uel M0tter entered. Motter was well
known throughout the county as
patent medicine pedler, and was
about fifty-five years ofage, His wife
died in the almshOuse some time
ago, and since then he has been liv-
ing near Millersburg. Shortly after
MOtter entered a discussion on relig-
ious subjects arose. The sacrament
of the Lords Supper was talked
about. Motter became very earnest
in his talk, and finally dared the
men to indulge in an imitation of the
Lords Supper. They agreed to have
1t with beer and bread. and accord
ingly glass was filled with that bev-
erage. They then knelt in mock hui
miIity, and with the beer in one hand
and the bread In the other, MotteI
