CURE FOR COLD FEET.
Some Medical Advice Furnished by Gen
uine Buffalo Humorist.

Some Medical Advice Furnished by Cen
uine Buffalo Humorist.
After long and careful research in
hithertefore uneXplored fields Of mcdi-
cal science, and moved by spirit Of
genuine philanthropy, we herewith
submit TO suffering humanity the fol-
lowing remedies for cold feet
With the understanding that you are
a cold-feet martyr, place piece of
rough sand paper inside your stock
ings and sprinkle freely with red pep
per. You will find this the incest
warming-pan you ever saw.
If after wearing the stockings, or
rather the sand paper, couple Of
weeks, your feet are still cold and
pulseless, place the Hat of them against
the backbone of q sleeping friend and,
as he begins to feel his spinal thermom-
eter running down towards zero, he
will, if he is responsive soul, grab
you by the hair Of the head and attempt
to twist your head off.
Four or five twists properly twisted,
will cause the blood to circulate and
your feet will warm up accordingly.
Dose, one twist every second. A cure
guaranteed.
We said we would guarantee a cure.
We meant in all but extreme cases, or
cases of eXtremities-colde Xtremities.
There may be, now and then, an un
fortunate who has tried the above
described exhilarating process with
little or no success.
The backbone generator may have
refused to work, OF it may have worked
too freely.
The probability is, however the pa
tient is suffering from what we shall
here be pleased to term pedal paralysis,
or chronic encrustation of the feet, and
in that event the feet must be dipped
in not water, not too suddenly or too
frequently. SO as to surprise the feet
but gradually, say every fortnight, till
they become accustomed to their novel
surroundings; then every week, and III.
timalely daily.
The patient may deem this mode of
treatment horribly severe, almost bar
barrie, but let him remember it is the
last resort
Nothing will cure pedal paralysis, or
chronic encrustation of the feet, but
water.
If the patient shrinks with loathing
at these brilliant suggestions and re-.
fuses to employ little water semi
occasionally he may expect to stub
along through life with couple of
poor, miserable non-conductors, an OBJ
ject of no special interest to his friends
and burning reproach to himself. -

CHIPS FROM CHINA
low the Celestials Treat Their GOds When
They send Too Much Rain.

Seuu loo
Bret Harte is chiefly responsible for
the American belief that the Chinese
are peculiar for ways that are dark
and tricks that are vain, but that they
are peculiar all travellers agree. 1t may
be thct they are right in their ways and
we are wrong, but that is a matter Of
opinion. For instance, can any one
tell why the Chinese wear cotton-cloth
shoes? They are not more comfortable
than leather nor cheaper, nor as health
full. They cling to their old shoes be-
cause they have always worn them, and
because they always stay indoors when
it rains. A Chinaman breads water
more than fire, and a steady stream of
cold water, delivered from q two-inch
nozzle, would dispense the most violent
mob in China in five minutes time.
Rain will ruin his cotton shoes and soak
his cotton clothes, and therefore the
Chinaman goes indoors, and stays there
until TIE rain ceases.
The Chinese are very practical in
their religious ideas. If god whose
business it is to bring rain overdoes it
and causes a deluge, they take him out
of the Joss-housc and set him down in
the shower. If this fails to make him
dry up, they 90 to the extremity of tow
ing him behind a boat in the river to
convince him that too much of a good
thing is as bad as too little.
In China. artificial oyster culture is
largely practiced. Bamboo oyster-felds
are constructed by attaching old shells
to poles which are planted on mud-fats
between high and low water mark, but
subject to strong tidal currents. The
oyster spat adheres to the shells and
soon develops into tiny oysters. Then
the bamboos are transplanted. In six
months they are found to be covered
with well-grown bivalves, which are
then marketable.-Go Golden Days.

FARM AND FIEESIDE.

A Connecticut daiTyman tried
warming the water for the cows to
drink in winter, and the increase Of
butter in ten days paid the expense of
piping tho trough.
In the three years from 1884, the
corn crop of Dakota has more than
trebled in quantity, with the certainty
of constantly increasing, in the future,
this established ratio of progress.
DO not be economical with the bed
ding material. There should be
enough to completely absorb all the
liquids, as they are worth more than
the bedding material.
Ham Salad One pound of boiled
ham, chopped fine; one-halfdozen small
pickles, chopped fine also; add little
chopped celery and serve with dress
ing as for chicken salad.
"A thick coating of whitewash on
the walls Of the cellar will be as pro-
ductive of benefit now as during the
warm season. 1t will also make the
cellar light and cheerful. and greatly
assist in preserving the purity of the
atmosphere.
1t is claimed that the average pro-
duction OF farms is less than that of
twenty years ago. This shows that our
system Of farming has not improved,
and condemns the growing of grain on
large areas. The remedy is, smaller
farms and better cultivation.
There is no reason why farmers
should receive less than the regular
prices for any kind of produce. If they
will ship articles in good condition, and
allow nothing to leave the farm except
that of the best quality, they can always
find ready sale for all classes of prod
uCe.
Spice Cake: One cup of molasses,
enc cup of sugar, two-thirds Of cup
of butter, one cup of sour milk, three
eggs, one teaspoonful soda, one tea
spoonful nutmeg, one and one-half tea
spoonfuls cinnamon, one teaspoonful
Of cloves, three cups of flour.
The age of COW has much to do
with her value as mixer. A cow
with her first calf never milks as well
as with her third or fourth one. and for
dairy animal, as rule, is unproft-
able. For this reason care should be
taken in buying cows for the dairy, to
obtain those with their second or third
calves, not with the first one.
Tongue Cheese: Take one beef
tongue, two calves livers, three pounds
of salt pork, and boil until thoroughly
cooked. Nince together very fine, sea-
son to taste with spices, press the mass
into pan and allow to get cold. Slice
thin and serve upon a napkin in lunch
dish.
Pocket for Crochet Needles: This
is very useful and ornamental pocket
to hang en- the wall or inside large
work basket. 1t is made on a founda-
ton Of cardboard. Cut the back sia
inches long and two and Il half inches
wide and shape the top any design you
like Make the front three inches long
and three and half wide. Cover the
card with blue satin, bind with narrow
ribbon, sewing on a gold bead for each
stitch in the front of the binding. A
row of gold beads is placed on the front
about one inch from the edge all round.
Sew the front to the back and ornament
with bows of pale blue and coral-pink
ribbon.

are peculiarly subject, its worst enemies.

A CURIOUS DISCOVERY.
The Sensation Created by Japanese
Peasant Woman.


A young japanese peasant woman has
| created genuine sensation in the medical
| circles of the cast with new theory and
cure for rheumatism.
Her theory is that it is caused by a small
insect under the skin, that gnaws and bites
the muscles and thus causes the twinges of
pain and the untold misery Of that ailmcnt
A grizzled and skeptical sea captain placed
himself under her care and, after foot baths
of bran and hot rice brandy, she nipped
from his knees small white insects by the
dozen.
The regular practitioners were skeptical
about this new theory, and put one of the
insects under a microscope. They decided
that by its organism it never could have
lived under the surface of the skin.
The Captain insists, however, that the
japanese woman has taken the insects
from his knees and ankles by the hundreds,
in his sight, and killed them, and that he
grows better after each treatment
This theory, absurd as it seems, is really
not much more SO than the theories former
ly held by the medical fraternity. 1t used
to be thought trouble Of the joints, and
was treated as such until it was demonstrate
ed that the treatment brought no lasting
results.
Then, as the muscles were affected, it was
set down as a muscular disease; but the
same unsatisfactory results followed. Now
it is universally acknowledged to be "fiery
condition of the blood caused by the pres
enco of uric acid in the system"
To cure it the uric acid must be driven
out Of the blood, which is done by putting
the kidneys in healthy condition with
Warmers safe cure, and putting out the
fire in the blood" by Warmers safe rheu-
matte cure. These remedies, taken in al
formation, as they should be, drive out the
uric acid already in the blood, and prevent
further accumulation. James Wight, of 81
E. 10Th St, New York, was for many years
victim of rheumatism, and tried various
remedies and cures without avail Sept S,
1887, he writes in praise of tho remedies
named, and says: 81 am now free from the
arrow stings OF the dreaded inhammatory
rheumatism. have and always will recon-
mend Warmers rheumatic remedies to all
sufferers of the disease"
The japanese peasant woman's theory
will not be likely to stand the test of time
and scientific investigation, but the thou
sands of cures made by the remedies men,
toned above prove their merit beyond all
question.
