Food for CONSERVATIVES.

Snails, in the opinion OF Which,
are equal in value TO oysters. They
are, he says, equally nourishing and
wholesome. On account of their gel
atinous nature, they have lately been
much used in consumptiOns; and as
these complaints are now very fire.
quent, it were TO be wished, says Med
zeal Classics, that such patients would
give the remedy fair trial by boiling
a dozen of the red garden snails every
day in a quart of sweet milk or whey
for half an hour, then straining the
liquor through coarse cloth and
drinking it with sugar every morning
gradually upon an empty stomach,
and repeating these drsughts for a
month or two if required.
This red garden snail has also been
used externally in the open hpmorr-
holds, where fresh snails were applied
every two or three hours, in a raw
state, with remarkable success.
The large Roman or edible snail is
renowned both as a delicacy and on
account of its reputed virtues as a rem
edy in cases of consumption, which it
is said has in several instances been en-
tirely cured by regimen of the mu-
cilage from these snails. On the con-
tinent the Roman snail is considered q
great delicacy; but the garden and
yellow banded snails are the kinds
more commonly eaten.

Consumption Surely Cured.

To THE EDITOR: Please inform your

address. Respectfully,

Neglect of the teeth not only leads
to their decay, but according to the
testimony of physicians causes them
to infect the food and produces dys-
pepsia. This undesirable result is pre-
vented by SOZODONT, the renowned
preventative and beautifier, a purely
botanic preparation, which can be re-
lied upon to render the teeth white If
they are not hopelessly decayed, and
remove corrosive Impurities from
their surfaces and cavities. Use no
other dentifrice but SOZODONT. 1t
is pure, effective and fragrant.

clothing that he could do me no
further damage my companion took
time to throw one of my shoes at it..
This seemed 10 rattle the cat, indeed,
all along he had appeared to he more
attached to my clothes than 10 my
self, and my undershirt was now
wound around his head in such a way
he could scarcely see, and when he
shortly after retired into his cave he
was wearing my money belt for a
surcingle and my teck scarf for a
crupper.
gathered up what clothing had
left, and all the reproaches could
think of, and turned TO my companion,
but he had already opened my valise
and was kindly busying himself for
my relief 10y laying out different col
ored rolls ofcourt plaster. "Old boy"
he said, smiling and slapping me twice
on q diagram of an elevated railroad
which the wild cat had drawn, "yon
did il elegantly" You had better
Eo compliment the wild cat"
answered coldly. There was a scratch
on every square inch of my body and
plenty of court plaster, but the ques-
ton was how 10 arrange it. | was
for patterning ii after the wild cat
and putting il ON in gay longitudinal
stripes, but my artistic companion
thought the zebra would make bet
ter model.
The zebra was therefore chosen, and
we began by FASTING a wide black
strip down my back and a pink one
around my waist Perhaps, W hen the
tedious job was finished, did not
look as much like a zebra as my COM
panion had expected; perhaps, so many
stars and strips resembled the national
flag more closely than anything else,
however, we did not fret much about
il. There was a scarecrow near by
which a Yankee, true in letter and
spirit TO the traditions OF New Eng
land, had put up 10 keep guard over
a cotton field. We robbed il of a linen
buster and made our way back to the
hotel where | managed TO get into a
room without many comments being
made. The next day the sheriff and
a posse OF picked citizens with repeat
ing rifles accompanied us to the wild
cats den; the animal was not at home
when we called and my watch and
other valuables were secured without
difficulty. When the photographs
were printed the operator shared the
proceeds with me and the event after
wards proved such an advertisement
to the Stickney Court Plaster Co.,
that they doubled my salary.

THE AMERICAN BIRD.
RH sTANLKT WATERLOO.

The bluebird now calls blithely To his mate
when comes the bluebird Winter dare not
wait"
what ma ple-syrup is among the sweets,
What the wild violets perfume among Odors
10,
What velvet moss j. to the sense Of touch.
The bluebird's note - among sounds 81 birds
Soft, oddly winning, with gentle thrill.
The bluebirds hear Springs heart beat every
year
She 6riavs them with her as she ventures
north,
They neatle in her bosom she comes,
And there they learn their song
The bluebird now calls blithelv To his mate
when comes the bluehlrd Winter dare not
wait" Il hicr0s Tunes.
