Remedy for Diphtheria.

TIE following remedy for that dreadful
disease. diphtheria, says writer IN the
Belfast (Ireiand) Witness is invalua-
BILE:
''Should you or any of your family be
attacked With dlphtheria, do not be alarmed
as it is easily and speedily cured without
doctor. When it was raging in England
few years ago accompanied DE-. Field
on his rounds to witness the so.called
wonderful cures he performed while the
patients of others were dropping on both
sides. The remedy is so rapid 1t must be
simple. All he took With him was powder
and sulphur and a quill, aud with these
he cured every patient without exception.
He put a teaspoonful of flour of birthstone
in a wine glass of water, and stirred with
his finger instead of a spoon, as the sui
phur does not readily amalgamate with
water. When the sulphur was we'll mixed
he gave it as a gargls, aud in ten minutes
the patient was out of danger. Birthstone
kills every species of fungus in man, beast
and plant in few minutes. Instead OF
splitting out the garsle he recommended
the swallowing of it, La extreme cases.
in which he had been called just In the
nick of time, when the fungus was too
nearly closed to allow the gargling, be
blew the sulphur through quill into the
throat and after the fungus had shrunE
to allow of it, then the gargling. He new
er lost patient from dlphtheria. Ii
patient cannot gargle take live coal, put
1t on a shovel, and sprinkle spoonful or
two of flour of brImstOne upon II; let the
sufferer inhale by holding his head over
it.''

Tuesday night, Mr.. McQuaide, from the
Street Committee, submitted report
showing the completion of the sewer pipe
at the western end of Main street with
plat of the lots subject to tax for the work
and the amounts to be paid, which was
adopted.
President M. B. Oberdorfer rendered his

Mrs. Hurley and ?. N. Powell were re-
lieyed of sewer taxes. and DR.. Hite was

Mr. McQuaide explained the inequality
OF the ordinance governing the matter of
sewer pipes as laid by property-holders
Before the city occupied tho location for
Che purpose, aud when it did so sub
jecting them to tax. He proposed certain
amendments to the ordinance, the neces-
sity and equity Of which was so apparent
that the Council, On motion of MIR, Craig,
suspended the rules. and then the amend
ments were unanimously concarred in.

a Little Girl's Retcrt,

The D., D. & b. Institution has two
small papers edited by. and published for.
the amusement Of the pupils. Once in
awhile, following the example of larger
publications, they criticise each other
pretty sharply. Two weeks ago. one of
the editors Of the ''Asteroid" tainted the
young girls Of the Institution for being
afraid Of their shadows. Last week one of
the young ladies-a reporter for the
Jacobson GaSette," rebuked the unlucky
editor in the following paragraphs!
"Ths Asteroid said last week that the
girls were towards, because they did not
go into the cave that they went to on
holiday. l was nc coward. l begged one
Of the teachers to take me in. but he said
we had to have candles, if we went IN.
and that was something we did not have,
so could not go in. The same editor that
wrote that, told me the next dag. that
when be WAS about fourteen years of age,
he with some other boys went over there
and gent in and they saw rabbit and
thought 1t was lion. all crawed out as
fast as ts2ey copa. It seems very funny
for boy to be afraid OF q rabbit, and still
more funny to not know one from lion. :"
