az An intelligent physician said to me
a few days ago, 81 think can give You
good item," and l replied that was al
ways on the lookout for useful informa.
tion. He then said that he had studied
the subject very carefully and was con.
vinced that it would be we'll for every
house to keep its own fire extinguisher,
and it could be costly done. It would
certainly be invaluable to persons living
in the country and far removed even from
neighbors. The doctor then told me that
he would give me the exact recipe OF the
solution now used in the fire extinguisher
now being offered for sale: Take twenty
pounds of common salt and ten pounds of
sal ammoniac, (muriate of ammonia, to be
had of any druggist) and Dissolve in seven
gallons of water. When dissolved it can
be bottled and kept in each room in the
house, to be used in an emergency. In
case of a re occurring, one or two bottles
should be Immediately thrown with force
into the burning place 80 as to break
them, and the fire will certainly be extin-
guished. This is sn exceeding simple pro-
cess, and certainly worth trial. We give
it, hoping it may prove successful to any
who may take the trouble to try it.-At-

A PHYSICIANS WARNING.-A physi-
clan thinks that law should be made to
prohibit the use of galvanized iron lemon
squeezers. He says that every time a
lemon is squeezed in one of these ma.
chimes the acid of the lemon, coming in
contact with the zinc, dissolves the same
and forms a poisonous salt. Zinc is a
metal which is easily attacked Ly the
weakest acids, and no article of food OF
drink should ever be allowed to come in

Editor Morning News: DEAR SIR-It has come
to my knowledge that number of persons are
circulating a report throughout the city that
Mitchell keeps the best made and best fitting
Clothing, but he is high" Now l desire to
make this statement through the columns of
your valuable paper, and correct the impression
it is sought to convey as to my high prices.
That keep the best ready made Clothing in
the city, that pay more attention to the fit of
the same than is usually done. that am more
particular as to the trimming Of the same, that
do not sell any garment as fast color that is
not fast color, and that the Clothing sell does
not rip as others do, is long established fact,
and is well known to the trade generally, and
vouched for and recommended by the best
merchant tailors in the city. And now as to
prices | desire to impress upon the minds of
your readers that my prices for this choice and
well made Clothing are no higher than any
other clothier will charge for shoddy made
clothing and that am ready to duplicate prices
of any clothing house in the city, and guarantee
at same time better fit. Yours respectfully,

Changing Color.

From, the Albanu Ca Neus and Advertiser.
A negro girl, 10 years of age, passed
through this city the other day. whose ap-
pearance excited the interest of all who
who were told of the inexplicable discolora-
tion of her skin. Her mother was very
dark in complexion, and said that her
daughter was equally so until a few
months since, when she began to turn white.
In appearance the skin is as healthy
white as that of a Caucasian, and her gen
eral health has been exceptionally good.
Her hair has turned white also.
This discoloration is occasionally known
and results from disease either of the whole
system or involving only the pigment, or
the coloring matter which is present in all
races. This instance has presidents where
the general health is not at all impaired, but
the disease destroys the secreting effect of
the layer Of the skin which holds the pig
ment.
1t is possible that by restoration of the
functions of the pigment secreting organs,
that one who has thus undergone gradual
discoloration may again assume the natural
hue
