 No doubt many of our readers have wondered by what process fruits are preserved for show purposes so as to retain their beautiful appearance for years. The edible qualities of such fruits would generally be found disap' pointing on trial, as little cOnsidera- ton of the following method may show: Prepare saturatel solution of rock salt in water add to it little borax and alum, and when these shall have been dissolved strain the brine through a fine cloth. Place the fruit in jars or bottles, pour on the brine and cork closely.

Parasitic Worms in Calves.

When a calf coughs and discharges frothy substance from the mouth and nos4rils, and is also troubled with diarrhea. it is suffering from parasitic worms-small thread worms Tn the throat and bowels. The worms give a great deal of trouble to all young animals, from chickens up to calves. The remedy is to give turpentine with sulphate of iron in an emulsion of linsecd oil in gum wafa7, Dissolve two ounces of gum arabic in quart of water; add one pint of raw linseed crii,,-half pint of turpentine, and one ounce of powdered sulphate of ir dn. give a tablespc onful every morning ari hour before feeding, Shake the mixture well before giving il. -A0'er- ican Ddiryntdal

Fo,r Dreau, oY Women.

Tennyson, in his exquisite poem, dreams of long procession of lovely women of ages past. This is all very well, but the laureate would have done the world great CT service if he had only told the women of the present how they could improve their health and enhance their charms. This he might easily have done by recommending the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip- tion. Health is the best friend of beauty, and the innumerable ills to which women are peculiarly subject, it's worst enemies. Long experience has proven that the health of womankind and the "Favorite Prescrip- tion" walk hand in hand, and are insepara- ble. Itis the only medicine for women, sold by druggists, under q positige Cotard1ltee from the manufacturers, that it will give satis- faction in every case, or money will be re, funded. This guarantee has been printed on the bottle-wrapper, and faithfully carried out for many years.

MEDIAEVAL MEDICINE.
Absurdities os Ignorance in Which Our Ancestors Had Implicit Faith.

Absurdities os Ignorance in Which Our
 Ancestors Had Implicit Faith.
 A lover of the curiosities of medical literature hasunearted some interest ing practices amongithe superstitious people of mediaeval times. Among other absurdities of ignorance it was held that a chip from gallows, on which several persons had been hanged. worn. in bag around the neck, was cure for ague. A halter
 by which some criminal had beer hung was bound around the temples as an infallable cure for headache. Tumors of the glands were said to be driven away" by nine blows of dead mans hand, while the hand of man who had been cut down from the gallows was said to- work wonders in this particul ar. A ring made from coffin was applied for the relief of cramps, which were also said to be dispeled by a rusty sword hanging by the patients bed. If one had the toothache, one was told to go and drive nails in an. oak tree, which, it is true. would not kill tic pain, but was sure preventative against future attack. A stone with a hole in it, hung at the head of one's bed, was said to cure nightmare, the cause of. that evil being thought to be witches, who sat on the patients stomach; hence the pendent and stone was called a s'hac-stone. The ''hag-stone" was used generally as safeguard against all of the ills which were ascribed to impish interference; and it is aston- i hing to find many such old practices, the relics of superstition iand igno- rance, still kept up by people who ought to know better. Ik is, for .in- stance, a custom to this day for people of a certain class to steal meat from the butcher, rub It on warts, and then bury it, the warts being expected to vanish as the process of deconrposi- ton sets in. :. The writer remembers having tried this when child at the recommendation of servant girl, but, it is needless to say, with very satisfactory results. Only stolen meat. and beef notably. was held to be officacious. Pricking a wart with a pin till the blood came and then throw. inr the pin was also said to drive warts away, the warts being promptly transferred 10 the hands of whoever picked up the pin. A potato carried in the pocket is still recommended to lheurpatics, and hundreds of like prac- iices are in vogue at the present day among the poor and ignorant especi- ally the immigrants of the peasant c'as7 with whose ridiculous remedies the physician often has to deal with .>eummary severity. y.-AedicGJ Register.

To Remove Common Warts.

It is now fairly established that the common wart, which is so unsightly, and so often proliferous, on the hands and face. can be easily removed by small doses of sulphate of magnesTa taken Internally. NJ Col rat, of Lyons, has drawn attention to this extraordinary fact. Several chil- dren treated with three grains of ep- som salts, morning and evening, were promptly cured. M. Aubers cites a case of a woman whose nose was dis figured by these excrescences, and who was cured in a month. by 2 drachm and a half of magnesia taken daily. Another medical man reports a case of large warts which disappeared in a fortnight from the daily administra- :tion of ten grains of salts. -Aedtca. Press. -.-... --s

Leave hope behind,

So ran the dire warning which Dante read on the portals of the Inferno. So runs the cruel verdict of your friends if you are overtaken by the first symptoms of that terrible disease, consumption. "Leave hope behind! Your days are numbered! p And the struggle against death is given up in despair. But while there is life, there is hope! Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery has cured hundreds of cases worse than yours; and it will cure you, if taken in time. But delay is dangerous. No power can restore a wasted lung; the Golden Medical Discovery however, can and will arrest the disease.

Horrible Slaughter of Elephants in the
 Jungles of India.

Horrible Slaughter of Elephants Tn the
 Juncles of India.
 few nights ago A was on a visit to DEA. the manager of my tea and coffee estate. Their evening tubs over, the sportsnIen had, after the manner of neglige bachelor planters, attired themselves in their sleeping suits, and were awaiting the announce ment of dinner, when it was an- nounced that five elephants were on the estate. It was already very dark for shooting, and there was no time for ceremony; so A, who was little ahead of D., proceeded at once to business. The elephants were d. most invisible, but A could make out the contour of the head of one about fifteen yards off, he aimed for the ear, and his first barrel missed fire; without waiting to reload he fired his second barrel, and the elephant col lapsed. D. in the meantime gave another elephant both his bullets in the head The three un- wounded elephants made off but not so D-'s; he commenced stamping up and down glass ridge close al hand, swearing horribly. D- loaded again sharp. but A discov- cred to his horror that his cartridges had damned. At this juncture mat ters began to look serious; but for tunately the elephants fears got the better of his temper and he made off. A spent night of feverish uncer- tainty but the dawn of day found him at the scene of action rejoicing over the carcass of his first elephant
 The following is also story for the truth of which can vouch and many Madras shikaries of the last generation will probably recogniz3 the sportsman. celebrated elephant shot, lately retired from the service. from the story. The incident occurred early in his career, and was one of many that procured him a name for being. if not the best. ono of the best elephant-slayers in India. It was in the days before the brilliant idea of preserving the most mischievous brutes that walk the jungles, under the SUD- position that some day they may want to catch them, had suggested itself to an enlightened government and, on the other hand. large rewards were offered for the destruction of the virmin. On the accession in question he and his trackers got among a herd of elephants. but in grass so long that it interfered with shooting. M, however. was equal to the emergency; he went up to an elephant and dropped it dead; then, seizing a spare gun. he jumped onto the car. cass from which elevated perch he shot two more elephants right and left" Some men talk about theil shooting averages. What will the majority of such say to five elephants in five shots, which feat has been per- formed once to my certain khowl- edge, and l have been told more than once. by the aforementioned sports man? This record. however, is said to have been beaten by native, whc killed two elephants with one shot! He shot a COW and she fell and squashed her calf - The Asian.
