Something TO Paste Up.

For a sore throat cut slices OF fat,
homeless bacon, pepper thickly, and tie
around the neck with flannel cloth.
When stung by bee or wasp, make
a paste of common earth and water, put
on the place at once and cover with q
cloth.
For cold on the chest, flannel rag
wrung out in boiling water and sprin-
kled with turpentine, LAID on the chest,
gives the greatest relief.
Wheu a felon first begins to make its
appearance, take lemon. cut off one
end, put the finger in. and the longer it
is kept there the better.
For cough, boil one ounce of flax
seed in pint OF water, strain and add
a little honey. one ounce of rock candy
and the juice of three lemons mix and
boil well drink as hot as possible.
Often after cooking a neal person
will feel tired and have no appetite; for
this beat raw egg until light, stir In a
little milk and sugar aid season with
nutmeg, drink half an hour before eat
ing.
For burn or scald, make paste of
common baking soda and water, apply
at once and cover with linen cloth.
When the skin is broken apply the white
of an egg with feather this gives in
slant relief, as 1t keeps the air from the
flesh.
AT the first signs ot a run-round, take
cup OF wood ashes, put the pan on the
stove, put your finger in the pan, keep
it there until the water begins to boil,
or as long as can be borne repeat once
or twice if necessary.

Taking Medicine.

Physicians prescribe less medicine
now than used TO be the custom in for
mer days, and possibly would give still
fewes doses, il il we're not for the preju-
dices OF their patients. who feel that
nothing is being done for their cure uu-
less they have something TO take. The
truth IS that often pure air, rest and alb
sence from food fo- a time is all that is
needed to give relief, and the conscien-
tioUs doctor hesltatss TO other drugs
which he knows are unnecessary. II a
person who Is suffering from fever is
shut upin an unventilated room, breath
ing the same air over and over again,
covered with twice as many bed clothes
as are required, for fear he might take
cold, and given whatever food ne can be
persuaded 10 eat, the fever is not likely
TO ab2te. Yet IL when the physician
came he were to say, "open the window.
take of all the blankets but one. and
give him 2 COO sponge bath every thee
hours, and let him have nothing but
milk. cracked ice and cold water" and
then go away without prescribing fur
ther, the friends OF the sufferer would
shake their heads and sigh TO one an
other. We must send for some one
else at once. How can he get well

An Editor In Trouble.

The following is told by the Dayton
Ne,cS OF an Armstrong county editor
and pair of trousers
THE editor had ordered a pair of
trousers from the tailor. On trying
them on, they proved TO be several inch
es too long. 1t being late on Saturday
night the Tailor's shop was closed, and
the editor took the trousers to his wife,
and asked her to cuG them off and hem
them over.
The good lady, whose dinner perhaps
had disagreed with her, refused. The
same results followed on application to
his wifs's sister and his eldest daughter.
But before bedtime, the wife relent-
ingly took the pants, and cutting off
three inches from the legs, hemmed
them up nicely and hung them back in
the closet.
Half an hour later the daughter, ta-
ken with consumption for her unfiIial
conduct, took the pants and crt off three
inches, hemmed and replaced them.
Finally the sister in law felt the pangs
of conscience, and she too performed
an additional surgical operation on the
garment.
Whom the editor appeared at break
fast on Sunday, the family thought a
Highland chief had arrived.

Egg Culture.

The London Society of Arts recently
listened to a special lecture on eggs and
the duty of the English people to raise
their own eggs and not depend on for
eign fowls. The import of eggs into
England amounts to an annual value of
81. 600, 900, which means, at an average
OF cent piece, 125. 600, 600 dozen of
eggs. The import of eggs TO the United
States is about II, 900, 600 dozen a year.
The capital required in the production
of eggs, and the keeping of poultry, Is
small, the sale is regular and constant,
and as an article of food the egg is un-
TivalleG. While there are large ra!sers
Of poultry, with considerable invest
ments in birds and buildings, the vast
majority of the eggs marketed are pick
ed up in small quantities from the far
mers and from the villagers. There is
no reason why the United States should
depend upon any outside people for
single egg. To produce all they con-
sume would put money In their pockets.
The boys and girls on the farm could
find source of profit in paving little
more attention to fowls, Sin the rough, -
as it were, and if they reached out to
the incubator and the brooder they
would materially enlarge their profits,
while they also greatly enhance their
pleasure

The Public Building.

In private letter to gentleman in
this city, in reference to the U. S. Public
Building, Gen. Wheeler says:
Gas to the Public Building at Hunts
vile, l can only say that l have had fre
quent interviews with the Supervising
Architect, and am quite confident it will
be begun this spring. AS it has been
shown that larger building is desirable
than was first contemplated, am en-
deavoring to secure an additional appro-
priation Of $4,000, and have strong
hopes l may succeed.
The effort to secure an additional ap-
preparation will occasion 10 delay in be-
ginning work on the building, as | got
the Supervising Architect to insert a
clause in the contract providing for any
changes necessitated by the increased
appropriation contemplated in my bill. "

Your petitioners respectfully beg to

ter closet are rankly offensive, an un-
questioned nuisance, dangerous to the
health of residents and business men in
that locality, and request that 1t be
abated snd removed.
