Neuralgia in the face has been cured by
applying mustard plaster to the elbow.
For neuralgia in the head apply the plas-
ter to the back of the neck. The reason
for this is that mustard is said to draw or
bum, and to be of most use must be ap-
piled to the nerve centres, or directly
over the place where it will touch the
affected nerve most quickly.

What steps have our authorities taken
in regard to the oil warehouse at the rail-
road This thing is too dangerous to fool

An excellent and simple wash to keep
the hands white and smooth after the
occasional dish washing which comes to
almost all housekeepers is equal parts OF

keep bottle of prepared and standing
in the kitchen closet. Wash the bands
first thoroughly IN warm water, wipe
them dry and rinse thoroughly in the mix
ture. The same preparation is good to
remove stains from the hands.
Among the sights at the unyeiling Of
the Jackson statue at Lexington was a
handkerchief, the property of Mr.. John
Houseman, of Augusta county, which
contained fifty-three bullet holes. Mi.

kerchief in his pocket, making the num-
Der of holes above named. 1t passed en-
tirely through his body and lodged just
under tie skin in the right thigh. He
also had the ball with him.
One ofthe most enjoyable affairs that
has taken place in old Shenandoah fol

meadow, near Forest lille, on Saturday
= night of last week. The ground was fill
ed with enough beautiful girls to make
an old bachelor grow cross-eyed, while
I the refreshments were all that could be
, desired. The Forestville Brass Bant
furnished fine music, such as would be {
credit to a much older organization.
