Onions for Diphtheria.

FROM inc SClShtllC 4AhleliSth-
''Why don't they use onions For
goodness sake why don't they use onions !!
Where do they live? l will so up there
today and tell them to use onions y Such
were the EXPLANATIONS of our mother, says
the editor of the Danvers Mirror, when we
reported one day at dinner that child of
Mr.. G. W. Dudley was dead and the whole
family including himself, alarmingly sick
with diphtheria. Mother was moved to
these earnest and interested expressions by
Il firm belief that she knows several lives
saved by the use of onions in diphtheria,
one of them being our sister. In these
cases raw onions were placed in a bandage
and beaten into pulp, the cloths, contain
ing onions, juice and all, being then bound
about the throat and well up over the ears.
Renewals may be made as often as the
mass becomes dry. In the cases noticed
the result was almost magical deadly pain
yielding ia q short time to sleepy comfort.
The editor adds the wish that this remedy
might have wide enough trial to fully
test its usefulness.

Something to be Cut Out and Re-

Samuel Snyder, progressive and sue
cessful farmer of Washington county, Md,
has novel way of making hay. Instead
of cutting the grass with scythe or now
er, as is usually done, he uses a self-binder,
after which the sheaYes are gathered and
shocked and left stand for few days, when
they are hauled to the barn or stacked

way and can be made with much less labor
and expense

Mr.. Cleveland lately wrote to Brook
lyn youth who asked his advice about get
ting political appointment "There are
no persons so forlOrn and so much to be
pitied as those who have learned in early
life to look to public positions for liveli-
hood. 1t units man or boy for any
other business, and is apt to make kind
of respectable vagrant of him."

Preserving Iron from Rust.


The beautiful ironwork so much in
vogue nowadays, is generally finished, on
account of its susceptibility to rust, with a
coating of black lacquer, or some other
preparation, which is not only inappropri-
ate but gives to the metal an unnatural
appearance. A clever Frenchman, who
was an expert in metal work, showed us
such simple and effective way of pre-
serving it from rust, that it is worth remem-
bering. The only material required is a
cows horn (the toy trumpets sold in the
shops will answer the purpose.) Heat the
iron and rub the edge of the horn over it,
that is all. If the horn smokes little as
YOU rub it on you will know that the iron
Is hot enough This will cause the horn
TO melt, and an imperceptible coating will
be left upon the iron that will afford COM
plete protection from the damp for year
or more on outdoor work. On indoor
ironwork it will last indefinitely.

ERNEST W. sHURTLEFF.
There's nothing more pure in heaven,
And nothing on earth more mild.
More full of the light that is all divine
Than the smile of little child!
so sweet it is. so simple,
And yet so angel-wise.
With the peace Of God on the dear, smooth brow.
And the love OF Christ in the eyes.
The sinless lips, halfparted
With breath as sweet as the air,
And the light that seems so glad to shine
In the gold of the sunny hair.
D little one smile and bless me!
For somehow know not why
! feel In my soul when children smile
That angels are passing by.
| feel that the gates OF heaven
Are nearer than knew.
That the light and the hope of that sweeter world
Like the dawn, are breaking through
