4 Good Liniment.

A cheap stimulating linimcnt which
will be almost ohorleSs and vet effective
for outside application can he made as
follows: In one quart Of turpcntinc mix
one quart of coal oil. Pack half an
ounce of ;llkanet root and two ounces
of pulverizcd capSlcum in large. or
binary funnel. Over this mixture pour
the turpcntine and oil. allowing it all
to percolate through the capsicum and
alkanet root. In this way it will en-
tract the substance of the capsicum
and take on :, beautiful red from the
alkanet. After this has been done add
one ounce Of the oil of peppermint and
four ounces OF gum camphor. To make
it more fragrant add a little oil Of pep
per grass. This liniment thus COM
pleted is Il strong, etficacious one to rub
on the skin. and so clean and fragrant
that even the most fastidious would
not hcsitat0 to use it.

both reports will be printed and will be
laid upon the senators desks when the SEN

debate relative to these cases may be pre-

part OF senators who expect to participate

possible. for the reason that it is thought
the debate will run along the better part Of
