Enough detail Of the stock market has
been given to show that the advance has
been general and not confined to any par

roads OF any particular section OF country.
This would prove that the monied men Of

pretty freely. AS the stock market does
not make any serious decline after such a

RepuIsive Remedies Prescribed for Ger
tain Ailments.
A baldheaded man would hesitate
before following Sir John MancrieHs
advice to make lee of the burnt
ashes of doves dung, and wash the
head well,'' although there is some
consolation in learning that the same
beneficial results would accrue from
using ''the ashes of little frogs" The
hair, according to this authority, may
be changed to a golden tint by using
simple lotion composed of the ashes
of the ivy plant. Ladies who sigh for
a fair complexion may secure it by
such pleasant method as washing the
face with "the distilled water of
snails;'' and the application of ''liver Of
sheep, fresh and hot will make the
whole face we'll colored.
Should the nose unfortunately bleed,
and the familiar remedy of thrusting
bunch of keys down the back of the
neck fail of the desired result, then the
assured styptic is to put into the nos
| trils mixture of the hair of a hare
and vinegar. Sir John bears testi-
mony, Il myself know this to be the
best of anything known" Blood flow
ing from a cut may be instantly
stauched by simply holding a jasper in
the hand, or by. putting cows blood
into the wound. The reader will be
apt to remark that neither of these is
a handy remedy for such an emergency.
| An ointment made of earthworms will
cure paralysis if the affected parts be
anointed with the compound.
| Sleeplessness, so common an ailment
in our own time, can be removed, ac-
cording to Sir John, by applying ''liv-
ing creatures to the head to dissolve
the humor;'' and Sir John narrates
that for measles many keep an eve or
wedder in their chamber or on the bed,
because these creatures are easily in
fected and draw the venom to them
selves by which means some ease may
happen to the sick person." In SIM
