The following small pox remedy
was given to the public by cor
respondent to the Stockton, (Cal. }
Herald, who says:
/ herewith append q recipe which
has been used to my knowledge in
hundreds of cases. It will prevent
or cure small pox, though the pit
tings are filing. When Junnes
discovered COW pox in England the
world of science hurled an ava
lanche of favors on his head, but
when the most scientific school of
medicine in the world, that of Paris
published this remedy as a pana-
cea for small pox, it passed unheed-
ed 1t is as unfailing as fate and
cOnquers in every instance. It Is
harmless when taken by we'll per-
son. II also cures scarlet fever.
Here is the recipe as / have used it
to cure scarlet fever; here it is as I
have used it to cure small pox:
Sulphate of zinc, one grain; fox
glove (digitalis) }, one grain, half a
tablespoonful of sugar; mix with
two tablespoonful of water. When
thoroughly mixed, add four ounces
OF water. Take a spoonful every
hour. Either disease will disap-
pear in twelve hours For child
smaller doses according to age. If
counties would compel their ply
sicians to use this, there would be
no use of pest house. Ii you value
advice and experience, use this for
this terrible disease.

a Timeless Village.

From the note book of a recent trav.
eler in Alsace: 'On my return from
Beichen looked upon the beautiful
villages of the Lewen valley, and be-
ing tourist who likes to poke his nose
into everything, I turned by chance
into the church at kirchberg. On
coming out / took out my watch to
regulate it by the clock in the church
tower. But there was no clock TO be
seen. Hence l went into tho village
inn. and there asked the time. But
mine host could not obiige me. You
see. he said, we have no use for
clocks In the morning we go by the
smoke rising from the chimney at the
parsonage up on the hill. The parson-
ege people are very regular. We dine
when dinner is ready. At four in the
afternoon the whistle of the train com.
ing from Westminster tells us that she
time has come for another meal, and
at night we know that it is time 20 90
to bed when it is dark. On SUNDAYS

! The whole Philippine archipelago is
the smokers paradise. Quantities OF
tobacco of the finest havors grow in
tropic luxuriance on the uplands, and
everyone is an adept at smoking. Boys
and girls OF ten use the weed hourly
and roll their own cigars with the
dizziness OF their parents. It is . COM
mon sight to see in the streets OF
Manila father and mother saunteriug
along with enormous cigars In their
mouths and followed by fve or six
children. varying in ages from ten to
twenty, all smoking. At the little
theater in Manila, where few per-
fOrmances are given in each winters
season, everyone smokes. and the
roof is so arranged that the smoky air
can pass quickly away In every home,
whether in the country or in the
heart of Manila. there are ALWAYS
heaps Of dried tobacco leaves, tied in
bunches, upon the floor or in q shed
near the house. and the provident
Tagal lays in q stock Of tobacco for
household purposes several times a
year as carefully as the American
does the family supply of potatoes or

little Tobacco is exported, and the rea-
son given is that the Spanish. for their
own reasons, have discouraged and

Neuralgia and rheuma tism are mere

nervous tissues. AS far as causes go.
they do not much differ from nervous
dibilty, headaches, dyspepsia and sleep

The mischief is the same in every

Prof. Andrew Anderson, Robert Mar
tins and other celebrated players, who
first defeated him and then were
beaten by him.
For many years Wyllie went about
the country peddling watches q q reg
ular business and playing checkers for
money against all corners. For more
than twenty years he has been travel
ing about the world. charging ''shul-
len" Tor every game played with him,
and occasionally contesting matches
for stakes, which he usually has won.
He came to this country in 1878, and
played over IL, 900 games of checkers,
OF which he lost less than 80. In ,ISS1
he again visited America, and won H.
664 out Of 1887 games, drawing .1,754
and losing only 1O9. AS he charged
Americans 25 cents q game for the
privilege of playing with him, he must
have earned q fair income. In this
country he played matches with c. r.
Barker, Of Boston. C. A. Freeman, Of
Providence, and tho late r. D. Yates,
OF Brooklyn, winning from Barker and
losing to the others. AS Wyllie has
had highly successful tours in England
and in Australia, it is believed that he
has acquired snug fortune.
Wyl1ie claimed the title Of Cham.
pion draughts player of the world" I'M
til last year, when he was beaten by
James Ferrie, a much younger Scotch
player, in a match of Linety games, Of
which Ferrie won thirteen and Wyllis
six. the remaining games being drawn.
After the match the old man said, de-
spairingly: Il doot I'm too old for
draughts, but since then he has played
thousands of games, and has made re-
markable scores in many places in
Scotland. He has often been called
''close" and ''canny." and he has sel-
dom failed to win matches on which
has been staked much ''siller" In late
years his hearing has been extremely
dull, but his eyes are still keen. He
talks with broad Scotch accent when
he has anything to say, but, like many
other experts in the silent game he
is inclined to be taciturn He has been
temperate and careful in his habits
during his long life. although he ha.
been rowing from place to place almost
continually.
