HOME REMEDIES.

Should these remedies seem peculiar
and strange to you, please do not (for
your own sake) reject them because of
that; for beg leave to assure you that
they will do all I claim for them.
Here is one of the prescriptions which
Is easily filled in almost every farmers
house Into d bottle put two table
spoons OF salt and cover it an inch deep
with spirits of camphor. Let it stand
little while, frequently shaking it, and
it is ready for use. Now l will tell
you what it has done for me. l had
the erysipelas badly. My hands were
swollen until my fingers stood apart
and were nearly as thick as two hands,
and the backs were dark and almost
purple in color, and great blisters
almost covering them. The blisters
bursted open and 1 was in great agony.
Before they were so bad l went to two
of those who are considered our best
physicians, but they did me no good.
Erysipelas was in possession Of both
feet and was making its way ON my
face. A friend spoke to me of the
above Except she said whisky and
salt; we never keep that article in the
house, so I used spirits of camphor
steady. I uegan by putting little
on the side of my hand and it seemed
to cool it. ! then applied it to the blis.
ters coming on my fingers it eased
them instantly. Then I mustered all
my courage and put it into the open
blisters. Well, for half minute it
s,ung; then it was over and my hands
were 30 cool and easy that 1 threw
away the cloths and the doctors med
icines, and went right to bed and to
rest. Of course, I had to apply it fire.
quently until the disease was killed.
Internally, I took 15 drops Of tinture
of iron once in two hours. That was
eight or nine years ago this coming
summer. I have never had even a
touch of erysipelas. When applied in
time, it will kill it inside of few hours.
It will kill the poison of the sting of u
bee or wasp, stopping the pain almost
instantly. When my throat gets sore
las it often does), I take little of the
salted camphor in my mouth and hold
ing my breath gargle it in my throat
for an instant, then spit it out in d
hurry. 1t is severe, but the last time
I tried it, twice using it was enough.
Here is another home remedy just
as efectual in its place, that of healing
wounds. Into a lineup put a half
tablespoon of white sugar, cover it with
spirits of turpentime, set it on the
stove until it smokes. 1t is then ready
for use. Must be applied hot as can be
borne. Here is what it has done.
Last summer, my husband caught his
middle finger of the right hand under
chain of his binder and tore the nail
off by the roots. The above remedy
not only healed it but prevented its
getting sore. think he milked with
that hand inside of a week. A cousin
ran a nail into his foot by jumping or
fence or wagon on to it. His foot
was very bad and getting no better.
He came here and I applied this
remedy, and in about three days he
put on his boot and went back to his
place to work. Western Rural.

HE WAS SMART.

"You wouldn't take me for a very
sharp fellow, would you?" asked an
old man who lives in "boomed" dis
trict of Tennessee. Several men were
sitting on the platform at railway
station, waiting for train. The old
fellow had come with pies, made OF
dried peaches, and had offered in vain
sell out for 10 cents.
"No," answered one of the men, III
wonld not take you to be very sharp"
"Well, I'll just tell you how sharp l
was. Two or three weeks ago, after
the boom sot in over yander at Cardiff,
Inpticed one mornin' that lot of fel-
lows was pokin' round in my field. l
went over an found that they had a
lot of chains an three legged things,
an was taking sight at nothing in par
ticular. But 1 soon seed that they
must "a had somethin' particular in
view, fur they didn't want to tell me
what Their business was, an finally
they worried me so with draggin' of
chains an takin' of sight that told
them that if they didn't move on away
I would set the dogs on them. That
brought them to time, an one of them
draw'd me to one side an asked me
what would take for that field. Wall,
I didn't know. 1t was putty fair
piece of land, an I WANT itchin' to
sell it, still I mout be dragged into
partin' with it. They didn't seem
very anxious about the price-all they
'peared to want to know was if they
could git the land. Finally told
them that they mout have it for 81, 900,
a putty high mark, I can tell you but
they bit like trout. They paid me
the money an I went home about as
happy man as thar was in the coun-
ty. Wall, the next day, what did 1
diskiver? Them fellers begun to lay
off the land in town lots, an then my
wife hoped on me. She lowed that l
never did have no sense nohow, an
swore that them fellers would build a
town right thar under our very noses
an sell the lots for big money an that
we would have to set thar with our
little 81 900 dollars an see city with
great blocks of buildings grow up. l
seed the point, an the next day got
feller to slip around an buy up the
lots. I bored all the money I could
an wife she borred all she could, an
after investing nearly $4,000, we were
masters of the situation. We had
hearn of the new railroad that was
comm in an we waited an waited,
but it didn't come; so after while,
seein' that the men had stopped takin'
sight an draggin' thar chains, went
around to investigate, an 10 an be-
hold the fellers had dun left the
neighborhood. I have sense learned
that they have played that trick in
several places, an that they never did
build no town. They put the job
mighty nice, an the feller that was so
sharp in buyin' back the land for me
was one of the raskils himself. Now,
my wife lows that I am the biggest
fool in the world, an has gone to town
to get divorce from me, an here am
tryin' to sell pies fur livin'."

EMERGENCY REMEDIES.

There are many accidents constantly
occurring among the little people, for
no matter how careful older ones are
to place dangerous things out ofreach,
there's apt to be time of forgetting,
and then the dire consequences. Now
it is.hot water, again the hatchet or a
sharp knife; possible concentrated lye
is swallowed, or buttons or thimble
find their way into strange places in
baby's economy.
For scalds from hot water or stove
there is nothing more apt to be handy
than baking soda wet it up soft and
apply freely. If burn is superficial or
of Slight extent, binding it up with this
is all that will be necessary. 1flye has
been drunk it is seldom that vomiting
does any good the amount is usually
small. The best treatment is sweet oil
or even melted lard if you haven't the
oil. to counteract the caustic effects OF
the I've. The after Inflammation OF
stomach and bowels which sometimes
follows will need specific treatment
quite beyond the power of the laity.
Usually when any foreign or poison
Gus matter has been swallowed the
first indication is to produce emesis.
If you have no syrup ipecac in the
house, add little mustard and salt
tc lukewarm water, and make the
child drink considerable. 1t is one OF
the promptest, most easily obtained
emetics known.
When the injury is cut, the treat
ment will depend on locality. If the
hemorrhage is severe, an artery may
need tying, but until doctor can be
secured, tie handkerchief, or some
thing around the limb, above the
wound, and place the limb in an eleva-
ted position.
For bee stings, probably the best
dressing is mud, as it is for most bites
or stings from insects.
Mud frequently removed is excellent
dressing for snake and dog bites after
they have been properly bled and
cauterized.
Foreign substances, in nose or ears,
of course, demand removing. But,
unless you are sure of success, don't
attempt it yourself, and by pushing the
obstacle out of reach make bad mat
ter worse. Call on surgeon at once.
If the not unusual accident of q "bug
in the ear" occur, waste no time trying
to drag the offender out, douse in sweet
oil, salad dressing, or molasses even, if
YOU haven't the other handy, anything
to entangle and quiet the intruder
before it makes the victim wild. 1t
can then be syringed out with warm
water.

THE words above are very large and
Il weighty, that is If you take into con-
sideration the full meaning of each, and
then take them all collectively. Take for
instance the word MUST. Webster says
MUST means ITO be obliged, to be neces-
stated" CAN, he says, "means the
power to do" WILL, Noah says, means
a determination or preference which re-
suits from the act or exercise OF choice"
Now, can say, and truthfully too, that
my business during the past few months
has been all that I could expect, and I
am we'll satisfied but then have good

The old man. agement sent out proxis, which have been very generally returned, and no change in management is anticipated, though early last week a rumor was current in Wall street that MT.

 The city of New Haven Is to receive proposals June 1 for $10o,000 4 per cent. sewer bonds. Owing to the ease in the money market, and scarcity of legal in- vestments, it is anticipated that these bonds will sell at handsome pre- mium.

HEMATITE,

The New Mining Camp in New Mexico.
 Elizabethtown, N. M, May 10, 1896. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Thinking some of your many readers would like to learn something of the new mining camp at Hematite, for ward you limited description of it and the other camps near. The nearest railroad point is Springer on the Santa Fe, from which stages run daily to the gold camps of Baldy, Henatite and Elizabethtown. The route is a, little north of west and ride of twenty miles brings you to the old town of Ci- marron, and the county seat of Colfax county. When you drive from Cimar- ron you follow up 8 stream of that name for twelve miles, where you change stages. From this point you enter the Cimarron canon, remarkable for it's wildness. Here you are struck by the first evidence of the wonderful mineral bearing district. Great bodies of iron ore stand out and are taken up by locators. A ride of a few miles brings you out into the great Moreno valley. This valley or basin lies east of the Taas range and is drained by the Moreno and Cimarron rivers. The wa ters of these streams is clear and cold and free from alkali The valley and canons are full of springs and the soil is very fertile. This valley is about twenty-five miles long by two to seven miles wide. The hills are covered with a dense growth of pine and spruce. The distance from Spinger is about fif- ty miles.
 You leave Spinger at ' a. m. and ar rive at Elizabethtown about s p. m. This is the end of the stage line. Eliza bethtown thirty years ago was famous for it's placer mines east of the town. The extent of the placer grounds in this vicinity is from twelve to fifteen thou sand acres. A majority has not been worked; in fact the. washing has hardly begun. The Maxwell Land Grant com pany contemplates establishing a sys- tenn of reservoirs, while at present the water comes from the Mareno river and ditch forty-two miles long. The out put annually is from fifty to one hun dred thousand dollars. The Lynch Bros are the principal operators. He matite is eight miles from these placer mines in Moreno gulch. There are at this time some twenty buildings. The town site has only sixty building lots, as the hills are very abrupt. The He matite creek runs through the town. This stream is clear and very cold, De-
