Home Remedies.

Should these remedies seem pecu-
liar and starnge to you, please do not
J (for your own sake) reject them be-
cause of that for l beg leave to as
sure you that they will do all I claim
for them. Here is one of the pre-
seriptions which is easily filled in al
most every farmers house: Into a
bottle put two tablespoons of salt
and cover it an inch deep with spirits
of camphor. Let it stand a little
while, frequently shaking it and it is
ready for use. Now I will tell you
what it has done for me. 1 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 al
most covering them. The blisters
bursted open and I was in great agony.
Before they were so bad I went to two

above Except she said whisky and

the house, so I used spirits Of cam
phor Unsteady. [ began by putting a
little on the side of my hand and it
seemed to cool it. / then applied it
to the blisters coming on my fingers
it eased them instantly. Then l
mustered all my courage and put it
into tie open blisters. Well, for half
a minute it stung; then it was over
and my hands were so cool and easy
that I threw away the cloths and the
doctors medicines, and went right to
bed and to rest. Of course, I had to
apply it frequently until the disease
was killed. Internally, I took15 drops
| of tineture 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
a few hours. 1t will kill the poison
of the sting Of a bee or wasp, stop
ping the pain almost instantly. When
my throat gets sore (as it often does),
I take a little of the ealted camphor
in my mouth and holding my breath I
gargle it in my throat for an instant,
| then spit it out in a hurry. 1t is
severe, but the last time I tried it,
twice using it was enough.
Here is another home remedy just
as effectual in it's place, that of heal
ing 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. It 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 the chain of his binder
and tore the nail off by the roots.
The above remedy not only healed it
but prevented its getting sore. l
think he MIXED with that han. inside
of a week. A cousin ran nail into
his foot by jumping off a 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.

THE Parsons Trouble.

"Once in awhile" said a minister
from out of town, II am asked a ques-
ton that I cannot answer Not long
ago, early one Sunday morning, |
walked out on my little farm and came
to a piece of woods where the SPUR
rels were always numerous. On the
limb of a tree which hung across the
road I saw a pretty little fellow sit
ting nibbling at a nut. He didn't see
me, and I drew my gun on him and
caught him just as straight as a die.
He fell, but caught on a limb and hung
dangling over the road. Just then !
saw one of my church members COM
ing along on horseback, and I suddenly
recollected that it was the Sabbath.
Not wishing to influence by bad exam
pie, I stuck my gun hastily inside the
fence. When the man rode up, he
said
Good morning, Brother Barker
I thought I heard a gun
"Did you {" I asked. "In what
direction ?"
Just then the dead squirrel dropped
from the tree right down on the pom
mel of my parishioner's saddle. We
looked at each other a moment. Then
I said:
"Brother Roberts, I must ask you
to forgive me and not to mention this
little affair. I came out for a walk,
and for a moment I forgot it was the
holy Sabbath day"
''That' all right" Brother Roberts
smilingly replied. II won't tell any
body-this is a nice fat squirrel-but,
my dear preacher, please tell me how
did you happen to bring your gun p

One day the fox approached the
farmer. who was working in his field
and after saluting him with a great
show of heartiness and friendship OBJ

II have called to have a talk with

The Real MOonshfrrer.

He is neither a bandid, nor q high
wayman, a disturber Of the peace, nor,
in respect to formularies other than
the revenue statutes, a law breaker.
Least Of all, perhaps, is he desperate.
Within a month Of the present writing
a traveller on one of the Tennessee
railways entered a smoking car of the
train. In the real seat sat an officer
in charge of a "covey" of moonshiners
flushed by him on the mountain the
night before. There were IL in the
party. They had yielded without re-
s~istance to one man, and, most singu-
lar circumstances of all in the South,
the deputy had not found it necessary
to put them in irons.
at their trial the members of this
party will doubtless plead guilt to a
man, though a little nard swearing
would probably clear half of them /;
they will beg for mercy OF for light
sentences, and those of them who
promise amendment will most likely
never be again brought in on the same
charge, for the mountaineer is prone
to keep his promises.
A venerable Judge, in whom judicial
severity is tempered By a generous ad-
mixture of loving kindness and mercy,
and whose humane decisions have
made his name a word to conjure with
among the jewellers in the waste places,
tells a story which emphasizes the
promise-keeping trait in the mountain
character. A hardened sinner of the
stills, whose first and second offences
were already recorded against him,
was once again brought to book by the
vigilance of the revenue men,. As'an
old offender, who had neither promised
nor repented, it was likely to 60 hard
with him and he begged not for lib
erty, but for q communication OF his
sentence which would send him to
jail instead of the penitentiary, prom
Using that 80 long as the Judge remain
ed upon the Bench he would neither
make nor NEEDLE with illicit whiskey.
He won his case and was sent to
jail for a term Of II months. This
was in the summer, and six months
later, when the first SHOWS began to
powder the bleak SUBMITS of Chilho-
wee, the Judge received a letter from
the convict. It was a Supplemented
petition for a "furlough'' of ten days,
pathetic and eloquent in it's primitive
English and quaintmisspelling. Would
the good Judge let him off for just ten
days2 Winter was coming on, and
the wife and children were alone in
the cabin on the mountain, with no
one to make provision for their wants:
He would not overstay the time, and
he would certain shore come back.
His petition was granted, and, true
to his word, the mountaineer returned
on the tenth day and gave himself up
to the sheriff. He served the remain
der of his sentence, and, after his re-
lease, kept his pledge SO long as the
Judge remained on the Bench-Lip-
pincott's Magazine.

stone house, which had been specially

AS soon as Hickman stepped inside

Fortunately he had a box of matches

place was the door through which he
had entered, now closed and securely

Not satisfied, however, Hickman

LIGHT ON the MYSTERY.
Justice Hot on The Trail Of the Hiqhwaymsn
Who Waylaid 4 Citizen.

A little light has been let in upon the
mysterious assault committed upon a
well known business man of this CITY
while walking home Tuesday night.
He was near Green street on State
about eleven o'clock when two men
without warning came up from behind.
threw themselves upon him and hurled
him to the ground. There ray of
light from street lamp fell across his
face and with an exclamation of ter
| ror the two highwaymen fled.
The mystery was profound one.
The victims reputation for sobriety
and veracity is of the best but he was
uninjured and beyond little dirt upon
! his clothes from contact with the
ground had nothing to prove as
sault and nothing by which he could
hope to identify his assailants, except
that he remembered one to have been
rather tall and spare with clerical
aspect. while the other was short
with a tendency to rotundity and wore
the air of humorist. Both. the vic
tim is convinced. are sprinters, and he
declares that while the legs of the
shorter assailant are not more than
half as long as those of his compan-
ion they moved with twice the celebrity
in the mad flight which they took
upon getting a glimpse of their vic
TINS face.
Yesterday, investigation revealed
the fact that two club men, who cores
pond somewhat in appearance to the
remembrance the waylaid citizen has
of his assailants, have been in the hab-
it on returning from a hand at whist
to wait for and waylay in a spirit OF
fun the janitor of certain club in
this city while on his way home.
The detectives working upon this
clue are of the opinion that these men
mistook the peaceable citizen Tuesday
evening as their favorite victim and
pounced upon him but that when his
face was revealed to them and the
full realization of the horrible crime
they had committed dawned upon them
they fled in the widest terror imagin-
ing at every jump the reports of pis-
toll in the hands of an indignant ct-
zen and the whistlng of bullets about
their burning ears. If this proves to
be the correct solution of the mystery
those men will be heavily fined.
