The prevalence of that troublesome
malady, the grip, in many ports of the
country this winter gives special inter
est to new remedy much in vogue in
Kentucky and which is declared by its
inventor to be specific. Tho prescrip-
tion, as written out by the discovercr,
who is am aged colored man, reads thus:
"Castroil, turpintine, and hog-huf tea" :"
These simple remedies are readily pro-
cured in any family, the "hog-huf tea"
being obtained by purching and pulver-
izing the hoofs of swine, from which
the decoction is made. II the hog is
born in the dark of the moon and has
two heart-shaped spots on Its left leg
the remedy will be much more potent.
The largest liberty rs to the dose is left
to the patient.

It is related of Rev. David Short that
when he was pastor of the Penn Avenue
Baptist church at Scranton, Pa, he was
jealous in the work of securing new
members. One man, with whom he had
Iabored eNhaustively, was finally per-
suaded as to his Christian duty, but
could not make up his mind whether
to become a Baptist or Methodist.
Finally he hit upon compromise and
wrote to the doctor that he had decided
to unite with the Methodists, but would
like to be baptized in the Baptist
church by immersion. This so eXasper-
ated the good doctor that lie sent the
following reply: II regret that can
not accommodate you, but this church
does not take in washing"
