An exchange gives the follow
ing cure for broken dishes. 1t will
not cost much to try it and if it works
good it is valuable;A lady has found a
sure cure for broken dishes. If the
dish to be mended can be tied to-
gether with a stout string, then
placed in boiling milk and left for
one hour, you can never tell the dish
has been broken and it can after
wards be put in boiling water with
out the pieces coming apart. This
experiment has been tried and prov
en-, and many are the broken dishes
which were thought to be useless
and are now as good as ever.

If we are correctly informed
more than year has passed since
this county has been scourged by
travelling fakirs. The last gang
was the fruit tree orchard planting
crowd that gathered in many
sheckels Of their too confding Wet
inns They were preceded, by about
twelve months, by the cloth catalogue
gang that did a rushing and paying
business. 1t has been several years
since the festive travelling lightning
rod man has been here and his COM
ing may be looked for any day.
A safe way is to let travelling men
with whom you are not acquainted,
who wish to get your signature to a
paper, severely alone. Deal only
with those you know to be honest
and reliable. This advice is gra-
tiously offered by the Democrat as
it has been many times before. If
it is accepted and acted upon, there
are many who will profit thereby.
