TURPENTINE FOR LoCK-JAw-A
correspondent of the Scientific
American recommends turpentine
as certain cure for lock-iaw. He
says: Let any one who has an at
tack of lock jaw take a small quan-
tity of turpentine, warm it and pour
it on the wound, no matter where
the wound is or what its nature is
and relief will follow in less than
one minute. Nothing can be ap-
piled to severe cut or bruise that
is better than cold turpentine; it will
give certain relief almost instantly.
1t is also said to be a sovereign
remedy for Group. Saturate piece
of flannel ON the throat and chest
and in very severe cases three or five
drops on a lump of sugar may be
taken inwardlv. Every family
should have bottle on hand. 1t is
a simple remedy and can be easily
tested. In all serious cases, appli-
cation should be made under medical
advice"

Theodore Tilton, of the Golden


Age pays the following just tribute


to the mission and power of the


Roman Catholic Church:


We have not particle of sympa-
thy with the Protestant crusade
against the Catholic Church, and


have no intention of lending our


voice to the howl of one set of bigots


and fanatics against another set


only little more bigoted and SUI


perstitious than themselves. The
| Catholic Church has had mission


in history, and has done a work of


the greatest magnitude and moment.


She has bridged the chasm between


two civilizations. Through the long


night of centuries she brooded over


the nest that held the germs of all


that we count precious and sacred.
She was the only potential element
of order through ages of chaos, and
her mighty conservatism held to-
gether the very framework of So


ciety, which but for her tough grip
would have gone to pieces. She
civilized barbarianism, and taught
Pagan people the alphabet of christ


ianity in pictures that pleased while
they instructed, and in a worship
which filled their hearts with rever-
ence and awe. Nor is the mission
vet fulfilled. Her fingers hold the
heart strings of two hundred mill
lions of people, more than half of
whom are still ignorant and morally
undeveloped. Unclasp her strong
but tender hand on these uncultured
hearts, remove the restraints she
imposes and abrogate the authority
she is, and we should have anarchy
at once. Professionalism has written
no creed, fashioned no cultus, framed
no church. developed nopower which
could begin to take the place which
the Catholic Church holds in the
world to-day Destroy this church,
which dates back to the days of the
Apostles, to which the Fathers be-
longed, and around which are gath
cred the most tender and sacred as
sociations of Christian history, and
Professionalism would be involved in
the general wreck. Protestants may
find enough to criticise and condemn
in the dogmas, the discipline, the
ritual, and the policy of that church;
but when they assail that church as
a monstrosity and a pest, and invoke
the civil power to check its growth,
if not to get rid of it altogether, they
show an ignorance as culpable, and
a biSotry as bad as anything they
condemn; they arraign the Provi-
dence they profess to serve, whose
methods are as perfect as they are

Perfect self-command is the best help
to good manners. q The example of the
Quakers is commendable. They, when
sitting down to meals, spend a minute
or two in silent prayer. Such a course
checks laughter and unseemly conversa-
ton, and gives them an opportunity to
start their conversation anew from want
age ground. Manners are great reveal
ers of secrets. The change in ones eX-
perience are manifest in their counte-
nanees, even if we are not always subtle
enough to understand them. A lady
loses much of her power when she en-
deavors to express undue admiration for
an object. Be temperate in your appro-
val, and we shall be credited with mean
ing what we express. Proper compan-
ionship is indispensable. A man who
thinks well will incite another's thought.
No man can be master in conversation
who has not talked with women. Be
ware of jokes; they are inestimable for
sauce, but poor for food. Things said
Tor conversation are chalk eggs. Avoid
talking shop or other forbidden subjects
before company. Again, the great game
is not to talk with those who know less
than yourself, but rather tilt with those
who are wiser than ourselves. We shall
then be overthrown, and learn true wis
dom thereby. Do not look sourly at the
club or society which refuses to admit
you. If you really belong to the circle,
the loss is theirs as well as yours, and
when you once get admitted you will ap-
preciate the barrier, and prize the rules
as greatly as any of them.

WEAVING AND CARE OF CoLTs.-When
colts are weaned they should never be
put with older animals of their own spe-
cies; a few together with an abundance
of room, will do best, and the attention
should be from one person who has sense
enough to discover any little matter
going amiss before it is serious, or, in
other words, he should have the gump-
ton to prevent every ailment horseflesh
is heir to, instead of waiting toacure it.
For instance, there may be colt among
several which is SO shy and nervous that
he is afraid to stand up and eat with the
others, till his share is nearly consumed.
There may be another naturally very
slow in masticating, which would loose
much of its share, and thus these animals
would pine away, for if enough was
given so that there would be more than
the boldest would eat, it would still be
wrong, as there would be a cloying of
the fastest eaters. This matter could
easily be remedied by separating and
other preventatives adopted in time to
meet every contingency, but in no sue
cessful undertaking of horsetraining
should there be a constant use of drugs
or resort to quackery.


l will briefly add that the main hints
to be given, are to make the colts fat
against winter, by extra food-to the
mare as well as the colt-if it cannot be
done without, and do not hurry about
weaning, as by feeding the mare well
she will not be injured. Give bran, oats,
and corn TOO, if you like, but not more
than one-third of the latter in proportion
to the bran, and no corn unless the colts
run out i'll the field. The whole dry, for
saliva is the natural fluid to assist in
digestion, and the loss of it with bran,
ETC., by mixing water with it, is partly
the cause of the gaunt frames one so fire.
quently sees. AS for cooking, any kind
of food, unless you choose to give some
linseed jelly, it is time thrown away, as

This exposition will open on the
9Th of September. Arrangements
have been entered upon with the con


fidence inspired by the success Of
the exposition of last year, and
doubtless the fame achieved by that
exposition will greatly extend the
field of its attractions: Extensive
additions have been made to the pre-
vious great buildings, and it may
safely bel said that for spaciousness,
convenience and centrality, there is
no exhibition building in the country
that equals it. The experience OF
last year will correct any imperfec-
tons that were felt IN the manage
ment of that, and may be expected
to reduce this to smooth system.
Much better arrangements are being
made for transportation. both of ar
ticles for exhibition and of visitors,
and the system of excursion trains
and of round trip tickets will be
much more extended than last year


: BY this cooperation, the railroads
can both increase their own profits
and greatly contribute to the success
and usefulness of the exposition. II

The more nearly an. equal thickness

better it will perform its. work! Dust,
grease and lubricating oils should on no
account be allowed to accumulate either
on the belt or the pulley. If the motion
is to be very rapid, the belt shouldff pos
sible be endless--that,is is, it should have
none but permanent joints, and it is es-
pecially desirable that the density and
dimensions should be uniform through

carefully avoided. If properly treated,
no appliance for the transmission of
power possesses more valuable advanta-

1t seems that q very beautiful young
lady, living not many squares west
Of Arlington, had been for a long
time greatly enamored ofa son Of 4
prominent Government official. In
fact it is supposed that she was engag-
ed to the young man for a cOnsidera-
BILE period. But there was q single
obstacle to their happiness. The G..
O's. hopeful heir aforesaid was addict
ed tO'the flowing bowl. In his ex-
treme youth he belonged to a tempes-
ance organization, and used to parade
around in the mud in white pants,
and carrying q green banner with
"Cold Water for Me-" "I'll take a
Cigar Instead, and other signs paint
ed on 1t. The result was that he be-
came a confirmed drunkard. Every
body knows how thirsty these process
sions are when they break ranks.
Well, this young man went on in his
mad career 50 long that the engage
ment was broken, and the young
lady's heart too. Every day he could
be seen reeling around the avenue in
the desperate attempt to borrow q little
sum Of money from some of his once
familiar companions. His father had
sternly cast the drunard adrift. and he
had nothing to hope from him without
reformation. On Wednesday after
noon 1.-THE young lady was walking
down the avenue On her way to attend
the music at the Capitol. Atthej juno
tion Of Seventh street she observed a
crowd Of boot blacks engaged il their
peculiar war dance around the uncon-
scious form Of drunken man. Clan
ing through the rabble she caught a
glimpse Ofthe now bloated face Of the
man she loved. The curling locks she
had f0ndled hung unkept over the
diseolored forehead, and the lips upon
which she once pressed her pure kisses
were now purple and cracked with
the sirOeco breath of thirst.


But still there was a soft corner in
her heart for this miserable creature,
and at the thought of his lying there
exposed to the sneering gaze OF the
world, all her WomanIy compassion
awoke. In her hand was a costly lace
handkerchief, bearing her monaghan
his gift in the old happy times.
With the quick intuition Of hope she
sp-sad this over his face, and then
passed out through the gaping crowd
like an angel Of compassion that had
discarded one of its white wings to
cover human folly.


In time the young man awoke, and
for moment gazed thunderstruek at
the fragile toy that had shielded his
manhood from the shame OF the street;
then the truth flashed upon him.
The familiar letters looked a thousand
times more intricate through the tears
that. blinded his eyes. Should he
forget the lesson ? lNeveIi He was
touched to the heart. He would
prove to her that gratitude, at least,
had not deserted him. The next DAY
the young lady received note, direct

still he stood watching that bright
light with fatal curiosity, a second
more and crack went both guns to-
gether. As the smoke cleared away,
instantly we saw the buck plunge
forward, fall, raise himself, plunge
forward and fall again. Then as the
boat came alongside, he made an at
tempt to reach the shore. As he fell
once more, Con seized him by the
hind leg, and one of the spectators,
willing-nay even anxious to help,
frantically clutched the tail, and held
on for dear ife-no fun intended.
Thus the deeris head was drawn un-
der water and his struggling soon
ceased. Then we pulled into the
boat as fine a buck as one would wish
to see, aud in good condition too. The
shots from both guns had taken effect.
One had pierced the throat and the
other his breast, exactly where they
had been aimed, and either must have
proved fatal. We started down the
river, and on the way frightened out
another deer, but did not get a shot.
