ny, "it pertains to the cyMem of hook

because "they can't allord it." W'e ate
sorry for their poverty, lmt more so for
tln ir ignorance and stupid determination
to remain in it. This single article, which
if less than the fiftieth part of what we
give them for fifty cents, would cost nnv
one of them fifty times the price of the

Valuable Itccript.
Mr. A. P.ionson, of Meadville, Pa.,
says: " I'mni fifteen years experience,
I find that Indian Meal poultice covered
over with young hyson tea, softened with
hot watt r, and laid over burns or frozen
llesh, ns hot as can he borne, w ill relieve
the pain in live minuies. If blisters have
j n 't arisen before, th'-y w ill not after it i
put on, an.I on" poultice is generally sulli
cient to el Pet t a cure."
W e never knew any thing warm to I e
used on frozen llesh, but this remedy might
he good notwithstanding. En.

after it has absoibed all the moi-ture pos
sible, is removed io be u.,ed for manure,
and fresh salts applied in the same way.
This is an excellent plan for keepirg sta
