Occasionally a bird's 11mb will 1h

bird's. 'i'The best way to remove ther
is to moisten the limb wit Ii quile wnrI
inilk, and a slight rubbing with tih
thumb and fore-Ilnger back and fort
will cause them to peel off. Care shoul,
be taken, however, not to break th
under-skin. hwollen and sore limb

eilected parts with diltled tincture o

Care should be taken not to cut ill)Intt
the blood veins, which can ensaly bl

of a strong ligh:t, and then not cut.tinp
wlthin a sixteenth of an inch of the ret
vein. There is air impression lin Lith
minds of most people that the only ust

this is wrong. The cuttle-I -i is 'itlol

A Nrin Thermo-Electric Battery.-M.
Clamond, a French electrician, has suc
ceeded in devising a thermo-electric
battery, producing a current sulicient
ly powerful to yield the electric light.
A factory in Paris Is now, indeed,
lighted by this means The apparatus
'consists of three parts; an inner one,
composed of pieces of iron, v rrangedl
in the form of a crown, which can be
I-:ated in the interior. This is called
the collector, its purpose being to col
lect the heat and thou commtnicate it
to the adjacent tiei'no-plie proper.
This consists of a flexible chain, of any
desired length, composed of cubes of
antimony and zinc, soldered together
by sheets of tin. In the complete ap
paratus there are U.000 of these "'cou
pi's," outsitle which are fixed the plates
o' copper to diffuse the heat
of' the collector. A large surface is
thus exposed to the air, in order thatas
great a difl'ererce of tenperature as
possible can be maintained between
t lie collector and the diffuser, for upon
this dill'erc'netn tho.st.rength of the cur
rent chteily depends. M. Clanond has
been so successful that with one of his
batteries he has been enabled to light
two of' Serrin's lamps, and withi a
snallei' but equally powerfuil battery
lie can light lour less brilliant lamps.
This done with the consumption of'uine
kilograinnues, or about twenty pounds
of' coke an hour for the larger, and six
attl one-hall pounds for the smaller,
therino-electric batter y. The appitra
tus, moreover, gives warmth as well its
light. since its large exterior surface
causes it to radiate it considerable
q11utity of heat.
Qutack Nostrumus
are pronounced by tht medical profession
"i'o bane of society" but ite Bible says "To
him who is afllicted p.ty shotihl be shown" and
Dr. Silsbee, the dhiwoverer of "Anakesia" the
only infaliiblo pile euro known to niodical art,
desei ves a moniment at the hands of afllicted
millions as a betofactotr of the human race, if
as Jean Paul Richtor says-"llappiness is the
iabsence of pain," what shall be safd of a
remedy that will roliovo instantly such pain na
those onduro who sulfor from piles andof how
miuch happinoss must "Anakests" be the
author. 5.0.000 of the millions ahlicted with
piles gladly testify to its healing virtues. Doc
tors of all schools prescribo it and in 20 years
nor.o have used it without benolit. Combin
ing the virtues of a poultice, au iistrutuit
and mOdicine easy of application, nafo aei
useful in all cases, it relieves pa.n at once,
holds up the tumors and ultimately cures the
weott cases of piles and what is renally worth
knowing. by following the Doctorts printed in
structions as to diet, liabits etc., keeps them
cured. Samples of "anakesis" are sentf/reto

capable of holding a car I' ad of' ties, Is
to be fillied with creosote and the ties
patssed through, the ereosote drawing
out the sap and pitch from the wood
and leaving the pores open. A pre

which fills tip the pores and )t Is stated
that these are thereby so fil led as to
