Badly Sprained Ankle Cured. Three years ago our daughter sprained her ankle and had been suffering terribly for two days and nights—had not slept a minute. Mr. Stalliugs, of Butler, Tenn., told us of Chamberlain's Pain lialm. We went to the store that night and got a bottle of it and bathed her ankle two or three times and she went to sleep and had a good night's rest.

Lauder Brun tou advocates the use of permanganate of potash applied immediately. Mr. Greengrass of North Arcot district, Madras, however, as the result of vari ous experiments states that acetic acid, even in the diluted form of vinegar, Is an important and effectual remedy, and it can be applied effectually as long as an hour or an hour and a half after the bite. Cases of recovery from snake bites have followed the applica tion of vinegar after such intervals. An incision must be made over the bite, as much of the poison as possible squeezed out, and then vinegar is u> be Injected. If the bile is on a limb, a ligature must be placed above It. Mi. Greengrass records twenty-niii,' *.■; 1 -s of recovery from cobra biles by such a use of vinegar. The one failure which occurred was due to the fact that no incision had been made over the bite A .similar treatment is recommended for tin siting of scorpions. —London Standard.

The victim of the following story, told iu Mrs. Ilenry W. Cole's "A Lady's Tour Around Monte Itosa," was possessed of a keen sense of hu mor. Otherwise his dignity might have been milled by the- unconscious revela tion which came to his ears.

When he was first admitted to holy orders lie was appointed curate iu a rural Scotch dis trict and lodged in the house of a small tenant farmer.
