Remedy for Croup.—We clip the following from the Danville Advertiser: My wife and I were aroused about two o'clock this morning, by the struggles of our little boy, about three years old,"who was laboring under a violent attack of croup. His breathing was so difficult as to arouse persons who were sleeping in a room beyond the hall. I hastily folded a towel, dipped it in cold water, and applied it to his throat and breast; I then folded a sheet to the proper size, wet it and rolled him up in it, and wrapt a blanket over that. He went to sleep in three minutes, and continued to sleep sweetly until 5 o'clock, when he got up, was dressed and went to play, in three hours after the attack, and we were rejoiced at the curative powers of cold water. Richard Mendenhall. Plainfield, Ind., 8th month, 12th. Flavoring for Mince Pies.—The juice of the frost or fox grapes boiled with a small proportion of sugar, scummed and bottled for winter use, is said to fully equal wine for flavoring mince pies, while the crab apple is thought to surpass the choicest kinds of fruit for this favorite of epicures.— Ohio Cultivator. How to cook Sweet Potatoes.—Boil two large sweet potatoes, rub them through a seive, then add a piece of butter the size of an egg, a little salt, one pint of buttermilk, a teacup of sugar, a table-spoonful of saleratus, dissolved in warm water. Bake in an earthen? dish.— Serve up cold with cream. To trt opt Beeswax.—Put the comb into a colander, or a tin pan with the bottom punched full of small holes, and place it in a . warm oven over another pan partly filled with water.
