TEE TREATMENT OF WHOOPING-Del:JOIE WITH ILLIIMINATING GAS. —Dr. W. T. Greene suggests an easily available improve- ment on the old plan of sending children on visits to the gas -works. His plan is to at- tach a piece of rubber tubing to a burner, the tubing being long enough to reach the floor. The gas is turned on just enough to make a perceptible odor, and the child is to inhale it for a few minutes at a time as of- ten as convenient. dog, elephant, rat, cow, horse, frog, rabbit, enuirrel. Then cut them from colored flan - carefully chooeing asaorted colore--as yellow, hlue red, white ami brown. Use button-hOle s'titeh to fasten these impoesible- looking anirnels on the canton flannel. A few etitches with black or white cotton will formic:attires, ' and help to define the body and supply the shading. This is so nice for baby to kick on that it will repay for the trouble of making it. Fon A Faut.—Buy a couple of pounds of Englisn wahaute and use the meats for home- made candy, taking eare to preeerve the shell in "whole halve" during the °reeking pro- cess. Then write out personal remark a from the poets, easily eelected from bi3rthday books enough so that each buyer will find a comp l'imentary allusion to himself inside the walnut. Place the sentiment between the shells and fasten them together on one side with glue or by running a blue ribbon through holes in each half, which have been made with a hot knitting needle, 'Breeze over the shells, and the dish of $`compleineats" is at- tractive in appearance and bound to net several hundred per cent. on first cost, labor of course counting as nothing. A GOOD GRDED.—For is sick man's gruel, take our common grits and wash thoroughly. In cooking, mean excess of water, and cook until perfectly soft, pouring off and. strain- ing the liquor, which should. be salted to the taste. The more water you use,the 'lighter in body the gruel. If it is desired to make it richer, add about one-half milk; and here you have a splendid gruel for delicate per - from Sou hern grown corn. sons ar-T. convalescents. Use the grits TO RESTORE INJURED MEAT.—Wben the brine sours or taints the meat, pour it off, skim it well, then pour it back again on the meat, boiling hot; this will restore it even when much injured. If tainted meat is im- mersed in the solution of chloride of lime prescribed for rancid butter, it will restore it. Fresh meat, hams, fish, etc., can be pre- served for an indefinite length of time with- -out salt, by a light a,pplication of pyroligne- ous acid applied with a brush; it imparts a fine, smoky flavor to the meat, and is an ef- fectual, reservative avainst its loss. Sum, ..Fumas FOR CoNsmitraionHcon- sumptive patients are advised by a pupil of Liebig, in the Apothele Verein, to live in rooms where one or two drachms of sulphur are melted on a hot stove. The first ten days brings increased cough and irritation, then these cease, and the patient improves rapidly. Persons with, catarrh and in early stages of consumption apply to enter cherni- cal factories, where large .quantities of sul- phur are evaporated daily, and are cured in a few weeks by the inhalations. Cholera. and epidemic diseases are never found. in such factories. GERMAN Smsoe.—One gallon:of green to- matoes chopped fine, one quart of celery and one quart of onions, both chopped fine, two gills of -white mustard seed, one of ground black pepper, one gill whole allspice, one gill *hole cloves, three gills salt, one pound, of white sugar, three quarts of good cider vinegar, one gallon chopped cabbage. Put the cabbage and tomatoes under pressure over night, and in the morning add two red peppers chopped fine, Mix all except the spices together and boil until quite tender, stirring often. When done add the spices, stir well and put into your jars. ORWIN OF FRUIT CANNING.—It 18 a singu- lar fact that we are indebted to Pompeii for -the great industry of canning fruit. Years ago, when. the excavations were' jest begin- ning, a party of Cincinnatians found in what had been the pantry of is house inanyja.rs of preserved figs. One was opened and. they were found to be fresh and good. Investi- gations showed that the figs had been put , into jars in a heated state, an aperture left for the steam to- escape, and then scaled' with wax. The hint was taken, and the next year canning fruit was introclueed into the United States, theaorobeaa being identical with that in vogue in Pompeii twenty cen- turies ago. The, old ladies im Canada ,who can tomatoes ancl iceaches do not realize that they are indebted for this art to a ,people who perished nearly 2,000 years ago. 4 A bag of silk pieces, old and new, has beeu accumulating for several •months ; bits of ribbon, silk liaings, odds and...ends left from the "crazing quilt," even the silk of a brown umbrella, every conceivable color and shade.

TAnns FIYAN/Tl7RE0—In vi.OW a the fact that es a people we have weak stomachs, everything which tends to a sense of comfort and pleaeure at the table should be fostered. Among the sources of good feeling, I reckon crockery, plate, cutlery and linen. China costs but little inore than the com- mon ware, and is likely to receive better care and to last longer. Plated knives, fork e aud spoons are now so eheap that every table may have an abundea0e, On some account a plated ware is prefereble to solid silver.

Nice linen gives suoh pleasure to every- body that I shall not attempt a plea for clean table -cloths and napkins. I should be satisfied with plainer and cheaper food, if neatly prepared and eerved upon snowy linen, with china and plate.

It induces good manners, quiet, deli- berate eating, and other Christian decencies. And it makes food look eo palatable that the purchases and labor of cooking may be eensibly ',echoed.

Weather Prophets. A few weeks ago, after the terrible earth- quake that wrecked Charleston, a Canadian professd," who had previously drawn at- tention to himself by predictions of great storms, which did not make their appear- ance at the , appointed time, frightened. the already terror-stricken people of Charleston and its vicinity by announcing that on a fixed day there would be an earthquake still more fearful than any which had taken place. Every one knows that no earthquake at all occurred on the day he had set, and his reputation as a paophet of signs and won- ders is gone. But so credulous are many people in regard to such matters, that the next pretender to better knowledge of the future than every one possesses, will pro- bably have as great success—before the event has proved that he knows nothing, , For S ides, pa7.--L.—re min • A- PRRTTY BEDSPILEAD.—Get an oblong same way as the tele,gra,ph operator who is appreciated.

Long after civilisation, helped forward. somewhat by the Edmund anti-polygazny act, shall have overthrown the Mormon hierarchy, and after Mormonism shall have been forgotten, the Mormon eapital will per- petuate the fame of Brigham Young, and be proof of great qualities as a pioneer and the builder of a city. Indeed, itwas by building Salt Lake City that he gave the Mormon Church both the inspiration and its machinery for resisting civilization as stub- bornly as it has. The City a the Saints has is history that has been written aud read in every civilized tongue; it attained commer- cial importance even before its founder died, and it is one of the most beautiful of all modernly built cities. For its romance (and its founding was decidedly romantic, unless the Mormon pobat of view be taken and it be called the result of an inspiration), for its commerce, and for the selection of so fine a site and for its laying out, we are indebted to Brigham Young. When the band of "Saints" were driven from Missouri they began their long march westward without definite purpose. But when in their journey across the great American desert their lead- er came to the valley of the Great Salt Lake, which is hemmed in on every side but one by high mountain ranges, he recognized in the alkali plain the proper site for a great city, He was " inspired" to build it, and he went about it with a vigor and a comprehen- sion of the art of building a city which go far toward justifying his claim to is super- human suggestion. Having irrigated the land arid proved its fertility, he laid out the town precisely as it has been built. On a commanding position he set the Tabernacle with its oval roof. Near by was the Tithing - house, and nearer still the walls of the beautiful Temple have since been reared on the site selected by hini. The "Beehive,' which is the row of abode houses where his numerous family resided, is but one block away. And round about all this he built a wall, lest indolence should give time for dis- content, and in order to carry outthe paral- lel to Biblical town -building. The streets were made wide, so that the holy city should not lack attractiveness, and down every street a mountain stream was turned, which constituted an ideal sur- face system of water -works and drainage. As the bishops and apostles became thrifty —and thrift is the prime virtue of the " Saints "—they erected finer edobe residen- ces, and later wooden ones of pretentions to architectural beauty on the hill -sides at the base of the mountains. Through the yard of every one a mountain stream runs, which makes its way into a surface sewer, thence into the Jordan River, and thence into the Great Salt Lake ite'elf. Within sight of perpetual snow, the flower yards of the Saints bloom early in spring, and keep their freshness till the late -coming frost in this rainless atmosphere. The air is as dry and wholesome as the air of Colors ado, and nature does its own sanitary plumbing. Pavements have been laid now, of course, and magnificent drives lead out of the city. Residences of the rich have been built alike in the Mormon and in the Gen- tile section, large mercantile establishments have taken the place of adobe huts; but the wisdom with which the city was laid out hasbecomeielainerwithall improvements. The street whereon the ".Beellive " was built was planned for the fine official resi- dence of the President of the Church, which has been completed more recently, and the square that was set aside for the Tabernacle is large enough to hold the new Temple also. There is nothing lacking iu site or plan to make the eity a religious capital. And all that appeals to the religious zeal of the Mormons has appealed to -the apprecia- tion of the Gentiles. It appeals to the ad- miration also of all visitors. There are no hills nor hollows hi the city proper, except where its outskirts have begun to extend up the slope of the mountains, which not much further backward becomes inaccess- ible. 'Ws on one of these slopes that the founder of the city is buried, and around his.grave is a plain iron fence. From this eminence a view is commanded of the whole city. 1± 18 extending year by year further over the valley. but there is not a single narrow street, not a house wherein the sun- light cannot find its way, nor one whereby a stream does not run, and from which per.• snow is not visible.

A Tyandinage correspondent tells the following story :—" Rose Archer held a life lease of two acres of land from Wm. Tracy, Lot No. 4, 8th concession of Tyenclinaga, upon which was a log house. She went wi her sonto Michigan by the Tueeclay morning train, last week leaving the house and what little furniture she had in possession of P. A. Shannon, to be done with as she should wish, thinking that she would come back in the spring; but some person on Tuesday night broke open the window and door, pried the logs out of the house, so that the roof fell in, leaving the poor widow's house a wreck. A Gravenhurst paper observes :--" itt seems to us that hunting deer with 'do should be prohibited altogether ; there wou be more sport in still hunting, and there would not be anything like wholesale "daughter of deer. In a country like Mus- koka, where there are •mem poor settlers svho depend to a large extent upon the deer for their supply of meat in fall and early winter, it is an injustice to them that out- s eiders with a pack of clogs should come in and exterminate the supply. We wonder that the settlers do not petition the Legis- lature to pass a law prohibiting the use of hounds for hunting deer in the districts of Muskoka, Parry Sound, itna Nipissing."

A Receipt for Cold reipt. For nothing at all we will give is receipt. For pleasantly warming in winter your feipt. First see that the shoes or the boots you may wear Are polishexl eaoh morning with scrupulous cear. This reason is founded on science, you know, And will, if it's followed, relieve you of wow. Delft purchase a tightfitting boot er e shoe But get a size larger or, better, get toe. Be sure they are stout ones and perfectly whole, Made low in the heel, thick and broad in the wsole. Then oiling them, go without rubbers, which sweat, And make your feet tender to coldness and weat. Some folks woolen stookingsprefer, but they should Wear socks made of cotton, as those are more good: For feet, like your faoe which in winter is bare. Grow tough when exposed to the froet in tale area No chilblains will Itch you or give you an achy when 1± 18 bed -time, iced water you'll taolie. And plunge your lectin it—then rub 'em with might Until they grow scarlet and—probably Aright. Now toast' em awhile by the grate and, I guess, You'll find this receipt for cold feipt a succuess. N. B. Some husbands, who think they're as sharp as a knifel Will warm their oold feet on a poor, sleepy kwife. That's cold-blooded murder for which women wise Can get a divorce from such marital tise. Water. Wine, wine, thy power and praise Have ever been echoed in rninistrel's lays :— But miter, I deem, hath a mightier claim To fill up e. niche in the temple of Fame. le who are bred in Anacroon's school, May sneer at my strain as the song of a fool : Ye are wise, no doubt—but have yet to learn How the tongue oau cleave and the veins can burn. Should you ever be one of the fainting band, With your brow to the sun, and your feet to the sand, I would wager the thing I'm most loath to spare That your bacchanal chorus would never ring there. Traverse the desert, and then you can tell What treasures exist in the cold deep well; Sink in despair on the red parched earth, And then you may reckon what water is worth. Famine is laying her hand of bone On the ship becalmed in a torrid zone; The gnawing of hunger's worm is past, But fiery thirst lives 0121:0 the last. The stoutest one of the gallant crew Bath a cheek and lips of ghastly hue ;— The hot blood stands in each gloomy eye, And "Water, 0 God?' is the only cry. There's drought in the land, and the herbage is dead,, No ripple is heard in the streamlet's bed; The herd's low bleat and the sick man's pant Are mournfully telling the boon we want. Let heaven this one rich gift withhold, How soon we find it is better than gold;- And water, I say, hath a right to 014iM The minstrel's song and the tithe of fame. Bad No Price. "Every man has his price, ' said is Fourth Ward philosopher. "Have you ?" inquired an individual who was leaning on the counter waiting for his beer. "I'm 'fraid not," was the mournful re- ply.

Little old belles, who, at nine and ten, Are sick of pleasure and tired of men, Weary of travel, of balls, of fun— And no new thing under the sun. Once in the beautiful long ago, Some dear little children I 'used to kn ow, Girls who were merry as lambs at pia y, And laughed and rollicketl the livelon g day. They thought not at all of the "s tyle of their clothes," They never imagined that boys were "beaux "— / "Other girls' brothers " and in ates " were they; Splendid fellows to help them play. Where have they gone to ? If you se e One of them anywhere, send her to me. I would give amedal of purest gold To one of those deer little girls of old, With an innocent heart and an open smile, Who knows riot the meaning of "flirt or " style.:' ,Lost. I know not whether you're a friend, or foe, Or whether your name he Jack or Jee But who ever you are, I would like to know, Forever and forever. Oh, no, it would never do To make a friend of 811015 as you, Believe him not, he Is fooling you Forever and forever, 511 were you I'd do, rt ae, There, see, my line is brake in two. Go way from 200, you prove untrue Forever and forever. ltry little verse is naught to you, But I've a heart, it's true, its true, I cannot afford to -waste on you, Forever and forayer. Farewell my love, adieu, adieu, My mind is ever cursed with you, Although you're ever hid from view Forever and forever. 011, why is this, I'm lost to lcnow, Why this love will come and go In spite of all this earth's great foe, • 0, I wish 1 could get up and go, Forever and forever. .
