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.

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

A GOOD GRDED.—For is sick man's gruel,
take our common grits and wash thoroughly.
In cooking, mean excess of water, and cook

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.

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,

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.

act, shall have overthrown the Mormon

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

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

A Springfield, N. S., despa,tch says :—A
great many accidents are happening in the
coal mine here owing to the recklessness of
the men. Broken arms and leas are of al-
most daily occurrence, while fatal accidents
are very frequent. The output is at the rale
of half a million tons per ennum, and is lbw-
ited by the inability of the Intercolonial
Railway to handle freight. The sanitary
condition of the town is deplorable. There
are not half enough houses for the popula-
tion: The water is abominable and. epidemic
diseases are alarmingly prevalent.

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.

Lee Miller, a twelve -year-old Indianepolie
Wanted—A Little Girl.
1There have they gone to—the little girls,
m
With natural an7
manners and natural curls
Who love their dollies and like their toys,
And talk of something besides the boys
Little old women, in plenty I find,
Mature in manners and old of mind ;
Little old flirts who talk of their "beaux,"
And vie with each other in stylish*olothes.
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. .
It was notices". that an old man at St.
George, N. 15., spent a groat deal of time in
a piece of adjacent woods, and curiosity was
exited to iamb is point that lie was follow-
ed one day lately until he stopped before an
open grave. It was found that in this
VEIN° a box had been. placed and springs
earaaged so that a man conld lie down in
the box' -and pull down a board when the
grave would fill with earth, the brash ar-
roxiged for the purpose would cover the
mound. The discovery was made barely in
time to save the Old =WS life, as every de-
tail of his scheme of suicide had been com-
pleted,
