How to Render Assistance in Accident

We digest for the benefit of readers,
especially in country places, the best
course to be adopted in emergencies
like the following -
In case Of a fractured or dislocated
lint Let the sufferer lay on the
ground until coach, door gate, or
plank, can be procured, for in raising
him up he may die from faintness or
loss of blood. When procured, place
the door o. gate alongside of him COW
er it with something soft, and let men
convey him home steadily but do not
put him into a vehicle Of any kind.
In fts.-Ifa person fall in one, let
him remain on the ground, provided
lis face be pale, for should it be faint
ing, or temporary suspension of the
hearts action, you may cause death
by raising him upright or bleeding
but if the face be red on darh colored,
raise him on his seat, throw cold water
on his head Immediately, and send for
a surgeon and get vein, opened, OF
fatal pressure or the brain may ensue.
In Hanging or Drowming, expose
the chest as quickly as possible and
throw ice water over it whilst the body
is kept in a sitting position.
Childron IN Convulsion.-Deluge the
head, with cold water and put the fect

APRIL Work. The Working
Farmer gives the following programme
for garden and field work IN April.
Small Fruits.-Plant out cuttings
Of grape anG gooscberry, currants,
&C., as early as practicable, and if
they have been kept in a moist place
during the winter, and are plump and
well conditioned, they will soon make
roots. Those of the gooscberry and
currants should have all the eyes re-
moved, except three or four at the top,
as by means they produce on single
stocks and throw up no suckers.
Grape cuttings should be planted two
eyes out, and all cuttings should be
partially shaded, or they will not take
root with certainty, This is particu-
larly true with the grape.
Currants, gooseberries, and grapes,
two years from the cuttings, should
now be transplanted III place, and i'll
putting them out, be sure not only to
dig the holes as large as you intend
the roots to expand, but also to depth
of at least two feet filling up the space
previously cculied by the subsoi
with good earth. Manure freely, but
not with fermcnting manure ; for small
fruits it should either be well disintc-
grated with muck or charcoal dust, OF
ola quality nor liable to heat. The
gooseberry is a rank feeder, as wei
as the rashpbcrry, and is capable OF
appropriating large amounts Of anima
manures to its use.
Standardization, dress and fol
the beds.
Grape VmeS.-Looscn the eartl
about their roots and give them ma
nures. Swamp muck which has beer
deccmposed by the salt and lime mix
turc answers a good purpose. Whole
bones buried near the roots Of grape
vines will soon be appropriated, an(
during the summer rest, little po
tash water will hurry up their action

A Discovery. In 1899 the French
government sent out learned Greek
Mynoides Mynas, to search among the
monasteries of Greece for manuscripts.
Among those obtained and placed in the
National Library at Paris, was ono
which was not carefully noticed at first
but which Mr.. Miller, an officer in the
institution. and an accomplished scholar
subsequently found to be treatise OF
great importanbc to the history of prim-
tive Christianity. This manuscript was
printed in 1851 at Oxford. The learn
cd Bunscn has written a work in rela-
ton to the historical revelations afford
ed by this ancient production and his
work is attracting much attention in the
learned world.
1t is considered as settled beyond
reasonable doubt, that the manuscript
is copy of treatise on heresies. by
Hippolytus, Roman Bishop who flour
ishcd about 200 years, after the cruci6x-
ion. and was pupil Of Iren@us
Mr.. Bunsen attaches great impor-
tance to the testimony which this an
cient writing gives in favor of the gen
uienoss of the Gospel of John.-He re
CARDS the hypothesis of Baur and other
infdel writer's on this subject as entire
ly nullifed thereby.
The English Reviews abound with ar
ticles on Bunsens work. The usages
of the early church arc involved in the
discussion. The Christian Rcmembran'

ination of the position of Bunsen and is
indeed quite severe upon the Chevalier
who interprets the statements of tho
manuscript in manner adverse to the
views of the high-toned Episcopalian.
The infdel Reviews. like the Westmin.
ster, try to intimate objections to the
manuscript, which they do not feel will
ling to state openly No one seems pre-
pared to deny that it is the work of the
Hippolytus.-Neto York Mirror.

Cure and Preventive of the Potato Rot
Mr.. II. Pcnnoycr, of Union Co.,
Illinois, publishes in the st Louis Re
public, his experience and success in
preventing the potato rot. He tested
his preventive for four years, with per.
feet success, while others who neglect
ed it lost their entire crop. 1t is as
serted, also, that the rot root is nearly
double the size. The remedy is as
follows: "Take one peck of fine salt
and mix it thoroughly with halfa bush
cl of Nova Scotia plaster or gypsum,
(thc plaster is the best, } and imme-
diately after hocing the potatoes the
second time, or just as the young po-
tato begins to set, sprinkle on the main
vines next to the ground, table spoon
full Of the above mixture to each hill,
and be sure to get it on the main vine,
as it is found the rot proceeds from
the stings Of an insect in the vine, and
the mixture coming in contact with the
vine, kills the effect of it before il
reaches the potato.' Mr.. P asks
nothing for his discovery beyond what
those who are benefited are willing tc
give. aud he desires a test to be made
before an opinion is formed. This is
reasonable, and the experiment cost;
so little that it is worth testing.

SNUFF TAKING.-Every professed,
invetcrate, snuff taker, at moderate
calculation, takes one pinch in ten min
utes. Every pinch, with the agree
able ceremony of blowing and wiping
the nose and other incidental circum-
stances, consumes one minute and a
half. One minute and half out Of
every ten, allowing sixteen hours and
twenty four minutes out of every nat
ural day, or one out of every ten. One
day out of ten amounts to thirty-siS
days and half in year. Hence if
we suppose the practice to be persist
ed IN for forty years, two years of the
snuftaker's life will be dedicated tc
tickling the nose, and two more to
blowing it.
