Projection FROM Drsr IN ruREsuINa.-If

rocure thin, broad piece OF sponge

which can be procured of most Of the
,,ruggists for trifc, by slicing from Il
lrga piece, and iastcn this on over the
mouth and nose having first moistcncd
the Same with water, which imparts very
spothng influence to the nostrils, and at
le same time collects all tho small par

IN the lungs by inhaliug the dusty atmoss

lash it out in water, and apply it to the

Another correspondent says: My proc-
tee is to tie piece Of slightly moistencd
ponge Of god quality over mouth and
uostis. This does not at all interfere
Nth breathing, and but slightly with con
.ersation, and is a most perfect respirator

SCRATCHES IN HoRsEs.-Many remedies
ave been proposed for this disease, and
mild cases generally yield to n simple
Washing with soap-suds, and greasng with

HISTORY or THE IsAU EL, GHArE.-Gcn
j. G.. Swift Of Geneva, in a letter to TIA,
Nat,oauL LtNgrDrfr. correcting an article
previously publised in that pa Der, give,
nc following history ofthe Isabel q grape:
As to the Isabella, it originated at Goose
''reek, near Charleston, SoIth Crollna,
nd is a hybrid of the native Fox and the
Burgundy of IIugenots Coy. B. Smith,
of North Carolina, brought the grape vine
TO Smithvllc in 1909, and Mrs. Gibbs took
, cutting from Gov. Smiths garden to
}rooklyn Heights, in 1918. In 1919,
purchased the Gibbs place on Brooklyn
Eeights, of George Gibbs, Esq. who came
from Bladen county, North Carolina Col
onal George Gibbs was from Newport,
Rhode Island. In 1890, from the first
well-grown vine in my garden, gave cut
Iings to VIM. Price, Of Flushing who in
compliment to Mrs. Smith proposed to
name the grape, Louisa. Mrs Smith OBJ
iected, saying Mrs. Gibbs, Isabella, was
more entitled to the name and thus the
name. As to the hybrid character Of the
,dant the two faces OF the leaves show the
upper TO be Burgundy and the lower Fox.
In 1891 gave Mr.. Skinner, of the Balti-
more Farmer a history Of the Isabella,
yhich hc published in that paper"
A PRoBLEM.-Whoever originated the
following deserves to have his name hand
I'd down to posterity:
"If a dispatch from England to America
gain on the sun so as toreach here 4! hours
by the clock before it left England; at
what time would it arrive at the point OF
departure, were the cable carried around
the world? Would it not arrive the day
before it left less only the time exhausted
in making the circuit? Ifso, then, with
continuous telegraph line around the
world why not send a dispatch arounC
and around until it itreached back to Adam
and let him know what his children are
about in these latter days?"
Many years ago when the bill fo
the relief of an aged officer was under con
sideration in the Senate, a member VIII,
wished it set aside suggested that it coulC
be well posponed-"Congress sits every
year" Mr.. Fromentin, frenchman,
Senator from Louisiana, who advocated
the bill, pointed energetically to the ven
cradle petitioner, CONSPICUOUS, in the lot
10y, and exclaimed" Yes, Mr.. Speaker
Congress- sits every year, but DEATH SIT
