A House. REMEDY FOR SCARLET
FRYER. Parents should be very
careful about their children wher
this devouring plague seizes them
and every good mother should be
prepared for it with the following
remedies:
LIST. When a child is taken with a
fever, give it dose of castor oil;
if the body shows flush color, have
pot Of saffron tea made and give
it TO the child to drink. This will
drive the eruption out.
I'd. Have warm baths for their
feet. keep it Warm. and the room
under a proper temperature.
Sd. When the eruption is out,
grease the whole body With bacon
fat, and keep the bowels OPEN
Then call for a doctor if the throat
should get sore.
Better begin by calling in the
doctor

My Experience with Hungarian

Mr.. EDITOR. Il sowed on the

After blowing it 10 the usual way
for a broad cast epring crop,
gave it slight dressing of barn
yard manure, narrowing it once, and
sowcd my seed. | went over it
once with light drag after sowing,
but think that brush or roller
would have been better. The seed
was covered too deep, and was too
long coming Up. In the end, how.
ever, it struggled through, and pro-
duced vigorous crop. In Septem-
Der gathered one ton of grass from
the quarter OF an acre, about one
half of which | threshed, imperfect
ly, and obtained fIom il "a bushels
of seed. The ihreshing WAS imper-

By having low hea led fruit trees,
the SUI, which is, perhaps, IN our bot
and dry summers, the Cause Of more
disease and destruction in fruit trees
than al! other diseases together, is
kept from almcs, scaldiDg the sap, as
j does in long naked trunks and limbs
The limbs and leaves only should
have plenty Of sun and light; they
Can bear and profit by it. If trees
were suffered TO branch out low, say
within one or two feet of tho ground,
we should have very much less Of
the fire blight" "frozen sap blight
black spots and the like. The
ground is always looser, moister and
cooler under low branching tree
than under high one. Grass aud
weeds do not grow hundredth part
SO rank ard rapidly, aud mulching
becomes unnecessary~ The wind
has not half the power to rack and
twist and break the tree and shake
of the fruit, a matter of no incon-
siderable consequence. The trees
win be much longer lived. and more
prolific, beautiful and profitable
The trees are more easily rid Of de-
structive insects, the fruit is much
less damaged by falling. and the IA
cilitios for gathering it much great
er-there is less danger in climbing.
and less of breaking limbs. The
trees require less pruning, scraping,and
washing; and :he roots are protected
from the pillow, which is too often
made TO tear and mutilate them.

youth OF eighteen, was seated in tho

pended from the roof were rcpIenished
by the sacristan, who, IN doing SO,
caused them TO o cillatc from side TO

fore when similarly disturbed. He
watched tho lamps, and thought he
pcrceivcdth that while the oscillations were
diminishing they still occupied the same
time, The idea thus suggested never
departed from his mind, and fifty years
afterwards he constructed the first pen
dulum, and thus gave the world one Of
the measurements Of time.
Afterwards when living in Venice, it
was reported TO him n day that the

curious, but Calico seized the idea and
