New Remedies for Burns.

Two new remedies for burns are added
to the long list The first is charcoal. A
piece of vegetable charcoal laid on burn
at once soothes the pain, says the Gazette

cures ii completely. The second ore Is
sulphate of iron This was tried 10y NJ.

In this case, child, four years of age. had
been extensively burnt, suppuration was
abundant and so offensive that they
ordered the child a tepid bath, containing
a couple of pinches of sulphate of iron
This gave immediate relief Ia the pain and
being repeated twice day-twenty min

4CKY'S SOCK AND JENNIE S
STOCKING.

BY HELEN sTANNARD.
Twas Christmas eve-and from chair
Near which sat mamma softly rocking;
Suspended hung, ill-mated pair,
Dear Jacky's scotland Jennie's stocking.
The wee sma' sock, home made and gray,
Was suited TO the sturdy boot,
Which Kept the winters storms at bay,
And safely housed the dimpled foot.
The lassie's stocking. fine and new.
came DER the waves from sunny France -
Around the stripes of varied hue
A prlsoned rainbow seemed to dance.
The mother gazes at the twaint
As she still sits there softly rocking
mist OF tears, like summer rain,
Hides Jacky's sock and Jennie's stocking.
"Oh, Father dear" she softly prays.
MY darling children's feet ere guide
ON lead them through the pleasant ways,
And keep them ecer near Thy side"
Another prayer, as fervent quite
Was waited from the little bed,
Where, side by side that self-same night,
With folded hands and appraised head,
The children asked their Dearest Friend,
(WMle meath their room mamma WAS rock
ing)
Dear Jesus. please Krss Kringle send,
To Ill up both our sock and stocking"
As II in answer to their prayer,
HaIama has ceased her steady rocking
And 10! what curious changes are
In Jacky's sock-and Jennie's stocking
From top to toe they're both swelled ont
With queer shaped lunches odd and funny,
They surely cannot hold the govt
1t must be bon-bons sweet as honey.
The tiny sock. so short and small,
Is queerly pieced ont from the toe,
Below which swings rubber ball,
And top that's warranted TO go.
Above the leg a whip sticks ont
\ woody dog looks calmly down,
Conjecturing what it's all about,
And whether ne should bark or frown.
From out the stockings top-see! peep
That joyous beaming little face
A lovely doll whose ringlets sweep
Far downward, with unconscious grace.
She's feLccd around with little TOYS
That glance out here and there
Gay tokens of the Christmas Joys
Which good old Santa Claus doth bear.

Once more the chair is gently rocking
