SALT WITH NUTs.-One time
while enjoying a visit from an
I1nglishman, hickory nuts were
served in the evening, when my
English friend called for salt,
stating that he knew Of a case
Of woman eating heartily of
nuts in the evening who was

brated DIR. Alternately was sent

the nuts were found in mass.

Best Time for Painting,
q House.

The best time for painting the
exterior of buildings is late in the
autumn and during the winter.
Paint then applied win endure
twice as long as when applied in
early sumner or in hot weather.
In the former it dries slowly and
becomes very hard, like glazed
surface, not easily affected after
wards by the weather, or worn
of by the beating storms. But
in very hot weather the oil in the
paint soaks into the wood at once,
as into a sponge, leaving the lead
nearly dry and nearly ready to
crumble off. This last difficulty,
however, might in a measure be
guarded against, though at an in
creased expense, by first going
over the surface with raw oil. By
painting in cold weather, one an
noyance mightcertainly be escaped,
namely, the collection of small
flies on the fresh paint.

ONIONS PRESCRIBED FOR
CoUGHs.-An anonymous wri-
ter says: owe are often troub-
led with severe coughs, the re-
suit of colds Of long standing,
which may turn to consumption
or premature death. Hard
coughs cause sleepless nights
by constant irritation in the
throat, and a strong effort to
throw off offensive matter from
the lungs. The remedy [ pro-
pose has been often tried by me,
with good results, which is sim
ply to take into the stomach be-
fore retiring for the night a piece
of raw onion, after chewing.
This esculent in an uncooked
state is very heating, and tends
to collect the waters from the
lungs and throat, causing i'm
mediate relief to the patient.

How TO SLEEP.-It is bet
ter, generally, to sleep on the
back, but it is we'll to alternate,
and sleep occasionally on either
side, not always on the right, nor
always on the left, but on both.
The question is often put to us,
"Why is my head lop-sided or
larger on one side?" 1t may be
accounted for by always lying
on one. side. Young mothers
arc apt to place the child always
in one position when putting it
TO bed, and the skull being soft
and thin, the brain grows most
on the under side, and finally as
sumes permanently this irregu-
lar and uneven shape. In chol-
era times, or when the bowels
are cold, constipated and mac
tive, it is well to lie on the belly,
and thus keep the bowels warm.

FILL YOUR LAMPS IN THE
MoRNING.-Scarcely a week
passes but we read frightful ac-
counts of frightful accidents
from kerosene lamps exploding
and killing or soaring for life,
men, women and children. A
simple knowledge of the in
fiammable nature Of the liquid
may put stop to nearly all the
accidents. AS the oil burns
down in the lamp inflammable
gas gathers over the surface
When the oil is nearly con-
sumed, slight jar will infiame
the gas, and explosion follows.
If the lamp is not allowed to
burn over half way down, ACCT
dents are almost impossible

cure some leaf tobacco, boil to &

float it ; mix in, while hot; enough
lard or refuse grease to make a
thin salve. Rub the pigs or hogs
troubled, aud, if well rubbed, in
less than "A hours they will not
have one on them. Also, put some
leaf tobacco in their beds, to make
them smell strong and the hogs
will never be troubled with lice
again while they sleep in the beds.
The tobacco will not hurt the pigs

To REMOVE -Four A1G.FRoM

To REMOVE Foul AIRaFRoM
WELLs.-It is well known that
many accidents occur to per-
sons going down into wells to
clean Them, owing to the nox-
ious gas. in such places. To re-
move the gas before a descent is
made in any well, a quantity Of
burned but unslacked lime
should be thrown down. This,
when it comes in contact with
whatever water is below, sets
free a great quantity Of heat in
the water and the lime, which
rushes upward, carrying all the
deleterious gas with it, after
which the descent may be made
with perfect safey. The lime
absorbs carbonic acid in the
well. Always lower a light
before descending; if it is ex-
tinguished there is still danger
of suffocation.

} a correspondent Of tie Coun-

encc, in England, in the matter
Of breaking colts, as follows:
81 raised upwards Of twenty
colts per year, from 1886 to
1850. A colt breaker by pro-
fession, who broke for all the
nobility and best horse raisers
in the neighborhood, broke for
me; and he always preferred a
four year old, which had never
been handled, to make a good
saddle horse any Of the widest
of any age, he could bring into
q handy state, fit for any horse
man to ride, in four weeks;
while he would be a fortnight
longer in getting those safe
which had been haltered and
perhaps ridden bareback. :
There are reasons for prcferring
that all colts, and even young
cow kind, should be handled so
far as to be able to lead them,
as it saves a deal Of running
round at times; but the less a
colt is in the hands of men or
boys, knowing nothing ofhorse
manship, or in charge of men
pretending to know everything
about colts and horses, the bet
ter, till he becomes strong G.
nough to work, and has felt the
bit while in the hands Of a man
who can feel a horses mouth.
There is a gift to some men in
possessing hands with such a
delicate touch as for any horse
to tell if a driver orrider knows
how to guide him; and every
genuine jockey or gentleman
rider knows this to be a fact"

Common sweet cider, boiled
down to One-half, makes most
excellent syrup for coughs, and
colds for children-is pleasant
to the taste, and will keep for a
year in a cool cellar. In recov-
cring from an illness, the sys-
TEN has a craving for some
pleasant acid drink. This is
found in cider which is placed
over the fire as soon as made,
and allowed to come to a
boil, then cooled, put in a cask
and kept in a cool cellar.

GLUE KETTLEs.-A few
holes, bored in glue kettle, in
horizontal line near the rim,
will allow steam from the boil
or to enter the kettle, and so
prevent the glue from solidify-

need not be bored all round the
kettle as it is handy to be able
TO pour glue out of one side
without wasting it.
