Advantages Of Crying.

|. A French physician is out in long
dissertation on the advantages ol
groaning and crying arc two grand
operations by which nature aIlays
anguish; t. at those patients. who give
way to their natural feelings more
speedily rerover from accidents and
operations than those who suppose it
unworthy man to betray such symp-
toms of cowar.iice ,rs either to groan
or cry. uo tells of man who re-
duced his pulse from one hundred and
two nly-six to sixty. in the course of a
few hours, by giving full vent to his
emotions. IF people are at all unhap-
py abont anything. let them 70 into
their rooms and comfort themselves
with loud boo-hoo, and they will
feel hundred per cent. better after
ward.
In accordance with the above, the
crying of children should not be too
greatly discouraged II it is system
aticaIIy represscd the result may be
St. Vitus' dance. epileptic fits, or some
other disease Of the nervous system.
What is natural. is nearly always use.
,ful and nothing can be more natural
than the crying. Of children when
anything occurs to give them either
physical or mental pa'n.-Good Aeaith.

CURE FOR HEzT.-At this season
many persons suffer terribly from
the eruption called prickly heat.
So familiar is it that. all persons
know it, 1t is caused by the solid
perspirable matter not passing of
in dissolved state, as should he
the case. 1t is easily cured in one
day by using the warm bath for
ten minutes, then rubbing the at
fecte'l part with lemon juice: The
warm water dissolves the salts that
are lod sed under the skin; SO does
the lemon juice. When the erup.
ton stings and burns, lemon juice
rubbed on the part affected will
give relief in a few moments. Pos:
sibly, strong apple vinegar might
act im the same way. Persons who
cannot get lemon juice might use
nitric acid dissolved, twenty grains
to an ounce Of water.

How to See Down a Well.

It is not generally known, says
the Lancaster (Pcnn.) Intelligence,
how easy a matter it is to explore
the bottom Of a we'll, cistern, or
pond of water by the use of COM
mon mirror. When the sun is
shining bri ghtly, hold a mirror so
that the reflected rays of light will
fall into the water. A bright spot
will be seen at the bottom. SO light
as to show the smallest object plain
ly, By this means we have exam
incd the bottoms Of wells fifty feet
deep, when half.full or more of wa
ter. The smallest straw or other
objects can be perfectly seen from
the surface. In the same way one
can examine the bottom Of The
ponds and rivers. if the waters be
somewhat agitated by winds or
rapid motion. If a well or cistern
be under cover. or shaded by a
building so that the sunlight will
not fall near the opening. it is only
necessary to employ two mirrors,
using one to reflect the light to the
opening, and a.other to reflect it
down to reflect it down into the
water. Light may be thrown fifty
or a hundred yards to the precise
spot desirable, and then downward.
We have used the mirror with sue
cess, to reflect the light around the
house, to a shaded vel, and also to
carry it from south window
through two rooms and then into
a cistern under the north side of
the honse. Half dozen rehec-
tions of light may be made, though
each mirror dimilIishes the brillian-
cy of the light. Let any one not
familiar with the method. try the
experiment. 1t will perhaps re-
veal a mass of sediment at the bot
tom of the we'll that has been little
thought of. but which may have
been a frightful source of disease
by its decay in the water.

oil of pennyroyal will certainly
drive those pests off; but cheaper
method, where the herb hourishes,
is to throw your dogs and cats into
a decoction of it once week.
Now the herb and scatter it in the
bed%of the pigs once a month.
Where the herb cannot be got, the
oil may be procured. In this case,
saturate strings with it and tie
them around the necks Of dogs and
cats, pour little on the back and
about the ears of hogs, which you
can do while they are feeding with
out touching them. By repeating
these application every twelve or
fifteen days, the Acas will flee from
your quadruped to their relief ard
Improvement, and your relief and
comfort in the house.
Strings saturated with the oil OF
penny royal and tied around the
neck and tail of horses will drive
off lice; the strings should be sat-
ura ed once day.
