Precautions.

l. Never sleep in room where
there is any green paper on the
walls, as this color is made of
arsenic or lead i; the former is by
far the most dangerous, being
Sheele's green, and is known posi-
lively by drop of muriatic acid
on the green leaving it white.
2. White glazed visiting cards
contain sugar of lead, and will
poison a child who is tempted to
chew them from the slight sweet
ish taste.
B. Green glazed cards, used for
concert tickets, are still more
poisonous; a single one of them
contains a grain and a-half of az
senic, enough to kill a child.
4. Neverput a pin in the mouth
or between the teeth for a single
instant, because a sudden effort to
laugh or speak may convey it to
the throat, or lungs, or stomach,
causing death in few minutes, or
requiring the windpipe to be cut
open to get it out if it has passed
into the stomach, it may, as IT has
done, cause years of suffering,
ceaslng only when it has made its
way out of the body through the
walls of the abdomen or other
portion of the system.
5. 1t is best to have no button
or string about any garment worn
during the night. A long, loose
night-gown is the best thing to
sleep in. Many a man has facilita-
ted an attack of apoplexy by but
toning his shirt collar.

The Cows Intelligence.

That COWS have memory, Ian
guage, signs, and the means Of
enjoying pleasant association,
or combining for aggressive
purposes, have been recognized,
but scarcely to the extent the
subject merits. Travelling in
Italy many years ago, we visit
ed some Of the large dairy farms
in the neighborhood of Ferrara.
Interspersed amongstmuch low
lying unhealthy land, remarka-
bic for the prevalence on it of
very fatal forms of anthrax in
the summer season, are fine I'M
dulating pasture lands, and the
fields a'e of great extent. We
happened to stop at a farm
house one fine Autumn after
noon when the cows were about
to be MIXED. A herd of over
one hundred was grazing home
wards. The women took their
place with stool and pail near
the house, and as the cows APP
preached names were called out
which we thought at first were
addressed to the milk-maids.-
Rosa, FlOrenza, Giula, Sposa,
and many names which were
noted by us at the time were
called ont by the overseer or
one Of the women, and we were
astonished to see COW after COW
cease feeding or chewing the
cud and make directs, sometime
at a trot, for the woman that
usually MIXED her. The prac-
tice we find was not confined
to one farm, all the cows on
each farm knew theirrespectivo
names and took up their posi-
ton in the opening just as re-
adily as the individual member
of some large herds in this
country turning from the fields
take up their places in the
sheds.-Me MIX Journal.

TREES OUT OF PLACE.-Trees are
out of place (says a writer in the
Eurmer) when they overshadow
the roof of a house, or darken
its windows, or shut out a fine
prospect. 1t is the testimony of
eminent physicians that no small
part of the sickness of families is
attributable to the shading of
dwellings by overhanging trees
and thick clustering vines. Our
bodies need light, pure sunlight,
and a great deal of it, and our
spirits need it none the less; and
he who shuts out this genial dis,
penser of health makes a great
mistake, aud does a great wrong.

Blackberry Wine.

The blackberry seasonsiis now
upon us, and we would urge
our readers to make the most of
it. This delicious fruit is not
the less valuable, intrinsicalIy,
because it grows spontaneously
all over the country, and may be
had in profusion for the picking.
Apart from the delicious pies,
cordials and marmalades, it
yields a wine, with proper man
ipulation, superior to the best
claret ever bought in our mar
ket, and valuable for its medi-
cal proprieties. The following
is said to be an excellent re-
cipe for the manufacture Of SUI
perior wines from blackberries:
Measure your berries and bruise
them, to every gallon adding a
quart Of boiling water. Let the
mixture stand twenty-fQur
hours, stirring occasionally;
then strain off the liquor into
cask, to every gallon adding
two pounds Of sugar; cork tight,
and let stand till following Oc-
tober, and you will have wine
ready for use, without any fur
Their straining or boiling, that will
make lips smack as they never
smacked under similar infuen-
ces before.

CURE FOR PoIsoN OAK

CURE FOR Poison OAK.-A
correspondent gives this as a
cure for poison oak: Sim
ply battle the parts poisoned
with water hot as can be borne;
keep increasing it till it can no
longer be used, without burning.
Now press a soft towel against
the parts so as to absorb the
water, and avoid rubbing; then
apply a rather strong solution
of navy or plug tobacco on the
poisoned spots and let it dry
The solution is best when the
water is hot. / have tried this,
and have been cured, or nearly
so, in two or four days at the
most.

RENovATING FEATHER BEDS

RENoVATING FEATHER BEDS.
Old feather beds and pillows
are greatly improved by putting
them on clean grass plot du-
ring heavy shower; let the bed
become thoroughly wetted;
turn them on both sides: let
them lie out until thoroughly
dry, then beat with rods; this
will Tighten the feathers and
make them much more healthy
to sleep on. Itremoves dust
and rejuvenateS the feathers.

PACKING EGGs.-The Poultry
Standard says: SIN packing eggs
put the large end dozen. The vi
tality OF eggs packed this way is
2 to l, if packed the small end
down. Mr.. Wright, the celebrated
author, says that repeated eX-
periments have demonstrated the
fact to his entire satisfaction, and
that eggs a month old when
packed this way are perfectly good
for Matching, and thus the eggs of
valuable birds can be sent long
distances with hope of success I"

SwEENY.-It is said that the
following is a good cure for the
sweeny: Take a bucket Of hot
water, as hot as the horse can
bear it; then have paddle about
as large as your hand hold the
hot water up to the horses shout
der, dip the paddle in and pat the
part affected until the water gets
cold.

CURING ToBACCo.-The Sc
cret of curing tobacco in Cuba,
it is said, lies in dampening the
tobacco with water previous to
packing it in casks or barrels,
which gives it the desirable
qualities of elasticity, increased
freedom in burning, superior
aroma, and softness of texture.
